~Appearance~ Full Name: Kazumei Ashitaka Alias/Famous Name: Onyx Prince, Orphan of Flame, Salamander King, and Flame God Age: Unknown Gender: Male Seishou Affinity: Ancient Fire Race: Ashitaka Weapon: Ashikura- One of the thirteen legendary Maken, magical swords with a strange magical phenomena surrounding them. Each are wielded by a Taboo Swordsman. There are thirteen in total, and Ashikura is probably one of the most noticeable ones. When unsheathed the sword is automatically engulfed in sheets upon sheets of flames, hiding the core of the blade in the radiance of light. The core of Ashikura's resembles a cherry hot blade that will virtually cut through anything with it's raw cutting force combined with it's immensely powerful scorching power. It's trademark technique is known as the Salamander's Tongue. A technique that when used, it fires off a powerful beam of fire with an omnidirectional nature allowing it to be swerved around similar to a water hose, hence the name salamander's tongue. Keepsake: none Keepsake Grade: none Keepsake Effect: none ~Background~Height: 6'2 Weight: 185lbs Hair: Short, black, and very spiky Eyes: Deep ember orange Personality:Kazumei's personality is one of cold ruthlessness. He is not particularly anti-social, and as he has friends. All the same, his cold exterior and professional attitude turn people away. Kazumei is very intelligent, and is respectful to those he deems worthy. Kazumei is confident to the point of arrogance, but as one of the strongest beings in Termina it could easily be argued he has the right to be. Well-spoken and somewhat graceful, Kazumei is universally calm, collected, and in control. He can be frustrated and caught off his guard, but this rarely happens. Family: Ashitaka Affiliation: Taboo Swordsman- They are a group of magic swordsman who possess a malevolent forms of seishou both foreign and compatible to their own. Because this combined seishou is so abnormally high that they have to concentrate the majority of their seishou into a separate vessel... thus their swords, who's shape and design reflects the very beasts sealed within. Bio/History: Said to be one of the 13 legendary fabled Taboo Swordsman. Kazumei reigns from the Onyx Kingdom, a small kingdom consisting of spiritual warriors that reside within the black crags of the onyx mountains. Son of Enzume the Draken King and the Phoenix Queen. Not munch is known about this stormy figure however it can be said that he will play an important role in the story. ~Magic~Sohzen Magic A fire magic that begins in the heart of every Ashitaka. The Magic Seal's color depends on the signature color of the Ashitaka's flame. Sohzen is first awakened, it allows the Ashitaka to regulate the heat produced from their hearts. They are able to regulate their bio-heat's minimum and maximum through their hearts. Where a self-consuming flame would occur in most humans, instead they are able to transfer this heat into various parts of their body at different rates. Once mastered, a flame will occur within the Ashitaka, allowing them to become either consumed by it or controlled and expelled through body for usage. This is what is known as their Heart of the Flame or Innate Flame, a type of transcended spiritual flame imbued a varying effect depending on the Ashitaka it is awakened in. The normal fire and Spiritual Flame magic are two totally different things, in other words they are not to be confused with manipulating fire. Each flame is awakened differently, some usually through a sort of obstacle, some through hardship that they must overcome, and others emotional. Every Ashitaka possesses an innate dominant flame which can usually be seen burning deeply within the iris of the Ashitaka's eyes when being used or awakened and can be usually distinguished from color. Some flames are capable of being obtained and shared with other members of the clan and some cannot. For those that can, they cannot be used as efficiently as the original user who first awakened the flame. The Hell Flame (Flame of Destruction)-
The ruthless flame of the human world that burns forth and reduces everything to ash that it touches. It also resembles the most common flame seen in the world which appears a bright orange texture, however it is munch more wilder in nature and it's temperatures is many times greater. The technique allows him to generate and utilize the hell flame at will to a certain extent as far as their seishou allows them to. One note to have in mind is that the Hell Flame also does great harm to the user after a certain time period of generating large amounts of it. For an example, a user may be seen generating a ball of fire into their palm, but after a couple of seconds licking across their flesh, it starts to cook into their flesh and burn into it like any other human. This is why it is wise to put time in between attacks when generating more fire to give the skin time to cool off. The difference between the Ashitaka and normal humans is that it takes twice as longer before the fire actually starts to harm their body since they have adapted to after several years. The Hell Flame highly feeds off of oxygen and for that reason Kazumei can use it as long as it is in his presence. He is able to combust any exposed oxygen in sight into flames. The Hell Flame also holds the greatest regeneration rate, capable of regenerating itself faster than that of any flame. Because of this it's composition can thicken and it's temperatures can far surpass that of magma levels. The greater the seishou, the time period the regeneration of fire is extended and the more their bodily resistance to burns is increased. Some Ashitaka have even proved to be completely impervious to the Hell Flame after external usage and mastery. This is why its strongly required to have a great seishou capacity before the Hell Flame can be mastered. The Azure Flame (Flame of Serenity)-
