» Age: 28
» Gender: Male

» Association: Himself

» Appearance Written:
Standing at roughly 6'6, Antonio is a tall, and rather imposing looking individual with his physical build being on the 'robust' side. Years of training, years of deathmatches, and consistent conflict have allowed Antonio to become a mountain of a man that stands dominant over his peers. A long, red mane of hair, a chiseled facial structure, and a stern looking pair of yellow eyes that have been known to invoke fear in his enemies complete a perfect combination to create the visage of a true warrior. He tends to wear combinations of light clothing, mostly to allow for less restricted movement, and usually wears the colors of purple, white, and black.

» Personality:
There is a lot to unpackage when you look at a man like Antonio, a lot of things have happened in his life that have shaped his mental state into the man that he is today. To sum up Antonio very simply, he is a man who believes that conflict breeds strength, and that for the only way for humans to grow as a species is to be faced with obstacles that need to be overcome. As such he views hand-outs or displays of charity as being sickening, he believes that everything must be earned as that is the only way to move forward, or the only way to truly place value on the things you own. There are exceptions to the rule, but those are very slim, and far between: such as the sick or elderly. Beyond that, everything must be fought for, and everything is available to be claimed if one is willing to struggle enough to obtain it.

In that same boat, everyone has value, even the weak, and that value can always be increased by hard work and effort. Overcoming one's weaknesses and enduring hardships builds true strength, maybe not of the body, but of the soul, and as such the value of the person in question grows. Those that are handed things or are gifted abilities by birthright are merely weak, outside of some aformentioned exceptions these people are by far the lowest form of lifeforms. These sort of people will find it extremely hard to make friends with Antonio, unless they themselves work hard, and are pushing themselves beyond just being one gifted their greatness. Which in that case, Antonio views them in a much more favorable light than their contemparories. At base level Antonio values hardwork and uses himself as an example of what it means to grab one's self up by their bootstraps and drag themselves to greatness.

But not everything is about striding forward with Antonio, there is also other layers, and an unyielding level of kindness that he levels toward children is one of those layers. Having been sold at a young age by a mother who wanted more money to pay for her drug habits, Antonio sees children as more valuable than anything in the world. They are the next generation of humanity, the building blocks on which society will grow from, and as such is something that is to be protected and nurtured. Those who target children or attack children are lower than those granted all of their powers, they are monsters that are to be stricken from the world, and destroyed for their actions. This is not an act of heroism or an act of justice, but merely an act of the world itself, the world judges these monsters as being devoid of reason to destroy humanity's future. As such they must excised like a cancerous tumor.

Still, Antonio does bear a code of honor, even if it is something that would be hard to keep for a man who strides to fight the strong, and to grow from every encounter. He does not challenge the weak. Viewing the weak as being pointless to engage with, outside of his aformentioned exceptions, this also extends to those that are weakened by conflict. He does not view attacking those who have already been injured or are suffering from injuries to be worth his time. He views this as picking scraps off of someone's plate and would rather fight these opponent's at full strength as to better overcome the obstacle that they represent so that he can gain the maximum amount of experience from them. Secondly, Antonio loves to train those weaker than himself. There is no greater pride than taking on a weak student and nurturing them up to being a strong warrior, his mentor did that for him, and he is more than willing to do that for others. He does not view this as a handout or charity work, but rather as him helping them overcome their own obstacles to grow truly strong. Lastly, there is respect for warriors.

Those who have overcome great hardships, those that have fallen in battle, and those that put their lives on the line for the future of humanity are to be respected. No matter how weak a person, if they stand to protect humanity's future, or fight to elevate their station through overcoming adversity? Then they are to be respected and are to be honored for their contributions. There are no exceptions to this code.
