Name:: Eli Bladesong

Age:: 18 (DOB: May 5th, 1989)

Gender:: Male

School:: Anime High School

Grade:: 12

Race:: Half-demon (half-human/quarter-demon/quarter-kitsune)

Themesongs::
Main Theme: Nightwish - Cadence Of Her Last Breath (Orchestral)
Combat Theme: Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain
Rage Theme: Nightwish - Seven Days To The Wolves
Shinsoku's Theme: Nightwish - Dark Chest Of Wonders

Appearance/Clothing:: It is now rare to see Eli without something covering the majority of his features. True to his fashion sense, there are very few different outfits that he actually wears. Above all else, Eli deigns to wear a black tunic, simple and form-fitting, that covers all of his arms and chest. Complete with a simple black silk belt and a pair of black pants, Eli sees no reason to conceal that which is natural for him; those abnormal features adorning his body.

Standing at a reasonable five feet and seven inches, and weighing in at 145 pounds, Eli bears a strength that he appears not to have upon his well-defined frame - however, it is not physical strength he bears alone. His skin is somewhat dark, and should you run your hand up his skin, you can feel the fact his skin is rather solid, and almost in plates. His face begins with tufts of downwards-pointing black hair, thick yet soft. His eyes are average-sized with crimson irises, much like that of the normal human. His nose is sort of small, but that does not mean his sense of smell is bad - on the contrary, it's still good. His mouth can usually be seen in what would be considered to be thinking - pointed downwards while not angry. His teeth are almost all canines. Perched on the sides of his head are two soft, orange-brown fox ears.

Eli has two mismatched arms. His right arm is purely natural, made of the usual skin that adorns his body; however, the left is made of hyper-tensile steel, imbued with demon magic to feel much like the rest of his body, and contains a wide variety of tools and gadgets. The tips of his fingers and toes end in claws, roughly an inch long, replacing the fingernail on every finger, thumb and toe - and thus proves to be something of a problem when grasping certain items, though Eli has learned (for the most part) to ignore the pain. On the small of his back, there resides an orange and brown fox tail, that is roughly nineteen inches in length.

Eli carries a variety of equipment at any given time, aside from the basic armour he tends to wear. Normally, he prefers to carry his magical sword in a sheath at his left side, and a H&K USP handgun on his right hip, complete with three clips of ammunition; two carried in a pouch, one in the handgun itself. Occasionally, he carries other equipment, but this is his usual load-out; it depends on the objectives. Finally, he wears two pieces of jewellery - One is a ring on his left ring finger. This is a ring that appears to be woven out of lilies. A deep emerald green, it looks like flower stems were wrapped to make it. On the top, a lily is present, the same emerald green. The second is a necklace, a bronze sun with a red crystal in the centre.

Personality:: Time has weathered him, and experience has hardened him. Ever since he came to Anime High for the first time as a freshman, much has changed – no matter where he was. The fact that he is half a demon did not make that any easier; prone to bouts of cruelty and, in short, pure, malicious evil – at times, highly unstable and uncontrollable, even to himself - does not make his life any easier. As a result, he has learned to take great care when dealing with a situation. Now, he practises caution rather his time-old ‘rush in and get yourself killed as quickly as possible’ approach into a hostile situation. This has kept him alive during his newest bout of vanishing from Anime High, and he has learned from the experiences.

Once, he would not have opened up to a single person around him. Instead, he’s learned to express his emotions, not matter what they are. It allows him to get his point across better if he’s able to express everything he’s thinking and feeling, even though he can be more than slightly blunt more often that not – especially in a time of emergency. As such, he's much more of a fun-loving person now, generally amiable and cooperative with those around him. However, he does have a strong sense of justice and what is ‘right’, having seen the destructive side of demons, and lived amongst the humans, being able to tell the difference between good and evil readily. Willing to clash blades at any time with those causing the most major transgressions, Eli is one who fights until he can no longer raise his sword, regardless of how injured he is. He fights without any reservation, willing to take any open strike that comes his way. However, he will only fight when truly necessary – and will only take the life of someone who has taken lives themselves, or if he is put into a position where he is forced to kill. His training regimen is strict; no less than four hours a day, a lesson taught to him by his demon grandfather in the Makai.

However, not all Eli does is blood and killing. On the contrary; he does have a number of happy outlets. For one, he is an avid music lover, and uses his violin as an outlet for any number of his emotions, playing mostly in his spare time. Secondly, since he has gone, Eli has developed a flair for the theatrical – whether it is a production, or even him walking into a room, Eli does take some pride in making things at least somewhat amusing for everyone around, usually trying to keep those around him in high spirits. Of course, his moods occasionally – and very suddenly - turn dour, and that will change everything; he tends to gravitate towards quiet corners, and hush his tones as he speaks.

