Fame Hall

**Fame Hall** was the 7th leader of the Bounty Hunter Association, succeeding Charles Cancun and preceding Murata Masari.

## Appearance

Fame was a young man with black hair and grey eyes. He wears a bandage across his nose and gold earrings. He is usually seen wearing a white shirt with a black sweater on top, and dark blue pants. He wears bandage wraps around his left hand and a fingerless glove covers his right. Sometimes, he had earbuds come out the top of his shirt, one in his right ear and the other lying on his sweater.

## Personality

Fame was naive, playful to the point of being mischievous, and seemingly absentminded. He often joked around with his protege Kyoto Kaz instead of doing work, and consistently forgot about meetings and deadlines assigned to him. Despite this, his peers thought highly of him, likely due to his dreadfully incredible skill in Kotsu, as well as his unrelenting sense of righteousness among Bounty Hunters and his well-constructed strategies and plans.

Unfliching and unshakable, he is also an observer of human nature. Zed's hostility towards the BHA led Fame to reflect upon the nature of his self and his actions. Additionally, when fighting Lucas Lord, who refused to back down even after seeing the scope of his abilities, he expressed a fascination for the inner workings of human beings. However, by his own claim, he sees no difference between a puppet and a person.

Fame also had a highly addictive personality, shown when he became quickly addicted to Kyoto's variant of heroin and suffering heavily from withdrawals when she forced him to quit. He often carries a Jem with him, hitting it constantly, even during times of distress, and claimed that he "rips through three pods a day".

## Background

Little is known about Fame's early childhood. He was raised in a middle-class household in the east district of Bawskee City, and participated in Tower's Preliminaries. Although being able to pass the exam, he made the decision to not continue his training, as he felt that he wasn't cut out to be an instructor and would rather pursue other careers.

Eventually, he came into contact with Charles Cancun, the 6th leader of the Bounty Hunter Association, through an underground gambling competition. Fame recognized Charles's cheating tactic and called it "child's play", then took him aside and challenged him to play Fame honestly, or he would tell his competition. Charles, insulted by the concept of blackmail, attempted to fight Fame, but after Fame induced Soryoku, repented and agreed to the game, under the condition that Fame couldn't cheat, either, and they would both have guards checking their every move. Fame lost the game, stating that "I've never won a game without cheating", and turned to leave, before being stopped by Charles and being asked to lead the Bounty Hunter Association. He reluctantly agreed, being drawn in by the vast amounts of wealth that came with the title.

## Equipment

Jem - Fame carries a vape brand named "Jem" everywhere he goes.

## Abilities & Powers

Fame had the greatest authority in the Bounty Hunter Association due to his status as the leader. He was revered as the greatest Kotsu user to ever lead the Bounty Hunter Association.

### Keiyaku

Fame's Keiyaku is a pair of black nunchucks. It is unknown where he got them from, but they appear to be antique, and he claims they've existed since feudal Jopan.

### Kotsu

Fame's divination of Kotsu is unknown, but is it assumed he has a high amount divided into Kangaeru, as that is the only type he derives his abilities from.

Fame feels as if he has no need to name his abilities, but rather to just use them, as he is confident no other human could replicate them. His attack patterns are incredibly bizarre and confusing, as he performs a combination of using his nunchucks in hand-to-hand combat, then continuing hand-to-hand combat while attacking with the nunchucks using Kangaeru to move them, then moving them telepathically, having them mimic his hand-to-hand combat despite him not holding them while he catches his breath. His attack style is relaxed, almost cocky, and playful to an extent.

## Goals/Motivation

After being introduced to the Bounty Hunter Association, Fame learns the morals of Bounty Hunters and takes them to heart, as before he lived with no rules or boundaries and was desperate to change that. He hopes that the BHA continues to grow in strength and will contain the greatest Keiyaku users to ever exist.

## Quotes

"(when asked about why he chose nun chucks as his Keiyaku) 'Cause nunchucks are fucking sick, that's why. Why would you just pick a sword or something when you could use nunchucks?"

"I think humans are great. It's incredible how absolutely horrible yet brilliantly wonderful they can be at the exact same time."

"The human condition...certainly is an interesting thing. No matter how hard I try to abstain from it, I always get played the fool"

"I think not playing a game by the rules is one of the most fun ways to play a game, especially if you're opponent doesn't realize. It introduces a whole new dimension, and you're the only one that knows about it"
