You Can Do That?!

Powers: Superhuman acceleration ability. Self Deconstruction/construction. Solidifying Sound Wave.

• Superhuman Speed: From what he claims, he says that his speed is next fastest to lightning, however is not true.He says that the only two people who can either catch up to him, or overrule him in speed. One, who is his best friend, but also an enemy. The other, being the very mentor, and the creator of, "Ten no Hayasa," (Literally meaning, Speed of Sky/Heaven). Ten no Hayasa allows Nagato to move at an incredible speed for a moment, giving an advantage in assassination or hit-and-run. His speed is not comparable with the speed of light, however, he is fast enough to break through the sound barrier.
  
  
• Self (De)Construction: Nagato is able to temporarily, "Deconstruct," himself at will. When deconstructing himself, his deconstructed body part, actually turns into multiple mini-bats. These bats have no facial details, nor any fur. They are completely black, as if it's some kind of drawing of a bat too lazy to draw the details. This ability also allows him to, "Half," himself up. Which causes him to split into two people. When doing this, everything will be halved. His strength, speed, control of his ability, height, weight, and such.
  
  
• Solidify Sound Wave: Learned from his master, Nagato is able to make a loud, high pitched scream, which puts into a high frequency. With his white metallic blade, named Tenken, when he swings it in an extreme high speed, causing a sudden interruption to the waves of sound, the sound wave will be carried out by the forceful wind. Then, it starts to harden, able to cut through many things. (Basically, think of it something like a wind slash, but is made from speed and sound wave). The high pitched scream also causes Tenken to vibrate in high frequency, doubling the damage.
  

Strength(s):

• Master Swordsmanship.
  
• Master Escapee.
  
• Claimed to be fastest.
  
• Ability to dodge attacks in a cornered situation with his Deconstruction ability.
  

Weakness(es):

• Even if he is considered to be the fastest, when it comes to strength, he has no muscles.
  
• If he wishes to half himself up, everything will be halved. Intelligent, strength, speed, height and etc. As for his intelligent, when he is halved, instead of his original mentality, he would have two separate mentality of a child, around the age of 10.
  
• Easily harmed.
  
• While the screech may do some damage, it can still be irritating even to himself and allies.
  
• Running in extreme speed does cause a faster dehydration and famine. This requires Nagato eat frequently, even in battles.
  

I Wanna Know More!

Personality: Nagato is easily described as a negative-viewing type of guy. Whenever there are things to speak of, he does not see it as something to be looked in the positive way, but rather negatively. If he is in victory, he doesn't scream in joy, but rather speaks in solemn. Unlike many Serpentes, who has special grudges against humanity, or kills just for fun, Nagato's reasons are different. He not only dislikes humanity, but the world itself. He thinks that the life of the world will cause everything to rot, and that it is his job, as the next generation of his master, to rid of everyone. He first wants to wipe out humanity, then the other organisms, and soon, the Ryougans, and lastly, himself.

He wasn't always like this though. Few years ago, he was actually a bright and cheerful boy. However, when his master died, he and his best and only friend split up, ending with two opposite principles, and became the worst enemies. Though he is always negative and such, he does have one person he admired, and that is the dead Master. He started to change after his masters death.

In fights, he is rather arrogant, and merciless. He is even more arrogant when it comes to his speed. Though his speed may not be fastest thing in the world, he claims that he can easily break through the sound barrier with his speed, and that he may be even faster than any man-made vehicles. Even if his enemy is down, with their organs cut off, he will show no mercy, and kill them instantly. No one knows if he does this because he wants to put them out of misery, or because he is disgusted by living beings.

Likes/Dislikes

• Nagato does not favor anything. He sees everything in a melancholic way, and has no positive views.
  

• Because of Nagato's melancholic behavior, it can be easily taken that he hates everything. However, among everything, he seems to despise those, "Positive," people the most.
  

History: On the night of new moon, an orphan was found on the coast of a river. The child had the darkest black hair, with the pupil of a demon. Fortunately, he was found by a loving couple, who could not bear a child. When they saw the little Nagato, they couldn't resist to take him in. Without knowing his name, the couple named him, "Nagato,". Living in a harsh environment as Verada is, they knew that they couldn't raise him under such a caring world. Though they wished to be the best parent they could've been for him, they sent him to someone else. This someone else was also called the Witch of the North. Preferring the name of Katherine, she promised them to train Nagato into a powerful man.

