Hidden In Your Heart ~ Soul of Drifter
It's easy to say that he is naught but a normal person on the outside. But there is a reason as to why he is still living despite having a Metavirus inside him that should have killed him seven years ago. Why the aforementioned Metavirus gained it's own conscience, ultimately becoming a second personality... life, residing inside him, even becoming the single most deadly weapon he could wield with his bare hand. Why he is capable of actually utilizing Kotoka Youma's own abilities as his own, able to call the half-phantom to his side whenever and wherever he wishes to, and able to bring himself to her side without any restriction whatsoever.

All this is because of his soul.

The composition of Seth's soul is... not normal. It's not something that can be easily detected or seen by anyone or any conventional means. In fact, not even Seth himself seemed to realize this, but his soul is... dynamic, may be the best word for it. It's adaptive, receptive to outside changes... very much so to the point it could physically manifest itself into things no one would expect.

Just to note though, he has no way of directly utilizing it for his own benefit. Not to mention having no actual knowledge of this latent ability. So far everything that has happened that involved this abnormality of his soul were entirely spontaneous. To put it simply, this power requires a catalyst, anything for... well, to do anything, really. Without them... it's just an empty meaningless soul of Seth Ryouga.

...Oh, did I mention he sold his soul to a certain Demon God of Wind Pazuzu?

Metavirus V ~ I Trust Him More Than Anyone Else
The ultimate artificial biological creation initially designed to be a silent viral killer with multi-functional properties... except it was discreetly modified to deal with something more. To draw out the 'great untapped potential' of a human being. Various randomly selected subjects have had the Metavirus tested on them to terrible failures with fatal ends... Except for one: Seth Ryouga, whom, curiously enough, still survived until this very day despite everything that was said about his inevitable quick death.

Finally, we can explain why.

Thanks to the Metavirus' ability to draw out the 'untapped potential' of human being interacting with the anomaly of his soul, somehow, one way or another, the moment the Metavirus entered his system, a new conscience was born inside him. A mind very much separate from his own, capable of performing it's own judgement and experience feelings and emotion... effectively that of a second personality, a second... person, inside him. Apparently related to the Metavirus inside him, this 'second personality' gave itself a name... V.

The active conscience of V himself overrode the Metavirus' programmed function, and, quite literally by sheer willpower, took control of all the Metavirus' biological function down to cellular level to the point that Seth is capable of utilizing the Metavirus for his own benefit via V. To put it simply, Metavirus V is capable of performing extremely complex job of altering and manipulating Seth's biological component to terrifyingly efficient degrees, resulting in an exponential increase in physical capability reaching the territory of a top-notch superhuman. In fact, barring the fact that this may sound a bit over his head, Seth himself has absolutely no problem claiming to be "The strongest fighter in the school,"

It's a bold claim, but not an empty one. Various events in the past have proved the inhuman extent of his power, surpassing even that of a good number of supernatural beings.

That's not the end of it. Remember how the Metavirus was originally designed with the intent to kill? The dark grim nature of the Metavirus manifested itself as an ability exclusive for V himself, a high resistance to any mental based assault, but especially effective against negativity-based psych.

...Of course, as powerful as he is... a human body is still a human body. Nothing comes for free. For such a great power, there is an equally great cost... A fatal one at that. Did I ever mention? At one point just a while back... V's soul had been gravely destroyed by Youma herself, leaving only a shreds of a now very volatile and dangerously unstable soul. Not to mention when it's mixed with Seth's own highly receptive soul it... changes him, whenever there is a strong surge of feelings, emotion or willpower from either of them. And not a good kind of change too, considering the somewhat dark nature of the Metavirus... And the fact that it only gets harder and harder to resist any changes does not help matter.

By the end of it all, Metavirus V was, and still is, a time bomb, just waiting for the right moment to destroy Seth Ryouga.

Half-Phantom Kotoka Youma ~ I Treasure Her More Than Anyone Else
When the two first met each other at the shrine, they were no more than simple acquaintances. An immortal half-phantom forever bound to the world, Seth Ryouga, under the tutelage of Selene Frostfire, had agreed to help her break free from her curse and return her back to a full human being. And as part of their lesson, Selene forced the two to perform a ritual that would form a Master-Servant Contract between Seth and Youma.

