' Define your meaning of war
To me it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
Because I'm hyped up, outta control
If it's a fight I'm ready to go ,
FULL NAME. nazuno jun akitaka
ALIAS. just try it. i assure you that you won’t like becoming a stain on the ground. there is one specific nickname that nazuno will absolutely never never ever tolerate, and it's a name that his mortal enemies -coughcougheveryonecoughcough- hail him to really get under his skin. call him nana, and it's insta death.
AGE. sixteen
GENDER. male
SEXUALITY. labelled asexual as nazuno doesn’t do sexual anything. he is immune to advances and flirtatious shenanigans (or maybe he’s just incredibly stupid). nazuno won’t tolerate being flirted with and the end result will most likely be a violent one, so no touchy, m’kay?
FAMILY. vongola
STATUS. cloud guardian
JOB. nazuno can be what you call a temp or a free lancer as he gets easily bored and likes to take on more than one job to stay amused. because of this he can be seen walking dogs, working at a few restaurants as a chef or server, and various desk jobs. one of the more unbecoming –and not to mention illegal– jobs nazuno takes up is organized street fights. kind of like dog fighting (except with humans), nazuno has people bet money on him to beat up participating opponents. the brawls can get very dangerous (not to mention the amount of cheating that takes place) and are usually held underground by a hosting gang of thugs. nazuno works for the red butterfly suicide squad, and is their undefeated champion.
TYPE.
cloud flame ;; main flame
storm flame ;; sub flame
RING.
vongoal cloud ring ;; the ring given to him for being vongoal’s cloud guardian. it is worn on the opposite hand of his second ring. the cloud ring is attached to a thin chain which connects to an identical metal cuff sported on his other wrist.
zero shock ring ;; this ring fits the entire length of his middle finger, the point forming the shape of a claw. it is coloured an off white, and the surface bears many dented scars. a single thin chain is attached to the ring and connects to a wrist band of sorts that comes off looking very much like a metal cuff. the ring boosts his weapon’s final attack, and serves most of the gun’s storm functions.
ANIMAL.
tipo solitario ;; tipo solitario, also known as kapu, is obvious to his name, a wolf. he is considerably larger in size compared to regular wolves, and the fur rolling smoothly off his figure is of a deep auburn tint. some would argue that the colour appears similar to blood because of the red being such a bold and dominant tone in the fur. as the peltage seems to be soft to the touch, it comes as a surprise to most when they find it is actually quite bristled and thick, his fur potentially possessing the ability to draw blood much like a porcupine.
starting off, kapu’s cloud flames cannot be visibly seen. this is because it resides within his eyes, and the wolf keeps them closed at all times unless pitched into a brawl. kapu’s eyes have no pupils -much less any colour- as the flames take away the regular appearance of what a pair of optics should look like. he isn’t blind, and in fact can see perfectly fine. the only difference is that everything is in black and white and the outline of a person is viewed by body temperature instead of human detail.
lastly, a loose set of white bandages hangs lamely around kapu, the medical stripes ultimately being used for offense and defence. he can manipulate the bandages to either extend for an attack, or rear up to form a type of barrier that can ward off basic assaults.
nazuno and kapu get along well enough to acknowledge the fact that they are partners, but apart from that there seems to be no emotional attachment. kapu remains because he shares an obsession for fighting like his partner, though that aside neither of the pair hold much concern for one another if they happen to fall during battle.
WEAPONS.
fortuna nero ;; or known as black luck, is nazuno’s main box weapon and has two stages. appearing as a sizeable black pistol, studded with what appears to be dog teeth around the barrel, the handle of the gun takes on the shape of a wolf with it’s maw gaping. when rounds are fired from the weapon, the shots emit a clipped and high pitched dog bark that usually tends to surprise the enemy as they wouldn’t expect such a noise to come from an inanimate object.
zero shock ;; fortuna nero has a final attack; zero shock, which is activated by the ring named after it. when used, the fired shots create a storm off chaotic winds as the driving force is doubled. to startle and throw enemies off, zero shock emits a deafening bestial roar which ultimately has the potential to shatter ear drums.
doppia sfortuna ;; when activated, the barrel of the gun extends and the handle clicks back so that it takes up the form of a long spiked pole. if desired, the trigger of the gun handle can be pulled, allowing for a massive curved blade to appear, giving the final stage the characteristics of a giant scythe. in this form, doppia sfortuna can unleash a powerful storm attack appropriately named ululato tempesta, which possesses the wind strength of a hurricane. a melodic howling chorus emits once the attack is unleashed, and has the ability to entrance enemies in a hypnotic daze.
