Editing NECESSARY EVIL in Freedom City SPOILER PAGE (section)

===Hiroshima Shadow=== 

On Anti-Earth, the Second World War ended with Japan’s surrender, engineered by the expediment of dropping a nuclear bomb on Nagasaki. Surrender came only hours later, but the forces in control of this brutish version of America did not find this sufficient, and so they dropped a second bomb on Hiroshima, not just to further cow the Japanese spirit, but more importantly to prove to the rest of the watching world that the first bomb was not a fluke, that this could happen again, to *anyone.* 

The people of Japan in the modern day are ghosts of the people they once were, most shuffling through their lives, veritable second-class citizens in their own nation (administrated by China, as part of an ‘arrangement’ made between the Allies, who had no interest in directly administering a place so far from their own interests, when they urgently wanted to focus on annexing Europe). 

Growing up in this world, the young man who is know known only as Hiroshima Shadow watched his father snap under a disciplinary review, and, as they say in Asia, ‘ran amok,’ pushing over a Chinese policeman, seizing his weapon and shooting randomly until he was brought down in a hail of gunfire. After months of intense questioning by Chinese authorities, the eight year old boy was finally allowed to go free, only to find that his mother remained imprisoned, and his home had been allotted to new people, who had no room for a stray boy off the streets, who claimed that he had lived there only that spring. 

The boy ended up wandering into the no man’s land of Hiroshima, fenced off haphazardly (but not guarded, since the Chinese knew it only as a place where ‘undesirables’ could go and never be seen again, presumably killed by the toxic levels of radiation and pollution remaining in the never-cleaned area). 

None know what happened next, but years later, the boy returned, as the energy being that calls itself Hiroshima Shadow. Unlike his father, he has not ‘run amok.’ He knows that no amount of random destruction, no amount of flailing about and killing Chinese occupiers will matter in the long run. The source of poison that has broken the spirits of his people is in America, where the weapons came from, and his goal is nothing less than the destruction of the American nuclear arsenal! 

His first attempt at this, a direct approach, barely more sophisticated than his fathers futile last act, led to a stinging defeat at the hands of the Tyranny Syndicate, and he only barely escaped alive, a fact that would surely not have occurred if the Syndicate had realized how hard he was to kill. He was saved and nursed back to health by members of the Order, and now recognizes that allies in this battle are a necessity, that a suicide mission will accomplish nothing for his people.
