Presenting Nero
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Nero
Date of Birth / Age: April 9; at of the conclusion of DMC4's events, 19
Nicknames: Kid (courtesy of Dante)
Position: Half-demon
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Appearance: Nero has bright white hair much like Dante and Vergil, cut in a slightly messy hairstyle with bangs that he does his best (and often fails) to keep out of his eyes. Said eyes are a dark blue and in the right light sometimes a gold ring can be seen around the rims of both pupils. Unless, of course, he's in Devil Trigger, in which case they are a blazing red. Height-wise Nero is fairly average, a bit under six feet, and is fairly muscular but in a more lanky way.
Nero's fashion choices tend to lean more towards comfort than flair, as he can usually be seen in jeans, but it's a fashionable sort of casual. His wardrobe usually consists of a mixture of red and blue clothing, and while his favorite hoodie is red leather, his favorite coat is blue denim. He also rarely goes out in public without something he can use to potentially conceal his Devil Bringer, should the need arise.
Face Claim: N/A
CHARACTER PERSONALITY
Strengths Nero is very loyal to his friends. On the abilities side he's very physically durable and has great stamina. His Devil Bringer arm adds a great advantage to his attack range and strength. He's also pretty quick and good at dealing powerful strikes with his main weapon, the Red Queen.
Weaknesses Nero's very hotheaded and can let his temper control his actions. His attack style can sometimes be a little reckless and leave his back open to attacks.
Personality : Nero's a very loyal person and would go to the ends of the earth for the people he cares about. Sometimes he can come off as a bit naive however. He's very passionate, and is easy to annoy and often quick to anger, but he's generally a good kid.
On the outside Nero comes off as rebellious and sometimes grumpy. Only a few people have the ability to peel away the outer layers to see the caring person that he is on the inside. He is actually pretty emotional and (would never admit it) often cries during films.
OVERALL BACKGROUND
Father: Unknown, presumably deceased
Mother: Unknown, presumably deceased
Siblings: None (probably)
Overall History: Nero never knew his parents, though it's commonly assumed that he's of some part of Sparda's line. He was found by the Order of the Sword as a baby and raised with Credo and Kyrie as their younger brother. Though he was brought up in the Order he never really shared its beliefs and didn't put much stock into the Sparda myths. Despite this, he still became a Holy Knight in the Order. However he never really played well with others so he usually got missions to complete alone.
Not long ago he was in a confrontation in the Mitis Forest where he was forced to protect Kyrie from a large group of demons. His shoulder was injured and never fully healed, transforming into the demonic Devil Bringer which fully revealed itself during his first conflict with Dante.
Nero was instrumental in the revelation of the Order of the Sword's true face, as well as the defeat of its deranged patriarch, Sanctus.
Role-Play Sample
Nero sighed, resting his chin on the heel of his human hand and looking out over the beautiful city of Fortuna. His legs swung lazily over the edge of the rooftop he perched upon. From his vantage point he could see most of the city, and the setting sun reflected beautifully off of the water and cast the white buildings in scarlet and gold. The beauty of it was mostly lost on Nero however, who was thoroughly bored, but didn't have anything better to do with his time until some demons showed up to terrorize the townsfolk.
Something a block away caught his eye, and he grinned when he saw that a pack a Scarecrows shivering their way down the lane, sunlight gleaming off of sickle blades. Without hesitating, Nero jumped off of the roof, plunging through the air and landing in a crouch before vaulting up into a charge after the demons.
