» Personality:
Augustine is an all around happy person. Taking joy where he can get it and finding beauty in the smallest things. Whether it was from a small flower found in the wastelands in which he had trained or it was the vast and beautiful ocean he had traveled over with his Grandpa. His days didn't hold regret because each day looked for the best of what it was. Not only did he find fulfillment in the natural beauty given by nature, but also from those around him. Even without having much interaction with people he observes things that are considered to him beauty. Like a father returning home from war to his family. Embracing his loved ones with tears of joy that had been long dried while he was gone. Or a kind heart who was the one to stop and help when others looked away or avoided. He noticed the evil within people and recognized it from his personal experience with entities within the wastelands, but he chose to pear within the good of each heart instead of the evil or the bad. Not only that, but he would spread what he felt and ventured to see. A smile to a distraught stranger, or a act of kindness towards someone who was worse off than him. Spreading it one person at a time allowed him to see the light within people even when all they could see was the darkness that encompassed their lives.
Simple isn't the word to use for someone who looks for the best, because finding that which is rare within a world where it is so easy to find despair and hate, and optimistic isn't it ether. What drives him is his overall hope for people.
Along those same lines he isn't impervious to sadness gained from others, but it usually isn't what they did it is why. One of the things that strikes him the deepest is betrayal. Because his faith is so strong in other people he places his full trust in his companions. Leaving no room for gray area he gives each and every one of them an open back to strike and open arms to embrace. Never ignorant towards people, but always hopeful of the light within their hearts he entrusts his companions with his life. When betrayal comes into play it is not just a simple as that. When Augustine places his complete trust upon someone it is a bond. He has full faith within that person and when they break that bond and decide to betray him they take that faith that he placed upon them and shred it to pieces tell it is unrecognizable. Not only does it completely let down Augustine, but it infuriates him, because that which he treasures most has now struck him and it is her proverbial soft spot.
From this place there are two ways that Augustine reacts. The first of which is in anger, and depending on the severity of the betrayal he will place his full power and attention towards eliminating that former comrade. Though this only happens in extreme situations it is something that is a completely possible outcome. The secondary and more primary response to betrayal is either forgetting the person, or slowly rebuilding what they once had. Though this is an extremely difficult process with him it is one that if full reconciled is as strong as the original bond.
Another thing that sets him off about his companions is the loss of them. He never wishes any of his friends to be hurt, but if he loses a friend a passionate changes happens within his heart. First of which is his goals no matter what they are become refocused into simple things. First Mourn, second track the killer and third kill or defeat them depending on the situation.
Augustine doesn't believe in doing anything half assed. Even it is as simple as helping others he will take the shirt off of his back to help another. Nothing that is worth doing in his opinion is worth doing with any less passion. In combat he will force himself through hell on earth in order to reach his goal.
Faced against danger and adversity Augustine stands tall and takes it as a challenge. Never does he step down from a challenge and never does he do any less that whatever he can to overcome it. Like the fire which he calls upon to fight with his hear has a burning will that isn't ever extinguished. Through adversity, danger, pain or betrayal any of these which hurt him even if it is faint as long as he is alive there will always be a fire within his heart that propels him. This happened to be the deciding factor of why Abele chose him to become the Boss of the Zanna Nara Mafia. It wasn't just his power or his kindness but the ability he had to move through things with all that he had made his decision definite and made his decision one which he never regretted.
Though his passion may make it seem like he is extremely impulsive in nature he is actually more thoughtful than most believe compared to popular belief. Though it happens extremely quick he trusts his instincts to the extent of what he thinks about something or from what comes up with he goes with. He doesn't contradict himself and is always confident. Without those he could not be whom he is. With a smile on his face he'll announce to the world a single idea and he'll do so without hesitation or fear.
An aspect that he gained through his adventures that has stuck to his personality and has changed him is what he saw and experienced within the Wastelands. Much like a soldier coming home from war he saw things that he could never erase from his mind. Savagery that at times made him puke from just the mere thought. Cruelty that brought tears to his eyes was abundant as well. In a place where all beings of evil strive to destroy and do evil Augustine was an audience to the horrid ways they chose to not only treat others, but humans as they wondered into the place which could be described as hell on earth. This trial was one that could have and almost did break him, but instead of allowing it to completely destroy who he was he allowed it to be the catalyst to who he was. Instead of looking at everything as what he saw within the Wastelands he made the choice to look at the light. Instead of living in fear and hate over what he saw he chooses to live a life of happiness and perseverance. This experience did force him to experience evil that most would never see and shouldn't have to seen, but because he did he was given a choice and each and every day he takes that choice to the best place he can instead of taking it as the death of him. This can be seen as the hell he endured to find the rays of light in life.
Friendly:
Augustine is extremely friendly. No matter who the person is, or from what walk of life Augustine is a friend to all. He believes no matter where a person comes from and no matter who they are that there is always a reason to be friendly and kind to people. Unless they have done something he has deemed worthy of not accepting, he does so for all. He finds people to be the most important part of his life. So being a friend to them and caring for them
Uncensored:
Whether it is from him being naive, or just how he was raised Augustine is never censored. He doesn't hold back his opinion and he calls it how he see's it. It may not make friends at some point, but whether it does or not it isn't his opinion that drives this, it is his affinity for the truth. It was like it was something from his childhood that never went away.
He spent many years only interacting with his Grandpa Abele so through that it may have just been a defect in his learning to interact with others, but before he had undergone the training he was the same with uncensorship
Goofy:
Augustine is goofy. He loves to have a good time and if he can make a cheesy joke he will. He finds most things even with the smallest amount of humor funny. He can be seen as a class clown of sorts who mostly indulges injokes, or just recognizing/enjoying humor, but he will also rarely prank people.
Unlike other parts of his personality this is something that he consciously does. He chooses this to be who he is. He not only does it for himself to be happier, but does it so others may feel happier or more comfortable around him.
Protective:
Augustine is protective towards people who he holds dear including blood family, friends and his "Family" or Mafia.
When it comes to Blood family like his parents or his cousins Because he grew up with them not only does he love them dearly, but seeing harm being done to them is also something he doesn't tolerate.
With Friends he has just about the same amount of protective feeling, though a little less, because his blood family are those whom he has been with his entire life he hold people most dear so those he ventures to call his friend is someone that is precious to him.
Finally the most protected and cared for one is his "Family" or his Mafia. The ones whom he sheds blood with. He trusts these people more with his life so he protects them with his life as well. For these people Augustine would give all in order to protect.
Leader:
Not only is it in his blood, but for 10 years he was taught by a person with hundreds of years of experience in how to lead. With all of those hundreds of years of leadership it was developed through victories and failures. All compounded into one persons knowledge. With that Abele(Augustine's Ancestor) taught him everything. Not only the history behind the entirety of the Zanna Nara but each and every step it took to get there. Each failure and success was taught upon, and the way he excepted it was at an amazing rate. With the special attribute through his family known as Hyper Intuition he is able to adept to things that he is taught extremely quickly. As a Leader Augustine never sacrifices his men. He makes decisions based on experience and what is best for his allies. He is confident enough in those around him that he can delegate tasks without having fear of them having any less than great results.
