Elements RPG! Part 1

[Reasoner]

OOC: Yeah, im not much of a fan of paragraph battling either, it can get way too complicated and too long. So do me and Terro just sit and watch for awhile or something?

[Bloodshadow]

Your fight was over, so I guess that's what you're supposed to do while Zanthos fights Heimdall and Jonathan fights Xanriel.

My instant win biography

A much younger Ezio, portrayed by Devon Bostick.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze was born in Florence in 1459 AD, the second son of Giovanni and Maria Auditore. Until the age of 17, Ezio lived a life of luxury as a member of the Florentine noble class, unaware of his father's allegiance to the Assassin Order. As a youth he was an apprentice to his father, a Florentine banker, presumably to learn the ropes of banking, so that he could become the leader of the Auditore bank.
At the beginning of Assassin's Creed II in the year 1476, Ezio, his older brother Federico, and friends of the family got into a fight with Vieri de' Pazzi and his gang. Ezio singlehandedly defeated several members of the opposing gang, but unfortunately, Vieri escaped the scene before Ezio could do anything to him. During the fight, Ezio was cut on the side of his mouth, so Frederico suggested that they visit the local doctor. After looting several people left unconscious from the fight, the two brothers ran across the rooftops to the Doctor.
After the doctor had tended to his wound, a church nearby caught the eye of the brothers and Federico suggested a race. Ezio won and together the two looked out over the city. Realizing that they were nearby, Ezio traveled to the house of Cristina Vespucci and spent the night with her. Caught by Cristina's father the morning after, Ezio fled from a group of pursuing guards before meeting with his father at the Palazzo Auditore who assigned him the task of delivering several letters to his father's contacts.
After returning the palazzo, Ezio found his distraught sister crying after discovering her boyfriend had been unfaithful. After obtaining his whereabouts, Ezio beat the man and warned him to stay away from his sister. Upon returning to the palazzo again, his mother secured his services in picking up some paintings from a young artist that she patronized, Leonardo da Vinci. On the walk home, Leonardo struck up a conversation, beginning a friendship between the two young men that would last throughout their adult lives.
[edit]Arrest and execution of his family


Ezio's Family being hung for treason.
After completing his errands, Ezio returned home to find the house ransacked, his father and brothers missing and his mother and sister hiding. Learning that city guards had been ordered to arrest Giovanni and all of his sons, Ezio made his way to the Piazza della Signoria, where his father and brothers were being held. Climbing the building and speaking to his father through the cell's windows, Ezio was instructed to find a chest hidden in his office, to take everything out of it and to deliver a sealed letter to Uberto Alberti, the personal assistant of Lorenzo de' Medici, and a close friend of the Auditore family. Doing so, Ezio found the Assassin coat that he would wear for the next 23 years and the letter containing details of a plot against the city of Florence and the Auditore family. Ezio brought the incriminating documents to Alberti and was assured that his family would be released the following day when the information was presented as evidence of their innocence.
The next day, Ezio returned to the Piazza della Signoria to find Alberti presiding over the execution of the Auditores (watched over all the while by a mysterious stranger who had been present with Alberti the previous night). Giovanni claimed his innocence, citing the information given to Alberti as evidence, who denied any knowledge of such evidence's existence. Ezio's efforts to prevent the execution were ultimately in vain, and he could only watch helplessly as his father, older and younger brothers were hung. When he attempted to charge the scaffold to avenge his kinsmen, Alberti ordered the city guards to murder Ezio. At the urging of one of Giovanni's friends, a thief, Ezio fled the Piazza della Signoria and sought shelter in a brothel, ran by the sister of the Auditore housemaid, a courtesan named Paola.
Paola agreed to assist Ezio in his quest for vengeance, teaching him how to survive in the city as an outlaw through pickpocketing and blending in crowds. She further directed Ezio to Leonardo da Vinci to repair the Hidden Blade of the late Giovanni Auditore. After fixing the blade, Ezio sought out and assassinated Alberti in the courtyard of the Basilica of Santa Croce, stabbing him multiple times in the heart before proudly shouting his name to everyone present, marking Alberti as Ezio's first assassination.
[edit]Start as an Assassin


