Nero

Name: Nero Otto
Nickname: Nero
Age: 25 (Appearance) / 600 (Actual)
Gender: Male
Squad: 2
Rank: 7th seat
Weapon(s): -
Personality: Nero is mostly friendly to anyone, as he never
underestimates anybody, or unsees them due to the difference of level
between them or Nero. There are of course some exceptions, for example,
hollows (obviously), and humans with corrupted personailities. He
especially hates the ones hungry for power, or the ones with
merely satanic personalities. That is because when Nero was alive, he
has seen and fought tons of them, making him want to never see one
again. He is protective over his friends, comrades, or innocent souls.

He thinks highly of all other Shinigami, except the unseated shinigami who think too highly of themselves, or any shinigami who underestimates anybody else. He sometimes cares more about the look or quality more than quantity. Meaning he can choose a better looking item instead of a more useful one. That's why he became the 7 seat officer in the first place. He could become an officer with a higher rank, but he thought 7 was a cooler number than the ones higher.

Physical Appearance:

Spoiler:

Nero is seems to be 1.85m tall. What unique to him about his appearance are his white spiky hair, white eyes, and war paints, remained from his life as a human. (Three stripes in both the left and right sides of his face, placed on his cheeks) He wears a long white cloak over his usual Shinigami outfit, which has signs and symbols on it, most reffering to the clan he fought for when he was a human. He has fingerless gloves that match his cloaks with the signs on them, and their color and wears boot-like shoes instead of the usual ones most shinigami wear. His pants are too, different from the ones most wear, it is white and has black signs on it, which also, as the ones on his cloak, reffer to the clan he belonged to when he was a human. Lastly, he wears a black headband, with a metal protector in the front of it.

Bio: Nero was born into a world in war. He was the son of the leader of one of the two clans, which had a relationship of eternal rivalry. The Otto clan, who where known for being skilled in melee combat and their special melee combat art, (which was also the clan Nero was born into) and the Shi clan, known for their archery skills and each of their member being very stubborn and loyal to their clan. Nero's father was the leader of the Otto clan. He was also the most skilled warrior. That's why Nero was raised to be a warrior as well. The war was tense and it was endless...

Nero couldn't spend any time with his family because his mother died when Nero was just a baby, and his father was always in the frontlines of the battlefield, as he was one of the few unreplaceable members of the army that belonged to the clan. Nero was the most times within the borders of the area that belonged to the clan, training and training, becoming stronger and stronger day by day, in order to become as strong and one day, take his father's place... And he did, but much sooner that he had ever expected.

By the time he was 25, his father died in a one on one duel with the
leader of the Kajin clan, the clan that was the eternal rival of Otto. The equal strength of the two clans was proven once again, as the leader of Kajin has died too. Nero, who had no time to cry for his own father's death, was fastly madde the new leader. The son of the former leader of the Kajin clan also became a leader. The two sons, emerged in a battle, for the first time in their life ever facing the rival clan. They were both very skilled, so their lack of battle experience was hard to be seen. In the middle of a huge battle, both the armies feel back to make an agreement. The leaders were going to fight in a one-on-one fight to death. This war was going to be the last war between the two clans. Both leaders agreed. That's when Nero first met Naito... Naito Kajin, the son of the Kajin clan's former leader. His psycothic personality and reasonless madness could be seen from his eyes...

Ironically, they both died fighting each other, just like both their fathers did. The only thing further known was their last words. Naito's last words were these: "We have lived as enemies... But upon death, there is no difference between us anymore...". Nero answered, he hated his rival as much as any human could ever hate another person, "No," he said, "There will always be difference between us...". And he was right. After arriving at Soul Society, the first thing Nero did was seeking his father... But of course, it was nearly impossible for someone to find someone they knew when they were alive in Soul Society... So, after some time, Nero finally accepted that and became a calmer sould than he was before...