Once Kazumei's soul is at a state of calm and is able to bring the hell flames to a state of focus, he can activate the Azure Flame. Once activated, the dancing flames of hell slow down until they can hardly be noticed moving just before speeding up into a great blur of azure. At this point the flames are moving extremely fast now. This is when the flames turn from a hellish orange to a serene azure blue and the shrill squawking sounds of a phoenix can be heard from the flames as if thousands of blades are grinding against one another. Unlike the Hell Flame, the Azure Flame uses the maximum heat. Where the Hell Flame ignites the existing oxygen around the area, the Azure flame takes in all of the oxygen in the environment and concentrates it one single self sustained force giving it an azure color. Because of this it's concussive force when channeled through Ashikura increases tremendously because of the burning oxygen and pressure gathered into one area. Where the Hell Flame contains diffused widespread like form, the Azure Flame is munch more concentrated and can reshaped into various forms used for in melee or ranged combat. Most of the variations created from the techniques it produces mainly hold concussive, cutting, or piercing effects rather than than just burning wherever the hell flame focuses on solely on heat intensity. Because it sucks in all the oxygen around it into itself it is munch more easier to direct all of it's heat on one specific target without wasting excess fire, giving it the ability to solidify into a composition harder than steel thus adding more power too it's piercing, cutting, and concussive power. The downside to Azulin is that it does not have the large range in radius of the Hell Flame and it cannot combust through the open air. It can only be drawn in to one single location to create the flame. Because it contains so munch oxygen, the Azure Flame can survive underneath the water for extended periods of time before resurfacing to gain more oxygen. The Cerulean Flame (Flame of Calamity)-
Once Kazumei's soul is at a state of calm and is able to bring the hell flames to a state of focus, he can activate the Cerulean Flame. Once activated, the dancing flames of hell then slow down until they it could hardly be noticed that they are moving. At this point this is when the flames turn from a hellish orange to a calm cerulean blue. Once this happens, the user now possesses the ability to both absorb and manipulate the very essence of fire. Unlike the Hell Flame, the Cerulean flame does not burn physical matter, and it is not fueled by oxygen or affected by water. Where the Hell Flame would be put out by a water blast, the Cerulean Flame would consume the spiritual energy controlling the water blast and the water would simply fall to the ground. Flesh burns are now rarely seen seen at this stage because of the absorbing ability and control over the hell fire is mastered. Since it is mastered, the user is also bestowed with the ability to fire off concentrated high-density blasts consisting of cerulean fire which can also be fired off through through weapons that serve as beacons for the channeling seishou. Normal tissue attacked by the cerulean Flame results in necrosis, where over the Hell Flame causes incineration. Through the cerulean Flame, the user is able to absorb large amounts of fire and unleash 3 times greater upon their foe at their will. This allows the user to conserve their own seishou and save them the time of converting their own to generate fire. With this, the user can save exponential amounts of seishou as long as their is fire around them within their disposal. However, the cerulean flame is also limited upon seishou. With it, it takes a devastating amount of seishou just to cover their whole hand ablaze in the cerulean flame. With the great strength of the cerulean Flame, it has been known to some of the most powerful techniques yet to be seen. Spreading it across larger areas of the body would take immense training or years of training. The Jade Flame (Flame of Rejuvenation)-
Very few Ashitaka possess the power of the Jade Healing Flame, because of the lack of understanding the fundamentals of the flame itself regarding the emotion required. Unlike many, the wielder of the Jade Flame doesn't seek to control the flame but has devoted their training to working with and allying their body with the flame. This is how the the green flame of rejuvenation was activated. Once the green flame is activated, the user is now able to possess the power of the greatest healing arts of the Ashitaka. Once there is wound inflicted upon the body, the user will set it ablaze in green embers that will burn its healing power into it. Everything inside or around the wound that the flame touches is sewn and closed into place which makes it one of the most powerful techniques in the healing arts. Performing it takes great amounts of seishou for a single wound, but the flame thoroughly gets the job done. There were times during battles where whole brigades of men were rejuvenated in the mist of battle due to the Jade Flame. Unlike most medical techniques, once a wound is set ablaze with the green flame the user doesn't have to stay near the injured. The flame's power is responsible for solely feeding on injuries and taking the damage into it itself. The greater the wound, greater the proportion of seishou is needed to create a flame to heal it. When used, the flame's healing power will continue to burn and spread into the wound until there is nothing left to heal. The only thing capable of smothering the embers of the healing flame are injuries greater than itself. Once the flame is mastered, there is almost no wound that cannot be healed by the green flame, thus making it one of the greatest arts of healing magic. The Nether Flame- (Flame of Death)-
