In South-West England, there was a scientist working on a project called the First Rose. He then took the seeds of this rose and implanted them into human subjects. These human subjects were known as the Black Roses and they had the ability to turn people into "Victims" - people who slowly become infectious zombies. In retaliation of these now human weapons infected humans, England created the Crimson Shell association to kill any Victims and the Black Roses. Among the Crimson Shell association, was Claudia, the Crimson Witch, who possessed the power to kill any Black Rose.
But where does that leave Shion? Shion looks bubbly, kind and reliable, with a lot of enthusiasm, and not a lot of brainpower. He looks like the complete opposite of a soldier. Easy to talk to and easy to trust, Shion was immediately accepted as a companion for the Crimson Witch. He is selfless, putting his life on the line for Claudia, even if he's terrified of fighting in a battle. Outwardly, he is friend, confident and advice-giver, even if it's not the most intelligent kind. Still, Shion gives nothing away, showing off a carefree aura.
However, every shred of warmth and love that Shion ever showed was a lie. Shion is secretly the Jet Rose, leader of the Black Roses and enemy of Crimson Shell. Violent, cruel and manipulative, Shion aims straight for the heart, while shooting off arms and legs is merely foreplay. He took Claudia's happiness from her, turning the man she loved into a victim and using everyone around him as a pawn for his victory. His anger towards Claudia is pure vengeance, as he hates her and the life she's been giving so easily, while the rest of them had to struggle. He also has a delusional need to be "perfect" while Claudia is the "imperfection, the flawed one" in order to justify his own existence.
Yet, Shion, deep inside, is lost and confused. When the head scientist left, Shion lost the only person that gave him confidence, the person he thought as a father. With a family that's slowly dying and an organisation that's hell-bent on killing them off, Shion reaches out for a cruelty and hardness that never was part of him to begin with. Shion is a child, with several masked personalities to hide himself, but he is and will always a scared child trying to find his home.

Abilities (after Powercap): While Shion won't be able to turn people into Victims, he would be able to have temporary control over a person's body (for at least a few hours). That is his most powerful ability. He also has vines that he uses to rend his victims from limb to limb. They will be restricted to two.
Items Brought In: A gun.
Samples:
You must do one of any of the following four:

He's gone.
Shion can barely breathe. He stood against the wall, listening to the scientists bicker about the spoils. Elimination, removal--He tuned them out after a while. Nothing they said was relevant to them anyway. They couldn't seriously be considering their destruction. They were--are the dream, the future. It's ridiculous to think that anything could happen to them (other than the fear, the lingering dread of the Black Spot, coming and killing them all silently). Shion lightly stepped into the training room, his vines appearing. There, he was settled. The loss of him, their Father, didn't matter here in the training room. He could unleash his full potential. His eyes flickered to the door and with a hiss, fifteen humans came in. With a flick, he threw them against the walls. Normally, he'd turn them into Victims, watch them writhe on the floor for a while, but today, he needed to vent.
A few hours later, he slipped back into his room. Already there was Victoria, her slim legs folded neatly. He appreciated the power in her eyes and a calmness he always wished he could have. He was good at acting, but she? She was professional. She tucked her wavy hair behind her neck, waiting for him to speak. She smelled warm, like she's been walking around in circles. He acknowledged her and she ducked her head in submission. His smile curled as he sat down next to her. She stroked his hair kindly, "Shion...? What have you heard?"
"He's gone."
She clicked her tongue, "Ah. When do I tell the others?"
"I'll tell them!" Shion snapped, "It's my responsibility, I'm the Jet Rose!"
"Yes, and no," Victoria was stubborn too, another thing Shion admired and hated. It made her invaluable, but she pushed too much, "You're not alone."
Shion choked back a sob, because he's the strong one, not her, "I'll be fine."
Victoria looked sad. Shion couldn't bring himself to care. He had plans to make and a family to take care of. He almost laughed. He was now the man of the house.
IC Survey:
--The character lying is acceptable if it's IC.
--But if the character would just dot it's not a good choice to go with.
Introduce yourself in a few sentences.
Hello~ My name is Shion Liddell! It's very nice to meet you.
Describe yourself physically.
Ah, I'm a bit on the short side, which is very embarrassing really. I don't look all that special, though.
What was your childhood like?
Oh... it was nice. There were lots of people... like Victoria ... Not much happened though.
Who is most important to you, and why?
Ah, Victoria and my family are important to me. I don't want to lose them, no matter what.
What's your biggest pet peeve?
People who take things for granted~. Aren't they annoying?
Do you consider yourself an optimist or a pessimist? Why?
Optimist, of course! Being a pessimist won't get me anywhere. It's always better to believe~
Where, or how, did you learn your most important skills?
Hmm, that's a strange question. Crimson Shell trained me, so that's where I learned everything I needed to know.
Do you think world peace is possible?
Of course! I did say I was an optimist. We can always come together.
Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
I try to find the best possible answer. Fighting just wastes energy.
What turns you on the most?
Ehhh, I don't think I like this question. It's not polite.
Anything else you'd like to say?
I hope we can talk again, sometime! Let's be friends~.
