Name: Mercy Speratus
Age: 22
Height: 5"10'
Abilities:
Shunpo - Mercy has the ability to perform Shunpo, with a slight variation that a clear haze (similar to the distortion waves you see on hot days) will envelop his body for two seconds before he is ready to go into a speed just short of an eye blink. He is able to shunpo for no more than fifteen feet, but is able to perform in any direction, even straight up into the air.
Because his shunpo is imperfect, he will become disoriented if used suddenly without thinking. Repeated use in a short time will cause his mind to blur as if in an intoxicated state. That being said, only time will gradually cure the blur.
Summon Jato - Jato, his precious sword, is contracted to materialize whenever called by Mercy, so long as he carries Jato's scabbard. Being a legendary sword with a certain magical aura, it is able to acquire certain elemental essences. With Mercy's current contract with Jato, only fire and lightning is allowed. Forcing Jato to acquire any other elements aside from those two without modifying the contract will incur dire consequences.
Bartender/mixologist - He self-taught all of his bartending skills and know-how, and often mixes various alcohol in an effort to produce a new recipe. Able to perform flairing to a certain degree, and knows his way around a complete bar environment.
Personal Items: Jato's scabbard, portable cocktailcrafting kit, and a normal, silver compass.
Physical Description: Refer to picture below. His attire in the picture is what he wears whenever he goes training and when he is preparing for battle. His hair is often tied back (refer to signature picture below) rather than completely loose as in the picture, simply because he finds it inconvenient.
His bartender outfit is the same as the person's shown below:
In his bartender outfit his hair is tied back to a ponytail to the best of his grooming abilities.
Personality: Mercy does not like to be the one to initiate a conversation between two people. However, when he finds himself in a conversation he converses quite well like a normal person. Polite and honest (if requested by the other party), he would rather flatter the other party instead of speaking about his own personal experiences.
When he is upset at another person he would simply ignore them, and will often continue to do so (even when he's not upset anymore!) until he is put into a situation with them, when he will simply return to his usual self and pretend nothing happened.
Mercy often gets lonely around midnights if there is no one around to keep him company. On days when he can't take it, he copes by drinking into a stupor.
Background/History: Mercy was left outside an orphanage in the port city Vladivostok of Eastern Russia only a few days after being born. The head of the orphanage, Filkov, looked inside the cradle and found a note that said "Mercy on this child to be born from such unfortunate parents." Filkov, having felt deep sorrow for the child, decided to take him into the orphanage under the first name Mercy. Because Filkov did not desire children bearing the same last name as him, he decided to appoint Mercy with the last name Speratus, the name of the orphanage.
As Mercy grew up in the orphanage Filkov realized that he looked a mix between Japanese and Russian, and one day realized the unfortunate situation of why they had to abandon this child. Filkov, loving this child very much, decided that Mercy needs to find a means to protect himself from enemies who are against Japanese/Russian tainted blood. Immediately when Mercy became an adolescent he was sent on a boat across the Sea of Japan to Hokkaido, who a famous sword master accepted him as a pupil and trained him in the arts of sword mastery and spiritual awakening. It was here that he began learning shunpo, and was given Jato's scabbard to create a contract with. In his off-time he would consult bartending, which interested him immensely because the side effects of being intoxicated and using shunpo are very similar. He hoped that by training his spiritual self he would be able to tolerate alcohol to a godly extent, as well as shunpo more often without repercussions.
Upon being discharged as the sword master's pupil due to end of training, he returned to the orphanage in Vladivostok to find that the orphanage had been burned down to the ground. Mercy frantically searched the rubble that night for signs of life, but instead found a metal box with his name labeled in the front. Mercy opened the box and found a note that said Filkov managed to flee the burning house with many, but wasn't able to save them all. The note also wished Mercy well in life and hoped that the two will meet again someday. The box also contained a silver compass, but before he got a chance to examine it closely, Russian authority spotted him snooping among the rubble, and Mercy was forced to flee from the scene.
Having nowhere else to go, Mercy wandered around the world, and eventually ends up at Kironin Central.
Desires: Mercy hopes to master shunpo someday, as well as become a famous bartender in any country other than Russia. However, most importantly he wishes to see the face of his beloved father figure, Filkov, and assure his safety with his own eyes.
Extras: Jato, the sword contracted to Mercy with the help of the sword master, is an allusion to a role playing character whom I played in an older version of Kironin Central. However, in that previous case Jato did not have to be summoned and only possessed a single fire element.
Contrary to the idea that he can shunpo, Mercy does not consider himself a ninja or someone engaging in shadow arts.
His last name, Speratus, is a verb conjugation of the latin for "Hope."
