APPEARANCE
[/font]Appearance Description:[/size][/font]
Azure stands at 6’0, and has a very thin figure, making him very agile, not weighing more than one hundred seventy-five pounds. His most prominent feature is his red hair that extends past his shoulder blades; he is never seen without it tied back though. He has glistening green eyes, but in combat, they drastically change to a maroon color. He is often seen wearing black fatigue pants and a maroon vest with orange trimmings, black boots, and a single black glove on his left hand, which cover a couple of severe burns. Over all of that, he wears a maroon robe.
He’s got a dark maroon scar surrounding his left eye that was an ending result in a "pugna de incendia" with his father. He’s got numerous small scars from burns, but none are visible due to his clothing. But other than that, he's got a clear complexion. Despite being raised on Traverse Town, his skin is tanned, the native skin tone of those of Royeauxan descent. He often wears a sneer of supreme cockiness and speaks with what is known as a "pirate" accent, but is really the usual tongue in Royeaux.
Picture:[/size][/font]
Essentially, that's how he looks, only his hair is much longer and tied back in a ponytail, and is bright red in color. The picture does not belong to me, it belongs to its respective owner.
WEAPONRY
[/font]Conflagration’s Restraint is a katana-like blade he constructed himself when he was fifteen. Its coloring is similar to that of a flame, a careful blending of the colors yellow, orange, and red. On its sheath bears the emblem of a phoenix, a legendary firebird that is an insignia of mortal doom in his home world, Royeaux. The actual blade itself is so sharp that even the slightest touch of it could sever one's finger. During Spitfire, if the blade is in his possession, Conflagration’s Restraint is also engulfed in flame.
ABILITIES
[/font]Like most inhabitants of Royeaux, Azure is capable of manipulating the element of flame to obey his every whim. In his current form, one touch of fire on his skin won’t even affect him in the slightest; in fact, the flames act as a healing source for him. He had these powers before becoming a member of Novus Ordo, but they were enhanced to past extraordinary. It now doesn’t require nearly as much will to use his powers as it used to; he can simply create an inferno with a simple snap of his fingers. With his fire abilities, he also knows limited thunder magic.
When he has gained enough concentration, he is able to perform his signature power, Spitfire. During this, his body becomes engulfed in full flame and unleashed a powerful and rapid combination of blows to his opponent(s).
Like every other Nobody in Novus Ordo, he is capable of opening portals called Corridors of Darkness that allow him to get to other worlds quickly and without being seen.
TALENTS
[/font]Aside of swordsmanship and fire magicks, Azure has trained himself to be a highly skilled dancer. He is able to flawlessly perform any form of dance; his favorite being the Salsa. Over the years he's acquiring moderate cooking skills due to living on his own. He's also a skilled survivalist, having high street smarts and is a master of stealth. He's also got some crafting skills, and some minor skills in engineering.
PERSONAL
[/font]Personality:[/size] [/font]
Azure’s got a more complex personality. He is viewed as a cocky teenager who doesn’t know when to shut his mouth, and is extremely sarcastic. He drives people to their limits, causing many to dislike him. However, everyone he comes in contact with would agree that he is extremely intelligent; he meticulously thinks situations over, and if it doesn’t go as he thought, he instantly knows how to fix it.
He’s a self-acclaimed liar; he knows how to present words smoothly making it hard to determine whether or not he’s telling the truth. No one really knows what the boy’s thinking, causing him to lead an enigmatic life. He tries not to get too close to others, and even though he’s not afraid to speak his mind, he doesn’t give away much about himself. He just simply doesn't trust anyone. Like his father, he is also a misanthropist, feeling that humans are the cause of destruction and chaos.
History:[/size][/font]
Azure was born in the corrupted pirate world of Royeaux to the almighty pirate lord and one of his serving maidens. From the day he was born, the boy's been an outcast, mainly because of his lineage. However, that wasn't an issue since no one was aware that the boy was the lord's own bastard. Those around the palace believed that he was bred of two of his servants, which was for the best. Well, for him and his reputation.
Not long after his birth did rumors of a Heartless invasion begin spreading throughout the villainous world. Soon enough, the scuttlebutt was becoming more and more of a reality and Heartless were affiliating Royeaux. People in both the commons and the Royal Palace were being swallowed into the Darkness or just simply killed, Azure's mother amongst the victims. In a last ditch effort, Lord Kala'myr withdrew he and the boy he sired to the only world safe enough for refugees, Traverse Town.
Upon arrival, the former lord of outlaws was astounded at the number of individuals roaming the streets; the scourge of Heartless must have been conquering worlds left and right. But in his eyes, all the individuals were seen as filth, inferior to him. Azure's father walked through the crowded alleyways until he discovered a decent enough place in District Two for them to lay low for awhile. In the meantime, the pirate lord was forced to raise his son since the boy's mother was no longer in the picture.
Over the years, he taught Azure everything he possibly could from reading to swordsmanship, once he was old enough. He'd teach him the customs and required skills of a criminal mastermind, such as agility and stealth. He'd reluctantly share stories and legends from back home, leaving out some of the details the boy wouldn't yet understand. The more he thought about home, the more he missed being in charge, inspiring fear in the eyes of those he believed were below him. But those days were over, since there was no knowing if Royeaux would be restored.