Ezio yells at the corpse of Vieri de' Pazzi.
Now the most wanted man in Florence, Ezio fled Florence with his mother and sister in the hopes of making their way to Spain, stopping beforehand at the Auditore family's villa in the town of Monteriggioni, as a means of shelter. During their travel to Monteriggioni, the three were accosted by Vieri de' Pazzi and his followers, but were saved by the timely arrival of Ezio's uncle, Mario, and his Mercenaries. Mario informed Ezio of the Assassin Order, in an obvious attempt to induct him into the Order, revealing that many of his ancestors, including Giovanni, were a part of the Order. However, Ezio refused his ancestry, wishing only to continue onto Spain to ensure his mother and sister's safety. Enraged, Mario left Monteriggioni for the city of San Gimignano, the location of Vieri de' Pazzi, in the attempt to relieve Monteriggioni of continual assaults by Vieri's minions. Guilt-ridden and knowing his presence was a primary reason for the ongoing attacks, Ezio traveled to San Gimignano to accept Mario's offer.
When Ezio arrived outside the city, he joined Mario and his mercenaries in their assault on the city, waiting until nightfall to make their way to Vieri de' Pazzi by killing guards patrolling the city near the gates. After briefly watching a meeting between Rodrigo Borgia, Jacopo de' Pazzi, Francesco de' Pazzi and Vieri, Ezio encountered and fought Vieri for the last time. After a brief duel, Ezio eventually overpowered and killed Vieri. Ezio tried to extract a confession from his old enemy, but to no avail as Vieri chose to be snide even to the very end. Infuriated by this, Ezio flew into a rage and threatened to exact terrible vengeance on Vieri's corpse until his uncle calmed him and reminded him of a tradition of the Assassins: showing respect to those they have killed.
[edit]Killing the Pazzi
The Pazzi were a venerable and potent family, reduced to rubble by one young assassin.
―Rodrigo Borgia, reflecting on the collapse of the Pazzi family[src]


Jacopo de' Pazzi and the fellow conspirators.
Following the death of Vieri, Ezio returned to Florence to gather information with La Volpe and prevent the planned Pazzi takeover and deaths of Lorenzo de' Medici and Guilani de' Medici. Arriving too late to save Guilani, Ezio managed to prevent the death of Lorenzo, the ruler of Florence, and restored his family's good name. However, the Pazzi had already succeeded in their plan and brought the city into a state of civil war. After learning the location of Francesco de' Pazzi at the Piazza della Signoria, Ezio chased down and slew him, although Jacopo de' Pazzi and several other conspirators were able to escape the city. Shortly afterward, the Medici publicly cleared the name of the Auditore family and provided Ezio with the names of the conspirators who had escaped.
Learning that the Pazzi conspirators had fled to San Gimignano, Ezio tracked down and killed Antonio Maffei, Stefano da Bagnone, Bernardo di Bandino Baroncelli and Francesco Salviati, extracting from each man information on the hiding place of Jacopo de' Pazzi. Using the information, Ezio located his quarry and tracked Jacopo to an ancient Roman theater. Once there, Ezio eavesdropped on a meeting between Jacopo de' Pazzi, Rodrigo Borgia and a Venetian merchant, Emilio Barbarigo. After fatally wounding Jacopo for his failure to capture Florence, Borgia revealed to Ezio that he knew that he was there and was apprehended by Borgia's bodyguards while Borgia and Emilio fled. Before the guards could murder him, Ezio overpowered and killed Borgia's men before swiftly putting the dying Jacopo out of his misery.
[edit]Venice
Emilio Barbarigo: "The assassin is here, in Venezia?"
Carlo Grimaldi: "He's been here for weeks! How could you be so blind?"
―Emilio Barbarigo and Carlo Grimaldi discuss Ezio.
With the Pazzi conspiracy ended, Ezio returned to Lorenzo and declared his success. Before leaving the city for Venice, Ezio was granted a gift; a Medici cape, that would keep the city guards' attention from him. Ezio then made his way to the studio of Leonardo, only to find that he had just left for Venice himself. Meeting with Leonardo, the two made their way through the Appennine Mountains to the city of Forlì, narrowly avoiding the Templar soldiers sent after them by Rodrigo Borgia.
Eventually arriving in Forlì, the two made their way to the city docks, where Ezio was refused passage without a pass. It was at this moment that the two heard the screams of a noble lady stranded in the city's wetlands. Ezio swiftly hastened to her rescue and was able to row the woman ashore. Rescued, the lady introduced herself as Caterina Sforza and coerced the dockman to grant Ezio passage to Venice. Once in Venice, Ezio and Leonardo were given a brief tour by Alvise of the city before Ezio begun to seek out a way into the Palazzo of Emilio Barbarigo, although this effort proved to be in vain. Suddenly pushed aside, Ezio watched as a gang of thieves attempted and failed to breach the palazzo leading Ezio to subsequently aid in the escape of the thief Rosa, who had been shot through the leg with an arrow. After successfully escaping the city guards, Ezio was introduced to the leader of the Venetian thieves guild, Antonio, and together concocted a new plot to kill Emilio Barbarigo and liberate the merchant district.
The plot was successful, and gave Ezio the name of another Templar conspirator – Carlo Grimaldi. A government official and member of the Council of Ten, Carlo was close to Giovanni Mocenigo, the Doge of Venice and hoped to turn him to the Templar cause. Overhearing another meeting between Borgia and Carlo, Ezio uncovered a plot to poison the Doge and replace him with Marco Barbarigo. Returning to Antonio, the two sought to find a way into the Palazzo Ducale, the Doge's Palace, searching the front gates, the rear walls and even passing over the Basilica di San Marco; but were hampered at every turn. Returning to the piazza below, an enraged Antonio remarked at how only birds might get into the Doge's palace, reminding Ezio of Leonardo's flying machine he had seen on the way to Forlì. After a somewhat unsuccessful test flight, Leonardo came up with a way to ensure Ezio reached his destination.