Passionate:
Augustine is extremely Passionate. Like his powers his passion burns like a strong fire within his heart. It may have been something that developed overtime, but his passion encompasses people. His family sense the first generation lived to protect and care for those closest to them, and not only was this a trait that they held in his family's first generation, but it was something that he held dear to himself.
Augustine is able to fight for himself and what he believes in, but he acts and does what his passion is, and his passion is for those he holds most dear.
» Likes:
Cooking:
Something that he did every day multiple times a day with Abele was cook. Because Abele originally owned an extremely high quality restaurant along with being straight from Italy he not only loved to cook, but did it extremely well. So every day Augustine would do so with him and just as his Ancestor did so does he.
Abele was originally from Italy so what Augustine was taught and loves to make is old fashioned rustic Italian dishes. Large meals made for himself or groups of people. Even thought he has a broad and great knowledge of Italian cuisine he isn't constricted to it. He would enjoy could just about anything as long as it tastes good.
Eating
Augustine has just about an endless stomach. He'll have about 7-8 full meals a day, and still be hungry. Especially while he was training he would eat like an elephant and end up using it all just the same.
He was never exactly picky, but his favorites were heartier dishes or dishes with strong flavor. When it came to Italian staples like pasta he never really cared what kind of pasts it was, but he always loved a classic marinara, or a pesto. Of course with a Marinara there also is a bolognese which was heartier, but it could never replace the great taste of a classic Marinara. Also when it came to meats things like roasted meats like brisket, roast or veal he loves as well.
Other things he enjoys eating include sweets. He is crazy for any kind of chocolate based sweets whether it be Ice Cream, Cakes or candy. Not to say that he didn't like things like Caramel or butterscotch he just prefers chocolate more.
Family:
His family is what's most important to him. If it would cost him his own life or everything he had he would defend and take care of his family. Family being not only his blood family, but also his Zanna Nara Familia.
People:
No matter the wealth or riches he will ever accumulate with in his life time those will never give value to his life. In his view what really gives value to him and his life is the people he chooses to hold dear and close to him.
Celebrating/Partying/Having a good time:
Part of the people portion is having fun. Augustine loves having a good celebration over good reason. Dancing, drinking and all around good times are something that Augustine takes great happiness in.
Blowing things up:
This is a pretty simple and natural part of him, and because he is able to manipulate Fire he loves using it to blow stuff up whether it be big or small it's just a little hobby he'll have.
» Dislikes:
Disloyal People:
Those who misplace Augustine's loyalty are in his bad graces for a long time. Though he is able to forgive them it is not immediate, and it is a hard earned return back. Because he leads his life in a way where people are such an important thing to him when it comes to things that are negative that branch from them they have a greater impact on him.
To be threatened:
When he is personally threatened Augustine never takes it very well. In fact he takes it as a challenge to be met by whatever force necessary to overcome. It may seem as a pig-headed point of view, but he never backs down in those situations. He confronts them.
Extreme Weather:
In any extremity of weather it being a blizzard, maelstrom or anything alike to it he hates. If he must deal with it he will, but it irritates him to no end.
He spent time in the wastelands the the extreme weather ether way now just makes his extremely annoyed.
Rodents/Skunks/Irritating Animals:
Any of these things he finds to be filthy creatures. Not only does he actively avoid them, but he will literally run a marathon to avoid them. The little features that each of them have to distinguish how undesirable, and all around gross they are just freak him out a bit.

» Background:
- Prequel:
Prequel
Augustine's story begins much before he was actually born with his Ancestor Abele Zanna, and his son.
The Beginning
Abele immigrated over with his family and four other families which he had held closest to him at the age of 22. Immigrating over to New York City they immediately began to make their presence known. First starting a business of his own being a Italian restaurant his and the other families began to implant themselves in the area. Only the adults within these families knew about their true intentions, but never the less for those 8 years they implanted themselves into the community.
They slowly became well known, for instance Abele's restaurant was one of the top restaurants in New York City. Another family which immigrated over with them became extremely influential and apparent in the police force. After enough years they finally started making their moves to make New York City theirs. Taking "protection" over the local business's while the area was rampant with gangs and such was easy, and as soon as those were under their protection the illegal businesses being less put together than most were just the same. It only took 2 years for them to own 80% of the illegal business and for them to have 75% of the legal businesses under their protection they were effectively in power. Being in power they had made a life in America.
By the age of 40 being in America for 18 years Abele was able to make decisions on their future now. Originally their family was created from necessity. They lived for each other and did what it took to stay alive. Being caring parents Abele and his wife decided to give their children the choice whether or not to join when they were of age. Meaning 18. They had two sons each of which with their own strengths and each of which perfect for the Family. The eldest brother joined without hesitation, but the younger one hesitated. He took exactly one week to decide whether or not to join and after that one week he declined. Being the parents that they were they happily still accepted their son, but after 2 years the son left for the west coast. They still kept in contact, but he was never active in the Family.
The War and Death
After so many years in power during the golden age of their power the Family had spread over the world. Over the 30 years that Abele was in power around 1980 he spread the family over the continent. With bases planted everywhere in North America by him and his family it was apparent everywhere, but transparent as well. It was firmly implanted in all Government and many large cities including business, legal and illegal. With the original family who were in Italy they had already spread through Europe and part of Russia. Being so ever present they were preview to secrets and things that most humans never would know. Abele sought after these secrets to protect his family. In turn he became one of the few spiritually awoken humans of his time. His power being raw but extremely strong he was able to be the guardian his family deserved. Spreading this to few of the other leaders within the family these people became known as the Scudi Benedetti, or the Blessed Shields. Their powers allowed them extensive lives and have strengths not available to many humans.
After nearly two decades of training, teaching and perfecting something happened that shook the foundation of the world in late 2009. These powers and what was related to such things became known to all. With new people with the powers and groups appearing every day it was the beginning of a bloody and continuous war for control. The Scudi Benedetti separated to places where they were most needed and fought. Slowly the family was being whittled down. At first it was smaller towns which were being taken over, then it got worst. Capitals being taken, entire families being killed it was alike to the times of the origin. After 150 years when Abele's wife had passed and him and his son were at the head of the Family in North and South America. By this time the war had been so bloody that they only had bases within 15 Major cities around the continent. Having out-lived many others with his strength Abele was now the true Godfather of the Zanna Nara. Unfortunately that wouldn't mean much for long.
The Final Blow
On that fateful day Abele looked around his mid 60's in amazing shape. His son looked around the age of 30. Standing inside his stronghold cooking a meal for the leaders of his family, was happy on this day. The sun was bright and his closest friends were around him. They drank, celebrated and lived the day, but as the night came so did the attack.