At this point, the Ashitaka is now toying with death and is putting both his and the opponent's life on the line. Death Summoning is one of the forbidden summonings of the Ashitaka Tribe and is only used for the utmost last resorts. The nether flame is a unique flame that feeds upon pure seishou and nothing else. Once the seishou runs out, the Nether Flame then begins to feed upon the user's life force. The time and rate that this process happens entirely depends on the Death Summon itself. Once it is successfully used, it can be manipulated to summon up dark entities from the deepest pits of the netherworld which is used to unleash their wrath upon the user's enemies. Once the ritual is done, the user will use their own seishou as bait to summon forth the very essence of the Nether Flame. Once the Nether Flame is summoned, it appears to be the color of a purple color with a blackish tint. The composition of every single summon consists of an ethereal like exoskeleton, muscle tissue, flesh, and sometimes even armored making them a difficult force to battle. These summons depend on the force of the user's seishou to stay bound to the physical plane, and take larger increments of seishou from the user depending on their size. It is a forbidden technique of the Ashitaka, because the shows no bounds or mercy. Not even upon the user themselves if deemed unworthy of the flame. Their is no practicing involved in mastering the flame. The user must be a master of the flame or sacrifice to it which means it is a matter of life or death, there is nothing in between. This is why it is a forbidden flame. For a person to use it twice, would deem them mastery of the flame.The Frozen Flame - (Flame of Shivers)
Also known as the cold blooded flame, because of it's nature. Once an Ashitaka's mind is at a state of empty, the Frozen Flame can be awakened. This flame neither burns with the same destructive force as average fire nor does it burn with the intense heat of most flames. This flame burns with the power of searing cold. It's freezing power is strong enough to transcend solids onto higher plateaus of hardness by freezing any moisture located around an object or within, highly increasing their solidification levels. Enemies coming in direct contact with this flame can instantly suffer freeze burns otherwise known as frostbite on the area of impact instantly, and gradually discolor other areas of the body with frostbite should the pale fire spread . Not to be confused with ice, who's freezing power holds a limit. The Frozen Flame is simply the effect of burning power reversed in on itself to create the opposite effect. In other words in so many ways it is a reversed counterpart of the Hell Flame. When the Frozen Flame strikes something, it discards all nearby traces of thermal energy in the target of impact causing what is known as Absolute Zero. Should additional chakra be exerted into the technique, it is possible for the flame to reach transcendent temperatures far exceeding absolute zero. Depending on the skill of the Ashitaka using this Flame, it is said that one frozen fireball is enough to completely solidify an entire lake solid. Regulating the intensity of the flame is said to be one of the most difficult aspects of wielding it. Once activating it, it can be easily because hazardous to the user if used incorrectly. Putting to munch force into some techniques can discard more thermal energy in the area than intended, causing arctic temperatures to slowly consume the user. The Nova Flame (Flame of Corruption)-
A strange black flame capable of burning through practically any material. The flame seems to carry a parasitic nature and because of this it carries a more unique set of abilities aside from the others. One of the most notable of it's abilities is that the flame is able to alter it's gaseous composition to a more solidified state, adding more to it's cutting power while still sustaining it's incredible burning power. The third power this flame carries is to liquefy itself to a more semi-liquid state which gives it a more flexible form that can enter the most complex of spaces while also retaining it's incredible burning power. Once the flame makes physical contact with something, it will continue to grow and spread as long as their is expendable seishou left in the environment for it to feed from. Because of this, the black flame has been known to burn for many days and nights. Once released, the flame possesses a sentient like behavior, going as far as retaliating to the opponent's desperation against it such as clawing at the flesh and spreading towards areas where the victim can less likely reach. After destroying it's victims, these twisted flames also possess the ability to resurrect the bodies of it's fallen victims like a reborn phoenix from the ashes before reanimating the body to fit the black flame's needs. All of the flesh is completely burned from the body and the only thing holding it up is an exoskeleton solidified parasitic flames. This is why it has been proven to be one of the most evil of the flames and has been highly prohibited from being used again. The first to use this flame of the Ashitaka was a a man by the name of Akkoto, a man who became so corrupted by his own power that he turned against his own people. Koshin The Golden Flame (Flame of Cosmos)
This flame is achieved by very few Ashitaka. The Golden Flame is a unique flame who's nature is rarely used for attacking, but more over for evasiveness and defending. The golden flame is a technique that burns through the burns through the threads that make up the fabric of space and time, allowing them if highly skilled enough, to sever and weave these very threads as the user sees fit. These threads consist of three compositions known as physical, magical, and spatial. It is an old art of flame does this by burning through the threads of empty space in an area targeted by the Ashitaka wielding it. It is probably the fastest and most articulate burning flame of them all. The rate in which the flames burn is immeasurable and it's articulation on what it burns is very precise, making it a technique that requires extreme patience to master. Once focused on specific threads or a single axis point in space, by severing the thread the golden flame will cause the point to collapse upon itself and eventually the space surrounding it as well causing what is known as 'scar' in space. This method is known as 'rupturing', which is a form of destroying the strings that make up the fabric of space time. It is the primary source of any ancient flame magic that effects space and time created by the Ashitaka, and the only way it is achieved is through the golden flame. Any technique or magic derived from the golden flame is automatically labeled as a forbidden magic by the elders for the simple fact that it's powers have crossed into the territory of the spacetime continuum. However like many flames of Sohzen, the golden flame as a unique price that comes with it in return for it's power. Each time it is used, the user increases of the chances of damaging their heart which brings them closer and closer to death each time. However, because Kazumei has shown a prominence in this magic to where the technique has become second nature to him. The Sun Flame (Flame of Rebirth)-
