"I am the Emerald Blade that will bleed Britannia dry and make a reborn world!"

Name: Jack Blake 'Azai'
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Social Status: Four (Area Four/Ireland)/Eleven

Appearance: Jack is a tall man of around 6'0 and weighing in just under 170 pounds. Fit and tough as a nail Jack is in great physical condition due to his tough training sessions he imposes on himself. He has golden hair and dark green eyes. He usually wears a grey jacket or trench coat when out in public and underneath that a tattered black shirt and white pants. Sometimes he wears a old fashioned cap on his head but he usually leaves it at home.
Personality: 

Fanatical, determined, and driven to do great things Jack is at home on the battlefield and in tough situations. He believes in freedom is the right of all peoples despite ideologies and or race. He despises Britannia's conquests and feels the need to get rid of the Empire if not at least free as many nations as possible. He is not one to be swayed easily by words and is a fierce opponent on any stage. Though he is willing to admit he is not the very best he still is very adamant in his abilities and is proud of them though he is not foolish enough to boast about them. 

Though he is a fervent believer in his cause to overthrow Britannia he is also a harsh realist and dislikes people who overestimate their chances or are flat out blissfully cheerful. Life is not a party and the harsh world and you need to think about the big picture before you can definitively believe in something.

He utterly despises people who are racist no matter if they are Japanese, Britannian, or anyone else for that matter. He believes the mere act of thinking people are sub-human or trash is disgusting. Even the most oppressive people in the world are still human in the inside and people should be judged not on their skin, or race but one's actions. He is more than willing to put behind someone's past actions if they are willing to do something here and now unless they've been a part of something unexcusable to him in which case he flat out rejects them. In his opinion actions are more definitive than words ever can be. 

Though he has no official family anymore he deep down just wants someone he can settle down with and have a family with. The need to have someone or something to say 'this person is my family' is something he deeply wants to say. Moving from place to place has left him with a desire for just the most primal thing a person could want.

Born in Ireland to the Head of the future head Irish Republican Army which was reformed after Britannia took over the whole of western Europe his family was well known in Ireland as wealthy land owners and politicians. Though he hardly knew his family he remembers growing up with his older Brother Scott and his cousin Vivienne in the large swath of land overlooking a secluded beach in Ireland. When he was young he used to stay with his mother in the house and listen to his father on TV and while it bored the young lad he was happy to know his father stood up for the best things in life. 

Scott and Vivienne were two of his best friends and he idealized them in his mind as the best people around. While he was educated at home by a private tutor he did seek to find as many new friends as possible and befriended many of the staff and many of them doted on the rambunctious young lad. He was happy, content, and loved his father and mother with all of his heart. His most cherished memory was of the day before Britannia invaded where his father insisted that he'd protect him no matter what.

However after Britannia invaded Ireland as a stepping point the Irish Army was bulldozed unable to hold off the more advanced Knightmare Frames however Irish men and women don't stay down for long as before they even moved into Scotland Jack's father organized a resistance movement and stole some of the Britannian Knightmare Frames straight out of a convoy and proceeded to enact swift and deadly raids on Britannian military groups with help from the French Army. Scott was more than willing to stay back and take care of Jack during this time and he taught him the ins and outs of military life including how to use fire arms and how to fight. Jack adjusted to his life quick enough though he dearly desired to go back to how his life used to be. He even seemed to have a talent for piloting as he snuck into one of the bases's storage areas and managed to boot up and use a Knightmare Frame without help. Jack would help make and set bombs and do some minor gun fights with some members of the IRA before his time in Ireland came to an end.

His father decided life itself was too hard in Ireland for his youngest son so his father sent him away to a dear friend in Japan named Nagamasa Azai who was the leader of the Japanese Army's most talented divisions. Though Nagamasa would take on Jack as a son they wouldn't see eye to eye immediately though Nagamasa had much hope for the boy after seeing his determination. Nagamasa would take care and shelter Jack who would take on his last name of 'Azai' unofficially and teach him the Japanese language and culture. Jack and Nagamasa slowly bonded until Jack and Nagamasa were forced to leave after Japan lost the war and Nagamasa joined the JLF. Nagamasa was confident in Jack's abilities and let him join as well when Jack insisted. The two would work together and after proving himself even received a modified Burai to fit his abnormal talents with the machines. However as the battles grew harder Nagamasa decided to lead a futile attack on a Britannian military group in hopes of buying more time for the group and sent Jack away. Jack had nowhere to go so he had resorted to living in the Ghettos living on what jobs he could find and usually under a false name. Though he does run a small time gang of former JLF members loyal to Azai and dreams of one day finding a way to overcome his oppressors and find his family if they still are alive.

Nationalism
Honesty
Loyalty

Dislikes:
Intrigue (Spying, politics, assassination, etc)
Racism
Blatant disregard for people's lives
Idealism

Unfortunately for me Clock has made a similar character to my own however I will edit him to try to make him different. By similar I don't mean he's a Britannian but he is, or more correctly was, a knightmare frame pilot that came from Ireland (before Europe was taken over by Britannia as apparently the EU doesn't exist in this timeline.). He joined the Japanese Liberation Front as a way to gain experience so he could lead an effort to revive Europe or at least his homeland but when the JLF faltered his foster father had him leave the group. He has the potential to become an Ace pilot and a great soldier but he isn't much in the leadership category. He can lead but he lacks charisma and subtly.
