Re: Character List
Personal Profile Sheet:
Name: Unknown. By the time we found him, he had already begun using his assumed name.
Assumed Name: Luca
Age: Unknown, although given his skills as both a Matador and a Ninja, along with his training agility and speed, we assume he’s in his thirties, somewhere between early to mid.
Race: Presumably human. The only reason this is questionable comes from the mask he refuses to remove.
Nationality: Spanish
Sex: Assumed to be male. However, due to the baggy clothing he wears and the slightly feminine tone of his voice, this is questionable. Still, given his reference to himself as a man, we do not question this.
Hair: Black hair that is fuzzy and falls down his head to just above his neck. His hair is very unkept, and we assume that he hasn’t washed it in a long time, despite the fact he says that his hair is “more beautiful than the rays of the sun.”
Eyes: Although it is hard to tell through the slits for eyes in his mask, those who have observed his eyes say they are distinctly brown.
Height: Five feet, eleven inches.
Weight: Assumedly 110 pounds, although he refuses to let us weigh him. His movements indicate that he can weigh no more than 130 pounds though.
Weapon: Scarlet Rose: A tri-taloned claw that he wears on his left hand. Each of the blades of the claws are a foot in length and made of a high frequency metals that allow Luca to cut through steel at times, and other times not be able to cut a leaf depending on the frequency being generated. The claws are attached to a black, metallic glove that has a small generator on the back of the hand that creates the frequencies that allow the glove to cause damage based on how he’s set the frequency generations. When not in use, Luca carries the glove in a sheathe along his back, attached to his sash.
Barcelona’s Terror: An Espada Ropera, the Spanish contemporary that predated the rapier, that was customized by Luca, with help from the science division. A family heirloom and the sword he used to fight bulls as a Matador. The blade is a shining blade forged of the finest steel. The whole weapon is forty-four inches in all. About thirty-six of those inches belong to the blade, which is double edged, thin, but still effective for cutting. The other eight inches belong to the weapon’s handle, which is designed a half egg shape and made of pure gold. In the base of the blade, a small generator has been added to add a frequency generator so the blade can resist stronger or more forceful weapons. Although he prefers Scarlet Rose, Luca does use Barcelona’s Terror when he finds need of a longer, stronger blade.
Armor: Mask: Although he didn’t give a name to this mask he wears, it is clearly an interesting mask. A mask he claims to have hand made of the “most beautiful metals” he could find. This mask is made of finely crafted steel that fits his face perfectly. The eye holes are narrow, so its hard to see his eyes, and holes for his nose. Aside from that, the mask has the emblem of our group: the SanctorVista. Also, this mask is held firmly to his face by thick chords that are bound hold the mask firmly to his face with silk overlaying over the chords to prevent damage to his skin.
Strengths: Luca has several distinct advantages against normal people, and even some of our own assassins. First of all, we must examine his abilities in the context of his nature. Luca possesses speed, dexterity and agility that are far beyond super human. He has the power to move fast enough that the human eye has a hard time following him. Aside from that, he is agile enough that he can jump onto walls and then leap from them to attack, or he can leap from wall to wall to scale buildings. Aside from this, despite how small he seems, Luca’s physical strength is nothing to scoff at. Being able to easily lift things twice his weight. Thus, his natural abilities are beyond that of a normal person, easily. Also, because of his super human reaction time and dexterity, he can, actually, see the movement of and evade bullets.
Aside from his clearly natural talents as a warrior and an assassin, he has spent many years of his life training in two different forms of combat. The first is his skills as a Matador, a Spanish Bull Fighter. As a matador, although we know almost nothing of his life at this time, he gained amazing, almost lightning fast, reflexes and response time. Thus, he gained the ability to evade attacks in a split second, which includes bullets and other projectiles. Aside from that, he also gained the ability to read enemy movements, but only on a very limited level. Thus, he can’t use this limited clairvoyance at will, but instead has to rely on when adrenaline allows it to occur, at a heartbeat of 400 or greater per second.
The other major skill that Luca spent years training in involves learning basic ninja skills from a ninja master. The major skills he gained from this increased his dexterity and agility, taking advantage of his natural skills. Mostly, this is where he learned how to wall jump, and also where he learned how to move nearly silently. Since he can move nearly silently, tracking him nearly impossible in areas of low visibility. Also, his training as a ninja focused on the silent kill, and are the reason he wields Scarlet Rose, which his master gave him the basic design of.
Weakness: Unlike a lot of our agents, Luca isn’t skilled in unarmed combat. Because every style of fighting he’s ever learned involves the use of some kind of weapon, tends to be unable to fight back effectively when met with an enemy who can disarm him and force him into a hand to hand fight. Also, since he isn’t overly physically strong, Luca tends to avoid situations of direct confrontations, preferring settings where he can flee or use the area to give him some form of an edge.
