Personality:
Composed - To begin, Gero is an extremely composed individual. One doesn't obtain a reputation like his own by being reckless and letting things outside their own minds pester them. While his voice isn't the voice of the knight in shining armor and is dreary and monotonous, he's very well-spoken. He acts when he feels the time is right and doesn't dance to the rhythm of others if he doesn't see it yielding a reward. This can make him seem like a man of sage-like patience or a selfish hasty twat.
Dedicated - Gero has dedicated his life to upholding his definition of Justice. His dedication goes beyond just his principle of Justice, but all that he puts his mind to. He's an old-fashion type of guy and isn't one to quit very easily. He doesn't take failure lightly, so while he does know when to count his losses and retreat, he has a hard time doing so and swallowing the pill.
Vengeful - Hell hath no scorn like Gero. The score isn't settled until he's on top and he never forgets the score. To the public, he seems to be an overly dedicated soldier, but behind closed doors, Gero is a very ego-driven person who doesn't tolerate his reputation being tarnished. Not that he cares much for building his reputation a certain way or having a certain image, he just doesn't take well to losing or being humiliated.
Justice - Gero's outlook on Justice is a very unforgiving flavor. While he wouldn't go as far as to feel that a petty pickpocket should be put to death, he sometimes likes to act as a hand of Karma. This gives an all-new meaning to the saying "Karma's a bitch." He can't stand to see wrongdoers go unpunished and feel he enforces the true will of God. As grim as his deeds may be, Gero's justice is Holy Justice.
Warrior - Gero was raised as a fighter and to this day he prides himself as a true warrior. While he is obligated to fight for the Kou as a soldier, he also feels obligated to fight strong opponents as nothing more than a warrior looking to test his might. He loves to fight and prove himself strong and growing and respects people who do the same. This explains why he can be unyielding in battle and feels more at home and at peace on a battlefield than resting in his cabin onboard a ship. He long lost count of the number of lives he has taken, but he proudly claims to be well beyond 10,000. This is odd to many, but Gero doesn't see himself as a murderer, it's just how combat works.

- Description:
| With just a glance one can tell Gero has a hard exterior and doesn't let much pass by him. Though he's taller than average, he's not remotely close to being giant or extremely tall. Nonetheless, he has an imposing presence that seems to weigh down on those who lay their eyes on him or have his eyes freeze on them. It goes beyond looking stern and strict and delves into looking like the personification of the word predator.
Even to his allies and those he swears to protect, Gero's body language and mannerisms communicate that he exists as an untouchable entity or concept, something like a God or shunned angle. While it's not on purpose he naturally stands upright and seems to proctor his surroundings with unforgiving attention to detail.
Gero is an old man with red eyes, a very long white beard, and long eyebrows. There are many scars on his torso and head, the two most prominent being a pair of long scars crossing above his right eye.
He wears a standard black kimono, and drapes his all-white haori over his back instead of actually wearing it. His attire mimics the japan ancestors. He also wears his traditional katana along his hip. |

Role-Play Sample:
- Example:
The calm breeze swept against the old geezer haori as he descends down the dirt path.
Firmly within Gero's hands was a wooden cane that seems to hold him up. The morning mist lingers along the ground as the man follows the path toward the hilltop. This place and these visits became a normal routine for him.
Constantly climbing the hill just to get the topside view of the city, and sunrise. 7:00 am sharp like clockwork Gero finds himself here watching from afar the kingdom that he swore to protect. While at the same amazing at the creation of the world. Time had aged him like fine wine however, upon his reenlisted he has undergone some intense training.
Oddly enough even though he has a toned body he still lacks the power he once holds. Time cripples him much more than one would like. It didn't take long for the old geezer to arrive at the top of the hill.
Looking down Gero smirk only time will tell. Remembering back his former career he was just 41 when he left the army now returning he begins to get stronger.
The result showed that in battle but outside of it Gero act as any other old man would in life.
