When normal, Nero is a pretty happy guy,he has a brave and heroic personality,and will risk his lives for friends, enemies, and strangers alike. However, Nero is also exuberant, brash, inattentive, and heedless to formality or social standings. Nero can be sardonic, rude, and abrasive to anyone who he dislikes. He is also quick to anger, stubborn, and never misses a chance to use as much vulgar language as possible. He's hot-blooded, arrogant, brave, and strong.

Regardless of the countless foes he has fought , Nero rarely bears a noticeable ill will to any of them, but rather admires them for how powerful some of them are and how much fun they have given to him. Likewise, Nero is shown to have a remarkable capacity to forgive, forgiving Jin after he had tried to kill him many times.

==Powers==
Elemental Manipulation
User can manipulate, shape and create the basic elements of nature.
Solid,Liquid,Gas,Plasma, and others. Literally meaning to "Change Molecules", users of Elemental Manipulation are very rare and powerful. Capabilities may include moving, altering, and mixing existing elements or pull atoms together and create one atom from many others.
Due to their many similarities Telekinesis and Elemental Manipulation are often confused. Elemental Manipulation is the parent ability and power for many other elemental-based abilities and powers including Water Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, Air Manipulation and many others, while Telekinesis is the ability to control energy and matter using pure psychic energy.
Energy is considered to be a fifth element, similar to plasma, in some universes. Other energies (Such as Life-Force Manipulation, Magic, or Cosmic Manipulation) may be thought of as elements, but are energy. These are more specific and much rarer powers.
Nero can manipulate energy in various ways. However, this ability deals with the energy of their spiritual essence instead of the entire universe. Aura is the energy that is formed from one's achievement of spiritual power through extreme mental focus and strong emotions. Nero is able to increase his natural abilities, attract and repel the aura of others, sense the aura, and project it. Types of aura are located in different parts of the physical body such as the forehead, spine, throat, heart, and stomach. The power of the aura also changes with one's mood.
Nero can sense, generate and manipulate the fundamental force that allows life to appear/exist, grow and flourish throughout the universe. He is able to control his own personal life-force that dwells within him, allowing him to achieve untold power and great abilities considered to be beyond that of normal beings. Nero can also channel it through his sword. User uses physical, spiritual, and mental powers to control their life force.

Speed
After training with Sonic for over 10 years, Nero is known best for his speed, with the ability to run at speeds greater than Mach 1, which is at the blistering speed of 761 mph (1,225 km/h). He is occasionally referred to as "the second fastest thing alive," and is even noted to be the second fastest being in the universe. Additionally, he can run backwards at full speed just as well as forwards.
Due to such speed, he is able to scale right up the walls of buildings, or similar structures, and can also run right over water.
 When the Final Egg Blaster was about to fire, Nero defeated Ultimate Metal Sonic in less than 30 seconds. It is also believed that Nero can move faster while in spinball form than running, possibly even reaching the speed of light as seen where he could utilize the Light Speed Attack and the Light Speed Dash to achieve light speed movements. Also, Nero outran Eggman Nega's photon cannon, which the beams can move at light speed. This implies that Nero is faster than the speed of light. 
His speed does not seem to have certain weaknesses in that recklessness (the possibility of crashing into unintended targets) and "straight-line only" concepts are invoked, showing he has complete mastery over his speed. Nero is additionally shown to be able to run in full tight circles, thus is not exposed to the impotency of only being able to run fast in straight lines. Should he be running at uncontrollable speeds, he can utilize the Drift to opportunely control his momentum and even crash into foes with it. 
Aside from running, Nero can also apply his super speed for other abilities. He is able to heal himself by vibrating his body at supersonic speeds, launch shockwaves by spinning in his spinball form at high speeds, and set strong winds in motions with high-speed movements which he can use to attack opponents, similar to aerokinesis. 
Nero has shown astounding feats of kineticism, precision and has reaction time to match his speed. He possesses incredible acrobatic skills and agility, alongside astonishing reflexes, making him able to avoid sizably voluminous and minuscule obstacles with precise jumps and delicate movements despite their incoming speed, along side double jumps and wall jumps. When launched into the air, he can also perform several airborne tricks before landing on ground. He also has incredible jumping skills, allowing him to jump up to several hundred meters.

Nero relies mainly on his sword to deliver flurries and slashes at extreme speeds.He can creep right behind his enemies and slash them to death if they are not too careful. Nero is a swordsmen that has attained the zenith of skill which is represented by his wind-like steps and rhythmical movement. He embraces his speed as his best strength unlike other swordsmen who merely pursue raw power. His enemies can never evade their smooth yet fatal attacks aimed at their vital points. 
Fighting Style
In battle, Nero mainly tend to use his legs and fast footwork to attack his opponents as his greatest strengths lies in his legs, though his is also shown to use his arms in battle as well.
