Nero [Yuko]

by **Dagomis** March 16th 2009, 3:12 pm

Name: Nero
Appearance: Nero is a white tiger of normal stature and appearance. Everything about him is like that of a normal Siberian tiger that might be found in the wilderness, but he also has a few details about him that are different from that of a normal tiger of any kind or species. His paws, ears, and tails are all normal, but upon the back of his neck is the rune of Yuko, his master. All of his other stripes center around, and to some degree point to this rune to show it as a centerpiece for the tiger. He is large enough for someone to ride on his back, but it is hard to realize this until he has someone on his back.
Type of Creature: Tiger
Creature Class: Faina
Health Points/Turn Bar: 2,400
Summoning: Nero is summoned through a small process that only Yuko is capable of. She must shoot one of the summoning bullets that she carries with her for this purpose, a bullet carved with her rune. Once she shoots the bullet, it will explode and the tiger will appear.
Creature Abilities&Techniques:
- Rollout: A technique during which Nero will curl into a ring and roll toward his target. The roll is fast and hard, and made the deadlier because of the sharpening of Nero's fur to such a degree as to act as blades. The fur becomes hard to the point where the outer side of the ring is impenetrable to blads, but the inner circle is completely vulnerable to strikes and attacks. The hair was able to cut anything they come into contact with because of the sheer multitude of hairs along with the speed of the attack and blade-like quality of them.

- Windwalker: Though Nero is a fully grown tiger, capable of hunting and fighting like such a tiger, he can also run or walk on air. During this process, Nero will walk [or run] on even the slightest of air currents, keeping his body [and the body anyone that may or may not be on his back] suspended in air and capable of walking, running, or simply standing on air.

History: Nero became Yuko's pet on one of her expeditions with Dagomis to the Regnum Vampiriae. They had gone to visit Militis and to complete some training under him. During this training, she journeyed to take a bath in a nearby spring and was attacked by a white tiger. The tiger was a ferocious beast, attacked with all of its might. She quickly outsmarted and outmanuevered the tiger, wounding it in the process. As it laid there, dieing, Yuko took pity on him and drove her fangs into the back of the neck of the tiger. It winced pain and died, but was quickly resurrected with a new life and a new marking upon its nape. After that, the rune on the back of its neck commited it to work under and obey Yuko, and she accepted it as a pet.