Also, despite his incredible speed, dexterity and agility, he lacks any real kind of defense aside from his mask. His lithe body is very frail, so heavy blows cause a good deal of damage to his highly muscular body. In terms of his personality, the major flaw that we have determined is that Luca is a narcissist. Despite the fact his body is cloaked in such a way that he seems androgynous, Luca has a great self love of his own beauty, grace and strength. For this reason, any kind of serious damage to his mask or face sends him into a violent rage, something like what red does to a bull.
Lastly, despite being very powerful for a human, Luca lacks any kind of knowledge of how to deal with magical forces, creatures or powers. Thus, his weakness to magic is quite notable, and a shared weakness to spiritual power also seems to exist. Still, now that he has encountered beyond natural things, he is becoming more adept to handling himself in these situations.
Skills: Given his training as a ninja and a matador, his ability to see, respond, comprehend and react to a problem is otherworldly. Aside from this, his training as a ninja has given him the ability to commit feats that normal humans deem illogical or nearly impossible. Also, due to his sense of honor as a matador, when challenged to a fight, he cannot decline. Also, because he can move nearly silently, and can move very quickly, he is an ideal assassin in some of our cases.
Appearance: Luca’s attire is a complete mix of the two styles of combat he wields. However, the first thing that should be noted is that no one in our organization has ever seen his face. For as long as we have been in contact with this man, he’s kept his face hidden behind his mask. Because of this, we cannot judge exactly what he looks like behind the mask, however it is assumed that, given his narcissistic obsession with his own perfection, that he is a very handsome man.
Over his chest, he wears a very baggy, black shirt. The shirt’s sleeves cover even over his hands, concealing a lot of his skin, although he wears gloves over his hands anyway. The only part of the black shirt that is even remotely tight is around the neck, which is buttoned with two golden buttons to hide Luca’s skin from sight, we assume. Also, this shirt, being in the fashion of a ninja’s shirt, is more of a jacket with a black, form fitting shirt beneath it. Below that is a green sash, the only part of his attire that has color to it.
Luca wears a pair of matador pants. These pants are loose fitting around the upper and lower legs, but are snugly fit around just above the ankle. The sides of the pants, along the sides of the legs and inside towards the groin area, are white in color, whereas the front and back are black in color. Holding the already tight waist firmly in place is a green sash that Luca keeps his sword sheathed at his right side, and his claw sheathed along his back. As for his shoes, Luca wears ninja sandals, since they make very little noise when he moves, allowing him movement with freedom of motion to respond.
Personality: To sum up Luca as a person in one word, it would be narcissist. His self love is teetering on almost obsession. He is prideful and strong willed, being unable to allow himself to be overcome in a problem. When he engages in combat, he has a stern, focused kind of movement that is designed to kill quickly, or can be used to kill slowly and painfully. His love of beauty ranges not only to himself, but to anything else he feels beautiful, and is the only thing we have yet found that prevents him from striking at something.
Also, Luca is an extremely ardent Spanish Nationalist. His love of his home nation causes him to be highly defensive whenever his nation is brought into question. Aside from that, this also causes him to snidely look down upon all people who aren’t Spanish, leading to conflicts between some of our other agents and Luca. His intense self love and national love are questionable traits in terms of his skills and abilities as an assassin, but he’s proved more than capable.
Being a somewhat of a sadist, Luca fights with a trained kind of love of desire. In order to recruit him, we appealed to his desire to find a worthy foe of his skill. His fight with one of our agents gave us a good insight into his skills and strengths, yet I’ve continued to document him even now. Lastly, it seems that he has a deep, strong desire to prove himself, making him even more deadly than most of our other agents.
History: Not much is known about Luca’s life before we had our first encounter with him. Without his real name, or any other kind of identification, we can’t really say what kind of life he had or much about him besides the kind of training he had. Clearly, though, he had a great deal of wealth in his family and some kind of family legacy he wanted to continue. Still, without proper proof of any of this, it is minor speculation on our part. Here is what we do know however.
It all started when one of our assassins mysteriously turned up dead along with the man he had been assigned to kill. At first, we thought that the man he had been assigned to kill had gotten a lucky kill, but when we investigated further, we learned that both our agent and his target had been killed by a blade. Since both men only carried guns on them, we quickly deduced that this wasn’t the actions of our agent or his target. So, when we investigated the matter, we found a series of reported murders of vagrants and others in a similar manner. Using our extensive resources, we investigated this matter to the fullest power we could.
It took us a long time to track him down. We finally found him in a warehouse not too far from where he had killed our agent and sent one of our best agents in to deal with him. Alexi didn’t waste much time to engage the target. His reports suggest that a fierce struggle occurred between the two. After almost a night of battle, Alexi requested that instead of fighting, the man negotiate with us. After a few hours, our negotiator managed to convince him that he should lend us his skills as an assassin, and in exchange he agreed to help us if we found him a worthy foe, or would let him fight Alexi if we couldn’t.
Now, Luca serves as a warrior in our group. We, SanctorVista, will now use him to assist us in bringing many political foes to their death. And thus, we will finally see the continuation of our ideals.
