CHARACTER PERSONALITY
Strengths: Nero's strengths lies in protecting the ones that he likes, and loves. Swordship is another of his ability. Of course another is his love for Kyrie, and his desire to protect her at all costs.
Weaknesses: His weaknesses are very similiar to what protecting Kyrie at all costs, and he would go to the great lengths to protect Kyrie even if it puts him in harm's way. He hasn't know what he was going to do, but Kyrie is his greatest weakness.
Personality: Nero is very rebellious, much like Dante and Sparda before him; for example, he wields guns, despite the Order's general prohibition against them. He is also very loyal to his friends, especially to Kyrie. Nero is very emotional and has been seen to cry multiple times. When Nero first received the Devil Bringer, he covered it with an arm sling, both out of shame and to hide it from the Order. Despite this, Nero doesn't really believe in the Order's religion, and cares little for the legend of Sparda.
OVERALL BACKGROUND
Father: unknown
Mother: unknown
Siblings: Kyrie (sister/friend/lover)
Overall History:Mentioned in an incident report, a number of demons appeared suddenly from the Mitis Forest and attacked Fortuna. Luckily, Nero was present at the scene and exterminated all of the demons. During this incident, Kyrie, who was accompanying Nero, was injured while Nero received a minor injury to his right shoulder. Nero's sword, the Red Queen, was damaged and sent for repair. Kyrie recovered completely, but Nero's shoulder never healed, and he continued to carry his arm in a sling after the incident.
One day, Nero manages to barely make it to one of Kyrie's performances in time after dealing with a group of demons. He leaves her a gift and then prepares to leave, having grown tired of Sanctus's preaching. Just before he can leave, though, a mysterious man in red bursts in through the glass ceiling during a prayer and slays Sanctus, the leader of the Order.
Before the assassin (who is later revealed to be Dante) can confirm the kill, Credo, along with a battalion of knights confront him, but are completely outmatched. Kyrie, seeing that Dante is going to kill her brother, finally escapes Nero's hold on her and runs to them, but is knocked down in the process. A worried Nero decides to step in the fight, sporting his iconic two-legged kick into Dante's face.
The two fight, and Nero is forced to reveal his Devil Bringer. With it, he is able to knock Dante back and impale him with his own sword on Sparda's statue. But Dante, not just a mere mortal, frees himself and jumps down. Nero states that Dante isn't human. Dante then pulls Rebellion out and comments that they're the same, and points out the knights he had slain. They turned out to be in fact demons. Confused, Nero watches as Dante flees the scene.
Shortly after, Kyrie returns Nero's sword, Red Queen, at Credo's request. Credo gives an order to Nero - to pursue the mysterious man in red. Credo also says that witnesses saw him heading to Fortuna Castle. Suddenly, all three feel the structure shudder, and leave the building only to discover the city's citizens being attacked by demons. While Kyrie and Credo lead the survivors back to headquarters, Nero fights off the remaining demons.
In order to pursue Dante, Nero must go through Fortuna, which has been totally overrun with demons. His pursuit of the man in red leads him to discover the source of these demons: In a small village at the base of Lamina Peak, just outside the city, Nero finds the first Hell Gate and fights its guardian, Berial the Conqueror of the Fire Hell.
After defeating Berial, Nero makes his way through a supernatural blizzard to Fortuna Castle, where he meets Gloria, a new member of the Order whom he's never seen before. After some exposition, Nero and Gloria go their separate ways. When Nero enters Fortuna Castle, he finds it infested with demons and starts to investigate. He finds the second Hell Gate and fights Bael, a large toad-like demon whose specialty is ice.
While exploring the castle, Nero stumbles upon a secret underground laboratory of the Order, where he meets Agnus, the Order's Chief Alchemist. Agnus reveals that he created the Hell Gates and uses them to summon demons, which he needs for his experiments. Agnus also reveals that by using this power, Sanctus hopes to rule the world. Agnus has Nero nearly killed by his Angelos, but Nero dramatically unleashes his Devil Trigger, gaining a phantom-like appearance. In this form, Nero manages to resurrect Yamato, the broken sword of Dante's fallen brother, Vergil, which Agnus had kept suspended in some kind of magical field generator in his lab. Nero forces Agnus to reveal his Angelo form and retreat.
Nero heads towards The Order's headquarters, believing Credo knows more about what is going on. He crosses a bridge which leads into a cave concealed by a the Foris Falls and finds himself in the Mitis Forest. Here, Dante bumps into him, but their encounter is very brief. Dante apologizes snidely to Nero for being so brief, and then jumps off a cliff, as if knowing Nero lacks the confidence to follow. Nero fights countless demons on his way through the forest and eventually banishes Echidna the She-Viper, a dragon-like demon who treats the demons of the forest as her children. After that, Nero reaches the Headquarters without any other surprises.
At the entrance he is met by Credo, whereupon Nero asks who Dante is. Credo draws his blade and exclaims that Nero does not have the authority to demand answers from him. Nero reflexively uses his Devil Bringer to block an attack from Credo, exposing his secret. Realizing that Agnus, who brought news of Nero's demonic power to the Orders commanders only moments earlier, was right, Credo transforms into his Angelo form and declares that Nero is under arrest. A fight ensues, after which Credo returns to his human form and Nero emerges victorious, but Kyrie, appearing seemingly from nowhere, screams out when she beholds what she interprets as Nero, with a demon arm, trying to kill Credo.