It was a small unintentional spark that formed a bond between two people far stronger than any other.

That one spark began a catalytic reaction with Seth's own highly adaptive soul, and over time, the Master-Servant Contract began to form a bond between the two, to the point where it became strong enough to even dissolve and replace the Contract itself.

The bond between the two gave a two-way benefit, as opposed to the Master-Servant Contract that only benefited Youma. The strong bond between the two allows Seth to summon the half-phantom Youma to his side, from wherever and whenever he wishes without any drawbacks, as well as summoning himself to her side at his call, ignoring any distance restriction between the two. In fact, it has even been demonstrated to be able to cross through different dimension and even a different timeline entirely.

And for something entirely new, Seth is now capable of directly summoning Youma's signature weapons, Hakurouken and Roukanken, for his own use without a need for Youma's proxy. Hakurouken, the White-Tower Sword, is a katana that is said to be able to dispel confusion and illusion by literally cutting through it. Roukanken, the Watchtower Sword, is a nodachi said to have been forged by the Youkais, and cannot be wielded by normal humans, mainly because of it's massive spiritual density.

Being weapons that are quite literally materialized from the soul of the user themselves, the swords main characteristic is their ability to directly harm and destroy souls, cutting through them as good as any flesh and bone. Their strength, sharpness and durability are highly dependent on the mentality and willpower of the user. While being very good at cutting things both physical and spiritual in nature, the swords can be willed to become purely ethereal, maximizing its innate destructive power (for as long as Seth wills it, reminder that it's highly dependent on his state of mind and will) against spiritual subjects or anything similar. At the same time, it renders the swords completely useless against anything of the physical plane. It's impossible for the swords to convert between the two phases while being in direct contact with other similar spiritual energy.

The swords, while usually can be considered virtually indestructible, does seem to be able to be broken under extreme pressure and stress, especially when Seth's own mental state is at stake. Naturally, reforming new ones would end up with a much weaker version, often an indirect result of Seth's dropping willpower, especially in a prolonged fight. Aside from that though, for as long as Seth can push himself, he can very easily dispel and resummon them as much as he wants.

Just... one small note though. As durable as Hakurouken and Roukanken may be, they tend to... not be able to handle the stress when being used alongside Seth's own raw titanic strength. More often than not, failure to regulate his own strength when using Hakurouken and Roukanken would break them. Usually happens whenever his emotions get the better of him.

Xiuying Zhuge ~ I Admire Her More Than Anyone Else
This... had a pretty sad backstory behind it. Xiuying Zhuge was a daughter from Shanghai of China whom transferred to Hyakuji High. She wasn't an ordinary girl, just like everyone else here. In her case, she has made a wish to a certain Witch of Dreams, and in exchange, gave her soul to the Witch, thus making her entire life a big empty existence.

She had a dream, and that was to become the greatest journalist in the world... ever. But with her soul no longer hers, and her life ended up amounting to nothing more than just a few years worth of empty pointless silly play, then what's the point of even living anymore?

She did not have that thought though. Not a single sign or trace of resignation and despair ever crossed her mind, not even once. Despite the prospect of her life burning out in just a few short years looming behind her, never once did she ever show a sign of weakness, never once did she ever decide life is meaningless. Instead, in her very own words, if she's going to have only a few years left to live, then she is going to make sure that every single second of it is filled with nothing but happiness and fulfillment! Nothing good will happen if she keeps despairing over an inevitability, so why worry in the first place?

It was then that Seth met her, learning about her situation while being separated by a veil in a confession booth hosted by the Newspaper Club created by Zhuge herself at the School's Festival. It was incredulous for him to actually find someone who is actually in the same boat as he is. But what's even more incredible was... how could someone as rude, imposing, annoyingly loud and cheerful as that Shanghai Girl... how did she manage to gain admiration from him?

