╒GENERAL APPEARANCE╜
North obviously has a very strong build at first glance, but also something others notice commonly is his... height. Being a mix of asian and whatever else there is, North only stands at a short five feet and eight inches, but it seems, to make up for that, he's been building a strong body, with large muscles capable of carrying two or even three people. Across the back of his shoulders is a tribal tattoo, marking him the shade he really is from the very moment he was born. Scars and bruises taint his body in every place there is, the most noticeable being the giant scar running across his stomach.

Even his face looks as though he'd seen hell and crawled away, barely scraping by. His eyes don't even seem to bear any color than dark shades, and beneath his eyes are bags of staying up for late nights and dealing with his stress silently. His short hair is onyx colored and often unkempt. It's often brushed over to one side, if long enough, and most people compare him to a wet dog after coming out from a shower.

North doesn't care much for clothing. He'll often wear plain shirts with dark jeans or jackets - simple things that don't draw much attention to him. He'll always keep his dog tag on him though, whether its in his pocket, around his neck, or in his hand, it'll always be with him, and he doesn't give a damn about the people who give him the stares upon seeing it.

PERSONALITY
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

THE GOOD
◎ Calm ◎ Protective ◎ Patient ◎ Teasing ◎ Indifferent ◎
Contrary to what the rumors say, being a shade and a gang member, North is actually calm the majority of the time he's not in combat, and even in combat. He's very levelheaded, seeing how he can't exactly express himself with words, or can, but chooses not to. He's surprisingly patient with people, especially the younger ones, and often enjoys teasing them silently. Getting a rise out of people seems to be something that North's made his habit though. Thankfully for him, at least, he's indifferent to a lot of things and is very unbiased when it comes to deciding things, especially for other people.

He doesn't often seem very attached to some people, seeing how North is so expressionless all the time, but does regard some people that he wants to keep safe and alive. He'd do anything to protect them, including laying down his own life, but few know this.

Image

THE BAD
◉ Expressionless ◉ Violent ◉ Stubborn ◉ Defensive ◉ Rash ◉
Despite that utter exterior that North puts up in front of his fellow 'coworkers,' he is not exactly as he seems when he's fighting or challenged. But first, what's he like away from people he can tolerate? He's quiet, cold, and often doesn't show much on his face. Expressions are said to say enough words to describe how someone's feeling, but if that were true, then apparently North would be bored all day every day. He's incredibly defensive too, whether its of himself or someone else (though hardly the latter), and may even go as far as killing someone to prove his point.

North is a violent mass of destruction that being held back by a thin thread. He's violent, aggressive, and when he's into a fight, he won't think twice. He's almost lost his arm because he was so focused on cutting down the enemy. He's nearly lost his life more than he can count to try and push himself until he'd barely be breathing. And yet to this very day still, hardly anyone can stop him.


















ImagexImagexImage


ImageImage
╒LIKES╜
Cats - They're gentle, quiet, and calm. They don't create trouble.
Juice - Not much to say here- North just enjoys whatever kind of juice he can get his hands on, no matter how childish it may seem.
Silence - The silence is calming and calms him down. It makes him feel drowsy and sleep, acting as a sort of anesthesia for him in troubling times.
Soft Things - His hands literally feel like leather from all the burns and scars that have destroyed them, yet he can still feel things that are soft, and it's gentle on his hands that are so used to sharp and hard objects.

╒DISLIKES╜
Anything Loud - Despite being deaf, he can 'hear' when someplace is loud, and doesn't like it.
Fighting - He's a fighter, always in the front line, ready to attack and defend, yet North doesn't enjoy fighting. That strange, messed up mentality of his makes it seem as though he does when on the inside, he's tired of it.
Anything Set In Stone - Nothing is for sure or certain. He doesn't like believing that anything is either.
Talking - It's a hassle, and with the slurred way he speaks, many people can't understand North anyways, so when possible, he resorts to general sign language or complex, depending on who he's 'speaking' to.

















ImagexImagexImage









































Image
╒TALENTS╜
Sign Language - While North is very capable of speaking - besides his slurred words - he doesn't like to go through the trouble, and, when possible, will use sign language to communicate.
Cooking - Such a stoic person cooking, can you imagine that? No, no you can't. North doesn't really let anyone see him cook, and he never says when he does anyways. He doesn't even cook large meals anyways, often just small plates of food.
Calculations - This goes for both during battle, and mathematics. Despite North not knowing very much knowledge, somehow, he picked up on math much quicker and easier than others.