Ezio assassinates Carlo Grimaldi.
After removing the city guards at four separate locations, Antonio's thieves proceeded to light massive bonfires throughout the city, giving Ezio the lift Leonardo's flying machine needed to make it to the Palazzo Ducale. The plan worked and Ezio breached the Palazzo Ducale, although he was too late to save the Doge. Carlo fled the scene, crying out that Ezio had assassinated the Doge, although it did no good for Grimaldi met his own end at Ezio's hands moments later. Blamed for killing the Doge though, Ezio was now the most wanted man in Venice, and was forced to flee the city guards. Returning to Leonardo's workshop for help, Ezio was directed to the brothel of Sister Teodora, where Antonio was presiding. Under the cover of Carnevale, Ezio made his way to the brothel and begun planning the death of Marco Barbarigo, competing in the four games of Carnevale to win the golden mask that would gain him entrance to Marco's private party. Ezio was successful but found himself denied the golden mask by Marco's cousin Silvio Barbarigo and Marco's personal slave-bodyguard, Dante Moro, who intimidated and bribed the judges into denying Ezio his prize. However, Ezio was successful in regaining the mask and managed to assassinate Marco, leaving the door open for Agostino, a Barbarigo not entwined with the Templars and ally of Antonio, to legitimately become Doge.
With his quest nearly at an end, Ezio tracked down Silvio Barbarigo and Dante Moro, in the process liberating the mercenary leader, Bartolomeo d'Alviano, and his soldiers. Having tracked the Templars to the city Arsenal, Ezio managed to storm the Arsenal with the help of Bartolomeo and his men and kill Dante Moro and Silvio Barbarigo, but was astonished to learn that the plot to remove the Doge was merely a distraction so that the Templars could move their vessel to Cyprus, although the reasons for this were unknown to Ezio.
[edit]Induction into the Order


Ezio's receiving the Assassin's mark
It's been ten years since I watched my father and brothers die. Ten years hunting the men responsible. I'm close to the end now, but no closer to knowing what any of it was for!
―Ezio discusses his life as an Assassin.
Two more years passed before word of the Templar vessel reached Ezio once again on his twenty ninth birthday, when Rosa brought him a shipping manifest detailing the return of the ship that very day. Sneaking into the Arsenal, Ezio watched as a Templar soldier carrying a Piece of Eden disembarked from the ship and made his way to a Templar base in the city. Following the soldier, Ezio assassinated and impersonated the guard, carrying the Piece of Eden to a meeting with Rodrigo Borgia himself. Finally able to confront the man ultimately responsible for the deaths of his father and brothers, Ezio spurned the Templar Grand Master for the non-appearance of the supposed "prophet" detailed in the Codex prophecy. Borgia responded, proudly naming himself the prophet before engaging Ezio in battle. The battle was short and Ezio easily bested the Templar. On the backfoot, Borgia called upon the city guards and insulted the assassin for the lack of "his people" showing up.
At this very moment Mario Auditore, Antonio, Paola, Teodora, La Volpe and Bartolomeo d'Alviano appeared, driving off Borgia and revealing themselves to Ezio as Assassins. With the arrival of Niccolò Machiavelli, it is revealed to Ezio that he was in fact the supposed "prophet", and that for the past decade they had all worked together to induct Ezio into the Assassins Order. That night, they all met again and Ezio was formally inducted into the Order.
[edit]Battle of Forlì
Muori col tuo orgoglio, per quanto vale… Requiescat in Pace.
(Die with your pride, for what it's worth… Rest in Peace.
―Ezio Auditore to Ludovico Orsi[src]


