Description At last we have the updated version of Antonio, the Main of Jyukenshi and the posterboy of the G+ Universe.

Since he's The Guy I knew I had to make this a good one, as good as the Classic version. So, I made his outfit more modern. What's good about this is that, in a pinch, it can easily be modified.

I also FINALLY got around to updating his backstory and added some new stuff so do give that a read.

I really hope you enjoy this, I know I do and I had a blast making it.

NOTE: The armored version from before is being retooled and will return as an updated Alt with a story to go with it.

Short Bio:  Antonio is the main protagonist of Jyukenshi and the leader of his group of friends. He grew up in the rural Southeast the son of famed Treasure Hunters David Holman the first and his father, David Holman the second and was as adventurous as his father and grandfather in his youth.

When he wasn’t going out into the woods with his great-grandfather he was travelling around State with his parents and grandparents. He was also a very happy and outspoken boy—if a bit spoiled—who liked making friends and speaking his mind. Two very good friends he had were Gale Dragonheart and Amy Wang , friends he has to this day. But, when Antonio entered middle school and the growing pains of adolescence he began to decline from happy and outspoken to introverted and grouchy at times, especially when he was forced to do something. A chance meeting with Naoko Mori at Time Out, the local mall's Video Arcade, made Middle School tolerable for him, as he was just beginning to appreciate Japan and Japanese culture thanks to Anime. Though Antonio and Naoko didn't see each other very often due to going to different schools they kept in touch via phone. High school was a little better for Antonio, though he was still a bit grouchy and introverted. Meeting Mizuki Kusanagi , the girl who would be his best friend, changed Antonio forever. He began to open up more to the outside world and get back into the things that made him happy in childhood, one being adventuring, which he did his late teens until high-school graduation.

But post high-school graduation he knew that it was time to think of the future. At first, he tried attending Alamance Community College in 2007, first for Journalism via College Transfer to University of North Carolina Greensboro. He always liked to write and he figured that Journalism would be the best course. But, near the end, he lost passion for Journalism and took a one-year break from school in 2008, partly due to a move and partly to figure things out. When he was settled in his new home computer troubles inspired him to try ACC again in 2009, this time for Computer Science. He attended from 2009-2010 but, as he went on, Antonio started to lose interest in computers and left again in 2011. Naturally, Antonio’s family was worried about him, as was he. He knew he had to make money somehow and often worried about the streets. After all, despite his adventures, he was far from street-smart.

It was in 2011 that his life would change again when his uncle, Reginald Neville , Head Captain of Toku Sentai America, approached Antonio at the behest of his mother. Reginald offered him the chance to earn money while fighting and going on adventures—via Missions—which Antonio agreed to. Unbeknownst to Antonio at the time, Reginald had an ulterior motive: he wanted to keep track of Antonio’s power and his Seijyuken, the Seiryutoutou. Nevertheless, Toku Sentai would prove to be just what Antonio needed. He got to fight, adventure, and make money in addition to being reunited with Mizuki and making new friends as well as longtime rivals such as his cousin Victoria Roberts . Antonio genuinely enjoyed his job at Toku Sentai and his fighting skill rose him through the ranks until he became a Captain. But he didn’t want to command a Squad like and worked alone with several partners.

But life is a bitch and threw Antonio another curveball when the atheist Science cult Humanity’s Upward March (H.U.M.) declared war against all things mystical, spiritual and religious in 2016. The conflict was as bloody as both World Wars and encompassed half the World, earning its moniker the "Third Great War". Fighting alongside Antonio were his fellow Toku Sentai Officers Mizuki and Victoria, his childhood friend Gale as well as Antonio's rivals Clayton Siler , Charles Martel and Selena Gutierrez, who live in Siler City, a town close to his hometown and one he knows fairly well. Antonio loved the War, it was a chance for him to truly let loose with everything he had. His ferocity and skill helped make a name for him but where he really earned his stripes was by killing Deoxia, the Canadian nanotechnician who led H.U.M. and was directly responsible for the conflict. Antonio's name was lauded on the battlefield by all--all except Reginald, who had wanted to take Deoxia alive to stand trial. The upset Reginald called his nephew in for questioning but Antonio, who believed he did nothing wrong, bit back. Eventually, this led to Antonio leaving Toku Sentai for good. Mizuki, who had grown tired of fighting by then, also resigned, partly out of concern for her dear friend.

Antonio, who lost his only income, had fears of 2008 come back. Thankfully, these fears were short-lived. A year after the War, Antonio was contacted by Jamal al-Rashid , a hugely respected Muslim fighter he met during the War. Jamal offered Antonio the chance to join the Celestia Foundation, an organization made up entirely of Seijyukenshi that protects people from Supernatural threats. Antonio couldn't say yes quickly enough and is now an integral part of the organization who is well-liked by his peers and has the potential to go far...

...farther than anyone, even Antonio himself, is aware of.

Despite his oft-stoic expression, Antonio is actually a very polite, intelligent, well-spoken and laid-back young man. Often quiet, he doesn't take things too seriously unless the situation warrants it. He's also a deep believer in God and the Metaphysical, part of why he loves his job at Celestia Foundation. But he's a bit cynical, brutally honest, and can be considered hard-headed and heavily opinionated when it comes to his beliefs. Despite his politeness, Antonio is quite introverted and prefers a night a home to going to the club. But that doesn't mean he lacks an appetite for the opposite sex. In fact, his polite demeanor has made him quite popular with the ladies at the Foundation. Outside work, he's been known to take those he's close friends with out to dinner occasionally. Two of those ladies being Erika Yoo-jeong Park and Delia Chen . He actually has a girlfriend, fellow Celestia Foundation member Delilah Kato but she doesn't mind this since she's often on missions and she is very close with Antonio.

In battle he is a Samurai to the core, with a yearning to test his skills against all comers and is one of the strongest fighters around, period. Despite his like of battle, he prefers not to go looking for a fight but if he does find one he always fights fairly and honorably. Much like a Samurai, his fighting Style contains all manner of moves both armed and unarmed. He was taught Kagami-ryu Kenjutsu, a very exclusive school of Japanese Swordsmanship, by Helen Kagami , Matriarch of the legendary Kagami Family. The Holman and Kagami clans are close allies and have been for generations. His hand-to-hand style is one of his own creation. It consists of strikes, Grapples, and reversals, taken from various Martial Arts to utilize his abnormal strength and large frame. To battle Supernatural opponents he can call upon special kind of Pyrokinesis as well as abilities he will gain later.

However, Antonio is not all about "The Fight" like some tired, Gi-and-Headband-clad "Fighter" stereotype. In everyday life Antonio loves playing video games, particularly Fighting, Hack n’ Slash, and RPGs. His second love is Anime and, from time to time, Manga and collecting toys. On the opposite side of the coin he also has a deep appreciation for nature and walking around the forest near his home in the country. He also enjoys cooking and, according to his friends, is quite good at it.

Seijyuken: Antonio’s Seijyuken is the Seiryutou, a Katana carved from the fang of Seiryu, the Blue Dragon of the East. It corresponds with the Constellation Qing Long. It's base form is that of a normal Katana but when Antonio channels Seiryu's Spirit the sword's hilt takes the shape of Seiryu's head. The sword, like all Seijyuken as well as thier rival weapons the Dojyuken and Zyuohken, also have secret abilities.
