Name: Joseph Leonardo Cronosi
Nickname: He despises nicknames though he has acquired one, a little girl called him Barron as an insult and it stuck.
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Position: Lawful Good
Powers: Most of Joseph's magic stems from his left eye, the
"L'oeil du voyant" or "Eye of the Clairvoyant." In order to activate his magic he must uncover this eye and, depending on the move, must make physical contact or eye contact with his target. With this eye however he can manipulate time for short bursts though this power takes a heavy toll on his body, often leaving him bleeding from the eyes and nose and with a migraine if he uses it too often.
-Techniques that utilize his time powers-La prévoyance de voyant: This ability of Joseph's works not only in battle but also out of battle as well. During battle If Joseph manages to make eye contact with his opponent with his "Eye of the Clairvoyant" uncovered he can foresee a future attack giving him ample opportunity to prepare and evade it.
Out of battle Joseph can use this ability to see glimpses of the future though this is incredibly dangerous. He is very susceptible to seizures if he lacks a target to focus on. If he lacks focus with this power he loses control to filter out the pointless or unrelated visions causing him to go through the seizures due to an overload in his brain. Out of battle he can use this power to see glimpses of an ally's possible future or he can scan through their memories. The eye contact still has to be made however and held for him to do so preventing him from sifting through the memories and futures of one unwilling.
Monde lent: Joseph charges energy before he creates a shockwave around him slowing down the world around him. To everyone else it seems as if he's moving inhumanly fast. (Requires 1 charge post but the effects last for 2)
Rechute: Joseph uses his time powers to record a moment in time. This is normally an attack, after preforming his attack he will replay it multiplying the pain it inflicted. The downside is if he is attacked while this spell is active his own pain will be multiplied
La prise de temps: Joseph's limit break and his most devastating attack! He charges the majority of his energy into his hand before lunging at his target taking hold of them. For things with weaker bodies (Monsters and objects) can be aged to dust while stronger bodies (Player characters) are simply aged to where their bodies are weak and frail. Joseph will then choke slam the person on the ground causing major damage before curb stomping them, their bodies revert to their normal age when Joseph releases them but the increased damage inflicted on them remains.
-Techniques that don't utilize his time powers-Master of the Rapier
Signe de force: An invisible force attack that knocks Joseph's opponent back. It can be shot either from an open palm or from the eyes.
Beast: Joseph slams his short sword's hilt into the enemy before throwing a slash powerful enough to send them to the ground. An aura similar to a bears face forms around him as he preforms this attack while the roar of one echoes out.
Redeemer Stance: Joseph's ready stance He puts both swords out crossing them over his chest his feet lift off the ground lightly as a blue aura forms around him. (This move takes up a turn and is required in order to activate any of 'Sins' techniques)
Sins of the past: After getting into the Redeemer stance Joseph can teleport into the air behind an enemy before slamming down with both blades out forming a powerful vertical slash
Sins of the present: After getting into the Redeemer stance Joseph can fly forward in a horizontal spinning motion blades out creating a powerful drill attack
Sins of the future: After getting into the Redeemer stance if Joseph is attacked directly he can teleport away from an enemy's attack before reappearing in front of them countering with a powerful cross slash with both of his blades
Ice Magic Affinity: Joseph has a high potential for ice type magics, his aura is completely geared towards this however to unlock some of this potential he needs a magic teacher to help him utilize these powers
Weapons: Soleil: Joseph's Rapier, it features designs on the hilt similar to the ones found on his chest plate: a white with elegant gold trim. The blade itself is long but thin, ideal for quick slices and stabs. He holds the sword in his main hand and it is used as his primary weapon
Lune: Joseph's short sword. The blade is not as stylized as Soleil but it certainly looks more powerful. It's a standard for a claymore though the steel blade has a faint light blue hue to it almost like the moon's glow. Joseph keeps this blade sheathed unless preforming a heavy attack. His off hand constantly grips the hilt which rests just above his shoulder blades.
Picture:
Appearance: Joseph Cronosi stands at 6'1 and weighs around 185 pounds which is almost all muscle, his skin was light almost pale. Joseph is attractive, and he knows it, a regular prince charming. He sported a paler skin tone than most, his form also being free of scars. His jaw is chiseled and rather manly with a light gaunt noticeable in his cheeks. His nose is around average size and is slightly pointed out but rounded on the tip of it. His right eye is a vivid blue color while his left eye was black with a glowing blue iris, though this was often covered. Due to his skull's shape, it looks darker under his eyes almost making it look like he constantly has bags under them. Joseph has long brown hair that is parted in the middle, it reaches his butt in length. At the midpoint his hair is tied, with a blue bow, into a ponytail. His left arm has a sleeve of faded red tattoos.
