He&apos;s very, very, very small, and very, very, very skinny. Despite this he does have very good muscle tone as he is frequently active. His hair is a silver shade with a dark undertone in the manga version, and the style has earned him the nickname &apos;octopus head&apos;. His eyes are a shade of grey green, unless he&apos;s wearing contacts, and his eyes become a very bright shade of green. However he only wears them in combat, opting for glasses when he needs to read or do school work. He is very fond of accessories, often adorning himself with many earrings, necklaces, rings, and belts. His outfits almost always include skinny-jeans or the like, accompanied by converse shoes. His shirts are often more varied, but still give off a bit of his &apos;rebel&apos; attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Personality:&lt;/b&gt;Years on the streets have turned Gokudera bitter and abrasive. Understandably so. He trusts few and prefers to work alone. He dislikes just about everyone he meets for ridiculous reasons (the Tenth is giving them more attention, they&apos;re older then him, ETC). The few he does put his trust in however, undoubtedly have the most loyal friend imaginable. For example, when tortured for information on his boss, he simply spits in the offenders face despite being near death and in excruciating pain. He can be brash and reckless, caring little for his own well being leading him to frequently get injured... or injure himself (he often apologizes to Tsuna by bowing repeatedly, slamming his forehead on the ground). He is by no means dumb, though. On the contrary, he is quite intelligent. He aces all his tests in school without so much as breaking a sweat. In fact, it is revealed that he has gotten so bored in school that he has invented his own language- Gokudera script or &amp;quot;G-script&amp;quot;. Obviously he frustrates his teachers who see him as a smart rebellious kid with issues with authority (which is mostly right on).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting into Gokudera&apos;s good graces is very difficult, as he actively tries to push others away with his pugnacious attitude. He can be rude, callous, easily jealous, and is always looking to start a fight, even for something as simple as bumping into him. He can also be a bit of a bully, finding great joy in giving others a hard time with how they look, or crying publicly. However he doesn&apos;t go overboard, he would never tease someone who was seriously injured or had a death in the family, he wouldn&apos;t sink that low. Of course it&apos;s no surprise that he frequently admits he hates kids (would you even WANT to leave a kid with him!?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing how he is like this most of the time, his reactions to Tsuna, the 10th Vongola, is rather comical. He becomes euphoric, smiling constantly and trying WAY TOO HARD to try to please Tsuna... which usually ends up just creating more trouble and work for Tsuna. Of course he can switch from this bizarre glee to his aggressive state and back at the drop of a hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also on a more comical note, Gokudera has an affinity for the occult. He considers himself a &apos;mystery hunter&apos; and is utterly fascinated with the idea of talking to aliens. In fact at one point far later on in the series he goes as far as chasing a woman named Shitt P. (that&apos;s seriously her name) classifying her as a U.M.A.- an &amp;quot;unidentified mysterious animal&amp;quot;, in hopes of asking her to use her powers to help him communicate with extra terrestrials (he gets a full-on body grope instead... though judging by his reaction he would still rather have gone for the aliens). Although this is probably just the side effects of being a 14 year old boy rather then some bizarre personality quirk.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you are apping a character arriving from another game:&lt;/i&gt; Nope, he&amp;rsquo;s from Canon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background:&lt;/b&gt; Gokudera was born in Italy into a very rich mafioso household, however he was an illimitable child. His mother was a pianist who his father had fallen in love with. However an illimitable child would have been unacceptable in such a household, and Gokudera was brought up with the assumption he was legitimate. His mother was allowed to see him three times a year, but not allowed to tell her who she was. She was introduced to him as a piano teacher, until he was three and his mother had driven off a cliff, it being written off as a suicide. Still, even at a young age he showed an immense talent with the piano. In fact he gave concerts and was very well renowned. The bad news is that this had something to do with his half-sister Bianchi. On his first recital she baked him a batch of cookies, however she accidentally poisoned him. Being so ill caused him to play awkwardly, however it was praised as unique and modern. Thus their father ordered Bianchi to make the cookies for Gokudera before every performance, starting a trend where Bianchi would use Gokudera to test her poisoned recipes. Later in life this causes him to become violently ill whenever he sees his sister&apos;s face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he was eight, things took a turn for the worse (yes, worse then his sister poisoning him) he caught wind of rumors floating around the household. He learned his piano tutors true identity, and that the theory was that his father had ordered her to be killed because she was a risk to his position in the mafia. Enraged, Gokudera ran away from home and took up life on the streets, searching for a mafia family to take him in. No one would take him in however, seeing him only as a piano playing weakling, or an &amp;quot;oriental half-breed&amp;quot; (as his mother was half-Japanese. Gokudera remained on the streets of Italy, eventually picking up dynamite as a weapon from his old family doctor Shamal. It quickly became his weapon of choice, earning him the name &amp;quot;Smoking Bomb Hayato&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 9th boss of the Vongola family eventually took him in when he was twelve, and he remained there, ever-loyal since. Eventually making it his sacred duty to become the right hand man of the 10th Vongola boss (who is still in training).