SOMEBODY'S NAME:  Given Name:  Aristomache  Nickname:  Rage
HEARTLESS' NAME:  Aristomache
WEAPON:  Longsword, named Kokkino, Greek for "Red"
GENDER:  Male
AGE:  Lost his heart at 21


HAIR COLOR:  Gaxre has shoulder-length, blood red hair that is straight.  He has long bangs that are usually tucked behind his ears, but are long enough to block out his eyes if the doesn't tuck them behind his ears.  He doesn't pay much attention to his hair, so it has a tendency to be very messy and unkempt, giving him a rather haggard appearance.  On occasions where he knows he's going into a big fight and doesn't want his hair bothering him, he'll tie it into a small ponytail.
EYE COLOR:  Gaxre has very wide eyes, and his irises are of a dark brown shade.  There are always dark bags under his eyes because he never gets enough sleep.
SKIN TONE:  Gaxre's skin is of an average complexion.  He is neither dark-skinned nor fair skinned.
HEIGHT:  Gaxre stands at six feet tall.
WEIGHT/ BODY TYPE:  Gaxre weighs about two hundred fifty pounds, although most of his weight is his height combined with the amount of muscles that he has from being a former warrior, and from having to lift his heavy weapon.
ACCESSORIES/DISTINGUISHING MARKS:  On the back of his left hand, he has a deep scar from a wound inflicted by Nagexl.  All over his right arm, especially the palm of his hand, are all sorts of small scars from constantly drawing his own blood.


PERSONALITY:  Gaxre is a rough fellow.  On his exterior he's brash, rude, impulsive, apathetic and very much not a people-person.  He will not go out of his way to build bonds with people, and in most cases, even when approached by people, will not act outwardly friendly, and will react to most statements with a quick, profanity laden remark.  In most cases, he'll treat everyone he meets with a callous disregard, unless they're an enemy, or he really happens to dislike you.  While Gaxre dislikes almost everyone he meets, if you're his enemy or someone who has really happened to get on his bad side, you're more than likely to end up dead or maimed.  Fortunately, while he dislikes most people, he also doesn't care enough about most people to get that angry about them.  There are a few people who have Gaxre's respect, and one of the Nobodies he respects most is Elyxr.  He will follow every order given to him by Elyxr without complaint or resistance, which might come with some of the other Superiors, especially Zaxin.

When fighting, all of Gaxre's negative personality traits are amplified, hence his Proof of Existence.  Even when not in his trademark berserker state, when fighting, Gaxre tends to be extremely impulsive when fighting, rarely thinking through his moves, and just fighting as instinct tells him.  He will rarely speak in battle, and usually most of the noise he makes in battle will be angry roars.  His berserker state tends to be even worse, and when in it, Gaxre will be unable to distinguish friend from foe and will attack anything that gets in his way indiscriminately.

Of course, Gaxre, like everyone else, has his weak point.  Gaxre's happens to be people younger than him, especially those who are much younger than him, like his constant companion, Nagexl.  For the most part, Gaxre finds it very hard to be kind to people much younger than him, or people that act much younger than him.  While he has a very close connection to Nagexl, he also is very close to other younger Organization members, such as Xe'Jhere.  Perhaps because Gaxre never had a real childhood of his own, he tends to act like a big-brother.  However, especially when concerning Nagexl, and especially when considering fighting, Gaxre tends to have a very "tough love" style that could be considered to border on abusive on occaisons.  However, if Gaxre could be said to care for any Nobody, it would be Nagexl.

The other important aspect of Gaxre's personality, albeit a part that he does not want anyone to know about, is his love of books.  Whenever not fighting, training or being dragged around the castle by Nagexl, Gaxre can usually be found in the castle's library, reading.  He doesn't like to make this an obvious fact to anyone, and tends to not answer questions about where he's been.


HOW ELEMENT AND WEAPON ARE USED:  As Gaxre's Proof of Existence says, he is a berserker.  However, he doesn't naturally enter his berserker state whenever he enters a fight.  To enter his berserker state, Gaxre needs to consume blood.  It can be his own blood, his enemy's, an ally's, anyone's.  More often than not, it tends to be his own blood.  For the purpose of quickly drawing his own blood to enter his berserker state, Gaxre usually carries a small, black-handled dagger around with him.  He will never use this weapon to attack an enemy, and uses it exclusively to draw his own blood.