╒FLAWS╜
Deaf - Because no matter what, Nicolas Brown will remain handicapped, even in an rp North is unable to hear a single thing, often relying on lipreading and vibrations to 'hear.'
Distant - There's something about North that makes him come off as... distant. He's very closed off from others, and doesn't open up very much.
Aloof - North often spaces out, not listening to whatever or whoever is speaking to him. His mind tends to wander off often.

╒FEARS╜
Bodies of Water - North has no clue how to swim, at all, meaning any ocean, river, lake - any body of water that he is unable to touch the ground of, is capable of drowning him. Death isn't exactly pleasant, he's heard.
Attachment - Last time his violent behaviors spiraled out of control, he killed the only friend he had and went on this long killing rampage that was unstoppable. He had never felt worse about something, and to grow attached to people, to know that killing them is a possibility if he loses control, it's terrifying.
Heights - He's fine with a few stories up, but if he's standing atop something where, if he were to fall, he'd die, North will feel an extreme amount of comfort.

╒BIO╜
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

North grew up with his sister, well, his step-sister. He was born a shade, so technically, they are not exactly blood related, and being a shade makes him feel apathetic to such a situation. He cared very little for things besides her, since he didn't even have parents to look up to. Mother- gone. Father- ... did he even have a father? No, he was a stepbrother to Eden, technically. Neither of them minded, but it was so obvious he was a natural shade, with that dark, black tattoo marking his upper back ever since he was a child. The few scraps of clothing he wore back then wasn't enough to cover it up, and in the end, it was futile anyways.

Regardless, the two of them grew up poor after their mother left them on the side of the street. He knew his sister was getting into trouble to try and give them a life, but he couldn't do anything. He couldn't do a single thing. He couldn't do shit because he couldn't hear anything. North was deaf as a doorknob. Couldn't hear a single thing. The world was silent to him, so whenever he was talked to, he'd have to make eye contact and read their lips if sign language wasn't used. Even then, being deaf was unacceptable. Their society looked down on him, labeled him useless, trash, worthless - he wouldn't even have value if he were to be sold off. He was a toy, a destroyed, disgusting toy, waiting to be used and thrown out for the next son of a bitch.

While his sister was off doing 'honest work,' North tried finding his work elsewhere. As a shade, maybe his skills could be put to some use, so he offered to join various gangs at a young age, but all he ended up getting was bruises and scars. Technically, he got in, but he wasn't used to fight and protect people. He was stomped on, kicked around, shoved over, and a man even pushed him off a one story building. Ribs were broken, hands were bent out of shape, bruises freckling his body, scars tearing his skin apart, each day. He was hardly a teenager when one gang got tired of trying to find a woman to fulfill their sexual desires. He unfortunately happened to be in the area, helpless, too small at the time to even fight back. Although, one friend was always there for him. He always looked out for his back, even though the gang he belonged to would beat him up and use them in any way they wanted.

North never got to know his name, he never heard his voice, not once, but his mere presence was enough for him to feel comfort when his sister wasn't there for him. The boy was strange, the way he held his chin up, the way he looked at people, even the way he moved his lips made North curious about him. What was up with this boy? Who was he? Why we he so keen on staying that close to North? Well... he didn't ask, nor did he mind. Just sitting next to each other, both filled with injuries from the same men and women, was enough.

But North just broke. He couldn't stand anymore of the abuse, and the whole gang was taken down in one day, the only one left being his dear, dear friend, the only person who cared about him besides his sister. In the end, that boy commit suicide and North ended up alone again. It all happened when he was 24, when he finally couldn't handle it anymore. But on that same day, he met someone and that someone was Genesis. He found her on the street, and she offered to clean up that bloody shirt of his, although everything he was wearing at the time was covered in red, including himself. Why did he let her clean him up? Who knows... But thank god he did.

Because each day she irritated and bugged him those four years- every minute she kept on trying to grab his attention, every second she spoke to him or signed to him, made him feel some sort of strange attachment he wasn't use to like before. Why did he care about this woman so much? He really didn't know, and he didn't even realize how much she became apart of his daily life until one day she didn't bother him at all. She was no where in sight, and something drove him to leave his daily schedule just to try and find her. What was so different? Was something wrong? Did something happen? Where was she? It was that same attachment he felt that made the two what are are today, though few notice or realize...

They're subtle. Quiet, silent, behind closed doors, and even then, North doesn't trust himself entirely around her. Gentle, be careful, don't push too hard- he has to remind himself these things in order not to lose himself. He's crazy, he's insane- how did such a thing ever happen? He's glad that it did but... Is this really ok for someone like him to have? Does he deserve to have someone like her. This thing they have going on... he loves it. But at the same time, it shouldn't be there...


To this day though, no one knows who killed that gang back then. Not even his sister knows, and he intends to keep it that way, though he knows that insane aggression will one day return again.