Joseph due to his family dresses very regally. Almost overly so. The majority of his clothing is white. He wears an open long white coat. The trim and cuff lengths on the coat are blue in color. He wears two black shoulder boards and a pair of white, fingerless gloves. His slacks are black in color and he wears a gold belt and white buckled boots. Under his coat he wears an armored chest plate and silver chainmail. This plate is white in color and is trimmed with beautiful golden designs and blue gems embedded into it. Over his left eye he wore a strange looking device. It looked like a cross between an eye patch and a monocle. Over his eye rest a strange blue lens that was held in place by a golden device with a button on the side that had allowed the lens to retract and uncover his eye or the opposite. It was held in place by a black thin leather strap. He wears his short sword on his back and his rapier at his side
Personality: Joseph is a very cool, collected, serious, and calm person. He seems aloof at times but that is only because he is constantly thinking of his next action and predicting the possible outcomes. He seems to give off an air of arrogance and he wont hesitate to lecture or correct someone if they do something wrong. His arrogance also makes him incredibly vain, He often sees people as lower than him, almost as if they are a lower breed. He sports a high amount of pride that in some cases can blind him from the truth. He also knows how to manipulate people be it by fear, greed, or simply telling people what they wish to hear. He blamed his spoiled childhood but that isn't exactly an excuse. He seems hard to read because his features are almost always stoic or they sport a hint of disdain to them.
Though despite his shallow and cold exterior a kind heart lies buried within him, a troubled heart. He finds it hard to trust anyone and often keeps his cold front up to prevent any potential threats from getting close to him. However if you manage to bypass his cold nature you will find a more relaxed Joseph. He really is caring toward others and will often help those in need. (Though chances are he'll scold them for needing to be saved) He holds a sarcastic and dry sense of humor which he will only share with his friends. He is a helpless romantic, often believing his true love is out there waiting for him. (Though he doesn't ignore Ms. Right Now when she comes a knocking) He also sports a stubborn courage, not willing to stand down to anyone or anything no matter the odds stacked against him.
Original World: Notre Dame
Current World:Twilight Town
History:Many poor folks live on the streets, many starve and thirst, many preform or act ridiculously to entertain the rich for a small amount of coin. Joseph Leonardo was not one of these people, in fact he was perhaps on the highest rung of the social ladder other than being royalty. He was the son of a couple of rich aristocrats Denis Cronosi and Susana Cronosi. The two took life by the reigns and soared utilizing selfish tactics to scrape their way to the top of that social ladder. Along the lines Joseph was conceived and brought into a life of utter luxury.
He grew up having everything brought to him on a literal silver platter. His wildest whims were easily given to him mainly because his parents didn't want to even bother with him. They had far better things to do other than deal with their kid after all. The boy was spoiled that was true, spoiled rotten, his arrogance and selfishness grew for the majority of his young life due to not having a true parent to teach him better.
At 10 years old he took up the hobby of fencing. He spent years honing his skills with the blade, his skill was widely known and respected as he had won more than one competition in his teenage years. He simply thought it was his superior upbringing that gave him his skill.
When Joseph was of age he took Notre Dame by storm, he was a spoiled brat his arrogance and reckless habits went unchecked as he had enough coin to bribe any guard that would dare arrest him four times over. His selfishness was well known to the beggars and gypsies too as he would often mock their misfortune making jeering comments to those less fortunate. He saw them as worthless parasitic scum that needed to be cast into the fires of hell for even being in his sight. They were worth less than the dirt on his boots to him and he hated the fact that they continued to exist in the streets of his city.
His entire perspective of life changed in one night however...
It was late one night Joseph had been stumbling home after a night of drinking. An old gypsy woman approached Joseph asking for some money, pleading for him to look into his heart to help her. Joseph drunk and disgusted by the fact that this disgusting creature had asked him for something of his own slapped the woman to the ground exclaiming he hadn't cared for her fate, her future didn't concern him. As the woman fell to the ground her form would get engulfed in a strange light before she would stand in front of him as a holy priestess. Joseph cowered before her. She told him that they had been watching him and his cruel and selfish ways and that she was sent here to change him. She then cursed his left eye forcing him to see the fates of people less fortunate than himself. Visions of men woman and children suffering while people like him lived in splendor filled his mind. The people enough were an eye opener but the priestess also showed him another vision, one of his own fate should he stay on his selfish path. All he saw was hellfire and brimstone.
