Physical appearance ~ :
FACE
Balthazar has a face that is best described as endogenous. His eyes are a striking icy blue, and upon further examination of his left eye, the symbol of the Nobodies is etched in his iris. They are narrow and calculating. His eyes are most often rimmed with dark eyeliner. The only really negative thing about Marius' face is that he looks so much like a child, leading many to believe that he is much younger than he really is. Balthazar does have a nice smile, one filled with arrogance and self-satisfaction. His full smile is rarely seen, as he prefers the smirk ‘look’. He has a mouth feel of sparkling white teeth that he makes sure to take incredibly good care of, although they are rarely seen as they are often hidden behind his elegant mask.
HAIR
Balthazar’s hair definitely adds more to his appearance rather than taking anything away from it. It's one of the things that he makes sure is always perfect- he is a bit of a narcissist, especially when it comes to the condition of his hair. It's naturally an unnatural black, with shining silvery streaks. He is barely ever found without his hair just to his liking. It's naturally straight and slightly fluffy. But it's silky smooth to the touch. The kind that people literally beg to run their fingers through, and on a few instances people actually have begged him to let them do it. He does have those 'swoppy' bangs that are constantly covering one if not both of his eyes.
BODY
Balthazar has relatively pale skin that no matter how long he is in the sun remains the same complexion. It's silky smooth, and practically flawless. Balthazar doesn't have a very intimidating figure, although he is fit with decent muscle definition. His eyes really show his intensity rather than his muscle tone. He's a bit gangly actually. If he was only a few inches taller he'd be have little to no control over his limbs. He has an incredibly flat stomach and you can practically count the number of ribs that show. His legs and arms are thin, but they aren't appallingly skinny.
Clothing/Accessories ~ :
For one who prides himself on efficiency and proficiency, his attire is relatively impractical. One would expect that a man who does battle on a near daily basis to wear clothing that would be comfortable and competent for battle, but nothing could be further from the truth. On the contrary, Balthazar’s attire is quite intricate and elegant, consisting of a variety of layers.
Beneath the long trench coat that nearly always adorns the person on Balthazar is a sleeveless half-shirt turtleneck, held up by buckles and chains around his neck. The black coat he wears is studded with a variety of silver buttons and spikes across the collar and across the back. His pants tend to be relatively fitted, and like his coat is adorned with buttons, buckles and zippers of silver. On his feet are heavy knee-high boots.
Balthazar is rarely seen without a variety of jewelry, crafted from silver and platinum. Around his neck are a variety of chains, consisting of a cross, a skull, and the Nobody emblem.
The final notable piece of Balthazar’s attire is one that only rarely appears. At times, a glassy wing crafted from ice will float over his right shoulder. It serves little purpose to his current knowledge.

Alignment ~ : Chaotic Neutral.
Behavior ~ :
Balthazar’s personality is one that is relatively easy to explain. He is ambitious and questioning. He also has a natural want and need to lead, playing servant simply wasn’t good enough for him, and because of this, he would refuse to accept a lifestyle of diligent service.
There’s also a coolness and aloofness about him – he does not belong in the earthly realm and prefers to quietly do his work, listen and give counsel. At the same time, it comes off as a near perfect act - a blanket pulled over the ugliness of what some would consider his soul, over the imperfections and void. He's recovered, but not healed. He's okay with it - worse things have happened to others and worse things will happen to him. However, when put under extreme pressure, he begins to lose his cool, and shows signs of insanity. This is where his truly sadistic nature comes to the surface.
He has self-confidence to the highest degree, feeling superior to just about all of those who he comes into contact with. This is clear when he talks to most people, seeing them as ants compared to him, despite the fact that they may be on the same level.
Above all he is extremely arrogant, with an attitude that truly believes, “I can do whatever I want and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop me.” He knows what his goals are, and he knows that at some point, he will attain them.

~Weapons~
Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

Balthazar
Essentially, Balthazar’s only weapon is one that would hardly be considered ‘intimidating’, as when not in use it is no more than a beautifully decorated katana hilt, generally black in color. However, only the heat of battle can bring out the chillingly deadly weapon called Balthazar. Using his mastery over the element of ice he creates a masamura, or an abnormally long katana crafted from ice, giving it a crystal or glass like appearance. The weapon rarely breaks, and is effective in all weather, however there are ways it can be used differently, depending on the given environment. The fact that his weapon is also called Balthazar leads many to speculate that Balthazar is not his true name.

AP: 10
[De la Gelés]:
De la Gelés (Lit. of the Frozen) is Balthazar’s unique ability to bend, shape and stretch his blade. It is a relatively simple ability, but if used strategically can be extremely effective. If anything, it is the base of any of his other abilities, but can be used on its own to serve a purpose.
Strength: Weak.
Uses: Passive.
[Aile De la Gelés]:
This technique is less of an attack and more of a distraction. This ability causes the frozen wing on the right side of his back break off into shards and swirl around the area. The glassy shine of these ice shards can also give the illusion of multiple Balthazars, similar to a house of mirrors.
Strength: Weak.
Uses: Generally used once per battle.
[Cercueil De la Gelés]:
One of the more powerful extensions of Balthazar's De la Gelés technique. Balthazar casts a blast of ice at his enemy from the hilt of his blade, one that appears to be a demonic face with an open mouth. The attack will home in on the enemy, and if its aim is true, the opponent will be trapped within the mouth of the beast. Generally, the attack is not a fatal blow.
Strength: Strong.
Uses: This attack is rarely used.

The End of the World: arguably the most sinister and ominous area in the known universe. End of the World is a by-product of the Heartless' destructive nature. Upon taking a world's heart, a tiny fragment of what is left of that world is sent drifting through the void of space until it eventually meets and merges with End of the World. It is, in essence, a Heartless of the destroyed worlds, as well as the location of Kingdom Hearts for worlds' hearts. Legend has it that this mysterious land is the Heartless of the Worlds. And for every Heartless, there is a Nobody.
Enter Balthazar Noriega. Balthazar is not the complete nobody of the Worlds, more like a fragment that had broken off during the process of the creation of the World That Never Was. He was not born into the world like the average human, he was more accurately spawned, left to fend for himself in the abyss known as the Gate to Dark, with no memories of who he was or his reason to be. He was merely a drone, one cursed with an eternity to find out who he was.
After two many eons of life, and still no purpose, Balthazar would seek a way to end his meaningless existence and in theory found his answer when researching the legendary weapon known as the Keyblade. From that point on, he knew his mission, and what he had to do. In order to release himself from the bondage of existence, he would have to find this ‘Keyblade’ and use it to end his own life.
The diligent Nobody was eventually able to obtain the legendary weapon, but upon holding, he couldn’t bring himself to take his life, the power he held in his hand gave him a reason to live. He wanted more. Upon losing the Keyblade, Balthazar’s life was still an endless pursuit of the Keyblade, but now it was for different reasons. He couldn’t live without it.
