Anything in size=1 font is actually not in his memories at all. He is currently insane from no memories, and seems to only answer to a certain Goddess...
You don't seem like you're from around here, kupo. What's your name, kupo?
He was walking the ways of the spirit realm for a while, which is a barren, lifeless plane. What sweet sorrow. However, to see a being greeting him in such a manner gave him a little bit of the uplifting happiness he has longed for since what seemed like an eon since he died. Looking ahead, he saw the gate, and smiled. So this was his calling? Ok.
"Tony..."
He said this name with a reverence that could not be duplicated by any normal human. Tony, of course, wasn't a normal human. He remembered... he remembered the day he met her...
"Hey! What's your name?"
"I... I don't have one...?"
"*gasp!!* Omigod, we need to fix that! Come on!"
The name she picked, unbeknownst to him at that time, the name of her lover who passed away that he reminded her of so much, would stick with him, reminding him of the one and only day he truly got to spend time with her.
It was then he abandoned his true name, Atticus... He would go by Tony in honor of her, no matter what.
"Tony Dedrian."
Is that what everyone calls you, kupo?
"I've used the moniker Blackfaust, but that name appears to have been stolen by someone else..."
Yes. That name. Tony the Blackfaust, the one who would both create and end the world. His battles had shaped worlds in past lives, but this one, this current life, the here and now... this is where everything that happened to him defined the future of all worlds. He was the one who caused this war... and the one who would have to end it again.
"... Yes."
That's a good boy name, kupo. You are a boy, are you not, kupo?
Tony simply nodded to him.
Apparently, you cannot tell when I am joking, kupo. You must be an old man with no sense of humor, kupo. How old are you, anyway, kupo?
Tony raised an eyebrow. He was a timeless being. He had traversed several lifetimes under different names, but this one... yes.
"I have existed in the world before, and I lived there for a whole three years.... it has been less than a year since I died, so, three years old."
"I don't know."
You are he funniest moogle I have ever seen, kupo. What sort of creature are you?
He looked human. Well, because he was more or less human. He had a heart. Blood ran through his veins. He retained memories, knowledge, learned from his mistakes... even has died.
"I am a spirit. A spirit of Death." he said quietly.
Well of course I can't see you very well, with you standing in the shadows like that. How could I tell what you look like?
Atticus flicked a photo to the Moogle.
"This was taken not too long before I died.."
((Temporary image until I can get a better one on here. Gomen.))

Hmm... Being here you must surely have a past. Can you tell me about it?
"I was born in a world within worlds, where a 'Goddess' resided... My purpose for creation was to usurp the wicked King, and lead the world into salvation and peace. Of course, there were roadblocks along the way... and I'll tell you of them, little one.
"I descended onto the forbidden realm three years ago, being picked up unexpectedly by an old Hunter named Lanku D'Certo. We traveled back to the land of Serentestra, a land under siege by the King, and the very land I was supposed to protect. There, I met the young daughter of the King, Princess Evangeline, who gave me this name, and also became one of my first true friends. Of course, she left when Torenstein fell, to go appeal to her father, but was swiftly executed in the Abyssal Chaos...
"Anara, the leader of the Hunters, gave Lanku and myself the mission to go to the Forbidden Lands and seek out Zitrin, the Lord of the Winds, one of the three Lords of the World which governed peace. She assumed that something had happened to him, since the Forbidden Lands used to be his lands... However, upon arrival, we found an ambush, and were taken to the Abyssal Chaos for swift execution.
"Lanku managed to escape, but, before he could get to me, the King himself took his darkened blade and ran me through, booting me into the Abyssal Chaos to die. But... something curious happened... I woke up sometime afterward, my wounds healed, and, in my confusion, realized that I was out of the Abyssal Chaos, in some cave in the mountain range. Amazed that I had survived, I journeyed out to Zitrin's Palace, which hung in the sky, tethered by three chains in three separate towns on the surface.
"I climbed the chain to the Palace, finding it abandoned, and inhabited by a blind dragon who could sense things by the difference in air pressure due to his constant expulsion of wind from his body... but, after some time, i managed to defeat him, and released Zitrin's palace to allow it to fly across the skies as it used to. The Palace, now freed from the control of the King, floated me back to Serentestra, where I disembarked and met back up with my friends.
