xxx ASAKURA HAO

Appearance: Definitely a bishounen, through and through. He appears cute and innocent (cough as if), like Yoh (seeing as they're twins and all), with long dark brown hair and black eyes. Give him some credit for being able to pull off the long, silky hair and still be manly and handsome at the same time. Verdict: Sexy. Hot. On fire. Literally?

Clothing: Poofy stuff. And what do I mean by that? He doesn't seem to wear anything too tight-fitting, even though he has a body to die for. His beige cloak covers everything from the neck down, stopping just above his ankles. The pants are the best part of his wardrobe, as many will tell you. Everyone who's anyone has tried to get their hands on the pants. Or in them. As accessories, he wears earrings, and matching gloves and lego-like shoes.

Intelligence: Smart? Slightly insane? Does this guy even know what school is? Anyway, when it comes to fighting, I'm sure Hao is brilliant. Don't expect to have an intelligent, enlightening conversation with him about Newton's Laws of Motion, though. He'll probably only come up with one law: if it moves, burn it.

Personality/Socializing: Hao is without a doubt one of the most good-natured villains I have ever seen. Don't be fooled by his innocent smile, though. There's a pyromaniac inside just waiting to burst out and turn the world into a giant barbecue. And humans are on the menu. He's very confident and determined, and because of his great power he has very few companions. There are those who are loyal to him, but no one really understands him. They're too afraid to try. He's got Opacho, though, who showers him with childish admiration. Oh, and did I mention he has a certain dislike for humans? Thus his goal to build the Shaman Kingdom. Other than that little quirk, pleasant guy, really.

Finances: Who needs money when you have the Spirit of Fire? If you don't mind money, food, clothing, etc. coming from nowhere (it's assumed from the deaths of several unlucky people), just leave it all to Hao. All you need to do is follow him, act useful, and look pretty.

Home Economics: Hao doesn't seem the type to be interested in settling down in one place for a long period of time. It'd bore him, so he's always traveling. Somewhere along the way he had to have picked up some useful homemaking skills in order to survive, unless he had someone else do it for him. I'd say decent, but don't expect too much.

Combat: Try over a million furyoku and a huge elemental spirit. He's mastered all the elements, and can reincarnate himself (you wouldn't happen to mind waiting a few centuries for a man, would you?) No one would dare pick a fight with you as long as Hao's around.

Competition: The first thing that pops into mind is fangirls. Tons of them. He's probably fending them off with a stick (bad Hao, never hit a woman!). Or...erm...flirting with all of them. Good luck getting noticed. As for in the actual series, Hao doesn't seem to have romantic attachments to any of the Mankin girls. He could be interested in Anna (subtle hints here and there), but it can be seen that she regards him as the enemy. The Hanagumi would do anything for Hao, and if he were interested in any of them, they would be more than willing to be involved with him romantically. But he's not, so despite whatever jealousy they may come to harbor for you, they respect Hao and will slowly come to respect you as long as you make him happy. Which is good for you! You'd think there'd be more competition, since he's so good-looking, but it appears to be an either 'you love him or you hate him' situation.

Family: He's part of the Asakura family, but they both hate and fear him. It can be assumed they could care less what goes on in his love life. He seems intent making his twin brother stronger, though. And retrieving the other part of his soul. I wouldn't worry about any in-laws getting in the way.

In Bed: Wow. Let's see, I bet Hao would be unbelievable in bed. He's had a thousand years experience after all, I think he'd have to pick up a few amazing skills. There'd be lots of teasing, plenty of foreplay, and he'd make sure you were vocal about your enjoyment. Seems like the kinky, always-on-top, dominating type as well.

Conclusion: When going for Hao, make sure you're prepared to handle this pyromaniac. Commitment doesn't appear to appeal to him much. He could have nearly any girl he wanted, and he has many options in the fangirl realm, but after he got bored of her he'd simply leave her. Although, once you've tamed him, he'll be a dependable, charming husband. Could get very possessive of you, too, and start calling you his woman. I'd suggest bringing a fire extinguisher along if you're going for this one.

A/N: There, for all you Hao fangirls, this bachelor's done. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, I'll do my best to please everyone. From your input, I've decided the order for the next four chapters. Following this chapter, it'll be: Faust VIII, Lyserg, Ren Tao, HoroHoro. I've decided to do the girls (Anna, Jun, Tamao, Pirika, Jeanne) after the guys are finished. Remaining guys, in no particular order: Manta, Chocolove, Wooden Sword Ryu, and Marco.

Feel free to make a request, addition, or suggestion and I'll do my best to incorporate your ideas/wishes. Thanks!