Joseph pleaded with the priestess offering everything he had owned to possibly protect himself and the others from the fate he had been subjected to. The priestess refused stating the only way he could alter his fate and everyone else' is if he repented for his past sins by doing the work to better their lives himself. She explained that his cursed eye was also a gift, with it he could gaze into the future and even bend time to help him in his mission to save others from their fates. Joseph accepted the task that she lay out before him and began to see life in a different life.
After that night Joseph gave up his life of luxury, and began his quest to save those that had been cheated by fate and the quest to save his own soul. He's been working at it since, he also became close with the church, spending much of his time in the cathedral either helping the priests, worshiping, or praying for the health of others. Despite giving up the entirety of his old life Joseph was genuinely happy... He still had a few flaws in his personality sure but he was working to better himself so he could better help those around him.
One night during his prayer within the cathedral Joseph fell into a deep slumber. His body and mind were yanked from the sights and sounds of Notre Dame placing him in a strange new world. Joseph thought that the holy spirit must have had some influence in this as he went off to help others bettering their fate.
Role Playing Sample: The streets of Notre Dame were lively with the faces of people milling about their daily lives. The fisher man fished, the Baker man baked as the bells of Notre Dame rung out filling the air with a feeling of beauty and grace. Sitting at a stand was a gypsy bard entertaining a group of children with a puppet show singing a fantastical tale of the holy light and men.” His voice rung out as he sang the beginning of his story.
“Deep in the city a nobleman would stroll~ His attitude was twisted and dark as his soul~”
Joseph Leonardo Cronosi walked through the streets of Notre Dame at night a light stumble noticeable in his step, alcohol heavy on his breath. He looked around those vivid blue eyes looking at his surroundings. Strangely he saw no one, the streets of Notre Dame were silent, a hazy fog filling the dark streets. He scoffed walking, or stumbling rather, onward as he made his way home, the cool wind blowing through his long brown hair. A light shiver ran down his spine, perhaps the winter had come early this year he wasn't sure. He grit his teeth a dark scowl forming on his lips. Despite being rather fond of the cold days of winter he was in no mood to deal with it now.
“Suddenly a woman, face hidden in cowl~ Appeared before the man to meet his scowl~”
As if from the mist a woman appeared before him looking to him through her heavy hood. She was frail, lanky and shaking lightly. She looked to Joseph holding her hand out to him. Joseph blinked confused and a little frustrated that she even interrupt his journey home.
“She looked to him holding out a hand~ Her voice soft, her words planned~”
“Sir would you please help me? I need some food for my family... It has been too long since we've last ate. Please save us from our fate!” She asked the man hands clasping together as she begged him to give her a small amount of money so she could buy something to help her family survive a later night. Joseph scoffed utterly disgusted that she would even ask, his eyebrows lowered as he snapped. “Your fate is of no concern to me! You can burn in hell along with your family!”
“The man struck the beggar, forcing her to ground! He cared not for the fate in which she was bound~”
Joseph looked down as the woman lay there weeping, his scowl didn't fade he had hated to see her weakness, hated to see her pitiful form, hated to see her! He crossed his arms preparing to turn when a light suddenly formed around the girl and she rose. Her form was altered, from a frail beggar woman to a beautiful young girl. A pair of feathered wings outstretched from her back as that glow flowed around her making her look intimidating.
“She rose as an holy priestess he stared in fear! She drifted forward drawing very near~”
He gasped as she flew closer her words escaped her lips. “Joseph Cronosi, I know who you are! We have watched you from afar!” She snarled as Joseph cowered before her sight he was standing in front of one of god's messengers, he was suddenly so insignificant.... So worthless. He stammered unable to find his words. The priestess held her hand out and in a flash Joseph's mind was assaulted.
“Her voice was like thunder! Powerful and angry! At this blunder of a man !A fool at it's best! People like he she grew to detest! He hadn't cared of who lives or who dies until each and every death flashed before his eyes! Finally he saw his immortal pyre, the final vision was of he in hell's fire!”
Joseph cried out falling to his knees crying “Please! Please! What must be done?! To save my soul! To save everyone!” The priestess looked down, thinking carefully. “You can have anything, everything I own, I wish not these deaths, I wish not this pain!” He continued before looking to her eyes, his left one glowing in that strange blue light. The priestess paused looking thoughtful once more. “I cannot merely change your fate just like that, the effort must be yours you will determine where your soul ends at. Repent for your sins, help others prosper, with that you will live in a paradise eternally.”
“With that the nobleman changed his way... He lives to aid us even to this day!”
