Athletic, strong and fast. At his previous school, the Kashima Art Institute, his mastery over kenjutsu was rumored to be unmatched. As a member of the
Disciplinary Committee, Antoine was more than a mere student. His athleticism, skills and intellect had gained key positions for himself in several of the school's student committee divisions including the hall monitors, the peer watch program and the student internship team. As a member of the Kashima Shrine Academy, he steadily climbed the ladder of ranks and became one of their top disciples.
After obtaining a prominent position at the art institute, Antoine applied to be transferred to Oriens Academy as part of the ancient samurai tradition known as Musha Shugyo, or 'warriors pilgrimage'.
Like his counterpart,
Chastity, Antoine isn't much of a talker. As a matter of fact, "not much" would be the perfect description for his "personality". Over the years he has displayed a stoic manner which has given him a reputation to be impartial to both "good" and "bad". Instead he appears to have a propinquity for balance and steadiness more so than compassion or greed.
Antoine is the current wielder of the
Sky Piercer, a sword forged by a legendary Japanese blacksmith named Masamune. The blade was eventually passed down to two of Japan's most renowned swordsmen of the Edo period. The first being
Itō Ittōsai Kagehisa, a master swordsman who created the
Ittō-ryū and was rumored to have never lost a duel. The second notable swordsman to wield the famous blade was none other than his most promising successor,
Tadaaki Ono , who went on to be one of the two official sword instructors for the Tokugawa bakufu. The famous Sky Piercer sword is said to be able to cut through almost everything and durable enough to withstand almost anything. In order for one to wield the sword, however, a special incantation must be recited, followed by a blood bond between the potential wielder and the blade. Once the bond is formed no other person can draw the Sky Piercer from its saya.

Fighting Style
Although Antoine is gifted with advanced genes that give him abnormal physical attributes, he is a strategist before he is a fighter. Utilizing his intellect, he is able to keep up a defense while he pinpoints the weakness(es) in the opposition's fighting style while letting them wear themselves out. Then, making use of his enhanced physical faculties, he is able to strike with astonishing speed and power. His attacks are usually quick and short because he is very conservative with the amount of energy he expends in a fight; but should a battle prove worthy of his full strength, he gladly indulges himself in the greater extent of his abilities.
Being able to sense changes in ki fields, Antoine has a sort of precognitive ability in combat. Any slight shift or disturbance in ki waves or frequencies, and his sensitive mind will be able to detect it, which will then trigger his uncanny reflexes into response.
