A Katekyo Hitman Reborn! RP
✧Special thanks to Grey for providing some notes from previous RPs and helping make this OOC what it is and what it will be.✧


The Vongola Famiglia of Italy, the most powerful mafia family in the world, in terms of traditions, history, size and influence is said to be unmatched. Under its sprawling aegis are legions of families pledged to ideals of this underworld colossus, and across its long and storied history are all that the mafia can aspire to become as a force for good and for evil. On the toil of generations, its might has remained constant amidst the fickle ebb and flow of power.

This once noble mafia family no longer stands atop the mafia world. Though it has begun to reclaim its former glory, it is on the verge of internal and external destruction. Moreover, recent events have further challenged its former prominence. Under the nose of Vongola Quattordicesimo, a previously unknown force has begun to move. The Rilevare Famiglia, a militant mafia group who has amassed power rivaling that of the former Vongola, has made a name for itself by taking lesser families out from the inside. By crippling various families across the world, assimilating those that could be forced to pledge loyalty, and eradicating those that could not, it has quickly become a force to be reckoned with. 

With little to no information about the Rilevare available, there was little left for the remaining Mafia in power to do apart from prepare themselves for the storm that was to come. The growing forces and power of the Rilevare famiglia were unknown, though rumored to be on such a scale as to topple countries, though it is unknown if this is true or mere hearsay.

Pʀᴇᴍɪsᴇ
Reset! A Hitman Reborn is a roleplay set within the world of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!  primarily following the continuity of the manga with influences from the anime. Much like its source material, this roleplay primary possesses elements of modern-fantasy, action, and slice of life. It’s narrative will revolve around seven youths, the bonds they form, and the trials they must overcome throughout their journey. 

The setting of this roleplay will shift between a multitude of venues, the most prominent being Namimori and Kokuyo in Japan as well as Italy roughly 111 years after Sawada Tsunayoshi’s  ascent to power as Vongola X. As a result, the world of this roleplay is far more developed and modernized compared to its previous iteration. For example, Namimori has become a full-fledged city, rather than a town; Kokuyo has grown in size, but is still relatively small in comparison. The Vongola Famiglia is under the leadership of Vongola XIV and, naturally, most of the characters of the original series will not be making an appearance.

The player characters are each one of the seven potential candidates for the titles of Vongola XV and Guardians respectively. That said, they are far from considered valid candidates by the mafia at large. They will be starting with a wealth of potential and basic knowledge of the ways in which the mafia world works, but it’s intricacies and the possibilities afforded to them will be vast and mostly unknown. The intent is that the events of the roleplay will allow them to grow in power through struggles against hardship and the lessons they learn from those around them. Character sheets should be generated with this intention in mind, both in terms of character and skill set. 

Likewise, the guiding force for the plotline of this story is intended to be an equal balance of character and narrative. Although story arcs and key events will be planned out and enacted to drive the story forward, much like Katekyo Hitman Reborn! the roleplay is more about character interaction and development as opposed to beating up the bad guys. 

With the formalities out of the way, at its core this should still be about having fun. After all, a roleplay without fun is just another form of work. It is a collaborative effort and cooperation is key, so play never feel afraid to ask questions, present ideas, or anything of the sort.

Exᴘᴇᴄᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴs
All Fundamental Rules of the Guild apply, as well as all of the usual guidelines of RP etiquette: respect your GMs and fellow players; don't powergame, godmod, metagame, etc; communicate your problems and concerns; and so on and so forth. We've all been doing this for some time, we all know how this works. I trust you all to do what's best for development and story, know the capabilities of your character, and ensure that nobody feels unwelcome.
There are no hard rules as far post length or frequency goes other than the usual "no one-liners." That being said, I am implementing a soft one post per week rule to try and keep us moving and on track as often as possible. I understand that at times life happens and it might pull you away, but I’d like us to avoid stagnation as much as possible. As long as there is proper characterization and sufficient content to reply to, there shouldn't be a problem with briefer posts. and if there are going to be schedule issues, just let everyone know so we can make the necessary arrangements and we'll be golden. This should be done either through the use of the OOC on the guild or the group Discord chat. Do not make me chase you, and do not ghost us.
Typically, the GM is the one that sets the expectations and gets final say on all discussion related to the RP. While this holds true for most OOC conflicts, it should be clear that I'm willing to hear people’s arguments out as far as the IC and character ideas are concerned. Generally speaking, if an idea has merit to story and character progression, I'll hear it out; don't be afraid to point something out or suggest ideas if you feel the desire to.
I reserve the right to amend this section as necessary and as I see fit.
You are assumed to have read this section if you post a character sheet.

⥬ DATABASE ⥪
This section will be updated as more details of the setting are revealed ICly or OOCly.
State of the World

From a mundane perspective, recent advancements have become focused less on new, novel developments and more on making existing systems more efficient, effective and environmentally-conscious. Of note, robotics and medicine have experienced the greatest growth, the worldwide carbon footprint has been diminished significantly, and the military has finally managed to create a Mosca unit that runs on electricity rather than Dying Will Flames. It's only about as powerful as a Gola Mosca since the nature of Dying Will Flames and Box Weapons are mafia secrets protected by Omerta.

Meanwhile, the level of technology within the mafia tends to be a bit more inconsistent, especially among the upper echelons. This is understandable as most families prefer to keep the secrets behind their success to themselves; with recent developments, the need for this has only increased. As a generalization, the more powerful or science-oriented a family is, the more advanced their overall level of technology is. That being said, weaker families tend not to possess technology more advanced than what is available to the public.

However, despite this disparity, Box and Flame technology continues to remain an underworld mainstay. Their widespread nature ensures that even the weakest family can have access to them, their potency as weapons makes opponents without them a non-factor, and their customizability makes them easy to adapt to a given family member's tactics.

Despite the dominance of Box Weapons, using them requires the ability to conjure a Dying Will Flame from a Ring, meaning there is still a place for traditional mafia equipment in the hands of those unable to do so. Typically, the inherent ability necessary to power Boxes restricts their use to the upper ranks of a given family or squad leaders. Many organizations with the proper resources and connections, however, have become notorious for fielding an extensive amount of individuals with Rings and Boxes, even among grunt levels.

Following recent events, the underworld has remained in a constant state of flux. What once took the form of a stable hierarchy, has become a fragile peace  barely held together without the presence of an organization of the previous Vongola’s prominence. 

Open conflict has become the norm in the underworld with the loss of intervention of the once-implacable check and balance to the more unethical elements of the mafia. Every day more factions crawl out of the woodwork, more impromptu alliances are formed, and more lines are drawn and crossed as families fight to seize more power. Even the once powerful Vongola Famiglia is not above this power struggle, though its leader has taken a more subtle approach in his actions.