Ezio overflying the city of Forli.
Shortly after his induction, Ezio met with Mario and Niccolò and traveled to the studio of Leonardo da Vinci, hoping he could shed some light upon the strange artifact Borgia had dubbed "the Apple". Leonardo remarked upon the unique device, commenting upon the metals that he believed should not exist, remarking the Apple was highly advanced despite its age. Briefly touching the Apple, Ezio accidentally activated the device, which started to glow and show strange images holographically. De-activating the device, Niccolò announced that he had arranged for the Piece of Eden to be held in the Rocca di Ravaldino, protected by an ally of the Assassin's – Caterina Sforza. Niccolò and Ezio met with Caterina in Romagna, just outside the city of Forlì. After briefly discussing the Apple, the three made their way back to the city, only to find that it had been invaded by the Orsi brothers; Checco and Ludovico.
Fighting their way to the city's locked gates, Ezio managed to find another way inside, and opened the the gates; and the group continued their way to the citadel. Reaching the Rocca di Ravaldino, they found out that two of Caterina’s children – Ottaviano and Bianca – were still missing, and in the hands of the Orsi brothers, who had recently arrived and begun attacking the Citadel. Repelling the attack, Ezio left the Apple in the hands of Caterina, before making his way to rescue her two children.


A blacking-out Ezio glimpses Savonarola
Making his way into Romagna, Ezio overpowered the guard detail assigned to imprison Bianca, who directed Ezio to her brother Ottaviano. As Bianca fled back to the city Ezio made his way the the lighthouse upon which Ottaviano was being held by Ludovico himself. Climbing the tower, Ezio dispatched the Orsi brother, and liberated Ottaviano; though not before learning that the distraction of the captured siblings had allowed the brothers to steal the Apple. Ezio swiftly tracked down and killed Checco Orsi and his remaining men. Retrieving the Apple, Ezio failed to notice that Checco had stabbed him in the abdomen. Injured, Ezio collapsed to the floor, the Apple rolling from his hand. Before losing consciousness Ezio saw a monk with a missing finger pick up the Apple and walk away, despite Ezio's warnings against doing so.
Caterina’s guards later found Ezio next to Checco’s corpse and returned him to Forli, where Caterina nursed the assassin back to health. Returned to his senses, Ezio hurridly explained to Caterina that the Apple had been stolen from him by a man in black, who Sforza recognised to be a monk's robes; she told him to search for the monk at the church outside the city walls. There was no sign of the monk, but Ezio met with Brother O’Callahan, who told him to search for the monk at San Vincenzo, in central Forlì. An abbot there identified Ezio as the killer of Stefano de Bagnone and ran away, but was intercepted, and, once convinced he was not about to die, the abbot gave Ezio the name of the four fingered monk; Girolamo Savonarola.
Ezio hurriedly made his way to Florence, where Savonarola had been headed.
[edit]Spanish Inquisition


Ezio with Luis, Raphael, and Christoffa
While trying to locate Savonarola, he was told by a Thief to meet Antonio at the Thieves' Guild in Venice. After coming there, Ezio found Antonio accompanied by another man, Luis Santangel. Luis was looking for a good "killer" who could oversee a meeting. Luis needed Ezio to oversee a meeting involving Luis' friend Christoffa Corombo, but Ezio expressed no interest. However, when he heard that Rodrigo Borgia was involved in the meeting, he rushed to Christoffa's location, finding out that it was indeed a trap. However, Christoffa was successfully saved by Ezio, and Christoffa explained that Rodrigo was interested in Christoffa’s plans to sail west. Soon afterwards, he met with Antonio again, who told him to go see both Luis and Christoffa in the gardens district.
They then told him that the Templars were in possession of Christoffa's atlas, which featured the journey's route. Ezio quickly recovered the atlas and brought it back to Christoffa and Luis. Luis enlightened Ezio of the presence of Spanish Assassins, who were held captive by the Spanish Inquisitor General, Tomas Torquemada. Thinking it to be his mission to rescue them, Ezio put a halt to his task to reobtain the Apple of Eden and set out to Spain, but not before Antonio gave him the names of two of his contacts.
After arriving in Spain, he immediatly went on to look for one of the contacts. When he arrived at the location, he met a man who called himself Raphael Sanchez, and soon after revealed himself to be an Assassin. He informed Ezio of the first captured Assassin's location, and Ezio rushed to save him. Right before the Assassin could be burned by the Inquisitors, Ezio killed all the guards and untied the Assassin.
After returning to Raphael, he revealed that it was Gaspard Martinez who was ordered to capture the Assassins by Torquemada. Ezio went to Gaspard's location, and found both the latter, Torquemada and a guard surrounding a captured Assassin. Torquemada revealed to the captured Assassin, and indirectly to Ezio, that he was told by Rodrigo Borgia to capture Assassins in Spain, because they were "non-believers" [to the Catholic religion]. After the guard killed the Assassin, the group disbanded and Gaspard became unguarded. Ezio then met with Gaspard and asked him what he knew of the Templars, though Gaspard said he knew nothing of them and said that they "went away two centuries ago". Gaspard fell silently to Ezio's blade, and Ezio acquired a list of names of six other Assassins.
Ezio quickly rushed to the first Assassin's location. After having cut down all guards in his way and around the Assassin, the Assassin was a free man. The two went back to Raphael, and Ezio announced that he had a list with the names of 5 other Assassins. However, these Assassins lived in Zaragoza. Raphael and Ezio left for Zaragoza.
Raphael told Ezio to find the Inquisition's Calficador, Pedro Llorente, whose tribunal met in the far side of town. Arriving there, he found Torquemada there as well. One of the Assassins was held captive by them, and after he refused to convert and confess, was killed. Ezio eavesdropped the conversation and found out that Torquemada was ordered by Rodrigo Borgiato arrest the Assassins.
Ezio rushed towards the remaining five Assassins. Four of them where held captive inside some catacombs. Ezio killed all the guards there and successfully freed the Assassins.
The last of them was held inside a church. Ezio also secured his safety and continued on to Raphael.
[edit]The Bonfire of the Vanities


