[color=9e0b0f]Sexual orientation:[/color] Heterosexual [color=9e0b0f]Personality:[/color] Lonely would be a good word to describe Darius; he doesn't really trust anyone and prefers to refrain from participating in social events. He has also built this "persona" who lives by the motto "If you kill them first, they don't have a chance to hurt you" which has gotten him into a lot of trouble in some situations, by the way. Darius likes to act tough and pretend like he doesn't care about anything, and he does this as some form of protection. This stems from having lost both his brother and his allies some time ago and him being broken down on the inside, so to avoid any further sadness he just doesn't make friends. He likes being sarcastic in any and every situation (don't get him confused with a jokester, though). Darius loves to hurt, or even kill those who think themselves above everybody else and act like some sort of "tyrant". Fear has always been present in Darius' life and it has always "run it" (if you will); there are many places and many people he's avoided getting mixed up with because he is afraid, and even the situations he does get into, he fears, and this has been the hardest part of his life: to be afraid all the time. As a consequence, he likes making his victims fear him so he can get a quick moment of satisfaction before slicing their throats. [color=9e0b0f]Bio:[/color] Darius was born on the street, to parents he never got the chance to meet, since they were killed by someone they owed a lot of money to. So there he was, with his older brother Sam, trying to survive. During the first couple of years of his life Darius' brother took good care of him; he'd get food for him, find clothes, and sometimes even a shelter, and that was good enough for Darius. That was until he turned eight, when the people who killed his parents decided to go back for more. It all happened so fast that Darius couldn't even react: his brother pushed him into a random building and told him to run just before closing the door. Gunshots could be heard from the other side of the door as Darius ran, not thinking about anything other than his big brother, hoping that he could have somehow survived. That's how he spent the next five years of his life; running whenever the men who killed his brother started to catch on to his trail, until he found a group known as "Unidentified" for their tendency to never be, well... identified or known of. The encounter was something he'll remember for a long time: as he ran into an alley, three people jumped him and attempted to slit his throat but he managed to fight back just barely, but enough for the leader to take some interest in him. After he was taken into the group, he was taught how to fight and the art of disappearing, which he proved to excel at. Together, Darius and the group got a lot of kills and stole a lot of money, but something seemed wrong: why did the people who killed Darius' brother stop going after him? This question troubled Darius very much but he couldn't concentrate on that since he had many tasks at hand. This uncertainty began developing an unusual fear within Darius, as he didn't know if he might get attacked when he least expected it, so he developed a fear of those he didn't know and a strong distrust of everyone around him. Life continued as normal: Darius would go out and do jobs with his "comrades" every day and he'd live very well, he even learned how to hack decently and got his own claw-blades and learned enough to excel in throwing knives and in using his claw-blades. That all ended when he turned 14 though; he was going on a mission to assassinate some group of lowlifes who stole money from a member of the group along with the rest of his comrades, which is where it all went wrong. It was a set up ambush where the men who'd been trying to kill Darius for the past five years ran in and slaughtered his friends; he would've died as well, if it weren't for the fact that he had fallen behind due to some dead-beat scum jumping him along the way and him having to deal with the man before being able to catch up with the rest of the group. Once he arrived at the scene, he was completely broken and without purpose. He spend two years hiding and only moving out of his home to steal food or clothing that he desperately needed. The times he went out, however, weren't without their problems; one time he'd seen a man next to him lower himself to pick something up that looked like a gun so Darius sliced his throat and ran away, never knowing if the man was innocent or not but he didn't care. He'd keep having instances like these which earned him a bad reputation among law enforcement, which had threatened and attacked him a couple of times for what he did, but his resolve did not waver and he continued to do it, time after time. A week or so ago, he managed to gather information on the men that ambushed his comrades that night, so long ago, and decided he'd get revenge for them and his brother. Darius got his claw-blades and throwing knives and put on his cowl before moving out; it was a long walk but he made it to the safe house where those monsters were. Using his hacking experience, he cut the lights to ensure success, Darius then swiftly got rid of the guards with good throwing knives to the throat and sneaked in through the windows. He quickly dropped down onto one of the men, and slit his throat, to ensure he wouldn't make a sound. Darius quickly made his way to another man, and then another until the men finally caught on and grouped together to attempt to fight Darius; the boy saw no choice other than to rush at them silently and mow them down, slicing them open and apart with his claw-blades until no one was left alive but Darius. The news got out with headlines reading "Ten men found dead in safe house, young man suspected of the crime" and "Could the boy police have chased for so long have killed these men?" circulating the news. This caught the attention of The Embrace, as those men worked for a powerful business man, which only helped make the news more viral. This is how he was found. [color=9e0b0f]Other:[/color] -Darius doesn't know how to speak too well since he never properly learned but can speak well enough for people to understand what he's trying to say. -While his left claw-blade is made from normal steel, his right claw-blade is made from a powerful, near-indestructible alloy and seems to carry an unknown poison, that, while not deadly on its own, can mix with the poison his throwing knives carry to make for near-instantaneous death. -The poison carried by his throwing knives isn't deadly on its own but extremely painful; so painful, in fact, that one of the guards he killed the night he raided the safe house died from the pain before his injury had the chance to kill him. -The reason the poisons are kept on separate weapons is because, without blood being present, both can't survive together.