During these troubling times and the respective allegiances that those among the group possess, the Arcobaleno have maintained a neutral stance. The only exception is the Sky Arcobaleno, who stands at the head of her own family. That being said, many of these individuals have become less vocal within the mafia community, and some have not be seen or heard from in recent months. Rumors have begun to spread that some of them have been defeated or captures at the hands of an unknown force. Others say that they are being hunted and have gone into hiding. Nobody knows for sure. 

Among the Vongola Famiglia and its allies, past issues of balkanization among all parties (both in regards to inter-family and intra-family dynamics) have worsened recently despite the clear need for unification and stability. With the Vongola only recently having come back from the brink of destruction, it has been attempting to maintain a defensive stance against outside threats as it struggled to rebuild and recovery territory, assets and manpower. Still, there are those few who continue to maintain solidarity with the Vongola, but the unpopular tactics of Vongola XIV has made the family and allies alike leery.

With pressure mounting from all angles, the Vongola Famiglia is becoming more and more of a powder keg. Many have even come to question the saying that the Vongola always stands unified against external threats. Dark times seem to be on the horizon and one can only describe the current state of the underworld as the calm before the storm.

Organizations

The Vongola Famiglia

Tsunayoshi Sawada inherited the title of Vongola Decimo following the conflict with the Simon Famiglia. As the youngest Vongola Boss in the history of the family, only 15-years-old, and one raised as a civilian, his ascension was met with initial skepticism by the masses, despite support from some of the most esteemed members of the mafia community. All doubts to his capabilities as boss were quickly overturned, however, when a series of reforms he instituted resulted in a veritable golden age for not only the Vongola, but the mafia as a whole.

The Vongola Famiglia of this era took on a more active role in moderating the mafia activities, and true to the intent of Vongola Primo, prioritized the protection of those under its domain. By creating a stronger network with which to communicate and maintain strong ties and order. Under this newfound coalition of Mafioso, certain neutralities (areas considered neutral or safe zones) were established. And so, under this so-called "Pax Vongola", the mafia would experience a peace that would last until Tsunayoshi’s retirement at the age of 50. Still, despite the progress he’d made, with the end of Tsuna’s reign came an end of the long established peace he’d worked for. Thus, also marking the last time that the Vongola could be considered truly unified.

Following Vongola Decimo’s departure, Ietsugu Sawada took on the title of Vongola Unidicesimo. With a noble heart and an optimistic outlook he would begin to make questionable decisions leading the Vongola down the path of destruction. In trying to do more good, he enraged many long time, legacy, and older members of the Vongola, among others in the mafia world against the advisement of CEDEF leader Roberto Bernardello. Roberto tried to warn Ietsugu that his actions would lead to ruin, but he was determined to press onward. Unbeknownst to him, however, information began to surface regarding his actions which caught the attention of prominent mafia leaders. This information, whether true or not would speak concern that Ietsugu may have been breaching Omerta. 

An investigation had been launched in order to clear Ietsugu’s name, but all evidence proved circumstantial and wasn’t enough to disprove allegations against him. As such, various families began to leave the coalition, cutting ties with the Vongola. Things weren’t looking good. The boss was suspected of breaking omerta, members were splintering off into factions, and the traditional Vongola unity was beginning to crack. Ietsugu’s struggles proved fruitless and soon his head would be called for. In the midst of the chaos, news of the Vongola’s instability was made public widespread attacks on its territories and assets commenced. In response, his Sun Guardian Valentina Suzuki urged him to step down for fear of his life, or so he thought. Fearing for the inevitable, he left his position, but not before appointing Amelia Terrazzo as his successor. 

Amelia had made spent time heading up countless missions which put an end to various sex trafficking rings. She had also used money to help fund various organizations to help the victims. She was of noble heart and would carry on his father’s legacy. Ietsugu would be satisfied and the quicker he could leave, the better. Then, he and some of his loyal followers could weed out the leak. However, it was not as simple as he’d hoped. 

Roberto Bernardello chose his own candidate, his daughter Fabrizia Bernardello. Roberto had no doubt that his daughter would win, and once she did he, and the ones really calling the shots could begin to take control of the Vongola. Nobody would be the wiser. Amelia’s group is ill-prepared for the brutality that Fabrizia and her guardians attack with during the Ring Conflict. Amelia is left comatose (supposedly in a top secret Vongola facility), her Sun guardian suffers nerve damage to his left leg and right arm, her Cloud guardian is left paralyzed from the waist down, her Mist, Lightning, and Rain guardians go into hiding following hospitalization, and her Storm guardian is killed. Despite his disappointment in the outcome, Ietsugu retires after roughly 14 years as boss and Fabrizia inherits the position of boss, accepting the title of Vongola XII. 

As Vongola Dodicesima, Fabrizia is little more than a figurehead, using her newfound power to restructure the family at her father’s behest. It becomes far more militant, and while unable to reclaim much of the land already lost during Ietsugu’s reign, she puts a halt to further loss. From the shadows Roberto pulled the strings though it was unclear if the decisions were his own or that of a third party. On the forefront Fabrizia led the charge without question until she met Sofia Mangione. Sofia would eventually become her lover and conscience. At first, her presence was deemed inconsequential, but when Fabrizia began to make decisions that didn’t fall in line with the plans of her father, he became enraged. Fabrizia was no longer working to forcibly expand, acting with far more leniency and mercy, and was pulling away from his grasp. 

Sofia had become a problem and this could not stand. So, Roberto went to Valentina who’d been helping unknown figures pull the strings from the start. Sofia was marked for death and when she was killed Fabrizia went on a rampage. Having falsified evidence to help further their goals, Valentina and her silent partners gave Roberto everything he needed to point his daughter in the direction of the upstart Verdino Family. The attack that followed would go down in history as the Verdino Massacre; those fortunate enough to survive would go underground. 

Following the Verdino Massacre, a tape surfaces of Roberto killing Sofia. Taken aback, he denies having anything to do with it, but can offer no proof. Overcome with grief, shock, and betrayal, Fabrizia spirals and becomes unable to lead the Vongola properly. In a fit of rage, her Storm Guardian, Alexander Dubois, attacks Roberto and the two battle for roughly two days, leaving a trail of destruction across Italy. Alexander returns to receive treatment claiming victory, but Roberto’s body is never found and thus his death is unconfirmed. Speculations surface, but no answers.

Following Fabrizia’s 25 year stand as boss, rumors of a curse began to rise within the mafia community. The Vongola were cursed, and the bosses were destined for misfortune of some kind. However, There were few who would want to accept the title even if Fabrizia was in a state to make the decision herself. As such, the new head of CEDEF, Melodica Silva, advised her on a candidate. The title of Vongola Tredicesimo would go to Lorenzo Baratta. Lorenzo had already built a reputation for himself within the Mafia community and the Vongola. He would also follow the advice of Melodica without question. It was the perfect candidate to continue the agenda of those in the shadows after Roberto had begun to stray from their path. 

