Character: Peridot (the Green.)

Planning
Ahh, the satisfaction of creating the perfect plan, down to every little detail. Peridot is wise in scheming-foo and to make matters worse (or better for his team), he enjoys doing it a lot. He loves analyzing and thinking of the most logical outcomes, it is somewhat of a game to him. Every single plan is named (Operation Magic Blowout, Operation Freak Attack, etc) and categorized. He has notes on every battle they fight, everything that might be important about each senshi or villain that he meets to find patterns. He goes to the library to study the local maps so he can find the best points of attack. He has backup plans in case his backup plans go wrong. He plans EVERYTHING that he can, routine is good (Operation Breakfast, Operation Bedtime at 10pm). It is for these reasons that Peridot takes a defeat very badly because it means his PLANS ARE UNDONE how is that possible, and then blames it on everything but himself.

Yahoo Auctions
So simple and a convenient way for him to earn extra money. It would probably be all he did if working at the tabloid press didn't have its perks (such as getting a live feed of the news ahead of everyone). Besides, he actually started selling when someone at work pointed him out that the rock he was carrying around as a paperweight might be worth a lot more than he thought (it was an emerald, which he had pocketed from the ground before coming to earth as a good-luck charm) He enjoys the fact that no one questions where he gets the stones from and that he can do this in near complete anonymity. He posts auctions just a few minutes each morning, and this allows him more than enough money to pay for all his expenses in this world. Plus he can also order really cool things they can't find in Japanese stores! Or a very pretty gothic lolita dress, if Pearl bugs him enough. He's not that hard to crack once you know him enough. (Also for those not not in the know, Yahoo Auctions is BIG in Japan. Ebay gets little business there.)

Super Sentai
The Super Sentai represent everything that Peridot strives to be; strong warriors who are ready for anything to defend their home (and sometimes new homeworld, something he finds kinship with) against the invading chaotic forces. Perfect costumes that never, ever get dirty. Explosions and wide camera angles. He has steadily been upgrading his apartment with more and more Sentai-related items and it does not look like he'll be stopping soon. Mara might find some life-sized cutouts in his Nemesis home if this keeps up.

Taiko Drums
Peridot finds the rhythmic beats calming and has grown up practicing its various forms both for war and pleasure. His father was known in the Black Moon army as one of the best players and he wants to live up to his reputation. When not obsessing about super sentai, work or serving his queen, Peridot can be found practicing his various sets at any time of the day for a few minutes. Many of his plans and schemes come from his Taiko-playing sessions. This is his me time, and it advisable not to interrupt him unless something is very wrong. He's a pro at Taiko Drum Master even if he hates videogames as a general rule.

Note taking
While wireless PCs give Peridot the freedom and ease, he is still much a hands-on man that likes writing down things on dead trees. Peridot loves the smell of paper in the morning. He brings pads of paper with him always. Anything and everything that he thinks might be important for their mission, he jolts down, and he loves doing this, despite that he has an excellent memory and could just write a single report at the end of the day. He then recopies everything on his PC and organizes it all by date and time and yeah, he probably gets all excited thinking about doing it.

Mara should have asked him to be secretary instead.

Restore his family's and the Black Moon Kingdom's honor. This, thankfully, is a goal which can be accomplished by a single thing; the defeat of Chaos. This might not be an easy task, but Peridot will see it through.

To serve Mara without fail, and protect her and his new clan family.

Stop acting like an idiot when he is angry.

To find a girlfriend and be the most romantic guy in the world so he can be the world's best father(tm) a few years later.

Get Yukio Itou's autograph (the first green super sentai) because he is such a nerdish fanboy.

These goals may or may not crash together, causing angst and/or lols.

Excellent memory
Peridot rarely forgets things. His strong points are remembering events with clear detail. He will find his way back because he did it before, but if anything changes (say a new store opened or the street name was changed) then he's in trouble. Objects, actions, what a person did or said are easy. It can become annoying when he starts to quote things you said that you've completely forgotten about.

Attention to Detail
Along with his memory, this a dangerous combination for his foes and friends alike. He was taught to observe everything around him at a young age, and kinda went overboard. He never gets lost once he's been somewhere. Peridot's plans are intricate in nature and try to include as many “chaotic” moments as possible, such as guessing which senshi might show up, the temperature, how everyone is feeling that day, and so on.

Left Handed
While many would see this as flaw, Peridot uses it in surprising manners against his foes who are not expecting jabs from the left. He does lose the element of surprise once he's done it, however. Perdiot buys left handed notebooks, which makes it harder to see what he is writing, a privacy that he enjoys.

Confidence
Peridot knows who he is, what he is doing and what he must be doing. There is very little hestiation in his movements because he's already planned everything and everything will be perfect.