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more elaboration on his history in Canon (because it goes on forever) the wiki is &lt;a href=&quot;http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Gokudera&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Canon point:&lt;/b&gt; After he figures out how to work the systema C.A.I. At this point in the series he almost-kinda-sorta settled down enough not to pull out his dynamite on people as his way of saying &amp;ldquo;hello&amp;rdquo;, but he&amp;rsquo;s still abrasive enough to make him a special snowflake that gets on everyone nerves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you are apping a character arriving from another game:&lt;/i&gt; N/A&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Special Abilities: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Due to Ketekyo Hitman Reborns shonen-y goodness, I could probably spend more time talking about Gokudera&amp;rsquo;s abilities alone than about the mental breakdown of EVERYONE in the ENTIRE SERIES, thus I am going to omit things that he won&amp;rsquo;t have, that won&amp;rsquo;t be translated over**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Mundane abilities:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gokudera has an amazing assortment of abilities. Though Dynamite and other explosives have been a major recurring theme. And he carries the stuff everywhere. pockets, belts, straps it to his leg. In one (rather poor) translation of the introductory page in the manga they make the claim that he hides it in &amp;ldquo;miscellaneous parts of his body&amp;quot;(which begs the question, &amp;quot;Where? Like... in his butt?&amp;quot;... don&apos;t deny it, you thought it too). He has developed many different kinds of explosives when he was just 14. He&apos;s got smoke bombs, self-propelling dynamite that can change direction mid-flight, low powered, and high powered explosives. In order to light his dynamite you&apos;ll often find him smoking cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He can also punch out lions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Super-powered-teenager abilites:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there&amp;rsquo;s the whole &amp;ldquo;flames of resolution&amp;rdquo; thing that the entire series is based off of. As with most shonen series there is a generic sort of power source be it chakra, magic, reiatsu- in Katekyo Hitman Reborn it&amp;rsquo;s flames. In Hayato&amp;rsquo;s case it&amp;rsquo;s storm flames, his &amp;lsquo;element&amp;rsquo; as it were. In Reborn that translates to there&amp;rsquo;s a lot of fire and a lot of destruction coming at you relentlessly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all leads to his fantastic Sistema Cambio Arma Instantaneo. It&amp;rsquo;s, in essence, an instant armament change sytem, which provides Gokudera with shields as well as attack cartridges. Each cartridge allows him to use an aspect of the other flame elements: rain (weakens opponents attacks and defenses), thunder (purly offensive), cloud (wide spread offensice attack), and sun (randomly accelerating machine-gun like attack). For a more in-depth look at the systema C.A.I here&amp;rsquo;s the &lt;a href=&quot;http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Sistema_C.A.I.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;wiki&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course Hayato cannot channel these flames properly without the aide of his Vongola ring and boxes, which he does not have with him. For the sake of the game I&amp;rsquo;m just going to have it  and his systema C.A.I. replaced with &amp;ldquo;force protection&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;force lightening&amp;rdquo; and naturally &amp;ldquo;force storm&amp;rdquo;... all of which he will probably find a way to blow up in his face at some point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though because the force works VERY differently from flames, he&amp;rsquo;s not going to have much control over it until someone starts teaching him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sect:&lt;/b&gt; Civilian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Job:&lt;/b&gt; Well considering he&amp;rsquo;s used to living on the streets, he could probably fall back on that pretty easy, so pretty much a little crook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Samples: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Person:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; [&lt;i&gt;Hayato falls out of his be in surprise,  landing on his pad accidentaly turning it on and giving EVERYONE a show of all 119 pounds of pure man clad in nothing but his boxers. He groans sleepily as he gets up&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ....The fuck?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;He looked around. This... wasn&apos;t where he went to sleep. He looks around at the strange room&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Boss? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;Hayato notices the pad, and leans in close to examine it... and then notices that it&apos;s on. He looks down at his next-to-nude self then back at the pad...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give him a moment...