Name:
Enrico Vivas
Gender:
Male
Age:
23
Spirit:
Perseus
King of Mycenae, Slayer of Medusa, Son of Zeus
Type:
Bukizoku
Spiritual Powers:[Harpe]
O Divines, Sunder The SerpentAn odd Bokizoku in that it is split into two 'aspects' so to speak, reflecting the conflict in different tellings of Perseus' legend regarding the weapon he utilized to kill Medusa. Each weapon has its own special property and appearance. They can be summoned as a pair, or individually.
O Heavens, Bestow To Me Your Bending BladeA khopesh-like sickle-sword made from adamantium. It was designed to allow Perseus to bypass the armor-scales of Medusa and thus holds the property of 'bypassing armor', meaning that anything that can be conceptualized as 'armor' are useless against this blade.
O Creator, Render All Unto MortalityA polearm shaped more similar to that of the end of a hook sword than a traditional scythe. Due to killing an immortal Titan when it was the Scythe of Kronus, this weapon bears the property of 'bringing one down to mortality'. Essentially, this means that all wounds inflicted by this weapon cannot be healed except by natural means.
[Kibisis]
O Spirits, Relieve These Burdens of MineKibisis isn't a very amazing Bukizoku. It's nothing more than a glorified hammerspace, a pouch that one can keep filling with no change to its outward appearance or available capacity. Things stored within Kibisis are contained even when the Bukizoku is dispelled, and can be retrieved at a later period of time so long as it's contained within the pouch. However, this doesn't apply to the items summoned by the user's Bukizoku.
[Aegis]
O Wisdom, Guide Unto MeThe mirrored shield used by Perseus to view his surroundings when fighting Medusa... But it doesn't work quite as you might expect. It definitely bears the property of 'reflecting one's surroundings', but rather than allowing the user to look into it to see what is behind them, it projects information of the surrounding area. In theory, the wielder can move around without having to rely on anything other than the mirrored shield. It can also be used as a pseudo-detection device, as it also transmits the positions of others within range.
[Aidos Kynee]
O Darkness, Shroud MeA mantle that obfuscates the presence of the wearer. While the hood is down, it merely obscures the appearance of the wearer making them appear 'generic'. The type of person you'd barely notice and completely forget about a few seconds later. Naturally, this effect is enhanced in larger populations of people, and isn't quite as effective when you're alone with the user and you're familiar enough with him. When the hood is up, it becomes a classic cloak of invisibility.
[Talaria]
O Wind, Make My Stride Become YoursWinged sandals that, surprisingly enough, don't allow the user to fly. Instead, they give large boosts to the user's speed and agility, as well as completely eliminating damage from falls, so long as the wearer lands on their feet. The also provide the ability to leap long distances, surf down buildings, and all that fun stuff in an emulation of traditional flight.
[Pegasus]
O Sky, Allow My Steed To Cross YouThe mount of both Perseus and Bellerophon, a winged horse said to be the bearer of the thunderbolts of Zeus and eventually placed into the sky as the eponymous constellation. Not only is it a beast that moves at incredible speeds on both land and air, but it also contains a powerful lightning based attack that sacrifices the use of this Bokuzoki for 24 hours.
[Gorgoneion]
O Medusa, Curse MeThe severed head of Medusa, said to hold the power to petrify any who look into its dreadful visage. This is true even for the replica, however rather than keeping any who see it petrified for life, the effect only lasts as long as you are in the line of sight of the Gorgoneion and then roughly 30 seconds after line of sight is broken. Anybody petrified by the ability becomes essentially invulnerable, unless they are damaged by an attack that bypasses physical defense to inflict damage on the spirit or mind, something so powerful that any defense doesn't matter, or any properties with great enough similarity.
Personality:Enrico is a man of two faces, a fact that can likely be attributed to his 'education' at the hands of the Kimura Tenma. He's not downright evil by any means, but he's done a few things he isn't proud of anymore and now attempts to distance himself from that lifestyle, as well as maintain a set of personal standards he'd much rather not cross. Unfortunately for Enrico however, old habits are hard to break.
Over the years, Enrico has begun to project the persona of an overall pleasant young gentleman. He's become the kind of person who can generally get along well with others, good-natured, polite, and gentle, if not a bit inexpressive. Furthermore, he's managed to have developed a very impressive amount of patience by bottling in all his rage, frustration, annoyance, and other such feelings deep within himself. However, everyone has their bursting point, and Enrico's is rather loud and violent. Something you would expect more from a spitfire with a hair trigger temper than a calm guy like him.
Naturally, this is the first indication that he might not be exactly as he seems. While he may remain an affable young man to some, to others he may remain much less scrupulous. Particularly to those affiliated with the Kimera Tenma. He might have become less of aggressive with age, but by no means has he become any less threatening. As much as he himself hates it, he actually
enjoys violent and high octane situations, and acknowledges that the only thing that's really changed is how blatant he is about it.
Biography:Enrico was born in Spain to a family that, by all means, should have given birth to a powerless child. He lived the lifestyle of one in poverty for many years, especially after his Connecter abilities manifested. He was forcibly removed from the household, not by the government or anything, but by the people who brought him up themselves. Feeling angry and betrayed, and having nowhere to go, he lived alone out on the streets for about three months until someone indicated him to the authorities. He was taken into a foster home and lived peacefully. He refrained from using his Connecter powers out of fear for the consequences, but he had to break sometime, and when that occasion arose he was summarily sent off to Lyranias.
Aimless, he was soon recruited into the Kimera Tenma after catching the eye of one of the 12 'Spiders'. Whether it was for the amusement of the Spider, to recruit a member with potential, or for some other ulterior motive, Enrico would never find out. Naive and lonely, he accepted the offer and began training. He took to the business quite easily, with a Bukizoku practically tailor made for the shady business of the Kimera Tenma and a malleable personality that took to it like a moth to flame.
It seemed that all would coast well for the Spaniard, and it seemed he was on the fast track to becoming one of the 12 himself. His past enthusiasm for the job, his useful spiritual power, the special recruitment, and his skill as a thief, spy, and when needed, assassin. It seemed to be a no-brainer that he'd end up as a big shot some day! But then Enrico
left the Kimera Tenma. Nobody knew why he left, nor could they ever fathom an answer. Just the day before he was diligently performing his duties. What could have caused him to throw away all his progress and depart so suddenly? After all, doesn't every action have its consequences?