It was simply her relentless determination, her undying will to continue living her life and the incredible strength she actually managed to muster to keep that bright sunshine of a smile on her face regardless of what's haunting her from behind. It was something that Seth himself had never been successful in doing, and it was something that garnered much respect and admiration from the young man. It was heart-wrenching when the time came that he would never see her smiling face ever again.

Xiuying Zhuge may have been completely wiped out of existence, but for all he cared about the Shanghai Girl still lives on in the Newspaper Bureau now run by a new person, and in his heart. Despite the short time they had known each other, she had left quite an impact on his soul. A strong, very powerful and unbroken resolve that will surface itself whenever he calls for it, a sense of solid conviction that will guide him to finish whatever task he had set himself to do, regardless of anything standing against him.

Equipment You Have:

Arcadia Uniform: A uniform obtained after his recruitment in Arcadia with special properties. Can only be used during Arcadia missions though.
Aki's Fedora: ... What? It's a fedora. He has to return it one of these days...
Narumi's Hat: This trendy white fedora has the hard boiled power to cancel any single attack so long as the fedora connects with the attack. However, after doing so and cooly putting it back upon your head a script error will find you no longer wearing it in the next camera angle and the hat vanished forever in a moment of poor continuity. Until its use it can, of course, still be worn and grants +20 style points to the wearer.
Kamigami Brush: This enchanted paintbrush is infused with cosmic power. When dabbed with paint the User may then create any single thing they wish and the power of the brush shall create it into existence. How useful this is remains totally upon the User's choice. Unfortunately, such great power is too much to be held within a mere brush of wood and after one use the Kamigami Brush snaps and disintegrates.
River City Ransom Demo x2: They're on their way to the top! With the band's transfer to Hyakuji, the students in River City Ransom laid down a demo album to progress their career. Promo copies were handed out to all their new friends at Hyakuji High School as a thanks for redeeming them and welcoming them to their school after all they had done. When a student listens to this demo (whether that be by having it as a cd or on a mp3 player) they are filled with the same passion that the band used during the final battle and may copy one of the abilities the band used.
Hakurouken and Roukanken: Hakurouken, the White-Tower Sword, is a katana that is said to be able to dispel confusion and illusion by literally cutting through it. Roukanken, the Watchtower Sword, is a nodachi said to have been forged by the Youkais, and cannot be wielded by normal humans, mainly because of it's massive spiritual density. Originally belonging to Youma.
Time Stone Fragment: A minor shard that remains from the wish granted by the seven Times Stones prompting them to shatter and spread about the timeline until they are once again fated to reform. While the fragment only holds a mere sliver of one's original power, it can still grant the wish for help by summoning a great person throughout time.
Liquid Courage: A collection of The Beast's blood. When consumed, grants the user an indomitable will, that cannot be shaken for the entire topic.
WDA Master Key: A key given to him by Jameson B. Willicott that grants him access to everything in the WDA Tower. Though considering the building itself is no longer in use, he doesn't really find any use of the key anymore. Besides occasionally sneaking out their bikes for his own use.
Bakers Expense Card: An expense card given to him by Jameson B. Willicott. Not really used much and it lay forgotten at the bottom of the drawer of his study desk.
Master-Servant Contract: A magical contract that binds Seth and Youma Kotoka in a master and servant relationship, with him as the master. It allows him to summon Youma from anywhere, anytime regardless of the situation or condition. It also allows him to share his mana with Youma, giving her a boost in her abilities. Replaced by Soul Link.
Files of V: A file containing information about the powerful virus residing in Seth's body. Last seen handed to Jameson Willicott.
Bat Shot V2 (was broken and fixed): A Bat Shot replica made by Beaumont Willicott. It can take pictures and capture videos AND it can transform into an automated mechanical bat! Can also be remote controlled by his phone! Nifty Christmas present, don't you think? Gifted to Xiuying Zhuge.
Self-Geas Binding Spell: To put it simply, he's holding Cassandra Flores on a leash. As long as the spell is active, she will be unable to use any kind of weaponry unless he allows it. The only way to lift the spell in its entirety is either, he recites a haiku, or he dies, falls into a coma, or be unable to speak. Lifted.
Ace Card: Your favorite Duel Monsters card: of a monster of course. This monster is the linchpin of your strategy or perhaps even the favored "Boss Monster" that seals your victory. Mysteriously, this card grants you the ability to see and interact with the Spirit of the Duel Monster on the card. While it is capable of dialogue and conversation, it cannot directly interact with anything at all; physical, spiritual or otherwise. However, in a single thread for one time only, your passion from dueling can unleash the Spirit manifesting it in the real world. For the remainder of the thread, your Ace Card will support your every effort. Afterwards, while the card remains intact and you can still interact with the Duel Monster, the ability to summon it forth has been lost forever. Seth has the Rose, Warrior of Revenge card.
Drill of Courage: An Ancient Drill found in the ruins located on Mu. It is small enough to be worn as the charm on a necklace. When held in ones hand and focused upon the Drill will reactivate and degerate to ash as it infuses the user with Spiral Energy allowing them to transcend their normal limits and make the impossible possible. One Time Use.
Anything that belongs to Youma: What's hers belongs to him

