General, personality:

Blady is a former actor and a hitman, sent after Diamon by Cega. He's recognised by his nonchalant attitude (like this media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9ygfl… ) and ever present cigarette. Those who got to work with him also know that behind this confident front hides an easily irritable man of a fickle ego packed with insecurities (like this media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m05t5q… ). This makes the vain man a little paranoid, often suspecting people of secretly mocking him. Blady's also infamous for target pickiness - he prefers to hunt down those who 'had it coming', and is often thought too soft by other hitmen.
He became a hitman in the turn of events after murdering a man who came to close the theatre Blady worked in demonade-comic.deviantart.com/…. His heart still lies with his actor past and he will use every opportunity to show off his acting skills.


Likes:
theatre, cigarettes, fashion, hunter dogs, lazy time at home, flrting, good singing (listening), being admired but also complimenting others

Dislikes:
being mocked, forgetting things, complicated technological devices, thieves (well, most of them)


Looks:

Bodytype ref: smoludozerka.deviantart.com/ar…
- 178cm (5'10'') tall and slightly displeased with that.
- He is fit but not too muscly, with a little fat here and there. Said to be pudgy, wholeheartedly disagrees.
- Pale skin. He almost doesn't tan.
- Brown/dark blonde wavy hair, which he combs back for elegant looks and leaves ruffled when at home.
- Large eyes, light greenish blue.
- Upturned nose. Very upturned nose.
- Prefers to dress in a semi-elegant style, with a hint of dandy. Shirts, coats, scarves. Usually clothes in toned shades of green, brown, and violet. He enjoys dressing up for an ocassion.
- Has two tattoos as a tribute to the theatre: a tragedy mask on his left arm, and a comedy mask on his right arm, both on a smoke-like background: sta.sh/#/d1y04cc8li4f fav.me/d4x3v4a


Fight:

Good with blades, bad with guns. His favourite set is a pair of gloves, one with a hidden blade and one with an immobilising power. Blady wears them interchangeably on both hands thanks to being ambidextrous. He depends more on the technique and weapons than on strength.


Family:

Once he became a hitman, Blady lost touch with his parents, and his father disowned him. A year later Blady restore the ties with his older brother Farley. Although the two won't admit it, they do care a lot for each other.
He remembers his home fondly, if slightly bitterly.


Relationships:

In the before-hitman life he used to be quite a party animal, now he's grown more withdrawn. He remains a sociable person though, easily making both friends and enemies. His job encourages the latter more, but in both cases his relationships are mostly superficial nowadays. If he does form a deeper friendship with someone, he becomes much more relaxed, fun to be around, and actually quite supportive.
It is notable that once he makes an opinion of someone, changing his mind becomes very difficult. No, he won't like this loser, because no!

- He sometimes works with Oria, and rarely also with Redvil, on assassin assignments. Oria is somewhat of a friend to him, although they are far from trusting each other. He finds both hitmen way too unscrupulous for his own limits, and considers himself the most normal of the three. Redvil's sense of humour tends to annoy him, too, but it is easy to annoy a Blady.

- The "assassins' manager" and a link to most of Blady's assignments, Corber Savinion , is a kind of a necessary evil acquintance to him, and their relations vary from friendly to hostile. Savinion introduced Blady to the hitman business and probably partly influenced his nonchalant style. One of their points of disagreement is attitudes to people, with Blady being the people person (often more of a dead people person but still), and Savinion viewing people mostly as tools. Anyway, they share  enthusiasm for theatre and music, something not easily found in other people they work with.

- As Diamon's his assassin target, Blady's generally prejudiced against any of his allies. He took a liking to Atra , though, first as a fancy, then also as a person to relate to, as both are impulsive and like to show off confidence.

- Blady's romantic life is  build on intertwining periods of wanting to settle down and of claiming to be a free and unattached person.  He praises himself as a ladies' man and practices flirting with varied success.
He's also shown (mutual) interest in men, as evidenced by  his current relationship with Iisjah.


Other:

- Needs to be careful with his heart, has been through one heart attack already, and being prone to stress doesn't help.
- He is a bit paranoid about growing old and losing his memory, which is also related to the actor past.
- Goes by the name Alan Batro as a more or less peaceful citizen.
- Rather lax about his job, unless he's pushed.
- Tends to be possessive, more about belongings and territory (home), but also about people.
- "Blady" is intended to be his hitman name, but he got so used to it that even people from outisde the work call him that.
- As a hitman, he has several scars, but most scarred is his left side. His right side, for a change, is very ticklish.
- Speech: because he got to find himself in various crowds and social classes and has it easy to adapt, his speech tends to be a mixture of high-style (think: an arrogant noble speech) and low-style (think: a thug speech, with quite a bit of swearing).