Sitting at the head of their table as Abele took a sip of expensive Italian wine a massive explosion was heard from the front. Madly running in with a frantic haste one of their soldiers busted open the door and yelled
"Boss we're under attack!"
Dozens of Hollows, Demons and Arrancar flooded the base killing each and every person they came into contact with. With him and his son there and the other Scudi Benedetti separated in the other two cities they were all under attack. Taking only a few moments to prepare for battle Abele and his son exited the room and in haste ran towards the battle. Gathering their elite together they pushed forward and started to battle in the main area of the battle being the courtyard of the base. This group was easily eliminating stronger groups and supporting the weaker soldiers, but it never seemed enough. The battle continued on for two days straight nearly non stop, and even though their force was weakening and lessening the enemies seemed to be never ending and getting stronger as time passed. It finally got to the point where they retreated into the base and were battling there. With 4 Elites, his son and himself left they stood in the room where they had originally had dinner two days before. They looked upon each other and Abele had felt sentimental at this moment, but knew what was to come next. Taking a drink of his favorite wine the door which was closed was blown open. As he set the glass on the counter top he had picked it up from his men charged in. He immediately followed. Holding their point for as long as they could the elites began to drop until it was only Abele and his son left. The two of them being the strongest of the entire family held well until the oppositions leaders appeared. Each of them the strongest opponents the two had ever faced. Going into battle against the 3 leaders the two of them held themselves well up until they could not use their full strength.
Supporting each other and fighting they kept at it until Abele noticed a severe drop in his son's power. He turned around and saw a hand pierced through his son's gut with blood dripping
Abele immediately separated the enemy from his son and jumped back holding his son. With the enemies closing in his son didn't have much time left. He stood up straight and looked at Abele his father and said
"Father you must live... I don't have much time, but let.... my last stand... allow you to live..."
Abele wasn't going to stand and watch his son die for him, but as the enemies closed he knew if he died here so would Zanna Nara. He hated his own guts, but because he knew his son wasn't for this world much longer he decided to do as he asked and escaped.
- Genesis of the New Family:
Genesis of the New Family
Abele had enough self hate after this that he had no idea what to do. So he did what he thought was best. At this time he was no longer fit to be the head of the Zanna Nara. He had let his entire family die so all he would be good for was giving them one more shot to live. To do that he would need to be extremely patient.
For 50 years after the fateful day he was in deep hiding and when he finally resurfaced there was only one chance that the famiglia had and it was the descendants of his son. The one who had made the choice not to join. With everyone else dead Abele tracked down every single descendant of his son and waited. For nearly two centuries he watched over and protected the descendants of his son. He also trained his powers in this time so as to become someone who could help this generation rise. He watched his son's descendants for who would have the right strength and qualities to become the head of the Zanna Nara. Finally in the year 2404 he found him. A boy at the age of 10 showed amazing potential for power and qualities befitting someone he could give this legacy to.
This is where the destinies of two intertwined even if for a short time of Abele's existence.
- Childhood:
Childhood
Augustine was always a funny child. When he was around the age of 4 was when he began to see spirits and things alike to them. It was a common thing for many to be able to see spirits, but to most at his age were fearful. For some reason though he didn't not find what he saw to be scary. He found it amusing, and most of the spirits which he saw weren't bad. Some were sad, others angry, but in the end no matter who they were Augustine was friendly to them and befriended a lot of them. For many years that is the only spiritual power he held.
As the few years of his childhood passed by he made many friends and was liked by many people. He never really cared for things, but people were always what he liked to have around him the most.
In this though is where his power began to blossom. His best friend as a child was a girl named Talia. He would see Talia every day for a great portion of his childhood and she was his closest friend. They were practically inseparable the entire time. There was an incident though one day. Every day they would walk to school together, but on this specific day Talia was late, so Augustine had to leave without her. As he walked across the street to his school Talia came running after him yelling his name
"AAAUUGGGGGGIIIEEEEE!"
because she didn't want to be late, but as she did a car came flying down the street at a much faster speed than it should have. As it got closer the moment it had no regard towards Talia. Augustine had turned around and watched as the entire situation had developed. Just as the car was a few meters away from Talia something clicked within Augustine and in a blink of an eye he was standing between her and the car. With his right hand extended and the vehicle crashed into it and as the smoke cleared it was as if the car had his a tree. The entirety of the front of the was smashed like a V as Augustine stood there with a aura around his body. Augustine walked walked over to Talia, helped her up and as they crossed the street from the exhaustion of using such a power Augustine immediately passed out. After he did Talia shook him and yelled in his ear
"Idiot wake up!!!"
But an older gentleman walked up and lifted the boy into his arms and looked at the girl and said
"Don't worry about him. He's just rrreeeaaallllyyyy tired! I'll take him home."
This old man wore a black suit with a hat which looked like an old mafia hat. Walking Augustine back to his house he knocked on the door and as it opened was met with a look of shock as it was his mother who was staring at the man. He handed Augustine over to her and said
"He isn't harmed. He is just extremely tired. Though you may not understand it now this young man is the one to be the savior of the Family. Take good care of him."
With that the old man turned and left and as he walked away the mom yelled at him asking
"Who are you???"
With a smile on his face he lifted his hat from his head and turned around to reveal the old man was Abele
"In due time my dear all will be made clear."
Turning back around and placing his hat on his head he walked away. Soon once the boy had realized what he has truly unlocked then Augustine would show him the way, but until then he would keep an eye on the boy and watch as he grew into the man who would become the Secondo Boss of the Zanna Nara Famiglia.
- Creepy Old Man:
Creepy Old Man
Two years passed from that first day that his powers were revealed. Over the first year there was three incidents where Augustine unknowingly unleashed his powers. First of which is when a friend of his named Jorey was being picked on. The boys whom were doing so first off just yelling bad names at him, and that was it. But as days passed it got worse. Soon it became a single hit, then multiple hits then a full on beatings. Augustine was never around when this had happened, but one day he turned a corner at their playground and witnessed a beating unlike any he had every seen during tv shows or movies.
Blood was dripping from the boys mouth, nose and ears. He had bruising all up and down his body. It was a gruesome scene even for an adult, but when Augustine witnessed it and became enraged. His power was so strong and so passionate that it tore the ground apart. He walked towards the bullies whom had taken notice to him and as they watched him in horror they all made a run for it. This boys powers even at that age was one to be feared, but as they ran and his power subsided he fell to the ground unconscious because of the showing of all of his power.
The second time that year that his power took hold of him was when he was throwing a temper tantrum. He had been a rambunctious child thought a very funny one and sometimes did so at the expense of either his grades or his good manners. At home he was grounded to getting really bad grades so he had all of his toys taken away from him. Sitting in his room distraught he started breaking stuff when all of a sudden his power turned on and he broke that side of the house... Needless to say his parent were surprised at his strength and from that day on took special precautions in order to make sure he was able to control his emotions. Even though he still knew nothing of his power.