Lorenzo observed the advice given to him and acted accordingly. Slowly, the Vongola began to reacquire some of the territory and assets it’d lost though in small amounts. It is possible that had he continued to follow orders Lorenzo would have made an amazing long time pawn. However, as he grew more confident in his abilities, he attempted to escape the control of what he would soon dub the “Shadow Vongola,” but to little success. It was true that they would not move so brazenly so as to avoid the public’s eye, without their orders he began to make decisions that would lead the Vongola deeper into ruin. He began to pour money into secret projects, cut deals and negotiate for help beginning to leave the Vongola indebted to various other Mafia organizations. The Vongola made various technological strides, but the results did not outweigh the costs. The Vongola debt began to grow and outrage within the family grew.  In his 7th year as Vongola Tredicesimo he begins to crack under the pressure, unable to correct his mistakes. So, he chooses a successor, Nico Ruggiano. 

Nico had spent years studying, had earned multiple degrees, and had built a reputation as one of the most strategic business minds in Vongola history. Left with a Vongola in possibly the worst state it’s ever been in, his leadership would be needed in order to get them to a better financial state. However, Melodica soon chooses her own candidate in order to remove Nico in favor of a more easily manipulated boss. Nico competes, unfavorable though the scenario may be, and wins by the skin of his teeth. He is forced to rely primarily on the combat skill of his guardians as his strategic minds doesn’t translate well to combat. 

Even so, he ascends to the position of Vongola Quattordicesimo. He is approached many times by Melodica urging him to listen to her in order to save the Vongola, but he continues to work according to his own will. However, when even long time allies such as the Bovino and Chiavarone begin to contemplate abandoning the family members call for more immediate action. Nico responds in kind beginning to network, and make deals with the heads of other mafia families. The Vongola takes on role akin to that of mercenaries, performing various escort missions, assassinations, and more until they clear their debts. From their, Nico begins to shift their business model to a more independent self-sustaining mafia oriented one. With the crippling debt gone and new (and renewed) bonds with various mafia families the Vongola is finally able to see progress, though it pales in comparison to its former glory. Even so, this does little to quell tensions among the members of the Vongola. Previously established factions remain more divided than ever. His progress does not meet the outlandish expectations and the family begins to teeter on the brink of civil war.

Seeing this, Nico decides to choose a successor. One who’ll serve the role of a mafia boss better. So, he calls upon a, previously underutilized, group that over time had quickly become one of his most valuable assets: The Simon Famiglia. Though small in number, the members of this family are entrusted to search for and bring forth a potential future boss with the blood of Vongola coursing through his veins. The Simon famiglia works with discretion and soon brings to Nico’s attention a number of possibilities. He visits each candidate, most located in Italy until finally he has to take time to travel to Japan. He visits a small, young family residing in the town of Kokuyo. It is there that he meets a young woman, and her two children Yoshiaki and Ami. Within this woman, these children, lied the blood of Vongola. It was during this exchange that Nico made his decision. He requested that Simon XIII Akihito Kozato assign one of his guardians to watch over the family as he was interested in it’s growth. 

Akihito agreed and assigned Manuel Robino to the family. They’d be under his watch as the Simon Forest Guardian. Over the course of his time watching over the family, he would come to decide that for all his fault, Yoshiaki would prove to be the boss that Nico wished to succeed him. Though this decision would do nothing to appease the factions crying out against Nico’s snail’s pace progression. The Vongola was reaching its boiling point and with the induction and training of a new, inexperienced group of relatively unknown children, it was unlikely that its new leader would not face opposition. 

And so, the story continues.

Bio

CYRIL LEGGIERI

"Everyone hurts you at times. You just gotta find someone worth suffering for."

P E R S O N A L I A

"My mother says I should forgive my enemies. Where's the fun in that?"

//A G E
Sixteen years old.

Height: 5'7

Weight: 146 lbs

Hair Color: Black, but looks dark brown in direct sunlight

Eye Color: Hazel

Complexion: Olive

Body Composition: Lean

Additional Information: Cyril's hair is a little longer than usual. It reaches past his hears and to the bottom of his neck. He has a crooked that he earned from engaging in street fights around Namimori. Cyril tries his best to look presentable in public, but can sometimes be seen with a disheveled appearance when he is too lazy to tidy himself up. He's often seen with a ribbon around his neck (as seen in the picture).

//P E R S O N A L I T Y
At first glance, one may consider Cyril abrasive, if not overall hostile. He betrays little to no emotion, save for the irritated expression that he often wears. He always seems to antagonize people; Cyril constantly points out their faults and mistakes in a pointed fashion. People think he likes to pick fights, and rightfully so-- he just looks the type of person to enjoy street brawls. Cyril isn't the type of person to put up with, as he puts it, "bullshit". He always finds a way to get his point across. If words don't work, then fists will. In reality, Cyril is honest-- brutally honest, at that. He believes that stating the truth outright is better than sugarcoating. It gets the point across better. Such an opinion has earned him enemies. Due to this, it's difficult to become friends with him; he is a victim of his self-induced isolation. Despite everything, Cyril tries his best to remain level-headed. He tries to solve his problems with words, however hostile they may be. It is only when he runs out of patience that he becomes violent or aggressive, even towards his friends. 

Those who are close to Cyril find that he is a more bearable person than he lets on. He still has his snippy, dry-cut attitude that can easily get on people's nerves, but he reveals more of himself once he gets comfortable. When calm, he has a relaxed, almost mellow temperament that can be confused for a distant personality. Earning Cyril's trust and confidence is difficult, but once you do, he knows you'll be fine in one way or another. He is also quite lazy when he wants to be and somewhat of a pretentious prick due to his upbringing.

//B A C K G R O U N D
To put it simply, Cyril is the eldest son of Cassio Leggieri, thus making him the next in line for the rights over the Leggieri Famiglia. Frightened for Cyril's well-being, Cassio sent him and his mother to live in Namimori when Cyril was only seven years old. There, he would be safe from any enemy that may wish him harm. While the sudden move took a toll on Cyril, he quickly adapted to the new school he went to, and found one or two friends among his classmates.

Not everyone was pleased with Cyril's presence at school. A couple of older, meaner kids found his presence at school a nuisance. They called him a foreigner, knocked his books to the floor, and heckled him from afar. It was when Cyril was ten that the bullying became physical. Cyril's friends avoided him, fearful of what could happen to them if they remained his friend. Despite Cyril's pleading to go back home, his mother told him they were staying in Namimori for good.

Cyril began to skip school. His grades dipped. He stopped caring about getting good marks. On top of everything, he released his frustration on younger, weaker classmates. He started to bully and fight. At the age of thirteen, he was widely regarded as one of the school's major bullies. He was known for taking food from those who couldn't protect themselves-- and it was difficult to protect oneself from Cyril. Once he wanted something, he got it. 

