So Hajime in this incarnation is an Airtouched Changeling, a wind elemental. Thanks to the way time flows in Faerie, he's not sure how long he's been gone. Only a few years passed in this world, but for him, it feels like he spent thousands of years as part of some Fae's storm system. He's spent so long being a literal force of nature that he has largely forgotten how to be a human; he's having to relearn things like emotion and manners. While he was a bit gruff and stoic before he was taken, that's only intensified during his time in Faerie. Thanks to his best friend there, a lightning elemental, he was able to escape--but his self-sacrificing friend wasn't so lucky. Hajime's not sure if his friend is dead or not, but he knows he'd love to see the guy again if possible--and he keeps toying with the idea of trying to go back to pull off some kind of rescue.
He doesn't have many memories of the human life he was stolen from, save for a few strong ones of being protective of a younger sister. He's not sure, but he thinks he may have been dragged to Faerie in trying to stop them from taking her. (He'd be rather on point with that guess.) He's identified his Fetch as a goofy, irresponsible takoyaki seller who runs a food cart, and he wants nothing more than to kill this creature and take his life back. The only thing stopping him is that the Fetch is so goofy and agreeable that he thinks he'd be identified as the fraud...and he wonders if the people who once cared about him might now prefer the Fetch's company. Besides, the Fetch knows more about being a human than he does at this point. He has no way of knowing that the little sister he left behind has known right from the start that this, for whatever reason, is not really her brother.
Though he swears he's not much of a joiner, he kept finding himself pulled into the Summer Court's business. He ended up joining the court and has risen quickly in its ranks thanks to the Court's ritual focus on competition and Hajime's own prowess where physical competitions are concerned. Being overly combative and too competitive for his own good serve him well here, and it's not much of a mystery to anyone why Hajime kept falling back into Court business no matter how hard he tried to avoid getting involved in anything. Fate has its reasons for pulling him back into the courtly life. He keeps getting told that he cannot fight fate and win, but he doesn't believe that. His lightning elemental friend liked to insist that fate could be fought, and Hajime always did like a good fight.
He likes to go by the alias of Chalice; in some of the circles where the Summer Court needs to show a little muscle, he knows using one's real name isn't safe. He has ID cards and things naming him as one Ryo Mikami, since his Fetch is currently using his real name.
He's gone out and had a few adventures in the Hedge here and there, and his most recent journey ended in his accidentally having some giant hobgoblin insect-thing follow him home like a little lost puppy. He has tried to discourage the hobgoblin, but so far, nothing has worked.
