Personality

Old Fanon

Like other Striders before him, Hien shows a strong determined personality, being undeterred in achieving his goals. Although a very talented and skilled Strider, Hien showed signs of an inferiority complex when compared to Hiryu. He grew jealous of his friend's achievements as the youngest member to ever reach Special-A Class and the praise that came to it. These emotions were exhacerbated by a perception that he could never keep up with him in ability, feeling he could not catch up and reach his level no matter what he did. Hien shows complete and total devotion to Grandmaster Meio.

While still considering him a comrade, however, Hien will not hesitate in fighting Hiryu with all his strength when the time comes. When the Grandmaster Meio was destroyed.

Abilities

As a Special-A Strider, Hien is among the strongest Striders on the group, and is likely close to be equal to Hiryu in ability. He possess similar agility and can perform most of Hiryu's acrobatic feats such as somersaults, cartwheels and sliding kicks, as well as use a Climb Sickle to move through any surface. But in where he differs greatly from Hiryu is in his weapon and style: Hien wields dual Geometrical Cyphers, an unique set of Cyphers which can be joined by the hilt and thrown like a boomerang to attack from long range. His mastery of the weapon allows him to join the cyphers in different forms, creating a wide variety of offensive and defensive techniques both for close and far combat. They are also seemingly stronger than Hiryu's Cypher, doing twice more damage to enemies.

When thrown, Hien's Geometrical Cypher homes-in and strikes at the closest enemy. Whether it hits or not, the Cypher will fly off-screen and then return to Hien, hitting anyone standing on its path. While stronger than Hiryu's attack, only two can be thrown at a time (three when powered-up), leaving him vulnerable until they return to him. As a playable character, Hien can use all of Hiryu's physical attacks, but lacks the ability to use Boost mode.
