Starlighter (Bionic Fantasy)

Hokuto "Starlighter" Hoshizora is a character in Prologus: Bionic Fantasy.

Appearance
Starlighter is an older man with short blond hair, hoop earrings, and a thin beard with a slight goatee. His attire consists of a red/blue/purple blended poncho.

Personality
Starlighter is a bit boisterous and gruff, but he is wise, and loyal enough to Gainaz to help give him, Zonan, and Crono easier passage to the Great Temple, and does his best to keep Hairo off their trail.. He is also an acquaintance of Gainaz's classmate Lancel.

In contrast to Hairo's strict demeanor and prejudice against Matoran, Starlighter is more laid back and understands that Crono is nothing like the Matoran who allegedly were conspiring to take Ankoku Nui for themselves, having noted a physical difference between Crono and those Matoran he witnessed Hairo kill. He has constantly advised Hairo to keep his captives alive at least long enough to deduce their motives first, but his wisdom has sadly fallen on deaf ears time and again.

Story

Etymology
His nickname was conceived as a more heoic sounding analogue to Luke Skywalker's originally planned last name, "Starkiller".

Hokuto means "North Star", or "Big Dipper"

Hoshizora means "Starry Sky", in reference to his more commonly used nickname.

Trivia

 * Hokuto's appearance is taken from a beta design for Auron in Final Fantasy X. GokaiWhite says this could hint at Hokuto being connected to Auron, and not just having a similar name origin.