Humble
He knows when a situation is over him, and will not hesitate to ask the opinions of others about his plans or everyday, mundane things. Of course understanding his plans might be a problem.

Family Man
He really cares about his teamates.
Really.
Does.
Care.
Peridot does not want them to die. The are important to him. He will risk tooth and nail to save their lives. Oh sure, he will bitch to them afterwards, but you know deep inside he was completely worried.

Impatient
He does not realize that not everyone is gifted with a great memory. He over-explains his plans to the point of making others confused, and with his speaking speed, makes it even more difficult. He expects them to get it right the first time and gets frustrated when they don't. He is a good listener, but a bad speaker at times.

Clean Freak
He likes his things working in perfect order, and not oily, dusty or filled with mud. Peridot is not so obsessed that he will stop fighting onces he gets mud on his clothing, but he have a personal vendetta towards the person who did (you soiled my honor, now I have to fight you!1! logic) and add it to list of complaints in his report / battle review resume. Granted, there is chaos in the way his apartment is arranged and how he keeps his papers, but everything is clean, he knows exactly where everything is and it is all dust-free. He hates fighting people that smell like they haven't showered for days. Ewww.

Borderline Claustrophobic
He will not be screaming in fear if he's enclosed somewhere, but he hates being stuck in a confined space for too long. He doesn't like the smell of the air inside a small room. Peridot just really feels uncomfortable, and can never shake the feeling off even if he tries. Open windows and doors does help the situation somewhat. He will go inside a room if the situation calls for it and for emergencies, but you can bet that he'll be complaining about it.

Honor-Bound (of lame decisions)
Honor works two ways, and those that don't believe in it can use it against him. Peridot does not back down a fight once someone challenges him to a duel. It causes some unnecessary situations, because he tends to go out of his way and safety for what are sometimes obvious traps. He will even postpone his precious plans for dueling. It gets worst of his entire team is challenged, since Peridot loves his team members so he will usually try to do the deed by himself. He is an idiot that way.

Rodents!
Peridot goes nuts near a simple hamster or mouse. On Nemesis, they where a constant fear in the wild because they where poisonous and could easily kill a man. On earth, they are cute and mostly harmless, but he is still deathly afraid of them.

Bitchy
Yeah, he's an ass about certain things. He will get in your face if you rubbed him the wrong way and he will not give up. He will lecture his teamates about what they did wrong during a mission like they are four years old. He takes his leadership role very earnestly, and expects everyone else to do the same. I mean, he knows when it's time to have fun and when you have to get serious, he expects the others to be the same.

WORDS BAD, ME ANGRY
It's both sad yet hilarious to watch. The more angered Peridot gets, the harder it gets for him to speak eloquently. It starts with small things, then as the battle turns worse he jumbles words, he starts naming his foes wrong, his sentences make no sense, even to his family (He can still cry out his attacks mind you). An example would be: “Crouton Sanchi! You will flail!” (Crisis Seshi, you will fall). It is distracting, to say the least. At the end, there's just a bunch of exasperated cries, “I hate you's alls D: D: D:” and fist shaking. When he is not angry anymore, he can only think back and sigh inwardly.

General Overview
He embraces life, and this is perhaps why he is so dedicated to destroying Chaos, believing that It causes death and destruction wherever It goes. He's not so optimistic that he knows the war will be all rainbows and gumdrops, but will do his best so that the least amount of civilians are killed, something that Mara no doubt appreciates. In fact, he will go out of his way to protect people from the attacks of the Dark Kingdom and the Tai Ceti, should he ever encounter or know about them. He's all for hindering their Chaos-finding progress as a bonus.

Self Image
Peridot is a man who has learned the harsh lessons of life and loosing family to a war. He does not blame anyone else for what has happened or harbor great hate; only that everyone was duped by a force so evil It's very words destroyed countless lives. He wants revenge, but at the same time, realizes that it would be folly to repeat those same mistakes the first Black Moon group did. This is why he obsesses over his plans endlessly; he wants them to be perfect in ever single way. Yet he is still young and lacks the experience that someone twice his age would have. He will make mistakes, but that doesn't mean he can't be harsh on himself and others. Peridot hates to get angry because he gives in too easily and even if he tries not too, it gets the best of him. He hates this, a lot, and it is #1 on the things to improve (Operation: Looking Awesome) about himself.

He is extremely happy at where he is right now and it shows in his mannerisms. After all, it is not every day that you get picked by the princess to be your 2nd in command, especially for someone as young as him. You have to earn it, and continue to prove hat you are the man for the job. He is all smiles, and even when he is serious, there is a mischievous look about him. He wants his family to be proud of him. He wants to be proud of himself. He wants others to take these emotions, let them grow, and be happy themselves. And for those reasons, he is completely over-judging on how he acts. He wants to be perfect. Apart from his anger, which he still has trouble controlling, Peridot will rarely let the other clan members see him displaying what he thinks are negative emotions. He will cry behind closed doors, or scream into a pillow.

