Name: Natsuo Phoenix Nickname/Alias: Silver Blade Gender: Male Age: 22 Appearance: [img]http://24.media.tumblr.com/6475b2c565fbb438eaa60831bbed947d/tumblr_mrh3eeCxcH1sfwmq0o1_500.jpg[/img] Personality: Though usually peace and calm are natural comments about Natsuo's personality it is merely something that scratches the surface of his personality. Natsuo is in earnest a unstable person who enjoys fighting and killing people. Not for sport but for the thrill of besting an opponent that others wouldn't ever dream of opposing. He almost sociopathic in his tendencies in a fight but also knows when it is best simply to kill an opponent. Though he doesn't like torturing his opponents he does enjoy messing around with people who aren't nearly on the same level as he is himself. He can be deceitful and a deviant liar whenever he fancies and has been called a habitual liar by some though he merely sees it as bending the truth. In spite of this intense need for violence in his life Natsuo has a side to him that does enjoy talking and getting to know people on a deeper level. He enjoys spending time with others and naturally enjoys comedic situations. He fancies himself a master of sarcasm and is always the first one to try and get out a remark at someone's expense. He enjoys swimming and reading just as he enjoys practicing his swordsmanship. He loves dogs and other furry creatures to the extent where he wishes that he could own one but knows he couldn't properly take care of one if he did. However it seems from his troubled history that Natsuo has a deep and well rooted distrust of people despite knowing them for extended periods of time. He refuses to comment why or change his ways and he will make it clear to people while they may be his friends or even allies they will never truly earn his trust. Trust and love itself have become a distorted emotion for Natsuo that he hardly feels anymore and refuses to try to understand it. He views women and relationships the same way a person would if they a shut in: a way to get out of loneliness. Though he doesn't view women as naturally inferior to men he does view with with some distrust more so than males. Though he does not especially care for any material or financial reward he does like them and hardly refuses what he believes to be a fair reward that he believes won't comeback to haunt him. He has a deep dislike for drugs and alcohol and refuses to touch the stuff in general unless it comes in the form of medicine and even then he complains. History/Bio: [hider=Hidden History of Natsuo] Born in a fairly wealthy province in the center of the empire young Natsuo was the son of a minor noble and his mother was a born warrior. His father intended for Natsuo to be his heir as his older brother had been wounded badly in war. His mother on the other hand wanted someone to pass her knowledge down too and viewed her first born with some distaste after he came back crippled in the war. She wanted Natsuo to be the pride of her life and she intended for him to be like that one way or another. Natsuo himself was a rather bright eyed child and was often walked around the village as a small child by his uncle Rin in an effort to show him the life outside of the castle however that would ultimately end up backfiring as Natsuo, despite his uncle's efforts, witnessed some unsavory events outside of the estate and would ultimately become worse for it. His father however would have him take courses on various political and economical subjects as well as acting/performing tutors in order to properly mold him into a great politician. His mother however wouldn't allow him to take certain classes occasionally and often took him out at night in order to train him in the gardens in her own sword techniques. Her close friend Sanji would often also help out teaching him some of his own prized hand to hand and close combat styled fighting methods. While he liked his acting classes, Natsuo would often despise the political aspects of the others and would spend time with his mother more which greatly frustrated his father. On a trip to The Capital he would meet and talk with a interesting individual who would befriend Natsuo and his father and come home with them. This man forged a weapon and mask made especially for Natsuo himself. Who this man was Natsuo was never told though the man was clearly powerful and strong and even his mother respected him. This man was brought here for security purposes according to his father and Natsuo would learn to idolize this man. During his teenage years things would become more complicated as his older brother started to become more discontent with his current situation and he started to take out his frustrations on his younger brother however their mother put a stop to it quickly. His father however was seriously considering putting Natsuo's brother in charge instead due to the boy's odd tendencies and life choices so far in life. One fateful night Natsuo snuck out of his home and went off to meet a stranger in the middle of town whom he had saw earlier that day training in the woods when he and his mother went out earlier. Intending to see what type of moves the man had been practicing. However on the way there Natsuo ran into and had to fight off a group of thugs which he quickly dispatched only to find out his brother was plotting against him. His uncle Rin showed up not long after and introduced Natsuo to the individual whom he had found out was a member of Salvation named Nako Homura. Nako stated that she was to take Natsuo away to train and become a part of a movement to take over the empire. Natsuo was confused at first but Rin told him that his father did this as he was a part of the movement and intended to use Salvation as a way to keep his heir safe from his treasonous older brother until the time was right. His mother didn't know however Rin said he'd explain it to her later. Natsuo agreed though hestitantly and left with Nako. Though he didn't train with Nako often, more often training with other members of Salvation, he quickly became infamous in the group for his talents and was given the nickname Silverblade after his beautifully made Katana.
