In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Well, considering I made her for a reason, but the RP'er that played Weiss isn't around much, I may as well give her away, or once I get enough posts again, I'll take her back.
[blockquote][b]Name:[/b] Argento ;; [i]Her name is the Italian word for "silver"; however, the -"o" ending should be replaced with -"a" in keeping with gender, meaning that her name is technically masculine in Italian.
Even though her name itself means "silver", she is not given a specific colored epithet, and thus, does not seem to have attained the "Triple S" status in Deepground.[/i]
[b]Nickname:[/b] Gen - [i]Rarely called this.[/i]
[b]Age:[/b] Unknown, possibly 25 in appearance.
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Species:[/b] A human that has been spliced with Jenova's and Genesis Rhapsodos's genes.
[b]Position:[/b] Chaotic Neutral Weiss's Advisor - [i]Argento has had very close ties to Weiss in the past.[/i] Weaponsmith of the Tsviets - [i]Argento is the one who forged all of the Tsviets weapons, taking care in assinging each colour.[/i]
[b]Powers:[/b] Argento is more of an instructor or observer, and she is said to embody the phrase, "strength hidden in weakness."
She does, however, possess a few attacks that keep her alive on the battle field. She makes herself out to be weak due to her observing nature, but she is in fact quite a strong opponent.
[i][b]Agility;;[/b][/i] In many ways, Argento is quick and well-coordinated in movement, very lithe and has the ability to think quickly. Speed is on her side when in battle, also being able to twist and turn her body when attacking. Argento is the kind of person who choses to dodge an attack at the very last second.
[b][i]Swordsmanship;;[/i][/b] Much like Sephiroth was; back in the day, Argento was greatly respected for her outstanding swordsmanship, especially by women as she was a great role model. She moves with speed and grace, sometimes appearing as if she's dancing along with her sword. Argento would never dare to raise her sword at anyone just to prove her strength, she fights with honour and never deals the final blow when her opponent is down, she will merely walk away, giving her opponent a choice.
[i][b]Argenta Wave;;[/b][/i] Argento will slide her hand across her sword, causing it to become engulfed in a silver aura, she will then swing her blade at her enemies, thus causing the wave of energy to send them flying back. It takes five posts for this to charge up and be used again.
[i][b]Argent Energy;;[/b][/i] After her sword deals a few blows, it will emit a silver glisten, thus creating energy to add increased force to her strikes which are strong enough when blocked that it leaves a scar in the ground where her enemy stands. The output can be increased in power to make more forceful strikes but it drains her magic a bit. It takes five posts for this to charge up and be used again.
[i][b]Argenti Orbs;;[/b][/i] Charges silver bullet-like orbs through her hand and waves her hand at her opponent sending them at them and begin to home in on them. If a large amount start to hit they form a ball of silver energy, burning them as more start to hit. If this occurs she'll charge a shot up and send a large blast of energy towards them resulting in a large explosion. It takes five posts for this to charge up and be used again.
[b][i]Argentum Soul;;[/i][/b] Argento's limit break. Her body will be cased in the silver energy that she uses, causing her appearance to change, she may seem almost naked but the glisening silver prevents her from being exposed. Argento will rise and wave her hand, creating a strange silver glyph beneath her enemies, a force field will then rise, but will not harm the enemy, only trap them. Then the feet of her enemies will be sealed in her silver energy so they cannot move, she will then cause it to rise slowly, but before it reaches their necks, the case will explode, causing energy orbs to fly up into the air and then fall down on the enemy. Her mind will appear possessed in this form. It takes twenty posts for this to charge up and be used again.
[b]Weapon:[/b] Argenta;; Argento herself carries a rather large sword as her weapon, but seldom uses it. It's a black and silver SOLDIER broadsword decorated with various embellishments and an engraved hilt. Modified by her, naturally. Wing Blades;; A device made by Argento, see appearance. Visor;; This is secretly connected to her brain, thus giving her the advantage of using Libra at any given time.
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[i]Hair;;[/i] Argento's hair goes against her attire colour, it is an obsidian black that tends to shine here and there, it is dishevelled, much like a raven's, it reaches halfway down her back, she sometimes ties it up whenever it irritates her to have it in her face. She also wears an oddly shaped crown-like visor on her head, no one knows what it's linked to.
[i]Eyes;;[/i] Her eye is most extraodinary, it's a glowing deep blue, a very beautiful feature indeed. The eye is mostly filled with either concern or distress, it sometimes lowers a lot of the time because she is a very deep thinker. Rarely any tears have escaped. Gazing into it is much like trying to decipher a code, only those she trusts are allowed to see the true feelings within. Argento's right is hidden by a black eyepatch due to not having her right eye any longer.