The white flame that burns silently and invisibly with no physical form or appearance. Ashitaka Matsubi, "The Banished One" was the first and only to activate the white flame and because of that, the true purpose and ability behind the flame goes untold. Some say that it is nearly impossible for even Ashitaka's to use it because of the massive seishou supply it takes would most likely kill the user in return. However, every Ashitaka still has the potential through their bloodline. There are theories on how The White Flame works. Some say that once an individual unlocks the White Flame, they have their very own unique technique than another with the White Flame. Some say that the user gains a particular ability which allows them to set a target's designated area ablaze with sheer mind and will power. When this is done, it is usually seen by the user locking pointing their fingers or thrusting their palm towards that particular area of the body or area. It has been heard that the flame itself is made up of the essence of souls themselves. It is said that the flame incinerates both flesh and bones. Once the flame burns through the victim, it does not only burn through them physically, but also consumes the entire soul once the flesh and bones have been devoured. Since the birth of the technique, many questions have aroused from it. However there is one that stands out above all in particular, "Where does the soul go once it has been it becomes one with the white flame?" None may ever find the answers. There is only one way to find out, but none dare. One thing can be drawn and said from this mystery. Some say that the legendary Matsubi has used his white flame to reincarnate himself by having it consume his entire essence and giving birth to it all over again, resulting in a rebirth. "The white phoenix bursts into flames and is reborn from its ashes." It is said that the during the wars involving the Onyx Kingdom, whole cities have vanished silently by the invisible flame with no evidence that there was ever a fire. For the white flame cannot be seen by clouded eyes and burns without judgment.~Special Abilities~Taboo Magic: AshikuraAshikura: Ascension Level 1Once Level 1 Ascension has been reached, Ashikura's form will take on a drastic change. The blade of the sword will enlarge into a more organic form, covered in a dark orange like hide with black onyx spines protruding from many ends. The hide of the sword is clearly more than ten times thicker than it's previous stage and it weights approximately 30lbs. In this form, the blades magical and physical properties are increased, such as it's resistance to fire attacks as well as it's offensive capability. The spines located along the surface of the sword are useful in melee combat, easily protruding outward to interlock with the opponent's sword for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. Kazumei has also shown the ability to extend Ashikura, causing it to elongate and bend for ranged area strikes. He also holds a technique, known as the Nokogiri. This technique causes the spines to constantly rotate along the surface of the sword while the sword itself spins counterclockwise, creating a vicious saw like effect that will grind opponent's to death as well as enemy weapons. Ascension Level 2Once Level 2 Ascension has been reached, Ashikura will take on another growth spurt, making it's body seem more sentient and terrifying than ever. The hide of Ashikura will become 15x more tougher and the spines ridged across it's the surface will become more larger and munch lengthier. At the round tip of the sword, an eyeless salamander like creature will be revealed only to have a mouth and large rows of teeth. Beyond those terrifying teeth it hides a blazing inferno that can be noticed with each breath the sword takes. Each time the sword takes a breath, it produces large plumes of fiery steam that can be fatal to most creatures. In this form, Kazumei is able to use an array of techniques with it such as the Burning Nokogiri. The spines of the blade will glow a red hot before performing the Nokogiri, combining it's scorching power with it's vicious grinding power. It's lagging tongue constantly stays coated with drooling liquid fire that drips out and cooks through whatever it makes contact with. With it's teeth coated in the same material, it makes it munch easier to bite through whatever it's hellish jaws come into contact with. Ascension Level 3Indicating that Level 3 Ascension has been reached, the dividing crevice located along the head of the sword will split open, releasing a blazing inferno that will enshroud around the creature's neck, creating a lush mane of blazing fire. Ashikura in this form becomes so large, that most of it's body lays on the ground unless it's highly active in combat. The sword is approximately five feet in width and nine feet in length. From the blade's mere breath, the atmosphere can become really dense, thin, and hot around the area causing living things with weak seishou levels to easily burn up. Ashikura in this form holds an array of abilities, as well as having the ability to burrow underneath the ground for more underground based attacks. It also holds the ability to use a type of magma magic, as it can be seen releasing large explosions of magma when connecting with enemy attacks. The blade's personality is more expressive because of it's increased violent nature. It also holds the ability to eat various forms of fire, including it's unique flames to augment it's own abilities. The longer Ashikura remains in this form increasing in power, the more difficult it becomes to wield the unruly blade.

