Personality: Throughout his life Suzaku has gone through some pretty drastic changes as far as his personality is concerned. While the show doesn't have a lot of scenes focusing on him as a child he was shown to be fairly outspoken, stubborn, and downright mean when he was angry about something. That's not to say he was a bad kid, because he wasn't. He was able to recognize when he was being too of a tiny shit and where to draw lines. That is, until during an dispute with his father where he tried to convince the man to end a war Japan wasn't gonna win he ended up stabbing and killing him.
... Whoops.
After Suzaku's personality seemed to tone down in certain ways. He came across as nicer and calmer than he was as a child, though certain things did still set him off. More than anything Suzaku learned to bow his head and work his way into a system that desperately wanted to crush him. While he was more pleasant and less rough around the edges than before that didn't mean he wasn't still incensed about things he considered an injustice. He became determined to protect the people of Japan even at the cost of his own life.
Then again... after he killed his father there were a lot of things he was willing to do at the cost of his own life. After the murder Suzaku was forced to deal with a crushing feeling of guilt. It became a driving force behind many of his actions, such as his decision to join the military and protect people. He wanted to atone for his own sins so badly that he didn't care what sort of danger he placed himself in as long as he could keep those around him safe. In fact, it's pretty safe to say that Suzaku relished the chance to toss himself into life threatening situations. To put it as bluntly as possible, the crime he committed as a child caused Suzaku to develop a death wish. After years of carrying this burden in silence it was not surprising that Suzaku absolutely hated himself. He wanted to be able to wash the blood off his hands, but no matter what he did he couldn't just forgive himself no matter what heroic feats he pulled off. He wanted to die, but at the same time was desperately looking for a reason to want to continue living... and on top of that was then ashamed of himself for wanting to find a reason to live.
Just a little complicated there, and things only got worse when princess Euphemia entered his life. Or perhaps I should say things initially got better, and that was what made things take a turn for the bad after. Euphemia began helping Suzaku overcome some of the issues years of guilt had built up. While he was still a far cry from having gotten rid of his personal baggage, she gave him a purpose that didn't include a senseless sacrifice. Because he could not love himself, she promised to love him to make up for it...
And then shit hit the fan. His childhood friend, Lelouch, turned out to be the greatest terrorist of their time and used strange mind control powers he possessed to cause Euphemia to slaughter a massive crowd of innocent Japanese people before killing her himself.
That was around the time any sort of genuine kindness and gentleness in Suzaku's personality lept head first out a window and broke its neck on the ground below.
To say that Suzaku's a bitter person is kind of like saying "the universe seems fairly sizable". Bitter doesn't really begin covering the mess of rage, crushing sadness, guilt and betrayed feelings that are all rolled up into this kid. To be completely honest if it weren't for the "Live" geass that Lelouch had forced upon Suzaku before the death of Euphie, Suzaku would have killed himself. In fact, knowing that Lelouch stayed his hand on this actually makes Suzaku even more bitter and angry, which would almost be impressive if it wasn't so upsetting.
Certain aspects of his personality stay perfectly intact though despite the massive change he went through. Suzaku sticks fast to his belief of a right and wrong way of doing something, though his idea of what still falls in the realm of "acceptable" seems to be pushed to some pretty alarming new extremes. He still believes in the idea of working in the system to change it as opposed to completely fighting against it to put a new one in place (no matter how broken the old system is). He still wants to protect innocent people, and more than anything the people of Japan. He's even created a new goal for himself, to gain the title of "Knight of One" so that he can rule over Japan and choose how to guard and protect the people who live there.
A lot of his negative personality traits are still there as well, and if anything exacerbated by everything he's gone through. His stubbornness is amped up to new heights, and the hypocrisy he'd already displayed is now almost appalling at times. The righteous attitude and anger have also gotten worse. He's certainly not someone you want to be on the bad side of at this point in his life.
However he is still a very different person than who he was less than a year before Euphie was killed. He's a lot colder with people, and when he smiles and jokes around so much of it is just a shallow act he uses not to raise suspicion, his ability to genuinely enjoy things seems to be more or less non-existent for the most part, and he keeps himself somewhat closed off and at a distance compared to how open he was with feelings before.
He's also a lot harsher than before. He's willing to pull some really nasty stunts to achieve his goals, and while there are still lines that he draws for himself he's still not above emotionally and sometimes physically kicking the shit out of people. To put it really simply... he's a massive douche.
Powers: He's ridiculously fast to the point of being able to dodge bullets with ease, and can literally run across walls. Then there's his spinning kick nonsense where... well this about covers it. His physical prowess and almost acrobatic feats actually seem vaguely inhuman at times, especially considering he lives in a world where pretty much everyone else seems to have pretty normal physical capabilities.
Here while he'll still be more nimble and heck of a lot faster than most people, it'll be within human capabilities.
He's also been Geassed by Lelouch to "live". Which means that no matter what the situation is if Suzaku's life is put into mortal danger he will go to deadly extremes to keep himself alive against his own will. Coupled with his ownunnatural fighting skills the forced drive to live, no matter what, makes him his own tiny force of destruction.
If possible he'd still have the Geass in place, but with his own natural abilities dampened his ability to carry out the command to live is also lessened.