The third of which was much less of a radical use of power, but one that noticeable all the same. He always found things like P.E and athletics to be extremely fun. He loved competing with others and loved to win the most. One day they were doing mandatory running for P.E and the one who was the fastest got to skip out on the rest of the days mandatory activities. As he waited to get up to go he got more excited and pumped. At the start of the race he wasn't doing well at all, but as he got a quarter of the way through that same power seemed to click and his speed became one of that which insanely lapped the others 3 times over before they even finished. It freaked some people out, but was a great day for Augustine.
When that next year arrived Augustine still hadn't consciously used his powers once. Each time they would be activated for one reason or another without his knowing. Until the day when horror struck his school. It was a day like any other. Augustine was in class and half asleep trying to listen to his teacher. There was never a day where he had to ever fight for his life. Or any others matter of fact, until this day arrived.
With a line of drool down the side of his face he was half asleep attempting to listen to what his teacher was saying until he heard a scream that fractured his sleep and jolted him awake. He jumped to his feet in an alarm and wondered where it was coming from, but no one else seemed to care. In fact they all stared at him like he was crazy, but he knew he wasn't. Augustine sat back down, but a couple moments later he heard it again. He couldn't sit around any longer so he ran out of his class and down the hall towards where the scream was coming from. Exiting his school out to the playground a young girl was being chased by a 10 foot tall black monster with a weird looking white mask. The girl was screaming inside the jungle gym as it started to tear the gym apart.
Augustine was fearful for a moment, but didn't hesitate to run in. Now normally because Augustine unconsciously radiated a power that attracted hollows and things like that Abele would usually step in and eliminate them, but after two years straight of watching and waiting he decided to see how the child would react to a threat.
Now Augustine hadn't been completely aware of his power, but he knew he was different. He ran towards the monster yelling
"LEAVE HER ALONE"
When he did that the hollow turned it's and began to lick it's lips as it sensed the power coursing through the boy.
"You look like a much more appetizing meal... COME HERE MY NEXT MEAL."
At this point Augustine stopped when he was noticed that he attracted the monsters attention. The hollow charged savagely as it tore apart the ground where it charged. Augustine had no idea what to do so he just ran. He kept circling around the playground until the hollow finally cornered him. Staring up at the grotesque creature Augustine was afraid for his life, but felt some comfort in the fact that he was able to save the young girl from being hurt. He didn't want death, but that small amount of comfort allowed him to somehow cope with it. Being that people are the most important things in his life.
Abele was always only a quick step away, and he knew if the boy didn't realize the magnitude of the situation he would die. So moved at a insanely quick speed and seemingly appeared a few meters away from the boy. Abele was wearing a black suit with a white cloth scarf and a black hat.
"If you die here many others will dies as well, but if you can defeat this thing here and now you will save everyone who will eventually be killed by him. Use the power within you and defeat it."
For some reason it had never occurred to Augustine what would happen if he were to die. This thing would continue to hurt people, and what he had done would have meant nothing. The next part had partially confused Augustine, but he had noticed that there were times when he would be able to do things that no one else could.
If what this old man said was correct then he wasn't imagining what was inside of him. He had the power to beat whatever this thing was. The hollow didn't much care for what they were saying he just was now happy that he could eat two beings with power instead of one.
The hollow then lunged his head towards Augustine to take a bite out of him and as he did Augustine closed his eyes. It all came back to him like a flood. The reason why, and the strength he had. It wasn't any question of what it was or where it came from all he knew was that it was his. When the hollow was within a foot of Augustine an explosion of power burst from his body. So much so that it knocked the hollow backwards into the school building and almost took Abele's hat off. Augustine then in a flash of speed dashed to the hollow and jumped into the air interlacing his hands and smashed them down upon it's head crushing it's head and finishing it off.
Landing on the ground he turned around and looked over at the old man with his power now subsided. It was weird, Augustine had never seen this man before in his entire life, but he seemed familiar. His characteristics were kind and his smile was welcoming, so the only way he could think to phrase the question is
"Who are you creepy old man?"
Abele laughed because this was the first time he had actually gotten the opportunity to meet the one who would become the Secondo Boss of the Zanna Nara Famiglia, and it was an interesting way to meet at best.
"Soon you will know all about why today happened. Until then Keep your eyes open and head up. I'll see you soon"
Then in a flash just as quickly as he appeared he disappeared. Now Augustine could think about this all day, and would come up with dozens of answers, but instead he just itched his head and shrugged. The old man said he would know about everything soon, so he just let it be and went back inside. In order to not arouse suspicion he just said he had to go to the bathroom really bad.
As the day came to an end, like he did everyday, Augustine walked home with Talia and at the same street they had always parted they said goodbye and went home.
Just as Augustine walked through the door he heard a large amount of laughing in his family's living room so he walked over and to his surprise found his parents laughing with the old man. Now Augustine had already taken in what happened that day, but now he was sitting there talking with his parents. This was getting weird. His mom turned to him as he walked into the room and calmed his laugh saying
"Come over here honey! Come meet your Great Grandpa!"
Now this struck him as very weird. He didn't know if his parents knew what he had just gone through today, but knowing them he doubted it. They wouldn't be acting this goofy if they did. He went over and hugged his mom and looked over at the old man. Him with his same smile that he had before said
"Hello there young one. I am your Great Grandfather Abele Zanna. It is nice to meet you."
As their conversation progressed Augustine found out how the man was so easily able to convince his parents. Their Family crest sat upon a necklace he wore, and something that had been always passed down in his family were crests of the same kind. Abele described himself as distant family from Italy and had a way about him that charmed and calmed people. After around an hour long conversation Abele said he would really like to get to know his great grandson and asked if it'd be alright if he took him to get some ice cream. Augustines Dad was invited as well while his mom made dinner. So they piled in Augustine's dads car and drove to the best ice cream place in town.
Sitting at a table Abele placed his hat on the table and with his smile spoke
"Well it's time for me to tell you why I'm here."
The father looked a bit puzzled, but the boy having previous experience with the old man was just interested. A small hymn was taught to the generations of the Zanna Family. Something that originated from himself and was sung to his two sons and was passed through the generations. In a dull, but harmonic tone he slowly sang the hymn and upon the finish added something. The last few words were always "The Zanna Familia", but each generation had also been taught if Nara was put in after the Zanna in the hymn it was a calling or a summoning. The truth about the Mafia that the son who lived decided not join was given to him by his mother later in life, and this hymn signified that it was time to be called to arms.
The father immediately turned into a more serious face. Carrying the same trait of hyper intuition he knew what this meant, but hadn't taught it too Augustine yet. Now Augustine noticed that the word was added on, but as soon as his father turned serious it peaked his curiosity even more.
"Who are you? Who are you calling as well?"
His father knew what this meant, but needed these answers as well.