LIKES.
♥ starwberries ;; nazuno will do absolutely anything for the red fruit, his fancy for the particular berry could be seen as something of a unhealthy obsession. his fondness for eating strawberries isn't just restricted to its berry form as he will consume anything that contains the fruit (ex. strawberry shakes, strawberry cake, strawberry candy,strawberry vodka shots).
♥ fighting ;; the one thing that really gets his blood pumping is a good bloody brawl. nazuno lives and breathes combat, his very reason for existing is based around fights and surviving past each enemy. unfortunately the person has to interest him for the boy to actually strike back. if he finds the fight to be boring, nazuno will simply stop attacking and pitch up a conversation, which usually means he'll start to insult his enemies with ludicrous comments. Either that or he'll just walk away.
♥ style ;; someone who possesses a good sense of fashion or creative mind will most likely gain a few lifting points from nazuno. he loves style and makes it his goal to dress in order to amaze the public with his unique taste. multiple fashion branches have asked nazuno to apply as a model for their company, but each time the offers are turned down. this is because nazuno doesn't wish to share his style with the world, and would rather his fashion sense remain his own trade mark signature.
♥ mechanics ;; aside from fighting, nazuno enjoys tinkering away at machines, often finding solace in buffing up or fixing a certain bit of machinery. this leads him to making regular visits to multiple junk yards to pick up on various discarded mechanical items that he sees fit in fixing. unfortunately, nazuno has developed a habit of wanting to tweak things outside of the junk yard. if he sees something that could be made to look better, he won't hesitate to add his own personal touch, even if it isn't actually in need of repairing.
♥ goggles ;; he has em. don't touch. almost topping in his obsession for strawberries, nazuno loves goggles and has a closet full of them, each pair worn for a specific occasion or situation. this particular item is nazuno's signifying characteristic, and his face is often recognized by the eye gear regularly fastened around his head. nazuno wears his goggles like a boss (aka lopsided).
DISLIKES.
.x. cats ;; he'll punt those SOB's over a fence. :3
.x. poor fashion sense ;; if nazuno thinks what you are wearing is absolutely hideous, he won't hesitate to state this. it's not like he hates you personally, his insults and irritation is mostly geared toward the clothes themselves for even existing. if the apparel is disliked enough, nazuno will often try and destroy the article of clothing, even if it is still being worn by someone.
.x. meat products ;; nazuno is strictly a vegetarian and won't go near anything that was once a furry, four legged and happily alive creature. even looking at a piece of meat will make the boy sick to his stomach. he doesn't care if someone else is eating meat beside him -they will probably earn a few glares- as long as he's not forced to consume a cooked and spiced animal.
.x. boredom ;; not only does he slip into boredom easily, nazuno is incapable of staying still for a long period of time and will constantly be moving about. this being one of his biggest dislikes, the boy doesn't have a civil way of dealing with his boredom. if hoping from one activity to another won't cure his itching, nazuno will sink into a state of violent angst, and will eventually walk around breaking things and cussing at inanimate objects. the longest the boy will ever stay focused is during a fight, but then again the battle has to be interesting for him to stick around.addmuchlolwut?
.x. sexual harassment/engagement ;; just no. please just no. don't even try. you.will.hurt....badly (that is if he can eventually connect the dots).
FEARS.
☁ dying ;; this particular fear is a little bit more complicated than one would normally think as it seems pretty straight forward. nazuno doesn't really fear death, he is just terrified of dying in a mundane way. if he has to one day die, whether it be before his time or on the appropriate schedule, nazuno wishes to go out with an exciting bang. because he has a weak heart nazuno doesn't expect to live for very long and fears the cause of his likely death will be triggered by the frail organ. he isn't concerned if people will remember him once he's gone, the boy just wants to wring life of as much thrill as he can, even when the time comes to draw the last breath.
☁ attachment ;; since nazuno was a child, he had been independent and relied on no one. he grew up surrounded by poverty so there wasn't anyone who would care for the young boy, and to ask his parents for love and affection would be like trying to talk to a brick wall and expect an answering reply. from this, nazuno has grown up with a fear of becoming attached to someone. he simply doesn't wish to share his feelings with another, terrified that it will all one day become useless to the individual and he will be left for better people.