Another morning of August passes by. The gross, disgusting city of Degluttait goes on, the 'sports' and 'games' they play continuing with each passing second. Turn the corner, you'll find a horde of prostitutes. Turn again, someone just had their brains shot out. One more time, and there are children huddling on the walls of dirty buildings for warmth, wearing nothing but rags and dirtied sheets.

The sky is painted grey, the ground painted red, and the people painted black and white. The scent is putrid, having been soiled by the smoke of cigarettes, toxin of the city, and breath of the men and women that are stuck there like birds in a cage.

Shades walked the city the night before, ones that were far from human. Some rose to be as tall as houses, some had terribly long arms, others had elongated necks with black teeth and claws. They come in all sorts of sizes and shapes, and roam primarily at night, where they are most comfortable.

But other problems besides that supernatural factor lie in this city. Darker problems stemming from the root of it all: humans. The gangs are still fighting against each other to this day, one hoping to rise high enough in the ranks to take over the city as the new king. The killing won't stop.

Today, two fires have started, one in the east, and one in the west. The 'fire' in the eastern corner of the city is centered around a group of the Tarots taking care of a shade that's overstepped its boundaries into the grey sunlight. It's already killed five people and injured seven and won't stop until it's killed. Thankfully, that's why the Tarots were tired, and the fight's still lasting. Turns out this shade might take some extra work to kill. Most are generally small, weak, and easy to kill, but sometimes... sometimes there are special cases that turn out to be quite the challenge. At least the pay is high and well, because there actually may be high chances of someone getting themselves killed.

On the western side, the Tarots have gotten into a bit of a fight with another gang known as Thirty One. Turns out one of them spat down at a member, and a few minutes later, guns are firing and people are falling dead on the ground. The fight originally was just a fist fight until someone decided to play dirty and took to their weapon instead. Now, there's no mercy, and the fight's been taken to Thirty One's base. They're struggling to hold ground against this ruthless group of people, and actual fires are starting around the area. They're playing dirty - using hostages, spreading out, destroying things in order to create obstacles - but that's how the fights work in a dirty city. People die, and there will always be a loser and a winner.

But in the end, the city swallows everything.

God was it so quiet... But it always was to a deaf man. North learned to live life without the noise, as it always that way, since the day he was born. He learned to pick up vibrations on the ground, in the walls, in the air around his ears. He lived his life through feeling around him and reading what people were saying by the movements in their lips. Each small twitch meant something, and the same went for during battle.

He couldn't hear the screams, but the opened mouths, the wide eyes full of fear and pain, the way they moved... North knew. He could 'hear' them screaming in his head.

North's fingers curled around the hilt of his sword, other hand smearing the blood that got on his cheek. A bullet flew overhead- he could feel it make a collision with the wall he had his head and back on. 'They just never stop...' He grumbled to himself as he thought, waiting for the firing to stop. It was hard using a close ranged weapon while guns were the new toys people liked to play with. Still... he was an A/0. A few bullets wouldn't stop him.

His closed his eyes while he waited. Why were these people firing anyways? If anything, the tips of his hair were the only things that gang could see. The moment the pounding on the brick wall stopped, North's dark eyes flashed open again and he turned the corner. Each and every one of those men and women were reloading their guns. Fighting close ranged had its disadvantages, but then again, having a bunch of shooters was a disadvantage as well, especially when they all weren't smart enough to fire in groups. 'Well... if we don't take them out now, someone else will in the next week anyways.' Thirty One was a small, new gang that could hardly think for itself. No organization, just a bunch of people trying to play the kid at the top of the playground. If the Tarots didn't wipe them out first, some other gang would come along with crueler intentions. At least they ended things fast, for the most part.

Once there was an opening to attack, North took it, standing from his hiding spot around the corner and making a quick dash for the group. Men, women... it didn't matter who was in that group because the adrenaline was rushing, and all he could think about was finishing the job as quickly as possible. Sometimes, he'd even be counting the kills without even meaning to. Every time he fought, every damn time, he didn't hardly recalled the events. He just... got lost in the action.

One man went down first, a clean cut at the throat. He was used as a shield in front of North as his own comrades fired at his now lifeless body, bleeding out quickly. North narrowed his eyes onto the shooters in front of him- a few men, one women... He tossed the body to the side carelessly, sword easily cutting through their limbs like scissors and paper.

However, when he reached that woman, his sword froze. He wasn't... he wasn't going to kill a woman, was he? The rush of his adrenaline kept him breathing hard, his focus jumping here and there. He couldn't hear other gunshots in the background because he was so focused on this woman in front of him, pointing the barrel of her pistol right at his chest, crying tears. He looked at her tag dropping from her neck. It read: C/4, she was weak. He raised his sword, ready to run her through and move onto the next group, but there was his one value he constantly tried not to break. He couldn't kill a woman, but this woman looked more than ready to put a bullet in his chest after what he did to the rest of her group.