Peridot is a military man, used to strict discipline and training. Negative emotions only cloud your judgment. He has refined in the arts of pushing the right buttons to make people do things they otherwise would not. Borderline brainwashing? Perhaps. Neither-the-less, he will bring out the very best fighting spirit you may have, or never knew you had. He makes excellent (but extremely fast paced) speeches to boost clan moral. He will go down fighting to the very bitter end, but with a smile on his lips, pleased to be dying this way. An honorable death is better than a long life of dishonesty.

Just, you know, win that battle. Because if not, all hell breaks loose, and the gloves are off.

Motives
As dorky and Miss Universe as this may sound, Peridot wants world peace. He wants everyone to be holding hands and having fun and being able to go into retirement because military men would only be useful to protect people against dangerous fauna and television entertainment. Deep down, you could say he is a hopeless hippy. If hippies liked fighting for honor and big explosions.

He also wants to preserve his cousin's legacy. While he never met Esmeraude, he does feel a certain kinship with her, and Peridot loves his uncle like his own father. Seeing the man turned into a crying mess after his daughter's loss only made him realize that he didn't want his to happen to anyone else. He wants to continue her path of servitude towards the royal family. Where his cousin faltered, Peridot will rise and finish, to honor her memory.

It goes without saying that honor is a *big thing* for him. It can be twisted at times; honor killings in the name of someone you want to protect. He will use that excuse to justify his soul-stealing in the name Mara (“He was just a thief and killed people! I'm doing something good for Japan and probably saving billions later!”). He is also a chivalrous man; saving pretty ladies (and sometimes men), willing to take his shirt off if someone is too cold, and slapping guys across the face to challenge them to duels are all part of Peridot's agenda. The two sides push and pull at him constantly, confusing him into doing odd actions from time to time.

He likes things being clean. You would think that someone who lived with the military and a hundred men who sweat and run around in mud all day would be more accepting of this, but it might be exactly the reason why he likes being immaculate so much. A troupe that looks too dirty did not inspire others to fight. It goes deeper than that. He wants to fight clean, he enjoys duels because there are very tlittle outside factors which can distract from the battle.

Having a driving point in his life is extremely important. Right now Chaos is quite possibly the best thing he could have asked for because it gives him a clear goal, something worth putting his honor on the line for. He hates waking up and not knowing what he has to do next. Staying somewhere and doing nothing drives him crazy.

Mara is his queen and the person who is to be listened without hesitation. Even thinking about questioning her will tear a piece of Peridot's own soul, thinking he's somehow betraying her. This will cause problems later on. The rest of the clan is his family; he must protect them, even from themselves if need be. As a leader he needs to know best and even if he doesn't, he has to pretend he does. Honor my authority.

He understand that this war might take a very long time to finish, and he is more than ready for this. He does push towards the more chaos-filled souls route. Find criminals who have harmed innocent people and take their souls, ending their life and, in his own twisted way of seeing things, redeeming them and their honor by using their energy to awaken Chaos to kill It. Morally gray perhaps, but completely justified to him.

Because all three females he has the highest respect for either ended up with dead family members or dead themselves, he feels the need to protect anyone of the fairer sex against similar tragedies. He will not harm women unless it is absolutely necessary and even then will say “forgive me” or something of the like. This is one of the many reasons he blames on creating his sentai alter-ego, which is, in Peridot's train of thought, the perfect gentleman for earth's modern civilization.

TV has rotted his brain.

Team Interaction
Peridot makes sure to keep a cool head and listens to what everyone has to say, even if he may disagree with them. He may sound like an ass, but he knows how to get things done. However he does have a pleasant, smiling business demeanor, despite bitchiness that might come after a battle. Call it tough fatherly love. He welcomes his fellow clan members and makes sure to remind them how much they are important to the war, while at the same time, making sure they know that they have to listen to him. He will get into shooting matches if need be, and smack some sense into his own teammates, but he will never loose his cool, at least not in public.

He flirts with all of the girls because Peridot has wanted to kiss a girl since he started puberty and even wrote a plan about to to do this (Operation Love and Fluff) but since that didn't work, he is feeling a ton of self-imposed pressure to at least get a girl to like him (Operation First Kiss). He does it to his own team in a much more teasing fashion (and sometimes Pearl just to annoy him). He is not afraid to tell someone when things aggravate him. In fact, he will drive the point home. He swears a lot (mostly due to habit), but deep down, you know that Peridot cares very much about them, to the point that he'd willingly die first to save his friends.