He became a little more mellowed-out when he got older. He still didn't care about school or grades, but Cyril had gotten tired of constantly fighting. Bullies no longer viewed him as a direct threat, but others saw him as a sleeping bear that shouldn't be poked. Teachers saw him as a lousy, lazy student that was frustrating to deal with. He did poorly in group projects and had only a handful of friends. Every time he left school, he locked himself up in his room. All he did was eat, sleep, and eat video games. For him, things were going alright.

Up until people showed up and said that he was chosen to become part of the Vongola Famiglia. At first, Cyril wanted nothing to do with mafia. But, after seeing they really wouldn't leave him alone, he submitted to their demands and is now considered Vongola Quindicesimo's Storm Guardian Candidate. 

P A R A M E T E R S

"You're not worth my time."

Storm

//A B I L I T I E S
Vigilant -  His mother's always told him to keep an eye out. Cyril takes it a little too far. It's very difficult to catch him off guard, much less ambush him in a battle.

Near-Perfect Stalker - Cyril knows exactly how to tail someone without getting caught.

Ears of a Hawk - An almost natural eavesdropper, Cyril can pinpoint distinct conversations in a crowded room. He can also understand most of what a person says when they whisper or grumble under their breath.

//E Q U I P M E N T
Knife - Small pocket-knife used for everyday use. It can also be used for very basic combat. If it takes a decent blow, it'll snap.

Chain - A chain that isn't too heavy. Can be used for long-ranged and short-ranged combat. When Cyril wraps it around his hand, he can deliver quite the punch.

Box Weapon - Kusarigama - With Cyril's kursaigama, he's able to penetrate most defenses he encounters. The ball chain at the end is used to restrain his opponent, but its the blade that disrupts and cuts through flame-based attacks and defenses. Once again, he can use the kursaigama up close and from far away.  It extends and retracts easily. 

Box Animal - Aquila Tempesta - A golden eagle which Cyril affectionately calls Iggy, or Ignazio. Its wing and tail feathers can be pelted at a target to cause massive damage. Using its flames and dive-bombing strategies, it can disrupt attacks effortlessly.

ĸυrυne мιĸazυĸι (三日月 狂音)

"Fascinating. Won't you show me more of your reactions?"

P E R S O N A L I A

"Conspiracy? Nothing of the sort, really! Just plain curiosity, you know?"

//  A G E
18

//  P E R S O N A L I T Y
Kurune hardly displays strong emotions to anyone, but on the inside she's still a human fully capable of feeling emotions normally. In fact, Kurune is extremely sensitive and over-analyses situations. She's also very receptive to new things and does not deny anything that's considered 'unscientific', because she's fairly into the occult and superstitions herself. To her, anything is possible and can be explained. She isn't the type to fear the unknown and supernatural. Quite the contrary, she seeks such excitement and thrill in her life. That being said, however, she dislikes attracting too much attention to herself, hence is subtle in her pursuit of the unnatural and unconventional.

On first impression, one would describe Kurune as quiet, nice and smart, mostly ambiguous traits. For people who have known Kurune for an extended period of time, they would often bring up the topic of 'unpredictability' when talking about her. Kurune builds an invisible fortress around herself while putting up the act of a friendly person. In the end, the most lasting impression people do have of her is that she is a 'nice person'. She likes to keep a low profile anywhere and for anything she does. Due to her mental conditions, she had always felt that no one understood her, and learnt that she only got hurt every time her hopes and wishes that people would understand her were crushed. As a result, she learnt to distance herself from people unnoticeably as a form of self-defense. Being so distant, Kurune feels lonely ever so often, yet is more than unwilling to share her true self with anyone, afraid and paranoid that her weaknesses would be exploited by others. One positive side of distancing herself and keeping a low profile, is that her existence to others is rather expendable. In other words, she is quite the invisible character to others in her life. She could cause a ruckus one day, and the very next day people can still forget about her existence. Convenient, isn't it? Currently, her highly sharpened morphing skills caused her outward personality to be extremely fluid and generic, but her true self still exists- it simply lies in deep slumber within her. She loves meddling in others' businesses when she deems it will benefit her. When she sees the chance to gain favor from someone, or the chance to make others owe her favors, Kurune makes the effort to grab the chance and help those people. This is relevant to her hobby of studying people where on a daily basis, she observes and experiments with all sorts of people that she gets acquainted with, so as to collect data and information about how different people react to things. Kurune loves asking for favors and in a way that for some reason, she is always on the receiving end and getting away with only having to return simple favors.

On a deeper level, Kurune suffers from OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). The two do not affect her outward behavior very much, but they heavily shape her personality. To summarize, the obsessive thinking and intrusive thoughts that constantly attack her mind, and the ADD which causes her to drift off into her own thoughts every other moment, combine to make her into someone who is always overworking their brain. Hence, Kurune had formed the habit of calculating all sorts of combinations of people and their reactions, situations and their progressions, actions and their motivations behind them. Instead of being resentful for having these disorders, Kurune is grateful for the most of it. She experiments psychologically on anyone she meets and pays close attention to the results displayed. Some may say that her personality is warped in a way, but to Kurune, it's "Just plain curiosity, really!"

//  B A C K G R O U N D
Kurune is a Chinese-Japanese mix. She was born in Kyushu, Japan and lived there with both her parents until the age of 14. Her parents were on terrible terms and she had never seen them being nice to one another since she was born. Her father was a tyrant. He had always abused his position as the breadwinner of the family to make her and her mother serve him as if he was the king. As a result, Kurune and her mother lived very unhappily while her father simply enjoyed life at its finest. Eventually, her mother decided that she was not going to put up with him any more and filed for divorce for both herself and her daughter's sakes. They got into one final, huge argument regarding the divorce and hurled furniture about, scaring the Kurune then. Eventually, the ultimatum was made and they divorced. Kurune's father wrestled with her mother for the custody of Kurune, but the mental abuse he had done to Kurune was considered in court and sole custody of Kurune was given to her mother. At that time, Kurune was 14. Her mother felt apprehensive about remaining in Kyushu, so she took Kurune and returned to Namimori, her hometown.

Growing up watching both her parents hating each other down to the bones carved wariness into her soul. If her parents had gotten married on a good note, how did they not have a single shred of love for each other for as long as she lived? What exactly can she trust of the things that people show her? She deducted that it was impossible for 'true love' to exist, and that any romantic attraction people have are just temporary, passionate, instinctive desires. This made her learn that excessive emotions were just burdens and she trained herself to keep her emotions under control at any time.

Being naturally intelligent, she did extremely well in her academics for a few years in Midori Middle, a prestigious girl's school, and promoted to the sister high school of Midori Middle. However, the stress in the changed environment and her mother's increased expectations eventually got to her and her grades plunged with every examination there was. Unable to maintain her excellent grades, she had no choice but to transfer to a school with lower academic standards at the start of her third year in high school. Devastated by the seemingly hopeless future that they were going to have, her mother began to live carelessly and recklessly, drowning away in alcohol and in despair. With her mother in that state, Kurune has no choice but to work instead of her mother, and is currently the only one bringing in income for her family by taking up various part-time jobs.