&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MOTHER FUCKING SUNNUVA BITCH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;And off the feed goes&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Third Person:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hayato wandered throughout the streets, slouched over and hands in his pockets, glaring daggers at anyone who even LOOKED at him. He was on the streets again, just like back in Italy. He lets out a sigh, at least things didn&amp;rsquo;t seem too different from his world in that sense. Scum was scum regardless of where you looked... or who you looked at. As he found out while trying to interview an alien about his species.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The teen brings up a hand to his swollen cheek, grunting angrily. Not a damn thing different at all. Which also meant he was going to have to resort to his old less-then-moral ways of getting money, or at the very least food... or even better cigarettes. After all the shit he&amp;rsquo;s been through the past few days he had a craving something awful. Not like there was anything he could do about it though, it wasn&amp;rsquo;t like he kept cigs in his shorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks over at one of the stalls on the side of the street, that appeared to be selling fruit. Well, it was a good warm up, he hadn&amp;rsquo;t needed to steal his food for almost three years now. He casually walks by the stand, and without even looking at the stall keeper, slips a fruit into his pocket. Sweat coats his brow as he walks away, picking up his pace slightly. He continues walking for another couple blocks before finally slipping into an alley with his lunch. Probably didn&amp;rsquo;t need to walk that far, but better safe then sorry, he didn&amp;rsquo;t need another beating from the locals. He pulls out the bizarre fruit and looks it over... it was... kind of awesome looking. Cautiously he peels open the alien fruit and begins to examine it, looking at the seeds, smelling it, and wondering if it was really edible. Well, it didn&amp;rsquo;t smell bad, it couldn&amp;rsquo;t be worse then his sister&amp;rsquo;s cooking, right? Wrong. He takes a big bite, and instantly spits his mouthful off to the side. Shit tasted like a combination of bad milk and a mother fucking lemon! Once he&amp;rsquo;s done spitting and cussing at the foul fruit in his hands, he lets out an exasperated sigh. This was always just his fucking luck....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything Else:&lt;/b&gt; Don&amp;rsquo;t know where else to stick my blue milk and  Jolee Bindo...&lt;a name=&apos;cutid1-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

He&apos;s very, very, very small, and very, very, very skinny. Despite this he does have very good muscle tone as he is frequently active.

This also makes him a brilliant tactician. When it really counts he can lay down a plan, set up traps, and coordinate an entire battle. He is also fiercely loyal, and will under no circumstances give information about his friends and comrades, even going as far as offering to die for them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, growing up on the streets have probably taught him a few things here and there. He is street smart, and knows how to survive just fine as a crook. He is quite skilled at riding a motorcycle (it&apos;s probably not hard to believe he&apos;s probably stolen a few), and has contacts of people he knows that can dispose of a body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weapons/Items:&lt;/b&gt; Gokudera has an amazing assortment of abilities. Though Dynamite and other explosives have been a major recurring theme. And he carries the stuff everywhere. pockets, belts, straps it to his leg. In one (rather poor) translation of the introductory page in the manga the make the claim that he hides it in his body as well (which begs the question, &amp;quot;Where?

He&apos;s got smoke bombs, self propelling dynamite, self-propelling dynamite that can change direction mid-flight, low powered, and high powered explosives. In order to light his dynamite you&apos;ll often find him smoking cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there are the Vongola ring and box sets. Pretty much it&apos;s a special mafia ring, that when one has a high resolution they can focus it, lighting their ring on fire. Then they insert the ring into a box of a specific category that they have a natural affinity for(Sky, cloud, lightning, and in Gokudera&apos;s case- Storm), and the box will open revealing some sort of weapon or shield or special weapanoid animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the more surreal side he&apos;s got a very interesting set of weapons granted to him by his Vongola ring and box set. He can summon a unique sort of &lt;a href=&quot;http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad184/AsuraChad/03_Hayato_Gokudera.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ammunition launcher&lt;/a&gt; at first he only puts dynamite in it but eventually developed a system to rapidly switch out different types of ammo (but I&apos;m taking him before he does that so I don&apos;t have to explain that any more). Other then the dynamite launcher he has opened a box containing the Storm Cat, he named &lt;a href=&quot;http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt225/feelpein/uriandgoku.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Uri&lt;/a&gt;... which is Japanese for Melon. At this point in the series, Uri has no other purpose other than to pretty much make Gokudera look less manly and cause him trouble. It&apos;s power as a weapon is very limited, and often misbehaves causing Gokudera trouble.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Personality:&lt;/b&gt; Years on the streets have turned Gokudera bitter and abrasive. Understandably so. He trusts few and prefers to work alone. The few he does put his trust in however, undoubtedly have the most loyal friend imaginable. For example, when tortured for information on the 10th, he simply spits in the offenders face despite being near death and in excruciating pain.

