Overview
Hiro Hamada is a teenaged ball of snark attending the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Blessed with brilliance that allowed him to graduate high school at a young age, he used his intellectual gifts in San Fransokyo's illegal bot-fighting scene. The loss of his older brother and the arrival of a dangerous villain pushed Hiro towards something greater than his grief, greater than himself. Partnered with his brother's friends and greatest achievement, a Personal Healthcare Companion turned Super Fighting Robot named Baymax, Hiro upgrades the lot of them to their greatest potential as: Big Hero 6!
Perks
Genius Level Intellect: Superior intellect in science, technology, computer hacking and maintenance.
Practical applications of this high level of intellect include building inventions, upgrading previously created technology, designing and engineering various technological artifacts of use, hacking computer systems and other applied science pursuits. This knowledge also makes Hiro extremely well versed in tech support, repair and maintenance. He is capable of using his high level intelligence to fix problems on site or remotely, depending on the issue. Whether it is hardware, software related or he's trying to fix a toaster, chances are Hiro can fix problems or make things better.
Gadgeteer: Hiro specializes in robotics, upgrading technology, engineering and inventions.
Hiro possesses a strong love of science that couples with his high intelligence and gives him a strong sensibility when it comes to understanding the principles of various technology and finding a way to apply it for practical and pragmatic purposes. Hiro specializes in robotics and artificial intelligence that work primarily on a man - machine interface. However, he does demonstrate the capability of taking pre-designed devices and reframing them for optimal use in other ways. This mostly happens through creative ingenuity and imagination.
Evasive Maneuvers: Hiro's small stature and quick-witted nature helps him weasel out of harm's way.
Hiro is a capable individual when it comes to using his limited martial arts ability in tandem with his small stature in order to present himself in a quick and dodge-monkey style. He knows how to duck, twirl, spin and full-out run in order to stay out of harm's way. His knowledge also extends to using his keen mind and observant nature to escape pursuers or those that may want to do him harm.
Self Defense: Hiro is capable of protecting himself through martial arts.
Hiro has some light foundation in self defense. He doesn't know enough martial arts to even have a prowess but he has a passably functional baseline knowledge of self defense. Enough to keep himself from being completely wrecked in a fight.
Super Hiro Suit: Protective Armor with Electromagnetic Capabilities.
Hiro's super suit is a custom designed armored suit built for protection and maneuverability. It boasts a pair of slightly oversized gauntlets for protection and to house the super computer stored within. The helmet houses a vast communications array and HUD system with IFF compatibility and up to the nanosecond SitRep software. The suit also stores electromagnetic pads that allow Hiro to attach himself to metal objects, such as Baymax's suit.
The Super Hiro Suit upgrades Hiro to E-Tier.
When not wearing the suit Hiro is F-Tier.
San Fransokyo Institute of Technology: The nerd school of technological marvels.
Hiro is a student at SFIT and thus has access to the entire school and the facilities therein. These facilities provide him with the resources, tools and materials needed to facilitate his gadgeteer hero lifestyle, as well as his unending thirst for knowledge.
Lucky Cat Cafe: Home is Where the Food is.
Aunt Cass' restaurant is also where Hiro lives. Their place of residence is on top of the cafe. This combined location also sports a personal workshop and garage for Hiro and his inventions. Also: Free Food.
NPCs
Baymax< Feature D-Tier Named >: Robot Medic with Martial Arts Abilities and Flight.
Baymax is Hiro's Personal Healthcare Companion, Surrogate Brother and Partner in Superheroing. Baymax's essential functionality is as a Healthcare Companion that has been programmed with over 10,000 medical procedures. He possesses an incredible strength, the ability to store massive amounts of data and has built in medical equipment. Examples of such equipment are defibrillators in his hands, antibacterial spray from his finger tips and even a warming system that emits from his body as a whole. He's built out of a durable vinyl compound that makes him soft and fluffy, though houses a carbon fiber skeleton beneath. In addition to his medical knowledge, Baymax is capable of downloading new information directly from a source as well as playing audio/video on his body. Baymax's personality and features are housed on Programming Chips that can be installed into him. He can store up to four at a time.<br/><br/>    Hiro has upgraded Baymax with an armored suit to protect his vinyl body from harm. Baymax's suit has been fitted with rocket thrusters and back-mounted wings. Baymax's scanning system has been upgraded to allow for tracking by way of medical information. Baymax has electromagnetic extensions to allow Hiro to ride on his back. Baymax also sports a pair of rocket fists.
Aunt Cass< F-Tier Named >: Legal Guardian
Hiro is under the legal guardianship of Cass Hamada. She's the owner of the Lucky Cat Cafe and the ultimate support system for Hiro, not to mention a killer chef. With a little work, she might even be Big Hero material.
Complications
Baymax: Hiro needs Baymax for a variety of different reasons.
Baymax exists as Hiro's surrogate brother at this time. Hiro loves and cares for Baymax in the same way that he does with any of his other family members and friends. Also, as a robot, Baymax is reprogrammable and can also suffer from a low battery at times. Without his suit, Baymax's normal form is durably delicate which could make him easy to harm. With Baymax being Hiro's primary source of combat, without him, Hiro could find himself in trouble.
In addition to the practical reasons that Hiro needs Baymax, there's also an emotional attachment that bonds the two of them. Baymax is the only thing left of his brother that Hiro has and he looks at Baymax like his family. Baymax gives Hiro the strength and inspiration he needs to follow his dreams and continue his superhero lifestyle.
Hiro considers himself to be a protector of Baymax, at least on a verbal level. He looks at Baymax as someone that needs to be taught and guided through his new life of friendship and heroics. Hiro will often go to great lengths to preserve Baymax and their bond makes them virtually inseparable. However, in the event that Hiro loses Baymax on a seemingly permanent basis, Hiro becomes less enthused about life. He becomes quiet and withdrawn, almost giving up on everything that he cares about. He becomes a shell of his former self until reunited with Baymax in a meaningful way.
Hiro relies heavily on Baymax both in and out of heroic costume. Without him, Hiro is at a loss.
The Code: Heroes Don't Kill. Heroes Help.
There's a no killing code that exists across the entire Big Hero 6 team. Hiro had to learn the hard way that hurting others is not always the way. Hiro's focal point in being a superhero is to save and help others in whatever way possible. Violence is not always the answer.
Pubescent Mood Swings: Hiro's a mood-driven teenager that acts before he thinks. All the time.
Hiro is still a teenager when all is said and done. He still suffers from mood swings and emotional sensitivity that could set him off in different ways and at different times. This may spark some points of brash and impulsive behavior which could always lead to bad things.
Ego: Too smart for his own good.
Hiro's been smarter than everyone he knows since he was an even younger child. This has pushed him towards developing and cultivating an ego that's borderline unhealthy. Not all the way into the realm of full on conceited narcissist, Hiro's ego is attached to his intelligence, inventions and creations for the most part. This has the potential of leading to any number of problems as in or out of his super suit.
