[/PTab][PTab=Personality]
Nero is a person driven by purpose. While he was once a drifter, seeking out pupose in life, when he met his master, he thought he had found it. However, he did not find it until after his Master passed on. Once a soft, outspoken youngster with a heart of gold, he changed and became filled with dark thoughts and needs. While he still claims to do what he does for everyone's good, his personal anger, frustration and greed is what really drives him.

However, he is loyal to those who share his vision, or at least seems useful to get to where he needs to be. This illusion of friendship seems real, even to himself, but again, what really motivates him is a need to succeed. In combat, he focuses on magic and quick movement, using speed to chip away at the opponent, before finishing them off with grand magic power.
[/PTab][PTab=Appearance and Attire]
Nero stands at 6 foot tall, and is rather lanky in physique. His jet black hair is of medium length, and is kept swept back from his face. Due to extended use of the dark powers he grew to use, his eyes have begun to show signs of taint, the otherwise serene blue eyes sometimes flashing a bright yellow whenever agitated.

Clothing wise, he wears a tight sleeveless top, black in color, with a large, less tight collar, which he often uses to hide his face in. On the back of this top is his old Master's Insignia, resembling a Goats head within a circle. On his hands, he has a pair of short, black, fingerless gloves, and his pants are black as well, large and bagged, though tighten around the ankles to allow movement. His feet are covered in steel toed boots.

[/PTab][PTab=Backstory]
Nero was born within the capital of light, Radian Garden. While he was a gentle soul, who seemed happy and with a heart of gold, he was without purpose. His parents were simple merchants, but he did not wish to walk in their footsteps, feeling awkward whenever he had to help out in the store. Shy around people, it was not his forte to work with them...

However, when he turned 15, he met his future Master, the Keyblade Wielder Hel. It was a chance meeting, really, though Nero will claim that it was fate who brought them together. It happened as the boy was doing errands for his parents throughout town, when an explosion nearby toppled him over. Looking up, he noticed a flash of light, then blinding darkness. Getting up, attempting to run from the scene, he was stopped in his tracks by a creature he had never seen before, but that he would later learn had been a Neoshadow - a Heartless.

Scared, he stepped back, falling over himself, and as the Heartless leapt at him, he thought he would die. Just then, another flash of light, and the Heartless was destroyed in one fluid movement of a mysterious woman, who was now standing above him. She held out her hand to him, and asked if he was okay. Taking the hand, he pulled himself up and merely nodded. The woman, who introduced herself as Hel, asked him to seek cover, before darting off against a mysterious hooded figure...

He did as ordered, but watched the fight unfold before him from the shadows of the buildings. The two seemed evenly matched, but eventually, the hooded figure vanished through a dark portal. Hel fell to her knees, exhausted, though soon enough she pulled herself together and ran off, just as Nero was about to go see if she was alright.

From that day on, he had a purpose. Every day, he would train with a wooden sword fashioned to look like the strange, Key-like blade used by Hel and the hooded figure. He later learned it was a Keyblade, a marvelous weapon of immense power. He began feeling a desire to hold the weapon in his hand, for with that much power, he could surely save the world from the civil war that raged beyond the walls of Radiant Garden.

During his 20th year of living, he met her again.

It was chance, or maybe a pinch of fate, that he would see her on the marketplace that day. She was cloaked, but he recognized her face as their eyes met over the counter, where he was helping out with his parents shop, despite hating it. When the blue eyes of the young man, and the brown of the slightly older woman met, time stopped for a moment, or so it seemed. The woman then hurried off, but this time, Nero was not gonna let her get away...

That was the day he became her apprentice, and also the day he fell in love.

However, there would be no love between a master and apprentice, which pained the young man every day, when Hel took him practicing. He looked at her, longed for her, but he knew she would never reciprocate his feelings. Two years went by like that, before it happened... During a training session, they suddenly got surrounded by Heartless. Nero, not yet able to summon his Keyblade, was a siting duck, but Hel managed to protect him.

Then, from the shadows, the man he had seen seven years prior appeared, challenging Hel to a duel. They fought, but this time, Hel was the weakerone. Eventually, she was struck down. Seeing all this unfold before him, Nero screamed out in anger and agony, his Keyblade materializing in his hand. Attacking the man recklessly, making use of the man's weakened state from fighting Hel to turn the battle in his favour. Eventually, he sent a blast of Dark Fire hurling into the chest of the hooded figure, finishing him off.

Falling to his knees, the young man heaved and fought for his breath, and eventually, people gathered, and as he passed out, he was taken away.

From then on, Nero changed. He became obsessed with finding Kingdom Hearts, which he had heard stories about from Hel, in order to "fix the world"...
