Personality: Hura-Glock is a Huragok Engineer who became a world-class (or galaxy-class?) hitman who performs his contracts with supreme precision, distinguished profession and total-badassery. Hura-Glock got his alias from the Glock guns he acquired from an assassin who he and his fellow Huragok took in and nursed to health. Due to both his skill as a hit-man who leaves few witnesses and the fact that he is an Engineer, his existence sounds too ridiculous to be true. What people do not realise is that this works to Hura-Glock's advantage since few are willing to believe that a Huragok Engineer is a credible threat.
When he's following a contract, he is ruthless and scarily cold for a cute jellyfish-alien who literally exists to repair things and make people feel better. Not only will he plot like an antihero in a truly broody manner on how he is going to complete his task, but he will also administer death upon his targets (and anyone else he believes to be deserving of it) in either the most painful, ostentatious or creative ways possible, and not only that, he will like it.
But he wasn't always this way. Before events took place that made him the terrifyingly dangerous assassin he now is, he and a group of fellow Huragok who considered one another family (likely because they 'built' one another), immigrated to the wealthy Human Colony of Taelen V following the Human-Covenant war under the reluctant authorisation of the UEG to live peaceful lives in the mountainous wilderness of the colony where they intended to build a Huragok culture and establish their species' independence and free-will. But that was all taken away from him and now he seeks to act as an agent who hands out a rather extreme sentence to those who harm others and get away with it.
He is perhaps smarter, or at the very least more proactive and self-aware than the average Huragok, both understanding and acting upon concepts of murder and revenge, and is able to copy fighting styles and firearms usage simply after observing them. He is undoubtedly the galaxy's best cilia-to-hand fighter and is expertly skilled with a variety of weapons. His signature style is a combination of Eastern martial arts and Huragok flexibility, and is also trained in survival and the use of medicinal herbs for more 'soothing' treatments. Hura-Glock also possesses something similar to natural animal magnetism, even though he is not an animal, the fact that he is considered 'cute' and 'harmless' due to being a Huragok makes everyone want to hang out with him, and makes it very hard for people to even fathom that he is one of the galaxy's most dangerous hitmen.
Hura-Glock tends to become very self-punitive when he slips up and makes a mistake, especially in his line of work. Though he clearly has morals and will never intentionally endanger innocent life, that doesn't stop him from accidentally getting the wrong people killed or put in terrible situations due to his actions as a hitman. When this occurs, which admittedly is rare, Hura-Glock will both cry and lament deeply over what he has done, sometimes even turning to superstitious figures for guidance to console him. Nevertheless, Hura-Glock keeps a calm and professional face on when he's done weeping, and he can switch from depressive monologueing back to business in record time.
His skills have earned him quite the reputation, even though many still don't believe he is real and pass him off as a tall tale, and they have even made him an on-call client of both the Directive 8 Agency and the Galactic Intelligence Service. Sometimes, he's willing to take mercenary gigs, if the money is right- both in how much it is and how it's earned.
The Huragok who could become Hura-Glock lived in the mountainous wilderness of the wealthy Human world of Taelen V as part of a clan of Huragok trying to live peaceful lives and build a Huragok culture after the Human-Covenant war. Members of this clan took in a fugitive hitman who was on a mission to take down a powerful politician and crimelord, nursing him back to health with their natural abilities, herbal remedies and hot springs. But the one who would become Hura-Glock disagreed with this, knowing that someone would eventually come looking for the assassin. Once the nameless assassin regained his health, he began to hone his skills once more, practising on snowmen. The Huragok in question studied this assassin, learning his skills and started to mimic them, but he warned the hitman against these evil ways.
In time, he resorted to an angry outburst against the members of his clan over the continued presence of the assassin and was exiled to walk alone. He happened upon a group of soldiers in the woods who were looking for the assassin, and, wanting the hitman gone, he pointed them in the right direction, believing they would just take the man they were looking for and go. But then, he heard gunfire, and quickly returned to the group, but did not make it in time. The assassin and his clan were slain and the Huragok sought vengeance, picking up the assassin's Glock pistols and killing the soldiers for abusing his trust like that.
