What is there to say? Nero's just your average high school student. Totally not hiding anything. Nothing special about him with those scars, bandaged up arm, white/black hair and yellow eyes. Nothing at all… No?

Okay, fine. Nero is a high school student but he's anything but average. For starters, he's pretty tall for his age, making most others at school look small in comparison. The only reason he's even still in high school is because he's a delinquent who got held back a year. He's rarely one to follow the rules set by others, especially if they just make no sense to him. If you assume with him being a delinquent he'd get into fights a lot then you'd be correct. Nero never backs down from a fight, regardless of if they have weapons or not. His scars attest to this. The funny part is he's not actually a bad guy, he just gets targeted for all the wrong reasons… although he does provoke people sometimes so that's on him.

Nero will often find himself falling asleep in class, not because the lesson is boring or because he's just being an ass, nothing like that. Something that people don't know about this man is that he actually has a part-time job as a store clerk, and his shifts are more often than not night hours. Meaning he can be working from 1am to 8am, just to then leave and go to school. Pretty understandable why he'd be tired a lot, and honestly it's this very tiredness which is the main reason for his poor attitude. Catch him well rested and he's like a completely different person.

Moving on to his backstory.
Nero has lived alone ever since he was 15 years old, the reason for this is that when he was a kid, he and his parents were attacked by a wanted predator. This monster ate Nero's parents right in front of him before attempting to eat him, however all they got was his left arm as he was trying to flee. The only reason it didn't get any more of him is because the sound of police sirens scared it off before it could finish it's meal. Nero collapsed, passing out as he saw the monster flee, he should have died from blood loss back then, but for some reason, someone or something decided to give him a second chance…

When Nero next awoke, his left arm was back, well, kind of. The arm was pitch black and felt heavier than before. It was like his arm was being poorly censored in some video game… For the next week he was forced to spend his time in the hospital, dealing with the polices insistent questions on things he can't answer, including what happened to his arm. When he was eventually released, he returned to his empty home. He was alone the whole night but he kept hearing a voice calling out to him, he didn't know what it was and assumed it was just some kind of trauma… At least until a name stuck out in his mind. "Balor." When Nero spoke this name his arm changed, or it awoke, rather. Naturally he freaked the ever loving f*ck out as he watched his fingers turn orange and become claws while spikes began to protrude from the black 'skin'. As it turns out, this arm was very much alive.

Neither he nor "Balor", as the arm was called, knew how they wound up together, but with them being attached Nero's body gradually started to change. Becoming stronger, faster, more durable, while his hair gradually started to turn white and his eyes glow yellow in exchange… Needless to say he now stands out from the crowd. This power only grew throughout the years as he became more connected to Balor, he learned all the different things the arm could do. Aside the physical changes it cause, it's stronger than steel, completely heat resistant and able to conjure up flames of its own when awakened. When the arm is in its dormant state it appears as just a normal pitch black arm on Nero, It's only when awakened it transforms into something a bit more menacing. Turns out this arm itself was a living weapon, one only he can talk to and has to keep secret from everyone. Which is why when he's out in public he will always keep his left arm completely bandaged up, not letting anyone else so much as touch it. It's very easy to tell that he has trust issues…
