[hider=ESL] Name: Ezio Salvatore de Lucciano Apparent Age: 26 Actual Age: 2,560 Gender: Male Height: 6'3” Weight: 220 Appearance: [hider=This Guy] [img] http://img09.deviantart.net/9a22/i/2006/127/f/a/hooded_man_by_wphotography.jpg [/img][/hider] Bio(Two paragraphs, minimum): Ezio was originally born in what is now known as Sicily in a rather comfortable manor that overlooked the ocean. Life for him was grand. Everywhere he went he was guarded or under the watchful eye of a guard his father sent. He was taught multiple forms of martial arts and a few languages and from time to time would invite friends over for dinner. But he could never truly call them friends. They would last only eighty years or so before they would die and he would have to find a whole new set of friends. Despite this he enjoyed it and sooner or later he would be asked by his father to help him with work. Little did he know at the time that his father ran one of the largest underground crime syndicates the world had ever seen, The Mafioso. His father started him off with menial tasks involving “protection fees” from the lower end businesses that ran things like the strip clubs, bars, and things of the sort. A few rough bumps along the way but he managed and because he came out of it fine he moved up. This would continue for quite some time since his father wanted him to “learn everything that his associates do”. It was more for his son's understanding of the value of hard work and what it can bring you. It didn't take long for him to fully know understand the ins and outs of the business before his father would pass off the torch. But he had picked up a specific job that he learned to love, assassination. It had started with simple hits; people who didn't pay the fees, refused to pay fees, or flat out hightailed it out of sight. Bar owners who threaten to go to the cops and soon enough he moved his way up into offing enemy gang leaders and whatnot. Sadly, much to his father's misfortune, Ezio enjoyed it so much that he for quite some time refused to take the title Don. It had taken some talking from his father and his associates to get him to accept. Currently, he has taken up a large portion of the eastern seaboard and some of the midwest and then most of the old country, Italy. He is well known for being ruthless and has even gone on hits with some of the good fellas. Personality: Among the vampires he has earned himself the moniker “Whisper of the Night” thanks to his high-speed maneuvers and evasion tactics from when he was an assassin under his father's regime so he tends to come across somewhat cocky when agitated or angered, since he knows he can back it up. Outside of business, you would never suspect him of running such a organization with his cheerfulness and his kind (yet no longer beating) heart. He is quite friendly to those in the organization that don't know him personally such as new guys and has shown this through dinners he would use to welcome the prospects. However, despite this he is also quite cruel and vicious. Having been known to castrate and skin victims alive and other torture methods to those who cross him and has even taken out leaders and shot-callers of gangs who challenge him. Powers: -Bloodwork: This is a power that he had time to learn as an assassin, the ability to use his own blood as an ultimate offense. Though, it is exaggerated a bit. He can create weapons for combat but has never shown any ability of creating armor or shields from it, mostly do to his speed. Weapons are limited to, mostly to bladed weapons; axes, swords, daggers and things of the like. -Speed, Agility and Stamina: So far among his kind, he is considered one of if not “the” fastest even though it has been a debate among vampires. He uses this quite efficiently in fights and when it's time to leave the scene, however he will rarely leave the scene but instead hide in plain sight looking at the aftermath, like an artist after finishing their work. When it comes to fights, he can last pretty long. Dodging and weaving in and out of all attacks. But this has been proven to be false since his last fight almost ended in a tie. Enhanced strength: This is nothing like some of the rumors that have spread around the streets about a certain werewolf with massive amounts of strength. This is slightly more than enough to get by and has helped him a lot. Other: He enjoys parkour and running. Known to smoke a lot of cigarettes and occasionally “Mary Jane” but that is a rare occurrence since it doesn't really effect him, he just likes the smell. [/hider]