Ezio overlooking a plaza at Florence
There is no book or teacher to give you the answers, to show you the way. Choose your own way! Do not follow me, or anyone else.
―Ezio after Savanarola's defeat
With Lorenzo de’ Medici dead, Girolamo was able to easily take control over Florence with the Apple of Eden at his command. Girolamo taught the population of Florence that personal property and knowledge made the difference between the rich and the poor. Therefore, he burned everything related to the Renaissance in the Bonfire of the Vanities.
Ezio and Niccolò were there to put a stop to Girolamo’s rule over Florence and went to all the districts to undermine his plans, aided by their two comrades in Firenze: Paola and Volpe. Ezio began eliminating the monk's brainwashed followers while Niccolò, Paola, and Volpe organized a riot in the city. Soon after he killed Savanarola's followers, the rioters formed an angry mob and went to Palazzo Pitti demanding an end to the bonfires. Savanarola tried to use the Apple to quel the rioters, but before he could, Ezio threw a knife at him, knocking the Apple out of his hand. In the chaos of the riot, the Apple was picked up by a guard in service to the Borgia (the Templars had also been trying, without success, to recover the Apple from Savanarola). Ezio took off after him, killed him, and took back the Apple. Savonarola was to be executed in the same way he had done to the city's knowledge: fed to the flames, at the Piazza della Signoria . Yet, Ezio remembered his father and brothers and mercifully decided that no one should die in such agony. The Assassin leaped up onto the execution platform and stabbed Savanarola, ending his agony and his life. Ezio then looked at the stunned mob and gave a speech to them, urging them to follow their own path and rely on their own thoughts, not what they are told by the ones in power. He then leaves with Mario, Niccolò, Paolo, and Volpe ready to find the answers that are hidden within the Apple.
[edit]Battle with Borgia and the Vault


Ezio battles his way to the Sistine Chapel.
I thought... I thought I was beyond this. But I'm not. I've waited too long, lost too much – Requiescat in Pace (Rest in Peace), you bastard!
―Ezio to Rodrigo Borgia during his first, failed assassination attempt.
The following year (1499), the Assassins finally came together once more at the Villa Auditore, with the Piece of Eden and the completed Codex in hand. Using the two objects, they discovered the location of the Vault to be in Rome, specifically, beneath the Vatican. Unfortunately, Rodrigo Borgia had become Pope in 1492, although Mario believed he had only done so to gain access to the Papal Staff, another of the Pieces of Eden. Undeterred, Ezio traveled to Rome with a mission to assassinate Rodrigo Borgia.
Fighting his way along the entire length of the Passetto di Borgo, Ezio snuck into the Sistine Chapel and struck at Borgia from above. About to deal the killing blow, Borgia surprised Ezio by using the Staff to blast him away and drain the energy of those in the room. Ezio, possessing the Apple, was immune from the Staff's effects and the two engaged in a duel. Ezio invoked history by using the same technique Al Mualim utilized in his duel against Altaïr in 1191, by seemingly creating multiple clones with the Apple. Ezio seemingly bested Borgia, but the Pope counterattacked and overcame the Assassin: Borgia took the Apple, stabbed Ezio in the abdomen and left him to die before fleeing into the Vault. However, Ezio's wounds were not mortal and he was able to give pursuit. Outside the Vault, Ezio watched as Borgia tried in vain to open it. Laying down his arms, Ezio challenged and defeated Borgia in a fist fight, obtaining possession of both the Staff and the Apple, but refusing to take Borgia’s life, having realised the futilty of revenge.
Killing you won't bring my family back... I am done.
―Ezio spares Borgia's life, having defeated him.
Entering the Vault, Ezio stood in shock as he was confronted by a hologram-esque individual naming herself "Minerva", and claiming to be one of "Those Who Came Before"; Ezio was further confounded when the hologram sought not to speak to Ezio, but through Ezio, to an unseen figure named Desmond, before leaving abruptly and Ezio with many questions. After returning from Rome, Ezio sealed his Piece of Eden under the statue of Altaïr at the Villa Auditore.
At some point after this event, Ezio made his way to Spain once more, this time to liberate his fellow assassins in the country, who were being persecuted by the Templars under the guise of a religious inquisition.
edit Personality and characteristics