When Nagato moved to Katherine, he met another child. The child's name was Misto, who seemed far younger than him, but they were at the same age. Until their adolescence hood, they were used like slaves. Katherine ordered them to do everything, to satisfy her hunger, her greed, her desire. However, when they reached the age she waited for, things changed. Oh, yes, it had gotten worse. Running on errands like slaves was much better for the two. When the trainings started, it was literally, trainings of hell. The witch set out fire they had to endure, and such.

However, Nagato and Misto's powers for training was not enough. Thus, the Witch of North, "Took," their powers away, and gave them with new powers that was similar to each other. As the two grew with each other, they became best friends. They understood each other the best way, and even knew what each other was thinking. However, there was one major difference between them. While Misto only saw Katherine as a Master, Nagato saw her as a mother, but at the same time loved her as a lover. Misto also understood that Nagato was in love with her, and kept quiet of this.

When they reached the age of 15, misfortune struck them. Few people thought that the Witch of North was behind the death of few people. Outraged, with all they had, they came to kill the Witch of North. Misto and Nagato was gone during that time, and without any desire to kill the weak humans, Witch of North could not express her full power, and died. When the two arrived, they found the body of Witch of North. When seeing her corpse, Nagato was outraged. He went to the neighborhood where the humans survived, and he started to kill everyone he saw. The grudge was so big that he could never satisfy it.

Misto was there to stop him. The two fought, and fought, causing destructions everywhere. However, because the two had the exact equality of skills and strength, neither of them could have won. By the time the two were tired, Nagato promised, that he will soon follow the Witch of North. Then, he also promised that before he follows the Witch of North, he will kill everyone in this world with him. With such childish excuse, he thought that if his lover was not to live, no one had the right to live. Nagato joined the Serpentes, and Misto joined the Aquila.

When we say Strength/Weaknesses we mean about your powers, not the character himself (not that we're complaining).

I need to see power weaknesses before I can accept this. ^^;

Although, for his Self (de)construction you mentioned that everything is halved as far as his physical changes, which is acceptable; however, I ask if you can move that into the weakness area so that it's easier to find.

I need to see a weakness for his Superhuman speed and Solidify Sound Wave (which, by the way, I would appreciate it greatly if you elaborated more on) abilites.

[Nagato]

Okay, let me try to explain the solidifying sound wave a better way ^-^

[baalthasar]

just a pointer... how can you halve intelligence?

[Nagato]

To halve an intelligence as in, the age of brain, the quality and how fast it receivees informations, the IQ, and such. Basically since average people has the brain and intelligent of a 30 years or so, when he half himself, it will be at the intelligent of 15 years

[Giovanna Azzari]

Alright speed of light, we won't allow. Though, the speed of sound is... acceptable.


I don't really see how sound waves can really hurt anyone other than annoy the crap out of someone, but creativity's sake... I will allow it.

My concern now is that you need a more effective weakness as far as his speed goes. Not being able to turn while running isn't good enough for me. I need something that effects him, a limit of some sort. You said nothing about having muscle reinforcement while he uses this, so maybe that could be a weakness?

It's hard to judge intelligence in a city like Verada, were education is limited to experience only. As a 30 year old could still have the intelligence as a 15 year old without proper education, I think it all depends on personal growth. As far as intelligence goes it's borderline wisdom. So if you could give us an example of how... less intelligent he becomes while using this, that'd be great. ^^

[Nagato]

Meh, I suppose I'll change to sound. Anyways, as for intelligence, I don't mean intelligent as in the amount of knowledge, though that too will be halved. When I talk of intelligent I mean it generally. The intelligent as in the capability of the brain itself, which effects the maturity, strategical plotting, and such. The easieat way I can explain is, since Nagatos mind is of a 19 year old or so, then whwn halves up, he/they would have a mind of a 9 year old. As for weakness of the speed, I'm trying to find a better weakness.

[baalthasar]

why not something to do with fatigue for the speed weakness?

[Giovanna Azzari]

ACCEPTED!
*stamps forehead*


Hope you have fun!
