Personal history

Raised in the city of Dusk, the Eastern most city in Ustaria, "The Paladin" was raised into a family of paladins that had dated back centuries. His father, Bartolo Diego and mother, Sandra Radcliff, taught him justice and lead him down a path of judgement. He was taught from age 7 on how to harness his paladin powers from their deity from his mother, while his father was teaching him to use a firearm from the age of 5. Both Bartolo and Sandra watched their son develop his own way to harness his powers into a deadly and capable fashion. They were proud. However, at age 15, disaster struck and his family was attacked by a group of Curse-Users that were hunting to destroy his family name and their offspring in fear of their powers and history. This group was known as The Shadow Oath. His parents tried their best to fight the Curse-Users, however, they were overwhelmed and defeated. Sandra told her son, Antonio, to run and not to look back. Antonio did, yet years later at age 20, he would regret this decision. Now after three years of searching, he has found the group that murdered his parents in Tongselt.

Let Anathema, second in command of The Shadow Oath to slash open his back, leaving a scar that remind him of when he ran and how he failed to kill Anathema in a 1v1

People who are innocent and do not have ill-intention or who wish to change the ways of which they have done things, he feels, they should all have a second chance no matter what... though there are some exceptions to TRUE evil
Never should someone be killed before he has otherwise judged them for their sins

Necromancy is typically something he draws the line at, seeing it as the ultimate immoral act... though there are some exceptions

The death of his parents push him to fight against the Curse-Users he deems as evil in the world as well as injustice
The sight and state of Ustaria forces him to feel the need to make a change just as his family had done in the past

Loves hot chocolate and most sugary drinks that involve chocolate, reminding him of his childhood
Likes going shooting, even just for sport; a good way of making friends in his eyes
Dislikes necromancy, seeing it as an immoral sin that damns both the necromancer and the spawn to a fate that is worse than death
Dislikes injustice, not standing for those who do not get closure on a crime that had been done onto someone, fighting until the bitter end to be the justice if need be
Hates Curse-Users... though there are few exceptions

Vices & Personality flaws

Though his virtues and his will is strong, it can sometimes lead him to his undoing, and could even lead to his death
He does not believe in the deity that his mother did, therefore his paladin powers are revoked

Personality Quirks

Uses his own style of combat with firearms known as "Powercuffs" using the firearms both as melee weapons and as ranged weapons; however, he does this while keeping a very close distance to his enemies

"The Paladin" is a young, spry individual who is the descendent of a long line of Paladins. Age 23, he is a intelligent, witty gunslinger that wishes to protect the innocent and destroy evil just as his father and grandfather before him did.