The length of Gaxre's berserker state correlates directly with how much blood he has consumed.  The more blood consumed, the longer the state.  On average, a decent, deep cut on his right hand, which is what tends to be his usual, will put him in the berserker state for three to four minutes.  However, Gaxre's berserker states tend to last longer when he consumes blood that is not his own, but he tends to use his own over that of an opponent's.

When in his berserker state, Gaxre becomes quite frightening.  He cannot distinguish friend from foe, and will attack anyone who stands in his way.  He also does not feel or acknowledge pain in this state, and becomes an unstoppable force.  However, this state has a few major downfalls.  Once Gaxre falls out of the berserker state, he is overwhelmed by pain and fatigue.  He typically will continue to fight after exiting his berserker state, until the point where he passes out from a combination of pain or fatigue.

Gaxre will not always use his berserker abilities when battling.  If he feels that he does not need to waste his energy, he won't.  Gaxre is a very competent fighter with his sword, Kokkino, and against human or humanoid foes, will even fight with his fists if necessary.  For the most part, unless one of his arms is incapacitated or he is extremely fatigued, Gaxre will prefer to use his sword.  The quickest way to disable him in battle is to take out one of his arms, as, unless he's in his berserker state, it would be too difficult for him to lift and wield Kokkino skillfully.

LIKES:  Fighting, Nagexl, peace and quiet, books, wine and Greek food.
DISLIKES:  Gibraelx, most people in general, his Heartless, things that can't be solved by hitting them until they die, working with incompetent partners.
WEAKNESSES:  Fighting not to kill, fighting large groups, fighting in a dark area, psychological warfare, working in a team, fighting opponents who play mind games.
STRENGTHS:  Fighting to the death, fighting single opponents, his high strength.
QUOTE:  "You don't wanna mess with me."
MISCILLANEOUS:  Gaxre is left-handed.
For all intents and purposes, Gaxre does not care enough to get into a relationship, but is bisexual.  He tends to prefer women, and rebuffs advances from men with homophobic comments.
He tends to slip into Greek when extremely angry or when drunk.


BACKGROUND:  Gaxre begun his life as a red-headed child born in the world of Olympus.  Unfortunately, his parents, who were both peasants, could not afford a child, and as such, the nameless youth with hair the color of blood was sold into slavery.

Aristomache, as he was eventually dubbed, because of his tendency to get into fights with other children, lived a relatively ordinary life for the time.  He was passed from home to home, mostly because of his violent behavior.  Somewhere along the line, one of his Masters saw fit to teach the child basic reading skills, although he never got a chance to exercise this until he became a Nobody.

Somewhere along the line, someone saw how aggressive this little red-headed slave was, quite good at fighting.  And someone decided to get this boy the proper training.  So Aristomache became a fighter.  He quickly rose through the ranks of the Coliseum, even as a young teenager, because of his reckless, berserker fighting style.  He was soon christened with the name of Rage, and continued to work his way up the ranks.

And Aristomache, or Rage, as he was now known, couldn't have been happier.  He didn't need anything more than this.  So long as he could fight, so long as he could kill, he would be happy.

And everything came crashing down when a young man by the name of Hercules, a young man who claimed to be the son of Zeus, came to challenge Coliseum champion Rage.  

He laughed, he scoffed.  He had fought many men claiming to be Demigods.  Many men had managed to beat the lower ranked fighters, but all of them fell to his sword.

But this one was different.  He was strong.  Really strong.  Strong enough to bend a sword with his hands.  Strong enough that the blade wouldn't cut his skin.

Needless to say, Coliseum champion Rage was quickly dethroned that day.  It might have been a relatively minor upset for anyone, but Aristomache took it quite hard.  This was his life.  And he had just lost.

So when the God of the Underworld, Hades, came by with an offer, how would he say no?  It seemed like such a simple deal at the time.  Give up his heart, and become strong enough to beat Hercules.  So he shook Hades' hand.

The pain was immense.  And Rage...no...no, that wasn't his name anymore.  Gaxre?  That sounded right...Gaxre woke up at the gates of a massive, white castle.  There was a young girl next to him, and she said her name was Nagexl.  The two of them entered the castle, and learned it was the castle of a group known as Organization Infinity, a group comprised of the shells left over after a heart had gone to darkness.  Gaxre and Nagexl, who were unusually close, quickly became members.

As for what became of Gaxre's heart, it's still wandering Olympus.  It goes by the name Aristomache, and, unfortunately for Gaxre, attempts to murder him every time they see one another.