Nero tries to explain and calm Kyrie, but Agnus swoops in and captures Kyrie, revealing Sanctus' desire to use her to get to Nero. Credo is furious as Agnus flies away with Kyrie. Credo puts aside his fight with Nero, for the time being, and vows to get to the truth from Sanctus. While Credo flies off to see Sanctus, Nero pursues Agnus and Kyrie. Nero finds and fights Agnus in the Order's headquarters, but fails to kill him. Just as Nero is about to finish off Agnus, an army of Bianco Angelos lead by none other than Sanctus himself, in the armor of an Alto Angelo. As Sanctus leaves with Kyrie, Nero jumps after her, but he is only able to grab her necklace, which he gave her as a gift back at the cathedral.
Nero turns around and continues to pursue Agnus, Sanctus, and Kyrie, however, he runs into Dante on his way out. Nero tries to ignore Dante, but Dante reveals that he wants Yamato back because it used to belong to his brother. Nero refuses, causing another fight between them. Although Nero wields Yamato, Dante is able to beat him, though he refuses to kill him. Although Dante wants his brother's sword back, he allows Nero to keep it for now, seeing how he needs it. Nero reveals his name to Dante and leaves.
Nero later finds Sanctus next to a giant statue resembling Sparda, which is called The Savior. Sanctus asks Nero if he wishes to surrender himself and form the Savior's core together with Kyrie. Nero refuses and attempts to rescue his love, but fails and falls into Sanctus's trap. Sanctus takes the Yamato from Nero. Suddenly, Credo appears, enraged because Sanctus had used Kyrie, and attacks his former superior. Sanctus runs him through with Yamato, causing a mortal wound. Credo falls off the Savior but is caught by Dante. He, together with Trish, witness as Nero is absorbed into the heart of the Savior. The Savior awakens and flies toward Fortuna. Credo asks Dante to honor one last request: to save both Kyrie and Nero.
Much later, Dante, having retrieved Yamato and destroyed all the Hell Gates, faces off against the Savior. After weakening the Savior's exterior, Dante thrusts Yamato into the core of the statue, awakening Nero and allowing him to escape the heart-like organ imprisoning him. After completing a number of trials within the Savior, Nero finally confronts Sanctus. Sanctus, having achieved even greater levels of power with the Sparda, asks why Nero betrayed the Order. Nero answers that Sanctus has done enough foul deeds to make Nero hate him. During their exchanges, Sanctus also scoffs at Nero for being held back by love.
Nero finally defeats Sanctus inside the Savior. In a final bid for victory, Sanctus implores Sparda for power, but his request remains unfulfilled. In a fit of rage, he asks why Sparda refuses to give him the power to kill Nero. Of course, the sword remains silent, but Nero explains to Sanctus that although Sparda was a demon, he did have a heart, one that could love another person. Lacking this, the sword will not grant his request for power. Nero saves Kyrie and kills Sanctus, and they escape the Savior.
Although it seems the end has come, the Savior transforms into the form of the False Savior, taking on Sanctus' appearance. Nero asks to fight in Dante's stead, and Dante acquiesces. Nero offers a quick prayer to God, during which he explains how he's come to terms with his demonic power, and destroys the False Savior and Sanctus once and for all. He meets up with Dante, with whom he exchanges thanks and friendship. Nero tries to return Yamato back to Dante, but he refuses to take it, saying it's his gift to Nero. Nero asks Dante if they'll meet again, but Dante just vaguely waves in answer. Kyrie joins Nero and expresses her desire to be with him, regardless of his demon power, thus showing her total acceptance of him. Nero returns the necklace to her and they nearly kiss, but they are interrupted by some remaining Scarecrows. Nero fights them off while Kyrie waits, agreeing to kiss him later.
Role-Play Sample
Nero was at the cathedral, and he wasn't paying too much attention to Kyrie's singing. Nero was sleeping right through the singing, and he had been sitting there on the bench with his headphones around his neck, and his arm in a cast to hide the devil's arm. When Kyrie had been done with her singing, she came over to the bench then sat down. "Nero, how long do you think we have known each other?" Kyrie asked. Nero had woken up when she had came near to him. "As long as we have lived together." Nero said. Nero had pretty much been falling in love with Kyrie for the last couple of years that they had been together.
Nero was going to say something about his feelings for her, but then Dante had came through the ceiling attempt to kill Sanctus. Nero had took this opportunity to fight him on even grounds when his devil's arm had been revealed Dante noticed that Nero is a bit more than an ordinary guy, but he was in fact a demon/human hybrid. "You are like me aren't you?" Nero asked. Nero's answer had went unheard when the Order had came.
Nero had woken up from his dream, and it had been only a year since he had killed Sanctus, he had wondered why he was dreaming of a year ago. "Kyrie, are you around?" Nero asked. Kyrie had come next to Nero, and smiled. "Yes, I am I have been waiting for you to wake up." Kyrie said. Nero hadn't kept his arm in a cast of this time around. "Kyrie, you know how much I love you." Nero said. Kyrie had looked at Nero, and nodded. Nero kissed Kyrie of the promised kiss he would give to her a year ago.