    Taking out an enemy gang was a chore, much like how one of them always had to take out the trash at the end of the day. It wasn't the most thrilling or satisfying job, but it had to be done. At the very least, something like this didn't require him to be at full working capacity. He was, more or less, simply watching the flow of the battle and picking off any stragglers that were resorting to stealth as their weapon against the Tarot's strength. Smart move but unfortunately for them...

    Another one fell, Leo gritting his teeth at the recoil brought by his rifle. By now, the enemy gang had some idea that the Tarots had a sniper somewhere in this building, but his exact location probably hadn't been disclosed yet. He could afford to fire a few more rounds before moving.

    The perch from the building across the street wasn't the most comfortable, the smell of dust and rot eating away at his nose as he knelt on the wooden floor. Thirty-One, was it? Leo doubted he'd remember the name; he rarely did. It wasn't worth the memory space, considering in the end, every single one of them would wind up forgotten.

    A green eye peered into the scope once again, taking into account the chaotic fighting as he tried to decide where his next bullet would land. He watched North get surrounded but the brunette wasn't worried; they looked like humans, and they looked scared. The more fearful you were, the easier it was to take advantage of your weakness. Leo knew that North wasn't in any trouble, even if it appeared numbers were against him. He was about to switch targets when he saw North hold still. A frown marred his usually cheerful features. "North, what the fuck are you doing?" It was as if his colleague was hesitating. Well, if that's what was happening, then Leo would take action for him before North's reluctance got him killed.

    It was over in less than ten seconds. One moment the woman had her gun pointed at The Tarot's Tower, the next she was on the ground, bleeding out from the sniper's bullet that pierced her neck. Right on target; a grim smirk formed on his lips, satisfied that he was in pretty good working condition today. If his aim held true, which he thought it did, then the Star had hit a major artery and it wouldn't be long until she expired.

    What was that, North? Was that one of his few morals? If so, it was worse than Leo's devotion.

Dɪᴀʟᴏɢᴜᴇ Cᴏʟᴏʀ ◆ #660066
Tʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ Cᴏʟᴏʀ ◇ #585858

Blood, Blood, Blood, Everything seemed to be filled with this crimson liquid, Everywhere he stepped. Regulus himself, Embodies Justice, in his own twisted manner, Justice will only be established, when a fit ruler is on the top, Regulus has no respect for people who talk to much, or fight too much, That's why, Regulus has become someone who does both simultaneously.

Another day, Another dead gang, It was another clean up job, Eliminating a gang a month, Regulus doesn't get a thrill from killing like this, he likes to avoid unnecessary combat, but this, this bloodbath was needed, Regulus needed to rise to the top, and this was a required action to reach that goal.

Thirty one? The name of the gang was just as worthless as the people who were residing inside of it, Saying, "Oh no, We are all at the mercy of Thirty-One!", Doesn't exactly roll of the tongue. It doesn't matter though, They will all be corpses soon enough.

Regulus was hiding behind a building, Of course, He wasn't the fastest, So of course he was waiting for a good time to go in, They seemed to be split into little groups, a good tactic on paper, but unless they study their opponents, every tactic will crumble, separating in groups just makes easy pickings for the Tarots.

Regulus found the chink in the defense he needed, As his ally ran into the fray, North, was it? He was an A/0, Even if he was surrounded, It's nothing he can't handle, It looks like another cluster of people were looking at the spectacle unfold, but that was their mistake, One second he was sprinting towards the group, Another, there was no group left, With his duel blades, he slashed his way through, blocking an overhand attack, Slashing horizontally, to end the man's life, His attacks were swift, slashing forward with both blades to end two men, He made quick work of the group, the group was slightly smaller then North's, but they were roughly the same size. Speaking of North, Was he dubious?, Regulus wouldn't imagine that this killing machine would have morals to live by, but he stood corrected, He was hesitating to kill a woman, Regulus himself, kills people he views as "in his way", judging people on what they have done, instead of what they are, but, Of course, North wasn't in trouble, but getting injured because of something as minimal as this?, That would be unfortunate.

Regulus was at ease, The sniper himself, ended the spectacle, It was all a relief, Regulus slid his finger down his right blade, Wiping blood off of the katana before sheathing both of his blades, HE knew he shouldn't, but, he couldn't hold back, "Is that all? Thirty one, was eliminated in 31 seconds, How can you all live with yourself? If you all decide to come out of your hiding places, We'll make this painless", his face remained unchanged, but he clearly attracted the rest of the victims.
