Ekibe Djeserit
"Which one is the real me? Teehee!"
18; her induction into the family is little less than a half a year now.
Gender: Female
Race: Demi-goddess, Devil Reincarnation.
Ranking: Rook.
Appearance: She stands at roughly 5'6, though do not let her height deceive you. Ekibe's strength lies in her mind, not her body. Being the descendant of Hathor, she carries an air of femininity about her, and her body certainly shows it. With a stunning natural beauty, athletic body, and magic ability, one could almost mistake her for a Queen. Albeit this is not the case, and Ekibe tends to use these misunderstandings to her advantage...
Skills: -
Athletic: Ekibe has quite an athletic frame, and while it isn't awfully strong, her agility is rather impressive. She's an especially sporty student, though her main focus is dancing, and so her footwork is really quite tremendous.
-
Dancing: Try as you might, nobody can quite beat Ekibe's dancing prowess. In fact if it weren't for her father being an exorcist, this is likely the type of magic she would have developed. Though she understands the potential in learning magic attune to dance, she so far has to protect the magic she currently posses before advancing onto something new. That being said, in terms of just plain dancing, she's pretty fantastic!
-
Charming: There's an aura about Ekibe which is intoxicating for both men and women alike. Something about her tends to tug towards people's desires, and in that regard she does well as a client. It doesn't help that she knows it and enjoys showing off, either.
-
A Stomach of Infinite Proportions!: By far Ekibe's most "impressive skill" by her own standards, she can eat just about anything, and a lot of it! It's the only thing that really turns people off of her, since she appears more demon than human when at a feast. A side-effect of this superpower is an inability to gain weight and bragging rights. This also applies for alcohol consumption.
Sacred Gear: N/A
Magic: -
Illusion/Cloning Magic: Ekibe's primary form of magic is Illusion and Cloning magic. Using her cloning magic, Ekibe can create, at maximum, ten different copies of herself which will act independently of her, though all of which are obedient to Tsumiki. Her illusion magic can do one better, creating powerful illusions which can attack or distort the minds of her opponents, and sometimes even herself! These illusions typically either bend reality to appear different for those in the vicinity, or insert things into reality which aren't there. As such, Ekibe has created a deadly combination of cloning herself and using her illusion magic to conjure up several more fake versions of herself which cannot affect reality. At most, Ekibe can sustain five clones and ten illusions of herself for ten minutes in combat, and can last many times longer when not fighting, becoming an able scout. Her clones' thoughts relay into her own mind, which can be incredibly difficult to process in the thick of things and is why she doesn't like summoning more than five during combat. That, and the rate in which it drains her energy is exponentially multiplied with each new clone. Regardless, her clone-illusion mix makes her a powerful adversary when it comes to hand-to-hand fighting, especially with her unique, dance-like style. She wants to become a more skilled illusionist and better her own mind from mental attacks, and has requested Tsumiki's help on the matter.
-
Dance Magic: Though she's aware she has inherited it, Ekibe hasn't awoken to it's power yet, and lacks the time to dedicate herself to it. All she knows about it for now is that it creates mysterious lights around her when she dances.
-
Gateway: The Gateway is an interesting kind of magic, as Ekibe has no real idea as to why she can even access it. At a moment's notice Ekibe can summon a portal to another plane of existence, in which lay a realm of an endless autumn sunset. There is a small, abandoned cottage which she uses as a getaway home. The place is extremely scenic and Ekibe uses it whenever she needs to calm herself. It's purpose is unknown, though works well as a training ground and area of relaxation. It requires her unwavering focus to open and maintain the portal there, so using it in combat for a getaway is out of the question. Additionally those which venture in MUST exit before the portal can close, and outside forces have occasionally made their way inside without Ekibe's approval.
Strengths: -
Extreme Magic Store: Ekibe, being the tank that she is, houses an impossibly high amount of magical energy inside of her. These incredible reserves of energy are what make her such a great illusionist despite being a rook, whose magical powers aren't usually so high. Combined with her physical aptitude as a demi-goddess and extra training she has put in, and it's clear to see why she's such a capable fighter.
-
Intelligence: Tactics is the name of the game for Ekibe. Despite being a powerhouse in her own right, she prefers engaging enemies on her own terms, and is great at tricking her opponents. Her keen sense for tactics allow a level head when it's needed and she can improvise at the worst of times. Her mind is more valuable to her than her body.
-
Focused: Ekibe has trained relentlessly to fight with her clones thoughts in mind. As such, she tends not to think too much in a fight and is incredibly focused. Her ability to counter is second-to-none, and her hand-eye coordination is staggeringly observant. As a scout she can relay messages to and from her clones, and her illusions can even be applied to herself to change others perspective of her and her clones.
Weaknesses: -
Instability: Despite her incredible smarts, Ekibe has a mental stability problem, which can lead to dangerous consequences if left unchecked. Her mind is fragile, and so illusions or mental attacks will leave her essentially out of commission. This is part of the reason why she's training in illusion magic. She's also been shown to get anxious in times of extreme pressure, and generally cannot think properly if left this way. Lastly, overuse of Ekibe's cloning can and will cause her mind to break. If she isn't able to desummon the clones then her mental state will deteriorate beyond insanity, leading to either permanent mental injury or a severe stroke.