From an outsider's point of view, Lord Kala'myr would've appeared to be an outstanding single father, when in reality, he was brutal to his only son. At the age of seven, Azure began showing the innate ability to wield the element of fire, just like his father and other nobleman back home. He began training his son so that his talents could become more refined, but it was obvious that Azure didn't possess the same prodigious skills as his old man. The sessions, as a result, were terrorizing; if young Azure didn't perform up to his father's expectations, he was punished with horrible burns. And as he got older, the sessions intensified and the punitive measures grew more severe.
By the age of twelve, Azure had matured more physically and intellectually. His abilities also became more profound and were starting to measure up to his father's, but his powers still required more physical exertion compared to his old man's. One day his father decided to challenge him to a duel to "test" his strength, when in reality, he sought to determine if the boy truly measured up to him. Back in Royeaux, the natives called this a "pugna de incendia". Azure accepted the challenge, hoping to prove to his old man that he was indeed worthy of his acceptance. Throughout the battle, Azure demonstrated his wit, agility, and all-around ability against his father, striking him with careful precision and power.
However, Azure made a near fatal mistake by depleting his energy source within him, and collapsed to his knees in exhaustion. His father walked up to him, smirking arrogantly. "Foolish boy," he spoke with absolute malice, "did you honestly believe that I'd let you win? You'll never be able to surpass me, and I'll never accept you as my heir." And with that, he blasted his son's face, leaving a permanent brand surrounding his left eye. Soon afterward, he was banished from his father's sight and was never to return.
During the time of his banishment, Azure educated himself in further studies of other worlds, and expanded his knowledge of other battle techniques. He also pushed himself to improve his powers, as well as trained himself to become a more proficient swordsman. He picked up other interests to pass the time such as crafting weaponry and learning to dance. At the age of fourteen, he constructed his own blade, Conflagration's Restraint, which immediately became a part of him. He wasn't too fond of socializing with locals, except if absolutely necessary, like when he was in the mood to induce fear.
At the age of fifteen, he felt he had mastered both the art of fire-conjuring and swordsmanship, and decreed that he was now ready to face his father once more. Only this time, he wasn't going to fight for his acceptance, he going to destroy him completely. He slid down the wall of the tower that he resided in for the last three years, until he reached the ground below. From there, he stealthily maneuvered through the streets, using the darkened corners to his advantage. As soon as he arrived at the location of his father's home, he scaled the building itself, and entered through the topmost window, which held his father's study, the one room he knew his father would be in.
Upon entry, he spotted his father sitting at his desk, reading over some ancient texts. He heard the teenager slip into his study, and was immediately infuriated at his presence. "How dare you intrude into my home," he said, practically spitting the words out in utter rage. "Aye, what is it you want, boy?"
"I've come to hinder your existence," Azure stated bluntly.
The sheer volume of his father's cackle after hearing his response was enough to shatter the glass on the windows. "You cannot be serious. Oh well, if it is a fight you want, I'll happily indulge you. It'll be great to finally be rid of you." Suddenly, the former pirate lord leapt over his desk, and readied his stance, bearing an arrogant expression on his face.
Unfazed, Azure unsheathed Conflagration's Restraint, and ignited it with red-orange flames. He lashed out at his father and the battle to the death ensued. In a matter of seconds, the whole place was engulfed in fire; everything inside of it was reduced to smithereens. With a quick slash of his katana-blade, Azure managed to break through the wall to escape the raging inferno inside the study with his father pursuing him. The two of them landed on a nearby building, and continued dueling each other.
As the pugna de incendia dragged on, Azure began to tire, but he didn't dare succumb to his exhaustion. However, eventually his precision started to falter due to fatigue, and his father kicked his son's blade out of his grasp. He then grabbed the teenager by his arms and forcefully sent him to the ground. His father rolled him onto his back with his foot, and pushed his foot against Azure's chest, crushing his ribcage. "Well, well, looks like you've failed yet again, m'boy. Your little assassination mission didn't work out, and now you'll face your untimely death, and I'll finally be rid of you. Permanently."
Right as his father was about to unleash a powerful blast of fire to incinerate his already-scarred face, Azure reached for Conflagration's Restraint and used it to shove the old man off of him. He slowly rose to his feet, trying his best to ignore the excruciating pain coming from his chest, and limped over to the man he once called his father. He mimicked his father's motion, only instead of his foot, he planted the hilt of his katana on his chest. "Oh how the tides have turned, old man." He pointed the sharpened edge of the blade at his father's throat. "Contrary to popular belief, my banishment has made me stronger. It gave me time to improve my skills without your constant abuse. I've relished this day for three years, and now, my aspirations come true. Good riddance, Father." He spat, as he drove the blade into the man's windpipe. He was dead instantly.
Azure stood over his father's body, watching the blood pour from his torn trachea, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment as he did so. Rain began to pour as Azure sheathed the weapon that had slain his abusive father, and finally Azure fled from the scene, fully aware that his battle had attracted the attention from the commoners down below. Those who had witnessed his triumph feared him, and would cower at the sight of him.
When Azure was sixteen, a scourge of Heartless invaded Traverse Town. While the townsfolk hurried away from them, Azure faced them head-on. He was able to incinerate a good number of them, but eventually he was overpowered by the Heartless and was devoured into the Darkness. Due to his strong will, he was transformed into a Nobody, and is now allied with Novus Ordo as the hand-picked second-in-command under the mysterious Superior.