[i]Face;;[/i] Argento is quite an attractive young woman with a fine jaw and strong chin, this may sound masculine, but she really does look delicate, giving her the look of a caring mother, her facial features are the most striking. She holds a beauty spot below her right eye and thin, pale lips that always look glossy, she doesn't wear any make-up. She tends to look serious a lot of the time.
[i]Body;;[/i] Living proof that this woman works out, her legs are strong, her arms are rather muscley but not to the point where she's mascular, her stomach is toned and her curves are well developed. She stands at 5ft 10, quite tall for a woman her age. Her body is something she's not ashamed of, though neither will she show her creamy, pale skin always.
[i]Clothing;;[/i] Argento is seen wearing a total of only one outfit, seen [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFx0ey0sbXY&feature=related]here[/url].
However, the true attire is hidden underneath that long silver coat of hers, she rarely likes to remove it. Sometimes she will remove it if it weighs her down during battle. She wears a Deepground uniform, much like Rosso the Crimson's, though less revealing. Her attire consists of thigh length boots with blue neon going down the sides followed by a silver trim at the top, instead of a grill at her crotch, Argento simply wears shorts to match her boots, only a little bit of her thigh is seen, the shorts also have the same blue neon.
Just like any other female Deepground soldier, Argento wears the torso of the uniform, though unlike others, she doesn't wear a shirt underneath it, just metal mesh, plates and neon all around her chest area and arms, her toned stomach and hips are exposed. To give her outfit her very own signature, she wears a silver ribbon waist sash that splits into two parts and reaches the ground barely.
She has also modified the back of her torso with a device to sheild her back from enemies that approach from behind, they're several blades in the shape of wings, but they hide within her torso, the device is connected to her left gaunlet, to if triggered, the blades will spread out like wings, they're not very big though, only big enough to cover the space of her back.
[i]Voice;;[/i] Argento's voice is rather charming when heard, quite surprisingly, she does tend to speak in a rather old fashioned manner, quite poetic one would say. When concerned, she can sound quite comforting, cocky when angry, but when it comes to someone she adores, it can be quite distant and stammering. She possess a silver tongue; having or exhibiting the power of fluent and persuasive speech, meaning she's eloquent. Her tone of voice is mainly monotone.
[b]Personality:[/b] No one knows much of Argento's personality, so I will bring a bit more life to her. Argento is considered most of all loyal and determined, she respects her fellow Tsviets, even Weiss, despite that he is of a much higher rank than her. She's not at all stuck up or arrogant, she believes everyone has potential, but has a sarcastic way of showing it.
Argento is a very observant young woman, and thus has become quite accurate in facial expression analysis. She is a rather quiet young woman, although when she does speak, nothing but wisdom and helpful advice will be uttered. She's a very intelligent young woman, and she considers that others should listen to her in certain situations.
She can be very stubborn at times, refusing to apologies to others, or even admitting that someone else is right, she refuses to follow anyone elses beliefs but her own, she'll listen to what others have to say, but it's less than likely that anyone can change her mind once it's made up.
On a less serious side, Argento does care for her Tsviet commrades, especially Weiss due to being quite close to him, she trusts him more than the others. As for Nero, Rosso, Shelke, and Azul, she sees them more like brothers and sister, Rosso and Azul appearing much like older siblings, whilst Shelke and Nero are the younger ones. She likes to spar mostly with Rosso out of all the Tsviets.
Argento has a lot of strength within her, be it physical or emotional, her heart will break, but she just won't show it. People seem to think she's weak as she does express some feelings, though doesn't fight as much, she lives by her own words: "Strength hidden in weakness."
She believes that there is no one in any world that is weak, she can see the advantages and disadvantages in being both weak and strong. Most things others consider to be a weakness, she considers not to be.
Argento does tend to think a lot, maybe even too much, which causes her to worry to herself. She isn't so naive as others, nor is she gullible, if she doesn't like the look of someone, she won't get involved. This includes if she doesn't like someone full stop, she'll let you know if she hates you by just saying it to your face, she can be quite blunt.
If you're a guy or girl, Argento doesn't care about getting into a fight with either gender.
[b]History/Background:[/b] Argento knows not of her parents, apparently when she was in her mother's womb, it was injected with Jenova cells, though due to her mother's weakening state, Argento had to be taken from her mother's womb four months early and placed in an incubator so that she would survive. Scientists doubted Argento's survival, but she fought for her life at only five months old, thankfully, the Jenova cells kept her alive and strong.
The whereabouts of her father is unknown, but as she got older, she never questioned about it, only thought, though she didn't think too deeply about them, she only felt slight remorse for her mother's passing, but respects her name to this day, often thanking her for holding such a burden within her.