Residency: Room 413 of Yuki Dormitory


Schedule:
Homeroom Teacher: Lavender
  • Literature
  • Phys Ed
  • Cooking


Personality Description:

Most often seen as someone akin to that of a grumpy old man who doesn't like anything, he is a person who finds love in peace and quiet, and would often snap at the slightest form of loud noise and disturbance. If he's not too lazy to actually move, that is. Otherwise, you can always expect a lamppost or one of those big red mailbox to fly over your head as a warning shot.

That being said, He is someone who will not hesitate to resort to force whenever required to prove his point. He is not above to using threats of physical violence to get things done his way, and it helps that he actually DOES have the ability to hold his words true. His solution to problems are simple, however inelegant or crude they may be. But actual use of force is only reserved for when initial method that ranges from trickery to bluffs or quick wits doesn't work. Yes, his sense of ethic can be questionable sometimes.

While he prefers not to be caught up in complicated or troublesome situation, he does however enjoy solving riddles and puzzles as entertainment. He enjoys the mental challenge, calling it a 'good practice since he stopped working as a detective'.

Personal History:

If anyone decides to look into his history, they would find that there is nothing about him that would be of interest. Not much anyway. In fact, one could very easily compare him to your most average of all average student living in Tokyo.

Honestly, it's hardly about him in most situation. It's about the people around him, and from way back then, it also includes the one inside him.



Interesting and possibly useful tidbits...
 

~ V's soul was majorly destroyed by Youma herself with her swords, making V's consciousness dangerously unstable and at risk of being a danger to Seth's own mentality. It's currently the main reason why he never interacts much with Seth as of late.

~ In turn, with the weakening of V's soul it's getting harder to override the Metavirus' original function. Only time will tell when the Metavirus will finally overpower V's consciousness and destroy Seth after all this time...

~ Seth sold his soul to Pazuzu in exchange for Jonny to be freed from his own justice-driven madness. Currently kept as a secret from Jonny himself, but who knows...

~ So the first person who created Meta-Virus V actually made contact with Seth. Nothing serious so far, aside from just saying hello. And watching him like a guinea pig that he is. ...And inviting him into some funny little private online chatroom group called Metro.





Mashed Potatoes?

Powers/ Abilities:

Hidden In Your Heart ~ Soul of Drifter
It's easy to say that he is naught but a normal person on the outside. But there is a reason as to why he is still living despite having a Metavirus inside him that should have killed him seven years ago. Why the aforementioned Metavirus gained it's own conscience, ultimately becoming a second personality... life, residing inside him, even becoming the single most deadly weapon he could wield with his bare hand. Why he is capable of actually utilizing Kotoka Youma's own abilities as his own, able to call the half-phantom to his side whenever and wherever he wishes to, and able to bring himself to her side without any restriction whatsoever.

All this is because of his soul.

The composition of Seth's soul is... not normal. It's not something that can be easily detected or seen by anyone or any conventional means. In fact, not even Seth himself seemed to realize this, but his soul is... dynamic, may be the best word for it. It's adaptive, receptive to outside changes... very much so to the point it could physically manifest itself into things no one would expect.

