Name: Zachary Blackheart

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Alliance: Sentou Gakuin

Age: 19

Homeland: Zachary, other also known as Shadow, hails from a small continent in the far East, known as Cerebus. On Cerebus is a small city by the name of Remis. Having lost his memory, Zack can't remember where he is originally from, and so regards this city as his home town. It is a lawless, crime-ridden area, where the gangs truly run the law, and a gang leader currently serves as a mayor of the town. Several citizens have formed several local guilds in order to take the law into their own hands, but so far unsuccessfully. In addition, this city is the constant target of an asassination organization called The Gaia, who specialize in the "removal" of high priority criminals.

Appearance:

Zachary Blackheart Human_Shadow

Shadow stands at a height of about 5'9" tall, weighing in at about 145 lb. His build is powerful but lithe and compact, allowing for much speed and agility, and so most of his weight is lean muscle. His eyes are blood red in color, burning with an inner flame of determination. They are constantly locked in a piercing stare which seems to look straight through its target.

Ranking: Yellow-Ranked Warrior

Personality: Shadow is a generally quiet person. While his personality is quite different from his previous one, several portions of it have carried over. For example, he holds the belief that unnecessary chatter does nothing more than cloud the mind, reducing effectiveness in battle. Because of this, he doesn't speak much other than in classes and to people that he knows very well, or unless it is absolutely necessary. He is a bit antisocial, preferring to spend his time by himself in silence, and particularly enjoys activities such as training, reading and watching the clouds. Below his loner exterior though, Shadow is actually a very caring person, who is very concerned about the safety of his fellow classmates, and so will sometimes perform a nice act or service for what seems to be no particular reason. In battle, Shadow is confident and focused, his abilities having carried over from his previous profession, despite his inability to recall it. His stance is sure and powerful, giving him the presence of a true swordsman.

Type of Warrior: Swordsman/Ninja

Elemental Affinity: Fire, Earth

History/Character's Background Story: In his past life, Zachary was born in a city much like Remis, called Cyrus on the Western Continent of Terren, which is where The Gaia have their base. For the first few years of his life, all was peaceful. His father brought in a steady flow of money for the family, and his mother stayed home to take care of her son. However, things were soon to become tragic for Zack, as it turned out that his father was obtaining the money from one of the gangs within the city, and the time came when he could not pay them back. A proud man, Zack's father refused to pay them back, believing that his money and influence could protect him and his family. This was not so. When Zachary was at the age of 5 years old, the gang raided his home, murdering his father. His mother resisted, and so she too was killed. Zachary, who remained hidden in his room escaped death. However, he witnessed the murder of his parents, and became enraged, even at that young age, against the numerous scum and criminals within the city. He was forced to grow up on the streets, enduring tough times, but training hard in his fighting skills, so as to one day be able to fight back at the crime infested city. At the age of 15, he obtained his first sword, and began his revenge. He was a natural fighter, and skill came quickly to him, and so he began to take out criminals, one by one. At the age of 16, The Gaia organization took notice of hsi prowess, and invited him to become a member. Number 20 out of 21 asassins employed by the Gaia. He recieved his weapon and for two years he worked for them, asassinating high class criminals and beginning to do what he thought was cleaning up the city. Soon, he progressed to become number 7, and was sent on an assignment to the city of Remis at the age of 19, to "remove" a high priority gang boss. However, during the course of the mission, he encountered something that he did not expect. The wife and child of the person that he was about to kill. Remembering the murder of his own parents, he hesitated, and, unable to make himself kill him, tried to run. However, the gang boss took aim, firing one shot which pierced the back of Zack's head. Somehow, amazingly, he survived the bullet. However, the bullet had pierced the area of his brain which controlled memory. In an instant he had forgotten his life and past. For a year he stayed in Remis, until The Gaia organization sent out scouts to find him. Upon reaching him, it became obvious that he had forgotten everything. However, if he was allowed to live, he might one day regain his memory, with a slightly different attitude towards Gaia, and perhaps reveal their secrets. And thus they wer assigned to asassinate him. He managed to escape, and wandered for some time until he reached the acadamy of Sentou Gakuin, and took shelter there, hoping to become strong enough to one day return to Remis and discover the truth of his past.

I'm not a mod but I'll give you some advice before the mods give you their critique.

Elementalist isn't a Warrior Type on the forum and if you start out as an average wanderer, your character won't be very strong when you first start battling. He'll have about 500 HP and won't be able to attack or defend too often.

Here are the warrior types:

Your character can be an elementalist though but you just shouldn't write it as a warrior type.