~Appearance~ Full Name: Ragna Alias/Famous Name: Crimson King. Rune Swordsman, and Author of Arcane Age: Unknown Gender: Male Seishou Affinity: Rune Calligraphy Race: Human Weapon: Gungnir Staff- The pole that Ragna wields in place of the Ragnarok in which he lost many years ago. Though it isn't as useful as strong and capable of the sentient Ragnarok, it still retains a few uses that enable Ragna to hold his own in battle. The staff is able to extend as well as bend itself in a loop like manner for reaching across areas he may not be able to reach. The staff is as sharp as a sword and is capable of causing it's mass to swell for bludgeoning power. Keepsake: n/a Keepsake Grade: n/a Keepsake Effect: n/a ~Background~Height: 6'0 Weight: 180lbs Hair: Dark Eyes: Crimson Personality: At first glance Ragna can come off as a person completely numb to the world around him. However he has an enigmatic behavior about him that says otherwise. Depending on what side of the line you find yourself judging him from, you may think differently. Family: none Affiliation: Scarlet Crescent Bio/History: Ragna's history for the most part can be traced back to G.E.A.R.B.O.L.T. The city in which he left a great impact on in the past years. It is said that he was the one who created the first official system of guilds in G.E.A.R.B.O.L.T as an attempt to bring the city closer together. Today the city still holds it's infamous chaotic nature, however with the system of guilds at work the chaos has somewhat been tamed and the majority of power in G.E.A.R.B.O.L.T has been divided amongst each guild. To unite a city such as G.E.A.R.B.O.L.T, it would take amazing feats that would require risking everything. However he accomplished it. As insurance to maintain the equal power and peace, he would leave four SS ranking Keepsakes in the possession of the four greater guilds of G.E.A.R.B.O.L.T. Satisfied with how he has done things, he would depart the city and leave it's future in the hands of the newly appointed Guild Masters. Over the years, he has resided in Sairok Desert, where he runs a guild known as the Crimson Water. It isn't clear as to what they are working towards, however they are in fact working on something. His goal is to reach the enigmatic structure floating above G.E.A.R.B.O.L.T known as H.E.A.V.E.N. The reason being for this is because it took something away from him during a great battle that took place many years ago. He has predicted that on one faithful day the celestial structure will descend upon the skies of Termina. In response to this prediction he has created a small organization that is prepared to take on this mission . The Scarlet Guild is basically an academy of disciples who immerse themselves in the ways of arts of Runology. Each of them are building something to penetrate and infiltrate the satelliting structure known H.E.A.V.E.N. ~Magic~Rune Magic:Runology is the study and use of runes, people who do this on a regular basis may be known as a Runologist, Rune-Smith or even a Rune Master. Runes are one of the most ancient forms of magic in Termina and involve the implanting of arcane power into inanimate or arcane objects via the carving or engraving of runic symbols which summon fourth magical powers. An ancient magic passed down by the great enchanters of Termina that requires a greater understanding of the world and the fundamentals of nature. The users of this magic believe that the world was created by first people of Termina. It was believed that they changed the world by shaping it through a Magical Code consisting of symbols that represent the very essence that make up a specific thing. The magic involves the use of imbuing a single symbol with both the seishou and will of the user to give it a certain effect. It involves the use of a system of symbols that represent specific purposes, goals, elements, and certain affinities. They were created by an ancient race of sorcerers who directed their seishou towards symbols to form glyphs, sigils, and seals to accomplish their will. Each symbol contains the essence of a specific thing. By chaining them together, a magical coded language was born. Ragna believes that the world the very structure the world of Termina is composed of this magical code. A tree for instance, carries it's own magical code that gives it form and structure, the very code that makes it a tree. It is Ragna's power to reverse this code, taking each symbol that makes it up by sometimes interlocking them into various seals that contain specific purposes. Examples of interlocking the symbols into place that make up each individual element as well as combining them to gain sometimes a powerful or weaker outcome, but always different. Example, chaining a earth and water symbol will likely result in the birth of the wood element and so on. His power can be sometimes confused with alchemy, as he is virtually breaking down the magical composition of a specific thing into symbols, before rearranging them to gain something else. His source of power originates from his surroundings in the environment which contain the magical code, and his immense pool of seishou which drives his ability to do so. To use of this practice involves three different values. Marking, Imbuing, and Mental Power. Pandorium:In Runology, it is said their are two types of seishou. Spatial recomposition physical recomposition, and physical recomposition. There are five types of elemental seishou: Earth, wind, water, fire, and lightning. Aside from these are also physical seishou and spiritual seishou. Pandorium allows Ragna to evolve a type of seishou to its ultimate level. So in a sense Kazumei's techniques are the ultimate level of fire seishou. That makes it a little different from other techniques which are apparently to do with combining two different types of seishou to form a new one. Instead Pandorium takes one type of seishou and evolving it's nature to the next level. Runologic Evocation:Through the use of symbols, Ragna is able to summon entities bound