[center]"Any good day I have is one where I'm still breathing at the end of it all. I've been around the Mafia World since about... 6 years ago now. I've had my ups, my downs, and I've been shot at more times than I can count. But the most important thing I've done is I learned from those screwups. Each failure's a lesson for later. Ah, my old man would probably be proud or angry at me if he were around."[/center]

Although he seems calm, kind and generous at first glance, take care not to pick a fight with him, because his mindset quickly dispenses with the kindness and takes upon the mindset of a focused, calm combatant. Where others would fall prey to provocation, he would not, choosing to fight on his own terms, and not play into those of his opponent's.

Formerly a world-wandering mercenary turned hitman for the Mafia, Crobalt has seen a lot of conflict over the last decade, and has been seasoned in various conflicts worldwide, earning his fair share of scars and experience along the way. Despite the fact that he basically kills people for a living, he retains a gentle mindset when not on a job.

Though he doesn't know much about how a Mafia family is run (And frankly, it's not something he's thought about having to learn), he's developed the sort of mentality to offer one hand, but keep a pistol in the other as a "just in case". Some might call it excessive to be so suspicious, but when some people are likely to stab you the second you turn your back, no caution is too much. Just ask the corpses of past clients in a ditch somewhere because they thought they could outsmart him.

Though he is still young compared to more seasoned members of the Mafia, he is wiser than his age would suggest. Any failures he makes, he makes a point to learn from them later, and he's always looking to improve his skills. Self improvement could take any number of forms, afterall. And even if he can't immediately spot these differences, he's not prideful enough to not ask for pointers.

He does tend to take on advisory roles on occasion, the individuals he provides it to benefitting from his experience on and off the battlefield. He's quite content with his current "On again, off again" habit of going between hitman and advisor, since it keeps him on his toes. Course, nothing ever stays the same for long as far as the Mafia are concerned...

[b]Cool-headed[/b] - Able to maintain a calm outlook in almost any situation. You'd have to really go out of your way to tick him off

[b]Analytical[/b] - Capable of observing targets and deducing weaknesses, then exploiting said weaknesses with surgical precision. 

[b]Experienced[/b] - Has survived a few close scrapes in the past and came out wiser for it; Is willing to share his experience with others to help them avoid those same pitfalls.

[b]Seasoned Marksman[/b] Though he probably doesn't hold a candle to the Arcobaleno Reborn in terms of his sharpshooting skills, he's still a good shot in his own right. If it shoots bullets, he can use it with precision.

[b]Swordsman[/b] Although a bit irregular for a storm user, he took up swordplay as a contingency plan for close range battlefields where firearms would be unable to be aimed in time.

[b]Sniper Rifle[/b] - Often carried on his back into battle, unless out among civilians, in which case he leaves it behind.

[b]Double-edged 1-handed Sword[/b] - Concealed beneath his coat, on his left hip, always on hand. Simple, but effective.