He considers himself a &apos;mystery hunter&apos; and is utterly fascinated with the idea of talking to aliens. In fact at one point far later on in the series he goes as far as chasing a woman named Shitt P.

Although this is probably just the side effects of being a 14 year old boy rather then some bizarre personality quirk. All in all Gokudera is a good kid, albeit a bit messed up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;History:&lt;/b&gt; Gokudera was born in Italy into a very rich mafioso household, however he was an illimitable child. His mother was a pianist who his father had fallen in love with.

Later in life this causes him to become violently ill whenever he sees his sister&apos;s face.&lt;br /&gt;On his eigth birthday, things took a turn for the worse (yes, worse then his sister poisoning him) he caught wind of rumors floating around the household. He learned his piano tutors true identity, and that the theory was that his father had ordered her to be killed because she was a risk to his position in the mafia. Enraged, Gokudera ran away from home and took up life on the streets, searching for a mafia family to take him in. No one would take him in however, seeing him only as a piano playing weakling, or an &amp;quot;oriental half-breed&amp;quot; (as his mother was half-Japanese.  Gokudera remained on the streets of Italy, eventually picking up dynamite as a weapon from his old family doctor Shamal. It quickly became his weapon of choice, earning him the name &amp;quot;Smoking Bomb Hayato&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;The 9th boss of the Vongola family eventually took him in when he was twelve, and he remained there, ever-loyal since. Eventually making it his sacred duty to become the right hand man of the 10th Vongola boss (who is still in training). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Roleplay Sample - Log:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Gokudera stormed through the halls hands deep in hs pockets and teeth grinding down on his cigarette crushing the filter and ultimately ruining the cigarette. But he didn&apos;t care. The Tenth was nowhere to be found. What the fuck was he supposed to do now?! It was his responsibility as the Tenth&apos;s right hand man to be by his side to protect him. But fuck no! He had to get trapped in some shit-hole filled with a whole bunch of annoying people and...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stopped dead in his tracks, he had wandered into a room with on old piano sitting idly in the center. He just stared at it, like it were an old nemesis, one beaten and past it&apos;s prime, but the twinge of fear upon seeing it remained.  He turns around to leave and wipe the thought of the piano from his mind when all of a sudden the sound of piano keys being mashed make him practically jump out of his skin. He whirled around ready to fight, until he sees the culprit. Uri. Stupid thing weaseled out of it&apos;s box again. He sighed and shook his head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Oi, Uri, get off of that. You&apos;ll ruin it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cat only mewed happily in response, enjoying walking alone the piano keys. Gokudera&apos;s brows nit together in aggravation. Well, he knew from experience that threats didn&apos;t work... so perhaps bribery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Y&apos;want some fish or somethin?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at this the weapon perked up happily and hopped off the piano to it&apos;s owners legs.  He picked it up unceremoniously by the middle and continued onto the kitchen. Maybe if Hayato fattened the thing up, it would fall asleep and he could put it back in the box again.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Roleplay Sample - Journal:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; [&lt;i&gt;Hayato literally falls out of his be in surprise. Growing up on the streets had always made him a light sleeper, and something suddenly just felt &apos;off&apos;. He sits up and rubs the back of his head, shit! He felt like crap. He looked down at his bandaged arm and torso... well he looked like crap too, so it probably all worked out.&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hell is going on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt; He looked around. FUCK happened to the base, and the hospital?! He takes in a deep breath and tries to pull his thoughts together and find his happy place... which just so happens to be in a box of cigarettes. Taking a deep drag he reaches for his dynamite before going to explore the area... only to find it was gone. All of it. His nicotine induced calmness is cut short at this discovery and he storms to the door kicking it clean off it&apos;s hinges&lt;i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WHO THE FUCK IS THE SHITHEAD WHO TOOK MY DYNAMITE!?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;And off he goes raging down the halls&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extra:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it possible for him to keep Uri, since it currently just FAILS as a weapon? And kind of wondering what he could do about is cigarettes.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a name=&apos;cutid1-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</description>

