[classy=appfield] PERSONALITY :: [/classy]
Nox is the kind of guy who gets along, or attempts to get along, with everyone. He helps as many people as he can and tries to not step on too many toes unless he’s resolved to. He tends to be pretty funny, especially in groups of people(even though his brand of comedy is just sarcastic remarks). Nox thinks on his feet when in a fight and resorts to tactics others might not think of or deem “fight worthy” in order to win. He says that “In combat, the ends justify the means.” He’s tenacious, sometimes almost to a fault. He is nearly constantly calm, unless driven to snap(which takes a lot). Don’t get me wrong, he’s no pacifist, he’s just not the first guy to jump in sword swinging. Although he’s not far behind the first guy.
Alas has some major problems with him too. He tends to dislike or distrust people when he first meets them, and if not that then he is very quiet and almost shy. While he isn’t the first one to draw his sword, he’s often times the last one to sheath it. He fights and fights and fights until every enemy is dead or all his men are gone. Nox tends to hold grudges against people for much too long, or he seeks revenge for little things. He tries to crack jokes for people or make people laugh because he loves seeing people smile. It’s one of his reasons for fighting as hard as he does, or so he says. He’s very crafty, even when put in seemingly impossible situations. Nox has several things that most people would hate about him. He clings to things that others would find trivial or stupid, despite the costs. He’s not a big drinker. He prefers to drink tea to drinking alcohol. Alas hates all forms of propaganda, no matter the reason it’s up. He says that people should form their own opinions on enemies and not have one forced onto them. He hates spending money, even if he needs something. And he’s more likely to spend money on something he wants over something he needs.

[classy=appfield] MISC INFO :: [/classy]
Nox was born to an average British family with ties to the mafia. You know, like every other kid. He was taught from a young age the art of swordplay, specifically Iaido and all that went with it. He went on to learn the majority of the fighting styles that relied on the Eastern Katana. Even mastered some. Eventually, he just combined most of what he had learned and made one huge art. Shooting was never really his forte, he was decent at it, but Nox really excelled at swords.
For someone with ties to the mafia, one might expect him to have been pushed to be a killer or something of that nature. Quite the opposite really. He was raised to the tender age of 7 very lovingly. That is until his parents were killed two days before their son’s 8th birthday. No better way to say “happy birthday” than to have to plan your parents’ funerals. What’s better is being told that you’re fit to one day lead a group called the Shimon, just because something happened and a flame appeared on your head for a few seconds at best, on the same day. And so Nox’s life continued. Only now, however, the young boy was raised in absolute secrecy. He lived underground in an underground house, accessible only by those deemed “safe and important enough to get close to the next head.” Because of his sheltered childhood, he grew up with limited knowledge of how to act around people in general, making him seem awkward and often strange to those around him. He did develop a loving for History and reading thanks to his “prison” though.
He was continually “groomed”, or as best he could be, to be the leader of some group he’d never even heard of. He was being groomed to, as he heard one time, be the “Giotto of the Shimon Famiglia”. Giotto was a name he’d heard of before though. Nox was being raised and groomed to be Giotto, or an all accepting leader to make Shimon into a powerful famiglia. His caretakers found it quite important to keep the young boy’s progress a secret from the outside world, often relying on spreading false information to do so. Dubbing “candidates” only to watch them die. People became tools to them. What the assassins didn’t know was that they weren’t even close to the actual head. Hell, they weren’t even striking at the feet. Quite a few “candidates” died to keep Nox’s identity a secret. To keep him safe. Nox was told of the deaths of the people, not as "candidates" but as people devoted to the cause, he was also told that he was to be the leader one day and needed to be kept safe. He only ever was told the name of one person. One Shou Kozuki died to protect Nox, or so he was told.
Nox was let out of his prison at age 18, when the grooming was done. When he was as they wanted. He was allowed to live in the outside world, but had to continue training daily. He got his first job, writing lyrics for a few different bands, and began to fit into society. If only they knew that he could crush everyone around him without even trying. His life was becoming normal, or as normal as he could ever wish it to be. Then that day came. The day he was presented with his ring and box weapon. He was given the position of Boss of the Shimon Famiglia and the nickname “Terra Deus”. Such an overzealous nickname. Typically box weapons were something relatively useful to the person who pulled it out. Typically something they could use or were actually skilled with. Not in Nox’s case. He pulled out an Eastern polearm. Something he’d never really even touched.
