Bio: 	Fredrick Arwell, born on 1916 in New York City, was raised on the city streets by his mother and father who were middle class German immigrants. Fredrick grew up in the roaring twenties, and due to his frail thin structure, was picked on alot during his early and high school years. Forced to defend himself on numerous occasions, he learned to fight not with pure strength, but through his uncanny ability to be quick on his feet. 

	He realized this talent and used it to beat up thugs and become an avid dancer. Among his favorite passions were listening to jazz music and partying in the clubs. Fredrick eventually got a job as a bouncer in one of his favorite bars/dance clubs. He would often use his unitimidating stature to surprise his foes, and soon became quite a capable fighter. He was a self-proclaimed cool cat and a loner, despite being quite the looker. Fredrick was no stranger to the darker side of the Big Apple though. 	

	He was eventually approached by the mafia and hired as a part-time hitman, which he became very proficient at. Soon, Fredrick was rolling in the high life. The money, the drugs, the women, he couldn't get enough of it. He eventually became quite trusted by the mob boss and became his top dog. This lifestyle, however, would not last forever. One of the mob boss's sons decided he wanted to be the one running the show and decided to kill his old man and anyone loyal to him. Fredrick ended up fleeing the city, and as been on the hunt by both the mafia and the police to this day. 

	Now, friendless and without a home, he became a wandering freelancer, doing all sorts of oddjobs to afford to travel city to city, state to state, and country to country, a rebel without a cause. It was during his travels that he met an old man, who was a retired Keyblade warrior who fought during the first World War. The master keyblade weilder and Fredrick developed a kinship, both feeling that they have no place to belong to. Fredrick became his apprentice, and learned the basics of magic, though choosing to specilize in the fire arts. Fredrick also became chosen to weild the keyblade, and learned the basics of swordplay. The years of training was broken up when Fredrick's dark past finally caught up with him, and he was arrested. 

	It just so happened that WWII was just around the corner and Fredrick was given an ultimatum, fight for his country or spend what could be the rest of his life in prison. To Fredrick, the choice was obvious, and ever since then, he has been fighting covertly as an American agent against the Nazis. 

Age: 34

Skills: Super Agility-Fredrick is quick on his feet and can dodge practically anything slower than a bullet. 

Martial Artist: Fredrick is an expert in Kung Fu from his earlier years and a master of CQC due to his training with his Keyblade master. 

Pyrokinesis: While Fredrick knows at the very least the basic elemental spells, he has grown a fondness and a penchant for using fire based magics. He often uses this power to set objects, especially his weapons, on fire. He can also spout flames to torch a small but wide radius in front of him, and launch weaker but farther ranged fireballs.  

Weaponry: 

Titanium Playing Cards: Disgusied as ordinary playing cards tucked in Fredrick's sleeves, these lethal throwing cards have sharpened edges forged from titanium that can cut through even the strongest of metals and body armors. Fredrick likes to set these on fire to further increase armor penetration. 

Hidden knives: Fredrick always has a vast collection of concealed knives and switchblades at hand, including wrist and shoe blades, and even one tucked in his fedora. 

The Pheonix Keyblade: fc01.deviantart.net/fs11/i/2006/255/0/.. This keyblade is weak in melee compared to other keyblades, but it boosts Fredrick already considirable fire magic to staggering levels. Fredrick finds his Keyblade unweildy, and rarely utilizes it in close combat, relying on his blades and fists. He prefers using the Pheonix to augment the power and radius of his spells and expell torents of fire and death. 

Other: Fredrick always keeps a nail file in his red tie. He is also very skilled at pick-poketing and keeps bobby pins at hand. 

Personality: Outside of battle, Fredrick is very chill and laid back, prefering to sit in the sidlines than be on center stage. He is a heavy smoker, and wouldn't be caught dead without his signature red-striped Fedora with an Ace of Spades card in it. Fredrick is the sort who only uses violence as a last resort and prefers to talk it out. In the heat of combat, his movements and atitude tends towards the theatric, and he often uses these occasions to show of his dance moves, regardless of strategic advantage. He is very analytical and is slow to trust, but beneath his ambivelant demeanor is the heart of an artist and a loyal friend.
