Hobbies:
||Working Out||
Being a hunter, Hansel must maintain a certain physical standard. He finds working out as a great stress reliever, all while sculpting his body to keep it in tip-top shape.
||Eating||
Hansel is practically a pig, he loves to chow down and stuff his face when he can. He also has a sweet tooth.
||Polishing His Arsenal||
Hansel has a bit of OCD when his weapons are involved. He cleans them until they are spotless, after every kill and hates when Gretel moves them from where he placed them.
Powers:
||Magic Immunity||
Thanks to the love of their parents, both Hansel and Gretel were gifted with heirlooms that protect them from any form of magical oppression. However, they are not immune to physical harm. They are still vulnerable to things outside of the magical field.
Strengths:
||Combat||
Regarding hand to hand combat, Hansel is highly skilled in the area. He doesn't fight fair and likes to play dirty. He is very resourceful, which he relies on during battle. Don't be surprised if he ends up using a tree branch to bash in a skull or broken shards of glass to stab a witch repeatedly.
||Weapons||
Within his arsenal are a wide range of weaponry that he made his business to know how each an everyone ticks. He has familiarized himself with crossbows, pistols, rifles, and a reasonable amount of explosives.
||Music||
Despite his manly image, Hansel is a fairly talented singer and also a great guitar player. He doesn't flaunt this and rarely displays the talent.
Flaws:
||Cooking||
Hansel can't cook to save his life. The most he can do is chop vegetables and that alone takes concentration.
||Being Nice||
Hansel has a bad habit of speaking his mind and not censoring his thoughts. No matter how vulgar, rude, or cruel, Hans doesn't give a damn. He hates beating around the bush and believes in telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...regardless of how brutal and painful it may be.
||Sympathy or Empathy||
Hansel has closed his emotions off to the world and hardened himself. He feels no sympathy for the dead. He can come across as heartless, but when it comes to his sister, Hansel actually cares. However, to everyone else he is practically stone.
Personality:
|Brave|Stubborn|Cold|Clever|Snarky|Heartless|Scarred|Blunt|Deadly|Passionate|
Hansel is a first rate hardass with a short fuse. Some may consider him a ticking time bomb, due to his trigger finger and no nonsense attitude. He has his flaws and his good qualities, but he doesn't have a healthy balance of both. His most prominent qualities consist of:
|His Dark Humor|
Hansel possesses a very cynical type of humor that is laden with sarcasm, caustillity, and utter bitterness. His words are like daggers, cutting into the flesh and bring forth pain. He doesn't try to hurt people, but it just happens and he gave up trying to improve this aspect of himself.
|His Intelligence|
Aside from his clever quips, Hansel is fairly intelligent. He is pretty good at puzzles, concocting strategical plans, and building traps.
|His Passion|
He is a very passionate man that puts his all into something. He does everything full on, never holding back for anything. Go big or go home is what he believed in.
Those are simply a few qualities that Hansel has. He is also observant, spotting every little detail and knowing body language. Between the two of the Houwen siblings, Gretel is more of the talker, but Hansel is the ladies man. He has the ability to change his hard persona and dazzled women with his smile and false kindness. He can give off the impression that he is interested and actually charming, but as soon as he sees no more use in the male or female he's flirting with, his mask falls he is back to his cold stony self.
History:
From the moment he first held his father's pistol in his hands, Hansel knew that he was meant to be a hunter. He looked up to his parents, for they were the role models in his life. It was his idea to go with his parents into town, so they ventured out, seeking information to find the Gingerbread Witch that's been killing children in town. He was excited, holding onto his heirloom tightly as they trekked forward. However, tragedy struck and they were ambushed. In a panic, their father sent the siblings away into the forest., but Hansel spared one more glance, watching the witch slaughter his mother and his father trying in vain to execute the beast.
He and Gretel found refuge and at that moment he made a promise to himself and his parents. "I will kill all of them...every last one of those monsters, for you." He then made it his mission to rid the world of witches and take care of Gretel; to keep her breathing by any means necessary...even at the risk of his own life.
