Personality
At first Angelo can seem single minded and uncaring. Only thinking of fighting and his goal of revenge. But this rough outer shell hides a softer side as well, a deep love of animals has always been a part of him and an even deeper hate of injustice makes him unable to leave people to their fate if he can help.
Most of the time the young martial artist sticks to a quiet and serious demeanour, not really letting himself relax unless it’s one of the rare times where he decides to party, at which point he will quietly sip his alcohol with a smile, a rare break in the shell.
One last essential part of Angelo Sores’ personality is his sense of loss, having lost both his parents at a young age and later his master, loss is an omnipresent part of the man. Nonetheless, this sense of loss caused a protective side to be born. If Angelo ever comes to find people he cares about to call friends, comrades or even family, he will put his life on the line for every single one of them.
Appearance
Standing just under two metres tall Angelo Sores’ stature is a cut above the average human. A broad neck supported by toned muscles built for power by years of intense training leaves no question as to whether or not this man can fight. Angelo keeps his somewhat spiky blond hair in a slightly slicked back cut to keep them out of his blue eyes.
Angelo does not favour any particular type of fashion, mostly preferring practical and comfortable clothing that does not interfere with his movement. At the moment he sports a long sleeved white t-shirt with a few open buttons at the base of the neck of the shirt. Simple black trousers and boots complete the outfit.
Fighting Style
竜道 - Ryudou - The Way of the Dragon
A martial art style that uses different forms of combat inspired by the legendary power of the Dragon. The secret forms of power of the style each lie behind the concept of one of the Five Elements, with the ultimate form of the style being the perfect fusion of all fives.Aspects

Tier★★ Strength (Voucher+200xpz)
The First aspect of the Way of the Dragon. One must make their body hold the power of the very Earth to move the world as the Dragon does. Angelo has honed his body and fight ability through years of harsh and relentless training as well as physical conditioning; developing his muscles for as maximum an efficiency and power as he could.
金 Metal
Tier★★ Toughness(Voucher+200xpz)
The Second aspect of the Way of the Dragon. One must make their body as solid as Metal mimicking the strength of the scales of the Dragon. Through his training as well as the beatings Angelo got daily from his master before and later on from picking fights to challenge himself, he has grown to be able to handle just about as much of a beating as a human can take while remaining standing and fighting.
水 Water
Tier★★ Shockwaves(Voucher+200xpz)
The Third Aspect of the Way of the Dragon. One must be able to let their blows flow into their enemies like the flow of Water so as to bypass the impenetrable scales of the Dragon.

Background
Angelo was born on Karate Island in the South Blue and like most there, he began to train in martial arts at an early age. The young boy’s master was a strict woman by the name of Anna, master of the Four Beasts Style and while her harshness could make life difficult for her young pupil it built a strong character and deep sense of respect for the master within the boy.
As for family life, everything was just about as normal as life could get. Angelo’s two parents were simple people of low means, the young martial artists never had access to much luxuries but never wanted for food either, so all in all, a pretty decent life.
Tragedy first struck young Angelo at the age of ten, when both his parents died to a plague. This period first began to define Angelo's character beyond that of an innocent child, a sense of duty to not die pointlessly. From that point on Angelo lived in his master Dojo and trained every day and night; focusing solely on becoming stronger.
Life progressed as such for a few more years. Nothing existed beyond training, to the point that Angelo began to forget what reasons he had to become stronger. Strength was becoming his be all end all, rather than a means to an end. Running while carrying boulder-like rocks, thousands of series of punches and kicks, nothing existed beyond martial arts.
However, fate once again came in to shatter the world of the young man. One day as Angelo came running back from some training in the mountains; which involved sitting under waterfalls and fighting bears; the sight of the burning dojo greeted him. Angelo ran inside looking for his master but he was not prepared for the sight of the inside of the burning carcase. His master was being lifted off the burning floor, held by the throat in the hand of a large man well over ten metres tall. The light and heat of the fire made it difficult to distinguish anything beyond just two silhouettes. The young man screamed, calling for his master, but all that came after the shout was the sound of a crack. Simply the wood snapping as it burned, Angelo thought for a second, but as the body of Anna fell on the ground, neck twisted at an odd angle, the apprentice knew what had happened to his master.
In a fit of rage Angelo rushed at the almost giant of a man while screaming at the top of his lungs. Jumping over some of the burning floor to unleash a spinning kick at his master’s killer’s neck. But before his attack could connect, Angelo felt intense pain in the middle of his abdomen. Next thing he knew, Angelo was crashing on the ground just outside the burning building. His vision was blurred, a mix of the fire and the throbbing pain he was feeling, not only that but he could not stand anymore, just too dizzy. As he lied there on the brink of unconsciousness the massive figure walked past him, ignoring the gasping breath of a foolish boy. With the very last bit of strength he had left, Angelo strained to turn his head and look at the man who had taken everything Angelo had left in this world. The young martial artist saw only one thing and burned it into his mind so as to never forget. A large green dragon tattoo that covered all of the man’s back, serpeting across itself holding a glowing or in its three pronged clawed hand. Then Angelo fell to unconsciousness.
For a couple more years following the incident, Angelo trained harder than he ever had before, he knew the theory of all of his master’s martial arts, all it took was putting into practice and making his body ready. Twice as hard, thrice as hard, Angelo trained and trained, living in a ruined dojo, eating what he scavenged and what the locals spared him out of charity.
Eventually though, Angelo felt a limit, a glass ceiling he could not break through alone on this island of the South Blue, and one that very day, with on final prayer over his master’s grave, the boy left to go unto the seas, ready to push his limits and find the man who killed his master, and kill him.
