**Name:** Yu Matsunaga

**Age:** 24

**Gender:** Male

**Personality:** Yu is described as a gentle being, with an extremely warm heart. His eyes have a kindness to them, making him appear trustworthy to most who meet their gaze. Those who ask for his assistance shall receive it, for he isn’t one to immediately turn away those who ask for aid. He is conscientious of others, being a great listener to those that need to vent, and he always keeps others ahead of him, stranger or friend. Many pass him off as a naïve fool, completely unaware of those who prey on those such as him. However, no matter who tries to take advantage of him, Yu will continue to be the kind man that he is, for he believes acting selfish and petty can get you so far in life, before everything comes crumbling down before you.

As to making friends, Yu purposely tends to keep people from getting close to him, while he tries to not be emotionally invested in others. This is due to him growing up in an orphanage, where any friend he tended to make would leave him in a short notice. Rather than make friends while he was there, he instead took on more of a big brother role, caring for the other children as if they were all his siblings. His deep care for the other children would eventually cause him to refuse adoption, opting to stay and make sure the other children would find families before he did. Shortly after his refusal to be adopted, he was unofficially adopted by the caretaker of the orphanage, as any who asked about Yu, she would simply state to them that he was her only son, cementing his place here forever. He was content with it, eventually warming up to the caretaker, whose name is Touka Matsunaga, and began to call her his mother. 

Growing older, Yu began to wonder about his own purpose in life, and often began questioning who his real parents were. As he was unable to find answers regarding them from his adoptive mother and those close to the two, he ultimately decided to set off in search for answers. After saying his heartfelt goodbyes to the children, and his mother, he left, vowing to return eventually, regardless if he had answers or not. 

**Appearance:** Yu stands at an even six feet, with slightly tan skin and an athletic build. His gentle eyes are a dark blue color. His black hair is always kept neatly buzzed, giving him a habit of running his hair through his fingers when he seems bored.  Generally, he wears a white long-sleeved button down shirt, with both sleeves rolled up to his mid forearm. As for pants, he wears a pair of olive green cargo pants. His pants are held up by a simple black leather belt, with a gold buckle. A pair of moderately worn out combat boots adorn his feet, with the ends of his pants tucked neatly into the boots. A simple pendent adorns his neck, a memento from his parents that he barely remembers. Around his wrist he wears a simple leather strap, adorned with different color beads. The strap was hand-crafted by one of the children he helped watch over at the orphanage he grew up from, and he cherishes this simple piece of jewelry. As he travels, he is usually seen wearing a tattered brown cloak. 

On Yu’s body are two seals, both located on the back of each of his hands, The two seals on his hands are identical in nature, simply being circles with smaller symbols circling the inside. They serve as the catalyst to summon both of his blades, and he is currently unaware as to how he received them. 

**Faction:** Currently, Yu belongs to no faction.

**Weapon:**

_Daybreak and Nightfall-_ Yu utilizes two twin katanas, Daybreak, which is purely white adorned with gold trim, and Nightfall, a katana as black as night. He can summon to two blades to his right and left hand, respectively, from a magic seal that is located on the back of both of his hands. As both katanas are magical in nature, it is near impossible to break the blades in any way, and if one manages to do so, Yu can simply re-summon them, making them look brand new and as if they’ve never seen battle before. Since both are bound to him, he can also call them back to him if the blades ever leave his hands during a fight. 

Using these two weapons, Yu is able to channel various forms of magic, although, they are slightly limited, in a sense. Through Daybreak, Yu can channel his white magic, ranging from simple cure spells, to more advanced spells such as reflect, and barrier. Nightfall is the polar opposite, as Yu is able to channel his black magic through the blade. While he is not a master with his spells, he has a wide variety of spells at his disposal. 

**Powers/Abilities:** 

_Dual Sword Style-_ Yu’s sword style utilizes both of his swords to keep a balance of offense and defense. As he fights, he focuses first on staying on the defense, keeping an eye on any openings that might present themselves, and exploiting any weakness that he can find. Yu is patient and durable, being able to fight for hours on end just by simply staying on the defensive side. When attacking, he is swift and brutal, with none of his movements wasted, and strikes with deadly accuracy. 

_Magic Channeling-_ As stated before, Yu is capable of channeling magic through his blades. However, he can only channel white magic through Daybreak, and black magic through Nightfall. If one managed to somehow stop one of the swords from being used, they would effectively close off that type of magic to Yu. It is unknown to him as to why it is this way.

_Angel’s Call-_ A transformation ability that Yu is able to freely channel. For as long as he is able to hold it, he sacrifices the power of Nightfall, cutting off all of his ability to cast black magic, and tremendously increase the powers that stem from Daybreak. As Nightfall is more offensive in nature due to its destructive magic, Angel’s Call turns Yu into a defensive juggernaut. His entire appearance also shifts, making his hair grow longer, and changing it do a pale blonde color. His skin turns paler, giving him a shiny effect to him, making him more like an angel. White armor materializes and adorns his whole body.
 
Cool aesthetic changes aside, as mentioned, Yu’s power with white magic grow stronger. His healing spells increase in effectiveness, being able to close and repair even fatal wounds while they are cast, and being able regenerate lost limbs on others, although this takes a huge toll on his body. He is able to erect more barriers for his defense, and even create large barriers to cover a wide area. As his black magic casting is completely cut off while using Angel’s Call, the offensive capabilities are near non-existent, unless he strikes directly with his sword. To help slightly compensate for this, he is able to cast the ultimate white magic spell, Holy. However, its power is limited against those who are not entirely consumed by darkness; therefore it is only used on those that have completely lost their heart.
 
_Demon’s Beckon-_ Another one of Yu’s transformation abilities. It acts as the polar opposite to Angel’s Call. This time, he briefly sacrifices the power of his white magic and Daybreak to make his black magic powers stronger. His appearance is also altered during this state, giving him black armor that surrounds his whole body, tanning his skin, and changing the color of his eyes to a deep orange. The destructiveness of his black magic spells increases to that of something more than a master, and increasing all of his offensive parameters. Demon’s Beckon turns Yu into an absolute powerhouse, whose force and strength go nearly unmatched. 

However, Demon’s Beckon is a form that Yu is reluctant to use. This is because the longer he stays within this form, he begins to feel his true self slip. To use this form, Yu must also channel his inner darkness, something that he is usually able to keep at bay. A voice begins to speak out to him, attempting to shatter his mind and take over fully. No matter how hard he tries, he is unable to silence the voice. Yu fears the day that the voice manages to take over, using his body to cause pain and misfortune across the worlds.