However, just as his moods change suddenly, there is one more thing to beware. As a sign of the fact he is half-demon, he will, occasionally, succumb to the darker half within. Most won’t even realise the change until he tries to kill everything around him; there is usually no sign of it. However, he will kill and kill with no remorse, with anything available to him. This is, of course, rare, but should it happen, chances are he needs to be stopped quickly before he can do too much damage.

When it comes to using his powers, Eli can occasionally be reluctant to do so. He will only use an ability when truly necessary, preferring to use an actual weapon to it – incase he causes unnecessary destruction, as well as keeping his powers hidden from prying eyes in a world where the meta is hated – and he, especially, would face a lot of prejudice, as a demon. He is not adverse to that fact, and spends a considerable amount of time wondering if he can possibly survive in this cruel world of humans who prefer their own kind - normal, not like he is.

Special Powers/Weapons::
Demon Racial Traits
Demon Senses: Eli's senses of smell, sight and hearing are enhanced. This is due to the fox-demon blood running through his veins; the sense of smell is nowhere near as pronounced as the sense of hearing, however, which is reasonably keen. However, these senses do not extend beyond the range of a normal human in terms of what can be detected; only the range and clarity is boosted. Eli's sense of sight is only enhanced in the darkness, where he can see considerably better than a normal human thanks to the fact his eyes adjust to light better, or lack thereof, in addition to being suited for the darkness.

Demon Speed: Eli's speed is a little more than that of a regular human, due to the powerful leg muscles he has and the natural grace and agility borne of demon-kind. Not so much pronounced at short distance, but it makes itself evident when it comes to long-distance running.

Elements: Demons tend to gravitate towards the elements of fire and darkness, and tend to gravitate towards heat and the darkness. However, the holy element will cause a demon to shriek and recoil more than normal, and cause more searing damage - given the typical polar opposition between good and evil - though not as pronounced as a full-blooded demon.

Weapons And Equipment
Kyuuketsuki (Bloodsucker): As the name might imply, Kyuuketsuki is a weapon that requires blood to work at its full potential. This sword was forged from Eli's hexa-elemental blade Ke'Nara, reduced to holding only two gems. Forged as a katana-type weapon, the blade is twenty-seven inches long, of hyper-tensile steel with the kanji of 'kyuuketsuki' engraved into the side of the blade. The hilt is round and golden with a red-tasseled wrap, about ten inches in length, with two gems forged into the pommel into the shape of a typical yin-yang symbol; a ruby, representing the element of fire, and a black pearl, representing the element of darkness.

The abilities of Kyuuketsuki are relatively simple. To activate them is a different story: first, the user must draw blood with the blade with a reasonable attack - self-mutilation will not work with the blade, unless the situation is dire and the will to use the weapon's abilities is overwhelmingly strong. Second, after blood has been spilled and within five minutes of doing so, an activation phrase for the separate abilities must be uttered, simplistic as they are: the sword's name, followed by 'honoo' or 'kage'. This will cut into one of two abilities:
- Honoo: Upon activation, the blade will be wreathed in an aura of searing flame that does not harm the user, that increases in strength with the blood drawn by the blade before activation. If only one strike has been made, the flame will be weak, enough to singe skin. Successive blood-drawing strikes will cause the strength of the heat to double.
- Kage: Upon activation, this bathes the area in billowing shadows that expand out from the blade, causing darkness. Much like the Flame ability, the strength of these shadows double with each blood-drawing strike. One strike is enough to cover a two metre squared area in shadow. The more blood that has been drawn, the darker it will be at the epicentre.

One thing to note is that sheathing the blade in any way will cause Kyuuketsuki's 'hit counter' to reset, thus keeping the blade under wraps and preventing a malicious being from abusing the weapon.

Sho'Krana Arm: The robotic arm Eli has for a left arm once held a variety of extremely strange and powerful gadgets: artificial intelligences and plasma cannons. As a result of Eli returning to his roots, he has exchanged most of it to devices that might come in handy in real emergencies, controlled by neuro-impulses, just like any regular arm. The arm itself is the result of demon magic and high technology; steel transmuted to synthetic flesh composes the outer layer, and crafted to be an exact replica of Eli's arm in terms of design. Internally, it has a a series of hydraulic joints and connections to allow the full range of motion as a regular human arm and hand, aside from granting a strength boost over a regular human - being able to lift and hold 50 pounds with some degree of difficulty. Eli does feel pain if this arm is damaged, albeit, not as much as with a normal arm.

