[/font]Diamanto Soterios Nomiki Selectus III
Cities come and cities go just like the old empires,
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile,
You got so many colors make a blind man so confused,
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?[/center][/FONT]

Basic Info
[/SIZE][/FONT] Dia | Human | Male | Twenty One | Shakuhou Head | Lord Of The Shakuhou
BIO: The enigmatic and highly eccentric Diamanto Selectus hails from the land of Greece, where his family developed a steady fortune from various family ventures. However, drawn to Suiko, Selectus has taken it upon himself to take the reins of the once failing Shakuhou movement, standing in direct opposition to the powerful and established rule of the Twelve Noble Houses. His motives unclear, his methods amoral, and his strategies effective, one thing is certain when it comes to this bright yet mysterious foreigner: "Always expect the unexpected".

Physical
[/SIZE][/FONT]A smaller sized man, Diamanto stands only a rough five foot eight feet in height, often causing him to appear diminutive in comparison to the taller body guards he surrounds himself with. His body is thin, and lithe, somewhat catlike, though not underweight, somewhat soft from a spoilt lifetime spent in the lap of luxury. Dia's hair is perhaps the most noticeable aspect of him, a deep and burnt crimson colour, contrasting well with his creamy yellow skin earned from a mixed racial heritage of European and Japanese, as well as his bright and glossy cyan coloured eyes. As regarding attire, Dia prefers a bright, unusual colour pallet, such as creams, yellows, and oranges, while he typically only resorts to black and darker colours of it's ilk to allow the brighter ones to stand out all the more strongly. Generally adorning a suit of some sort, even in more casual settings, another of Diamanto's quirks certainly involve a penchant for costumes, such as mime outfits and military garb. Another point to note is that his various ties are constantly themed, whether in some subtle way, or highly noticeable.

Mental
[/SIZE][/FONT]- Extroverted ; Bordering on obnoxious, Dia is entirely unafraid to bare it all for the world, with little care or regard to his audience, so long as he has one. He enjoys surrounding himself with people, and is unabashed nor shy in personal dealings, no matter who the opposite party may be.
- Energetic ; Consistently moving from one topic to the next, it is not uncommon for Diamanto to become easily bored with topics or happenings he does not find interesting. He enjoys to deviously throw a little excitement into the mix, said dramatics not always being light-hearted or easily forgiven.
- Observant ; Dia often plays the part of the detached, shallow airhead, while in reality he is constantly on the watch for those around him. He adores the human race, to provoke others and view their reactions, and as such is constantly watching, constantly learning.
- Cunning ; Despite a somewhat ditzy and air headed facade, Dia is well aware of much of Suiko's going on's, and is constantly forming various strategies in the back of his mind. He holds surprising skills regarding manipulation and deceit, with a smooth, silvery tongue to couple.
- Childish ; Somewhat spoilt from a lavish lifestyle that lacked any true forms of discipline or work ethic, Diamanto has a moderately juvenile personality. He has an inability to accept no for an answer, the word hardly even in his dictionary. He also grows bored of things quite easily, and has a tendency to give up before even starting.
- Eccentric ; It only takes a number of moments with exposure to fully realize Diamanto's quirky, over the top persona. Beginning with his bright and colorful wardrobe, the quirks only continue further on when one considers his taste for unusual foods covered in honey, and refusal to miss his two o'clock naps.
- Sadistic ; Although outwardly kind and generous to all, behind closed doors, many of Dia's closer companions have come into contact with the sadistic and twisted half of his persona. Aside from his vicious physical abuse, he is known to use other methods to display a garner of control, such as creating conflicts for the pure joys of observing them.

Abilities
[/SIZE][/FONT]POWERS:
Mirror: An extremely rare, unnatural ability, many citizens of Suiko are unaware of this ability's existence, as Diamanto is one of the extremely few capable of performing it. When another user displays their ability before Diamanto, he is capable of mimicking the ability, so long as the user is within his line of sight. Should the loser disappear from his view, however, Selectus is incapable of replicating their power.
Empathy: Keen on the emotions of others, Selectus is capable of reading into emotions, often at a high level. Should he activate his powers, he is also capable of replacing those emotions with his own; for instance, he can transform the mood between two people in love into a knock out fist fight. Should his targets realize his power, it is easy to ward off the emotions, though many targets remain unaware.
SKILLS:
Fencing: Tutored by expert Frenchmen throughout his childhood after showing a penchant for the art at an early age, Diamanto is a capable of and skilled fencer. His movements are fluid, his actions are graceful, and his attacks are precise, a guide he compares to the most effective means of life.

Additional
[/font]Born upon the sunny and green shores of Greece, Diamanto was raised upon the Aegean Isles to a wealthy family of tourism entrepreneurs. It was a spoilt, luxurious childhood, with sweet memories of windswept villas and coastal day trips, though hollow, in a way, shallow and superficial and lacking any true developmental stages. Diamanto's father, the head of his own company, had little time to spare for his son, while his mother instilled much of Dia's personality through the early years of his life.
A cunning, gorgeous, intelligent woman, Ayane Hikuineko had wormed her way into the Selectus Empire carefully, known for her flawless delivery and lack of mis-steps. Though all eyes remained on her, a foreigner polluting the family bloodline, Ayane was always careful to act with charm and grace, teaching her son that the world need never know your hand. Aside from these lessons, however, she shared with him tales of her home of Japan, and stories of the mystical city where all people stood high, not only the rich as he was accustomed to.
Enthralled with Suiko, Dia lived for his mother's tales, and often centered much of his time upon hearing more. Tales of the Thirteen Warriors, and various other legends filled his mind, as became lost in a dreamland. However, his father, for reasons unknown to Selectus, refused to allow Dia, or Ayane, to step foot within the country, much less the city itself. For this reason, Dia grew to hate, and resent his Grecian lineage, clinging desperately to the Japanese.
At the age of twelve, Dia's once serene life was thrown into endless turmoil, beginning with Ayane's quite sudden overnight disappearance, as well as a sizeable amount of the Selectus fortune. The family, pride damaged from the betrayal, worried that the woman may return for her son, and thus locked Diamanto away into studies. He was moved frequently, city to city, between members of his empire, though treated with little love or kindness from each member, who only saw the Japanese half when they looked upon the boy. Dia, meanwhile, felt alone, betrayed, his mother having abandoned him with this harsh and cruel existance.
The only fond memory remaining was that of Suiko. Clinging desperately to tales of the city, a childhood innocence struggling to remain, Diamanto's obsessed. He researched endlessly in secret, gathering any and all resources available, craving any bit of knowledge of the metropolis. As he grew, so did his obsession, and it slowly began to twist and warp, similar to the young man himself, as dreams became plots.
Now, the age of twenty one, Dia finds himself finally in the city of his dreams, strongly against his father's wishes. His reasoning hazy, he has manned the lead of the Shakuhou, a once failing political movement seeking to overturn much of the power of the Twelve Houses, and warped it just as he warped his own dreams, into a dangerously effective threat to all the Suiko stands for.
