Drift Fleet: CR Chart
Ino Yamanaka
Naruto
"I'd be happy to help you out when you need it. Or whenever."
You're like the sister I never had. I think it's... really incredible that someone like you could put so much effort into a troublesome brat like me. But you are. So I'm gonna make it worth it.
Ino is the first person he's openly admitted to loving outside of his home world. Next to saying goodbye to Tadashi, losing Ino will be the hardest thing for him when he finally goes back to San Fransokyo. She's become so important in his life so quickly that he feels it's been years, not the short months he's been here in the fleet. He's also never been so happy to have someone date his brother.
"But I know a lot of people who have faced a situation like yours before, and they didn't have it in them to pick that third choice. They let that death become a part of them. They let it turn them into something that they never wanted to become. You know better than to let that happen. And I'm so, so proud of what you've become, despite everything."
"What happened shouldn't haunt you or make you feel like a bad person. It should guide you into knowing exactly where your morals lie, and knowing that making the choice to kill him wouldn't have solved anything. I don't think you understand how mature you are for being able to recognize that."
"I meant what I said, and I'm glad you said it."
Tadashi Hamada
Big Hero 6
Bishop Lab Support
"Rule 210: Hamada brothers don't leave each other hanging in space. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere. Understand?"
I'm making a difference in the world because of you. You're always gonna be my hero, big brother. If I can be half the guy you were, I'm doing it right.
Hiro's older brother, his hero, his guardian, and hands-down the closest person in the universe to him. He's incredibly protective of him, and he loves him more than he could ever express. Not that he has to; anyone who sees them can see how close the Hamada brothers are. Tadashi is largely responsible for his morals and his work ethic, and his death back home inspired Hiro to become the best version of himself possible. Hiro would do anything for Tadashi, especially now that he has him back in his life.
"I love you too much for anything to get in the way, twerp, even awesome sandwiches. -- see, that's embarrassing."
"Maybe you drive me a little crazy sometimes, but I wouldn't change anything about you. You get that? Nothing."
"Even when I go back, I'm gonna make a difference. I'm gonna make enough of one for both of us..."
"You're the difference I made. That's good enough for me. Remember that, okay?"
Adrasteius Anor'thalion
Original Character
Bishop Lab Support
"The Light can mend wounds, deflect harm, offer strength ... everything the philosophy suggests symbolically, it can achieve in practice, too."
"... So, it's a source of magic that comes with a set of beliefs surrounding its use. And because it's protective and empowering, that's the kind of lifestyle it promotes."
"You're a sharp kid, Hiro. Empowering is the right way to put it. Help others, help yourself, help the universe."
I'm really glad you came onto the Bishop. You're really engaging to talk to, and it's good to have some magical healing on board. Sorry I can be kind of a pain in the butt sometimes.
Adra provides a much-needed extra layer of paternal care, on top of being incredibly enriching in conversation. Hiro doesn't get to talk philosophy much, but with Adra it's something he can bring up any time. All in all he's been incredibly influential to Hiro thus far.
Belthazar Spellscry
Original Character
Bishop Cook
"I've always been alone, I don't think you want to know someone like me."
You've gotta relax, buddy. It's gonna be okay. You'll find your feet, and you'll feel better about it soon. In the meantime, we can go shopping for books together sometime. And I know you said you don't care about it, but I'm still not gonna tell everybody where your hiding places are. I think it matters.
Despite only knowing each other a short time, Belthazar has quickly risen the ranks of Hiro's friendship. He's hurt, defensive, and frustrated, and that's made him just a little bit of a challenge to Hiro. He thinks Belthazar really just needs a friend, and since they're living together, he's putting himself in that position with enthusiasm. As far as he's concerned, Belthazar has someone he can rely on outside of his world.
Over time, Belthazar and Hiro have become incredibly close. He's pretty much his best friend; the two of them have a habit of getting into trouble on their ship together, either with Hiro's inventions or Belthazar's magic experiments. They fight sometimes, but they always manage to work it out, and Hiro hopes Belthazar will stay with him for a long time yet.
"Hey... It's fine, I was a jerk, too, y'know? It happens. I forgive you if you forgive me, alright? We're still friends."
"... Do you promise?"
"Wh--of course! One little fight isn't gonna make me hate you or drop you, dude, people disagree all the time. I'm still here."
Riku
Kingdom Hearts
"Fighting's all about adapting to your enemy quick. Figure out what you're good at, and build on it. "
So the training? Pretty much amazing. There's a lot more to you than you give off. I can respect that.