Peridot also loves to have fun and relax, WHEN the time is right. It's almost like night and day between “Peridot the serious military strategist” and “Peridot is having fun on the beach in his speedo”. He will do his best to make sure everyone is relaxed but ready to do battle the next day. He will make up plans even then, but will back down if his teammates think he's overdoing it (Operation: Relax and Mellow)

The Short of it
Wants to save the world, smiling dork who tries to keep a balance between the silly and professional. Is friendly and talkative, but a dick when things do not go the way he wants them to be. Morally conflicted and makes excuses so he sounds like he's doing the right thing anyway.

Face
Pretty almond-shaped light olive eyes that are highlighted with thin eyelashes but thicker, dark emerald green brows. He is pale (thanks to living on Nemesis), getting horrible sunburns if he does not wear sunscreen. His face is oval shaped, and Peridot's ears stick out a little more than most (so not Prince Charles bad). Perfectly sickening white teeth that would probably sparkle every time he smiled if this was an anime. His facial hair is always shaved perfectly except for his pinch which he keeps neat and trimmed.

Hair
Incredibly thick and emerald green, it comes out in clumped spikes from his head. This is somehow completely natural and does not involve any gel (which is good because he would shave it instead). Peridot's hair reaches a little lower than his ears. He also has sideburns, but you can barely seem them in the forest of greenish mass. He enjoys the fact that his hair requires very little maintenance, just a good shampoo.

Build
Having been following the military all his life, Peridot is much more muscular than his fellow clan members. He does not have huge bulging muscles because of his Nemesis(ian?) genes, but is well-toned and is much stronger for that you might think of him. He is incredibly tall thanks to his bloodline (Esmeraude was taller than both of the princes), standing at six feet and three inches. Due to his strict cleaning habits (and also because he is a pretty boy), Peridot's skin is baby silky smooth, and smells the same way. He has very little chest hair and no scars whatsoever. What he does have are twin dark green inked tattoos of his symbol etched on his back to resemble wings. This was done on a drunken bet when he was 17 years old (ahh army life), but he likes them anyway.

Voice
Peridot speaks in in a heroic tenor fashion (Tenore drammatico), which is incredibly powerful and can reach out even the farthest corners of a room. He speaks in a military regal way, that is to say that he sounds noble-like thanks to his mother, but will sometimes sneak in the more cruder words that he heard from his father's regiment. So he swears a lot without really noticing it because it sounds normal to him. He also borrows a lot of military expressions for simple, everyday things, which can confuse those around him. An example would be “I'm going to go kill myself for a few hours, make sure I don't stay dead.” which would mean “I'm going to go take a nap, make sure nothing hurts me.”

When he gets angry and he starts to mix his words, his voice lowers and may even rumble. Which would be frightening, if not for the whole mixing his words part. His accent in Japanese is very noticeable, which is why he hides behind a fake returning exchange student identity so no one would really question it. He can just pretend his Japanese got rusty. Which does mean he gets constantly showered about how great Japan is by the others. OI.

You know when Peridot is happy about something because he starts talk without pause or much breath for entire minutes at a time. You can keep up with him and understand everything despite the speed, but it becomes really annoying. (He is exactly like the Micro machines commercial guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlRgbU3ZJ5g )Thankfully, he tries to calm down when it comes to explaining plans, but still speeds if he's not careful. He has to bite his lips in civilian form because he's supposed to be a quiet guy in that persona.

His laugh, is ..something to behold, especially when he is pleased. Let's just say that Esmeraude's laughter was a family trait and leave it at that.

Clothing
Peridot? Wear things?! He runs around naked! :D

:D

...okay no.

He grew up on the simple stuff: A pair of pants, a shirt and some sandals. Everything is always spic and span and smells of fresh wildflowers.

His shirts are mostly white or light green. He has blouses which he wears to work with a black and green stripped tie, but otherwise, he is found in cotton or yarn made tops during the winter. In summer, he likes to put next to nothing on, maybe a white t-shirt, but preferably a bare chest. He puts on sunscreen like crazy.

Peridot's pants come in three colors; light green, dark green and black. He especially loves the cotton ones he wears in the winter because of how comfortable they are. He hates jeans, and worships the almighty plaided slacks. Zippers are alright, but he prefers tied ropes for the old-school feel.

During earth summers, Peridot is always found in shorts, spandex preferably. And the crazier the designs, the better he likes them. Gigantic flowers, stripped lines, chibi cats shooting lasers, he has them. He sometimes forget how cold Nemesis is compared to Tokyo's summers and that they aren't exactly, um, high class material, teleporting only to realize he's just warped in front of Mara's court in his boxers. He will write himself a demerit later.