On top of this, each finger contains a device that would make itself useful in an emergency situation. From index finger through to fifth finger, the hand mounts a thin two-inch blade, a high-power flashlight, a pair of small pliers, and a small self-rotating flat head screwdriver. For any of these tools to work, the claw on the finger splits in half horizontally, and the tool appears from within the finger.

Energy-Based Abilities:
Ki Manipulation: Having gained some rein over his ki after learning the basic form in a class with Ryu Musashi in which he learned to summon concentrated inner energy as ki, Eli has merged the 'youki' and 'reiki' abilites he once had. Now, he can use his energy as a multi-purpose weapon and defensive tool, as his main 'ability'. As pure energy, this can be manipulated into basic shapes. The energy itself is a pulsating light blue, that seems to be alive of its own accord. The energy involved is kinetic force-type energy, used mainly to knock targets around, and can cause bruising, and with enough concentration - usually around three seconds or so worth of pure, uninterrupted concentration - cause some internal bruising.

Duration-wise, Eli can use roughly twenty of these per day (give or take one or two uses depending on how far between these uses are), provided they last or charge no more than two seconds. Any longer, and they start eating up other energy uses; one use per two seconds.

The offensive shapes that Eli can form are:

  • A sphere no larger than one foot in diameter, maximum range twenty-five feet.
  • A cylindrical beam four inches in maximum diameter and a maximum of twenty feet in length, with maximum range twenty-five feet.
  • A crescent wave of energy with a maximum length of four feet, with a maximum range of twenty feet.

The defensive shapes Eli can form are:

  • A circular shield directly in front of him with a diameter of no more than three feet and a thickness of three inches.
  • A circular or square shield over his forearm, with a maximum thickness of half an inch.

Energy Sensing: As taught in a class with Ryu Musashi, Eli is able to sense the energy presences of beings. Currently, the range on this skill is a five-kilometre globe, and if Eli is familiar with the particular energy signature of a being, he will recognize it immediately. This skill is easily fooled, should one know how to mask their energy signature with basic energy masking techniques, or by having the ability to mimic another's energy signature.

The Realm: Eli, as part of forswearing the ability to return to the Makai - the demon realm - properly, has the ability to create a small dimension of his own. Akin to a kitsune's ability to create dimensions, this realm requires a large amount of energy and time to create, but can be shaped, internally, into a necessary form. This realm is part of the Makai, however, as it is its own separate section, one does not need to be of demonic blood to enter; however, the creator must permit the people who wish to enter access into the realm. This also requires a portal between the real world and the realm; using an object such as a grandfather clock or a door - in general, an object as large as the creator or larger - is required.

This realm has not as of yet been created.

Slipspace Storage: As part of forswearing the ability to return to Nydrai properly, Eli has created a small inter-dimensional storage space in the realm of Nydrai. First, Eli must expend a large amount of his own energy - generally, this cannot be done more than two times per day - and draw an intricate circle through the air, which is inscribed with twenty runes with his finger, before plunging his fist through the middle of the circle. This allows him to reach out of the material plane and into a storage area in Nydrai, which responds to his thoughts; if an item he requires is in the room, it will appear in his hand. Eli can also place items into the room if he is holding it. The inter-dimension gate is only closed by his thoughts - but the longer it remains up, the more energy it drains from Eli.

The obvious limitation is that only objects he can hold in one hand may pass through. Currently, the room is only storing a small variety of weapons, including a pair of H&K USP handguns with ammunition, a longsword and a small steel buckler.

History Before Arrival:: Eli lived, before coming to AHS, a very deceitful life...for the truth was always hidden from him. He was born and raised to believe he was totally human. This was not true. In actuality, his father was some form of man-whore, and hired a prostitute, who was actually a demon in disguised in a human form. Funnily enough, that demon bore a child, and that child was then sent to the Ningenkai, or human realm in the demon wording, and sent to be raised by his human father and the woman he had married right after hiring that prostitute.

And so it was Eli was raised by two human parents, both in the archaeological line of work. This meant Eli managed to get his hands on some very shiny artifacts. And they were all worth lots of money. As he grew older, things began to change for him.

At age ten, he discovered a sword in a ruin he had explored while his parents were on a dig site. It was a damn pretty sword too, and so he kept it, with his parents' blessing. He was allowed to learn swordfighting, as long as he did not ever test it on a living being unless they were training him. Fortunately, no person such as that came around. The sword was jeweled, and he spent many hours a day learning to use it.

At age twelve, he encountered an artifact of great value, but no use. And ironically, a small group of people contacted him as soon as he took it. These people were greatly interested in the artifact for it's scientific value. They offered him a position in their agency in exchange for the artifact. Eli gladly accepted; this agency was a global spy network of sorts. They had access to various global nets and used it to gather info. Eli received a state of the art computer for this task, knowing it would eventually come to be useful – forging his first global connections.

