ZILO

<<PERSONALITY>>

Positive:

Stubborn: Zilo happens to be one of those people, that you would literally have to kill to make him change his mind, whether it be to help someone to to leave them behind. If he set's his mind too it, he will make sure it's done even if it cost him his life.

Quiet: Not one to say much, this is pretty much a good trait, as it allows him to make less enemies, from his smart ass ways, or so to speak with his blunt personality.

Studious: While not always the best move in the book, this is a bonus to Zilo as he figures, with a good plan can come good results, thus making him a good strategist on the field, in order to keep other's alive, or himself for that matter.

Negatives:

Smartass: When Zilo does talk, he comes off as a smart ass, and one in which isn't so easily taken, because of this he chooses to be quiet at most times, or say no comment when someone prefers a direct answer from the man.

Blunt: Being blunt is a negative in some cases, it doesn't seem like a big negative but it's enough to make people hate you for stating the obvious reasons about someone or saying something they don't wish to hear.

Loner: Zilo is a typical guy, that loves to be alone and left alone. So that noone can bother him, and he doesn't have to worry about a party member slowing him down, or getting him killed.

<<HISTORY>>

► CHILDHOOD:
Being born into a normal family, Zilo was what you would call a trouble maker when he was little, he was one to always start a fight with another, or so it seemed because of his blunt remarks and how he had grown to be what he would later refer to himself as a smart ass. Though with how he was, by the time he had hit about six something terrible had happen, when he had gotten into a fight a boy had his face with a rock, little did they know when it had hit Zilo’s face it also pierced his eye with an end, causing the eye to come out as the boy pulled back the rock. Being rushed to the medical room, from when the kids had started screaming and a neighbor came out to see the gory sight. Though it was already too late, the doctors analyzed what had happened to the eye, and still came to the same conclusion that the parents of little Zilo had, there was no hope for his eye, growing up without an eye was difficult, readjusting with a small eye patch over his right eye.

► TEENAGE YEARS:
Upon growing up without the sight of his right eye, it had been a hard adjustment on Zilo’s life but it had made it a bit better for him in the long run. It showed him how to keep his mouth quiet and his comments to himself, in fear of losing his other eye’s sight in a similar situation. About the time that Zilo had hit thirteen he had enrolled into a Kendo club, so that he could learn to use a blade for protection in the times, that he was alone, or traveling to a place that he hadn’t been to before. Three years passed as he continued to stay within the class, learning as much as he could.

Soon the prices for taking the classes was a bit much, and it would cost him a lot more, in the following years, should he move out with his parents, using the remaining time, he talked to his trainer about what was going on, and how he would have to move out soon and wouldn’t have money to continue the training. Upon hearing his story, his Sensei, Uragaya, agreed to take him on in special classes, this was to say that as long as he did exactly as his sensei had told him too, and to listen to each word and remark that the man had said to him without faltering, agreeing to these terms, made the next two years of Zilo’s life miserable, but worth it in the long run.

During the years following the teaching from his Sensei, Zilo took up a small job as a Braille teacher, his first client had been a kid that was about three or two years younger than him being at eighteen the kid was around fifteen or sixteen. Growing towards the kid for a while, knowing how it had felt to lose eye sight, at least with just one eye, Zilo grew a personal attachment to the kid named Vahn. (Saucy added as you wanted XD) Over the next few months and almost a year, till the kid started refusing help from Zilo in learning Braille in an attempt to do it himself, finally giving in and the parents convincing him, he had decided that it was about time for him to stop teaching the young kid.

Over the next few years of teaching and helping other’s learn to read without their eye sight, a new VMMORPG had come out, known as Sword art online, hearing about the beta testing and how he hadn’t been a part of it, he felt a bit compelled as it was a mmorpg in which there was no magic or so he learned, a RPG without magic was a bold move, but it seemed that this one was successful, sitting down on the computer, there was information about the game from the beta testers explaining how it was, and the exciting details of feeling as if you where the game itself.

► ADULT YEARS:
About the time, Zilo had hit twenty one, he hadn’t moved on from being a Braille teacher, but instead had learned to take it to another level, and become an actual teacher and host classrooms. Though an honest living, there was a small premier coming out at midnight, the same day as summer was about to start, or so one would say for him, as he taught during the summer and not during the school hours. A small VMMORPG that he had been following for years, being purchasable at midnight tonight, the man was interested and ordered the game to be one of the first 10,000 users to buy the game... Little did he know what was coming next...

SWORD ARTS

LAIDO. one handed swords
1 Strikes, 0 Specials, 200% Speed, 50% Power

Laido is a simple sword art technique used by the samurais in the past, it requires a perfect stance in which one must spread their legs to shoulder width, and their hands would rest on top of their sheathed blade. In order to make the skill work it would take a few seconds to activate. With their body leaning forward a bit almost at a eighty five degree angle to give them the extra push they need for making a quick strike upwards on their opponent, the skill doesn’t activate without a incentive without the user having a hand on the back of the sheathe, and one hand on the handle, other than that it will not activate, it allows for a glowing purple aura, on the entire sword sheathe and blade itself. Once the charging is complete the user can draw the blade in a quick slicing motion that goes at a fourty five degree angle, to stop or slice an opponent quickly but with minimal damage, but at a speed to stun. This technique is just for quick precision hits.

The body has to be bent at a eighty five degree angle forward or the skill will not activate, same with the advantage of having one hand on the sheathe and the other on the handle, these two valuable positions are what allow the sword art to activate in the quick flashy manner that it was suppose to be, that is how the Laido technique is used.

DRAGON'S ROAR. one handed swords
1 Strikes, 0 Specials, 100% Speed, 150% Power

Dragons Roar, is a technique that most wouldn’t know how to do unless they concentrated and learned the small maneuver. It starts with the user placing his sword down towards the ground, and taking his opposite foot of his sword hand and placing it forward, taking a deep breath and closing their eyes for a second or two, the blade will begin to glow purple, and take to making a small humming noise, the blade point is at a forty five degree angle facing the ground away from the user. Upon the humming stopping the user then can launch forward with the leading foot, for the extra shot straight towards their opponent, since the skill sacrifices speed for strength, that is the one fatal flaw, taking a while to charge or to even believe in starting. It is generally best to use in an encounter with allies or friends, though with Zilo being a loner he hasn’t had the chance to use this technique to its best.

In order for him to use this technique, a enemy must either be paralyzed or slower than him when using it, otherwise he would be hit, or the enemy could dodge this attack, thus making it like a double edge sword in a sense, and thus needs a party to distract, or weaker enemies in which Zilo can make sure it hits, and cause some massive damage to the enemy.