by this magical code. It isn't entirely the same as summoning magic, as summoning magic requires calling beasts from a different plane that thrive upon the user's seishou. What Runological Evocation does is bring for entities that are bound by and consist of the magical code. Once born, they retain the seishou imbued into the symbols that they are born from. ~Special Abilities~Excellent Swordsmanship: -Scarlet Crescent- For this technique to work, the Ragnarok must be swung, as the phantom attack requires already existing momentum to strike with any force. Often times this ability can be used to perform a 'double strike' with a single weapon swing, allowing user's to overpower another weapon wielder with a dual force of damage. There is a lapse of one to two seconds between the strike of the user's weapon and the secondary 'phantom' strike being made behind it. The true attack of it's mastery. The ability to release highly condensed seishou from the blade of Ragnarok in the form of a wave or arch. This technique concentrates and compresses seishou at the tip of the Ragnarok to fire a blast of pure seishou. Although the form is always a wave or crescent moon, it can be used in various methods from striking damage away or slicing the ground to create an omnidirectional blast to stop attacks valued at the same level of power that was released by the attack or strike with debris as well as the power. These blasts take on the scarlet color of Ragna's seishou and can reach a distance of twenty meters in the direction it is released. -Phantom Sword- This technique can often be known as the secondary strike. It allows Ragna to use seishou behind a sword strike, to produce an exact same strike right after the physical one made. This strike is made by compressing air with seishou directly behind the user's blade for a secondary burst of damage. The unique capability this technique presents however is the ability to control the way the force is struck with the secondary strike; from blunt like a hammer, to incredibly sharp like a normal blade. Along with the added bonus of the attack being unseen when it strikes. -Ghost Strike- Ghost Strike is a style that consist of the advanced swordsmanship training the body to move as accurately as the speed of the blade which the user wields. This special style is dubbed, "Ghost Strike" the swift motions of consecutive attacks moving with a swift speed can seemingly give the user's body that motion of a intangible ghost. Its so advanced, that it would be more resourceful in assassinations. With each strike landed, the energy release is incredible, it can be felt if the opponent manages to block as they are being pushed downwards into the earth below. This same force, in a non lethal manner can up rise an enemy and hurl them into the sky, indirectly attacking the said foe. Explosive Edge- This technique works when Ragna saturates the Ragnarok with his seishou. Once stored up and charged, with each successful strike the blade's edge will explode with seishou containing triple the cutting force. Whether it hits the opponent or their blade, the impact alone has enough power to cause damage either one of them. And so even the opponent's sword is at risk when Ragna is utilizing this style. It isn't only Ragna's physical force being channeled through the blade, but his immense seishou that will explode on impact once released. -Ghost Walk- At the speed of the Heavenly Strike, the user basically will appear to come at an opponent, however this is only a ruse. As the false perception fooling the eyesight, the true user moves away unseen most often then not emerging behind the enemy where they are the most vulnerable. The trick for this is something you need special sight or a heightened eye to anticipate, for a brief second and after image will shift and the user then passes through the opponent. This is significant being that its a mirage. -Master Practitioner of Aura- Ragna has demonstrated many times that he is a master of the force known as aura even to the point where he has developed munch higher manifestations of it's use such as solidifying it to perform abilities that many consider unnatural. He is able to extend ethereal like appendages of seishou from the mere aura emanating from his body such as hands and fists to grapple, attack, and perform other kinetic actions that would save him the time of physically doing it himself. Because of the clairvoyant nature of his aura, it can be used to sustain flight as well as rocketing himself as an initial boost in his physical attacks. It can be compared to telekinesis in a way, however it's nature resembles a more crushing form of it. His aura for the most part remains a cerulean blue, however when a situation calls for it Ragna's aura will transform into a blood crimson tone before completely growing over his body to form a single avatar of aura around his body in the shape of a celestial type being. It's victims refer to it as the Crimson King because of the long curving demonic resembling horns that form a crown upon it's head. The Ragnarok
The legendary inscriber. A very calculative and sentient blade that is said to have witnessed the first three Armageddons of Termina as well as the three worlds that came afterward. It can be argued that the blade is one of the oldest living artifacts of Termina. Everything that occurred in each passing Termina was stored into the blade. Each new experience and each new change. All of them, who's data was analyzed, stored, and passed on to each new wielder. However, there have only been two wielders of Ragnarok in it's time. The Ragnarok is a sentient blade wielded by Ragna and is strongly tied to Ragna's abilities, however it has a set of abilities that completely differentiate it from it's partner. Ragna's power is known as Arcane Calligraphy, the art of arcane writing which makes Ragnarok the pen of the author. One of the exceptional features of Ragnarok is that is it's observability. It contains the power to record specific events that