-
Flightless: Despite Ekibe's induction as a demon, she can't seem to fly, whether she wishes to or not. This can be largely disadvantageous when it comes to escaping, as she lacks vertical mobility. Her physical strength often makes up for this, however it won't in all cases.
-
Angel Lover: Her affinity with light is so high that it's something of a beacon for Angels of both kinds in the vicinity, though due typically this refers to Fallen Angels. She's hard-pressed to hide when her entire being radiates a corrupted light.
-
Prone to Emotions: At the threat of those she cares about, Ekibe can become hotheaded. Her emotions tend to take over at the worst possible times, which lead to great improvisation, but a horrible sense of judgement. If she can help it she will shield those she cares about with her own body, or give everything she has to save someone else. She's been trying to get this under control for awhile now, but with little success...
-
Absent-Minded: Because of her incredible focus in battle, Ekibe may overlook outside intervention or orders being made to her without her knowing. She tends to make herself the one that listens to orders and lets her clones do most of the fighting, however if it comes down to it she may get wrapped into the fight too much. Make sure you can get her attention with something.
Personality: Ekibe Djeserit is quite the femme fetale when she tries. She has the charming self-confidence to back up her admirable figure, and tends to act the part a majority of the time. Both men and women alike just can't seem to get enough of the succubus in disguise, and she likes having all that attention.
Emotional, poetic, and smart, Ekibe puts up an impressive front of greatness. Yet deep within herself she buries her troubles, only ever expressing them when she's alone, beyond the Gateway. She finds great pleasure in teasing others, yet preserves her womanhood for the future. Always thinking ahead, nothing she does is ever without careful consideration unless she's particularly emotional, and often leave people thinking she's planning to do something. She has a diehard devotion to her mother, seeing to a personal shrine and praying for her well-being, while also supporting her father's catholic views. She's an odd girl with an odd life, yet she wouldn't have it any other way.
She enjoys sports and other physical activities, especially dancing. However, secretly she is something of an otaku, always up-to-date with the latest anime and having a truly enormous collection of video games. Somehow she performs well at school, despite her gaming addiction, though cares enough for her education to take time away from games to complete her assignments. She enjoys food a lot too, and has her own personal stash inside the clubroom. Speaking of the club, its members get the privilege of seeing her true self rather than her femme fatale act, which has already lead to a few shenanigans regarding food, video games and the like.
History: Ekibe has always been followed by the setting sun. She was born to it, her mother is the embodiment of it, and she died to it.
Ekibe Djeserit is Egyptian-Japanese by blood, raised in Yatsushiro, Japan. Her father fell in love with a young beauty on his visit to Egypt, the two supporting a long-distance relationship for several years, before she eventually moved to Japan. The two got engaged, married, and soon thereafter bore their first and only child: Ekibe.
Yet the day after her birth, Hathor, the true name of Ekibe's mother, disappeared.
It didn't take long for Ekibe's father to discover she wasn't normal, though kept it under wraps. Ever since she was young she would dance, and whenever she did a certain aura filled the room, reminding him of the goddess which he fell in love with. He raised Ekibe and taught her the values of the catholic church, infusing her with a holy spirit. He was a priest and worked on exorcising devils, not that Ekibe knew that, and was even the wielder of a holy sword. It wasn't long at all before Ekibe's first clone split from her, a mess which took much longer to reverse than it had come about. From exorcisms to asking it nicely, her father tried everything to make the clone go away. After a fight broke out with her other self, Ekibe's clone disappeared, and she soon began to notice just how easy it was to duplicate herself. Her father didn't know why she had been gifted with this ability, however being the humble person he was didn't make much of a fuss over it.
When Ekibe turned 16, it was revealed to her by her mother of the mysterious gifts the young Djeserit girl held within her, when she accessed the Gateway after a terrible breakup. When her father received news of this, he revealed some secrets of his own and telling the whole truth behind many of the things behind Ekibe's past, as well as her father's true profession:
An exorcist.
Her father trained his daughter in the ways of an exorcist, at her own request, sacrificing a year's worth of school to better herself. By the end of the year she had progressed to become a fairly decent CQC fighter, dabbling in a few different martial arts, though most of which revolving around Judo's self-defence and mere kick-boxing. Additionally her illusionist powers also had come about after her mother's reveal, and Ekibe began her practice with that, her father offering himself to her mastery of mystical talents. Though she would need to repeat a year, it was worth it in her eyes to become more like her father.
Unfortunately, five months before the present day, Ekibe lost her father to the wrath of a stray exorcist and Fallen Angel. The two were planning on converting her father into a stray, however he remained steadfast, shattering their expectations. The price to pay was death, and they wasted no time in cutting down her father right before her eyes. Naturally, once he was dead, Ekibe was next.
The young woman ran and ran, as fast and as long as her legs would allow, however pretty soon she couldn't keep up. The Fallen Angel had kept on her trail the whole time, and wasted little time in leaving her to die with a gaping wound in her heart. Despite her clones, he was able to follow a trail right to her - a trail of a most holy spirit. It was then, alone and with a burning desire for vengeance, that her current master -- Tsumiki -- appeared. With no other choice but to deny her former self in return for another chance, Ekibe took the offer and became a reincarnated devil. In those five months she has become a well-loved client around town and has personally asked Tsumiki himself for tutelage in illusion magic, as well as become an obedient rook.
