Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch:a mental health/neurodivergent headcanon.

Haruto’s… hard to classify in regards to mental health. The most one can say for him, quite truthfully, is a severe case of PTSD topped by immense survivor’s guilt. In-series, he’s shown to suffer some degree of flashbacks to traumatic events in his life, particularly his parents’ deaths. In fact, they serve as a huge source of motivation for the work he does as a wizard. The same can be said for his survivor’s guilt, as the sense of loss he’s felt and the lack of understanding as to why he lives and everyone else around him tends to suffer pushes him to try to “make up for” that which he feels he owes the deceased. It’s a rather common thing with people who have survivor’s guilt, if my memory serves? 

Send me a ‘♦ + character name’ to know about their relationship with that character in Hive City.

♠: What’s one thing you dislike about your Muse?

He has a stubborn habit of never allowing others to see the hurt he’s going through. Seriously, when it comes to himself, he really doesn’t like opening up. Because of that, he ends up being a bit of a hypocrite in his whole “moving on and believing in hope” thing. He helps so many other people cope, but he never takes the time to cope with his own issues. Just… shrugs it off with the idea that his problems are nothing compared to everyone else’s. It actually gets a little frustrating to write out, sometimes. 

♣: One thing you love about your Muse.

Send me ± for a headcanon about our characters

Haruto looks at Kouta almost like a little brother, due to his energetic and overall purehearted way of doing things. He’ll usually call him kouhai in a playful sort of manner, and will probably pick with him sometimes. Usually about his Rider powers being themed around fruit. 

[hands]:are they large or small, do they have pianist’s fingers or short stubby ones, do they tend to get sweaty or are they always dry, is the skin rough or delicate, are the nails painted or chewed or sharp, etc.

Haruto’s hands are surprisingly smooth, if one sits down to feel them. They’re about average size, and are more or less what’d you expect to find on a regular guy passing by on the street. I’d say he tends to have slightly longer fingers than most (have you seen those rings), but nothing really spectacular. He really doesn’t suffer much from sweaty hands, either. 

3. What is one of your character’s strengths in combat?

His ability to quickly plan and formulate a strategy based on the situation. Quite a few times in Wizard, Haruto ends up being the “plan guy”, who comes up with the method of attack and manner in which they’ll tackle the Phantom of the week. He’s surprisingly crafty, and will use his magic to its best effect. 

4. What is one of your character’s weaknesses in combat?

1. What fighting style does your character employ?

Confusion-Fu, ho! 

Haruto tends to reply quite a bit on diversity and adaptability in his fighting style. While his acrobatics and ability to flip around the battlefield with ease is indeed a key part of his technique, his magic is what really carries him in combat. The unpredictable nature of it makes it hard to plan against, and, when combined with his regular tactics, most opponents get taken out before they can figure out what he’s going to do next. 

8. How likely is your character to engage in combat on their own?

Extremely. Haruto is a Kamen Rider, after all. They’re used to going on solo most of the time. Not to mention, Haruto’s worked solo for several months—half a year when we see him in the first episode of Wizard, if my memory holds up. 

10. What is the worst combat injury your character could imagine having?