At age 13, Chir'Daki began developing powers: Telepathy, levitation and strange coloured glow, amongst other things. Eli was shocked by this and began training harder to keep up with his sword.

So it was that years passed, and a month after his 14th birthday, Eli's town was being ravaged by a demon. Feeling that he could take it, he wore his best combat robe, and openly challenged the demon. This was something he would never regret.

The two retreated to a lit cave, with a large room at the back. The battle raged fiercely, claw meeting blade as the swordsman and monster fought a bloody death duel to determine the fates of thousands. Blood was drawn, and a scar was left upon the cheek of the boy. And at that moment, he shattered the demon's body with a cleave so mighty that none would withstand. With that, Eli left, robe torn to shreds and blood trailing everywhere.

And as he returned home, he found the house empty. And he waited. Days passed...weeks....a month...three months. And that's when he snapped, and as chance would have it, heard about Anime High School. With that, came a hope of a new life. With that, he packed and left...

History After Arriving::
Chapter One
Eli’s early AHS life was rather turbulent. Rooming with a young girl by the name of Meiko Nagizawa, Eli was soon thrust into a reality of war. Befriending a variety of people – Tateo Minamino, Hareta Star, Johnny Rodz, Gengoro Kazamaru, to name a few – he soon learned the value of an ally, which he found in a boy named Relen Gartran. Chased around the globe by a shadowy organization known simply as the Hunters who wished nothing more than to take the sword he owned for examination, Eli had to learn to defend himself quickly. It was not long before he learned the horrors of the SAEMH, and their Power Men; sent to Santa Fe to rescue a group of students, Eli fought gallantly to rescue his friends – before losing his lover, Meiko, to the sands of time. It wasn’t long, however, before a group related to the Hunters caught up with Eli – Zell Tatri, another student and a ‘Dark Knight’, had been sent to stop him at all costs. Kidnapped, and taken to Jerusalem, Eli had his memory erased after his sword was destroyed.

From here, the journey became more arduous. Learning that Hareta Star was, in fact, his half-sister – and as such, he was a half-demon - his world turns around. However, it was during this time he came into contact with a separate realm with a tournament; the Ryoku Tournament, in which one was given a special power. He received the power of the Rose Knight, a set of stylized armour with a foil. In this place, he comes into contact with the mysterious mineral called ionite. This material leads him to more ionite on Earth, and the realization that he could use it as a power source. So saying, he developed a space-capable craft – the Excalibur. The first thing Eli does with this newfound power is return to Jerusalem to sift through the rubble of the Dark Knights’ base – and restore his memory, by destroying a demon named the Zairyoku. The shards of his old sword were recovered and re-forged into a blade known as Chir’daki.

From here, Eli begins a company with Relen – Darksphere Industries. This company ventures out into space – before being destroyed. At this time, Eli learns the secret of the demon realm known as the Makai, and begins exploring it – before staking his claim on a village after meeting his family. However, more realms are opened, and a trip to the plane of Kamigawa sees Relen’s death - killed when he jumped in front of an arrow that was to take Eli's life. It was not long, then, before war struck Darksphere; old enemies resurface to attack and destroy Eli. He loses a great many friends in the attack, though emerges victorious. At this time, he begins research into powered battlesuits for his friends; he gives one to Tateo. However, in a fit of rage on Eli’s part, Tateo severs his left arm in order to calm the demonic beast.

Stricken by grief, Eli starts to expand his claim on both the Makai and the Ningenkai – the human realm – by creating a fleet of warships and conquering the Makai by force. Violence ensues as he gives himself to the being known as Shinsoku, now with a semi-living left arm replacement. However, things change. With the incursion of an alien battlefleet into the Earth sphere, and an assault force of demons against the Prince-Emperor Archaon – an alias created by Shinsoku – Eli is beaten and defeated, all his holdings taken forcefully from him.

Thus, he had to find another way. Another friend – and romantic interest – Miya Saonji, traveled with Eli to a plane known as Nydrai through accident, both learning the arts of alchemy. As well, Eli takes a journey through the multi-faceted realm, forging for himself a blade of six elemental gems – Ke’Nara.

However, he decided to take some time out from it all, to repair his tattered, demonic soul and remove himself from his delusions of grandeur. He spent some time in Nydrai, re-forging his weaponry and refining his arts, and even making modifications to his arm. It was at that time he decided to return to Anime High, wondering what would be in store for him this time around, hoping that everyone he'd hurt would forgive him…

Chapter Two
Only shortly after Eli's return, he met a pretty young lady by the name of Diana, who seemed to be able to cater to whims he didn't even know he had. Whether this develops further remains to be seen.
