NAME: Gunzi Rider Pollus
AGE: Early twenties.
APPEARANCE: Strikingly bright in his home world of blacks and grays, he’s a well-muscled man of average height (6’0” I want to say), with long, layered yellow-blond hair that runs just a little past his shoulders and covers his eyes—which are a bright, clear intimidating blue, complete with tiny pupils of the insane™.
He wears a short-sleeved red hoodie (sometimes mistaken for pink, but he'll assure you it isn't), almost always with the hood up, concealing his eyes further. Because the garment is always left open, and he wears no shirt underneath, it’s easy to get a glimpse of his elaborate tattoo—it’s thick and black and hard to ignore, taking up the majority of his chest, arms and back. It’s composed of two sun-like circles on his shoulders, connected to an odd pattern on his chest; this crawls all the way up to his throat, which is entirely covered in black except for a small space of un-marked skin down the center, and it lines his jaw. The tattoo also extends past his shoulder blades and finally ends on his backside. Additionally, on either of his wrists there are flame-like markings that run up to his elbows, and it's no doubt he has even more odd tattoos on his legs.
His ears are lined with various piercings, mainly simple hoops, while wrists are partially concealed by bandages, beneath his weapons—Wolverine-esque claws—attached to his knuckles, which most likely conceal self-inflicted injures or tracklines from drug usage.
He wears generic black jeans—low-riding ones, giving a rather suggestive view of his hips. He has two belts, one plain and one studded, adorned with a few chains, and, oddly, at least a dozen dog tags (probably tags of people he's killed). On his feet he wears half-done army boots, their tops peeled down, with his pant legs stuffed into them.
PERSONALITY: Generally, it varies. Sometimes he'll speak coherently, in complete sentences (although it's usually smart-assed remarks or insults), other times he speaks childishly, almost as if he had a mental disorder of some sort... which he probably does.
In Gunzi’s world, everything is falling to pieces; he comes from a sort of futuristic dystopia, ran amuck with drugs and chemicals and war. Everyone has to cope with it in his or her own way, and I suppose the way he deals with it is by being insane—completely, utterly insane. There really isn’t much to his personality besides that, aside from the fact he completely lacks any morals at all (he isn’t opposed to raping, maiming, or killing indiscriminately, most obviously—his line of work has probably just made him extremely jaded, dealing with psychopaths, rapists, pedophiles, etc...).
Rarely is he ever not smiling, a wide, twitchy smile that shows his teeth. He also has a penchant for giggling devilishly, constantly, for seemingly no reason at all, which intimidates and frightens many people, not to mention his random yelling and mumbling to himself, as well as letting his tongue hang out all the time.
When he speaks, his voice is sinister and nasally—and his words don’t always make sense, sometimes making him seem a bit more dull than he actually is—he’ll speak in riddles or made up, cutesy words, mostly just to tease, confuse, and frustrate whoever he’s currently interacting with. He also has a habit of speaking lazily, undulating between loud and soft, making it hard to tell when he's being serious, fooling around, or trying to seduce. Most don't get him. Really, though, he is as dumb as a fox. He is capable of civil conversation, but typically, he isn’t really interested, unless the situation is really serious… or he's engaged in a battle of wits with his partner, Kiriwar.
BACKGROUND: Gunzi’s personal history is unknown for the most part. Maybe he had a nice life before this all. Maybe he was a streetrat. Whatever his story, he is a victim--just like the rest of the planet's inhabitants—to the destruction of World War III, taking place during the "Christian era" of 20XX (direclty quoting the manga). The world seems like an endless wasteland; the country of Japan has split in two (CFC and Nikkouren), leaving the people torn apart and confused, lost. In a pathetic attempt to pull the country back together, the government enforced strict policies on family sizes and law enforcement procedures, including tournaments to determine who lived and who died. It only ruined the country further.
Gunzi lives in CFC, in a quadrant called Toshima (a part of Tokyo), which has been reduced to nothing more than a redlight district, run amuck with whores and murderers and psychopaths.
His story really begins when a rich man named Arbitro—jokingly called "Mama" by Gunzi—the leader of the "narcotics organization," Vischio, finds him; what led him to take interest in the boy is unknown, but he has been the butt of some of the man's... "experiments," leaving Gunzi a little lacking in the sanity department. He spends his days as one of his henchmen alongside other "properties" of Arbitro, Kiriwar and Inu (dubbed "the most beautiful" by Arbitro; Gunzi insists his name is Pochi and is usually the one who leads him about on his "leash" when he isn't by Arbitro's side), and is one of the official "Punishers" of the rule-breakers in Arbitro’s tournament, Igura, making him one of the most feared individuals in the city.
Igura is a game that criminals are allowed to play in order to attempt to get out of jail, or somehow "redeem" themselves for what they've done—although no one has ever won. The prize is to become "Il-Re"--that is, become the leader Vischio and take Arbitro's place. Contestants are given one dog tag to start out with; each dog tag has a card symbol on it (Ace of Spaces, Queen of Hearts, etc.), and this is the “hand” they begin with. The game is played much like poker, and opponents must obtain one another’s tags in order to get a Royal Flush (determined by battles that can take place in any area designated as "AREA:RAY", making it very much a free for all, save designated "neutral" zones). In addition to that, the player must aquire at least eleven full houses in order to challenge the Il-Re.
Killing is not allowed, stealing tags is not allowed, among other things; if the rules are broken, the offender is sent to Gunzi and Kiriwar, who are left to do what they want with them. Typically, the victim is tortured, raped, and eventually killed. Often the body will be dragged about the city for some time, drenching the streets in the victim's blood. Sometimes the two of them hurt and kill indistriminately even if no rules have actually been broken.
Such is a typical day in the life of Gunzi. Well, until he was mistakenly sent to the D.gray-man world while running an errand for "Mama."
STRENGTHS: Gunzi has a set of 9-inch long, slightly curled claws on either of his hands, fastened at his knuckles. There are three on each hand. He uses these to rip and rend his opponents, in addition to his impressive agility and dexterity when engaged in battle.
WEAKNESSES: He has a habit of not taking anything seriously, and picking at the wrong people—he’s used to provoking hard-assed criminals and murders and then being allowed to “play” with them—a privilege that, if he dared to abuse here, could get him into a lot of trouble along the way, and ultimately, result in his death.