His home and his clan gone, Hura-Glock set out on his journey as "a killer of killers" with a duffel bag full of guns. Searching for Governor Niyeshi Ichigoru, the one who gave the orders to kill the nameless assassin, he started to kill every man Ichigoru had been involved with. After Niyeshi realised that a Huragok was searching to kill him he hired Colonel Boryu Antanaga, his best man as a body guard.
The spirit of the deceased hitman started to guide him to the city where Ichigoru was. General Shinzo Hane, who was involved in the plot too was his first target but Hura-Glock shot his innocent assistant, and was wrought with grief so he left the scene, crying. The ghost of the assassin scolded him for it, causing Hura-Glock to doubt himself and dwell on the thoughts of his clan and the culture they had failed to build, wishing he could go back to those simpler times. But the hitman insisted on Hura-Glock completing what he had started and said it was his fault for coming into his life and ruining it. The hitman then told Hura-Glock about his real identity and his life story- a story only Hura-Glock would come to know, and this new sense of understanding between the two enabled the assassin to effectively train Hura-Glock to be the world-class hitman he was. Having regained hope, Hura-Glock went back to work.
A thrown away news paper said that Hane's daughter was getting married, and his own investigation revealed to him that the Governor was on the guest list, so the perfect place for the hit was in the gardens of the exquisite Manquila hotel on Taelen V during the wedding.
There, guards were posted all across the exotic hotel and Hura-Glock had to somehow break-in. He purchased a cheap active camouflage device but decided not to smuggle himself in that way- fearing that the entrances to the hotel would be filled with detectors for it. He instead smuggled himself in using barrels of wine and moved from the wine cellar to one of the cleaner's trolleys and hid inside until the cleaner reached the first room on the third floor- where a member of the live band was staying. Hura-Glock quickly exited the cleaner's trolley and hid himself in the bathroom, locking himself in to avoid the cleaner under the guise that he was the band member inside. When the cleaner left he established the room as his base of operations and spied on the wedding reception which took place outside.
He employed the cheap but functional active camouflage device to conduct any necessary casing of the place while he was there, but had to do so quickly each time for it only lasted a few minutes before needing to recharge. He then returned so he could assemble his weapons. As the reception began, it was time. Hura-Glock had his eyes trained on Ichigoru and Hane with a sniper from his room aimed at the Governor. Hura-Glock interestingly remarked that Hane's daughter did not seem happy, but after all he didn't know enough about human culture to deduce whether that was what she was supposed to look like or not. Just before he could fire, a security guard who silently entered the room got him in a headlock and tried to wrestle him down, but underestimated Hura-Glock, who hit him in the gut hard, beat him down and then pulled two suppressed Glocks on him and his partner, shooting them dead.
Now knowing that his plot was compromised, he had to act fast. He couldn't help but panic and once he calmed down and readied himself to snipe his two targets, they were out of sight and taking the shot at either of them would be too risky, besides, he needed an exit strategy and now that he was discovered, it was only a matter of time before he would be stopped. He spied on the reception and watched General Hane's daughter Michi be married. He then learned that they were moving the after-party to one of the upper floors-a massive hall where the floor was made of glass and covered a massive indoor aquarium that could be viewed from the hall itself. Hura-Glock then came up with an idea- he quickly packed up his guns back into his duffel bag and sent the bag on top of the elevator. He then made his way to the floor just below the aquarium and used the ability to squeeze into tight places offered by his physiology to squeeze through the ventilation shafts and get into the massive automatic cleaning systems for the aquarium, which he shut off so he could safely pass through. Able to survive underwater due to his physiology, he made himself part of the aquarium and blended in with the fish and other creatures there. Though clearly bigger than anything in it, he managed to hide himself among the jellyfish and spied on the party as it took place from underneath them. He identified all the important figures- Michi Hane (Now Michi Calaga), General Hane, Governor Ichigoru, the groom Tiro Calaga, and the bodyguards. After figuring out a plan, Hura-Glock went back through the cleaners and to the elevator shaft where he recovered his duffel bag and readied his Glock Pistols, two Uzis, three grenades and a poison-tipped knife, ready with more ammo and weapons inside the bag. He went back into the aquarium and saw that everyone was distracted by the live band playing, allowing him to be less discreet in the aquarium. He made a contraption with one of the grenades underneath the man entrance that would mean the pin would be pulled once he pressed a remote control button. He then made his way over to pond-like section where the glass could be opened for the sake of either feeding or interacting with the creatures within in case automated systems failed. There, he slipped his cilia through to open the lock from the outside and opened the glass.