Supporting Actor - Due to her habit of paying close attention to people and their reactions to all sorts of situations, she is well-trained to put on an all-round perfect 'act' comprising of more than just the sight, to trick and convince people into believing/perceiving something that isn't a truth. She is also trained in all sorts of skill sets in her pursuit of being able to play out all sorts of possible roles. Though her range of skills are definitely wide, her knowledge in each ones are not deep. 
(Examples of putting this into practical use in combat is creating/replicating extremely realistic illusions with ease and nearly instantly. What differentiates Kurune's illusions from another skilful illusionist's illusions is that she herself blends/plays perfectly into her illusions and hence enhancing them, making it difficult for others to even believe it's not reality.)

Fortune Teller - Combining her ability to anticipate all sorts of situations/behaviours, and her skill with her tarot cards, she can easily prevent driving herself or her allies into a dead end when encountering enemies, and she will for sure be able to make an unpredictable Plan B as many times as she wishes to.
(An example of putting this into practical use is that Kurune is able to notice both the big picture and tiny details and reads the battle flow very accurately. She is then able to combine her awareness of the situation with her wealth of knowledge from observing others, creating many possible alternative plans and escape routes in her mind during battle.)

Esper - Kurune possesses latent esper abilities. 

Hardcore Part-timer - Kurune has taken up countless part time jobs ever since her parents divorced in order to provide for her mother and herself. She doesn't stay at one job for too long, in order not to let others get too close to her and to make herself less noticeable. Because of her experience in countless different jobs, she gained many valuable skillsets, though she's not an expert in any single one. She's basically a jack of all trades, master of none. She grew to become someone who picks things up very quickly.

//  E Q U I P M E N T
Tarot Cards - Tarot decks that have accompanied her through the years that she uses ever so often to experiment. Kurune brings a deck with her wherever she goes and consults on them whenever she is in a pinch, or when her instincts tell her that something out of the ordinary is about to happen.

Folding Fan - A (collection of) folding fan(s). She keeps one with her wherever she goes, just because she has a weird obsession for them. They are mostly purple and consists of flower patterns such as the cherry blossom. Which design she brings along for the day depends heavily on her mood. After joining the mafia, she embeds long flat blades in the folds of her fan which can be thrown out. Used in combination with her illusions, the launched blades are offset in sight and by predicting the reactions of others, her blades are difficult to avoid.

Box Weapon: Souba - It's a double-bladed katana, the purpose of having two blades is for the user to easily trap swords between the two blades and disarm the opponent. Kurune has no idea how to wield it properly yet. She kept this box weapon with her because she wishes to learn how to use it properly one day.

Box Animal: Falena di Nebbia  - Depending on the flames Kurune injects, the number and quality of moths vary. Kurune's most common use of her mist moths is for scouting purposes. In combat, Kurune often uses a swarm of them to immobilize or obstruct the visions of the enemies. Usually, the amount and quality of flames injected is directly proportionate to the number and size of the moths. However, past a certain point, the number of moths will not increase even if Kurune adds to the amount of flames injected. When Kurune injects an immense amount of flames with a strong resolve, the shape and pattern on the wings of the moths change. Looking at the patterns on the moths causes hallucinations and psychological damage. Effects vary with different people.

Akari be done, yo.
AKARI RUSSO

"I strive to be the MVP, boss."

P E R S O N A L I A

”Wait, am I supposed to have a constantly sunny personality?"

//  A G E

//  P E R S O N A L I T Y
Akari is quite a casual girl with a relaxed demeanor most of the time. She can quickly get serious and function well in times of crisis. With mafia business, she'll be polite and respectful. She's a simple person, with simple ideals, usually detesting lies, betrayal and manipulation that doesn't directly benefit the Famiglia.

Her childhood and early teens as a Mafia kid had her instilled with old virtues - loyalty and honour mean everything to her - though she can be ruthless when required.

//  B A C K G R O U N D
Akari was born to an Italian father and a Japanese mother in Sicily, both with connections to an ancient mafia famiglia. The father was a soldato, a simple underling who would follow his orders diligently, without question, and respected the made men and the boss. The mother was keenly interested in the dying will flames and the mafia’s powers, and was a welcome hand in crafting gear for the members of the family. Akari’s young life was spent being home schooled, and slowly being introduced to the mafia world by her parents and mentors, and for a while it seemed like her whole life was set out before her. She’d learned a lot by the time she was a teenager, though none of it involved dodgy business, violence, or anything ‘nasty’... Not yet, at least. She could summon a bright yellow flame from the ring her mother had given her as a child, with enough practice and guidance. She was being taught how to shoot, and sometimes got into scraps with the other kids of the famiglia in good spirits. She was growing well, and might’ve become a valued member of the famiglia... if not for what came next.

One of the made men, close to the boss, started a purge one night as the town were in their beds. It seemed to have come out of nowhere, a civil war that ended in but a few hours at most. Akari’s parents were sided with their boss, who had been killed in the earliest stages of the bloody night. The loyalists that weren’t killed in their sleep rallied to try and at least take their vengeance on the boss’ killer, the man that’d managed to bring well over half of the famiglia to his side through subtle manipulations and machinations. The battles against these usurpers were hard fought, and whilst those loyal to their late boss were resolved and determined, they were ultimately put down, one by one. Akari’s father and mother would be among the loyal dead. The famiglia would be reformed shortly after, and become a member of the Rilevare...

Akari woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of chaos breaking out in the streets. Her mother and father were gone already, and she would never see them again - though she had no idea what was happening at the time. A woman entered the house, leaving Akari no time to take anything with her, save for the ring that she always wore. This lady was new in town, a professional hitman, and seemed to be friendly with Akari’s parents. Despite being dragged out of town in the middle of the night and shoved in a car, the girl was very compliant, with the reasoning that she’d be dead already if this woman intended it. The woman introduced herself as Hilda, an assassin, and revealed that she’d been after the man who had just taken over the famiglia back in Akari’s hometown. Though, as it was, the mission was a failure...

Hilda didn’t give Akari much time to grieve for her parents, or her larger family, stating that ‘it’s over’. She needed to relocate, and having Akari in her company gave her a pretty good idea of where to head... Before meeting her husband, Akari’s mother had lived in Namimori, with the surname Irie. Hilda would settle there with Akari for a time, and convince the girl to settle into a new life as a student, and forget the mafia. She agreed to the former, but not the latter... Hilda was thrilled to have a student, and over time, the hitwoman became almost like a motherly figure. Akari would keep up being a resident of Namimori, but her training would continue whenever Hilda was in town, and so she began to balance her two lives...