A young Ezio gets approached by a Florentine guard after protesting at his father’s and brothers’ execution.
Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito. Requiescat in Pace.
―Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Rest in Peace.
Ezio was a young Florentine nobleman who lived during the 15th and 16th Century. Unlike his ancestor Altaïr, he was a brought up without knowing of the assassins' existence. A seducer of women and a playful man, Ezio possessed acrobatic skills beyond what most had, save for his brother and father. He came from an affluent background and had many friends until the deaths of his father and brothers drove him out of Florence. Forced to protect his mother and sister, Ezio became an Assassin, exacting revenge on the conspirators who had betrayed his family and plotted to seize both Florence and Venice.
Quick to anger, Ezio often allowed his emotions to overcome him, going so far as to disrespect the corpse of Vieri de' Pazzi just after his death. However, Ezio did manage to gain control of his anger, and by the time he had become a Master Assassin, could control it almost completely.

editEquipment and skills



An older Ezio Double Assassinating 2 guards
Ezio Auditore da Firenze was a highly skilled assassin during the Italian renaissance and a leader amongst the Order of Assassins. A master of multiple fields, including theft, blending, armed and unarmed combat, free-running and long-distance combat; he is able to use a variety of weapons including two hidden blades, the longsword, throwing knives and more. Born with the ability to use Eagle Vision, Ezio could access the ability to instinctively differentiate friend from foe.
An explorer, throughout his quests, Ezio scoured the cities in search of Codex pages and seals from the six assassins tombs spread across northern Italy. Ezio's obtainment of the Codex pages allowed Leonardo di Vinci to upgrade his weaponry, including the addition of a wrist gauntlet, wheel lock firearm concealed beneath his left hidden blade, and a poison needle inside the other.
Through the collection of the six tomb seals, Ezio gained access to the armor created by his ancestor, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Ezio is also a free-runner, possibly taught by his brother Federico, and he uses this often to his advantages against the guards and various other enemies. Also throughout his life he collects capes that help him stay incognito. The only exception to this is the cape with the Auditore family crest on it, which makes the player notorious everywhere.
editRomantic life



Ezio and Cristina kissing in her room.
Ezio was known for his good looks, flirtatious nature and predisposition for womanizing. He is a very attractive character and irresistible to most women. Throughout the course of Assassin's Creed II, Ezio shares romantic relationships of varying degrees with women throughout Italy.
At the beginning of the game, Ezio has a relationship with Cristina Vespucci, a beautiful young Florentine woman. Ignoring Federico's plea to let Cristina rest, Ezio enters the young woman's room via the window and makes love to her. It is the only interaction seen between the two characters in game, but the novel expands their story : When Ezio comes back to Florence after two years, Cristina is married to one of her suitors, Manfredo d'Arzenta, though the two of them still share a love for one another. In 1486, Cristina and Manfredo travel to Venice for the carnival. Ezio writes a letter to her and signs it Manfredo. In the letter, he tells her to come to the Rio Terra degli Ogniscanti. Cristina went there as Ezio was waiting for her. As both wore carnevale masks, she did not recognise him until he kisses her. She then wears off his mask and recognising him, asks him how he dares kiss her like this and tells him she never wants to see him again. When Ezio tried to understand, she explained him that if he really loved her, he wouldn't simply have let Manfredo marry her. Several years later, Girolamo Savonarola's men killed Cristina, deeply wounding Ezio.


Ezio helps Caterina Sforza.
While trying to find a way to Venice, Ezio must first make a stop in Forlì. Ezio cannot initially board the ship to sail to Venice with Leonardo, and it is at that moment he encounters Caterina Sforza. Caterina, trapped on a small island, is screaming for help. She's stranded, has no way back, and is extremely frustrated. Ezio rescues Caterina, and she repays the favor by granting him passage to Venice. She also promises Ezio that the next time he returns to Forli, it would "be her pleasure" to invite him over. Afterward, while sailing for Venice, Ezio says to Leonardo that she is his future conquest and his type of woman. Leonardo then reveals Caterina's identity as the Countess of Forlì, and that seducing her would not be such a good idea as she's a married woman. Ezio probably did not pursue a relationship with her as there is no record of romantic interaction historically or in-game.


