[b]Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Birthday:[/b] July 16th [b]Class:[/b] [url=http://www.fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Myrmidon]Myrmidon[/url] [b]Allegiance:[/b] Technically the Shepherds, but in his mind, he's in his own world. [b]Weapon(s):[/b] [url=http://www.fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Killing_Edge]Killing Edge[/url] [b]Clothing / Appearance:[/b] Look above~ [b]Personality:[/b] An impulsive and stubborn pessimist whose vengeful tendencies more than often get the best of him, revealing his sadistic nature. He had been known by others to have been compassionate and outright kindhearted to others, once said to have been the embodiment of vigor and voice of extravagance within the Shepherds. Though he remains steadfast in his loyalties to his affiliation, he has no intention on opening himself to others; his recent experiences have been more than enough to convince him that trust is no longer a given. [b]Biography:[/b] Zaino was born in the combative nation of Regna Ferox as the younger brother of Xerxes by a six year age difference. His mother was a middle-class apothecary who never mentioned his father, only telling him that he was a good man. As a child, he held a fierce rivalry and always fought with his elder brother, competing over who was better at whatever they did. Xerxes always came out as ever the victor, though a day before Zaino's seventh birthday, Xerxes left home and disappeared. In three years' time, Zaino was sent off to receive tutelage from a family acquaintance named Lon'qu, a family acquaintance and the right-hand man of the then-West Khan. The veteran swordsman trained the boy over the course of five years and made a man out of him, allowing him to become Lon'qu's successor. Zaino claimed victory for the West in Lon'qu's steed during the Khans' champion battle over inheritance of the country's authority at sixteen years old, and shortly after, he was introduced to the Shepherds under his master's recommendations. Over those four years, he made a name for himself and became one of the faction's prominent members. All seemed well for Zaino and his circle of friends; life was great for the swordsman. That is, until Xerxes suddenly resurfaced in his life, as the main perpetrator of the massacre. [b]Quirk:[/b] Is clumsy with anything that is not a sword. [b]Strengths:[/b] Unnaturally agile, and extremely perceptive of other people and his surroundings. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] His inability to trust people (including his own allies) more than often causes friction between himself and others. He is also constantly grieving over the past, and remains deeply mired by those old wounds. His negative outlook on society and the world itself is enough to label him as a consummate pessimist. [b]Likes:[/b] Spilling the blood of his enemies. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Xerxes, Darrian, traitors and dishonesty, knights, people who look down on others, spiders, and many, many more things. [b]Romantic Interest:[/b] Zaino had a number of casual, romantic relationships prior, but after everything, it'll take consistent effort to break his shell.

[b]Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Birthday:[/b] December 25th [b]Class:[/b] [url=http://www.fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Swordmaster]Swordmaster (called “Trueblade” or “Kensei” to fit his title)[/url] [b]Allegiance:[/b] Ylissean Army – holds authority equal to a commander, but prefers to command his own personal detached unit. [b]Weapon(s):[/b] [url=http://www.fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Sword]Iron Sword[/url] as an indirect mocking of his opponent's inferiority to him. [url=http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/109/c/5/Snake_Eyes_Katana_by_Ryujin10.jpg]Imperius,[/url] his one-of-a-kind personal sword that is only drawn under special conditions. Thus far, it has only been drawn a total of three times. [b]Clothing / Appearance:[/b] Look above~ [b]Personality:[/b] Xerxes isn't necessarily a person who loves to be around others. He talks with a hostile tone for almost all occasions, and he is quick to anger if something does not go his way. There are few people who can call him a friend, and even fewer who know him enough for him to even consider them. He doesn't verbally showcase his pompous nature, but he is fairly confident in his ability to kill just about anyone, and it's safe to say that he's able to easily prove it. He doesn't care about his fame or authority, and only seeks to gain from carrying out his friend's dream. Xerxes has a strong dislike for society, looking down on other swordsmen as foolish and all the same. [b]Biography:[/b] Not much is known about Xerxes' shrouded past. It is said that he began a mercenary career in his early teens up until the age of eighteen where he was personally approached by Darrian to join the Ylissean Army as his confidante. One solid fact was that at the age of twenty-two, Xerxes dueled the King of Chon'sin to test his strength, and unknowingly claimed the title “Sword of Saints” in the process. [b]Quirk:[/b] Has a habit of constantly death-glaring people. [b]Strengths:[/b] His overall combat skills label him as one of, if not, the finest of both continents. His lack of emotion when carrying out his duties allows him to get the job done in his own fashion. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Xerxes is a bit of a slacker at times, and often acts upon his own accord in disobedience. Save for his own unit, he holds no care for the lives of others, and sees everyone as expendable. [b]Likes:[/b] Darrian's ambition, sleeping and lazing around, eating meat-based foods. [b]Dislikes:[/b] His title and reputation, society, suck-ups, sword-toting mongrels who call themselves swordsmen, and a ton of more things. [b]Romantic Interest:[/b] Xerxes associates himself with too many women to keep track of. Perhaps, he may even have a bastard child or two...
