Making him look shorter than usual most of the time due to his bad posture. However, when he does stand up, he grows quite tall from his slouching form with a weight of around 150 lbs, he is quite average for his body size with no buldging musles, it is his lithe form only. Having pale white hair like the color of snow as a side effect from the Treasure Tool inside him, and eerie yellow colored eyes which glows dimly sometimes.[/hider] [hider=Theme Song][Youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mb2QoaBy8ao[/Youtube][/hider][/center] [u]Name:[/u] Kendji Toshigawa [u]Gender:[/u] Male [u]Age:[/u] Has the appearance of a person in his early 20s if not late teens, when in actuality he is around the age of 120 years as of his current age. [u]Title:[/u] The Shattered Herald / The Flames of the False [center][b][u]Bio:[/u][/b][/center] [u]Personality:[/u] Kendji is an outgoing and flirty individual who has a carefree nature around him, having little quarrels about doing things that simply are to wash away the boredom that he has sometimes. Being a social butterfly who loves to talk, he can't help it but be a talkative person. He is usually friendly to everyone that he meets, once he gets to know one another after some talking. His best quality as a person is his smile and open nature which you can confide in, and his nature of trying to lighten the mood. Having always been quite the curious individual, he is very open to anything until something gives him the reason to be wary of it. Most of the time you will only see his happy and bubbly nature that he keeps on the outside unless they start chipping his mask. Keeping a firm lid on the bottle which houses his emotions, nothing escapes and nothing is vented out until the bottle itself break apart, releasing all the evils within him in a disastrous fashion if push to that point. Its quite a self-destructive quality of his that comes from his relatively reserved attitude which makes people often believe that he is just a simple pushover despite his size. Being quite a stubborn and tenacious person, once you get in his face he wont stop while he goes and blows up in yours. However if you play nice, he will play nice as well. Even though he may be dorky and overdramatic at times, he really is an intelligent, cunning and sly person who isn't afraid of backstabbing people or sucker punching you. It just depends on what he is deciding to use his mischief on whether it be bad or good. [u]Brief History:[/u] Born in a city to a family of the middle class, he lived a simple life as a student in his parent's house and went to school like any kids of his age. Going and attending to school it was a normal life like any kid of his time period would be doing, as a good kid who attended school and never ditched but there was moments when he was late. It wasn't until his freshman year in Highschool that he began to excel in his academics and began becoming more involved with everything. Setting up and laying a path for the future of his life, becoming an honor student and taking college courses. He was invested in improving the standing of his life so that it could be spent comfortably in luxury is possible. As a clever student and kid at the time, he invested all that he could to put the odds into his favor. Becoming the vice-president of the student council of his academy and becoming more involved as a figure in school and other peoples lives. It was a point of his life where he was prospering as he competed in various competition for speeches and scrounged for small scholarships from academics to the lesser ones of the sports that he could do. He even gotten one for art from making a suit and shirt out of duct tape... His encounter with the other side however... ended any chance of the bright future that he paved out so hard for himself. Encountering his unfortunate end at the hands of a Rinne, it was a massacre with no Flame Haze to stop their demise until their arrival was too late. The majority of the area devasted by the consumption of the Rinne it was only by chance that he survived due to his impressive amount of Power of Existance that he has within him. Being literally half dead due to him staying in the back of the conflict, he had enough to repair the area and salvage every victim into a torch at the cost of him becoming a torch as well... The Flame Haze would have no issue in exchange one human life who was half-dead for maintaining order and balance instead of facing the wrath of the disturbances. Little did that Flame Haze know, upon turning Kendji into a torch a Treasure Tool which will shape his new future entirely... Awakening to his new existence aware of his current predicament, with whispers of a voice he didn't know occasionally speaking a few words of advice every know and then but it didn't help him get out of the rut. Watching his existence self-aware as his flame grew weaker and weaker, he couldn't help but worry about once it was entirely smother out... Yet, he never revealed this as he kept the feelings into his own personal lock and cage before continuing his life, rinsing and repeating