He can also command and bargain with spirits, whether they be the restless dead, or the youkai and other spirit beings who reside on the other side of the veil. Between these two powers, Kaito always has an army to fight beside him, and an arsenal with which to arm them.

Hit, run, hit again, put them down.

He's a friendly sort, always willing to lend a helping hand to a friend or even a stranger, if they have need. Quiet and introspective, he's usually up for taking walks in his free time, or playing a video game or two. Enjoys cooking, but he's easily distracted, so sometimes he isn't very good at it. Greatly enjoys his new powers (even if he won't admit it), though he does not enjoy the price of admission. This causes him much guilt. [color=a187be][b]History:[/b][/color] [color=a187be]"You could say I've always had a bit of a peek behind the curtain. I've always been able to see ghosts, spirits, and the like. Sometimes I even got a glimpse of those little marshmallow bastards. My parents said it was because of a gift from the Queen of Crows, for a favor our ancestors did for her. I just knew it meant I could see spooky ghosts. Like that kid from the movie. And it was pretty cool, for a while. Until it wasn't. "Y'see, as it turns out, the Queen of Crows had an enemy. A rival, nemesis, foe, whatever you want to call it. Someone who hated her, and all she stood for. Everything she was connected to. See where I'm going with this? Because it took until some assholes wearing red and white bursting into my home for me to get it. The bastards had swords, I kid you not. And they stabbed my mom, dad, me, and just for kicks and giggles, my baby sister, too. And then they left us to bleed out and rot. I was the only one who lived, 'cause, well, turns out the Queen's been keeping more of an eye on us than I thought. "She came to me as I was dying. Said she only had time to save me. Said she could give me the power to stand up to the Crimson Prince and his lackeys. I said yes, of course. It was that or die like a bitch. Then again, maybe that would've been a better option. Because she decided that, given this insult from the Prince, the time for subtlety had long since passed. So she poured every ounce of mana she could scrounge up into me. And that much magic at once changes you. [i]A lot.[/i] "Now I'm here in the city. Training. Getting stronger, as strong as I can. Because the Prince will come for me again. And I have to be ready for him. May as well kill some monsters while I'm here..."[/color] [color=a187be][b]Incantation:[/b] [i]"Black Sky, Golden Moon, Silver Stars! Behold your Champion! Rise, Knight of Crows!"[/i][/color] [color=a187be][b]Additional Info:[/b][/color] Has a sweet tooth. Likes shiny things like crystals and marbles, even before basically becoming part crow. Chronic insomniac.

She can be caring, protective, and even motherly to her "subjects." She tries to be encouraging to her Champion, the Knight of Crows, but ends up coming off as overbearing and pushy instead. However, she really does care about him, even if it doesn't always seem like it. [color=a187be][b]History:[/b][/color] The Queen of Crows was once a horrible monster, a drinker of blood and devourer of men. Unfortunately for her, her rampages had drawn the ire of the brother of one of her victims. And so great was his hate that he became a demon just for the chance to destroy her. They clashed, and the Queen was struck down, barely alive. She was found by a farmer and his wife, and whether they knew of her dread reputation or not, decided to nurse her back to health. She planned to kill them for their kindness, once she regained her strength. But over time, the couple's kindness softened her heart, and she grew to feel protective toward them. She gifted them with a little of her power, and promised to watch over their line forever, even as they traveled to a great new country in the West. But her old shame, her foe, has found her once again, and will not rest until both her and her charges are destroyed. So she must now keep her promise to that poor farmer and his wife. Whatever it takes. [color=a187be][b]Resources:[/b][/color] "Queen of Crows" isn't just a fancy title. She can see through the eyes of corvids, and even exert control over them if she's in the right area. She has a way with death, able to stave it off and even circumvent it. She has a lot of trinkets, treasures, and loose change, gathered over her long life by her black-feathered servants. And with only one Champion, she can lavish all of this attention on him, leaving him very well-equipped. [color=a187be][b]Additional Info:[/b][/color] She does not need sleep. And sometimes forgets that her Champion does. This can be awkward.[/hider]
