[hider=Arezawa Kiyoki] Name: Arezawa Kiyoki Species: Human Appearance: Tall white human male. Blue eyes, black hair tied behind his head in a ponytail that reaches to his shoulders. Shrewd but kind facial expression, looks to be about 20, maybe 25. He wears a long white robe in the style of the Onmyoudo, with deep robes. There are ornate symbols braided into the cuffs of his robe with golden thread. He's always barefoot for some reason. Personality: Arezawa is cocky, but righteously so. He believes direct action is beneath him, and is convinced he's smarter than everyone else. While he's not directly malicious, he wishes to control everything around him, as he doesn't believe anyone else would be up to the task. He considers people to be his pawns to move as he wishes, and values competence above all else. This carefree attitude towards human life often makes him seem evil, although his eventual goal is to create a perfect world. He's a perfectionist who holds himself to the highest of standards, and his only flaw is perhaps his pride. Abilities: [Prodigy] Kiyoki is a genius of unparralelled intellect who specializes in the analyzation and understanding of magical concepts. He's able to learn entire new styles of magic with relative ease, and often creates new branches of magic by analyzing the inner working of an existing magical concept. He's also a master of strategy and manipulation, and knows exactly how to manipulate his opponents into doing his bidding. This intelligence is perhaps his most frightening ability. [Demon Seals] Using his intellect and his not inconsiderable powers, Kiyoki has managed to bind countless demons, and earn favours from many more. He is able to summon these demons using seals written on paper, calling forth powerful enemies. While they are called forth, bound beings are forced to obey Kiyoki's command as long as he possesses the seal that bound them. Stealing this seal will transfer control for the duration of the summon, and destroying the seal will set the demon free from it's prison permanently. Demons whom's favour is invoked are not bound to Kiyoki's will, and are merely called to this location by the seal. They will often obey a single request to clear the favour, and damaging or destroying the seal will not stop this. However these favours are finite, and many demons will obey favours to the letter. Therefore, a cunning opponent might use Kiyoki's exact words against him when facing such a demon. [Onmyoudo Magics] As an Onmyoudo, Kiyoki is a master of spirit magic. He's capable of binding magical beings, creating barriers, and using spirit energy to create a variety of charms and seals. This style of magic utilizes charms, fetishes and symbols in order to bind arcane beings into objects and charms to create magical effects. This lends itself excellently to support, allowing for acts such as healing and protection. However, by manipulating demons(Yokai), the more aggressive spirits, this art can also be used to devastating effect. [Martial Arts] While he spends most of his time perfecting his study of the arcane arts, Kiyoki is also an expert martial artist. While his merely human speed and strength don't allow him to combat with superpowered opponents, he is a master of aikido, a style designed to use your opponent's strength against them. This grants him some measure of survivability even without his arcane prowess, although the weakness of this style of martial arts is that it cannot be used offensively. Bio: Kiyoki came to Tsubasa about 12 years ago. At the time of his arrival he possessed no magical powers whatsoever, and he spent 2 years barely making a living, creating clockwork contraptions. However, he was taken in by an onmyoudo, and his natural talent for the arcane arts almost immediately made itself known. The onmyoudo taught Kiyoki all he knew, and Kiyoki soon surpassed him. He then traveled from onmyoudo to onmyoudo, learning all he could. Once he realized that none of the local onmyoudo could teach him anything he couldn't figure out more easily on his own, he began a solitary journey. He spent 8 more years traveling the lands of Tsubasa, learning about the spiritual world and establishing the contacts and favours he needed to further establish his powers. He returned from his self-imposed solitude as the most powerful Onmyoudo in the land, and managed to secure a place as the spiritual advisor of the Dragon Emperor. He now finds himself the second most respected man in all of Tsubasa, with the power to change the world. [/hider]