the actions that he would do if he was normal. Two months would pass later miraculously as the flame within himself had only dwindle slightly dimmer than before by a slight amount. Being an unusual case for a Torch, his existence has extended well beyond what normally their existence could sustain. The voice in his head from the incident months ago, often spoke to him in fragmented words but enough to convey meaning. His true nature as a Mystes would only be discovered in a trip to Europe for school. His Treasure Tool finally activating within Europe as he once again was attacked by Rinne but this time at the prompting of the voice inside of his head, manifested a new form of flames which were able to combat the beast and save the people from being devoured but the neighborly Flame Haze wasn't so... pleased by the result. Sensing the strangeness of Kendji as a hybrid of sorts in his form, they decided to eliminate him which he easily discovered his new form while capable of defeating a Rinne with some effort, against a Flame Haze he was easily outclassed as if he was a human. Capable of only holding himself barely against his aggressor, escaping barely due to the Crimson Denizen wonder who was causing trouble for their collection for existence. Creating an opportunity for him to escape while the Flame Haze was preoccupied by the Denizen since it recognized them as the more common enemy to deal with first. This fateful incident happen to align with meeting another piece of whatever else was residing within himself. The voice in his head finally introducing himself as Aldalion, the Grand Interloper to Kendji in fragmented pieces of information. It told Kendji about another person like him residing in the area around him as well, with another piece of Aldaion in them but unaware of its presence yet and to watch over them. So, he did since now he was curious if they would be a target as well since he could move through the Fūzetsu as Aldaion called it. His hypothesis proved to be true as they too were a target to the Rinne who chased for the Treasure Tool that was within them, however with the appearance of the Denizen to personally collect whatever was inside their body made further contact difficult. Just like before, the Flame Haze once again acted following the trail of the two suspicious Torches throughout the city and engaged in the Denizen which took the bait. At the moment of distraction, he was prompted by Aldalion to retrieve the Treasure Tool within the other Torch and combine it with his own to even have a chance of survive against a battle with a Flame Haze not to mention a Crimson Denizen. Latching onto the other Torch's hand the two pieces of Aldalion resonated with each other before choosing the more suitable host... Picking Kendji as the one with the most potential, the two pieces combined within him as it changed his form once more into something... greater at the cost of the Torch's existence which was sustained by the Treasure Tool. Arising in his new form, Adalion the voice that was inside him finally spoke clearer if not with a stutter which was better than before in pieces of information for him to decipher. Beside that, what mattered now was the two threats in front of him that he had to deal with... However, neither one of them could be taken on even with his new powers from what Adalion told him. They simply were too strong against a fragmented person like him, perhaps he could now hold his own against the Flame Haze but the Denizen on the other hand he wouldn't escape unscathed if he challenged it. Thus, was the best option that his new form can do quite good at, which was running away with its lithe and agile frame. Escaping from the battle scene, into the area outside the zone of battle that was being commenced. The rest of the conflict between the two sides he would stay out of until the trip to Europe was done, after spending the last several days hidden away. Returning back to his school with new found powers, it was the beginning of the story that would be with Kendji and Adalion. After graduating school, they would work not only as a Flame Haze for the next several years but get that pesky College degree out of the way while saving the lives of humans from the Rinne of Crimson Denizens and the occasional Flame Haze who went berserk. [center][b][u]Combat[/u][/b][/center] [u]Weapons:[/u] Kendji's weapon is his Katana which he wields in his hands dexterously as he shows his tricks and control over the blade. Outside of it being his main weapon, it is simply just a regular Katana that have no special qualities besides being reliable. [u]Color of Flame:[/u] His flames takes on the appearance of pastel blue flames which twinkles beautifully when he changes his forms to fight [u]Powers:[/u] Hand of the Interloper - Kendji is marked with the Treasure Tool of Adalion, which are a set of 5 pieces which the Crimson Lord split himself up to give to Torches from around world to stop the Denizens from disturbing the balance. Kendji himself is one of those people who has initially received a piece of Adalion, but now has 2 out of 5 pieces