Personality Apollo is a nice guy, he's just a little misunderstood because of his reckless attitude. He loves the thrill of a good fight and will take on any opponent. He has never been interested in a girl, his passion has always been fighting, plus he just never met the right girl. He isn't afraid to kill someone and always holds back at first to test his opponents skill and search for a weakness. The only times he is fully serious is when he wants to end a fight quickly because something depends on it. He has a gentle side to him, but he doesn't show it alot. And he's not afraid to face a woman. Sometimes he thinks they are more of a challenge to fight than men.
History Apollo grew up on a continent far away from Dragonia. It was against the rules to fight in the land he came from. And these rules were reinforced, because if you fought, you'd be sent off on a boat to wander the ocean aimlessly. The Bisutto thought that their land was the only land out there. But they were wrong.
Apollo was the son of the leader of the continent. But there was something about Apolllo, he always had an urge to fight. His parents tried many ways to get rid of his urge, but nothing seemed to work. Apollo one day got wind of a secret fight club. He started to become the goody good his parents wanted, but was secretly fighting in the underground fight club. He started out with a few losses. But he worked his way up. When he faced the champion, a tall, bulkish man, all odds were against him winning.
(Flashback)
Spoiler:
Apollo was tall, but this man was 6'9" tall. Apollo smile as he looked up at the man. "Apollo Tanimoto versus... the champion... Tashibosu Mandurie!" said the announcer. The crowd of fighters broke out in a roaring cheer. They were yelling 'Man! Du! Ri!' over and over again. Occasionally you could hear something like 'kill him!' or 'squash that shrimp! Show'em who's boss!' Though Apollo just stood there smiling as Mandurie pumped his fists into the air for the crowd.
"Begin!" yelled the announcer.
Mandurie looked at Apollo and charged toward him with his fist raised in the air. He swung down hard, going for his famous one hit K.O. But Apollo simply spun, sidestpping the punch, and used the momentum from his spin, Mandurie's momentum, and his weight to send an elbow straight into Mandurie's face. But Apollo didn't stop there. He quickly slid his arm around Mandurie's head and jumped, grabbing his head with both hands and slamming his knee into his head while yelling, "Yamazuki!" Apollo then pushed off of Mandurie's chest and jumped back. This all happened as Mandurie fell forward. Apollo landed on the ground just as Mandurie hit the ground, sliding forward, and stopping right in front of Apollo.
The crowd went silent as Mandurie was still, though Apollo didn't lower his guard. (look at appearance for his stance) The crowd cheered as they saw Mandurie's arm move. He was able to shakily push himself to his feet, but a thick river of blood poured from his nose and he spat bloody teeth from his mouth. "Damn you..." he murmered as he charged Apollo. "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!" said Mandurie as he went for a series of punches at Apollo.
Apollo ducked but then was caught by a sudden roudhouse kick to his side. Apollo went flying into the metal wall that surrounded the pit they were in. Apollo slowly slid up onto his feet, holding his left arm. He could feel it in pain, but it wasn't broken or sprung. "You sure can take a hit," said Mandurie as he stood up straight.
Apollo brushed his nose with his thumb and smiled. "So can you. But I wonder who will last longer, me or you," said Apollo. Apollo took off at Mandurie and raised his fist for a punch. Mandurie crossed his arms as he put up a guard, but instead of punching, Apollo slid under his open legs and closelined his legs, knocking them out from under him.
Apollo slid to a stop and jumped into the air as Mandurie caught himself. As soon as he began to push himself up, Apollo crashed down onto his head, slamming it against the metal ground. Blood began to pool out around him, but he still didn't seem to be down.
Mandurie snarled angrily and rose to one knee. "Damn it boy... I won't let you beat me!" he roared. As soon as he stood up, his guard was relaxed and Apollo took the chance for the finishing blow. He put all his strength behind a right handed uppercut that landed straight dab under the rubs. The force was so much that cracks came from the lower ribs and the punch dug in deep.
They seemed to be frozen in that position for a moment, then blood splattered from Mandurie's mouth and he slid off of Apollo's fist and to the ground. His eyes were blank, Apollo had killed him with the final blow, but that's what happened there. It was either forfeigt or die.
The crowd was shocked, and then they cheered as the announcer announced the winner. Everyone cheered for excitement. All except two people. A kid staring at Apollo, and Apollo who was staring at the kid. The kid was Mandurie's younger brother. And that's when everything changed...
(End Flashback)
Mandurie's younger brother had informed the leader and the enforcement warriors about the fight club and his brothers death. Word got back to Apollo from a friend of his and he knew it was time to leave. His friend told him about the other fighters who were going to stow away on a boat that was traveling out to some place that was recently found called Dragonia.
Apollo headed their immediately and traveled with the other fighters. When they arrived, they all dispersed. Some joined the arm guard, others became mercenaries. Apollo stayed by himself and honed his skills till he was ready to get back out and fight this new world.
