Alright, I am going to make a huge revamp to the character lore, so... [Also to create contrast between one who believes fate and one that manipulates and creates fate...]
Partner:
1. Remilia Scarlet
[I figured since she was a vampire, there is a great chance she might need blood to survive, so can that be a part of the story mechanics (just for Remilia, I guess)? If not, it is fine with me.]

-Personality
General
Believes that only the strongest survive, and actively refrains from making acquaintances as he fears that he has to kill them someday. Also, very silent, and does not talk unless necessary, and in a no-nonsense way. He had also experienced betrayal, thus he is very conservative, and also careful. Usually he likes to talk about fate, if he ever talks.
Likes
Appreciates people who display clear independence and survival instinct, and also has ability to fend for themselves. Though, he does envy those who are able to act based on their emotions instead of logic. Also, chivalrous duelists, and those who really know what honor and dignity is worth.
Dislikes
Hates on people who are whiny and dependent, and are incapable of anything. Also hates people who act rashly on emotion and the people who fake bravery. Detests fate's rein on him.
History/Background: Owen Sterne is a member of a family of famous contract killers. They work part-time for the Singapore Military as assassins to eliminate important threats to society, and he has been raised in a world where he views all lives to be useless and merely tools. However, he himself is haunted by a memory of him having to kill a young girl in order to silence everyone at the scene of his killing of a Terrorist member, as the government would silence him regardless of whether he kills a "proper" person or not, as long as he is caught doing the act. He is on payroll of the Singapore Military's Sabotage and Espionage division, and also a contract killer that acts as long as there is a reward. However, ever since that incident that haunted him since 9 years ago, he is unable to let go of that memory, and refuses contracts that are inhumane as he deems. He used to have a comrade in a sabotage squad that he used to be in, and on one of his missions, he was the only member of his team to return and had his arm shot when he had to bail when the mission failed. Since then, he lost his best friend and comrade, and understood the true meaning of the sanctity of life - It is worth nothing. He resides in an apartment, and has spent most of his childhood in private education and also learning to use knives to kill. When his grandmother died, who was a gentle person, and did not know about the killing and the training he received in the first place, she gave a necklace she cherished to him. That was his last memory of the only person that treated him as a normal person. He also has a bracelet from young when his mother gave him during the first few months of birth before she died due to an infection and complication during the surgery done when he was born. His father is also a trained assassin, and treats him very coldly, and as if he were using him as a tool.
2 months ago, he had been sabotaged by his comrades that wanted to take his position [internal politics/office politics, if you know what I mean] in the military to go on a mission to kill a certain person in the apparent name of the government, and his comrade that sent him exposed him in order to gain his position and credit from his superiors as Owen was a very dangerous operative anyways, and the government also wanted to get rid of him due to some polictical complications. This was also when he experienced betrayal by another of his trusted comrades. As he was being hunted down in Singapore, he needed to escape. He created the false scene of him jumping into the sea and drowning, and the government never bothered to track him down as he was believed dead, or even if he was alive, would never be able to get back to Singapore with his belongings in Singapore confiscated, including his citizenship and passport. Eventually he arrived in Japan after being picked up by contacts he hired to escort him to Japan and earn him citizenship. He has since lived under the alias of Hikari Tsubame [lit. Swallow of Light/Light Swallow] and conceded to fate having him live his life this way. He still lives in a run-down apartment somewhere in Asaka, and still retains his killing profession. That is, if the contractors can find him. He works in a provision shop there in the day, and earns enough to sustain a living. He finds himself weak as he is controlled by destiny/fate.
As of now, he has no relatives, with his mother dead during birth due to complications, his father "killed in action" [government disposal after Owen's company misconduct was discovered], his grandparents dead and his comrades either dead or betrayed him. He has no friends nor contacts as of the current moment.
Fighting Style: He fights with a custom made Swiss Army Knife by his father, with the knife blade having ornate carvings on yit. He specialises in swift kills, going for the neck of an enemy and tries to keep fights, if any, to as short as possible. He does not favour the use of his firearm, as it was the very firearm he killed the young girl who witnessed what he did during that specific mission with. He also tries to aim for the artery and tries to give his enemy a quick, painless death. He fights with his Swiss Army Knife with a backhand grip, and is able to fight competently with blade-wielding opponents. If the opponent uses a firearm, he will favour ambush tactics.
Ability: Sheer Effort and training from young. Impeccable mastery of the Knife renders him able to swing at high speeds, however, only at human capacity. He does not like fights, and the most favourable option will always be to stay away from trouble. But when he does fight, he wishes to fight with all his might.
Goals/Objectives/Ambitions: He wishes to be a strong person, as he believes that humanity is weak because of all the angst and qualms that people have when they do something. He abides to chivalry [as much as he can be for someone that strikes from the shadows], and is also unorthodox when need be. He also wants to escape fate itself, which he is a believer of, yet loathes fate's reins on his life.
Theme Song (Optional):
The Price of Freedom:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOJ91H4mraU [When he is in a sentimental talk/talking about fate]
The World's Enemy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T7FlxbO50Y [When he gets into a fight he cannot get out of... his family blood takes over, and his ruthless side shows.]
Fun Facts (Optional):
He keeps his Firearm in pieces, and only assembles it when he needs it.
His reluctance to use his firearm makes him consider himself weak.
His Swiss army knife is carved with the words "Silence".
He mastered a technique with his blade called the Swallow Reverse, where he dashes at an enemy and feints into a backhand slash. It is made so the opponent will have next to no reaction time if he pulls it off while the opponent is worn out, or botches their escape/parry. [Also a devout of Bushido, thus he knows of Sasaki Kojirou and wants to honor him with his developed technique with the Swiss Army Knife]
He only uses the blade of the knife when he is sure he can attack the neck, or he will use the blunt edge of the knife.
His unkempt sideburns make him look like a wolf.
His left arm is actually able to perform like a real arm, however, it cannot grasp anything very tightly, thus is usually not used in combat [can't grasp a sword/knife/gun].
He can be said to be the worst with the gun, despite being able to assemble it within a short span of 10 seconds. With one hand. His aiming is far off, and he never devotes himself to that weapon, as it is his most traumatizing event.
Soon-to-gain abilities: Undecided, but something to do with the art of a sword/knife. May change his weapon into a real sword, or give him abilities to project a sword weapon, like how Remilia is able to project her lance in Touhou: Unthinkable Natural Law. Also thinking of stealth...
Confirmed: I will have him use his blood as fuel for his abilities in a process called "Blood Ritual", and basically is the only thing that allows him to actually harm the more supernatural beings [i.e. Anything other than an ORDINARY HUMAN. He can still inflict harm to a human with magic abilities without Blood Ritual, but yeah. Blood will be his source of ability and power, so to speak, and his blood will be upkeep for both his abilities and Remilia... Wow, what have I gotten myself in to.]
So, tell me if you need it to be altered any more. He will use his alias, but soon will abandon it when he is alone/with trusted people.
Also, to clear your worry: He can and WILL be relying on Remilia to do the fighting after he realises how physically weak he is compared to a seemingly 10 year-old girl.
Did he seriously seem so OP-ed to you...? I mean, combat useless left arm, good right arm, decent assassination skills, good knifework, and veteran... + VERY VERY BAD SHOT...
Nevermind my statement, I was just curious... yeah, please review my profile to see if it fits into your standards... thank you very much...
[Wonders how I am so excited waiting for the RP to start]
Oh, when will registration close... er... not rushing you... but yeah, I just wanna know a rough estimation, thanks!
EDIT:
This is when he uses his Blood Ritual ability.