Just to note though, he has no way of directly utilizing it for his own benefit. Not to mention having no actual knowledge of this latent ability. So far everything that has happened that involved this abnormality of his soul were entirely spontaneous. To put it simply, this power requires a catalyst, anything for... well, to do anything, really. Without them... it's just an empty meaningless soul of Seth Ryouga.

...Oh, did I mention he sold his soul to a certain Demon God of Wind Pazuzu?

Metavirus V ~ I Trust Him More Than Anyone Else
The ultimate artificial biological creation initially designed to be a silent viral killer with multi-functional properties... except it was discreetly modified to deal with something more. To draw out the 'great untapped potential' of a human being. Various randomly selected subjects have had the Metavirus tested on them to terrible failures with fatal ends... Except for one: Seth Ryouga, whom, curiously enough, still survived until this very day despite everything that was said about his inevitable quick death.

Finally, we can explain why.

Thanks to the Metavirus' ability to draw out the 'untapped potential' of human being interacting with the anomaly of his soul, somehow, one way or another, the moment the Metavirus entered his system, a new conscience was born inside him. A mind very much separate from his own, capable of performing it's own judgement and experience feelings and emotion... effectively that of a second personality, a second... person, inside him. Apparently related to the Metavirus inside him, this 'second personality' gave itself a name... V.

The active conscience of V himself overrode the Metavirus' programmed function, and, quite literally by sheer willpower, took control of all the Metavirus' biological function down to cellular level to the point that Seth is capable of utilizing the Metavirus for his own benefit via V. To put it simply, Metavirus V is capable of performing extremely complex job of altering and manipulating Seth's biological component to terrifyingly efficient degrees, resulting in an exponential increase in physical capability reaching the territory of a top-notch superhuman. In fact, barring the fact that this may sound a bit over his head, Seth himself has absolutely no problem claiming to be "The strongest fighter in the school,"

It's a bold claim, but not an empty one. Various events in the past have proved the inhuman extent of his power, surpassing even that of a good number of supernatural beings.

That's not the end of it. Remember how the Metavirus was originally designed with the intent to kill? The dark grim nature of the Metavirus manifested itself as an ability exclusive for V himself, a high resistance to any mental based assault, but especially effective against negativity-based psych.

...Of course, as powerful as he is... a human body is still a human body. Nothing comes for free. For such a great power, there is an equally great cost... A fatal one at that. Did I ever mention? At one point just a while back... V's soul had been gravely destroyed by Youma herself, leaving only a shreds of a now very volatile and dangerously unstable soul. Not to mention when it's mixed with Seth's own highly receptive soul it... changes him, whenever there is a strong surge of feelings, emotion or willpower from either of them. And not a good kind of change too, considering the somewhat dark nature of the Metavirus... And the fact that it only gets harder and harder to resist any changes does not help matter.

By the end of it all, Metavirus V was, and still is, a time bomb, just waiting for the right moment to destroy Seth Ryouga.

Half-Phantom Kotoka Youma ~ I Treasure Her More Than Anyone Else
When the two first met each other at the shrine, they were no more than simple acquaintances. An immortal half-phantom forever bound to the world, Seth Ryouga, under the tutelage of Selene Frostfire, had agreed to help her break free from her curse and return her back to a full human being. And as part of their lesson, Selene forced the two to perform a ritual that would form a Master-Servant Contract between Seth and Youma.

It was a small unintentional spark that formed a bond between two people far stronger than any other.

That one spark began a catalytic reaction with Seth's own highly adaptive soul, and over time, the Master-Servant Contract began to form a bond between the two, to the point where it became strong enough to even dissolve and replace the Contract itself.

The bond between the two gave a two-way benefit, as opposed to the Master-Servant Contract that only benefited Youma. The strong bond between the two allows Seth to summon the half-phantom Youma to his side, from wherever and whenever he wishes without any drawbacks, as well as summoning himself to her side at his call, ignoring any distance restriction between the two. In fact, it has even been demonstrated to be able to cross through different dimension and even a different timeline entirely.

