And while he could be considered good looking it's his eyes that stand out beyond anything else. He had blue eyes, truly blue, sickeningly prince charming blue but it was darker, and when contrasted with his black hair tended to turn heads. The rest of his facial features form perfectly to his strong jaw and square-shaped bone structure. Beyond his face, his skin is a pale cream color, and while it can tan a bit if exposed to enough sunlight, having the time to just 'tan' has never been available to the young man. His arms have sparse hair but sinew can be seen even when just casually moving to show that the young man is quite wiry. Most of the time he can be found wearing a long sleeve black dress shirt underneath a black tailored sports coat. Reflective sunglasses will usually cover his eyes, and a watch rests on his right wrist. When on duty he's found in a pristine uniform, his baton rested at his left side for easy access.

He takes the rich kid stereotype seriously having been raised not only with the expectations of the British Nobility but also the Italian means that Griffin is the picture-perfect heir to a powerful family. Clean and disciplined his section of the dorm is normally pristine and everything is organized nicely in closets or dressers. His appearance is the same, wearing collared dress shirts and sports coats. He's articulate, charming, and calm when dealing with superiors, politicians, and family. He also shows himself to be a model student whenever he can. But, all of that's not the real Griffin, underneath that mask is a Cold, calculating individual who has known nothing but a drive to be perfect from his parents. Mistakes were and are punished harshly and as such Griffin is a perfectionist. He's abrupt to those he considers unequal, amoral, very purist, highly critical, a bit arrogant, devious, scheming, sly, and calculative. All in all, he's a survivor, always on the lookout for someone trying to take advantage of him or walk over him because of his age. He's never known true friendship and for that, he adapts to his surroundings. Despite all of these things going against him, Griffin does have some redeeming qualities, his Italian/British heritage giving him decent looks, his constant exercise making him rather athletic, he's adaptable to the various situation, and is quite loyal despite his rugged exterior. He's a mountain you have to climb up before seeing the good points but should someone scale that mountain Korbin could make a very good friend.[/color][/indent] [color=00BFFF][sub][b][u] C h a r a c t e r S y n o p s i s [/u][/b][/sub] [color=White][indent] [hider=The Aparo Family]The Aparo's come from a long Italian line of bankers. They headquartered in the Northern territory and became political idealists some four generations in. They have had their share of government officials but never gained much traction. The family was forced out during the first World War and moved themselves and their business to England where they were forced to start anew. Instead of returning to baking, however, the 'new' patriarch of the family named Giovanni used the wealth and prestige of their bank still in Italy and formed a new business. It was a simple thing in nature, guarding property and people but during the war, many families were left without fathers, brothers, uncles, and grandfathers. Even the woman was sent to do various tasks. That was were the Civilian Defense Company or CDEF came in. The Company would protect homes, children, and community buildings. The business boomed, and as the war ended the CDEF began shifting to private security, working with Law Enforcement to protect government officials and community leaders. Slowly the Aparo family began gaining political favor, and after protecting a Duke from an assassination attempt Giovanni was Knighted and granted lands on the Duke's property. During World War II, many of the men in the company were pressed into service and forced the CDEF to open a new company which was strictly for the private sector which also went to America and began hunting down Draft Evaders. They made a name for themselves with the brutality and efficiency with which they handled cases and rarely had collateral damage. In fact, they were so successful in America they were asked to stay even after the war to assist the FBI in hunting criminals. Now spanning two countries the Aparo name was not one unknown in the political landscape. The family grew in both power and in number and were slowly becoming 'the' Private Security name in the world. Fast forward to the moment Para-humanity was noticed and it was found that many within the primary Aparo family had an ability to 'nullify' these powers. Research was performed and the CDEF which had been renamed to Aparo Security Forces or ASF was found to be able to go toe to toe with these Para-Humans and were contracted by entire countries to help them curb the population of renegade or rebel Paras. The ASF rose from one of the best private security firms to an armed Mercenary group and Private Army which took in more and more money. In the political scheme, the Aparo family was elevated to parliament seats in Britain.