Ezio seducing Amelia.
During a genetic memory known as "Horseplay", Ezio encounters a girl named Amelia. During this encounter, Amelia and two of her friends are discussing whether or not there is anyone who could beat their record in a horse-back riding race. Ezio takes on the challenge and, if he wins, will seduce Amelia into a sexual encounter. It should be noted that although this is the only other sexual encounter other than Cristina the player witnesses during the events of the game, the memory is completely optional and can be completely skipped, and ultimately has no effect on the storyline either way.


Rosa faints into Ezio's arms.
When Ezio arrives in Venice for the first time, he is knocked aside and robbed by an unknown young woman. Later the same day, Ezio witnessed the woman and a group of thieves attempt to scale the Palazzo della Seta. The attempt ended in failure and the girl was shot in the leg by an archer. Ezio intervened, defending the woman from Emilio Barbarigo's thugs and helping her to get to safety, learning in the process that her name is Rosa, and that she is a member of the city's thieves guild. At first, Rosa's attitude towards Ezio is very aggressive and unfriendly, but after he saves her, she becomes much more pleasant with him. In the game, Rosa and Ezio are only seen flirting playfully from time to time. In the novel, Rosa and Ezio have a much more intimate relationship.
During Sequence 10, while trying to acquire the Golden Mask, Ezio is seen flirting with many of Sister Teodora's Courtesans. After the CTF Challenge, when Ezio goes up to accept the Golden Mask as his prize for victory, he is accompanied by Courtesan, though it was not uncommon for an unwed man to take courtesans on "dates" during the Renaissance period. After assassinating Marco Barbarigo and seeking sanctuary in the brothel, Ezio is seen flirting with Sister Teodora, who invites several of her girls to "comfort" Ezio.
It is positive that Ezio had many love interests with numerous unnamed Florentine girls and courtesans before the beginning of the game. At the ending of the short film Assassin's Creed: Lineage Ezio is seen seducing an unknown girl, and at the beginning of the game, Ezio says to Vieri de' Pazzi that his sister seemed "quite satisfied with the handling he gave her earlier."

yeah i copied and pasted this from the assassin's creed II wiki ^^

[Bloodshadow]

Er... And your point is...? Please use original characters.

[Purity_Riot]

Xanriel stared in shock as the life he created, twisted though it was, was slaughtered before him. In his perverse mind, he had created life, he had taken nothing, a small amount of blood and made it into millions! This demon  cared nothing for his creation and killed it mercilessly, in a blind rage, he lifted the druidic staff, feeding it all his life energy and bringing him down to his weakened state, a frail shell of what he once was. The staff absorbed the energy and changed, it's haft and head piece changing into a solid stone, a sheen the colour of jade running along it's length. He charged head on, singing a healing hymn, charging it further as the staff grew, the end curving and swirling with the crescendo of his song, forming into a brilliantly curved, jade halberd. He swung wide, bringing the blade in a graceful arc that swun low under the slash of Jonathan's claymore.

He stood in shock, his eyes glazed over as he stared at his blade. Sticking into Jonathan's armour, blood welling up around the blade, was his halberd. It slowly disintegrated, unsummoned and sent back to it's resting place. He watched it piece by piece disappear, until a more shocking sight caught his eye. Sticking deep into his chest, covered in blood and drinking more, was Jonathan's blade. His swing at broken into the armour, but jonathan's had cut clean through him. A metallic tang filled his throat, and he could do nothing but cough, spitting up blood like a child might spit up his lunch. His eyes flickered then closed as he collapsed to the ground in a heap, blood pouring from his chest. He closed his eyes and murmured to himself. "Miracle... I'm coming home..."

[Bloodshadow]

Er... Dude, this is just a spar. Nobody is killing anybody.

And how was I being cruel? Do I need mercy on killing Malignant Cells? I thought they were considered to be vile abominations and they deserved to be killed.

[Purity_Riot]

Patience man, obviously he isn't dead, or thinking straight. Like you said, he's never used aflatoxin before. As far as he's concerned, he created life, like a god, and then you snuffed it out. He's having a bit of a power trip with that thought, don't mind him.

As for the death, Miracle is going to save him, but that'll happen in a little bit. If the angel's wanted him back, they'd have probably tried by now. More to him then just his curse. Building drama and what not.

A blinding white light began to glow from the wound in Xanriel's chest, radiating up his body and enveloping him in a nimbus of light. The intensity of the light grew until each of the party member's had to cover their eyes, or risk being blinded. Appearing from the heavens, Miracle reached down and lifted Xanriel, speaking coming, soothing words to him as his body repaired itself.
"Not yet, my son, not yet."
Standing him up straight, Miracle laid his powerful touch upon the angel's wounds, healing his body and his soul. As the light began to fade, Miracle turned to Jonathan, giving him a small amount of healing to seal his wounds, before ascending, returning once more to the heavens.