Then one day a gossip was heard that Naito of the Kajin clan became a hollow and was hurting innocent souls. That turned Nero mad... His rival didn't stop madness even after that... It proved that his last words were true, he was never going to be the same as Naito. He wanted to be the one who gave Naito his lesson, and prove him he was right... So, he became a shinigami.

Inner world appearance:

Spoiler:

Nero's inner world consists of an endless sea and infinite islands on it in different sizes and shapes. The islands are covered with grass, and have multiple "obelisks" in different sizes over them. The obelisks are perfectly shaped as rectangular prisms. There is always a light mist over the whole world. Due to the mist, Nero can only see up to roughly 100 meters far from himself.

Zanpakutō

Name: Noroi
Zanpakutō spirit:

Spoiler:

Noroi resembles nero in many ways, including the war paints of three stripes in each side of his face. He, unlike Nero has black hair, and yellow eyes. His upper half is naked under the cloak he sometimes wears. He has black, fingerless gloves, that go up to above his elbow. He is talkative, and friendly. He doesn't like Nero not being able to do something he wants to ("he" reffers to both Nero, and Noroi). He gets mad easily, and hates losing.

Role-play sample:

Nero was in the emty area of the land that belonged to the Otto clan. He was training his skills of using his katana with one of his best friends, called Yoru. Yoru dashed towards him with his Tantos, shouting "I got you this time, Nero !". Nero clashed his katana with Yoru's tantos one by one, using him being faster as an advantage. "Not yet." said Nero, "Work harder...". He was going to continue to say something, but he heard a noise behind him.

When he turned around to his back, he saw a fellow member of their clan, a warrior, older than both Nero and Yoru... He was out of breath. "What happened ?" Nero asked to the warrior. The warrior couldn't answer for some other minutes, "There... There has been a fight..." the man said, "A fight in the war... A one on one battle between the leaders of the two clans...". Nero's pupils grew wider. "Father ?" he thought, but the words that came out of his mouth were "What... Happened ?". The man looked both scared and sad, he then answered, though it seemed that he hardly found the strength in himself to talk again, "They both...died..." he said...

Nero was shocked. "Father..." he said, "No, that is not possible... He has been in countless wars against the Kajin... And he didn't even get a scratch in the previous battles... How could he... Die ?". The man was scared, but he knew he had to answer the boy. He believed that Nero deserved a proper explanation of what happened. "The war got tense... The leaders had to join the battle with all their skills to end this war... They both realised that the two clans have had enough. They wanted to finish it for real this time... They emerged in a one on one battle in the middle of the battle area. But the 2 losses didn't solve anything... The war still goes on...".

Nero was shocked, but he knew he now had a bigger responsibility than before... "I can't afford to be shocked..." he thought to himself, "I must do what my father couldn't...". Nero then started talking, "Tell everybody to stop fighting..." he said, "I will end this for real this time...". The contact was made with the son of the rival clan. He accepted Nero's offer and the armies were withdrawn. Nero sent a letter to the son of the former leader of the Kajin clan, and offered him a one on one duel that was going to end the whole war between the two clans...

The agreement was that the winnig side was going to rule the other... And the two clan were never going to fight each other ever again... So, the son of the former leader of Kanji, Naito, and son of the former leader of the Otto, Nero emerged in battle. The fight between them took hours and at the end, they were both suffering from mortal wounds... Then they decided to do a one final blow that was going to show the winner of the fight. The blow took place... Both of the warriors were stabbed in their stomach... THen, their last words were heard and noted by both of the clans... Naito talked first, "We have lived as enemies... But upon death, there is no difference between us anymore...". Nero knew that the katana he stabbed into the boy's stomach was going to kill him, but he wanted to kill him again. That's how much he hated Naito. "No," Nero answered, "There will always be difference between us...". Their eyes closed almost at the same time.

The two clans returned to their home villages with the bodies of their former leaders and their sons. After that day, there was no more a rivalry between them, and also none of them had leaders... That tragedic day actually caused the clans to end up in a better future...
