Character: Superbi Squalo
Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Point in canon: Morning of Choice
Age: 32
Personality: One thing you should always keep handy when dealing with Squalo: A really good pair of ear plugs. Ranked number one loudest mafioso in Fuuta's book of ranking he's not the most patient one in the group. Far from it really with his temper only being rivaled by Xanxus himself. While seeming like a complete loose canon Squalo is actually much more perceptive and talented than his attitude lets on. Even at the young age of fourteen his sheer determination and skill couldn't be matched by even the current Sword Emperor, Tyr. Going as far as cutting off his own hand to be able to relate to Tyr's fighting style he was a swordsman genius at that age.
Squalo's also fiercely loyal, no matter what. He decided at a young age that he just had to follow Xanxus, no matter what. Not only did he give up his claim as the boss of Varia but even after finding out that there was no possible way for Xanxus to become the leader of the Vongola he still follows him to the very end to chase that impossible dream. The main aspect of Squalo's loyalty is actually his hair which he promised to Xanxus he wouldn't cut until they achieved his goals. (Despite Xanxus telling him it was a stupid idea.) Even in the eight years that Xanxus was imprisoned and the ten years that followed their defeat at the hands of Tsuna and his guardians, he still never once cut his hair.
At age thirty-two, while still as loud and vulgar as ever, Squalo seems a tiny bit more level headed than he was when first introduced. Though of course that can be due to maturing slightly as he grew up. His determination, loyalty, foul mouth, temper and master swordsmanship are still just as strong as ever.
History: Squalo was fourteen years old when he met Xanxus. He saw him at a formal gathering and (as stalkerish as it seems) he decided just from the look of the boy that he wanted to follow and work under him. In his quest to complete his sword style he had to defeat Tyr who was the current Varia boss at the time. But in order to understand Tyr's way of fighting (He didn't have a left hand) Squalo decided to cut off his own left hand despite everyone telling him it was insane. Turns out it was a good idea for him at least as he killed Tyr in battle. Though instead of claiming the position of Varia boss for himself he handed it over to Xanxus. He also made a promise that he would never cut his hair until Xanxus became Vongola Decimo, something which he also suggested Xanxus do as well but the boy told him it was a stupid idea and he refused. Nonetheless, Squalo stuck with the idea himself. Somewhere along the line the two of them gathered the ones who are the current Varia officers, though the details are few and far between.
Not too long after that though, Xanxus decided to attempt to overthrow the Vongola family and Squalo was right behind him the entire time. While the rest of them dealt with the family Xanxus and Squalo himself fought against the Ninth, Xanxus' father. Squalo was injured during the fight, and hiding behind a pillar as he could barely move. Xanxus assumed he was unconscious and went on a rant yelling at his father for never telling him he was adopted and leading him to believe he would one day be in charge of the Vongola even though it was impossible since he didn't have Vongola blood in him. Despite knowing their dream was now an impossible goal, Squalo stayed loyal to Xanxus and continued to grow his hair out anyways. Even after they lost horribly and Xanxus was trapped in an ice prison Squalo still grew out his hair for him.
After eight years Xanxus was finally released and Squalo, who had been leading Varia until then, had taken his position as the second-in-command. In their attempt to once again take over the Vongolas, Squalo chased the boy Basil all the way to Japan in order to obtain the Half Vongola Rings. When Yamamoto, Gokudera and Tsuna got in the way to help Basil out, Squalo took them down with little to no effort. When Dino and his family stepped in Squalo backed off, but managed to get the box and take it back to Italy to Xanxus. Sadly for him, the rings were fake, a decoy while Dino had the real ones on him. After dealing with a massive headache once Xanxus realized they were fake he went with the rest of Varia to get the rings from them by force. It was at that point the Ring Battles began.
For most of the Ring Battles Squalo takes up the position of giving commentary along with Mammon. When it's finally his turn and he realizes that his opponent is the kid he brushed aside before he doesn't give it another thought. But when he sees Yamamoto getting Hibari to calm down his interest is caught as he sees the kid's improved. Even still, he tells him that his chances of winning are still zero percent. In the battle Squalo is positive he's going to win the fight as he recognizes the sword style and has defeated it before. Even Dino keeps insisting that Yamamoto is in serious danger if he chooses to use that style. But in the end, Squalo gets caught off guard by the fact that Shigure Souen is a changing style depending on the students of it. Even after being defeated, Yamamoto continues to surprise Squalo by trying to pick him up and get him to higher ground so they would both be safe. Squalo only laughs and tells Yamamoto he's too soft before throwing him out of the way. Just in time as the shark comes up and pretty much eats him. Everyone automatically assumes Squalo is dead but luckily for him Dino had his men on stand by and they managed to get him out safely enough.
Later on during the Sky Battle Dino shows up with Squalo in a wheelchair. He's obviously badly injured and in a less than favorable mood. Dino had kept trying to get information out of him but Squalo refused to speak of anything involving Xanxus or their plans, so Dino figured bringing him to the battle would get him to finally say something. As it turns out, this was a rather good idea as Squalo reveals everything he knows about Xanxus. Frankly, Xanxus would have been better off not asking as the amount of information he gives is once again borderline stalkerish. The only other time that 22 year old Squalo is seen was during the Inheritance Trials when he and Belphegor showed up to retrieve Mammon. They stated that a mission had come up that required an illusionist and Boss was pissed when the Arcobaleno was no where to be found.