"My name is Abele Zanna the Primo Boss and Patriarch of the Zanna Nara Famiglia. I have come to call upon young Augustine, for he has shown not only the attributes, but the power to rebirth our Famiglia."
Abele then went on to describe the history of the family and why it came to this. Where he had been, how he lived so long, and about what made Augustine viable for the next Boss. After the description there was a long silence. Augustine understood it all, and now knew what had happened to him, but it was now his choice whether he would or not. His father broke the silence by saying
"I will allow it. If he agrees you have my permission to train him."
Augustine was surprised that his goof of a father would agree to this, but at the same time they both knew the seriousness of this, and that if he was able to rebuild the famiglia their family would be protected from whatever was to come next.
Augustine thought a moment and the entire idea was something that he knew he would find happiness in doing, so because of that reason he said to his Dad
"I wanna do it Papa."
Abele was happy towards his response and gave him one weeks time before they would leave to train. His mom and Talia were sad, but he was doing this for them. So after one weeks time with a suitcase of clothes he left with Abele and they departed to begin his training.
- Training/Teaching:
Training/Teaching
Traveling with Abele was odd. He definitely acted like an old man, and looked as if he was around mid 70's, but he was as spry as a 20 year old. He might have even been better. It was extremely different for Augustine. He was used to being babied by his parents and having things done for him, but Abele treated him as an independent person. It was weird, because of Augustine being a child, but he would soon learn that it was necessary for him to become strong. They first traveled on a plane to Yukon, Canada then took a train to the Northwest Territories. After they arrived at a the town of Rae-Edzo and they stayed there for one before departing again. During this time they didn't really talk much at all. Though Augustine was interested in the old man he just didn't know what to say, and it felt kinda awkward, because he had never met this person in his entire life, and he wanted to say something, but he never knew what to say.
They then gathered as much gear as they could carry and hiked for 3 days straight. Until they reached a large estate with walls almost as tall as the 3 story mansion in the middle of it. The estate seemed to go on for about a mile with different areas sectioned off with buildings or walls or things like that. One thing that was apparent though is that this was a place of training. They walked through the massive gate that was opened by what looked to be a weird aura around Abele's body and walked over to the mansion. It was colored white with a gold trim, with a few pillars in the front towards each side and 10 foot tall double doors as an entrance. It was like nothing Augustine had ever seen before, and he was excited once he entered. It was beautiful and majestic with the entrance room having a massive Zanna family crest on the far wall and a stairwell going up to the 2nd flood on the right hand side with 4 doors 2 on each side. It was more beautiful than any where he had ever lived before.
Abele smiled as he saw the amazement in the the boys eyes.
"Hahahahahahaha i'm glad to see the curiosity in your eyes August. This will be your home until your training is finished. There are 30 rooms in total, and we will be using this entire estate and more as our training grounds. You will learn hundreds of years of experience in fighting in ten years. You will become strong not from just the training, but from the resolve you feel in the end. First thing tomorrow we will start training, bbbbuuuttttt tonight find a room and we'll have dinner here soon!!!!"
That night after Augustine became settled in Abele cooked a massive feast and they ate that night like Italian kings. Once they were finished they sat in two large comfortable chairs in front of a giant fireplace and just relaxed
"So old grandpa why me?"
Abele smiled at the sentiment of being called a grandpa. He never thought he would be able to hear that, but he was glad that he did.
"Well August my boy you are one of a kind. You have the stuff that'll help you live out your life and become not only who you want to be, but you will be the one to protect all those whom are dear to you nnnoooo matter what."
Augustine itched his head a little and didn't entirely understand, buttttt he knew if someday he could do that then he'd want to! The night ended after many laughs and stories from Abele. August knew why he liked this old grandpa now, but soon he would realize that there was more to Abele then just a warm personality.
That night he went to bed happy and full, but the next morning he was woken up by a chill across his body made by an outside wind. As he opened his eyes he was outside the gates of the estate which was large forestry with a single road leading out. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked around so he could take in everything around. Then he suddenly realized he was freezing and started shivering a bit as a laugh came from on top of the gates.
These gates were 40 feet tall and made out of a special metal that is meant to repel or disguise the area from spiritual things. it was at least 6 inches thick and weighed hundreds if not a thousand pounds. Abele stood on the top of the gate in his Mafia clothes that he hadn't worn since they left. Draped over his right shoulder was a nice and warm looking folded blanket and in his left hand was a small mug of coffee.
"GOOD MORNING AUGUST!!!! WELCOME TO DAY 1 OF TRAINING! Today you will be opening this door"
He said this with a semi maniacal smile on his face, but at the same time was completely serious
"You will be opening this door with your powers, and if you can't you will probably freeze to death or starve. Good luck!"
Augustine looked at his grandpa with a "wtf" kind of face.
"Wait what do you mean?!?!?!?! How do I open it??? I DONT WANNA DIEEE!!!"
Augustine started freaking out an running in circles. He didn't know what to do, how to do it or with what. He knew he had a power of some sorts, but he hand no idea how to use it. The last time he used it was in an extreme situation and now he had to use it here or he was going to die!!! it was an insane situation, but he had to try something. So he first tried pushing the door. Then kicking it, punching it and biting it. Damn near nothing. He then sat on his butt and thought. What happened last time. He remembered he had that special power that allowed him to defeat the Hollow thing but he didn't know how Abele used it yesterday. He closed his eyes and envisioned exactly what happened. He watched the power fluctuate around Abeles body, but what did he miss? How was he able to open this massive door? He continued to watch the scene in his head then he remembered just before he pushed the door open Abele aura seemed to concentrate at his arm. Meaning that he really did push open this door with his strength. Which means Augustine could too.
He stood to his feet and closed his eyes focusing on how it felt to have that power overflowing from his body. He focused on the feeling he had when it last came from his body. The passion he felt towards others and the desire he had to protect them. With that his power was unlocked. Like pulling the pin on a grenade a large explosion of power surged through his body. He concentrated it towards his arms and placed both of his hands on the door then opening his eyes he pushed with all of his might and swung the door open with full force sending Abele flying into a near by tree laughing the entire way. His power subsided and he looked around for the old man until he was surprised by him falling from a tree and laughing landing right on his feet.
"You have it just like all the Zanna's before you boy. Normally it takes a loonnngggg time before someone is able to find a mastery like that, but you were able to in just a few minutes! That is quite a feet my boy!"
Have it? What is it? Augustine didn't know what his Grandpa was talking about, but he was happy that he figured out how to use whatever it was. He was happy right up until a giant growl from his stomach interrupted it all. Abele Laughed again and they went inside and had a massive meal.
Things like this happened all the time from this time on. Though he ate like a king endlessly he would push is body his body to it's limits. Abele would test his strength constantly. They would play catch with massive boulders, break down mountains and tear trees from the ground with their bear hands. This was a constant in training. He would learn how to use his powers and how to use it on command. Abele made sure that he would as well with "surprise" training and insane situations. While they did this thought not only would Abele train his body, but also his mind. Abele gave him lessons in basic knowledge stuff along with leadership, mafia building and people.