He&apos;s very, very, very small, and very, very, very skinny. Despite this he does have very good muscle tone as he is frequently active. His hair is a silver shade with a dark undertone in the manga version, and the style has earned him the nickname &apos;octopus head&apos;. His eyes are a shade of grey green, unless he&apos;s wearing contacts, and his eyes become a very bright shade of green. However he only wears them in combat, opting for glasses when he needs to read or do school work. He is very fond of accessories, often adorning himself with many earrings, necklaces, rings, and belts. His outfits almost always include skinny-jeans or the like, accompanied by converse shoes. His shirts are often more varied, but still give off a bit of his &apos;rebel&apos; attitude.  &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://photobucket.com/images/gokudera&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Gokudera Pictures, Images and Photos&quot; src=&quot;https://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg82/meowing_penis/Solo-Gokudera/Goku27.jpg&quot; fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abilities:&lt;/b&gt; Gokudera has an amazing assortment of abilities. Though Dynamite and other explosives have been a major recurring theme. And he carries the stuff everywhere. pockets, belts, straps it to his leg. In one (rather poor) translation of the introductory page in the manga the make the claim that he hides it in his body as well (which begs the question, &amp;quot;Where? Like... in his butt?&amp;quot;... don&apos;t deny it, you thought it too). He has developed many different kinds of explosives when he was just 14. He&apos;s got smoke bombs, self propelling dynamite, self-propelling dynamite that can change direction mid-flight, low powered, and high powered explosives. In order to light his dynamite you&apos;ll often find him smoking cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there are the Vongola ring and box sets. Pretty much it&apos;s a special mafia ring, that when one has a high resolution they can focus it, lighting their ring on fire. Then they insert the ring into a box of a specific category that they have a natural affinity for(Sky, cloud, lightning, and in Gokudera&apos;s case- Storm), and the box will open revealing some sort of weapon or shield or special weapanoid animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the more surreal side he&apos;s got a very interesting set of weapons granted to him by his Vongola ring and box set. He can summon a unique sort of &lt;a href=&quot;http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad184/AsuraChad/03_Hayato_Gokudera.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ammunition launcher&lt;/a&gt; at first he only puts dynamite in it but eventually developed a system to rapidly switch out different types of ammo (but I&apos;m taking him before he does that so I don&apos;t have to explain that any more). Other then the dynamite launcher he has opened a box containing the Storm Cat, he named &lt;a href=&quot;http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt225/feelpein/uriandgoku.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Uri&lt;/a&gt;... which is Japanese for Melon. At this point in the series, Uri has no other purpose other than to pretty much make Gokudera look less manly and cause him trouble. It&apos;s power as a weapon is very limited, and often misbehaves causing Gokudera trouble. (And I&apos;m aware he can&apos;t have Uri, this is just some background for his user name)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Personality:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Years on the streets have turned Gokudera bitter and abrasive. Understandably so. He trusts few and prefers to work alone. The few he does put his trust in however, undoubtedly have the most loyal friend imaginable. For example, when tortured for information on the 10th, he simply spits in the offenders face despite being near death and in excruciating pain. He can be brash and reckless, caring little for his own well being leading him to frequently get injured... or injure himself (he often apologizes to Tsuna by bowing repeatedly, slamming his forehead on the ground). He is by no means dumb, though. On the contrary, he is quite intelligent. He aces all his tests in school without so much as breaking a sweat. In fact, it is revealed that he has gotten so bored in school that he has invented his own language- Gokudera script or &amp;quot;G-script&amp;quot;. Obviously he frustrates his teachers who see him as a smart rebellious kid with issues with authority (which is mostly right on).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting into Gokudera&apos;s good graces is very difficult, as he actively tries to push others away with his pugnacious attitude. He can be rude, callous, easily jealous, and is always looking to start a fight, even for something as simple as bumping into him. He can also be a bit of a bully, finding great joy in giving others a hard time with how they look, or crying publicly. However he doesn&apos;t go overboard, he would never tease someone who was seriously injured or had a death in the family, he wouldn&apos;t sink that low. Of course it&apos;s no surprise that he frequently admits he hates kids (would you even WANT to leave a kid with him!?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing how he is like this most of the time, his reactions to Tsuna, the 10th Vongola, is rather comical. He becomes euphoric, smiling constantly and trying WAY TOO HARD to try to please Tsuna... which usually ends up just creating more trouble and work for Tsuna. Of course he can switch from this bizarre glee  to his aggressive state and back at the drop of a hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also on a more comical note, Gokudera has an affinity for the occult. He considers himself a &apos;mystery hunter&apos; and is utterly fascinated with the idea of talking to aliens. In fact at one point far later on in the series he goes as far as chasing a woman named Shitt P. (I&apos;m serious, that&apos;s her name) classifying her as a U.M.A.