[/hider] Griffin Aparo is the son of CEO, Nullifier, and Bounty Hunter Arthur Aparo and his wife Phoebe Aparo. He was born into a world that had been rocked by numerous wars with humans that had powers, humans that were shunned and ostracized by 'normal' people. But instead of fear, disgust, and shame that came with other parents that found that their child had these powers, Griffin was celebrated and paraded as the next Aparo to boast the gift. He became the heir of the Aparo name and from his second day being born was worth more than many small countries. Some would think that being born into such a family meant that he would have an easy ride, that he would be spoiled and want for nothing. Well, those people would be wrong. Griffin was thrown into 'training' the moment he turned four years old. He was sent tutors and specialists whose job it was to turn him into a deadly weapon. He was trained in martial arts, boxing, wrestling, and weapons four days out of seven. Two were spent with school work, and one was spent learning the skills he'd need to be an heir that the family needed. This routine continued for his entire pre-teen, and teenage life and while physically he became a machine that could shoot, wield martial weapons, and held four black-belts in various martial arts he was a sunken mess of inner emotions. The only human interaction he had were with strict instructors and fun was simply a word that never existed. He has known only strict structures for his entire life. Naturally, this made him a natural at following orders and when he was sixteen he was sent out into the world alongside a hit squad. The ASF separated its units into three distinct groups, Subjugation, Elimination, and Liquidation. Griffin, as someone still learning was sent as the Subjugator and was taught in a combat environment how to utilize his powers to subdue and completely nullify a hostile Parahumans abilities. After the target was Subjugated the Elimination team inserted themselves, cleared the area, and depending on if the target was wanted dead or alive would execute the required action. And then finally, the Liquidators. They were the best of the best and were sent to quite simply, eliminate a high-value target(s) through any means possible, regardless of collateral damage. They were walking executioners and many had abilities of their own, finding that they were treated better and fairer than their own communities. Griffin, however, was only getting started on his journey. After his fill of watching combat from close up, he was to be sent to the orbiting station called 'The Promise' to serve on the Security team while also continuing his schooling. It was a move to get him used to various environments and see how he would fare on his 'own' instead of the close confines of a stifling family and certain schedule. To no one but himself, he has admitted that it would be time to see just how people act and is taking it with an open mind.

This manifests in three different ways. His most common form is that of a head nod or by extending a hand. The physical act sends out an invisible force that when directed at a Meta-human will quickly drain their power using it to fuel the action. This allows Griffin to basically use a Meta-humans own power to Nullify. There are some limitations to this. The target must be in visual range for this ability to work and even then the range seems to max out at around 30 feet or half that if he's nullifying three people at once. In addition to this, he has to remain focused and if he's interrupted the nullification ends. The second manifestation of the power consists of a simple 'charged' area of effect field. It's similar to the first only that it requires either multiple Meta-humans or his own personal power. The result is a field that negates all powers of those within it. Naturally this leaves Griffin completely at the mercy of anyone defending him and he's unable to fight back, otherwise, the field will fall. In addition, if he's using his own power to perform the field he can and will pass out if he pushes the field to far. He has so far been able to push the field 15 feet and is constantly training himself to push it further. The third manifestation is physical contact. If Griffin is able to touch another Meta-human he is able to completely and totally drain their power rapidly and has been known to leave a feeling of lethargy, and the taste of metal in the mouths of victims. This manifestation is the most powerful but also requires the most risk as he must commit to getting up close and personal. Some researchers believe it's possible to continuously drain someone's power with his manifestation but no further experimentation has been done on the Aparo heir. [/COLOR] [COLOR=White][b][i]Limitation(s)[/i][/b] | Added into each power manifestation. [/COLOR] [COLOR=White][b][i]Weakness(es)[/i][/b] | For most if not all of the manifestations, Griffin must focus which means he must be protected. If he's taken by surprise he is an easy take-down. And when he's taken down he's taken down hard, as he has no powers other than his nullification. After that, he's just a regular human, albeit with some serious combat skills. His mentality is also a weakness, as he is only just now escaping the cold hand of his family and will be sure to crack as he develops his own morality. Finally, any injury he sustains can severely hamper his ability to fight someone if it came to martial combat, he is very much reliant on his power in a Meta fight but relies on his other skills if fighting a non-Meta.[/COLOR][/INDENT] [sub][b]//Skills:[/b][/sub] [INDENT][COLOR=White][b][i]Martial Arts[/i][/b] | Griffin has been trained since he was five years old in a variety of martial arts. At the current moment, he is a ninth dan in Taekwondo, a Chángquán Kung Fu master, and an E5 Krav Maga user. He incorporates other Martial Arts when needed but has found the three to be best suited for himself.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White][b][i]Weapons[/i][/b] | While hand to hand is Griffin's better fighting style, he has been trained in the usage of all firearms, knives, swords, spears, staffs, and improvisation weaponry.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White][b][i]Security Systems/Hacking[/i][/b] | While not able to do much outside of training, Griffin was able to familiarize himself with the security systems that surrounded him. He also found he had a talent for computers and spent many hours at night working on hacking skills to get a view of the outside world that his parents couldn't detect.[/COLOR] [/INDENT][/INDENT][sub][b][u] O T H E R [/u][/b][/sub] [color=White][indent]None![/INDENT][/COLOR][/color] [hr] [/hider] [/quote] Accepted milord Feel free to toss em in the CS at your leisure.
