CLOSED/MAY REBOOT IN FUTURE

Name: Lorenzo de'Medici
Blood: Pureblood
Age by appearance: 27
Immortal age: 298
House: N/A
Rank: Freelance Spy
Short bio: Lorenzo was born in Italy in the 16th century during the height of the Renaissance. He was inducted into training at a early age to become an assassin spy and quickly climbed the ranks in his order. It was only one day after reporting back from a particularly difficult mission, that his 'benefactors' captured him and planned to execute him to hide any loose ends. It was then that Lorenzo was visited by a powerful vampire who offered him the chance of revenge and a 'gift' to exact it. Although he almost initially refused, his anger got the better of him and he accepted, allowing the vampire to 'turn' Lorenzo.

Able to execute his revenge, the vampiric powers that filled him enhanced his already lethal skills and he was able to deftly execute his benefactors, and the order they had created. When his work was done and his blood lust satisfied, the stranger was gone, left to his own devices, Lorenzo wandered the earth to continue to hone his skills in espionage. Every so often though, a voice tickles the back of his mind, a voice he cannot forget and one he probably never would; the voice whispers.

"You serve only me now..."

Lorenzo is the perfect combination of snarky and calculating, using his wit and guile to woo, intimidate or persuade individuals in giving him the information he wants. If all else fails however, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty and cut a few appendages or puncture someone's kidney if need be. He's considered a bastard among vampires since he walks a lone path and doesn't give a damn about it, only those who know with whom the blood he shares are able to tolerate his existence and even at times, use his skills (for a price).

Kyle expected another verbal lashing, an ass kicking, or at the very least a 'Get out', but instead when he felt his hair being ruffled and his body pulled into hers for a hug he felt relieved; he thought he'd really fucked up big time. The DJ apologized too, not wanting whatever was going on between them to end over something so petty. When she brought her fingers over his fresh cuts, he felt the sting of them, but the girl's touch was gentle enough that he could tolerate it.

"Jesus, he really did a number on you, you should probably rinse those. There's a first aid kit in the bathroom, if you need to use it."

"I think between the rain and your hosing shenanigans my wounds are cleaned out well enough," he smirked at the girl before looking down to her hand clutching her shirt, he could just barely see it but the familiar red was there. "Let me see that," he asked, reaching for her hand, she let him and he examined the blood dripping from the finger, it was just beginning to coagulate so it was fairly fresh, "This we should definitely get cleaned up though, come on, you can lead the way."

The bathroom was just across the store and they passed by the entrance to get to it. For just a brief moment, Kyle looked out the window to see if Nick was still there, only to be filled with disappointment to find out that he wasn't, "Stupid bastard..." Maybe there was just something Kyle wasn't understanding as to why Nick didn't come in if he liked Nori so much...to at least apologize after she had apologized to him...maybe he'd meet the youth someday and be able to ask him, maybe not it didn't matter at this point. Once Nori had lead them to the bathroom she began to wash her hands in the sink while Kyle located the first aid kit in the room, pulling a couple of band aids, one for him, one for her. Once she had finished, Kyle had her sit down on the toilet and he knelt in front of her and carefully applied the bandage to her finger so as to cause as little discomfort as possible.

Still feeling somewhat guilty he said, "Sorry again...for all that...Are you going to be alright? I didn't get you fired did I?" He suddenly remembered that last bit from when she scolded him, he really didn't want to be the cause of destroying her livelihood.

He winced at how curt her reply was, she was pissed at him and he knew it, but when she repeated the question again softer this time, Kyle exhaled softly; at least she was willing to hear him out. "To apologize..." he stated simply, her hair looked quite frazzled, matted down in some places from the water, make-up smears across her eyes, face and coat, if he didn't know any better, he'd say she had been crying and frankly...he couldn't blame her. A lot was on his mind now a lot he wanted to say, everything from the fight, to Nori scolding the two idiots, Nick, her face... but now that he was actually here, in front of this woman...where did he even start? He scratched his head and just...started talking.

"I wasn't the one to deal the first blow in that fight...but it was a fight I shouldn't have gotten into all the same, especially not here of all places and not in front of...you..." He felt his heart clench up, remembering that face of anger she had displayed, but even behind the anger, he saw the disappointment in her eyes too, "It was a petty fight, one with the potential to destroy livelihoods, and I don't want to be the one responsible for destroying yours," At this point Kyle dropped down to his knees and crouched down, his slightly swollen forehead reacting to the cold tile below, "From the bottom of my heart Nori Haywood, I am sorry and I hope that you can forgive me, and...if you can find room for more....please forgive Nick too..."