And for something entirely new, Seth is now capable of directly summoning Youma's signature weapons, Hakurouken and Roukanken, for his own use without a need for Youma's proxy. Hakurouken, the White-Tower Sword, is a katana that is said to be able to dispel confusion and illusion by literally cutting through it. Roukanken, the Watchtower Sword, is a nodachi said to have been forged by the Youkais, and cannot be wielded by normal humans, mainly because of it's massive spiritual density.

Being weapons that are quite literally materialized from the soul of the user themselves, the swords main characteristic is their ability to directly harm and destroy souls, cutting through them as good as any flesh and bone. Their strength, sharpness and durability are highly dependent on the mentality and willpower of the user. While being very good at cutting things both physical and spiritual in nature, the swords can be willed to become purely ethereal, maximizing its innate destructive power (for as long as Seth wills it, reminder that it's highly dependent on his state of mind and will) against spiritual subjects or anything similar. At the same time, it renders the swords completely useless against anything of the physical plane. It's impossible for the swords to convert between the two phases while being in direct contact with other similar spiritual energy.

The swords, while usually can be considered virtually indestructible, does seem to be able to be broken under extreme pressure and stress, especially when Seth's own mental state is at stake. Naturally, reforming new ones would end up with a much weaker version, often an indirect result of Seth's dropping willpower, especially in a prolonged fight. Aside from that though, for as long as Seth can push himself, he can very easily dispel and resummon them as much as he wants.

Just... one small note though. As durable as Hakurouken and Roukanken may be, they tend to... not be able to handle the stress when being used alongside Seth's own raw titanic strength. More often than not, failure to regulate his own strength when using Hakurouken and Roukanken would break them. Usually happens whenever his emotions get the better of him.

Xiuying Zhuge ~ I Admire Her More Than Anyone Else
This... had a pretty sad backstory behind it. Xiuying Zhuge was a daughter from Shanghai of China whom transferred to Hyakuji High. She wasn't an ordinary girl, just like everyone else here. In her case, she has made a wish to a certain Witch of Dreams, and in exchange, gave her soul to the Witch, thus making her entire life a big empty existence.

She had a dream, and that was to become the greatest journalist in the world... ever. But with her soul no longer hers, and her life ended up amounting to nothing more than just a few years worth of empty pointless silly play, then what's the point of even living anymore?

She did not have that thought though. Not a single sign or trace of resignation and despair ever crossed her mind, not even once. Despite the prospect of her life burning out in just a few short years looming behind her, never once did she ever show a sign of weakness, never once did she ever decide life is meaningless. Instead, in her very own words, if she's going to have only a few years left to live, then she is going to make sure that every single second of it is filled with nothing but happiness and fulfillment! Nothing good will happen if she keeps despairing over an inevitability, so why worry in the first place?

It was then that Seth met her, learning about her situation while being separated by a veil in a confession booth hosted by the Newspaper Club created by Zhuge herself at the School's Festival. It was incredulous for him to actually find someone who is actually in the same boat as he is. But what's even more incredible was... how could someone as rude, imposing, annoyingly loud and cheerful as that Shanghai Girl... how did she manage to gain admiration from him?

It was simply her relentless determination, her undying will to continue living her life and the incredible strength she actually managed to muster to keep that bright sunshine of a smile on her face regardless of what's haunting her from behind. It was something that Seth himself had never been successful in doing, and it was something that garnered much respect and admiration from the young man. It was heart-wrenching when the time came that he would never see her smiling face ever again.

Xiuying Zhuge may have been completely wiped out of existence, but for all he cared about the Shanghai Girl still lives on in the Newspaper Bureau now run by a new person, and in his heart. Despite the short time they had known each other, she had left quite an impact on his soul. A strong, very powerful and unbroken resolve that will surface itself whenever he calls for it, a sense of solid conviction that will guide him to finish whatever task he had set himself to do, regardless of anything standing against him.

