Augustus
Name:[/color] You may refer to me as 'Augustus'. I am also called 'The Revered One', or simply, 'Emperor'-- titles that you would to well to keep close at hand.
Age:[/color] I have roamed this earth for five years. Yet do not mistake me for an infant-- least it be the last mistake you make.
Gender:[/color] I am a Male. What, would you have preferred otherwise?
Sexuality:[/color] I accept all comers...if worthy
Occupation:[/color] You dare to believe me to submissive to another? Your ignorance is almost worthy of my contempt. Yet I do allow myself to explore the world at large by assuming the identity of a free-lance Private Investigator and Bounty Hunter, if that counts for anything.
Alliance:[/color] I am Neutral in the eternal war, attempting to gain a following and wage war upon all factions that will not support me. Yet, at the same time, I wonder if it would be advantageous to pick a side for a time...decisions decisions decisions...
Group:[/color]I am what they call a 'Shadow', more specifically, an Arcana Embodiment of the Emperor.
Weapons:[/color] In battle, I have many tools at my disposal. Here are but a few, whilst I play the role of a slobbering human.
-A magic and blackened spiked sword that can appear and disappear at will
-Silenced Automatic Pistol, stolen in my escape from my creators, fitted with a flashlight and a laser sight. The bullets are hollow points.
-Sawed-off Shotgun, same as the pistol, fitted with a laser sight
-I have been training in Krav Maga for the past four years, and as such, have some skill within the discipline to complement my own inhuman abilities.
General principles of Krav Maga include;
-Counter attacking as soon as possible (or attacking preemptively).
-Targeting attacks to the body's most vulnerable points such as the eyes, jaw, throat, groin, knee, etc.
-Neutralizing the opponent as quickly as possible by responding with an unbroken stream of counter attacks and if necessary a take down/joint break.
-Maintaining awareness of surroundings while dealing with the threat in order to look for escape routes, further attackers, objects that could be used to defend or help attack and so on.

History:[/color]
Among the first Arcana Embodiments created by the Sennou Corporation, I was a 'test subject', a superior being formed from the Emperor Arcana and the body and soul of the Top Assistant to the Director of Shadows, Virgil D'Angelo. Possessing a crushing intellect and wisdom from my first breath, as well as a thirst for power that dwarfed that of even the most ambitious of men, I remained a quiet and icy individual as I feigned cooperation with invisible puppeteers, as they observed and controlled every bit of my environment. This knowledge, whilst I have never completely understood where it came from, became apparent to me more than likely due to my 'father's' ties to the project, and the memories of the process resurfacing therein. At first quite stressful and earth-shattering, upon this realization I began to awaken my true form, my true self, and began acting accordingly.
Being tossed through hoops and chutes, acting in a pleasing manner to my 'overseers', though I was thrown into an environment that should have remained unknown to me, I retained enough of the mind of my progenitor to know the outline of my captivity and how to have garnered the greatest and most positive outcome for myself. Being the first and only (to my knowledge) to be approached with an assignment by the corporation after surpassing all standards needed to undertake their attention, the moment I received this new found freedom and had learned all I could from my creators, I quickly and masterfully took advantage of the holes that I had suddenly known existed within the security. In one feel swoop, almost instinctively, I corrupted research data from the mainframe of the corporation on myself and all I could access on other Embodiments, before stealing several armaments from D'Angelo to use as my own, the location and combination to his weapons locker still fresh in my mind. Making my escape, I have existed and lived within the shadows of Minato Japan, training my true glorious power for five years on the common rabble and trash that populates this island. Now, I have begun to make my move, and shall alter the world as I see fit-- but my plans are strange beasts, unfit for introduction in a place as this. Let use instead delve within the story of my progenitor, Virgil D'Angelo.
A man of many talents, from as far as I can tell, Virgil was a strong and capable man hailing from the Vatican City. The son a Swiss Guard and a Medical Doctor, he grew up happily, living a devoutly Catholic life. Upon a cataclysmic event of some kind, he appeared in Japan, now age 25, enlisted as a security guard in Sennou Corp. It was not long before his skills were noticed, and he was drafted into the Persona Counteraction Squad due to an apparent affinity with the supernatural, and stayed there for three years. Eventually, he completed some sort of scholarly program, apparently having been going to University this entire time for a scientific degree, and began to take an interest in the physical and scientific ramifications of Shadows and Persona. A year later, he was transferred as the assistant to the Director of Shadows due to his experience with the creatures, and was an apparent prodigy. Serving in this station for a span of time that could not have been more than two years, he was selected to work on the project that resulted in my birth. Due to some strange chain of events though, in the end product, he was used as a test subject, and acted as my 'father' of sorts. I have no idea of how he died, if I killed him, or anything else beyond what I have mentioned about him, the memories other than this completely blacked out from my mind. And truly, it is irrelevant in any case. I am who I am now, and I that is no Virgil D'Angelo. I am superior. I am Augustus, the Emperor. And my tale is only just beginning...

Greatly excelling in both Stength and Endurance, Augustus's Speed and Magic are far below average, his Luck appearing to be average.
Other info: Augustus, when entering his true, shadow form, towers over all others at a whopping twelve feet tall. Possessing a monstrous strength and countenance, Augustus is far from subtle when in this state, and infact, everything quiet and unseen of his personality appears and erupts after his transformation. As his face and body morphs to his large, horned and crimson form, his voice alters as well, becoming much deeper, distorted, with an unearthly echo to it. His sword, spiked and black, transforms with him and becomes his primary weapon, and his Krav Maga fighting style becoming more and more faint, dwarfed by sheer raw power, his speed slows to a march, as his armor and mass makes him slow--- yet, purposeful.