He then rose from the water, cocked both his Glocks in two tentacles, took aim at the two bodyguards stood right beside the section and fired two bullets through them. As if the immediate shock from everyone there wasn't enough, he used cilia from his other tentacles to manipulate the dying bodyguards' hands and make them take their own weapons and fire at the other security staff, all whilst firing his own weapons at them. He made an effort to avoid the other guests, and once the guards drained their clips, he let them fall to the ground and die. General Hane, Governor Ichigoru and the bride and groom were being covered by the guards, and more were arriving as they fought. Hura-Glock then readied his Uzis to shoot the guards coming from behind, whilst he flipped two tables on their sides to act as his shields against the ones at the front defending the VIPs.
Taking heavy fire, Hura-Glock had to act fast two get rid of the guards, so he pressed the remote control button and waited a few seconds, and then watched as that side of the aquarium blew up and sent the shattered glass shards flying into them, disorienting, injuring and killing them. But Colonel Antanaga, who armed himself with a shotgun, was trying to sneak from the VIP area around Hura-Glock's tables so he could pump shells into the attacker. But Hura-Glock saw him in the reflection of the window and decided to slip back into the aquarium- he was chased after by the Colonel, who tried to shoot through the glass with his shotgun to end Hura-Glock's life. Hura-Glock was running out of aquarium glass to hide under, so he had to sacrifice one of his tentacles so he could stretch it out and slash Antanaga with the poison-tipped knife, the Colonel then blasted said tentacle off, making him shriek in pain. But he bought himself enough time to leap out of the aquarium and open fire with his two Glocks on the glass the man was standing upon, making him fall in and be swarmed by fish who ate at his injuries. Hura-Glock turned his attention back to the VIP section, and the guards opened fire once again. He killed the majority of them and nearly shot the bride, but was unwilling to view her as guilty of the same crimes as her father.
Once he killed all the guards but one, he dreadfully approached them, but then realised that General Hane was not among them, and saw Ichigoru smile. Hane, who was behind Hura-Glock, grabbed his neck and tried to slit his throat with a knife. Hura-Glock managed to keep the knife away from him, but the General was still buying the Governor, bride, groom and guard the time they needed to escape. They wrestled over control of the dagger, to his surprise the General could cope very well with dealing with numerous tentacles all trying to attack him at once, but then, Hura-Glock came up with a plan- he tried floating himself and the General to one of the smashed windows. When he finally did, he managed to get them outside, but remained in the air due to his abilities to float. Knowing Hane did not possess those same abilities, all he had to do was give him a reason to let go of him. He removed one of the tentacles he was using to defend his throat from the General's knife to his remaining two grenades, and stretched his cilia out so he could both hold one and take the pin out at the same time. It was painful and difficult to do, but he just managed to reach the pin and pull it out. He then slipped the grenade in between the General's suit and his shirt, causing him to react frantically and let go of Hura-Glock so he could take it out, but he then realised his mistake as he lost the very thing keeping him suspended, and plummeted to the ground- a ground he would never meet as the grenade exploded and scattered him across the area.
He floated back into the hall where Colonel Antanaga continued to suffer, and put him out of his misery by taking his shotgun and shooting him dead with it. He then rushed to follow the remaining VIPs, who must've nearly reached the lobby of the hotel. When he got there, he found them running through a lobby which was being evacuated, but the sight of Hura-Glock forced Ichigoru to order the bodyguard to give him a gun and then pull his own gun on Tiro Calaga while he pulled his on the general's daughter. Governor Ichigoru told Hura-Glock that if he floated any closer, the bride and groom would meet their ends. His mission objective having now become save the innocent couple, Hura-Glock was forced to put down his guns and duffel bag. The Governor and guard then backed away to an SUV, but the guard then stumbled and Hura-Glock used this split-second of extra time to quickly draw a Glock pistol and fire at him, making the guard flinch, but pull his trigger and shoot the groom in the stomach. Ichigoru then ran off with the daughter of the general and tried to get away and let the other two die, but Hura-Glock propelled himself forward fast enough to grab the daughter's other arm, pull her away from him and then grab the Governor's neck and strangle him, forcing him to drop his gun and then lift him, and bash his head into the SUV. Ichigoru was able to get ahold of one of Hura-Glock's Glocks and fired at him with it, injuring him. Hura-Glock was so shocked from it that Ichigoru was able to take aim at his head, but Hura-Glock sacrificed another tentacle to survive the shot, whichw as the last in the clip, and he then punched Ichigoru with the last of his two remaining full-sized tentacles and grabbed his other Glock, loaded a single bullet into it and fired at his head, killing the Governor.