Augustine's power was most obviously pointed towards strength, but he also learned how to increase his speed through it. Though his strength was dominant, he needed speed in order to make it effective. After four years of training with these unorthodox but extremely effective processes at the age of 14 it was time for Augustine's real experience training. Now for these first 4 years they only focused on the intensity and manifestation of his powers. He had an untapped and untold amount of strength when he first began, but now they have been able to explore his vast amount of strength and give him the ability to gauge it. Another aspect that he trained was his Hyper intuition. At first it took him a while like in the beginning to figure things out, but as he was grew stronger and used it more he was able to assimilate things extremely quickly. Mostly physically for example like cooking, training and now it would be fighting.
One day after a month straight of "surprise training" Augustine woke up and was surprised. He didn't think that it would ever stop. He walked out of his room and went down to the kitchen thinking he was going to be ambushed by Abele, but all he found was a massive feast and Abele dressed in his Mafia suit, which he only did when there was a special occasion
Augustine was cautious, but he walked in and sat on the opposite side of the lengthy table and began to eat.
"So Grandpa what's next? Are we going to destroy another mountain? Race around the lake a couple hundred times again?"
Augustine expected some insane idea from Abele who he came to know as not only warm, but goofy and crazy at the same time. He put Augustine through hell and back while being a loving grandpa. Though he had never known him to be silent. Never once did he know him besides the first time that they traveled together. The silence remained for another few minutes as they both ate and when they were finished they sat there still until abele finally spoke.
"Well that was a great last meal here wasn't it?"
Augustine's interest was immediately peeked. This had been his home and training ground for almost 4 years, but now just out of no where they were going to leave?
"What do you mean?
Abele placed his elbows on the table and interlaced his fingers placing his chin upon them.
"You have learned all you could from me in order to start a Mafia, and in order to become the greatest Mafia boss. Except the fighting skills that it will take. The next place we will live in is more of a base than a home. But it will suffice until the experience you will need in order to protect and live is accumulated. We are going to the wastelands."
Augustine had read and learned about the wastelands but never thought Abele would go as extreme as taking him there to train, but the excitement of finally learning how to fight. After that they both packed up they left what had been their home for 4 years long and traveled to their base on the outskirts of the Wastelands.
With a gps tracker in hand, heavy clothes covering their bodies for warmth and large packs upon their backs filled with essentials and food they traveled to a cave with a latch that led them to a tunnel. Going down this tunnel it opened up to a large base with train lines to the outskirts of cities and with enough surveillance equip and prep gear to make it an official war base. They settled in and met in the main large briefing area.
"Here we are. The second and last place for your training. We will teach you here how to do battle and protect."
Now by this point Augustine was damn near doing a happy dance right up until Abele's face became extremely serious
"Augustine! Listen. Fighting is not something to be happy about. We fight to survive and we fight to protect. We never kill unless it's absolutely essential, and we use our abilities for the family. What I will teach is how to protect, defeat and destroy. The rest will be up to you."
For the next three months Abele taught Augustine everything he knew about battle strategy for big and small battle, Fighting technique, and about all of the different things he will encounter while battling. Everyday Augustine would assimilate what his Grandpa taught him along with putting it to the test. With his Hyper intuition in full swing he was easily able to learn everything that Abele had to teach. All the knowledge that is having to do with battle packed into one month of time and what it meant is that he didn't just learn in leaps and bounds normal wise he learned them as if he were jumping from state to state.
The objective of combat was to defeat the enemy and protect family, and that is exactly what he was taught. Once his first training was finished Abele decided it was time for him to experience what real combat was. Now Augustine could read about it as much as he wanted and fight his Grandpa as well, but he would never find his true strength until he was put to the test. Being wrapped combat usable clothing Augustine left the base and began to wander the wastelands.
His first assignment was a week out in the wilderness, and his first fight opened his eyes to what his Grandpa had been saying. He had walked in on a group of Arrancar's and demons fighting each other, and when he showed up he watched as they tore each other apart for the reason of just that. It was gruesome and bloody and needed to be ended. So with the fighting that he was shown by his Grandpa he ran in and within an hour defeated all of them. With blood soaking his fists he wiped them on the ground and knew what how combat should be taken now.
For the rest of the week he wandered the Wastelands and returned home. He discussed what happened with his Grandpa and Abele was happy that he understood. A day later his training continued.
He would do this again and again to where he even spent a year out in the Wilderness. Each time he came home he would be welcomed with a large feast and then going back out. He bathed in the blood of a new enemy almost every hour of everyday. Once he returned after his year trip he was back for a few days. Him and Abele celebrated for days and caught up at the same time. Abele knew what he had been sending him into, but was glad that his core personality had not changed. That he still had the qualities that would make the Zanna Nara alive once again.
After those few days there was a different task set before them. Abele showed him something of great strength that his entire family had, but when he did he found that Augustine was already one step ahead of him. Something that was prominent with in the Zanna famiglia was the ability to generate and manipulate a grand and destructive fire. When Abele showed it to Augustine he almost filled their entire training area with it except where Augustine was standing. Those Augustine was extremely impressed with his control he put his hand out and flipped his palm up creating a massive fireball. Abele began to laugh because he knew that the boy had been growing into his powers at an extremely fast rate. After that Augustine showed Abele the extent of his powers and Abele showed him what he could really use his fire for. After another week of training this was the last leg of his training. He had a two year wandering to do and all he could do was use his fire. So after another few days of celebrating and relaxing he left on his trek. This time though he was told to only use his fire in order to become strong with it. He also needed to have a fire lit at all times when he was awake.
So he left and decided it was time to visit the center of the Wastelands. Months went by and the fire that he had at all times never really gave him a problem, but when he used it for battle was when it really got to him. He kept persevering through the enemies that got stronger as he got closer to the center, and once he did he found a being who called himself the Kind of the Wastelands. He was a being with WMD level strength. Their fight went on for 3 days straight until finally Augustine defeated him. By the time they were finished the area around them for a clear mile was scored and destroyed. After that battle Augustine made his way home. It became easier after that. He found the true power behind his fire and from then it was second nature to him.
Returning to the base after two years of wandering was like a dream. Right up until he entered the main room of his base.
"Grandpa I'm home!!!
Usually he would be greeted by his Grandpa immediately, but it was different this time. He couldn't even hear movement. So he went and investigated his grandfathers room and found him laying in his bed and looking weak
"Grandpa Abele!!!"
Abele decided it was getting close to the end of his times so he stopped putting forward energy to keep him alive, and only devoted his last amount of time and energy to preparing Augustine for the rebirth of Zanna Nara.
"Augustine... my boy.. I am so glad to see you have returned..
He pointed towards a old wooden box with a envelope on top of it.
"That is a list of potential candidates, and their emblems. Inside your room there is a suit case of fire resistant clothing that'll be of use while your using your powers.