One lazy day, she found herself playing a video game online, and happened to be doing a good job at making all her enemies ragequit and cry! She'd gotten good in just a few weeks and might've been well on her way to become an addict... She was too good... Until she was placed against some guy from Kokuyo, the next town along, and suffered her first death in-game. She was shocked and stunned by this revelation that someone could keep up with her reactions, outwit her, and then have the nerve to say, "get good, scrub" over their microphone. She hated it. It took a few more bad plays before she could take revenge, and told him pretty much the same. The two argued, and... as stupid kids on games do, they started to mock each others families, each other, and the fateful "1v1 me in real life!" was dropped by both of them at the same time. And they did!

Half way between Namimori and Kokuyo, just off the highway, the two met. Neither of them gave the other much chance to speak, only exchanging their names and a threat or two before descending into a pretty violent brawl. As it happened, they were pretty evenly matched. Yoshi might've been stronger, but Akari was a little faster, but in the end.. both ended up on the ground, covered in dirt, scrapes and bruises. Having worked out their differences through a lot of punching, they were actually happy to say 'good game' in the end...

The two somehow put the incident behind them, with a kind of mutual respect. They talked a lot, with Akari taking an interest in his life in Kokuyo. It wasn't regarded as all that nice a place to live, with crime, delinquents and the like. Yoshiaki Sugihara seemed like he rose above it, however. He was on a roll, pulling the scrapping factions into his fold, bringing them together. He didn't act like it, but he seemed powerful, and he must've had some kind of natural ability to lead... The two parted ways, but had decided to stay in contact, keep playing together, and Akari would be sure to visit Kokuyo every few weeks to hang out with her only real friend...

Hitman-in-Training - Akari is an up-and-coming professional shooter, home tutored from her early teens by a real hitman. She has good knowledge of the mafia world, weapons, equipment, flames and their uses. With Hilda's guidance, Akari can fight with many a weapon, and has some good physical conditioning for combat, but her preference has always remained distance and firepower.

Technician - Akari is an avid tinkerer with the somewhat arcane equipment used by the Mafia. She enjoys pulling apart and rebuilding equipment to better understand it, constructing and modifying her own boxes and flame-powered gear.

//  E Q U I P M E N T
Dying Will Guns/X-Guns - Modelled after the same kind used by Xanxus, a legendary Varia Boss, but downsized slightly. These "X-Guns" are able to be fed with clips of bullets charged with flames, or with a ring on each hand, the wielder could fire them without the physical ammunition, though it could end up exhausting the user's flame if not used sparingly. Akari has a selection of bullets to choose from. Wax bullets for non-lethal use, real bullets for ending people, and a selection of mafia-crafted bullets, including but not limited to Dying Will Bullets. (Demon/Grey let me know what I'm allowed and not allowed - already noted Possession Bullet is a hell no!)

Flame Shoes - Akari uses a light, unarmoured variant of flame shoes, designed as knee boots.

Headset & Choker Microphone - Akari's comms gear is a standard headset used by the Vongola Famiglia for receiving traffic, connected to a wrap-around microphone for her neck for transmission.

Combat Knife - As can be imagined, it's a simple combat knife in a holster, usually strapped to Akari's right thigh. This is developed from the same material as the Dying will Bullets however, and as such, it is extremely difficult to break.

C-Class Sun Ring - The ring given to Akari as a child by her mother. It isn't that remarkable, only that the yellow crystal has silver engravings on it.

Box Animal: Lupo del Sereno - Akari's box animal is a deceptively cute wolf pup. It's a lovable, pleasant, fluffy bundle of joy. With its own will, it can heal others with physical contact, often resorting to licking their wounds or rubbing against them. Allies can also receive a slight healing factor from petting him or rubbing his belly whilst he radiates the healing factor of sun flames. Oh god it's just so cute!

However, these abilities can be amplified by 'activation', in which the pup will go through a very speedy maturity to reach the size of an alpha male wolf. Whilst it can still heal, it's now far less adorable, and far more threatening - it will support allies, or protect Akari as she sees fit, following her command.

Bio

Here are my two character sheets! Just putting it together so it's easier to look at. 

CYRIL LEGGIERI

"Everyone hurts you at times. You just gotta find someone worth suffering for."

P E R S O N A L I A

"My mother says I should forgive my enemies. Where's the fun in that?"

//A G E
Sixteen years old.

Height: 5'7

Weight: 146 lbs

Hair Color: Black, but looks dark brown in direct sunlight

Eye Color: Hazel

Complexion: Olive

Body Composition: Lean

Additional Information: Cyril's hair is a little longer than usual. It reaches past his hears and to the bottom of his neck. He has a crooked that he earned from engaging in street fights around Namimori. Cyril tries his best to look presentable in public, but can sometimes be seen with a disheveled appearance when he is too lazy to tidy himself up. He's often seen with a ribbon around his neck (as seen in the picture).

//P E R S O N A L I T Y
At first glance, one may consider Cyril abrasive, if not overall hostile. He betrays little to no emotion, save for the irritated expression that he often wears. He always seems to antagonize people; Cyril constantly points out their faults and mistakes in a pointed fashion. People think he likes to pick fights, and rightfully so-- he just looks the type of person to enjoy street brawls. Cyril isn't the type of person to put up with, as he puts it, "bullshit". He always finds a way to get his point across. If words don't work, then fists will. In reality, Cyril is honest-- brutally honest, at that. He believes that stating the truth outright is better than sugarcoating. It gets the point across better. Such an opinion has earned him enemies. Due to this, it's difficult to become friends with him; he is a victim of his self-induced isolation. Despite everything, Cyril tries his best to remain level-headed. He tries to solve his problems with words, however hostile they may be. It is only when he runs out of patience that he becomes violent or aggressive, even towards his friends. 

Those who are close to Cyril find that he is a more bearable person than he lets on. He still has his snippy, dry-cut attitude that can easily get on people's nerves, but he reveals more of himself once he gets comfortable. When calm, he has a relaxed, almost mellow temperament that can be confused for a distant personality. Earning Cyril's trust and confidence is difficult, but once you do, he knows you'll be fine in one way or another. He is also quite lazy when he wants to be and somewhat of a pretentious prick due to his upbringing.

//B A C K G R O U N D
To put it simply, Cyril is the eldest son of Cassio Leggieri, thus making him the next in line for the rights over the Leggieri Famiglia. Frightened for Cyril's well-being, Cassio sent him and his mother to live in Namimori when Cyril was only seven years old. There, he would be safe from any enemy that may wish him harm. While the sudden move took a toll on Cyril, he quickly adapted to the new school he went to, and found one or two friends among his classmates.

Not everyone was pleased with Cyril's presence at school. A couple of older, meaner kids found his presence at school a nuisance. They called him a foreigner, knocked his books to the floor, and heckled him from afar. It was when Cyril was ten that the bullying became physical. Cyril's friends avoided him, fearful of what could happen to them if they remained his friend. Despite Cyril's pleading to go back home, his mother told him they were staying in Namimori for good.