Hiro has come to an understanding that Riku gets him better than he originally thought he would. There's something to all of this training they've been doing, something incredibly personal, and every session they have, Hiro feels like he's channeling another part of him he isn't proud of into something he likes about himself.
"Part of my power comes with being able to feel how people are--to sense them. It's not like I can read your mind or anything... but--you've been though a lot, haven't you? Anything that happened to you--good or bad, you can use it as your armor. Don't be afraid to use the bad things with the good, alright? Yin yang--you can't have a darkness without a light."
Sokka
Avatar: The Last Airbender
"Me? I'm always up for the challenge."
You are the definition of a groundbreaking scientist. If you didn't completely change your world back home, whether or not you remember this whole experience, I'd be shocked. I'm really pumped about getting to work with you.
Hiro loves Sokka's sense of humor and his scientific mind, and finds it very easy to be around him. They're good friends, and he can't wait to cause a ruckus with him someday soon.
Alex Russo
Wizards of Waverly Place
"Yeah. And I'd totally like to bust in on the Wizard Council and tell that to their beards, but the me back home, all she cares about is... I don't know, magazines and Branjelina? Once I go back to being her, you can say goodbye to that initiative. "
Don't let them tell you what you can and can't do. You're awesome, don't let them take that away from you.
Alex is quickly becoming more important to Hiro. They hit it off hard in their second conversation, and he already feels like he can trust her. Promising things are on the horizon for these two.
Allen Walker
D.Gray-Man
"We lost a lot of people there. Friends, Family... It's taken a toll on all of us. ...Sometimes I feel, it was hard on Ino especially. So...if they ever do decide to stop...dancing around and get together-- I'll just pray they're together a very long time."
I appreciate your concern for us, even though you kind of screw it up sometimes. You love Ino a lot, and that means I can trust you. Just watch that Crowley guy.
Allen is Ino's best friend and they've known each other for years and years now. Hiro likes him, even though he has trouble convincing himself that trusting him is okay sometimes. He and Crowley are the only ones who have ever even remotely screwed up with him so far. Despite that, he knows Allen will look out for their best interests.
Asteffiel
Original Character
".. I haven't met human... little humans. Who are not just... short humans."
"Kids?"
"Yes! Those."
I probably should have expected the guy made out of plants to be this... cute. But I didn't. Hope you like the grow lights, dude.
Hiro loves talking to Asteffiel. He's so different and interesting, and Hiro loves that about him. He's a weird plant guy! And he's adorable! And he's learning! Hiro's protective of him, and consistently wondering how he's holding up.
Axel
Kingdom Hearts
"Well I know who to call from now on if I wanna do something not entirely allowed."
You and I are gonna get into so much trouble together, aren't we? If it's all as fun as getting into the castle on Mor was, I'm on board.
Axel indulges a side of Hiro that he doesn't get to express enough; his 14-year-old-boy-doing-stupid-shit side. It's a childish sense of adventure that fuels both of them, and he can tell that he's become important to Axel. He hopes they can spend a lot more time together; he'd like to know why he inspires him to be so protective.
Beverly Crusher
Star Trek: TNG
"You sound like my son! He was made an honorary ensign on the Enterprise when he was about your age."
Hiro wants to get to know Bev better. She knows a lot of things he wants to learn about, and nothing grabs him faster than the promise of knowledge. He'll be working with her in the near future on a medical herb garden.
Cassandra Cain
DC Comics
"Don't follow strangers. You know that, right? I'm okay, because I'm good. Other people? Don't follow them."
I don't think I understand a single thing about you, and I... kind of like that. You're really different. I don't know, maybe other people would think you're just weird, but it's really... I don't even know how to describe it. You're something new. I'm not used to that... Sorry if I'm a little awkward.
Hiro has a massive crush on Cass. It's impossible for him t hide. If anyone ever catches them together, he'll be embarrassed for the rest of his life. He's absolutely enraptured by her and someone needs to put him out of his misery.
Cheese Sandwich
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Bishop Pilot
... I honestly have no idea what to do with you, but whatever. As long as you can fly the ship.
Clay Terran
Ace Attorney
"So, you like space, huh?"
"I love it! You know how being an attorney was my best friend's dream? Well, becoming an astronaut and going to space was mine! I kind of feel like this is cheating, but I still made it out here!"