Peridot hates wearing anything on his feet that cover them completely. It just makes him uneasy, he'd rather go around barefoot than having to wear boots (also boots make his feet sweat which he hates). His feet have a very thick skin on the bottom, as a result of this. He can burn a candle near his soles and won't feel a thing.

During meetings, he looks like a different man, sporting typical aristocrat Nemesis clothing in his family's colors. They smell like he just took them out of the washing machine, which is probably true. He does find them itchy, but they serve their purpose and everyone knows that he's deadly serious when he's wearing them.

He is also not above cosplaying or trying on new things if other teammates pressure him enough. Well, okay, if Mara says he has to.

Peridot's mother, Olivine, was a well-off Marquess born to a family who had been employed as the crown's top political advisers. She had an older brother, who was heir to this position and he already had a child named Esmeraude who would inherit his titles once he died. Because she was out of the heritage loop, Olivine knew she could pretty much do as she pleased. Which is exactly what she did.

Barely eighteen, she ran away from home, right into the forbidden forests of Nemesis. Olivine was a hopeless romantic hoping to find herself a Tarzan who would take her away from mundane life.

She found anything but. Nemesis was a cold, desolate, dangerous place; its forests moreso. Olivine collapsed near a small river as she was attacked by birds and was about to give out one last effort to save herself when a regiment of the Black Moon's army happened to be passing close by. Its leader, a twenty-one year old man by the name of Chrysolite, quickly sprang to her aid by summoning a gigantic lion which chased the birds away violently. Olivine was smitten. Chrysolite, for his part, felt uneasy at Olivine's advances during the next few weeks and the way she tended to appear at the worst moments, but did not hide his enjoyment. Truth was, he had fallen in love with her as well, as much as he didn't like to admit.

Chrysolite was a man who knew his place, and this was the crux of the problem; he was a simple army guy who only rose to power and wasn't born with credentials, and she was a noble. Olivine didn't give two shits because they married anyway and Peridot was born ten months later.

Olivine's parents could not stop her from marrying someone of a lower, obviously much poorer bloodline because she was extremely hard-headed and, as a high-ranking captain, Chrysolite had his supporters, but they did everything they could to make their lives much harder. Their actions caused Olivine and Chrysolite to chose to live a simple life as far away from them as possible. She began to follow her husband on his planetary patrols, their son coming along with them. It was a dangerous lifestyle, but both where happy to raise their son together. Peridot learned magic from his mother and his basic fighting skills from his father. They continued this for sixteen years.

He had no knowledge of his mother's noble bloodline, and his parents gave him no clues. For all he knew, she was a tall, delicate woman who followed the troops, helping them cook and cleaning their clothes (something Peridot grew to love doing, amazingly enough) but had amazing magical powers, which he didn't know where taught only to nobility. He was raised as a group effort; some of Chrysolite's men taught him to read and write, others would show him how to defend himself with his fists or how to burp and swear. Yet it was writing which he loved the most, and began to keep a personal diary which he put in an incredibly amount of detail.

Then one day after returning from combat, Chrysolite told him to follow him into the forest since it was his 16th birthday. It was TIME TO BE A MAN (besides, some guys had started to question him about his son's sexuality, what with all his love of washing, writing and total neatness).That day, Peridot was finally allowed to learn the powerful but limited magic his father knew by birthright and passed down to next of worthy kin – the power to call forth spirit lions to help him in everyday life.

Well, that was the theory. Peridot had been pretty getting good with the spells his mother showed him, but his father's was something far more brutal and streamlined. The lions he could call forth where barely kittens and where mostly biting his feet than doing anything productive. But he knew that one day he could be like his father, and that thought kept him going and he keep at it. This was, perhaps, the first instance where he had a defined goal that would drive his actions. During the next year he relentlessly practiced every day, kept a strict work schedule and managed in a year what most of his ancestors had done in ten. He loved this, his father was very proud (which helped a lot), and grew addicted to planning since it worked so well.

Then, the great war happened. Chrysolite and his team was pulled from their daily patrols across Nemesis to attack the White Moon directly. Because he feared for his wife and son (the latter which he knew would jump at the first chance to be drafted), he had Olivine tell Peridot of his noble blood so they could be somewhere safe. Peridot suddenly found himself in the middle of a court, with people who did not really enjoy the fact that he was there, but at least tolerated him. In a war he did not quite understand completely.

He also learned about his cousin, but, as his new uncle Morganite would say “she was so completely awesome that she has been chosen to accompany the princes to the past so she isn't there to meet you, sorry, but that's okay because she is going to marry one of them and become a queen and rule Nemesis forever and ever and hey! maybe she'll make you into a grand duke and you can marry the princess I hear she's pretty cute”. Peridot liked his uncle because he was nice and happy, very optimistic about the war and spoke really fast like he did. Since his uncle was chief royal strategist, their combined love for planning and analyzing things gave them many things to talk about, but Peridot still had trouble spending his days in small rooms while he knew his dad was kicking ass (or at least he hoped). He longed to do something useful, so he begged his uncle to get him a position as one of his aides.

