Name: Squalo Superbi
Alias/Nickname: Emperor of Swords
Age: 23
Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Appearance:
Strengths:
Squalo is a highly-skilled swordsman; a fencing prodigy from a young age who couldn't decide on a single sword style and decided to master them all. He's also incredibly perceptive and it isn't easy to fool him, even with strong illusions. The swordsman is also incredibly durable, having survived a ridiculous amount of life-threatening situations; even almost getting eaten by a shark.
Weaknesses:
He's too easily caught up in the moment, and not the best at thinking about future consequences. With his lack of any sort of volume control stealth isn't much of an option. His fuse is too short for his own good and once he blows it's hard to calm him down. Squalo has almost no sense of self preservation and is also a terrible liar.
History:
Squalo was a fencing prodigy from a minor mafia family whose sole goal in life was to be recognized as the next Emperor of Swords. He earned a scholarship to the top Mafia-run school in Italy where he met the Cavallone heir Dino, his then-and-now best friend, when they were both twelve. When he was thirteen, he cut off his own hand in order to fight current Sword Emperor Tyr in a fair fight, and won. At fourteen, he met Xanxus and was so inspired by the other boy that he aided him in what would be a failed coup against the current leader of the Vongola family, the most influential and powerful famiglia in the Mafia world.
Eight years passed, Squalo became the second in command of the Varia(the top assassination squad in the world), and Xanxus was challenging the next designated Don of the Vongola for the right to lead the Mafia family. As Xanxus's ever-faithful right hand man, Squalo did his best to aid his boss and in the process, nearly got eaten by a shark, was saved from a shark by Dino, and failed in his mission to help Xanxus become the next Don of the Vongola. A few months have passed since and it's only a few days before the Vongola Inheritance Ceremony and he should be getting ready, but he seems to have woken up somewhere that was most definitely not his bed. . .
Personality:
Squalo is a loud man with an even louder personality. It's not often you'll catch him using a so-called "inside voice" but when he is you can rest assured it's probably because Dino Cavallone is nearby. His relationship with his childhood best friend is somewhat awkward, but people who know them both insist it's just sexual tension.
He's devoted to his boss and loyal to a fault, even swearing to not cut his hair until the man had become the next Vongola leader. That doesn't mean he's all that fond of the man himself though, and constantly expresses his distaste with the abusive way his boss treats him. He's arrogant and has a short temper and almost no sense of self-preservation. When it comes to swordsmanship he'll go any lengths to prove he's the best there is, even if it means cutting off his own hand.
Sample post:
A scoff worked its way past the silver haired swordsman's lips. There that idiot went again, making assumptions that were totally wrong. He rolled his eyes and shoved the large fish into the blonde's arms. "Vooiii, I'm not trying to be nice to you," he muttered, "I just felt like going fishing and that stupid tuna is the only thing I caught. You like tuna, I don't. Don't get the wrong idea, Bucking Horse." That wasn't entirely true; he loved tuna, but Dino didn't need to know that.
Squalo stalked his way over to the old beat-up sofa that sat across the room and flopped down on it, putting his feet up on the much-abused coffee table. He nearly laughed at the scuff marks on the wooden surface, proof of all the other times he had sat in that same spot but it was hardly a time for joking. He was there on serious business. "This isn't a personal visit, Don Cavallone. Someone tried to put a hit out on you with the Varia." The assassin leaned forward and shifted his feet to the floor, eyes fixed solely on Dino. "I came to play babysitter."
Anything else:
He has a prosthetic in place of his left hand, and a habit of yelling "Voi" at the start of some of his sentences. Almost always yells.