Ten years later Squalo's first appearance is when he's informing the Vongola brats not to leave the base for anything, not even for a new ring signal appearing. Of course, he doesn't bother telling them that they already are aware of Chrome having issues at Kokuyo Land and Ryohei being sent to bring her back to the Vongola base. Because that would be nice and Varia doesn't do nice. They might still hold a bit of a grudge for the Ring Battle thing. After that Squalo is shown to be the leader of the attack on Millefiore in Italy, despite the fact that it should really be Xanxus' job. So while their boss is busy with dinner Squalo directs the rest of the Varia to spread out across the forest in search of the Funeral Wreath after they take over the enemy castle.
He heads off on his own but is caught off guard when Varia grunts fall from the sky. Immediate he suspects that an enemy has attacked them, only to be informed that it was Xanxus. Three grunts, all beaten up by Boss because he wasn't happy with the food. Needless to say it's quite obvious that a bored Xanxus felt like fucking with Squalo and the shark gets royally pissed off as he's a bit busy actually fighting the enemy and orders them to tell Xanxus to just deal with it. His annoyance at that incident might also have just added his building anger as after the battle is over, they listen to Byakuran's message and speak with the Vongola brats, Lussuria has to physically restrain him from trying to attack Xanxus after his communicator is broken.
Later on Squalo gets pissed off when he hears that Yamamoto lost to Genkishi, a swordsman that Squalo himself had faced against before. Almost immediately he sets out for Japan, using his Heavy Rain Shark box weapon to cross the ocean until he boards a ship to take him the rest of the way. Though he arrives a bit later than planned (he really should have just sucked it up and asked Xanxus for a plane ticket) he reveals that he'll be the one training Yamamoto for the Choice Battle. Though of course his first order of business is beating the poor boy unconscious before slinging him over his shoulder and taking him off for a week of beating the shit out of him for stress relief training. During which Squalo tells Yamamoto he has to make a choice: Sword or baseball. Squalo's pleased when the boy picks the sword, but of course that's quickly short lived as the damn brat tells him it's only until they win. The morning of Choice, he sneaks into the base with Dino so they can go along with the others to the battle field.

Regular Post: [The loud crackling sound of a Pokegear being horribly abused cuts through. Apparently the owner thought if they abused it enough then that fucking music would stop playing. Once it becomes quite obvious it's not stopping anytime soon the static finally settles down. Sadly, the few blissful moments of silence are quickly dispatched by an eardrum bursting voice.]
VOOIII!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?! I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PREPARING FOR A BATTLE, NOT LOOKING AFTER SOME PIECE OF TRASH FISH!!! AND WHERE THE HELL IS MY SWORD!? DAMMIT IS THIS BYAKURAN'S DOING?! WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE ELSE?!
Log Post: Squalo grumbled to himself as he made his way towards the pain in the ass boss's apartment. His day had been going just fucking fine! But nothing can ever be simple. Training had been going as usual, just a bit of playtime with those fucking spirits with small hopes that one of the fuckers had his sword. Of course none of them ever did but slicing through them made him feel a little bit better about it. Now his replacement sword was strapped to his waste, there was no sheath for it because that would just be fucking pointless and in the way, and he was heading back home. But was the still missing custom sword the reason for his anger? No, of course not. The reason was that one of the god damned fucking spirits exploded. Not just sliced and died, it fucking EXPLODED!!! And all that shit got in his FUCKING HAIR!!! As if it wasn't hard enough to wash his hair every day because of fucking alcohol now he had to get this shit out of it! He had stopped by a river a while back to get the shit off his clothes and make a small attempt to get it out of his hair. For the most part he had managed to get the chunks and shit out but there were still streaks here and there that could only be removed with thorough cleaning.
The only plus side was the bag tied to his waist opposite from his sword. The faster he walked the more it clanked together. Inside was about five or six different types of strong liquor. The place he had decided to go for hunting happened to be near a bar and he figured the best way to actually be ALLOWED to take a fucking shower when he got home was if he managed to get on the prick's good side. Otherwise he'd just end up dealing with this crap in his hair all fucking day until he went to bed. And from past experience Squalo knew that the longer you let blood and other shit sit in your hair the fucking longer it took to rinse it out. The last fucking thing he needed was that asshole bitching to him about using up all the hot water again and force him to bath out in a river. Dick.
Going up the stairs he was relieve to finally be back home. Not really caring if it was annoying, kinda hoping it was, he kicked the door open with a bang. It didn't matter that it wasn't really closed all the way in the first place. It was the principal of the matter. Cocky grin in place he stepped in and threw the bag to Xanxus. Part of him was hoping it would hit the fucker in the head but he knew that was wishful thinking. The bastard always caught anything thrown. Fucker. "VOI! Found a fucking bar today! They've got a lot more shit than those stores you usually get your whiskey from!"
That's when he paused, noticing that there was another in the room. He didn't even bother asking questions before he had his sword drawn and pointed at the kid's neck. "Who the fuck's the brat?!"