Normally, a seventeen year old like him would never had been admitted to the war halls, but he had a distinct advantage having lived with the military all his life, and he was a good talker. He knew a lot of hidden parts of Nemesis and his journals and map-making skills made him incredibly helpful despite his age. His uncle was impressed, and he was quickly promoted so he could manage as many teams as possible. This honor only strove Peridot to continue with renewed vigor. He would take entire days drawing up plans with Morganite, (and going to taverns at night to try and find a girlfriend) and half a year passed by very quickly. He was incredibly happy and content with his new job. Their combined skills allowed the Black Moon many victories against the White.

He then got news of his father's grave injury during a raid. He was found nearly dead with a gigantic gash in his left leg. Peridot's world came crashing down, because this was the last thing he had expected. He had not planned for this. He was angry. The White Moon had stolen what was rightfully theirs and nearly killed his father (by now he had been brainwashed into the whole “why are are fighting Serenity, that evil bitch” bullshit Wisemen had fed everyone). Against his parent's wishes, he enrolled in the army, his father screaming to him that this was not what he should be doing and he should try clear his mind before doing anything stupid. Even his uncle tried to warn him off. But at that instant Peridot didn't care about honor or fairness or family or anything for that matter. Just revenge.

By some strange twist of fate, the day he was set to leave was the very same day that Topaz had the clans meet together in an emergency meeting to talk what had really happened while her brothers had been on Earth. Peridot could hardly believe his ears as she told them the sordid tale and the fact they had all been duped by an entity of pure malice. Countless were dead, including his cousin and the two princes. His father could not walk by himself anymore. His uncle became incredibly frail and kept calling out his daughter in a mindless haze. All for what? A lie! He felt completely ashamed at the anger he had felt, the fight with his family, and how he had wanted so dearly to murder innocent people for a fake war, and the ones he helped murder, indirectly.

He had really wanted to meet his cousin...the way his uncle spoke of her proudly, he knew they would get along well. It felt like his goals, his family...both had been swept from under him and now there remained nothing. When Topaz made her intentions to eradicate Chaos, he saw his salvation, and there was not even a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He promised his new queen his undying loyalty until Chaos had been dealt with fully and honor restored to his clan. This was his new goal, and he was ready to face everything for it.

It only took a few meetings between both Topaz and Peridot for her to name him her second in command. He was skilled enough to have gotten the position by himself, but was lucky in that many men were ready to speak of his skills as a war adviser. The fact that his cousin had been in the first outgoing helped to establish his rank. Peridot never forgets this either, and spends time on Nemesis with his uncle, helping him honor her memory, going to her grave every Friday at 10pm sharp (except for excruciating circumstances, like a battle) to pray. Esmeraude's father was such an important part during the latest year of his life that he feels it is only his fair due to them both. Due to Peridot's efforts helping his uncle cope, he is much better and his wife is now expecting. Despite their ages, he knows they will be great parents (and Peridot will be the world's best cousin, he just knows!), and this only makes his drive to eradicate chaos even clearer, as he wants the child to know a world without Chaos or fear.

Peridot is the type of person who thrives in an open-spaced environment. Tokyo has little of that, so he compromised. He rents a very large flat, devoid of a bed, and only has a single chair, a wireless internet router and a drawer to keep his clothing. The rest is covered in papers arranged in neat rows and sentai decorations. He rests on the top of his building at night, sleeping near the stars and to be closer to Nemesis or just teleports home. He earns money by writing real and fake stories in a local tabloid which also allows him to meet people from various walks of life to aid in his research. Plus, he gets the news before everyone, which helps the Black Moon agenda a lot.

He files incredibly detailed reports back to Mara; rumors he has heard, the daily Tokyo news, the clothing fads of the month, anything that he might think would be helpful to her. He does his best to keep tabs on all of the other clan members, which is not always easy, and this annoys him to no end. When he has time off (very rarely) he watches Super Sentai and Puroresu on his PC. The first gave him an idea to help with their crystal searching, despite it sounding incredibly cheesy. All in all, Peridot is very happy with his life, considering everything that has happened.

In fact, he loves it.

Occupation: Peridot earns some of his money as a man named Kouei Irikuchi, in a small but rapidly growing newspaper/tabloid outlet, which, thanks to him, are always the first to break senshi and other incredible news. He also uses it as a way to get information usually not available to the public. However, most of his money comes from the online sales of the gemstones he picks off from Nemesis.

