character info,
[/color][/font]PERSONALITY, Niggredo is usually very quiet due to the fact that he is shy around people. Always the follower and not the leader he would listen tot hem and never really fight back. There are times where he would give out small suggestions but that's as much as one really gets from the boy unless they are willing to encourage him that is which one would get everything that is fully on his mind if he trusts the person to a good extent.
Very fond of animals, he can't help but pet a dog. Usually though he tries to hide this side of him because his parents consider it to be childish, especially in front of others. He was taught to have self control but that's only when he is around his parents. He secretly has a pet dove that he would take care of whenever he can. Whenever he is sad, he would go over to pet with his dove and sometimes talk to it. It's easier for him to be open to animals than it is for him to be open to humans due to the fact that animals can't judge him.
Very insecure, he constantly criticizes himself on pretty much everything that he does. Never happy with what he has accomplish, he see faults in everything he makes. He never blame others but always himself due to this face. People also take advantage of him for this as his family would always pin their problems onto him which he simply accepts without fighting back. This gets him to a state of mind that he is worthless. He sees himself as a bother for others and the only good thing about him is that he will take the blame for anything and everything. With all of these doubts, it really makes him a follower rather than a leader. No worse, it makes him a sheep as he would always follow someone mindlessly.
The boy doesn't really have a good sense of direction and so most of the time he gets lost which is why he always carries a map with him. He usually tries to hide this fact from people though as he doesn't want people to worry over him nor does he like it when his parents yell at him about how disappointed they are in him.
Kind of a yes-man, he always tries to please people rather than speaking his mind. He would always choose his words carefully and watch for any kind of signs. Always polite and formal, he addressees them the way businessmen would address each other. When it comes to arguments between two people he would always stay neutral so it's best not to ask him who is right or wrong, at least not when the person you're arguing with is in the same room and in ear shot.
Studious, Niggredo doesn't really take that many breaks. Instead he would stay awake for days on end or until he passes out to finish something. He really hates letting other people down and he wants the knightmare pilots to stay alive. Although because of this, he would at times lock himself down in the basement corridor just to finish some miner tune ups. He is studious though to the point where he would skip school as well.
The male is not really good at balancing his life between school and work. He would usually always be on work and never get any free time because he would have to catch up on school. It makes it really hard for him to have a good education. Even more though is that it's hard for him to take a break and so he would always exhaust himself which is why his body is quite weak due to lack of rest. It also makes it hard for him to make friends with those who are in his school due to the fact that he is rarely ever around. Some even question why he goes to school.
APPEARANCE, Niggredo is quite short as he is only 5"2. Short black hair that only reaches to his neck on the back. Bangs reaching halfway down his cheeks, it is rarely ever in the way of his emerald green eyes. Most of the time the eyes appear to be tired and bloodshot as he doesn't get that much sleep. They also appear distant and soft reflecting his personality quite well. His body appearing quite pale and fragile as he rarely ever steps outside of a building.
His clothes like most nobles are fine and complex. He would wear a white dress shirt with black pants. Over the shirt with be a black suit. Clipped onto the suit is a black cape with some red in it. His necktie is usually white but at a party he would wear red.
PERSONAL ITEMS,
A pocket watch: A simple silver pocket watch he wold always keep in his pants. He uses it to keep track of time and sometimes would play around with it when he is nervous. The watch was given to him by his sister who was a knightmare pilot. She was the reason why he wanted to be an engineer. She died in battle though and he kept her memento not knowing the real reason why she died.

history info,
[/color][/font]HISTORY, Niggredo was born in a noble family of Britannia. He was their last child and only son so his parents were quite harsh on his teaching wanting him to be perfect. His older sister on the other hand was kind to him and always talked to him kindly, always encouraging him. His older sister was not like most girls as she was a rebel and never listens to their parents. It's because of this that his parents were always so controlling of him always monitoring what he did.
As a young kid, he was always around his sister whenever he had free time. Like most he went to a private school and learn in Britannia. He was always the quiet kid that sat in the corner who always got good grades. His parents never really let him have friends because they didn't want him to turn out like his sister who was a tomboy. She had always talked about how she was going to pilot her own knightmare one day. The idea of piloting a robot sounded interesting to him but he knew they were used for killing so if one uses it they would kill. Still he wanted to help his sister so he decided to be a developer. He started to read up on what he can on the basic mechanism.
At the age of thirteen the two went to different schools. His sister who was by then twenty went over to train in a knightmare pilot school. He kept on studying on the mechanism and the science behind it. Slowly though his started to become a puppet for their parents and became shy. He would always listen to them and side with them but secretly he would study on how to build knightmares. The two would not reunite until the next year where she came back piloting a Glassglow. He was so proud of her and happy to see her. Although she soon had to leave to go into war against the Eleven Rebels. He went along with her as he urged him to. There he learned that she didn't have her own personal mechanic which worried him but he couldn't do anything as he wasn't licensed. Still she had confidence in him and allowed him to change some parts for her Glassglow. That was a costly mistake as he made a small mistake in the size of one of the parts making the leg not move correctly. She died in battle and he continuously blamed himself for it. He didn't go to her funeral and locked himself in his room with a big case of depression after he told his parents what happened.
His parents worried about him decided to do one thing out of kindness and brought in a psychologist who was his uncle. His uncle was able to slowly make his mind forget the reason why his sister died and stated that she died in battle. The method was quite harsh though as the boy had to be hurt both physically and mentally as the memories enter the very recessive part of his mind. Forever locked away he never got to learn the whole truth. The government never learned who tuned the Glassglow and so it remained a mystery.The family gave him his sister's pocket watch which cheered him up a bit as he stated that he can still feel her warmth on it.For once they let him do what they wanted as they regret never truly supporting their daughter but at the same time they still tried to control him to not be so rash.
Niggredo using his money was able to build an interesting model for a knightmare known as the Beowolf. It was a small model though but many like it. Another of his uncle took the idea and took him under his wings as the two flew to Japan when he became fourteen. The only problem though was that they did not know who should pilot the knightmare. After much research they decided to hand it over to the Knight of Four, David N. Landgraf. Even though the credit was given to his uncle, Niggredo had actually been the one that was behind the blueprints. He was never allowed to touch the knightmare though as the man did not trust him after the incident with his sister. He never told the boy though and simply stated that he was too young for it so he should stick to designing and programing.