- an &amp;quot;unidentified mysterious animal&amp;quot;, in hopes of asking her to use her powers to help him communicate with extra terrestrials (he gets a full-on body grope instead... though judging by his reaction he would still rather have gone for the aliens). Although this is probably just the side effects of being a 14 year old boy rather then some bizarre personality quirk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengths:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Gokudera is a surprisingly studious boy, getting amazing grades on all his school work. This also makes him a brilliant tactician. When it really counts he can lay down a plan, set up traps, and coordinate an entire battle. He is also fiercely loyal, and will under no circumstances give information about his friends and comrades, even going as far as offering to die for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Gokudera is primarily a mid-ranged combat fighter, and a mighty reckless one. When combat is brought up close he will throw caution to the wind, and often end up harming himself in the detonation of his dynamite. Also, whenever he sees his sister (if she&apos;s not covering part of her face) he gets violently ill. His short temper, moodiness, and general abrasiveness to others is also a strong hindrance, and being paired with his brashness and low self worth often gets him in a lot of trouble. Lastly, Uri, is box weapon is utterly useless unless it absorbs Sun Flames, which he cannot do without the presence of Ryohei&apos;s Box weapon. So without Ryohei, it&apos;s pretty much just a regular cat with a foul temper. (not that Gokudera knows Uri can do this yet anyway...)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;History:&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Gokudera was born in Italy into a very rich mafioso household, however he was an illimitable child. His mother was a pianist who his father had fallen in love with. However an illimitable child would have been unacceptable in such a household, and Gokudera was brought up with the assumption he was legitimate. His mother was allowed to see him three times a year, but not allowed to tell her who she was. She was introduced to him as a piano teacher,  until he was three and his mother had driven off a cliff, it being written off as a suicide.  Still, even at a young age he  showed an immense talent with the piano. In fact he gave concerts and was very well renowned. The bad news is that this had something to do with his half-sister Bianci. On his first recital she baked him a batch of cookies, however she accidentally poisoned him. Being so ill caused him to play awkwardly, however it was praised as unique and modern. Thus their father ordered Bianci to make the cookies for Gokudera before every performance, starting a trend where Bianci would use Gokudera to test her poisoned recipes. Later in life this causes him to become violently ill whenever he sees his sister&apos;s face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On his eigth birthday, things took a turn for the worse (yes, worse then his sister poisoning him) he caught wind of rumors floating around the household. He learned his piano tutors true identity, and that the theory was that his father had ordered her to be killed because she was a risk to his position in the mafia. Enraged, Gokudera ran away from home and took up life on the streets, searching for a mafia family to take him in. No one would take him in however, seeing him only as a piano playing weakling, or an &amp;quot;oriental half-breed&amp;quot; (as his mother was half-Japanese.  Gokudera remained on the streets of Italy, eventually picking up dynamite as a weapon from his old family doctor Shamal. It quickly became his weapon of choice, earning him the name &amp;quot;Smoking Bomb Hayato&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 9th boss of the Vongola family eventually took him in when he was twelve, and he remained there, ever-loyal since.

Last he remembered he was in the hospital and his sister came to visit...and he passed out, but now it looked like he was in his apartment. When the hell did he end up there?!

He takes out his packet of cigarettes and examines them, giving them a little sniff. They seemed fine... Bianci wasn&apos;t nearby... so he couldn&apos;t be hallucinating from anything of hers... so that meant... holy crap a giant bunny-chick just walked by! What was she?! An alien?! A demon?! Some sort of scientific experiment?! Oh this was freakin&apos; awesome! His eyes practically sparkled at the very ideas whirling around his head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the self proclaimed mystery hunter ran on after her, forgetting his anger for the time being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Hayato_Gokudera&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; link1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Uri&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;link 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Notes:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just wondering if he can keep Uri, since I personally see it as a weapon rather than a summons, and he can put her away at any time.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonus:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because apparently I have a thing for playing assholes.&lt;a name=&apos;cutid2-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name=&apos;cutid2-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>
