Operator:
Name: Hal Belfast
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Hal's appearance is still remarkably similar to his appearance 7 years ago: his brown hair is still typically messy and uncombed, and his skin is still the same light tan as before. His eyes, though sharper now than at his young age, still have the same cheerful look to them and the same pale blue color. The most notable difference in his face, though, is the lack of the huge corrective dental device that used to inhabit it: now, Hal has a stunningly impressive smile and a face that has contributed to his image as a posterboy for the company. A bit surprisingly, his wardrobe is much the same as well. He still wears a red tie a bit too large for him and an untucked white dress shirt, though this one is tailor made and actually fits him, along with khaki pants that fit well thanks to a belt he now wears, but are still anything but tight. In addition, he wears more expensive looking red and white sneakers.
When required to dress up (as his job sometimes requires), he typically wears an overly flamboyant white suit with a black undershirt. He also typically wears white gloves and dark, shined shoes, mostly for appearance. His combed over hair gives him a much different look.
Personality: When he was 15, Hal experienced the lost of his only major parental figure, his grandfather. In his grandfather's will, Hal inherited his company and nearly all of his assets. This is how he became the head of Belfast Avatars. Despite the complaints of company executives, Hal was determined that he was the only one capable of running the show and decided to do it himelf. Thus, he discarded his Netbattling life and studied for three years non-stop, learning how to run the corporation. At the age of 18, he has rejoined the Netbattling scene for his own purposes, as well as to promote his company's image.
Hal's personality seems very much the same as it was seven years as well: rather than being an 11 year old too mature for his age, he is now an 18 year old too young for his age. Though he is constantly forced to answer his work phone and attened much-despised conferences and meetings, outside of the office Hal is still as optimistic and cheerful as ever. He has become much more confident speaking with women, though, and he is a bit less naive than he used to be. He can still be uncharacteristically dense, though, and still emphatically sticks to all of his beliefs. He is also a huge fanboy of the same cartoons and games he enjoyed as a kid, and concerning Netbattling in general.
PET Modifications: As one of the major sources of advertising for Belfast Avatars, Hal's PET uses all of their fanciest updates in technology, mostly concerning comfortable gribs and durable frames. Other than that, he actually has his modified to use the old wire link, which he never grew out of. It's a very polished PET with Belfast Avatars in red cursive on the front, the company logo.