Given recent events, I have found a fun theme for Nick, with a bonus suggestion by @lovely complex

Shine City II: The Next Season

Kyle's heart sank and shattered into a thousand pieces, the rain felt numb to him as his clothing stuck to his body like a second skin. Kyle breathed heavily still recovering from the fight, the onslaught of the hose, and verbal lashing he received from the woman he played tonsil hockey with not several hours ago. Kyle sat there slumped in the street, rain pouring down his face, battered and bruised, with a man in a similar state next to him; in essence, a dumb ass sitting next to a dumb ass. He thought his rage hadn't blinded him, but yet it obscured him from the most obvious place and it was right in front of him. He ran a hand through his hair and wiped it down his face, flinching slightly as he felt the pain in his nose again, now he realized his glasses were missing.

Looking around he found them not too far from where the car had driven off, he got up and walked over to them. Picking them up he scowled at how mangled they were, but he could fix them later, folding them and pocketing them in his wet pants. Turning around he walked over to where Nick was still sitting on the ground, "Look man...can we just agree that we were a couple of dumb asses and just leave it at that..." he reached his hand down to stand the boy up, when he didn't receive any response Kyle sighed and pulled his hand back. "Look, Nick, I'm sorry about what happened between you and Nori, but I had nothing to do with that, and it wasn't kept a secret from me," he let that sink in a bit, "We were walking to the arcade, she saw you in the park and hid herself behind a tree, afterwards she told me that she stood you up...that she felt horrible about it and had been avoiding you since because of it; I'm telling you all this, because she meant it when she told you she was sorry." Kyle wasn't sure if Nick was listening to him at this point, shaking his head he said his final piece, "If you want to wallow here in your deluded self-pity you go right ahead, but I'm going in to apologize, because frankly, we fucked up and she deserves at the very least that much."

He turned away from the boy, walking towards the shop and trying to wring out as much water as he could before he entered, looking back at Nick one last time, Kyle pressed forward and opened the door. A small bell chimed and Kyle entered the building the sudden temperature change was welcome, but he was still dripping wet, and water was pelting the floor below him. "Nori!" He called out, he wasn't sure where she had gone, but from the look on her face when she left, probably as far away as possible...maybe in the back? He walked over to the front counter and found an open door leading to the back area, inside he found the petite girl, dripping wet herself as she was huddled over, cleaning something off the ground, "Nori..." The girl finally looked up at him, his heart ached and he felt genuinely terrible, but he needed to say his piece, then if she wanted him gone... "Can we talk...please?"

(A Collaboration by BeastofDestiny, @lovely complex, @Dynamo Frokane)

Kyle was quickly ushered to the car and shoved into the back seat as Amity took the driver seat, Luke, her bodyguard was stationed up front in the passenger seat.

He grinned wide, "Hey Kyle, long time no see."

"Hey Luke, good to see you again," he gave Luke daps and then smirked saying, So Amie says you're sleeping with Renee now."

"Oh why don't you just go tell the whole world now huh?" As Amity sped off.

Amity laughed to herself as she scanned the buildings, "So it's true! I was just taking a gamble. HA! I was right." Using her peripheral vision, she noticed Luke blushing which wasn't a usual sight, "You're too cute Lukey."

A phone began to ring. Amity knew it wasn't hers because the ringtone was GOD AWFUL. It was her brother's new single: Amie's a Bitch. Luke picked it up and became preoccupied with conversation. She already knew who he was talking to: Liam. What a worrywart.

A light turned red as Amity proclaimed, "FIVE SECOND RULE!" and took a quick, tight left. A car stepped on it's breaks (screech filling the air) and honked very loudly at the white BMW, "WHATEVER."

Wanting to drown Luke's voice, Amity switched her music on. Gently tapping her (newest generation) Ipod on, her dance music playlist filled the car with great bass.

Waves by DJ Satomi

Not paying much attention to her surroundings, she drew close to the curb over a puddle which made a major splash. Looking through her rear view mirror, she noticed a boy had gotten wet... her icey eyes widened. Oh no. Quickly checking if there was a car coming from behind and relieved that there wasn't, she reversed with the same amount of speed and jumped out the car.