"However, this wasn't to last... A being that apparently was created by the King appeared, and battled me for supremacy over the town of Dorith, which was the newest location of the Hunter Base... And lost.
"The type of being he was, he was capable of splitting my soul into remnants, and sent them to the corners of the very world, well out of reach of any normal adventurer... and I slept for a long time.
"Years later, Lanku, Ezekiel Gage (Demon gunslinger), and Eva (Apparent sister of Evangeline), arrived with the remnants of my soul, under pursuit of the being that defeated me. They managed to awaken me in time to find that I had indeed aged, and... as some sort of side effect, I became stronger... And defeated the monster, deciding to face off against the King once and for all...
"Alone, I traveled to the Worldsight tower, and found that the King had been waiting for me there... With a new friend. The Chaos Breaker. The Chaos Breaker is a beast that he created in the Abyssal Chaos, the realm within a realm, and brought to the top of this gargantuan tower to plague the world in Corruption. Being the only one there, I had to fight.
"After a long, intense battle, I managed to banish the Chaos Breaker into the Abyssal Chaos, and tackled the now human King off of the top of the tower, falling the entire length (7 miles, for you Earthlings), and cratering the ground below, thus ending the reign of the King, and, my own life.
"I fell into oblivion, neither alive, nor dead, walking this realm until the time that I am needed again. Which appears to be now."
He looked up to the Gate, now opening.
Atticus cannot remember this.
Then answer this... what kind of person are you really?
Atticus looked at the creature, and sighed. "I'm easy going, I guess. I like to have fun, sporty fun or puzzle fun, uh... I value my friendships above all else, I don't really put up with anything, like a bad attitude, or a disgruntled DRAGON. I find myself amused by violin music, enjoying it's sound, and also love the feel of wind in my hair... I guess that means I'm just a peaceful person, when it comes down to it, though I won't hesitate to kick someone's ass for messing with me."
Atticus, however, didn't mention his soft spot for kids and small animals. It was strange, really, normally, he regarded everything with a sense of apathy and non-caring. But, when it comes to maybe a kitten, or a child in danger, Atticus is right there, ready to defend and help the little one with all of his ability. He shares this same devotion to his friends, and his home, and rarely 'makes friends', though, he doesn't mind having acquaintances. You never know when a large sword or some awesome magic could come in handy, especially when you have access to it via association.
So then, what side do you affiliate with?
Tony looked at the creature before him and frowned slightly. Was he good? Evil? He did usurp the King of Torenstein (multiple times), was labelled as a Tyrant, a God-killer... but, all in all, he believed himself to be an agent of the greater good.
"I fight for Good."
"I fight... for myself."
Every strength is wielded for a reason. What are your dreams and aspirations?
"I honestly don't have any goals, or dreams, other than sealing that bastard back into the Abyssal Chaos." he said grimly, looking at the creature with his light eyes.
"I don't sleep. Therefore, I do not dream."
Though it seems trivial, perhaps you should tell me what you like?
"I like pizza." he said, lying through his teeth. His honest likes? Walking on the beach, long nights under the stars, talking to his friends (which are few and far between), and, of course, sparring in hand to hand combat. But he wasn't about to tell the Moogle this.
Assuming you're telling the truth, then you surely must have dislikes. Do you care to reveal those? "I really don't like nosy people."
Of course, his primary dislike was seeing someone suffer. As antagonistic as he acted, his honor was, above all else, his most beloved trait. He also didn't like heights, to a point, and suffered from seasickness while on boats.
"Buckets. And cheese."
Interesting. Do you acknowledge your weaknesses?
His weaknesses. His weaknesses... yes. Those things.
"Uh... what... well, I guess one of them could be my friends..." Ultimately, his friends were his weakness because he would do anything to help them. Bend over backwards to save them. He even died for them once.
"I have no weaknesses."
Weaknesses are strong when they are acknowledged. I'm sure you have strengths as well...
Tony smirked. So much better, these strengths. "Strong opponents to fight. Adventuring, mastery of new skills... I'm an adaptive fighter."
I never would have guessed, kupo! So, tell me, kupo.. What's the secret password, kupo?