Abele then slowly took the necklace that was around his neck off which held the famiglia crest and put it around Augustine's neck.
"Augustine you must move on from here... and become the boss I never was... I the former Primo Boss of the Zanna Nara Famiglia... name you the Secondo Boss of the Zanna Nara Famiglia.. Now my boy... Leave me to my final rest so I may join the rest of my family and live your life to the fullest.."
With that Abele closed his eyes and faded away. Augustine couldn't help but cry for the only family he had known for 10 years now, but he did as he was told. took the list, the emblems and clothing and using an escape tunnel to a larger city where he took a plane home. He visited with his mother and father for two weeks getting to be with his family one more time before he left, and when he did he left with one goal in mind. To rebuild the Zanna Nara and always protect those he cared for.

Re: Augustine Zanna(Approved 1-5+)
Thu Feb 13, 2014 12:17 am
» Natural Attributes:
Hyper Intuitive:
Augustine has a trait that has been passed down through the generations of the Zanna Family. This Hyper Intuition allows him to understand something at an extremely quick rate with little to no previous instruction/practice.
When it comes to combat he is able to analyze, adapt and overcome at an extremely quick rate. Recognizing tactics and analyzing powers is something that he uses it for. Finding faults in tactics and picking apart the powers in order to either find weaknesses or ways to overcome them.
Another way he uses his Hyper Intuition in a combat situation is when he is learning or training. While Abele was training him for combat he was able to assimilate the training at a very quick rate
He also used that time to learn about his family. Using this he was able to learn the full strategy of protecting, growing and sustaining the family.
Insane Stamina
Augustine has an amazing amount of Stamina not only derived from natural capability, but also from his training. For the growing years of his Childhood he spent that entire time tirelessly training. This includes conditioning his body meaning his lungs with running and combat training. His Muscles with repetition in strength training and also Combat training. Towards the end of his training he had to keep a generated fire going at all times when he was awake for two years. It was an insane test of stamina and energy, but he overcame it and was able to walk from it extremely conditioned
Durability Through Experience
For 6 years wandering the Wastelands every single day Augustine fought multiple opponents. He was beaten down and injured against thousands of enemies, but still came out alive. With that it not only gave perspective into how great his resolve was but by the end of it showed that Augustine had was well kept together.
Trained Accuracy
Augustine was forced to use his fire powers for two years straight so during this time he able to train his aiming and shooting versus opponents of all different speeds. He also got the opportunity to train against enemies in extreme conditions and against those who flew went through ground and went on land. His Accuracy isn't perfect but he can easily hit center mass of opponents of most speed and placement and has a great chance to hit arms, legs or the head of his target.`
Trained Combatant
Augustine was trained by Abele who had hundreds of years of battle experience, and because of his Hyper Intuitive attribute he was able to absorb and expand on everything that Abele had taught him over those 10 years. For a grand total of 6 years he also wandered the Wastelands for real battle experience.
Augustine's Fighting style is a experienced smash mouth style.
As an offensive style it uses power moves meant for large strength hits. He also doesn't mind using each part of his body as a weapon. From his head using headbutts. To his shoulders using tackling type moves. To his elbows for short ranged high power strikes using the elbow. He uses his fists obviously in a few ways including broad power strikes to hammer strikes with one or both hands. When it comes to lower in his body he'll use his knees for brutal power blows and his shin down to his foot for wide side kicks, drop kicks or front kicks. His strikes are brutal and strong meant for damage.
In Defense Augustine with usually straight on block and attack or he will grapple it in order to gain leverage over his opponent.
When he grapples his opponent he'll ether use that to inflict pain/disable/immobilize or to hold them in place long enough to inflict a large blow.
Augustine's main objective when fighting if it is a 1 on 1 that he will finish his opponent as quickly as possible. He may be a happier type person, but in situations of battle he has a completely serious demeanor to him. Fighting is meant to protect himself and the ones he cares for. It isn't meant ot just hurt people so i he can help it he will finish a fight quickly. Which means he also doesn't have a problem with striking weak spots like the throat. What ever gets him to the end result the quickest of those he cares for being safe, then that is what he will do.
» Racial Powers:
Anima Stones
Necklace
In the Necklace his Grandpa gave him held his own personal Anima stone formed into the shape of their family crest. Because Abele in his time found their fire manipulation as the most devastating aspect of their powers his stone manifested into one that Augments fire.
When this Anima stone is activated the fire generated by Augustine turns into a yellow hue with green sparks. When Fire gets to a certain temperature it'll usually turns white because of the heat, but this fire is so intense that he was able to create a fire through the augmentation of this stone that had a much higher oxidation rate than without. Which means this fire is much more intense and burns through stuff much quicker.
Soul Detection
One of the biggest parts of surviving within the Wastelands, especially at night, was to be able to sense everything around. It was an ability which he needed to learn and adapt to extremely quickly. At first he could just faintly sense those within around 20 feet of him which was pitiful, but after so many encounters and years surrounded with things like demons, Arrancar and hollows his soul detection evolved. Through his hyper intuition and his experience with these different entities he has a soul detection that has a range of a mile or more if he concentrates. Also if they are Hollow, Demon or arrancar he is able to easily pinpoint and distinguish where they are and roughly gauge their strength. Not to an exact tier but between weak, mid strength and strong from a distance. Up close he is able to gauge much more exactly.
Soul Dash
Being a part of his training of refocusing a portion of his energy to his speed in order to make his powers more combat effective he learned soul dash from his Grandpa Abele. It's a simple soul dash that was put to the test while he was in the wastelands and actually became essential especially against quicker foes. Not only would he use his soul force to increase his speed, but at times of long distance movement or just a straight shot movement he would generate a burst of fire behind him allowing him to increase his speed as necessary.
» Evolution Powers:
Increased Speed
In the beginning this wasn't a primary power he had, but because it was necessary for effectiveness reasons he was taught and able to learn how to apply a portion of his powers to increase his overall speed.
He uses this in not only overall movement, but also for reflexes and action times.
Monstrous Strength
The most prominent attribute from his power was his strength. It was the most natural and intense power he had. With his reservoir of power being mostly placed into it naturally it was the focus of his training on how to use it, make it stronger and control it.
He was easily able to over thousands of enemies using that strength within the Wastelands, and as a primary augmentation that he acquired from his powers he uses it extensively in battle.
Fire Manipulation/Generation
Augustine energy which he generates is fire. His fire doesn't burn him so it allows him to cover his body in it and use it for personal enhancement reasons. He also uses his fire for mid-long range attacks. His fire is also weak/boosted by the usual things that fire is afflicted by like Water, Ice and lack of oxygen
Hand to Hand Fire Combat
First off to empower and improve his regular fighting style first the impact points including his:Fists, Elbows, Knees, Shins and the top of his Feet constantly generate fire that covers those places in order to add a burning effect to his attacks.
