Okay, so I'm going to post one of four characters that I currently have in the works. But a few disclaimers first. First off, while I was working within the parameters of this character builder, I found that a lot of what I have intended for this character had to be left out because there was no place I could put it. So, if it seems like some information that's not there should be, that's the reason. Secondly, I left Position/Class and Landing Strategy blank because I don't know how to answer either of those and I don't quite think I know what they're asking for, so if someone could clear that up, I'll edit it immediately to account for the missing information. And third, the information is surrounded by black bars for reasons I don't know, I don't know how to reverse it so I'm just gonna have to leave it like this. And last, this is not the leader of the team, that's another character, the reason this character is going first is because I imagine this one's probably going to be the one to get the most criticism. That said, here's the character:

<p style="margin:4.8pt0in12pt;line-height:18.35pt;background:black;"> 3) Characteristics:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Background: Nero does not have a strong recollection of his past. The earliest known memory he has is where he wakes up in a small village outside the kingdoms. Going outside the hut he woke up in, he spoke to one of the villagers, and they told him that he was unconscious in a forest filled with Grimm, though strangely the Grimm did not attack him. Thinking it was not safe, the villager brought him back to their village where he could rest and gain shelter. Following this, Nero went on a pilgrimage to find out who he was and where he came from. The days were just fine. He could walk and travel in peace and, though he didn’t know why, he was entirely safe from the dangers of the outside world. At night, however, things became a bit more complicated. Nero began having nightmares. Specifically, he would dream that he was walking through the forest, his vision entirely violet, just walking. He would pass by some travelers and, as Nero watched, he tried in his mind to communicate with them but his body wouldn’t listen, slashing them to pieces with claws he had no idea were there. Every morning, after one of those nightmares, he would wake up among corpses; not just any corpses, though, the corpses of the people he saw in his dream. Every night, he would try to prevent himself from going to sleep, to no avail. Not every dream involved killing people, but the ones that did, left the bodies for him to wake up to in the morning. Finally, he came across a small hut in the forest, hoping to seek help. In the hut, he found a Shaman. Though skeptical of his abilities, Nero was desperate for these occurrences to end. The Shaman put him in a trance-like state, searching for answers to his problem. The Shaman noted that he is simultaneously alive and dead, good and evil, human and grimm. Though the Shaman did not have all the answers, he was able to figure out that during his sleep Nero would become a creature of Grimm. And while the shaman could not change that about him, he was able to cease these occurrences by placing the transformations under Nero will. From then on, Nero began training to master this transformation, in the hopes of mastering his fate.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"> Having finished this particular aspect of his training, Nero set out to master his human form, figuring that if he relied too much on the Grimm state, it would draw too much unwanted attention; Nero went to train among humans, and though he did find it challenging, he was quickly able to use his aura and develop his semblance. Following all of that, Nero set out for Beacon, to become a Huntsman to find out why he is the way he is and potentially help out whoever he comes across.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Personality: Nero is outwardly stoic and maintains a very calm demeanor in most circumstances. Though he can smirk to boost his team’s morale, he has never been seen smiling. It fact, it has become a joke among his peers that, were he to ever smile, it would signal the beginning of the apocalypse. That said, he has shown to be caring and affectionate, being known to help out Summer when her role as leader is overwhelming her, and he is also friendly with Team RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY. That said, he can be quick to anger, and when angered it has proven to be quite the challenge to calm him down. The one he has the hardest time getting along with on his team is Oscuro Wyvern, because Oscuro is outwardly unexpressive and has a hard time showing his emotions. That said, they do have fun fighting each other and because they are so evenly matched most of the time they usually just tire each other out before causing any serious damage.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Likes: Swordsmanship, Training, Unarmed fighting, conversing with friends

<p style="margin:4.8pt0in12pt;line-height:18.35pt;background:black;"> 4) Combat info:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Position/Class:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Landing strategy:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Weapon: Raikiri Shinuchi, a high quality standard length katana with a steel scabbard.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Fighting style: Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, Battojutsu, street fighting (when unarmed)

<p style="margin:4.8pt0in12pt;line-height:18.35pt;background:black;"> 5) Trivia:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Relationships:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Notes: “Nero Cor” when translated from Latin to English means “Black Soul.”
 * Summer Rain: Partner, Team Leader, Best Friend
 * Oscuro Wyvern: Teammate, Rival
 * Angelo Blanco: Teammate, voice of reason

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:2.1pt0in2.1pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.55pt;background:black;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family:Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;color:white">§            Tropes: Though none come to mind, Nero has a habit of fighting his opponents with a style that most resembles theirs. For example, if he were to fight Mercury, he will stick with kicks, if he were to fight Adam, he’ll use Iaijutsu, if fighting Fox, he will go for general unarmed martial arts, and when up against Weiss or Yatsuhashi, he will fight using simple Kenjutsu.
