Character Development
Character Information
✗—TERRITORY OF BIRTH: Mentally, he was born in a different time when there was no distinction. Otherwise, he was born in Maelstrom territory.
✗—PERSONALITY:
One needs to remember one thing about Nero: His mind is mentally older than those around him, meaning he more than likely has the information of someone that is around fifty years in age. This includes the thirty years he was previously alive and the nineteen he has been living now.
Not much has changed to his personality since his last time on the world. Unlike those around him, Nero tends to keep to himself and keeps everyone out of his life completely. This is due to a past military background and being home schooled. He finds that showing an emotion will just get you knocked down and hurt in the long run. Because his emotions are usually locked away inside of him, his anger issues
When dealing with a large group of people, Nero is quiet and takes him time in observing others and guessing what will happen in their small time of events. When asked a question, he answers blunt, but truthfully and without hesitation.
Also from his militaristic background, Nero keeps on a schedule and will not break it unless anything is called for. Not meeting obligations or promises perks him as well and he will do anything to make up for it, especially if someone asks for food as compensation.
An introvert by nature and one that is more antisocial than not, his eyes are peeled to books when he is not training his muscles. He finds that every ounce of knowledge that he can achieve makes his chances in the tournament much better than the last. This involves looking into survival guides and putting them to use.
What worries him is that he may have to pair up with someone and actually have to rely on them for something as well as having to give them trust. After what happened in his past, this is very hard for him to do and avoiding it all together makes him much happier.
✗—APPEARANCE:

Nero does not remember a think about his past appearance in an earlier life. But what he has now comes from the parents that gave birth to him. Even then, he associates the family he was born into to have to looks that angels should have. Minus the blonde hair.
His complexion is a smooth, pale color that has some piece to it. A blemish is neither here nor there, but knowing techniques for skin care has gotten him out of the teenage rut of acne and the such.
But enough about that. His eyes and hair mimic the same color, the deep blue of the sky, colors of the heavens above, at least how he knows it. Sometimes, his hair may appear black as well. His hair is disheveled and all over the place, but it is kept tidy enough to not make him look like a country bumpkin. His stands at around six feet in height, maybe just a little lower. Nero also tends to wear blues and whites around the academy, but pays little attention to it.
Combat Information
✗—FIGHTING STYLE: (3 Maximum)
O Spear Mastery - Nero uses a spear in most of his battles. He finds that it is relatively easy to use and can become a one or two handed weapon if need be. (Say for instance it was a two handed spear and the handle broke, he can easily make due and get a few splinters in the process.) Many think he gives up extra damage by using spears, but every weapon, Nero thinks, has its own strength in its own right. And because of his lack of mobility, his spear makes some progress in the agility department.
O Hand-To-Hand - As it sounds, Nero definitely can fight hand to hand if need be. As a Taurus, it is expected that they know how to defend themselves when there are no weapons about. His hand-to-hand may be slower than other signs, but it also acts as a good diversion if someone needs to escape for whatever reason. And Nero is able to take quite a few hits because of his handiness in this sort of combat.
O Shield Defensive Technique - This style is unique in and of itself. By using just a shield with his spear, he can defend while also making some head way in damage, although it will be little. However, Nero can also use a shield by itself for great tanking abilities and it can be used to defend and attack (thought not very well) in the most dire circumstances, especially after losing his spear in the process.
✗—INVENTORY:
O Spear of Fragility - Like it's name, this spear is not the sturdiest spear around, but it has been with Nero since the beginning of his academy days. Once he collects up enough money, it plans on putting this spear away and using a sturdier spear in its stead.
O Round Shield – A simple wooden shield that Nero carries around with him on his back. It looks like it only has a few uses left.
✗—NORMAL ABILITIES:
O Defensive Stance - Nero uses his shield to protect himself for an on coming blow. (Damage: 0-0)
O Shield Bash- Nero thrusts himself at his opponent with his entire body force in order to knock them down and stun them for a bit. This allows others to attack as well. (Damage 2-4; Stun Effect)
O Jab - Nero uses his spear to stab an opponent in the chest and has no concern for accuracy. However, this can result in the entire spear going through the entity. Damage is fairly hard to determine for even with bad accuracy, it can deal a killing blow. (Damage: 6 - 10)
O Charge - Using both a spear and shield, Nero charges at his opponent with shield first before using his spear to attack the enemy. (Damage: 4-6)
O Protective Instinct - Using himself as a shield, Nero takes damage that was directed towards a fellow party member. (Damage: 0-2)
O Punch - Nero punches opponent. Very simple. (Damage: 2-3)
O Kick - Nero kicks his opponent with his leg. (Damage: 2-3)
O Tackle - Nero trusts his body onto his opponent to subdue them. Can also do for large opponents, but may only aggravate it further, but still good for distraction. (Damage: 0-3)
O Cooking - Battlefield cooking. Nero has learned to cook on the go and has a second sense in setting up a fire as quickly as possible, cooking under extreme duress and still making food as nutritious as possible. Damage: 0 - 2 (Burn Damage).

