Yet unlike everyone else he never received the Lord of Fire's blessing. He was smart and talented boy who could've a bright future. If he were not born to the Kannagi Clan, that is. With his inability to control fire Kazuma was a frequent target of bullying... by children who threw fireballs at him, often barely surviving in the process. Genma, his strict father thought of him as a disgrace and blamed Kazuma's powerlessness for his bad treatment. Years passed in this hostile environment and Kazuma was still unable to control fire. Then the day to select the heir and the inheritor of the sacred sword Enraiha had come. Kazuma faced with Ayano, a girl from the other main family who was much younger than him. The very first attack set Kazuma ablaze, yielding the title to Ayano. After this disgraceful performance Genma made the harsh decision and excised his son. Kazuma begged his father with tears but it only provoked Genma to slap him. Kazuma was separated from his father, mother and little brother. Furthermore to avoid the Kannagi Clan's wrath he was even forced to leave Japan. This event changed Kazuma's life forever.[/hider][hider=Birth of the Contractor] TBA [/hider][hider=Return to Japan] TBA [/hider][hider=Joining UMMA] Two years passed since defeating Belial. Kazuma resumed his activities as a freelance mage for hire. While visiting Ren in Tokyo he had encountered a strange man who clearly wasn't from this world. The man introduced himself as [url=http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/011/6/9/fei_wang_reed_by_lifes_paradox-d5r5u3v.png]Fei Wong Reed[/url] who had been searching for the Wind Contractor. Kazuma immediately realized that the evil wizard was up to no good yet before he could do anything he was caught in a large scale spell, transporting him through time and space to a different universe. Kazuma found himself sealed within an elaborate spell. Yet before Fei Wong Reed could begin his typical gloating Kazuma broke through the seal with his raw power. True to the evil mage's calculations Kazuma's contract with the Wind was invalid outside his home universe yet he failed to account for Kazuma's massive reserves of Ki. Relying on nothing but his Ki combined with martial arts Kazuma defeated Fei Wong Reed on short order. Yet it turned out Kazuma was only fighting against a dud, a fake puppet created by the evil mage. Some hours later UMMA agents managed to trace back on his location and escorted him to headquarters. After speaking with the director Kazuma decided to join UMMA and clean mess across the entire multiverse. With some effort Kazuma also extended his contract with the Lord of the Skies to allow his powers to work even in other universes. Nowadays if given some time to adjust Kazuma can assert control over the wind regardless of his location.[/hider] [color=6ecff6][b][h3]Personality:[/h3][/b][/color] At first glance to his teammates Kazuma may seem to be a lazy jerk who enjoys flirting with women and aggravating people more than he gets any work done. He's also quite a mercenary, preferring to get paid handsomely for any job. Yet in a sense this is all just a facade. Kazuma has a dark past which still casts a shadow on his life. He has a rather cynical view of the world and known to have a ruthless streak. He's self-governing and only shows respect to those who deserve it. Kazuma was once weak and powerless so he swore to use his abilities to protect the weak but especially those who are precious to him. As he said he never wants to lose anyone else. Kazuma has a powerful belief in his skills to pull through regardless the situation. This is no mere bravado but the product of his experiences. Kazuma can be also rather manipulating, making up schemes to overcome difficulties or just make his job a little easier. Kazuma is anything but a fair fighter and he's willing to abuse any sorts of weakness if it helps him. As explained above, he's can be also ruthless. His enemies rarely survive against him. Albeit compared to the past Kazuma had softened up considerably. Deep down Kazuma is also rather prideful and competitive. [color=6ecff6][b][h3]Abilities:[/h3][/b][/color] Wind Magic (Fuujutsushi): Kazuma had formed a contact with the Lord of the Skies, the elemental king of air spirits. As such Kazuma can control air pretty much like it were an extension of his body. Wind blasts, tornadoes, wind blades, etc as typical forms of attack. He can make shields, walls or barriers made of air. He can alter the route or composition of air, detect/filter out poisons, raise oxygen concentration to make fireballs prematurely explode, etc. Of course he can also fly and pretty fast at that. He can also feel anything in contact with air, working even better than a radar. When he isn't concentrating Kazuma's range is 300 meters while in combat this jumps to 10 kilometers. Thanks to his level of Ki, control and willpower Kazuma can also make his air/wind perform things which should be physically impossible. He can mix air with his magic abilities, raise the heat capacity of air to block blinding white plasma-hot fire, slice through dimension, gravity or spatial distortions, split lasers in half via wind blades and just arbitrarily made his wind literally faster than light. His air can also interact with things that doesn't seem to have substance. He can cut fire in half, choke ghosts to death and his winds have a degree of evil/demonic energy purifying effect. Albeit admittedly Kazuma is better at just plain destroying things and something like purifying curses is too much of a hassle for him. Downside of this power that it literally relies on him concentrating wind. If there's no air then he doesn't have much to do. Similarly he needed to wait a bit to transport air in sufficient quantities down to the bottom of a long cavern system before he could use his more powerful techniques. Aside from this, Kazuma is also experienced with all kinds of magic even if he doesn't use them. His senses to supernatural are extremely keen and he can often see through the opponent's magic pretty quick. Kazuma also has massive Ki which makes him somewhat superhuman even without magic. He's also expert in martial arts and aside from Genma nobody matches him in close combat. Once he had his magic blocked and fought with a person boosted to be on par with him. He handled that fight by his sheer wits and fighting skill alone. Kazuma also showed stamina enough to fight for entire hours. Lastly Kazuma can also access more power via his Contractor Mode. Basically he stops limiting himself and merges with the Lord of the Skies. This visually shows by his glowing blue eyes. When in Contractor Mode his range increases to 100km which pretty much means his power would move so much air it's plain visible from space. The purifying effects of his winds also increase considerably and he can cleanse evil/demonic powers rapidly without harming anything. In this mode Kazuma can also heal wounds with his wind but admittedly he's still pretty mediocre at it. The big downside is that Kazuma is just a mere human and his brain can only withtand this flow of information for 5 minutes at best. Any more and he'd burn out. Also after using his Contractor Mode the strain would usually exhaust Kazuma completely. So obviously this isn't something he'd normally rely on. [color=6ecff6][b][h3]Equipment:[/h3][/b][/color] - [b]Kokusen:[/b] Legendary Artifact of the wind, a spear blessed by the Elemental King Lord of the Skies. It has the inherent ability to manipulate wind and enhances/focuses the wielder's air manipulation powers. Being a spiritual weapon which can be only wielded by a worthy user, it can be stored within Kazuma's soul and can be summoned to his side any time. While powerful, Kokusen doesn't really fit Kazuma's style so he only uses the legendary spear when absolutely necessary. - [b]Seven Stars Blades:[/b] Enchanted blades about 30cm in length that can be loaded with magical energy. They aren't particularly powerful compared to Kazuma's wind magic and only used them once as an emergency. - [b]Black Gloves (name unknown):[/b] Magic item which allowed Kazuma to phase his hand through somebody's skull and leech information directly through the synapses of the brain. The process is painful and often leaves the subject as a mental cripple. As such Kazuma only really used this once during his darker times. - [b]UMMA Multi-Dimensional Travel Device:[/b] Since Kazuma is unable to cross dimensions he's relying on UMMA's portable devices to travel across the multiverse.
