Nicknames: Tora / The Silent Prince / El Príncipe de la Rosa ((The Prince of the Rose))
Gaia Name: SoraNyguen
Age: 15
Personality: Wise, and somewhat anti-social; a pessimistic yet precociously intelligent 15-year-old who recognizes and detests the absurdities (both obvious and perceived) of the society in which he lives. A self-described revolutionary, his cynicism touches on subjects such as politics, religion, the media, businesses and corporations, and World-Wide culture
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Height: 5"6'
Appearance: Though he may be a tad bit short, he'll grow later... Blue hair that wildly flow, with pure white porcelain skin that makes him look like a doll. Sapphire eyes that matches with his earrings. He would usually wear something sophisticated, like a white button-up shirt that is covered up by a dark vest and a tie, along with jeans and loafers.

((If it's too difficult to image him here's an image of him: Click here!!!))

Ability: Superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and agility; years of fencing made him one of the top swordmasters in the planet. Raphael is a fencer who wields a sabre. His fighting style predominantly accommodates thrusting and slashing attacks, which he specialises in. Raphael is a relatively fast character in terms of speed of attacks, and as an added bonus many of his thrusting attacks have an in-built evasion in which Raphael arches his back and swivels to the side.

Raphael has a reasonable number of low attacks in his arsenal, most of which deal moderate damage and are hard to guard on reaction. Raphael's throw attacks have a noted long range, and are hard to avoid. Superficially, Raphael gives the impression of a very neat and technically correct swordsman in combat.

If learned to be instead of being a fast winning fighter, but a very defensive fighter, he is able to last for an extremely long time aganist opponents, making him one of the fighters, in able to run out the clock with "blocking" attacks allowing his allies to escape, recouperate, reinforcements, etc. This can be very nerve racking for many of his enemies, not to mention annoying.

He also has the ability towards sensory manipulation. He can boost his own senses and reduce the senses of others to near-uselessness; it wouldn't be much of a deal, if he didn't perfected it to the point where he can manipulate to the point in believing that he moves faster than the speed of light; in other words, hypnosis and a mix of reflex makes them believe that he is able to bend time itself. Shown to be a skilled martial artist, Sorel demonstrates on various occasions an ability with the use of hand to hand combat, that far surpasses the expected capabilities of a fifteen-year-old.

Likes: He loves roses, reminding him of his deceased mother. He also loves music and dancing; the style of dance he knows are tango, samba and even rumba. He plays the guitar and also the saxaphone, sometimes he would play the cello as his mother had played.

Dislikes: Idiots

History: Raphael was raised in poverty; it was worse when his foster father passed away. He and his mother lived in a life of difficulties in Spain, not being able to live a life with what most people could have, but in his childhood life she showed him no weakness of her and gave him all what he could enjoy with, music, dancing and even the old traditions of fencing passed down by generation of the Sorel family.

Later when he entered middle school, Raphael excelled through many classes and was labeled as 'the smart kid from the slums'; but sadly, he was bullied for his poverty and his looks. It went out of hand when one of the kids teased him about his family, and even went far to take his father's deck, Raphael mercilessly beaten him to the ground.

Due to this, Raphael was expelled for 'corporal violence'. This made him live with his mother live for the remainder of his childhood, and even though it was a harsh life without the help of school or his foster father, he and his mother soon opened a dance school in Spain, but it wasn't enough; soon debt began to pile up, and Raphael was forced to kill in order to earn money.

It was alright, until one day his mother was raped, but never had she even crossed the thought of abortion, so Raphael and his mother were expecting themselves a younger sibling...but that was not the case. They did not have enough money to send her to the hospital, so she held her pregnancy for 20 months through sheer willpower in order to earn enough money for labor; but at the cost of killing her from exhaustion...to make matter's worse, the baby didn't survive the birth, choking on it's placental chord.

After cremating his mother's body in the same beach that he was founded at, Raphael closed down the dance school, and used the money to go to Japan, where he is attending to another school.

Fun Facts: He views his father as a coward, and doesn't view his real mother as a true one; instead he abandoned his name and took his foster mother's last name; humbled for her sacrifice.

He can bake pretty much anything...