take place and replay them again through the eye like orb embedded in it's lower belly. Ragnarok solely believes that the genetic code of organic kind is closely related that of the magical code that makes up Termina, therefore he consumes the DNA of fallen victims by consuming their blood with a successful blow. With it, he is able to decipher a genetic code into what is known as a 'Namesake' from his opponents. A Namesake is quite a powerful thing. Altogether it is sum of genetic information translated into each experience that's been carried through each generation of that person as well of every single life they've lived up until now. Altogether it is translated into their Namesake. A person's Namesake is their true name before they were ever born, and it carries every single experience as well as abilities they have learned with them. Based upon that magical genetic makeup, Ragnarok can ingest that information and take on a form that reflects a strong characteristic of that person. ~Namesake~A Namesake is a person's single true name written in the ancient language that they have carried in their soul through every single life they've lived from the past to the present. If one finds out their true name, they are bestowed the knowledge of who they once were in these past lives. Such a knowledge is dangerous as in some cases it can drive the user mad depending on who they once were. The benefit behind it is gaining portions of experience from a single past life which can serve as one of the most powerful weapons. True names are not shared with others, as they are extremely connected to the magic of Runology. Because Runology is a system of symbols that control the essence of the single thing they represent, a person's true name also consists of these same symbols. And if another with mastery over Runology finds this out, it is possible that they can control them through the use of that person's name as well as the experience that has come with their past lives. It isn't known if Ragna knows his true name or not, however one thing can be sure. It is highly possible that either he knows it or has come close to finding it out due to the fact that he has obtained knowledge, experience, and power from one of his past selves, The Crimson King, which explains where his vast knowledge of using Rune Magic comes from.

~Appearance Full Name: Saika Ashitaka Alias/Famous Name: Firefly Age: 17 Gender: Male Seishou Affinity: Ancient Fire Race: Ashitaka Weapon(s) of Choice: Fireproof Suit Plated Gloves Keepsake: none Keepsake Grade: none Keepsake Effect: none ~Personal Background~Height: 5'9 Weight: 130lbs Hair: Salamander Eyes: Olive Personality: A flamboyant and headstrong teenager who isn't afraid to go beyond his limits. Saika personality can fluctuate, as he can be cocky just as well as he is cool and collected depending on the situation and who he's around. Despite this, he does has a strong sense of loyalty for his comrades and he never goes back on his word. Physical Build: Average Family: Ashitaka Family Guild: Lotus Claw Guild Tattoo: Located on Right Shoulder  Affiliation: Crimson Lotus Bio/History: Coming from a long line of Ashitaka, Saika, it was already foreseen that this young man was destined for great things. However instead of living amongst his tribesmen, Saika was born on the floating metropolis of Arius Islands. It was later that he moved to the industrial capital of the world known as Gearbolt. Gearbolt was and still is the central part of Saika's life, as many events that took place here shaped him into the man he needed to be ~Magic~Sohzen Magic A fire magic that begins in the heart of every Ashitaka. The Magic Seal's color depends on the signature color of the Ashitaka's flame. Sohzen is first awakened, it allows the Ashitaka to regulate the heat produced from their hearts. They are able to regulate their bio-heat's minimum and maximum through their hearts. Where a self-consuming flame would occur in most humans, instead they are able to transfer this heat into various parts of their body at different rates. Once mastered, a flame will occur within the Ashitaka, allowing them to become either consumed by it or controlled and expelled through body for usage. This is what is known as their Heart of the Flame or Innate Flame, a type of transcended spiritual flame imbued a varying effect depending on the Ashitaka it is awakened in. The normal fire and Spiritual Flame magic are two totally different things, in other words they are not to be confused with manipulating fire. Each flame is awakened differently, some usually through a sort of obstacle, some through hardship that they must overcome, and others emotional. Every Ashitaka possesses an innate dominant flame which can usually be seen burning deeply within the iris of the Ashitaka's eyes when being used or awakened and can be usually distinguished from color. Some flames are capable of being obtained and shared with other members of the clan and some cannot. For those that can, they cannot be used as efficiently as the original user who first awakened the flame. The Hell Flame (Flame of Destruction)-
