Description

Anemone is a broody recluse with sociopathic traits (though he can empathize, has a handle on his impulses, is not reckless, and is not reckless with whom he channels his aggression against) and likes to be alone. Ever since his parents' passing (more on that later) he has lived on the property of their small family farm. He loved them very dearly and buried them where his mother had been wanting to plant a flower garden, but was never able to.

As a gift, Cayden helped plant an array of enchanted flowers (Twilight Blooms), which would be in bloom no matter the season. Later, Elkan made and sent him a large, bare tree carved from marble, big enough for his favorite form (which would influence his Itsu form) to curl around.

He met Cayden after being the captive of his realms Dr. Animo, who wanted to see if he could make Anemone think he was an animal. He chose at random a lizard-like form on the omnitrix, gave Anemone a mind-altering drug for an extended period of time, and watched the effects. Cayden heard of it shortly after Maf's underlings caught Animo, and Cayden worked to undo the effects of spending a month as a single form. He wrote a book about it for Elkan and a report/warning to post around the Wreck. It became a famous case, and the first documented instance of what would soon be called Swapped Instinct. Anemome asked to stay anonymous prior to publishing.

While he has recovered in part, he prefers to remain in that form. Eventually, Cayden had his omnitrix altered so that he couldn't lock his forms, nor be in one form for too many times per day. After he ascended, rebirthed as an Omnitsu, he took to being in that form whenever possible, very glad that the base of his new form was of the previous lizard.

He ascended just before the second Reckoning. He hadn't participated in the first, as neither Eon nor anyone else knew that he and his parents had moved to the country years before (after an incident in which he snapped and beat the ever loving sky out of a particular bully, using both mana and his knuckles as weapons), but he hadn't a choice in participating in the second.

He was confused, but quickly moved to act; keeping to the shadows and avoiding most confrontation. He picked an area high enough so that neither the living or dead were likely to bother him, and wiped out groups to have come too close to his territory for supplies. During this time, he discovered he had a knack for assassination (something he would later prove after tracking down Animo).

When the Reckoning was over, Cayden tracked him down and took him home (as well as several others, who were either candidates for ascension or already had). Once returned, however, he discovered that his home had been attacked during his absence, and that his parents were dead.

Eventually, he got around to asking Cayden about a job opportunity as an assassin. Cayden had posters made in places where low lives and rogues frequent (most of whom are other alternates) and tells Anemone when someone contacts him about it. Anemone isn't a sadist, but he will kill where, how, and when depending on what his client asks. On occasion, a client tries to kill him off, but that person always ends up in Ashfall's meat locker by the end of the encounter.

After Blaz ascends, he becomes Anemone's partner, and they become nearly the duality of each other in that one is impulsive and reckless, the other cautious and cunning. Neither have any qualm over death or killing, and the two actually rough each other up quite a bit in training and brawls, to the point that they're no longer allowed to brawl all out unless they have a medic there to heal them. Blaz goes between living with Anemone and living at Ashfall.

Anemone kills using various methods, including poison, sabotage, throat-slitting, and even more torturous methods. He favors poison and a quick and easy knife to the jugular, but he will do other things if the extra fee is payed and he is asked to do as s

He doesn't do anything with the money. He is one of Ashfall's financial backers. To explain this by a sociologist's standpoint, he accepts the goal of the work, but not the goal of money. He just wants something to do to help keep the boredom away (the boredom is one of his ASPD traits) and he wants to help Cayden and the Strings.

He is vengeful, too. This is one of the reasons he is so loyal to Cayden; he knows Cayden is trying to discover, prove, and bring to justice, whomever caused the second Reckoning. He wants justice because, if he hadn't been teleported to the battle zone, his parents wouldn't have been killed. He's also loyal for other reasons, such as for making him an Itsu, healing his mind, giving him access to the culture of the Anodites/Mana Walkers, protecting him (see the next paragraph), and giving him what he needed to become an assassin.

That brings to mind one more thing about Anemone; he hates other alternates. His first introduction to other versions of himself and stand-ins for himself was when he was saved, then tossed aside, after Animo had his fun with him. Then, thinking he was defective (they thought he was insane because of his Swapped Instinct) they tried to replace him with another alternate. Cayden at first tried to convince the council that Anemone was sane and able, then, when he was ignored, killed the truly sociopathic alternate who had been the replacement.

His next run in with alternates was at the Second Reckoning, in which people were constantly fighting and trying to kill each other with either no reason, or with pointless reasons.

Because of these interactions, he is cold to most other alternates and hesitant to the ones Cayden introduced him to (including Blaz, at first).

Side note I forgot to mention earlier: he's a Sparker, makes mana flowers, and-unlike most other Soarkers-doesn't bother trying to hide the glow of his pupils, leaving his gaze unsettling to most others.
