[CHAR] Akame Ga Kill - A New Salvation

[vancexentan]

Name: Natsuo Phoenix
Nickname/Alias: Silver Blade
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Appearance:


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:

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.

Solanne

~Solanne Luxone~

---

---

Name: Solara Luxone
Age: 27
Alias: Crimson Hound

Personality: Bright, chipper, and just overall optimistic, if one were to call Solanne a tomboy, she’d jokingly pound them on the shoulder before saying that they weren’t doing her enough justice. Yeah, she’s one of those girls. To be fair though, her laid-back and happy persona is normally a fresh relief to all the other events going on. It usually takes something truly horrendous or traumatic to dampen Solanne burning spirit and joking nature. Did we mention the laid-back attitude? Yes? Good, then now you know that it also takes something incredibly dire for Solanne to be taken seriously.

Despite her initial cheery front though, she does admit that her life has been crappy so far with all the politics within the world. Only the most observant and perceptive can see through her idiotic grin. Because of her own past, Solanne is dead set determined to create a future where everyone can smile freely. As such, she is usually one to put everyone, friends and allies alike, above her own well-being, sometimes ranging to levels of naivety. She is fiercely loyal to those she wants to protect and will do just about anything for them.

Just don’t screw around with her trust. Unless you want a few teeth shaved off.

Background: Ironically enough, most people tend to think of the “Crimson Hound” as some sort of deranged killer bent on ending all life. People usually don’t think that maybe she earned the nick-name due to her unyielding loyalty? Oh well. That gets Solanne every time. Hailing from a distant nation from the west, Solara lost both her parents to bandits at a fairly early age and spent the remainder of her childhood being raised as an orphan.

Most children would have caved into depression at that age, but Solanne took her parent’s teachings by heart and desired to help out all that she could. Soon, she was everyone’s “big sister” at the orphanage before finally becoming old enough to wield a blade while also providing a steady income for the orphanage via bounty hunting or thievery. She still visits the orphanage from time to time, despite her many travels. However, danger was always near, and Solanne soon found a new reason to fight when going out to create her own journey.

Recently however, news of a group rivaling that of the infamous Night Raid caught the Crimson Hound’s attention. Certain events followed that led to Solanne becoming a member of the equally enigmatic and powerful Salvation. Wanting to put her thieving skills and reputation as a bounty hunter to good use, she eventually caught the eye of Salvation's leader, Xerxes. That was some time ago and now as a senior member of the group of assassins, the prospect of a free world seems ever closer more than ever.

Combat Speciality: Close to mid-range combat, brawling.

Skills:

- Reasonable knowledge of the world’s history
- Adept at sword combat
- Ability to summon a large, hound-like familiar through the usage of her Imperial Arm

Imperial Arms: A sword by the name of Duster. Its blade is composed entirely of hardened and purified flame and ash, sharpened to cut through a good majority of things. Solanne’s default weapon, it is also able to channel and release her fire magic to deadly proportions. Apart from generating and manipulating flames, from the tiniest ember to the most violent firestorm, Solanne can also use her Imperial Arm to collect all moisture in the area and convert it into kinetic energy, thus producing more powerful flames.

Furthermore, it leaves the targeted area weakened and fatigued, causing all the effects of liquid-deprivation. That being said, rendering all of the moisture in the air is a deadly technique that is only be used as a last resort given that it affects the user just as much as the intended targets.

Armor: Metal boots along with a scorched gauntlet to assist in channeling her flames.

Apophis

Apophis

Name:

Apophis

Nickname/Alias:

Snake of Paradise

Gender:

Female

Age:

26

Personality:

Creepy, is perhaps the first word to come to one's mind, when they think about Apophis and, actually, that's not a bad way to describe her.

Usually, Apophis keeps to herself, doing whatever is it that pleases her at the time. When she interacts with someone else, generally it's through ominous sounding phrases and meaningful glances.

Yet, there's something alluring, almost... erotic, about Apophis. Perhaps, it's her perky goth looks, her penetrating stare, or the way that she moves around (with that habit of licking her fingers the whole time), or perhaps, it's all of these things together that give Apophis the aura of ophidian danger and sexiness that she's better know by.

History/Bio:

The history of the being known as Apophis is shrouded in mystery. Pretty much nothing is known of her early childhood, considering that even Apophis can't remember said period.

Apophis' first real memory and the first known official register about her, is of waking up, dressed in hags, on a test facility covered from head to toes in the blood and gore of several corpses that were scattered around her. Furthermore, her right eye was missing and on its place laid the cursed relic that would give Apophis her name and infamous powers, the Eye of the Serpent Lord.

Without knowing who she was, who those people were and what their objective was, Apophis was left to roam the land, clinging to the only thing that she still had, her life. And she did so, with lethal consequences to those who threatened to take it from her, until she came across an attack party belonging to Salvation that, instead of trying to kill her for her unspeakable powers, took her in and offered the empty girl the chance to do something more of her life other than survive.

