"Welcome to my restaurant; would you like a menu or do you know what you are looking for already?"
Hal is a nice guy, not known to get angered easily. However, be that as it may everyone knows not to make a ruckus in his restaurant. Hal is never one to turn away a truly hungry man; even at his own expense sometimes. Don't let this fool you though, he never gives food for free. Most of those that work for him are those that he has fed in times of need. Somehow Hal seems to know all the latest gossip and news that goes on before most others do. Some have even gone as far to say that he knows what is going to happen before those involved even think of doing so. Although he does talk to people about some stuff there are other things that need a little.....persuasion in the form of currency to get out of him.
Typically the only things that anger him are making a ruckus inside or in front of his restaurant, and disrespecting or harming his employees. Beyond that nothing really brings him to a rage. When he does get into a rage however, even his newer employees feel fearful of him.
Clothes:
Hal wears black dress pants, shoes and socks. He has a white button up dress shirt with a dark blue tie. To finish things off he has a black pin stripped suit vest. Over all he resembles a bartender.
Weapons:
Hal has several throwing knives that are hidden across his attire.
Miscellaneous items:
Kitchen utensils and unique cookware.
Abilities:
Many think that Hal is a Lucid Dreamer due to his skill with throwing knives (and how he hides them), and his swiftness in cooking and mixing being so superb. Although whenever asked he says he is not. Weather he is and just doesn't know it is uncertain as it has never really been tested. (I put this in case everyone would like him to be a Lucid Dreamer at some point.)
Skills:
Professional cook and drink mixer.
Great at teaching how to cook and mix drinks.
Pin point accuracy with throwing knives.
Before coming to Getsus Paradise Hal was (and still is) a world renowned chef. He was sought for events like royal and government parties, meetings in the UN and even for the extremely rich. Thanks to his client base Hal ended up with quite a lot of money himself. One day he decided to open up a chain of restaurants and called them Last Point. They were bar and grill dine in places that were meant for the more middle class people. Thanks to this (and the fact that everyone knew who owned them) these quickly became well known and very popular places to eat at. Of course he couldn't manage all of them himself so he trained thirty men and women to be nearly as good as he is. Each of those thirty trained twenty men and women to be nearly as good as they were. These six hundred thirty men and women then became the head chefs of the restaurants and co-owned the one they worked at. Surprisingly all of that happened within a few short years and left Hal at only a young age of twenty-nine.
The following year Hal was invited to open a restaurant in Getsus Paradise. This one he called Last Paradise Point, as a way of putting a definite difference on this one and all the other six hundred thirty Last Point restaurants. This building may be smaller than the others but it is the one that Hal ran himself. Within this building Hal not only sold food and alcohol, but also information. Somehow Hal always managed to his hands on all the news; be it planned to be released to the public or not. Even things that happened before Hal arrived he somehow managed to find out about.
As time went on the Last Points in the real world underwent name changes but still kept owners the same. And Hal himself became well known in Getsus Paradise among everyone in the Interactive Dream Dimension; refugee, citizen, and rebel alike. Due to this Hal's rate of getting information increased and got to the point almost nothing happened without him knowing about it.