As the light faded and became tolerable, Xanriel was left standing, wobbly on his feet, but alive. Though he did not have any of his radiance and glory, his mortality still evident in his form, he no longer held his sickly palor, looking as fresh and healthy as any young man, though only his sickness had been lifted, he looked as though years of life had been stripped from him, appearing now as a mere twenty five years old.

[Bloodshadow]

Jonathan stared at Xanriel, who now resembled a young man. And he had just seen Miracle, the False God of Light! It was lucky that Miracle did not kill him on sight, him being a servant of Incarnate and all...

Despite the healing Miracle had given him, Jonathan reverted back to his human form, and collapsed to the floor. Using his demonic form always had a toll on his body, especially after using powerful attacks such as Rain of Blood and Soul Harvest. He couldn't even imagine what sort of fatigue will await him if he enters his True Form... [spoiler: true form?!]

"Even Miracle could not remove my curse of mortality from me..." Xanriel murmured.

Jonathan pondered. Miracle was said to have the greatest healing powers of all. If even he couldn't remove Xanriel's curse... That must mean that his curse was given to him by another False God. From Jonathan's guesses, they would be Chaos Lord and Morte. Heh, good. Jonathan had a few scores to settle with the False God of Death, who ruled the false vampires and the undead.

Now is the part where we were attacked by a Crimson Dragon who ninja'd out of nowhere, and were saved by Zanthos. Then, Zanthos spars with Heimdall.

[icybraker]

OOC: Yeah, im not much of a fan of paragraph battling either, it can get way too complicated and too long. So do me and Terro just sit and watch for awhile or something?

You guys can rematch if you're really interested. In paragraph form.

Heimdall readied his mind as the elf effortlessly slayed the Cockatrice. Then, just as he had expected, Zanthos let fly a volley of arrows at him. However, they were not as perfectly aimed as before, and Heimdall knew that they were merely a distraction tactic. He whirled to the left, dodging most of the arrows, and with a strong psychic wave in front of him, he had stopped 2 of the arrows from reaching his body. However, as he looked back at the elf after the assault of arrows, Zanthos was merely meters from him. God, he's fast, thought Heimdall, as he raised both elbow blades, expecting a physical blow.

The physical blow came in the form of a small but wickedly sharp knife that appeared to have a sort of glistening green sap on it. Heimdall was fast enough to block the attempted stab, and the elf immediately retreated backwards very rapidly. As Heimdall prepared his next attack, he glanced down at his elbow blades. Apparently, some of the glistening sap had dripped down onto them, and as he watched in horror, they twisted, flaked, and crumpled into small pieces of chitin before his very eyes.

A Ulitharid's chitinous blades did not feel pain, but Heimdall knew he had lost two of his most powerful physical weapons. It would require special salves to regrow his blades and undo the damage that the strange poison had done. Heimdall's eyes flashed with fury as he spotted two small trees next to him. They were very small trees, about as thick as his wrist and about six feet tall. Summoning the powerful psychokinetic force within him, he uprooted both of them and hurtled them like javelins at the elf.

Zanthos looked into the sky in horror as two small trees were launched toward him. Though small, they were still at least six feet tall and undoubtedly weighed quite a bit. Zanthos knew he would be badly hurt it one of them landed on him. This thinking all occurred in a split second, as his instincts activated by themselves. He dived out from under the trees, landing on his dagger. As he does, the deadly sap wipes off on the grass, the poison seeping into the ground, killing the grass, and making that section of land be barren of life forever. Now, the once deadly blade is just a small dagger, like any other one off the street. The plant from which the sap was collected is very rare, and takes days to find. Zanthos lets his wrath consume him as he purposefully thinks about the ignorant Elvish Council to fuel his rage. Powered by all his rage, Zanthos stands and lets loose continuous arrows in a upwards direction, calculated to come down upon Heimdall with deadly accuracy and power. As he continues this, he is all the while advancing towards the Ulitharid. Once at point blank range, he fires all his remaining arrows straight at Heimdall with as much power as he can muster, added to by his burning storm of anger. Knowing he has no arrows left, he takes out his dagger and charges the remaining 10 meters between him and Heimdall, moving at almost the speed of light as his fury fuels him. He begins to slash and stab and try to injure the Ulitharid as mush as possible, aiming at the head and body of his foe. These strikes coincide with his arrows falling upon Heimdall from above. All Zanthos is thinking about is his rage, and though he did originally plan this as a final assault, now his rage consumes him, now he is just all-out attacking with no reason, and now he doesn't care for the Ulitahrid's safety at all.

[Terroking]

OOC: Methinks Dorfl should jump in and stop the two from killing each other without a god to bring them back to life, no?
