About

Personality

Impetuous Aniki rarely quits nor does he ever admit defeat. Sometimes childish and idealistic, he is incredibly proud of his family; in his eyes, the his mother, father, sister, and even his grandparents are one of the strongest people in the world. He believes he must work hard to live up to his elders' legacy, and more importantly his title of the Nightingale that was passed down from his mother to him. At first, the young man rushes to achieve greatness. When he is taught otherwise, he becomes strictly obedient to commands. Antoni may pout if his weaknesses are exposed to him, yet his earnest enthusiasm never fails to shine in his actions. Simple words or gestures of gratitude are all he needs to keep him in high spirits.
Outside of his work, he does his best to prevent but still make several mistakes in his recklessness, he admires his parents and younger sibling and would gladly lay down his life to save them. His life brightens with his their praises and wisdom, and his visage instantly pales when he is scolded. Due to his elders' patronizing, Aniki innocuously prides his work and seeks to defend it like a true champion.

During his work, however, Aniki's change of pace seems to differ from his personal life. He believes that he needs to continue the trend of a cold, calculating demeanor like the Nightingales before him - hence he tries to conform into someone that really suit him much. Antoni takes passion into assassination quite seriously, though may not act like it and will likely break out of the stoic character whenever anyone he values is in danger.

The story

From Mia, to Frederick, to Charlotte... Aniki was next to become this generation's Nightingale.

Coming from a household who's grown in the household where a Nightingale has lived, he found such a job to be something he'd always wanted to do as he'd gotten older. And surprisingly, his mother had handed him the reins of being just the one. He may not be 100% physically and mentally capable of the work, but Aniki simply dreamed of becoming the Nightingale like his mother and Grandfather and refuses to let anyone else take the title unless it's for himself.

He's still a tad bit inexperienced to the role of the Nightingale, trying to juggle between his everyday "normal" lifestyle and the contracts he's received; Antoni gets help from several different experienced. brilliant, and masterful individuals that he looks up to greatly.

Relationships

Annie May  [ Sister ]

Aniki's little sister whom he values greatly. Though Antoni may be the Nightingale and handles all of the assassinations, he's not as tech-friendly as his sister. Therefore he shares some of the role with Ann in regards to hacking. Annie May gave her older brother the name of Aniki due to her love for anime, and the name remains the same out of respect.

Carmen  [ Lover ]

Despite the constant bullying even if he's older than her - he and her sister get constantly bullied whenever she's around! He may not like the constantly teasing and her screaming "NERD" from the other side of... wherever they may be, Antoni has a thing or two for her. He also really likes bowling, but is never good with the sport. Perhaps that's the reason why he's always getting punched by her?

Charlotte  [ Mother ]

The mother he values as dearly as his sister and the Nightingale before him. Aniki was willingly to take the mantle of the assassin bloodline and Charlotte was there to start him up! Although strict, Antoni tries very hard to live up to his mother's expectations. He's often embarrassed and somewhat nervous when he asks her mother for advice and help involving his work - hence why he seeks others for help. Nonetheless, he still loves her as a mother and hopes that he'd make her proud!

Jr. [ Father ]

A father who isn't as strict like his mother, Junior is quite an easy going man despite he's the President and the CEO of the worldwide and prominent Demos corporation. The two of them share the same interests regarding their everyday lifestyle, but out of his parents and siblings... he seems to know his father the least. It's odd, considering Junior is his father, but he merely wants to keep Aniki safe from whatever connections he has with Prodigal. Rarely he ever sees his father angry, but he gets particularly mad whenever Aniki brings up the Organization.

Jackson  [ Mentor of Stealth ]

Who else could teach the Nightingale to be sneaky than the Master Thief? Due to a heartfelt request from one of his Grandfathers, he accepted a contract involving catching the Master Thief, who mysteriously became corrupted and turned evil. After saving Rivers and turned back to his original, jolly self - Jackson agrees to help him out by training him to be one of the best of stealth!

Frederick  [ Mentor of Bloodlust | Grandfather]

The ability of sensing one's bloodlust runs through the family. Despite her mother teaching her most of what a Nightingale should do and be, he thought it'd be wise to seek for advice from the man who passed his mother the reins in the first place. Frederick was one a Nightingale and he definitely has advice for Aniki; especially when teaching him how to hide his own bloodlust just like him and his mom.

Hope  [ Mentor of Close Combat | Grandfather]

Despite that his father strictly wants Aniki to not spend too much time with any Prodigal agents, he still stumbles upon Baron. Hope may be an older gentleman, and most grandfathers shouldn't be too physically capable of performing hand-to-hand combat. Yet, Hope - who is still an active agent in the Prodigal - is still just that kind of man. Skilled in different forms of martial arts since childhood, there's so much Baron could teach him in order to fend for himself in hand-to-hand combat. Only because his katana doesn't help him out on his missions most of the time...

Vermilion  [ Mentor of Weapons ]

Due to his father and Atticus's recommendation, he was lead to a mysterious individual known as Ken Hyo - an ex-bodyguard and an agent to the Demos corporation, Vermilion strays away from anything relative to assassinations and other heavily physical jobs. However, Ken has a valuable collection of weapons and even more valuable connection to both legal and illegal arms dealer for Aniki to gets his hands on.