Cyril began to skip school. His grades dipped. He stopped caring about getting good marks. On top of everything, he released his frustration on younger, weaker classmates. He started to bully and fight. At the age of thirteen, he was widely regarded as one of the school's major bullies. He was known for taking food from those who couldn't protect themselves-- and it was difficult to protect oneself from Cyril. Once he wanted something, he got it. 

He became a little more mellowed-out when he got older. He still didn't care about school or grades, but Cyril had gotten tired of constantly fighting. Bullies no longer viewed him as a direct threat, but others saw him as a sleeping bear that shouldn't be poked. Teachers saw him as a lousy, lazy student that was frustrating to deal with. He did poorly in group projects and had only a handful of friends. Every time he left school, he locked himself up in his room. All he did was eat, sleep, and eat video games. For him, things were going alright.

Up until people showed up and said that he was chosen to become part of the Vongola Famiglia. At first, Cyril wanted nothing to do with mafia. But, after seeing they really wouldn't leave him alone, he submitted to their demands and is now considered Vongola Quindicesimo's Storm Guardian Candidate. 

P A R A M E T E R S

Vigilant -  His mother's always told him to keep an eye out. Cyril takes it a little too far. It's very difficult to catch him off guard, much less ambush him in a battle.

Near-Perfect Stalker - Cyril knows exactly how to tail someone without getting caught.

Ears of a Hawk - An almost natural eavesdropper, Cyril can pinpoint distinct conversations in a crowded room. He can also understand most of what a person says when they whisper or grumble under their breath.

//E Q U I P M E N T
Knife - Small pocket-knife used for everyday use. It can also be used for very basic combat. If it takes a decent blow, it'll snap.

Box Weapon - Kusarigama - With Cyril's kursaigama, he's able to penetrate most defenses he encounters. The ball chain at the end is used to restrain his opponent, but its the blade that disrupts and cuts through flame-based attacks and defenses. Once again, he can use the kursaigama up close and from far away.  It extends and retracts easily. 

Box Animal - Aquila Tempesta - A golden eagle which Cyril affectionately calls Iggy, or Ignazio. Its wing and tail feathers can be pelted at a target to cause massive damage. Using its flames and dive-bombing strategies, it can disrupt attacks effortlessly.

Okay, so I’m going to go through this as Grey and I did for each character. 

Now first and foremost, each character would need a reason to be in the Vongola. Why did they choose Cyril over other branch mafia families. Why Kurune when she is essentially a civvie. And why is Ari with them? Why does she know about mafia stuff? In the cases of Kurune and Cyril we could easily work out relationships with Yoshi that would serve this purpose.

More individually:
Kurune(@Kyouki) - Essentially, I like Kurune’s aesthetic. She is a good character with a lot of potential. Still, I have a few questions. How does her weaponry and skills play into her overall character? She seems to be fit for espionage or something not directly melee. I think in this case it may be necessary to focus her up a little bit. She was a civilian before, essentially just a normal person, so this is especially important. You can always enhance her skill set and equipment a little later. For instance, mist doesn’t feel like it plays a big a role in her character as it should. It doesn’t seem to compliment her character. We could also use a bit more clarification on the application of her skills, abilities, or weaponry, why she chose to focus on those, etc. 

Cyril(@Ambra) - Cyril is pretty much okay and there isn’t anything inherently off about him other than the redundant weaponry. He has a Kusarigama. He doesn’t really need the chain/knife at this point. I mean if you wanna just keep the knife as a side weapon, it could work. We also need to work more on his relationship (as well has his famiglia’s) to the Vongola as a whole, not just Yoshi. We can try to work on that together if you draw a blank, I’ve already brainstormed simple stuff. 

Ari -  For Ari, the biggest thing is essentially the why she would be brought in as a combatant and member when she isn’t a guardian. She should fit a bit more naturally into the group. Her character might benefit from a bit of focusing up in the combat department as well. You don’t necessarily need to remove anything depending on what changes you may make to her. There is a lot of freedom that comes with her because she is more a side character. 
Side note: Ambra… Is like Ari trying to be like Yoshi with them there gauntlets fam?? Cause he was reppin that first. Lol she cute tryin to get on his good side tho xD

Mist - I’m sure I don’t need to write this, but I will anyway. I’m trusting you guys not to abuse the power of mist. Apart from that, there seems to be a bit of overlap between Kurune and Ari. I feel that after looking them over and a little editing they could be a bit better differentiated. By the end, it should be clear why Kurune’s skills or talent would have her chosen as the Mist guardian.

Not 100% done yet, but here's the basic layout for her. Just gotta construct the backstory and think of some quotes

Caterina

"The Vongola is everything to me. . . and I will do everything in my power to protect it."

P E R S O N A L I A

""

//  A G E

//  P E R S O N A L I T Y
Caterina is, to put it lightly, two-faced. Most that interact with her find her to be very cheerful, kind, and generous to a fault. She seems to want nothing but the best for everyone and constantly tries to make friends with just about everyone she meets. She tends to refer from any mean-spirited behavior, aside from the little splash of sass and light sarcasm that she utters from time to time, but to most everyone, she meets Caterina is just an average cheerful young woman and the apple of her father's eye.

In truth, Caterina is much more akin to a cold businesswoman, every action she takes calculated and planned to get her the most benefit possible in any situation. Taking her father's words of "never letting people see the true you" to their utmost extremes, the young woman has spent almost every day of her conscious life building up an unarming, harmless persona to keep those around her in the dark about her own true intentions.

//  B A C K G R O U N D
Caterina was promised the world.

P A R A M E T E R S

"In times past, the Lightning guardians have focused on defending their compatriots in battle. I, however, plan to make it so our enemies fear to even consider taking up arms against us."

//  F L A M E
Lightning Flame: The Lightning Flame is known as the toughest flame due to its characteristic, Hardening. Lightning Flames can be employed to solidify and increase the firmness of objects. By themselves, the Flames can be used defensively by projecting a solid barrier and offensively by cutting like a sharp blade. It can also be used to electrocute like actual electricity.

//  A B I L I T I E S
Vongola Hyper Intuition - A blood trait passed down through the generations of Vongola Bosses. It determines the eligibility of a person in order to be able to succeed the Vongola, and has been described by the Arcobaleno Reborn as being "a power that could see through all." That being said, it is not perfect and can be fooled through powerful enough illusions. The abilities and functions of this innate ability have been widely speculated, but there is much uncertainty as to what individuals who have it may actually be capable of. It is a trait of many mysteries and few answers.

For Caterina, however, this mystical 6th sense of the Vongola bloodline is diminished as a result of the Harmony of Sky Flame not being present within her body. While the ability is still within her, it seems that she is unable to obtain it's full potential, at least through natural means. 