"I'm so so so sorry!" Not bothering to analyze the boy's appearance, she ran to the trunk and took out some of Luke's spare clothes from his duffel bag. Opening the backdoor, she grabbed the boy's hand pulled him closer to her. She then turned him to face the inside of the car and pushed him toward Kyle. Tossing the clothes at him, Amie smiled, "Change! I'll take you wherever." Scurrying to the front, with no idea of the backstory between the boy and her friend, Amie was ready to get to her destination...

And just like that he fell for the bait, he felt a little bad for Luke, but he had to admit even he was surprised. He watched Amity drive, he never felt safe with her behind the wheel, and with damn good reason as she sped through a red light, nearly causing another car to crash into them.

"(Christ, watch the road better will ya?)" He watched as her eyes widen, what did he upset her? Geez when did she become such a- The car suddenly stopped and reversed before Amity suddenly left the car. Curious, Kyle watched as she made her way over to someone in the street and ushered him into the seat next to Kyle. His own eyes widened as he recognized the guy, despite how drenched he was, it was the same guy he ran into last night.

"Oh, shit, its you again, you alright? Listen I'm sorry about last night again, I was late meeting someone and...and that's no excuse, really." his shoulders slumped, he felt genuinely bad about the whole ordeal, "Sorry again, uh, my name's Kyle, Kyle Parker, what's yours?"

Nick was chewing his bubblegum faster than usual, he was trying to focus on his chewing because his mind was running a million miles a minute.

Shizuka....Nori....Shizuka....Nori..

He couldn't get either out of his head at this point, and the more he was trying to not think about them the more his more thoughts gravitated towards them, he hated what was going through his head as it was so unlike him, he was supposed to be cool and carefree, but these two women on his mind had him feeling like a different person. He was so in his thoughts he didnt even hear the car speeding past him.

SCCCRRRRRRRRPPLLLASSSHHHHH

Suddenly a small tidal wave hit nick as he was walking by, he gasped, not having time to process what had happened or why he was soaking wet so he just stared at the car in disbelief. Suddenly two people, a tough looking guy and a pretty girl began apologizing profusely and began offering him clothes and a ride. It was all happening so fast, Nick was caught off guard.

I-Its fine...Im okay, its just water, I was too close to the road anyway.

But the two apologetic people had already funneled him into the car, as he slowly began to put on the shirt that was offered to him, luckily his bottom half wasnt too wet and didnt need changing. He was sitting next to a man with red hair. He could of sworn he mentioned this man on the radio at least once, but didnt speak up.

Kyle sat in his seat feeling slightly awkward at the lack of his response...maybe he was pissed at Kyle still for barreling into him last night? He would be too if someone had done that without giving so much as a single ounce of an explanation, well he'd sit back in his seat and just enjoy the ride as best he could.

Luke, sensing Kyle's distress, tried lightening the mood with a bit of conversation and so as not to be rude to their new guest kept the dialect strictly japanese, "So you know about me and Renee now, you been seeing anyone Parker?"

Though Kyle was surprised that Luke was using Japanese instead of English, he went along with it, "Actually I met someone just yesterday, completely by chance, you could say I knocked her off her feet," Kyle chuckled a little, it'd probably be funnier if it wasn't true.

"Way to go man," Luke smirked, "What does she look like?"

"In a few words, absolutely stunning, appearance wise, she's a fair bit shorter than me, thinner too and her skin is fair. She's got these long golden locks that flow and curl like a wild river and she has these amber eyes that just pierce right through me." His face heated up a little at how honest he was being, but damn it he was ok with that.

"She got any tats?" Luke asked, his tone changing to something serious.

"Yea actually, she has one right on her left cheek!"

"Good on you man, you know I've always said that you always go for the tatted ones," he got a little excited, but quickly returned to normal, "So what's her name tiger?"

He leaned back in his seat smiling, "Her name is Nori."

Nick was in a state of near delirium, he was just splashed and now shoved into a car with a bunch of strangers, a big hefty fella, a cute girl, and an unnervingly handsome young man, who were are talking as if he wasn't even there. Nick's usual charisma had drained away, he was now a quiet shy 20 year old boy. Not in control of the situation at all and allowing himself to just drift into the background. The handsome one who introduced himself as Kyle began to speak to the tough looking guy about girls. Nick couldn't care less about other people's relationships, he was still thinking about Shizuka....and....