Hiro is charmed by Clay's vibrancy. He can easily see them becoming close friends, if circumstance allows for it!
Finrod Felagund
Tolkienverse
Bishop Communications Officer
Hiro likes Finrod. He's got a great head on his shoulders and he doesn't mind how annoying the Hamada brothers can be. He's happy to have him be a part of their ship's crew.
Robin Redbreast
Original Character
Hiro is 2000% invested in finding out more about Robin. His world's lore is incredibly entertaining to him, but there's something so personal about it. He knows something's up.
Steven Quartz Universe
Steven UniverseHiro kind of feels like he's going to fall face-first into friendship with this kid and he's not sure how to feel about that. It's one thing if he charms someone, but with Steven, he feels like he's not going to have a choice in the matter. Friendship has never quite felt like friendly impending doom before. Hiro was right and Steven needs to be protected at all costs.
Chris Halliwell
Charmed (AU)
He can TELEPORT. Hiro's new bff.
Duke Pantarei
Tales of Vesperia
Well-meaning and helpful, so far. Hiro approves.
Riley Matthews
Girl Meets World
Bright and intelligent! Hiro likes her well enough, but they haven't clicked yet.
Tohru Adachi
Persona 4
!Stranger Danger!
Vash the Stampede
Trigun
Hiro's not getting too attached to him. He's pretty sure Ino's gonna murder him someday soon.
Anthony J. Crowley
Good Omens
Nope.
Aaron
Original Character
He seems... tense.
Honey Lemon
Big Hero 6
"Oh, believe me, I will find a way. Don't you underestimate me, the ladies of my family are indomitable."
I don't know if it's right to be happy you're here. It means you're stuck in this... but you're not alone. You have me, and you have Tadashi. We're not going anywhere.
Hiro's love for Honey Lemon knows no depths. She's part of his family, his teammate, one of the few people in his life he trusts enough to call his rock. He would do anything she asked, and relies on her heavily, especially at home. She's the ray of sunshine that keeps things positive in his life.
Krista Kingsley
Original Character[CAPTAIN] Bishop Personnel Support
"Krista, that was amazing!!"
"I'm so happy you think so, oh my god... Ugh, you're making me blush..."
You know, you're really cool when you relax. Just take a deep breath, I trust you as a leader; as our leader on the Bishop. And for the record? That fairy thing is awesome.
Krista is one of Hiro's favorite people in the Fleet. He's so happy to have such an awesome captain and friend. He's got a little harder protective streak over her than his other friends, probably because she said she was hunted back in her world, and he would sooner eat the cheese from the cheese pillow before he'd let her get hurt.
Nagito Komaeda
Dangan Ronpa 2
Hiro wants to see more of Nagito. With all of his busy scheduling going on, he's missed a lot of opportunities to converse with him recently. He likes him a lot! He thinks he could use some relaxation, though.
Stephanie Amell
Original Character[CAPTAIN] Bishop Security
"It's always a little less awful, when you know they'd be proud of what you've accomplished."
... Thanks. For everything. If you ever need it, I'll listen. We're crewmates, we have to stick together, right? And hey, now I've got someone to teach about computers, and you can teach me about the Fade and magic. We've got a lot to learn from each other.
Hiro didn't talk to Stephanie even after she shuffled onto the Bishop for quite some time, but their very first conversation, she broke through every defense he could have possibly had up and became immediate friends with him. She's the one he cried on when Tadashi showed up. She's the first one he told about the fire. She means so much to him, and her friendship runs deep with him.
Tay Barnam
Original Character
Rough around the edges, but Hiro thinks she's pretty alright.
Tim Drake
DC Comics
"I'm really glad we met, Hiro. Things are looking up already."
"Heh. Same to you, Tim. S'gonna be a lot easier with a friend."
Well, now, I would literally be dead if it weren't for you. I want to know what the people who run this place are after, and what they're hiding on the Marsiva. You're the only one I trust to find out with me. We're going to change the landscape of this place, Tim.
Tim was Hiro's very first friend in the Fleet, and the very first person he ever spoke to. They became instantly close, identifying with one another's maturity and level of intellect. Tim's got a lot of experience in codes and robotics, and outsmarts Hiro in ways he's never been outsmarted before. They have a mutual trust and understanding of each other, and Hiro considers him his best friend outside of those he deems family. It won't be long before Tim is there, too.
Varric Tethras
Dragon Age
Varric seems pretty hearty. Hiro's excited to get to know him more.