Skilled Dying Flame Wielder - Caterina, in particular, has shown great skill in using the solidification aspects of Lighting flames to great effect in varying up her attack styles in combat by creating temporary constructs of sorts. Whether it be turning her spear into a type of trident, creating a string to reel it back after throwing it, or even creating platforms through her Fiamma Boots to allow for better in-air maneuverability, she has proven to be rather skilled in manipulating her flames attributes, even if her way of doing so is rather unorthodox when compared to the typical Lightning wielder.

Agile Fighter - Caterina has trained to be an extremely agile and evasive fighter, using speed, flexibility, and unpredictable movements to assault opponents without ever taking a hit in return. She has also proven quite skilled in the field of acrobatics and parkour, able to move through almost any environment with ease and efficiency no matter what obstacles might be in her way.

Deceptive - Caterina has always been a bit tricky when it comes to her words, a trait that her father often tells her is inherited from her mother. While not necessarily a liar, the way she tends phrases things often leave room for . . . interpretation. She understands the power that lies within words and as a result, always chooses her own with extreme care and precision. This often makes her as elusive and hard to pin-down in conversation as she is in combat.

Multi-lingual In her strive to prepare for the role of Vongola boss, Caterina has been extremely diligent in her studies of language, as diplomacy is just as important an aspect of running a Famiglia as one's combat ability. As such, She can speak English, Japanese, and Italian fluently, as well as being competent in several other languages such as French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, etc.

//  E Q U I P M E N T
Box Weapon - Spear - While a spear seems an odd weapon for the Guardian of Defense, those that face Caterina will quickly find that she is more than capable of defending her allies, even if her way of doing so is by eliminating threats herself. An extremely offensive weapon, she can slash, pierce, and pummel her foes as she spins and twirls around them in graceful movements one would find just as suitable on a dancer as they would on her. Not only that but when you add her skill with Lightning Flames to the mix, you get a true force to be reckoned with on the field, whether it be by launching bolts of electrical destruction from afar, reinforcing the weapon to make it tougher and more effective via hardening, or changing its form and usage by manipulating the Solidification nature of Lightning to form simplistic constructs that allow her weapon an ever wider amount of versatility.

Box Animal- Serpente Fulmine(Medusa) - Medusa is a large python covered in shimmering emerald green scales, with a line of buzzing Lightning flames racing all along her body from head to tail. She proves to be the heart of Caterina's defensive abilities, often found coiled around the girl's body during battle to make use of its ability to create rather sturdy barriers of Lightning flame at will. These shields, known as Serpe Aegis, allow Caterina to be as gung-ho a combatant, making up for her own lack of a defensive weapon. that said, she isn't too reliant on it and is willing to command Medusa to assist others in battle. When fully uncoiled, Medusa is also able to create a much larger barrier that is extremely resilient to attack, even by Storm flames, but she must remain completely stationary when performing this maneuver. Not only that, but it is extremely tiring for the constrictor, and afterward, she is too exhausted to be used in combat.

Despite being a mainly defensive Box animal, Medusa does have some offensive capabilities, though they're only deployable when she is separated from Caterina. These include the use of Hardening on her own body in order to increase the strength of her natural Constriction ability as a Python, as well as launching bolts of lightning flame at enemies, though the latter is more of a harassment tool than something meant to actually hurt as the flames as they are now are rather weak.

Lightning Ring: Class C - A standard Dying Will Ring that she uses to channel her dying wil flames. 

Fiamma Shoes - A hi-tech piece of combat-foot wear that allows the user to fly through the air through the propulsion of Dying Will Flames from their soles. Caterina found them to be a natural fit for her more mobile fighting style. She had them specifically modified to make use of a steel-toe and rugged material to make them more useful in the heat of battle, the channeling of Lightning flames making them rather effective additions to her arsenal(especially against male opponents). She also makes us of solidification to, instead of shooting out a thrust fo flame, form a platform for her to jump off of, enabling sudden stops and quick redirections if needed.

Combat Knife - For those times when there just isn't enough room to use her spear.

Veronika Sokolov

"A blooming rose is best left be"

P E R S O N A L I A

"A rose has thorns you know"

//  A G E

//  P E R S O N A L I T Y
Veronika is one of the more studious people in her family. Despite this, she was treated as a oddball due to her obsession with research and her father’s reputation. When her status is brought up people are often surprised that others want to know about her due to her odd status. Her obsession with various “unwelcome” things was due to her status as a outcast and her lack of friends and understanding family growing up. Her lack of social skills stems from the main fact that she always had to worry about herself first rather than socializing with others. This and not being used to having friendly relationships makes her retort with harsh remarks when she often doesn't mean it.

//  B A C K G R O U N D
Veronika was born in Russia where she lived most of her life her father was a brilliant hitman by the name of Alexei. He was a skilled hitman who rarely failed his shots to the point he made many enemies. As such Veronika’s childhood was lived secluded with her tutors/nannies that he hired as he tried to do his best to make sure she was taken care of. She never knew her mother having died at childbirth but that mattered little to her her Father was there for her even if he wasn’t able to visit often. This was her life growing up while she was alone she turned her attention to things that caught her interest and those passions soon became a obsession of sorts she studied learned more. This made her even more of a outcast among the peers from her seclusive nature to her habit of diving into things to the point of near obsession which drove her away from others. To avoid being hurt she ended up secluding herself more as she turned more and more into her studies and research as they as a whole didn’t hurt her like her peers did. 

It was brief but Veronika faintly remembers a happier time when things wasn't as bad she had a friend or something that resembled a friend? She wasn't sure but it took a month of begging her father and he took her on a trip to Japan where she was placed under the care of yet another tutor. Though that was a magical moment as that tutor made her one day go out where she met a boy who would be her friend. While she doesn't fully remember his name she remembered his bull headed attitude and how he would drag to places to explore and play. The possible bullies was also quickly knocked down by him he was truly her knight in shining armor. She remembered a few times it was hazy but him running full into a river to rescue a puppy that turned out to be a toy. To a few other examples such as his grand idea to find lost treasure in the river these times she remembered briefly and though she was in japan for two years. Though she had to move back left them in a tearful farewell it wasn't well remembered but she knew that somewhere out there she had a friend and that thought was more than enough to keep her going. 

Her natural intelligence and her hardworking attitude made it where she excelled in her studies by the private tutors hired by her father. Having little reason to interact with others due to their snide remarks she threw herself into her studies learning what she could that she soon became known as a eccentric. Her father often being to busy did his best to make sure she had what she wanted and or need as his way to make his love for her known. This of course ranged from her hobbies to books to aid in her studies. Her father worried about her safety made sure to hire professional tutors that can make sure she is taught everything she needed to know. This of course ranged from general studies to self defense and things of that nature such as how to harness her flames. During this time her father wanted a secure future for her so he sought out the Vongola hoping by working solely for them would help keep his daughter safe.