Apophis ended taking the chance and joined the group from that day forward, under the condition that they would try to find more about her origins and who was responsible for giving her that cursed eye.

•••

Weapons/Items:

Apophis' only noteworthy possession is a silver cross pendant that she had with her when she woke up on the facility. It has some initials engraved on it, but Apophis could never find out what it means.

Armor:

None.

Imperial Arms:

Eye of the Serpent Lord: This fake eye has a snake-like pupil and might look creepy, though normal at first sight. For the owners to have any benefits from its power, they have to sacrifice one of their own eyes. However, with great sacrifice comes great power, in form of a host of minor gifts that can be summed up in the phrase "The user becomes a human serpent".

Aside boosting the user's strength and toughness to the point were they are able to resist otherwise lethal wounds and rip their foe to shreds with their bare hands using the strength of the great constrictor snakes, the Eye also:

- Enhances the user's senses, including infrared vision;
- Gives the user an hypnotic gaze;
- Makes the user immune all but the most vicious poisons and toxins.

However, for all of it's seemingly great powers, the Eye also has a huge disadvantage, all of the user's bodily fluids become a powerful neurotoxin, capable of killing even the mightiest warriors with a small dose.

[Shadowman215]

Name: Klyde Jensen

Alias: The Undying

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Personality:

Shattered is one good word to explain Klyde’s persona, The original man one could’ve met had in all essence died. The man left behind had nothing to lose, and no one to forgive. When one does find a way to get him to speak more than a few words at a time it should be taken as a unique occurrence, or a bad day for the one receiving his words. However. do not mistake this for being a hateful person, Klyde seems rather dark, but he does have a kind heart.

Klyde before:


Klyde After:


History/Bio: Klyde was honestly your average boy, born in an average family, in an average life in the capitol. His father was a smith, and his mother was a tailor, they made a fair living in the Capitol, when he came of age, he went straight to the military and signed up. He joined at 18 and quickly got to training with the rest of his unit. He excelled with bastard swords and two handed swords. Though it was clear, he had plenty of raw strength and talent to be honed into a great soldier. So his unit’s commander, after two Years of Klyde training, fighting and rising through the ranks of the unit, was placed under the commander’s personal tutelage, slowly shaping Klyde into a lethal swordsman, able to swing the largest of greatswords with hardly an effort. As time went on the two became a feared duo on the battlefield, slaying the Empire’s foes without fear.

Though nothing good lasts forever, as the saying goes. As the two grew more fearsome, some in the higher ranks feared them, and the risks they presented to the fat, rich and cowardly noblemen that helped line their pockets. So they sent them on a new ission, out in the middle of nowhere, and there they saw her...Esdeath in the flesh, was sent to kill the pair. They simply stared at her at first, unsure of why someone like her was here, that is, until she tried to kill them.

The fight ensued for as long as the duo could fight it, though she easily was able to whittle down and injure Klyde, and slowly, painfully kill his commander before him. This lit a burning ,searing rage accompanied by bloodlust, giving Klyde the strength to rise, badly wounded, and full of hate. With his damaged body and wheezing breaths to suck in air, he seemed almost dead. This made her...Smile at Klyde, in short complimenting his will, insulting his commander, and having the rest of his unit executed.

As his commander laid dying, Klyde was asked to take his Imperial Arms, and avenge the true worth of the Empire with it. The good that still remained, lived within Klyde, were the words that he parted from this life with. These are the words that motivate him to this day.

For a couple years he was a roving swordsman, killing bandits and those who harm the innocent wherever they may hide. No matter the number, he is their destruction, their undoing. To them, he was called The Undying, for no matter who he faced, nothing could kill the man so far.

Though, he did meet someone who piqued his curiosity, they didn't fight, but they spoke of a way to get his revenge, a group called Salvation. If this group helped him obtain his revenge on that harlot. He would do it, so he joined salvation and grew in strength and skill. He now had a goal, and ways to reach it.

Weapons: The greatsword he had eventually made himself over the years of service, whilst on leave, and his Commander’s Imperial Arms.

Imperial Arms: The Culling, a greatsword that gets deadlier and hits harder the longer you are in combat, at the cost of one's stamina.

Armor: Full-layered plate designed to allow freedom of movement and good protection, custom made for Klyde after the incident, also has his original military armor stashed somewhere safe.

Skills

Able to wield two greatswords in battle, and still move rather well.

Specialized in close to mid-range combat.

Is extremely resilient in combat, hard to stagger, and hard to stop.

Is capable of out dueling some of the strongest warriors with his homemade fighting style, which blends heavy overhead swings with other momentum building attacks. This style aims to make Klyde's offensive hard to stop, if not impossible. Where others are fast, Klyde is brutal.

Other Talents:
Is a decent smith, so most weapons and armor can be repaired with the right materials.
Has a knack for spotting an enemy's weak spot in a fight.
