This is an writing experiment. The purpose of this is to take a story and change the MC and figure out what happens. This current project will take place in the Vandread story, specifically the Animated version.
The main character's name is Hibiki. He's a short fellow with a training in mechanical engineering. In the canon story line, he's a rather brash boy, but his intentions are honest and eventually noble. However, is this really enough? Is it really the right guy for the story?
But who he is will not be the focus of the first choice. The first question is:
What is Hibiki?

What is Hibiki?
- Human. A normal human sent into space. Hearty and industrious, and occasionally witty and cunning. A species that evolved to do just about anything with enough focus. This Hibiki is the base one from the Anime.
- Saijen. Not exactly a Saijen like Goku or Vegeta; no planet smashing bicep flinches, no power level over 9000. But a Saijen is a person that loves fighting and conflict. Not so much for the violence in itself, but in the glory of overcoming a trial by arms or finding the epiphany despite defeat. This version of Hibiki will be very action oriented and will consider initiating friendly fights frequently, but may also refuse to flee from overwhelming odds.
- Mad Scientist. Not necessarily bent on world (galactic) domination, but a character searching for bits of knowledge for his "Greatest Creation Yet!" This Hibiki will love getting his hands on books or pumping egg heads for knowledge, and then running off to put the new theories to the test.
- Demon. This Hibiki will be armed with a charming smile, a sharp wit and a desire for interesting social interactions. Possibly subconsciously. The voice, sight and touch of another being will be the greatest source of fulfillment for this Hibiki (even if he refuses to acknowledge it).
- Devil. The most dangerous kind of person is the one that is detached from their empathy. A Devil is an intelligent creature capable of analyzing people and situation without emotions getting in the way, making them incredibly cunning. However, they are extremely shrewd and direct, seeing the most efficient manner to perform any action, regardless of the cost to those around them.
- Channeler. All around us, the spirits are there, trying to tell us things. But we can't here them. But as a Channeler, Hibiki can hear them, even though they're very cryptic in their messages. Eventually, the hidden meaning can be found, and it usually means someone needs help with something.