Secondly he will use concentrated bursts of fire behind a physical attack in order to greatly increase the speed and effectiveness of his physical attacks. Much like using a short burst jet engine. For example with a punch he'll use a short burst of fire behind his elbow in order to increase the speed and overall power of the attack.
When it comes to defense if a strike is strong enough he'll used the hand he is not using and create a constant burst of fire that counteracts the strength of the attack.
Flight
With a constant burst of fire from Augustine's hands and the bottom of his feet he is able to fly at high speeds depending on the strength of the bursts.
Fang of Fire
This is his signature Mid ranged blast. Something names and derived from his Famiglia name. "Zanna Nara" or in english Black Fang.
This is a two option attack.
The first way it could be used is with a fire surrounding his arm it'll spiral into a drill around his arm and he'll use it as a close combat attack.
The second way is Augustine generates fire around his arm in a drilling motion and blasts it towards his target by punching towards it. This spiral sort of "blooms" and expands into a drilling blast that has a diameter of 4 meters and a length of 7 meters. This blast is meant to drill and burn it's target and can be shot in a semi automatic style with a short "reload" time.
Scythe of Fire
With a flattened hand Augustine generates a stream of fire from the tip of his hand and chops towards his target. From that fire it sends a crescent shaped slicing fire blast
Wall of Fury
With fire generated at the top of Augustine's fist he'll punch it into the ground and create a wall of fire that can get up to 15 meters wide and 10 meters tall usually for defensive purposes in order to defend against energy type attack or enemies.
Fire Beam
Augustine creates a concentrated sphere of fire at the tip of his pointer and middle finger and shoots a concentrated beam with a strong piercing power that is meant to be a pinpoint attack from mid-long range distance. This beam is about an inch in diameter, but has a massive concentrated power.
Ground Flash
Augustine slams his palm onto the ground and a flash covers the ground in 10 meters in all directions and raises the entire area in an inferno
Fire Bolts
Augustine is able to create multiple fireballs of various sizes at will and shoots them at his opponents at high speeds.
Bombardment
Augustine covers his hands in fire and from that fire he shoots small pellets of fire with explosive properties at a rapid fire rate. These pellets are about as big as marbles.
Finishing Touches
Augustine was majorly in to cooking because of his grandfather so he named his finisher finishing touches. Something his Grandpa always used to say at the end of cooking a meal.
Fire is continuously generated and compressed into a single spear with a large spear head. Once this spear has a massive amount of fire compressed into it Augustine uses his strength and some of the fire he compressed to launch this spear at mind blowing speeds and once it lands it causes a massive explosion large enough to completely erase a small town.
_____________________________
» Soul State Evolution Stage 1 Appearance: Augustine's Appearance remains the same mostly. His body actually becomes more muscular through this evolution and his iris's begin to glow.
» Soul State Evolution Stage 1 Abilities:
This Evolution simply increases his physical abilities. First his strength is greatly increased. His muscle capacity is increased so his muscles grow bigger and he becomes much more durable. His Durability also increases with this stage of evolution allowing him to take physical or energy attacks more easily with less damage done to him. This essentially turns him into a Juggernaut making him a stand alone tank.
He also gets a special attribute through his eyes. They become sharper and almost scope like vision wise. He is able to pin point an enemy from a long distance and if he uses a concentrated enough shot his a person from long distances in which ever place he wishes.
» Soul State Evolution Stage 2 Appearance: When Augustine goes into this stage fire crawls down his arms and down his right arm it forms a cannon that is 4 Feet long and is one inch in Diameter. Down his left arm the same happens, but instead of a cannon his arm his encased in fire which become a gauntlet with claw tipped fingers. Each of these with fire and soul force are give physical form.
» Soul State Evolution Stage 2 Abilities:
This stage is mainly used against large amounts of enemies, or just large enemies. Each of which exhibit abilities that are meant to mostly cause damage over a wide area.
Gauntlet
This Gauntlet as a few different uses each of which have to do with fire
Fire Extension-
What this ability does is surround the entire gauntlet in fire and from there Augustine is able to shoot an extension of his arm made of fire meant to break or pierce through enemies.(Something like Naruto's Jinn Cloak Powers)
Greater Fire Manipulation-
Using this gauntlet Augustine has a greater manipulation over his fire. The way he uses it is from the gauntlet itself or sometimes if necessary against a large amount of foes other large bodies of fire that were previously generated and kept up by Augustine like a large sphere of generated fire. He'll use it in ways like creating tendrils to entrap or capture opponents, or he'll shoot it into the ground around him and cause it to burst up in fire under any of his targets. From here it's pretty much just whatever he can practically manipulate it to do.
Practically he is also able to use the claws and gauntlet in hand to hand combat.
Cannon
This has a simple function. It shoots off large concentrated blasts of fire meant to cover a blast radius of 8 meters upon impact. The Blasts are meant to have an explosive effect to them.» Soul State Evolution Stage 3 Abilities:
There are a few reasons this is a last resort. First of which is when he does this it takes a major tole on his body turning into the entity that is as hot as a star. He scorches the earth that he walks on and that which his around him in a mile radius can feel the intensity. He burns apart apart buildings and organic things like plants and such, but the heat radiated by him. This stage can only last four posts. This also means that he is weaker to water/Ice attack if they are able to reach him.
This is a simple three ability stage, because of the devastation each move causes.
Blast-
This simple name represents what it is. Augustine puts both of his hands in front of him and creates a ball of massively condensed flame that end up being a foot in diameter, and once he does he releases it into a massive blast that is a large as a three story building and scorches and burns through whatever is in it's path
Slice-
50 small spheres of fire appear surrounding Augustine in a few seconds and once they do they spin around him like a tornado each still keeping their individual shapes. After they have started spinning around his body outwards from each direction they shoot of extremely concentrated beams of fire which cut and melt through everything in all directions for 20 seconds..
Super Nova-
Using all that he has remaing Augustine focuses all of his power into the fire that his body is emitting and after a few causes them to explode in all directions like nuclear bomb with more of a burn to it he scorches everything from existence that is within mile of him. After this move even if it is his first he is finished. This takes all his remaining power leaving him with enough to live

Necklace
In the Necklace his Grandpa gave him held his own personal Anima stone formed into the shape of their family crest. Because Abele in his time found their fire manipulation as the most devastating aspect of their powers his stone manifested into one that Augments fire.
When this Anima stone is activated the fire generated by Augustine turns into a yellow hue with green sparks. When Fire gets to a certain temperature it'll usually turns white because of the heat, but this fire is so intense that he was able to create a fire through the augmentation of this stone that had a much higher oxidation rate than without. Which means this fire is much more intense and burns through stuff much quicker.
Yeah...we don't allow multiple anima stones...and since a good amount of the app is tied in to one or the other...I'm gonna hold off until you figure this out before we go through everything else.

"The dice have been CAST."
Anyway, been a month since the last post, so this app'll be going night night for now. If you want it back, post in the save me thread.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