Background History

All of them are dead to him now except his new parents. Nero only keeps contact when he needs to.

✗—CHARACTER GOAL: To figure out who was the person that let him have a second chance at life. And figure out what changed in the world within the time he died and now, it makes him uneasy that the world was taken to the point that there is only two warring sides yet being even deadlier than small countries fighting.
✗—CHARACTER BACKSTORY:
O Before the Academy:
Born to a human mother and father eons ago, Nero never grew up during most of the wars that happened on the world. Yes, he had been in some, but never when the world was this divided. During his normal life, he was born during the second sign, Taurus, and was the son of a military household. Growing up, his daily routines would be exercises in the morning, studying, eating, then exercise again, all under his mother's guidance. (His father was out far too often to even be considered one).
Due to this, his social skills started to lack and he kept himself as a loner. This too was caused from his mother's stern over sight and want to homeschool him. Days would pass by himself and he would look into books as his friends instead of actual people. And when he had to be near other humans, he would see, hearts being broken. Why the hell would he want to be part of a world were his emotions were taken over by impulse and not thought on.
These feelings kept at it until he was thirty years. Just one woman was able to warm that cold heart of his. Yet it would stab him in the back, quite literally. Forcing a knife into the back of his heart, she twisted it until Nero was dead on the ground and barely clinging to life.
But a white light stood in front of him with their hand out, not being able to tell the gender. Nero wanted to know what it was, but the voice just told him that he would be able to come back another day... another year... only if he agreed to it. Nero, afraid of dying himself agreed to this demand and felt his soul leave his living body and waited.
It felt like only an hour he waited as he sat on a bench. The wind through his brown hair, taking appearance from his original body. The white light came to him again and guided him to a set of doors. He was told he would be leaving and whatever happened, he would remember nothing until five years would pass. Nero was confused, but took the chance to accept all this person had done.
Opening his eyes once again, he could not speak, only cry. His eyes were filled with just light for right now until a woman he had no clue of was looking at him, whispering how cute her little baby was. He cried again until he felt his hand go upward and he saw it. It was a baby's hand. He was a newborn. No wonder why he could not do anything....
He could hear another say the date. The fifth of May. His birthday. But what was the year...? Year 2982.
What!?! His mind was boggled, his infant self crying. It was over 958 years since he had last been in this! What is this madness!?! He passed out before he could think any anything else.
As he grew up in this new body, Nero, which he was named in this life, was an observant little boy. Knowing nothing of the light before, the little one grew up oblivious to what was happening. He was told to go to Maelstrom when he was older, that was okay with everyone.
Five years passed. His eyes opened again. He talked to his mother like he would as if he was a thirty year old. Excited by this, his mother took him and enrolled him in classes for his class. He passed, some things being difficult since this was a whole new life for him. But it was still obvious enough to get through it.
But science had changed that was for sure, it was much different that what he was used to before hand.
Taurus. The Sign of the Bull. Nothing had changed with the Zodiac signs.
At ten, a woman whispered into his one ear and and a man in the other. They both spoke at the same time. “Angel, you are still out of place aren't you?” He nodded. “You'll understand your powers soon. Just focus like you did in your first time here. I think you'll find it much easier. But don't trust, and you won't get stabbed in the back again.”
Talking to his parents now, Nero asked to go to the school. Both were not too sure of it as his age, but with careful convincing, they allowed him to go when he turned twelve. Until then, he ran everyday, ate his meets until he was allowed to test and go into the academy itself.
O After the Academy:When he entered into the academy, he was already known to have the strength a Taurus possesses with some of the speed it does not. Unfortunately, he got into the rut that they fall into and began in having to figure out how to compensate for the lack of speed.
Unlike other Taurus students, he has figured out he is the best for taking hits for a while while still being able to pack a great punch, either through his weapons or his actual fists.
He still wants to ask teachers at his respective academy about his past and if it still will allow him to use magic, despite being a Taurus and relying mostly on strength. He wants to know due to the fact that before, he was able to conjure up a little bit of it... and he hopes to hell that it hasn't left him that easily because of being in a new body.