Hang on Kyle, did you say Nori? as In DJ Nori Haywood?, works at LUSH?

Nick's shy and soft demeanor suddenly vanished, he wasnt even shivering from the cold anymore. A fire had lit inside of him, but it wasnt one of confidence and passion, it was of jealousy and angry.

You smashing it?....Are you boning Nori Haywood dude?

Nick's always friendly eyes became focused lasers and locked with Kyle's, Nick began to chew his gum faster as he was talking.

You might want to tell henchman to stop the car, bro.

"Henchman... did he just call my Lukey a henchman? or me? I'm the one driving... he couldn't possibly be calling me THAT." Repulsed at the fact that she might of been called a type of servant, Amity looked through the rear view mirror. She noticed the male she picked up and offered kindness to was glaring deeply at her friend, with eyes she knew very well.

Jealousy.

Anger.

There were a few times she could recall moments she had these emotions. Of course, this was not one of them. Wait...

In her head, she thought: "Nori...Haywood...DJ....Nori....Haywood..." . Not once did Kyle tell her he had a girl of interest. She could careless about this other kid, sad, pathetic, low-life, who thought he had a chance with a girl of Kyle's caliber, but Kyle, her friend... he didn't share this with her? Her grip on the wheel tightened. Now she had more of a reason to get the phone...

Seeing an open parking spot across from The Enchanted Florist, Amity pulled in.

She muttered, with her teeth gritted, "The outdoors is all yours. Go be fucking idiots." Keeping the shades on to hide her eyes welling up, she turned to Luke and smiled, "We both love good sportsmanship, so why don't you oversee the fight? ~"

Luke looked at her worried. Running his hand through his hair, he contemplated Amity's words. He knew she wasn't going to change her mind, she was as stubborn as a mule (unfortunately). He laid his hand out and sighed, "Alright... but you're going to have to give me the keys. We don't need a repeat of last time."

Turning the ignition off, Amity handed her bodyguard the keys, she grinned, "I would not DARE!" and exited the door, taking her umbrella with her.

The last 8 seconds turned from relaxed, to extremely tense as the guy next to him suddenly flared up, looking over the boy was staring daggers into Kyle and he could feel his body tense up. This wasn't the first time Kyle had seen a glare like that, he'd been given plenty enough before while growing up in the States; but for the reason to involve another girl, especially Nori, that was a first. His hand tentatively reached for the door handle, his eyes purely focused on the guy next to him, he looked about ready to pounce and Kyle didn't want to be taken off guard. He was about to tell Amity to stop the car before she was already parking it, "The outdoors is all yours. Go be fucking idiots." He heard her muttering, wondering what might have been wrong, that was a mistake as for the one second he took his eyes off the boy- WHAM!

Kyle got punched square in the face, he could feel his glasses smashing and piercing into his skin. He was taken so off guard that he pulled the door handle at the same time and fell out the car, a sharp pain running along his back as he collided into the asphalt below before feeling some cold and wet soaking up the back of his shirt. The boy fell on top of him, but Kyle's foot was in a good enough position that he was able to use the boy's continued forward momentum to launch him off and away from Kyle, giving him enough time to scramble to his feet and orientate himself. His vision felt hazy and there was a burning pain on the bridge of his nose, he reached up to touch it, flinching at the sudden pain spike, he lowered his hand to find crimson red dripping from it. The fucker punched him so hard his glasses had cut into his skin and now...Kyle was pissed.

"(Mother FUCK!!!)" He screamed in English, slamming his closed fist down on the trunk of the car, hard enough to leave a tiny dent. He turned around and cracked his knuckles, ignoring the pain as adrenaline and fury shot through him like a raging comet, he didn't even give a damn that they were in the middle of the street doing this, or that his glasses had vanished from his face, "Alright you skinny, fuck boy, bitch! You want a fucking fight, bring it!" His fists were raised and tucked close into his body and he lowered himself to the ground for better center of gravity, he was ready to take the pain and deal out tenfold more.

