Nario Vallese [NF]

[Nario Vallese]

Character Layout

Name: Nario Vallese
Alias: "Nari" (General Public) and "Junior" (Mafia Members)
Age: 19

Personality:

Nario is very considerate of other people (which is pretty ironic, since he's the son of a Mafia Boss), always putting the wants and needs of others before his own (especially those in his 'family'); this includes necessities such as health and safety. In other words, if anyone finds themselves in danger or in need of help, he/she can always count on Nario to lend a hand. He even extends a certain amount of kindness to his enemies and targets, only killing them if it's absolutely necessary.

Nario is known by everyone as a cheerful and optimistic person who is always ready for what the world has in store for him... well, this is how he is now, at least. After his mother mysteriously disappeared when he was 4, Nario spiraled into a deep depression that took years of therapy to overcome; even now, he still has occasional fits of depression whenever he is reminded of her. Naturally, the subject of his mother is taboo.

Despite his bright personality, he still has his 'bad' points. Although he is a caring person, he still has an uncontrollable urge to prank others when given the opportunity. They are harmless, yes, but they can sometimes get out of hand, especially when he flat-out doesn't like the 'victim(s)' and does all he can to make sure they suffer. He also has a tendency to completely ignore the people around him while he's thinking about something or completing a task (even when said people are talking/shouting directly at him).

Physical Description:



(Note: Nario doesn't dress like this on a regular basis. When at home or in public, he will wear casual clothing; when at Mafia meetings or jobs, he will wear a suit and tie for the occasion. Actually, he only wears this get-up when he goes to costume parties.)

Profession: Mafia Member
Alignment: Believes in the Paranormal

Strengths:

Poison Master: While most people have hobbies like reading books and playing video games, Nario likes to play around with... well, poisons. Ever since he could hold something in his hands (without dropping it), he has been experimenting with as many natural and synthetic poisons as he could possibly find. This hobby not only made him an expert at identifying and using poisons, but it also gave him the knowledge required to create his own.

Dubbed "Poison V", Nario's poison is able to slow the bodily functions of the victims (impaired reaction time, ability to observe, thinking speed, and other related things) and make them incapable of noticing the effects until much later; in other words, the poison could be affecting them during that time, but not enough for their brains to realize something is wrong. Although it takes a while for the poison to take effect, multiple doses and strenuous activity will speed up the process. He is always sure to carry a few doses of the antidote on him, since it isn't exactly uncommon for him to accidentally poison himself.

To keep his father from worrying about his safety, Nario carries around (on his custom-made belt) a pair of "Poison V"-tipped twin daggers. While he isn't as proficient in close-ranged combat as he is in mid-ranged and long-ranged, he's still able to (somewhat) hold his own in combat with them.

Yo-Yo Master: Nario is a frequent user of specialized yo-yo weapons. He is able to carry up to six of them on his belt. Although he's able to use four yo-yos at a time (because of his years of practice), he's still trying to actually 'master' using this many. In all, he carries three types of yo-yos on him (with more in development):

• BoneBreaker Yo-Yo - Made out of a strong yet light material, with enough force behind it, this yo-yo is capable of denting even the tough outer shell of an android.
  
• Exploding Yo-Yo - Obviously, this type of yo-yo has the ability to create a small (but powerful) explosion. One can (purposely) cause this yo-yo to explode by using two methods: by setting the string on fire (like a dynamite fuse) or by pressing the two discs together (5-second delay). This yo-yo can be attached to smooth surfaces once the Vallese Family's design sticker has been removed.
  
• Android Protection Prototype (APP) Yo-Yo - This yo-yo was developed by Youma Kirai, a scientist who had been working on a special project involving the collection of energy in the air. At the request of Nario's father, he incorporated this technology into a yo-yo and gave it to Nario. While in constant motion, this yo-yo gathers and stores energy in the air into itself. When it reaches its energy peak, it starts to give off a red-colored electrical energy that is strong enough to stun an android.

Other: The only other noteworthy strengths Nario possesses are his slightly-above-average intelligence and agility.

Weaknesses:

Depression: As stated above, whenever Nario is in some way reminded of his mother, he goes into a fit of depression.
