Livio the Double Fang

Independent RP Blog for the Trigun character Livio the Double Fang.

Livio is astonished and delighted some of the kids still recognize him!

He’s happy to be home.

OOC: A little summary to catch ya’ll up on what’s going on with my version of Livio. I’ll make a more formal post after I’m done with midterms.

After spending a couple of years traveling around No Man’s Land and piecing together his fragmented self, Livio and Razlo are now one fluid person. He responds to either name because they are both his, but he defaults to Livio.

He remembers everything. All the good and all the bad.

To emulate Vash, Livio made a vow of non-killing (but not of non-violence!). He lives in December and helps out at the Orphanage, but sometimes still ventures out to wrestle sandworms or round up wrongdoers for fun. He’s friendly to strangers until they provoke him, wherein he can get nasty. But overall he strives to be patient.

Livio seeks to do sevenfold good for all the wrong he caused, so you could say his alignment is Chaotic Good :)

(HI! it’s been a while XD)

OOC: HOLY FUCK I finally managed to enter this account again. I’d actually forgotten the password and the email linked to this account got lost when I graduated college (rip) so I thought this blog was gone forever. But I managed to wiggle my way back on!! Yay!

It’s been years but Livio is still super important to me. I don’t think this blog will ever be a full-fledged RP blog ever again (I’m coursing through my third year in medical school and have even less time than before), but I wouldn’t mind popping in to answer a few questions.

For now, I’m glad to be back!

“Howdy!”

[liviothedoublefang]

So uh, how deep does Livio's affection for Vash go, if you catch my drift? ;)

“Mm… Mister Vash is an extremely important person to me. He taught me the power of forgiveness. I was his enemy. I killed his best friend. But still he held his hand out for me in peace. With no reason beyond an unconditional love of humanity, he chose to trust me.”

“…To be honest, for a long time I wanted him to be a replacement for Master C. Someone who told me what to do. Someone who inspired great faith in me. But…I now know that is not what love is.”

“You know…I think I could have been his replacement for Nico-nii, too. I think I would have done it, if he had only asked it of me. But Mister Vash instead taught me to be my own person. I will not forget that.”

“When I was lost, he taught me methods to cope with self-hatred. To this day I meditate every morning because he taught me to.”

“I really like Mister Vash. I wish him happiness. I hope someday we can spar again.”

/whispers in the wind/ 'Give em the ole Razzle Dazzle

“Razzle Dazzle?”

Livio has no idea what that means.

He abruptly rips off his shirt and his body immediately starts to glisten. He strikes a sexy pose.

“Y’mean like this?”

A few meters away, Jasmine sweatdrops. The children cheer.

She throws a shoe at his head. “Livio!! Stop admiring your stupid hot body and finish your chores!”

Livio catches the shoe with a cackle. “Yes’m!”

[liviothedoublefang]

Razlo, name your favorite animals!

The answer is immediate. “Sandworms!”

“Me and them used to be enemies, yanno. When I was a shit for the Eye of Michael, I hunted ‘em for sport. They’re tough motherfuckers, great for survival trainin’.”

Despite the cruelty of those times, they were some of the best of his life. He’s chosen to remember them fondly.

“Nowadays, me an’ sandworms get along much better. I took a vow of non-killin’ (but not of non-violence!). Every morning after meditation, I run outside and greet the ones that roam a few iles from the orphanage.”

Livio beams.

“It’s quite fun! Great cardio.”

[liviothedoublefang]

If you could permanently and safely separate into two - into Livio and Razlo - would you do it?

“Mmm.... You know, there was a time in my life when I would have given anything to be able to do that.”

Livio smiles placidly.

“That’s not the case anymore.”

They’re one and the same, now and forever. Though when facing enemies he still prefers to be called Razlo; it just feels right. It’s a name suited best for the heat of battle.

[liviothedoublefang]

Do you feel like you learned what you needed to on your trip? Or are you still looking for something?

“I learned...a lot. I understand myself a lot better now.”

He’d travelled the wastelands, wandered towns, kept to his vow of not taking a single life in an effort to emulate Mister Vash. It had been hard. He’d remembered many things Razlo had kept safe for him. He’d remembered so much he doesn’t know where Razlo begins or where he ends, now.

Having found some peace of mind among the chaos of his inner life, Livio had finally allowed himself to truly see and come to respect the strength of this planet’s people. Despite all of the losses they had suffered at Knives’ hands, they had already made good progress rebuilding and starting anew.

When he was young, he’d thought them cockroaches. Wretched, vile things, surviving when they were unwanted. But now he sees them for what they are: human. Desperate, starving, but somehow still full of hope. Still capable of goodness.

He thinks he might’ve thought of himself as a cockroach too. But now...

“I think I’ve found what I was looking for.”

"Cute hair cut Double-Fang ~ ❤"

“Thank you, Elendira!”

Livio had forgotten how nice it was to be able to see in front of his face. Having long hair was great for training -- using every sense but sight, as it were -- but short hair was definitely more practical.

[liviothedoublefang]

[/flicks paper ball at Livio's freshly cut hair] "Idiot."

“...what was that?”

[liviothedoublefang]

Livio’s fabulous hair just kept growing during his journey of self discovery out in the deserts of No Man’s Land.

When he finally went back home to December, Jasmine immediately grabbed the electric razor.

“What’s with the rocker haircut?!” Jasmine demanded with exasperation as she buzzed the whole thing off. She’d never witnessed Livio’s now-labeled ‘rocker’ phase, and this felt extremely out of character.

Livio grinned good-naturedly. “I just didn’t have time to cut it, is all.”

He liked his hair but he didn’t mind letting it go. He’d learned that sometimes you had to give up the old stuff to enjoy the new.

So…for those of you who remember this post, I’m slowly working on it! As you have noticed the topic is closed, and I won’t take request anymore, because I opened commissions and because I’m about to begin my exams (june-august).

kokohamstar said: I agree with fistkissbump. Maybe that hug they have too. Uhm.. meryl’s story about her firstgun is pretty amazing? Livio in any scene really. Maybe the one where he is talking about his magic accessories?

[deepspaceplanet]

Also another Livio, because I really love this fight.

[thoraeth]

I can’t wait to post this any longer! You can tell who’s my partner in crime straight away, as usual (<3) [bigger file, download it for better reading!]

[toastsamurai]

OOC: Reference for Livio and Razlo's eye tattoo.

It's hilarious inconsistent the first times it shows up, but later on it gets a bit tighter.