of the Crimson Lord within him. Still even with 2 pieces, he is a fraction of what a true Flame Haze would truly be but even then he can hold against them. The location of the pieces are with 1 residing in North America, 1 in South America and another in Asia. Kendji possesses the pieces in Japan and Europe, meaning that Adalion's influence no longer is present in Europe but has a stronger hold in Japan. Should he ever go retrieve those pieces of Adalion, a contract could be formed but the effects would be unknown by using a Torch which is an empty vessel technically. But either way, the more pieces of Adalion he has within himself the stronger his abilities become to greater than what they currently are. False Herald - Kendji is still technically a Torch, which his Treasure Tool gives him the abilities of a Flame Haze. Thus is still burning his resource of Power of Existence but its solved with Adalion's assistance on making his social actions and routine in life generate Power of Existence depending on how prominent they effect people. Allowing himself to never die out as a Torch basically as long as he sustains social interaction with people each day, which he enjoys doing. It allows Kendji to also increase his base amount of Power of Existence at a reduce rate as well, allowing him to be more noticeable and go longer without social interaction. However, the weaker and smaller the flame gets within himself the less amount of Power of Existence he receives from them until he reaches a certain base level to absorb it at normal levels. Aberration of the Haze - Receiving addition assistance from Adalion, the Crimson Lord's true purpose for turning himself into these Treasure Tool was to allow Torches the ability to fight Rinne. As once the chosen Torches receive Adalion within themselves, that piece of him will slowly give information to them explaining their situation. After briefing them about their situation, should the situation arise that they would need to change their form to combat it, the Crimson Lord would guide them through it at first. When using the Treasure Tool, they will manifest their flames and mix up their status as a Torch with a Flame Haze, causing a temporary hybrid during the duration of combat. As false Flame Hazes, those with a fraction of Adalion lack the general strength of Flame Hazes normally but those like Kendji can hold off against those of his skill level. Yet it is not their main skill, as they usually due to their lack of in raw strength and force they instead focus on speed and precision of their skills. [u]Unrestricted Spells:[/u] Fūzetsu - The basic spell which all Flame Haze, even those under Adalion uses to prevent the possible damage done to the surrounding area. Due to their limit of Power of Existence, they are limited on what they can fix within the seal without exhausting themselves out. Shutter Step - A simple spell which gives the appearance of teleportation but in reality uses his natural speed and amplifies it to move quickly over any distances. Its primary usage is to engage, disengage or make a clean move in a battle and can be use to travel over long distances on foot. Torch Image - Taking advantage of his nature as a Flame Haze, he has the ability to make illusions out of his own Power of Existence in the likeness of him. Capable of creating one to do an action for him, it is an intangible entity that will disperse in several seconds. Combined usually with Shutter Step to distract his opponents and open a vulnerable spot for him to attack. It is due to the quick nature of the spell that the two can be combined. [u]Equipment:[/u] Treasure Tool - Gift of Adalion (2 / 5 pieces) [center][u][b]Crimson Lord[/b][/u][/center] [u]Name:[/u] Adalion [u]True Name/Title:[/u] The Grand Interloper [u]Gender:[/u] Male [u]Keepsake:[/u] It takes forms as a mask which disguises his identity when fighting, and be held onto the side of his hip when not in use [u]Personality:[/u] Aldalion is a Crimson Lord who has likes to find vessels closest to his own personality, or seek out the shy types. Being a talkative person in general and engaging in small talk with each and every one of his vessels. Talking much about the other world to fill in the blanks that they still don't know yet. Grown accustomed to the way human talked to since he split himself in five, with his collective amount of memories and experience from each one reuniting once in a long while. Trading their memories with each other whenever they reunite before splitting again once his combined vessel is defeated. It is through this temporary vessel that he uses Torches and artificially Flame Hazes and uses these memories combined with other pieces of himself to deal with threats. Calling himself a force of relative good, since he is repurposing the empty shells that are Torches and use their usual classification of being defenseless into a weapon they use.[/hider] Just like what the title on the hider says... invested too much effort into this lol (writing the histroy part sucked) Hopefully it gets accepted, if not then... I better prepare my refutation attempt...