All Nick could see was the red mist, he couldnt see Kyle at all, this wasnt about Kyle. He wasnt fighting another man, he was fighting his own pain. Nick chewed bubblegum and hosts the radio because it makes him feel alive, it makes him feel important. His self esteem had never once been in question before that, he was Nick Weston, popular and talented. He had never had to consider rejection before. Shizuka's ambiguity was bad enough, but Nori ditched him, ditched him for this guy? Kyle Parker? Nick's insecurites about his massive crush Nori, had come to a boiling point. She was perfect and now there is a living breathing avatar of a man representing the fact that She chose someone else..... Nick was going to put this all to rest right now.

After tumbling out of the car landing a damn good shot, Kyle managed to springboard Nick away from him, somewhere outside a shop that Nick didnt have time to properly identify in the rain. Nick spat his bubblegum on the floor as Kyle cursed at him in fury. Nick wasted no time in advancing on the young man, ready to rock him again.

She was good right? best piece of tail in Shine city right? bet she didnt ditch YOU on YOUR FIRST DATE RIGHT?!

Nick charged and swung hard for Kyle, but he was ready for this attack and caught nick with a short but stunning uppercut to the torso and followed up with a right cross to the jaw which slammed into his face and knocked him off balance. Nick grabbed Kyle's shirt and snarled in his face. A fight was underway.

"THIS IS THE GUY NORI STOOD UP?!" When she first pinned him against that tree he expected an asshole ex-boyfriend, but instead he was dealing with an asshole reject and that was about 10x worse than the former. This wasn't about Kyle being with Nori, this was all about Nick's ego, Kyle had never had to put up with that in the past and he wasn't going to put up with it now, even if it meant he had to beat the ever living shit out of Nick to do it. Kyle might have been pissed, but he wasn't being as blind or as reckless as his opponent was, and that left him with an advantage in this fight.

"I didn't sleep with her you stupid dick!" Kyle was defending himself well and when his opponent got all up in his face, Kyle leaned his head back and brought it down hard into the man's skull, Nick staggered back and Kyle advanced, "We just met yesterday!" Kyle swung wide and Nick retaliated, knocking a clean shot in his face. Kyle faltered slightly, but caught Nick's arm as he came down for another blow, Kyle closed the gap and brought his knee up into Nick's gut for a debilitating blow. Wrapping his hands around one another, he brought his two closed fists in a swinging arc to strike Nick's chin, screaming all the while, "WE JUST HAD NACHOS!"

Luke was surprised at how fast the fight took flight but he knew the young men needed to settle their differences. He wasn't that older than them, so he understood completely the thrill of a good fight. Plus, men needed to protect their pride. He spent a good time sizing them up as they threw their punches. Neither of these boys had a killer instinct in them, but they could at least protect their lady if it ever came down to it. He knew for damn sure Kyle could fight but Luke didn't expect him to get in a fight because of a girl. Young and in love, I guess? She must be one hell of a catch. Pedestrians passed by as Luke gave them the look that everything was going to be okay. His phone rung again, "Thare he goes again. Aye worrying." his scottish slang slipped out. Keeping his eyes glued to the fight, that seemed to get closer and closer to the Enchanted Florist, he answered the call,

"Whit dae yi'll waant? YES, yes! She's--" Luke looked around and noticed Amity was missing. He sighed and lied through his teeth, getting back to his clean English, "She's fine. She's been catching up with her friend. I know, I know. She needs to rest for tonight. Can't the girl enjoy herself for a little bit?" After letting the lecture go on, Luke hung up and looked at the two boys, "I'd love to play babysitter but, I'm sure a little blood won't hurt ya. Talk to me about that nacho date some other time, Kyle." While waving, his back now facing the fight, the bodyguard walked to the car and went to look for his celebrity.

Amity came out of a clothing store with a new and improved disguise! (She left Kyle's old clothes in the dressing room... she'll buy him new things).

Amity's new outfit

Thinking she was an absolute genius transforming herself into a cute nerd, she was ready to meet that Iruka girl at the coffee shop! The glasses really transformed her! She didn't realize she stood out even more than before.

Holding her yellow umbrella, she followed her phone's gps to The Shining Kettle. Passing two girls chatting, not assuming one of those two was Iruka, she entered the coffee shop, closing her umbrella in the process. Smiling to herself and taking in the aroma of coffee, she twirled her way to a table beside a young, blonde-haired man, and a cute little girl, his sister? Two workers were tending to their needs. Amity could tell by the little girl's expressions, she was idol material. As she waited for this Iruka girl, Amity watched the people around her. She really did enjoy the ordinary things in life!
