Hamilton

Template:Infobox character "Boy, am I glad to see someone else here." - Hamilton's introduction in Power Master 1: A Strange Journey

Hamilton (also called "Hammy" and pronounced "Ham-ul-ton") is a major character in the Power Master series. He is a strong-willed, kind-hearted male who is afraid of heights. He first appears as a major character in Power Master 1: A Strange Journey.

Biography

Depending on the story, Hamilton's life changes slightly. In Power Master 1, Hamilton lives alone in the town of Uora, though he is friends with the town Guardian. His past in PM1 is unknown.

In Power Master 1R: A Stranger Journey, he lives with his younger sister, Alice. Before the events of the game, their parents, Lacey and Colton, were in a reactor explosion at the McFadden Reactor in Shadurn. Since that point eight years ago, Hamilton and Alice have been on their own. Lacey returns later in the story, but Colton did not make it out of the reactor in time.

Power Master 1: A Strange Journey

In Power Master 1, Hamilton is eighteen years old. Hamilton is first met in Uora Underground, stuck on a ledge and is unable to get down. To get to him, the player must blow up the boulder behind him with a Bomb to create a bridge on the lower floor. Once the player gets to Hamilton, the player can choose whether or not to let him on the team. If the player declines, he is found at his house in Uora. He is found in his house again after the endgame and will ask the player if he can join again, to which the player can accept or decline.

If the player is playing as Hamilton, Stephan fills his role instead.

Character Stats

Template:Infobox Character Info Hamilton's greatest asset is his strength; he has the highest Attack power than the rest of the characters and is able to wield two weapons at a time. However, his Speed is the lowest of them all and he cannot equip any Shields, leaving him defenseless.

Hamilton's skills rely mainly on helping out the team, even if it means making the enemy focus on him. He can raise his team's Defense and Attack using Restrengthen and Berserker's Roar respectively, and he can Cover other members with low life.

The only time an enemy Hamilton is fought in PM1 is during the fight against the creator's team in the Area Unknown. To fight Alex's team, the player must find and talk to Alex in 26 different locations. Afterward, Alex will ask the player if they want to fight his team.

Development

Hamilton is named after the last name of the creator's best friend. His original design was a grey shirt and yellow shoes, but other designs have depicted him with spikes, similar to his final design. Hamilton being left-handed was due to an drawing orientation error and him being able to wield two-weapons is a remnant of a dual-weapon-wielding mechanic.