The ruthless flame of the human world that burns forth and reduces everything to ash that it touches. It also resembles the most common flame seen in the world which appears a bright orange texture, however it is munch more wilder in nature and it's temperatures is many times greater. The technique allows him to generate and utilize the hell flame at will to a certain extent as far as their seishou allows them to. One note to have in mind is that the Hell Flame also does great harm to the user after a certain time period of generating large amounts of it. For an example, a user may be seen generating a ball of fire into their palm, but after a couple of seconds licking across their flesh, it starts to cook into their flesh and burn into it like any other human. This is why it is wise to put time in between attacks when generating more fire to give the skin time to cool off. The difference between the Ashitaka and normal humans is that it takes twice as longer before the fire actually starts to harm their body since they have adapted to after several years. The Hell Flame highly feeds off of oxygen and for that reason Kazumei can use it as long as it is in his presence. He is able to combust any exposed oxygen in sight into flames. The Hell Flame also holds the greatest regeneration rate, capable of regenerating itself faster than that of any flame. Because of this it's composition can thicken and it's temperatures can far surpass that of magma levels. The greater the seishou, the time period the regeneration of fire is extended and the more their bodily resistance to burns is increased. Some Ashitaka have even proved to be completely impervious to the Hell Flame after external usage and mastery. This is why its strongly required to have a great seishou capacity before the Hell Flame can be mastered. The Azure Flame (Flame of Serenity)-
Once Kazumei's soul is at a state of calm and is able to bring the hell flames to a state of focus, he can activate the Azure Flame. Once activated, the dancing flames of hell slow down until they can hardly be noticed moving just before speeding up into a great blur of azure. At this point the flames are moving extremely fast now. This is when the flames turn from a hellish orange to a serene azure blue and the shrill squawking sounds of a phoenix can be heard from the flames as if thousands of blades are grinding against one another. Unlike the Hell Flame, the Azure Flame uses the maximum heat. Where the Hell Flame ignites the existing oxygen around the area, the Azure flame takes in all of the oxygen in the environment and concentrates it one single self sustained force giving it an azure color. Because of this it's concussive force when channeled through Ashikura increases tremendously because of the burning oxygen and pressure gathered into one area. Where the Hell Flame contains diffused widespread like form, the Azure Flame is munch more concentrated and can reshaped into various forms used for in melee or ranged combat. Most of the variations created from the techniques it produces mainly hold concussive, cutting, or piercing effects rather than than just burning wherever the hell flame focuses on solely on heat intensity. Because it sucks in all the oxygen around it into itself it is munch more easier to direct all of it's heat on one specific target without wasting excess fire, giving it the ability to solidify into a composition harder than steel thus adding more power too it's piercing, cutting, and concussive power. The downside to Azulin is that it does not have the large range in radius of the Hell Flame and it cannot combust through the open air. It can only be drawn in to one single location to create the flame. Because it contains so munch oxygen, the Azure Flame can survive underneath the water for extended periods of time before resurfacing to gain more oxygen. The Cerulean Flame (Flame of Calamity)-
Once Kazumei's soul is at a state of calm and is able to bring the hell flames to a state of focus, he can activate the Cerulean Flame. Once activated, the dancing flames of hell then slow down until they it could hardly be noticed that they are moving. At this point this is when the flames turn from a hellish orange to a calm cerulean blue. Once this happens, the user now possesses the ability to both absorb and manipulate the very essence of fire. Unlike the Hell Flame, the Cerulean flame does not burn physical matter, and it is not fueled by oxygen or affected by water. Where the Hell Flame would be put out by a water blast, the Cerulean Flame would consume the spiritual energy controlling the water blast and the water would simply fall to the ground. Flesh burns are now rarely seen seen at this stage because of the absorbing ability and control over the hell fire is mastered. Since it is mastered, the user is also bestowed with the ability to fire off concentrated high-density blasts consisting of cerulean fire which can also be fired off through through weapons that serve as beacons for the channeling seishou. Normal tissue attacked by the cerulean Flame results in necrosis, where over the Hell Flame causes incineration. Through the cerulean Flame, the user is able to absorb large amounts of fire and unleash 3 times greater upon their foe at their will. This allows the user to conserve their own seishou and save them the time of converting their own to generate fire. With this, the user can save exponential amounts of seishou as long as their is fire around them within their disposal. However, the cerulean flame is also limited upon seishou. With it, it takes a devastating amount of seishou just to cover their whole hand ablaze in the cerulean flame. With the great strength of the cerulean Flame, it has been known to some of the most powerful techniques yet to be seen. Spreading it across larger areas of the body would take immense training or years of training. ~Special Abilities~Fireproof Suit- An armor specifically designed into the fabric of Saika's cloths to withstand skyrocketing temperatures of his flame magic. It has no resistance against flames originating from enemy fire. It was designed for training purposes and for the fact that Saika continuously kept accidentally burning his cloths away from his body. The purpose of these cloths is not to protect Saika, but moreover anything surrounding him such as friends, opponents, or environment. The suit isn't fireproof against enemy fire, it's only meant to be fireproof against his own. Overall, the suit balances his powers into his own style of magic his very own created mixed hand to hand fighting style. It is used as a medium for each the techniques he uses. Located on the knuckles of his hands are red stone plated gloves, which are used as great medians of Saika's magic. This stone material is probably the most fireproof section of the suit, as it is meant for specifically storing large amounts of fire seishou. ~Extra~
