Hokuto

Introduction

Hailing from the blasted wasteland that is r/visualnovels comes self admitted “DDLC shitter” Hokuto. Seemingly enthusiastic and erudite via typing, this illusion was soon dispelled once he opened his mouth in voice chat. His roughshod, no nonsense approach to all things in life is somewhat undermined by his inability to portray said perspectives properly due to his old, alcohol addled brain. Regarded as both a father figure to some, and an object of pity to others, he carries on his merry way somewhat oblivious but always opinionated.

Spirit of Hokuto Kinnuku Timeline

The Name Change Incident

Initially when Hokuto joined Kinniku it was under the name Lokd0wn. He claims this was a generic username he uses for all things he signs up for, but this has yet to be confirmed. Then commenced a struggle of wills, as Rinny wanted to have some semblance of verisimilitude. Realistically Hokuto was just stubborn enough, or Rinny didn't care enough (probably the latter rather than the former) that the name Spirit of Hokuto was enshrined in Kinniku history.

The Name Change Incident 2: Electric Boogaloo

After a few podcasts it had become apparent that Hokuto had a propensity to talk over others. He would put this down to “Student radio” and not wanting there to be any dead air. While his intentions may have been noble, it was still being a disruptive influence on Kinniku. And thus Rinny bestowed upon Hokuto the unenviable title of Spirit of Interruption. This was a wake up call to Hokuto who had to re-evaluate how he presented himself (i.e. using push to talk). And a self imposed penance of not talking over anyone else for three podcasts was made before he would change his name back (this took longer than three podcasts).

'''Rinny & Hokuto Lock Horns With the announcement of the Steins;Gate 0 sensation, Hokuto was apprehensive as the anime adaptation was complete ass. But Rinny assured him that the VN was much better. Over the course of the sensation Hokuto made vague claims like “not buying the narrative conceit” and “poorly thought out temporal logic”. He never actually properly backed up these claims, but they were enough to galvanise Rinny to defend the VN. At the end of the day, Hokuto conceded that Steins;Gate 0 was “OK I guess”. This greatly disappointed Ganesh, the most vehement of Steins;Gate 0 detractors.