By the time she reached her teenage years, Argento had lost interest in combat and preferred to just standby and observed. This was not questioned, however, it was used. Argento would stand and observe the actions of others, figuring out their weak spots when watching occuring battles. Scientists would write down all that she told them what she could see and so this was used to place particular soldiers against opponents higher and lower in their rankings just to see how they did against each other.
Argento seemed to be more focussed on observation and soon became fascinated with craftmanship of various weapons. She requested to make a weapon for Weiss the Immaculate, though ended up two katana-like gunblades, she took great care in making them both.
She added emblems of Heaven (“V, [i]Ame[/i]) on the one that would be carried in his right hand, and Earth (’n, [i]Tsuchi[/i]) on the one that would be carried in his left all due to her beliefs of Weiss being awakened to bring bliss to their planet. Once made, she was allowed entrance to his chambers, that was the first time she had seen him, sleeping whilst chained back. She placed both the swords in front of him in an X formation.
Due to Weiss's weapons being a success, Argento was given the responsibility to construct the rest of the weapons that the Tsviets would use, she took great care in making sure that all of the weapons were of a specific colour.
Argento was also assigned as Weiss's advisor, often planning out strategic courses of action that would be best suited and wise for Weiss to take. She was the only one who had close ties to Weiss due to Nero being experimented on at the time.
After the battle of the Tsviets versus the Restrictors, Argento was reported missing, no one knew of her whereabouts. After Weiss had killed the first Restrictor, he ordered Shelke to get his brother so he could be taken to the lab to be brought back to full health. Argento decided to go with her to help.
When they got to where Nero was being kept, the darkness coming from him seemed to get worst. Argento knew that something was wrong and immediately pushed Shelke out of the room as the darkness headed for her, thus beginning Argento's disappearance and was soon pronounced dead.
Where she ended up was a complete mystery to many, except herself. Since arriving in Radiant Garden, Argento has kept herself distant from everyone, trying to obscure attention to herself. Thanks to her great observation skills and time in this world, Argento is quite aware of the Heartless and has a good idea of why they might be around the town.
Despite keeping a low profile in an abandoned pharmacy, Argento is in search of Weiss and the other Tsviets, believing Nero's darkness may have gotten to them also.
[b]Role Playing Sample:[/b] Argento merely sat on the windowsill gazing down at the many people who walked by, going about their lives. All she did was observe, not interact. That is, until her eye glanced back at a figure running in the opposite direction of the people who walked by. Seeing that no one but herself seemed interested, Argento just sighed as she got up and made her way outside.
She didn't see the point in running after the person, it didn't seem like anything was chasing them, but upon noticing that the person was a small girl with some kind of odd shadow creature chasing her, Argento soon picked up the pace. She knew it was another Heartless. "Here, thou shall ceast existence," she muttered quietly as the girl ran into a dead end with the Heartless blocking her only means of escape.
"I, Argento, the strongest amoungst the weakest, and thus seeming too weak to fight shall end thou's woe," she spoke eloquently as she took her blade from its sheath, all it took was one swift slice to rid the Heartless from what kept Argento and the child apart. With a gentle expression, Argento walked over to the child and held her hand out to her "come hither, child."
The young girl removed her hands from her face as she lifted her head up at the sound of Argento's voice, though the woman could tell the child was confused with what she was saying. Argento sighed as she forced herself to speak what the little girl would be considered 'normal'.
"Come here, girl..." she repeated herself so that the child would understand, the little girl nodded as she took the hand that was offered to her. Argento nodded at her, letting a small smile form on her lips to make the little girl feel at ease "let us take you back to your parents," she spoke calmly as she let the girl lead the way back to where the girl had been separated.
Argento could feel the girls eyes on her as they walked, it was then she heard the young child ask her a question in her sweet yet innocent voice. "Why did you fight, ma'am?" she asked, smiling with pure innocence at Argento. The Tsviet looked down at her gently.
"Hmh... there is a reason I [b]do not[/b] fight, yet still continue to exist, why I do is for another time," she said to the little girl, who in turn, blinked at Argento's answer, not quiet understanding it, Argento easily saw this "you will know in time, child."
Looking ahead, Argento could see a couple, she then felt the girl let go of her hand and run towards, what she assumed were, the girl's parents. Argento's mind began swimming with thought once again as she saw the mother and father embrace their child, something she had never experienced or felt with anyone. Not that she needed to, without a second glance or thought, Argento just walked away and returned back to her own business.
[b]Questions/Comments/Suggestions?[/b] Argento is from the Online Dirge of Cerberus game, I hope to bring this character to life and give her existence more meaning.[/blockquote]