☁ failure ;; the fear centers around his obsession for fighting. even before joining the red butterfly suicide squad, nazuno fought for most things in life, mainly to stay alive. losing was not an option, especially for the underground mobsters. if he was defeated in a fight, nazuno was severely beaten by his employers and was often disallowed to leave base for a certain amount of days without food or water. fueled by the memories of being locked in solitude, enduring pain, nazuno will push himself past limits just to win, fearing he will be punished if he were to ever lose in a fight.
DREAMS.
☂ cure ;; suffering from a weak heart, nazuno wishes to surpass his ailment, knowing that the illness could very well one day be his downfall. he frequently experiences attacks that leave him short of breath and in extreme pain, the timing of the brushes with death are usually random and can occur at any given moment. on most occasion, nazuno's attacks are triggered by taking in a large amount of damage or strain to the body. he keeps his condition a secret for fear of it being used against him as he greatly dislikes having to experience the painful attacks.
☂ excitement ;; as nazuno detests boredom to the point of becoming extremely violent, he is constantly searching for the person who will provide him with an exciting thrill, and he does this through fights. nazuno's reason for constant battle doesn't solely rest on the fact that he simply has an unhealthy obsession for it and that is quiets his hunger, he is in reality waiting and watching for the opponent that sends his blood rushing into a frenzy. once he finds said individual, nazuno will have the perfect outlet for his boredom rages.
ABILITIES.
the boy is skilled in both close combat and distant range attacks. having experienced knowledge in both sword play and proper gun handling, nazuno is quite the fearful opponent as he is able to effectively adapt to both types. when using a gun, the boy will keep his distance from the assaulting enemy as he can skillfully shoot down a moving target from any point. that's not to say he can't still fight at close range with a gun, and in fact has the trained ability to deflect basic attacks with the weapon. fortuna nero in it's second stage is handled very much like a sword even though it doesn't quite fall under the category. because the span of the weapon is quite long, doppia sfortuna can be used for long range assaults if need be, but nazuno usually keeps to close combat when using the weapon in this stage.
besides using swords and guns, the boy is skilled in hand to hand combat. this being his first style of offensive and defensive fighting, nazuno incorporates the particular art whenever using his weapons. if goaded into a brawl, nazuno usually approaches things head on, though not in a rash manner, just in a way that disallows much time for his opponent to strike back. because he can calculate the situation without much need for mulling, nazuno hasn't a problem with driving straight into the heart of battle.
FULL PERSONALITY.
nazuno isn’t a particularly friendly character, and it would be recommended to keep a fair amount of distance from the lad. normally he puts out as the cold and uncaring type, but the boy has a soft spot for his commander kenjiro. typically being the lone wolf, it is odd to find nazuno remaining close by kenji’s side as he fears that even his comrades will make unnecessary moves toward the vongola leader. as much as he despises having flirtatious advances directed towards himself, nazuno finds it even more of a bother to witness kenji being treated in such a way, and will instantly chew out the poor soul who decided it a fun game to harass the vongola commander.
he rarely likes to associate himself with others, and is by no means a social butterfly, often having a tendency to purposely push people away. nazuno constantly holds onto a sour attitude, and seems rather incapable of smiling. due to lack of cheering expressions, most people find the boy to be rather unapproachable and a sure intimidation. he enjoys the quiet, and thus his solitary life, the only one exception for company would be kenjiro’s as he doesn’t find the male’s presence to be a bother. nazuno finds it an inconvenience when people try and mess with his daily routines, the boy being actually quite quick to anger, though it is hard to see as he is a master at composing his features.
most only ever see nazuno as a gloomy and dark presence that should be left untouched and watched from afar, the occasional whisper being thrown over the shoulder. however much he dislikes human contact, it becomes some what of a guilty pleasure to be able to communicate with others as nazuno becomes bored with his lonely life style, and on occasion finds it a bit of a thrill to be around others (though he’ll never admit this). because the boy spends most of his time avoiding the human population, he doesn’t much know how to deal with other peoples emotions, and would become quite flustered if someone were to break down into tears in front of him.
