Danganronpa R: Beyond Hope and The Shadow of Despair [DISCONTINUED]

Hanzo Seiki Redesign

OG Post Date: 12/19/21
Finally, my last redesign. When redesigning him, I wanted to tone down the... evil aspect of his design. I wanted him to be a more approachable while still having a mad scientist vibe. I also wanted to keep his robotic parts for his design for story reasons. The design on his shirt is supposed to be a Brian but it does sort of look like a lung... oops.

Fun Fact(s): Hanzo Seiki is technically dead as he's actually Kodai Seiki. The alter ego of Kodai was placed into Hanzo's body. In fact, pretty much the entire Seiki family line is Kodai. In fact, most of them were orphans taken in by Kodai and had his AI implanted in them. The surname Seiki means "Star and beginning". Hanzo has it's origins from Hattori Hanzo was a legendary samurai of the Sengoku Era. It takes the two kanji 半 (han) meaning "half" and 蔵 (zō) meaning "to hide".  Kodai roughly means "happiness/blessing/fortune, large/big." If your curious about his mechanical parts, he lost his arm in a previous Killing Game, his eye was implanted by Kodai when Hanzo was Adopted, and the ear was made to be able to transport info to the "Main" Alter Ego Kodai and the other Kodai's. If your curious, a Neurologist (Neuroscientist) is a scientist/doctor who studies in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system. They also study how the brain and nervous system works. This character also has knowledge in psychology and a good chunk of knowledge in technology in both AI, coding and, engineering.

Backstory Synopsis: His original motive is actually pretty weak. His basic background was that he's the descendent of Kodai Seiki whose well known for his advancement in AI's and how he can duplicate a person and consciousness. discover that Hanzo Seiki was actually a Kodai Seiki AI that was put into the body of the Seiki's. He recreated the killing games to try and recreate Junko Enoshima. He wanted to recreate Junko Enoshima because he wanted to kill her himself. The entire Seiki family fell and if it wasn't for his AI, he would be dead. He wanted to recreate Junko just to kill her out of pure spite. (Not exactly a good motive which is one of the reasons why I canceled the series and it wasn't even recreated good, I feel like the game like this itself should be similar to the OG Killing Game).