Equipment You Have:

Arcadia Uniform: A uniform obtained after his recruitment in Arcadia with special properties. Can only be used during Arcadia missions though.
Aki's Fedora: ... What? It's a fedora. He has to return it one of these days...
Narumi's Hat: This trendy white fedora has the hard boiled power to cancel any single attack so long as the fedora connects with the attack. However, after doing so and cooly putting it back upon your head a script error will find you no longer wearing it in the next camera angle and the hat vanished forever in a moment of poor continuity. Until its use it can, of course, still be worn and grants +20 style points to the wearer.
Kamigami Brush: This enchanted paintbrush is infused with cosmic power. When dabbed with paint the User may then create any single thing they wish and the power of the brush shall create it into existence. How useful this is remains totally upon the User's choice. Unfortunately, such great power is too much to be held within a mere brush of wood and after one use the Kamigami Brush snaps and disintegrates.
River City Ransom Demo x2: They're on their way to the top! With the band's transfer to Hyakuji, the students in River City Ransom laid down a demo album to progress their career. Promo copies were handed out to all their new friends at Hyakuji High School as a thanks for redeeming them and welcoming them to their school after all they had done. When a student listens to this demo (whether that be by having it as a cd or on a mp3 player) they are filled with the same passion that the band used during the final battle and may copy one of the abilities the band used.
Hakurouken and Roukanken: Hakurouken, the White-Tower Sword, is a katana that is said to be able to dispel confusion and illusion by literally cutting through it. Roukanken, the Watchtower Sword, is a nodachi said to have been forged by the Youkais, and cannot be wielded by normal humans, mainly because of it's massive spiritual density. Originally belonging to Youma.
Time Stone Fragment: A minor shard that remains from the wish granted by the seven Times Stones prompting them to shatter and spread about the timeline until they are once again fated to reform. While the fragment only holds a mere sliver of one's original power, it can still grant the wish for help by summoning a great person throughout time.
Liquid Courage: A collection of The Beast's blood. When consumed, grants the user an indomitable will, that cannot be shaken for the entire topic.
WDA Master Key: A key given to him by Jameson B. Willicott that grants him access to everything in the WDA Tower. Though considering the building itself is no longer in use, he doesn't really find any use of the key anymore. Besides occasionally sneaking out their bikes for his own use.
Bakers Expense Card: An expense card given to him by Jameson B. Willicott. Not really used much and it lay forgotten at the bottom of the drawer of his study desk.
Master-Servant Contract: A magical contract that binds Seth and Youma Kotoka in a master and servant relationship, with him as the master. It allows him to summon Youma from anywhere, anytime regardless of the situation or condition. It also allows him to share his mana with Youma, giving her a boost in her abilities. Replaced by Soul Link.
Files of V: A file containing information about the powerful virus residing in Seth's body. Last seen handed to Jameson Willicott.
Bat Shot V2 (was broken and fixed): A Bat Shot replica made by Beaumont Willicott. It can take pictures and capture videos AND it can transform into an automated mechanical bat! Can also be remote controlled by his phone! Nifty Christmas present, don't you think? Gifted to Xiuying Zhuge.
Self-Geas Binding Spell: To put it simply, he's holding Cassandra Flores on a leash. As long as the spell is active, she will be unable to use any kind of weaponry unless he allows it. The only way to lift the spell in its entirety is either, he recites a haiku, or he dies, falls into a coma, or be unable to speak. Lifted.
Ace Card: Your favorite Duel Monsters card: of a monster of course. This monster is the linchpin of your strategy or perhaps even the favored "Boss Monster" that seals your victory. Mysteriously, this card grants you the ability to see and interact with the Spirit of the Duel Monster on the card. While it is capable of dialogue and conversation, it cannot directly interact with anything at all; physical, spiritual or otherwise. However, in a single thread for one time only, your passion from dueling can unleash the Spirit manifesting it in the real world. For the remainder of the thread, your Ace Card will support your every effort. Afterwards, while the card remains intact and you can still interact with the Duel Monster, the ability to summon it forth has been lost forever. Seth has the Rose, Warrior of Revenge card.
Drill of Courage: An Ancient Drill found in the ruins located on Mu. It is small enough to be worn as the charm on a necklace. When held in ones hand and focused upon the Drill will reactivate and degerate to ash as it infuses the user with Spiral Energy allowing them to transcend their normal limits and make the impossible possible. One Time Use.
Anything that belongs to Youma: What's hers belongs to him