He quickly tended to the daughter and the groom, who was dying. He and Michi took Tiro into the back of the SUV where Hura-Glock tried to operate on him using his natural healing capabilities. He was able to stabilise him, and when Michi said she couldn't drive, Hura-Glock was forced to take the wheel and drive the vehicle, learning quickly how to using his natural abilities.
As they drove away from the scene, Hura-Glock was asked why he had to kill the General by the bride. Hura-Glock equipped himself with his voice translator and told her quite directly that General Hane was a bad man and deserved it, but apologised that it had to be that way. As Tiro drifted off to sleep, Hura-Glock said that they would certainly now be wanted on the planet and asked if she truly was happy with Tiro. Michi said she was, but Hura-Glock saw through her bad acting and she corrected herself by admitting that she would've been, for when they first met, Tiro was a good, kind and honest person, but her father had groomed him into a much crueller, domineering person who didn't see, to care for others anymore. Hura-Glock asked what that meant for her, and Michi said she wasn't sure what she would do. She wanted to be with him yes, but the old him. If that Tiro was gone, she wasn't sure she would stay married to him. Hura-Glock said that now that the General was gone, perhaps his influence over Tiro could go too.
In time, the trio made it away from the city to a small town where they could treat Tiro properly for his injuries. After he was ready to walk again (albeit with a limp), they got onto a train taking them to the spaceport. On their way there, Hura-Glock was worried about Tiro and his attitude that seemed very much like General Hane's. He even considered killing Tiro but making it look like an accident, but the hitman's spirit convinced him not to give up on him. Hura-Glock's constant attempts at changing Tiro failed, and Michi cried over the loss of who she used to love. But then men belonging to Eno Calaga- Tiro's father who General Hane corrupted before Tiro- this time into a man who was disapproving of his son, who had trailed them to the train, tried to take away the two and bring them back, and Hura-Glock had to fight them. They managed to get them off the train at the next stop but Hura-Glock attacked in a rescue mission. He was just about to have saved them, but Eno Calaga himself, who Hura-Glock had a gun pulled on, had a gun pulled on Michi and told his son to kill Hura-Glock with the gun from one of the dead guards or else he would shoot his wife dead. Hura-Glock, with only one tentacle left after the battle, tried to stop Tiro choosing his father's side. Tiro, wishing to finally get recognition form his father, pulled the gun on Hura-Glock, who was about to give up there and there, but Tiro, thinking about Michi and how she used to be much happier with him before General Hane changed him, instead turned his gun on Eno and shot him, not killing but injuring him. The trio then made their way out and escaped.
At the spaceport, Hura-Glock was invited by Tiro and Michi to live a peaceful life on Earth with them, away from killing and danger, but Hura-Glock politely declined, and told them that he had a different purpose- but told them to remain true to themselves, not anyone else and their supposed approval.
He left them both and said goodbye, leaving to wander alone. As he floated through the streets, the spirit of the deceased hitman praised Hura-Glock for learning not to give up on Tiro and in the process having given two people totally new, happy lives as a result, and that he was among the greatest hitmen in the galaxy for doing what he did.
Without a life of his own to return to, Hura-Glock, after healing from his injuries and regrowing his lost limbs, used the memory of his fellow Huragok to fuel his new purpose- the killing of killers- people who do harm to others, people who cheat the system and get away with it because of power and money. Hura-Glock set about his new life as a hitman, a mercenary and sometimes agent for the right organisation.
Ever since, he has been made an on-call client for both the Directive 8 and Galactic Intelligence Service agencies, and accepts some mercenary work- provided the targets deserve what's coming to them. Though many still don't believe he exists and pass him off as a fear-mongering tale to ward off crimelords and other bad people from doing the things they do- one thing is for certain, whether he exists or not- Hura-Glock is the among the most badass hitmen to ever live, be it in fiction or fact.