Appearance: Irikuchi is a tall Japanese male who has no real distinguishing features, except said fact that he is tall - six feet three inches to be exact. He has dark brown colored hair, a small goatee, sports of a pair of dorky-looking black-rimmed eye glasses (which serve no purpose but to make him look like an even bigger idiot) and no clan symbol. He wears very unimpressive clothing in public compared to his other compatriots; a simple light green turtleneck shirt and black pants (the shirt is a nod to his love for super sentai, where the heroes would wear clothing that color-matched that of their superhero identities). He slants his back a tiny bit when he walks. Irikuchi always, always, always smells very pleasant, which lingers a few hours even when he leaves. His working space (when he is there) is spotless.

Most importantly, Irikuchi is 25 years old and just came back from graduating abroad. It says so right on his fake passport and cards. He likes the fact that he gets to “play” an older person, which gives him more freedom.

Personality: Irikuchi is known to his comrades as someone who mostly keeps to himself, reading and writing notes in code which barely make sense (it is, actually, a language unique to Nemesis) He coughs a lot (its fake and a perfect way to cover his need to be speaking), and blames it on his delicate nature (ahahaha). When working at the office, Irikuchi twiddles his thumbs and shakes his right leg unconsciously, like he's waiting for something to happen at any moment.

He rarely follows the proper Japanese rules of working, coming and going before his bosses and would probably be fired from work if he did not somehow manage to grab the best scoops around Tokyo. His stories, even his fake ones, are incredibly popular with household wives. His bosses finally relented after a few weeks and he worked out a deal as their “on the field” reporter as long as he could find them news to report on and send it to them via e-mail once a week. This way, they'd save face and keep someone who was obviously an expert at his craft. Irikuchi enjoys this arrangement a lot, even if most of his workforce think he's an eccentric slacker with good luck.

In reality, Peridot just HATED working in an office, it was completely different than the war halls of Nemesis (he thought this was going to be exactly like this), which had gigantic bay windows and really huge rooms, which kept him from spazzing out. Cubicles are his own personal version of hell. He probably would have quit if not for working out a deal with his bosses. But the first few weeks? Yeah, he keeps thinking back and shuddering a lot. Never again.

Still, Irikuchi is a man who is very polite with everyone, addressing with a small bow, yet very modest when congratulated on his skills. He speaks very little, a stark contrast if they knew the real Peridot. In reality, Peridot is just itching to blurt out more, but does his best to keep his cool. He bites his lips a lot.

He does keep his habit of going all out should someone mistreat a women and tends to jump to their aid, something that his male comrades think he is doing just to get chicks (which is true, to a point). The girls think he's adorable and the fact that he barely speaks and mysterious and really tall adds a layer of mystique from him. Still, no one has asked him out to a date yet because he is weird. Look, but don't touch. This does make him sad D:

Okay! Wait, what the hell is this:
Peridot's original plan as Green Sabre Leo was to befriend the Japanese community by creating a mysterious superhero who is REAL instead of being just on television. The plan was to work on the trust of the police force (like Batman) so that they would ask him to do some detective work for them (like Batman) and then he could have used that information to have better access to criminal databases and steal convict souls(not like Batman). It was a good idea on paper, and would probably work in another universe, but this is earth and vigilantes are not always regarded in the highest praise. But hey, spandex!

Here's the additional problem: there are senshi now. The senshi are always there when something really bad is happening and this causes his PERFECT PLANS to come undone. This is annoying, doubly for someone like Peridot. What's worse is, some of those senshi are from the court of the White Moon, which he does not want to harm because of what their princess did to save the Black Moon. It would be completely dishonorable. Yet, this is Peridot we are talking about. His backup plan (Operation Charming Gentleman) is to appear and save the senshi's lives whenever he can so he can gain their trust and get information out of them as well. Plus if no one is looking, he can even nab the seeds of whatever monsters they are fighting and use those to awaken Chaos. Of course this might mean tensions later when he gets so caught up in his own honorable shit (maybe even love, dum dum dum!).

Sentai Appearance:
He is completely covered in dark metallic green spandex from neck to feet, with lite green armor covering his legs, arms and chest. His gloves and shoes have golden claws at the end which can be used for battle if need be (but they are only made of reinforced plastic, thus not very durable). A golden lion's head holds a piece of black cloth around his torso. He has a golden scarf tied to his neck which is about a meter long. His helmet is shaped like a roaring lion with glowing red eyes that ends where his sight visor is. The face is golden and metallic, when he speaks it thought a small microphone which distorts his voice. Yes, he abuses the lion motif like hell because he wants it to be as cheesy as possible.

Unlike his civilian form, he has hair is jet black arranged in a small ponytail should the situation present himself that he had to talk to the ladies without his headgear. He does however keep a green headband tied on his head at all times to hide the black crescent moon, (which he thinks also makes him look badass = BONUS).