there are very few things that will bring about nazuno’s better side, and he prefers it to stay that way as the lad is quite paranoid about the world and it’s inhabitants, and what they would do if his secrets were found out. he frequently imagines there to be people waiting around every corner, their supposed twisted minds plotting to erase his very existence. nazuno has a habit of talking to himself when his brain locks into a paranoid daze, and the boy rarely remembers dipping into such a state after being brought back to present times. apart for being famous for his ruthless fighting rages, nazuno can be seen as being quite odd. his mannerisms and moods are far less intimidating if they are seen as being strange, therefore the boy rubs off as being rather harmless.
lastly, the boy is extremely obsessive and stubborn beyond belief. if nazuno is tempted into a fight that he finds worthy of delivering retaliating attacks, he won't stop until the opponent is brought down, no matter the state he is in. the only one person he will ever listen to is kenji, his loyalty for the male practically bursting from the seams, and would much rather to something distasteful than ignore a given order from his commander. nazuno's obsessions mostly circulate around his interests, with the added number of shielding kenji from flirtatious advances and sexual harassment. once the obsession has been put forth, there is no escaping it.
BRIEF HISTORY.
nazuno was brought up in poverty, and his mother being an avid drug user was not much of a help to their tight money problems. his father had left the pair the moment things began getting too difficult to manage, the ungrateful man scrounging up most of the money they had in possession, and took off. nazuno’s mother often swung into depression, her abusive nature blooming when she was off the drugs. in this state, the young woman would blame her child and curse his existence, announcing that things would be far better if she had not birthed another mouth to feed. the small boy found himself liking the intoxicated parent better than the grounded one, often thinking to himself why he had ever preferred his mother when she was not taking drugs.
what little cash nazuno was able to pack together typically went to the dealers his mother dealt with, the boy going to sleep on an empty stomach many nights in a row. he soon became restless with the way his miserable life was proceeding, hating how he had to steal from stores that delivered a nasty beating if you were ever caught. nazuno’s emotions soon took a turn for the worst, his slowly deteriorating mind caving under the pressure of abuse and sickness. he could have been saving up for proper health care to treat his weak heart, but alas his mother always managed to find the money he so desperately tried to hide, and turned the cash in for drugs.
money soon began to grow ever scarce, and nazuno’s mother had become presently desperate for the fake pieces of happiness that always managed to bring her a more delightful experience. when she could no longer pay her dealers, she offered up her son in exchange. devastated, but not thoroughly shocked, nazuno was forced to leave with the drug merchant. though he was still fairly young at the time, the dealer found some use in nazuno’s body, and would often sexually assault him. it wasn’t until the boy’s owner discovered the dealings of the underground fights, his interests quickly becoming drawn to the amount of money one could win.
though nazuno had little experience in hand to hand combat, he was able to protect himself from various threats, but nothing compared to fully trained fighters. the age group mattered not to the organizations running the underground, so nazuno was waved into the ring without a seconds thought. the dealer obviously had zero knowledge of the terrors that took place during competitions, and clearly expected nazuno to win as he had lived on the harsh streets for the durations of his childhood years. as a result, the boy was badly beaten the moment the fight was called out into play.
even as a small child, nazuno was persistent and stubborn, refusing to fall under an opponents feet. this attitude caught the attention of the infamous group the red butterfly suicide squad, and he was once again called upon for an exchange. because the dealer preferred money above all else, nazuno was handed over to the underground group without much hesitation. as soon as the boy was able to move around without much difficulty, he was put under severe training that would improve his skills and his physical stamina. the group itself wasn’t cruel to its own members, their training methods were just greatly disliked by the young lad. he however soon grew used to the tasking methods and found himself eager to test his new found abilities.
nazuno’s first few fights were unsuccessful, but far better than his first, and the group was satisfied enough to know that their training was paying off. it was quite the many successful fights later that nazuno’s winning streaks caught the attention of the vongola. despite the vile things that took place in the underground, a few members were sent under cover to investigate the young male who wiped out vicious terrors with ease. intrigued by his performance, the male was pulled aside after his match and informed of the vongola’s interest in him, the topic lightly glazing over to the specific reason. always in a mood to broaden his choices of things to keep him occupied, nazuno agreed to take up the offer.
it was there that he was given the cloud ring to test if he was it’s proper master, the item taking to him almost instantly. from there he was announced as the cloud guardian to the vongoal family, and he would be serving under kenjiro rokudo. [/blockquote][/blockquote]