Jade Throttle Roar:
A Kawasaki ZXR 1200 which Peridot bought and heavily modified it to become the ride fit for his sentai-secret identity. The motorcycle is kept in a secret garage. He built a lion exoskeleton over it and painted the entire thing metallic green with golden highlights. Oh, and when he drives he tends to raise one arm in the air (sometimes both) because that's what *cool* sentai do. Of course they don't drive into walls either, but that was only the first time he tried using it, he swears!

Attacks:
They are very normal fighting moves, but he likes to scream them out for added effect; “Fierce Fang Punch!”, “Leo Lion Pounce!” “Jade Throttle, Speed On!” “Leo Super Fierce Fang Elbow Cut!” etc. There are many more, as he likes to ad lib pretty much anything he can give a name to. When in Rome...

Posing:
If you think senshi poses before battle are bad, Peridot is somehow worse. When he introduces himself, he moves around in various poses of attack. When he runs, he always puts his hands behind him, his back arced a bit and his head forward. Sometimes it looks like he's simply mocking gravity when he jumps.

He hasn't found a way to make his enemies explode while he's hanging out in the front, but you can be sure he's working on it. With cyanide. And sodium.

Personality:
Green Saber Leo is extremely laid back and charming, and regularly flirts with the women he rescues. He is a knight in shinning spandex and a pastiche of many super sentai. He has never taken off his helmet publicly, but always goes out prepared, just in case. He plays off the charming ladies man angle to its fullest in the hopes that he does not act or talk like either Peridot or Irikuchi to the senshi (of course how the hell they would know who Irikuchi is apart from reading his tabloid works...). So far, they never make the conclusion that they are one and the same, so this does seem to be working.

For now.

Symbol: The alchemist representation of the Zodiac sign of Leo Which looks like a question mark with the dot at the top instead of the bottom (and not sperm I swear): http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/50/505.html
Main Color: Pale Green
Secondary Color: Royal Gold

Transformation Sequence: Peridot claps his hands twice then pulls them outward as if he's pushing against something. All of his clothes disappear and he glows a light green. His underskirt and stockings form first. He then raises his hands in the air and grasps his cloak which has formed and throws it over his shoulders, the fabric catching the camera along the way and blocking the view. When it is restored, he is already dressed in his full garb (the tease). He then holds out his hands in the air whereupon his gloves are formed and lands on the ground as his sandals finish appearing. He then strikes a pose smiling, his left arm up to his chin, and his right arm bend toward his chest.

Introduction Phrase: “ Representing the Black Moon Clan, I am Peridot. I look forward to dueling with you.” He takes a small bow, his left hand over his chest. He is polite because he is the perfect gentleman, and besides, girls might be watching. Of course, this is when he is calm and collected. Angry's Peridot intro might just be "I hate you" or "Dancerating the Back Doom Dan, I are Peridot"

Le outfit
Starting from the top; Peridot sports green peridot crystal earrings which resemble the purple ones from the original series, held by a black loop. He also has an additional pair of simple golden earrings hanging above them.

He has dark brown fur that covers his shoulders and some of his front torso, the material is semi-hard and thick, reminding of a lion's mane. The fur is held in place by clasps that have each have three polished peridot stones with golden half circles spreading from them. The clasps are tied to his armor. His arms are covered with goldensleeves that are themselves coverede with three light green strips of armor for easy movement. Each hand is covered by a light green silken glove, on his left hand, his symbol is etched in the center. The gloves end in dark brown fur.

His light armor starts from his neck down to the middle of his knees. It is composed of two layers; the bottom is made with a scale-like metal which protects him against blows, and has a decorative pattern in gold on the bottom. The top (chest area) is also made of green scales, but has two golden stripes that have Nemesis symbols engraced in them in black. The top looks less like scale metal, and more like criss-crossed soft armor. The tunic is tied with a black obi near his waist and golden silken cord, which he hangs in the front. Peridot has a cape which is tied near his neck. It is dark black in the back and shimmering golden in the front (as seen by someone facing him). He also has a light green skirt that reaches about halfway his knees then ends with a golden ribbon.

Peridot has no pants because he is a man's man. Hell, he's got no stockings either, because screw it, he might as well go all the way. Beginning near his knee, he also has a light green bracelet plates covering the end of his legs that has a dark green golden near the top and bottom.

He has very simple two-lined dark olive green sandals clasped near his ankles.

Logos the mouse cannot be harmed by any of Peridot's attacks, and they either innocently bounce off him, or refuse to work. This is based of Aesop's fable that a mouse saved a lion's life from a trapper's net after the lion had previously spared its life. While this might seem rather pointless at first, anyone Logos touches / is held by is considered under his protection, therefore extending the no harm contract to that person. Cue everyone passing him around like a hot potato.
