Personality:
Setsuna is a heartless and callous person. It is believed that his soul is not consumed by his sword because he has none. He hates the living, but no longer seeks to destroy all that has life, instead seeking out those who are evil, and killing them exclusively. Some believe this to be a sign of humanity, however he sees it as a deal he has made with the devil.
History:
Setsuna’s past is very hard to discover, as what he will tell you sounds so far fetched that it couldn’t possibly be true. He will tell you that he was created, not born, in the world beyond hells gate. And that in such a world, he learned to hate all life… Not to envy, as many modern demons do, but simply hate it as it represented how weak those who lived had become. He will claim that, after two hundred years, he became fed up with what humanity had become, and beseeched the dark prince to allow him passage to this plane, to purge it of all life. Apparently not able to grant this request, he made a deal with Setsuna. If he granted him passage beyond hells gates, he would be allowed to kill all who deserved to be sent to hell, but only those who were evil, and never anyone who’s heart was pure.
One thing that seems to support his claims is that there are no records anywhere in either the magical or non magical communities, and as such, it seems that he did not exist before some time three years ago. What is certain, is that when he appeared back then, he approached a man in Japan named Genzou and showed him a mark on his right palm. Genzou, seeming to recognise the mark instantly agreed to make him a sword of unimaginable power. He took a plate of black steel, a rare ore that was known to be near indestructible. He worked on the sword for 80 days, crafting a katana that had been made with over 10 thousand folds, to remove any imperfections the metal may have retained. He then sacrificed his life before Setsuna on the 80th day of work, finally completing the weapon. As Setsuna plunged the katana’s black blade deep into Genzou’s chest, the dark pact was sealed. The weapon from that day forth would hunger for the souls of the damned…
It is well known to the small Japanese village the cause of Genzou’s death, and so they called Setsuna a demon. But much to their surprise, he just smiled and said “Yes… I am…” Leaving the shocked villagers, he stayed in Tokyo for two years, learning to channel his being into his powers. Every day he became quicker… Stronger… His powers seemed to come to him naturally the more he trained… The more he killed…
It wasn’t long before one of his acts was witnessed by a tracer. He had killed a mafia crime boss on the rooftop of his corporate business, taking his soul into his dark blade. An ordinary looking owl swooped down from nearby the tracer, returning Setsuna his scabbard, and seeming to let him know that he had a visitor. Setsuna wasted no time in turning on his heel and bolting towards the watching figure. And with a freakish kind of grace, he leapt from the rooftop he himself was on, landing on the opposing roof only feet away from the tracer.
His grin was dangerous, and even the tracer seemed to loose his once strong stance. Quickly recovering, the tracer told him that he was violating the laws put in place by the magical society to protect their secret, and that he had two choices. He could either come back to Babylos and join their academy, or suffer the consequences. Setsuna advanced on the tracer menacingly, forcing him to take a step backwards. However, as the tracer prepared to fight back, Setsuna laughed quietly. “A magical city in the clouds huh? Sounds interesting…”
Style:
Setsuna uses something known as ‘Dark Lightning’. In combination with his Blade of Eighty Days, he is able to channel this dark energy through his weapon. Although this is indeed his preferred method of use, he is still able to channel the lightning through other objects, and even throw it to some extent. The style’s origins are unknown, but he claims that they are powers granted to him by the devil himself.
Strengths:
Moves lightning fast, and hits very hard. His sword is dangerously quick, and when it strikes his opponents body, not only cuts the flesh, but seems to cut the targets very essence. This does not add any extra damage, but leaves the victim feeling chilled to the core.
Weaknesses:
His variety of spells is not very wide, and he cannot cast very many before he completely depletes his mana reserves. While his skills may seem superhuman, his body is still mortal, and thusly will take the same damage as any ordinary person. This is not aided by the fact that he never wears any kind of armour or protection thicker than regular un-enhanced clothing.
Spell List:
The caster can charge dark lightning through a conductive element (such as a metal or liquid), discharging a deadly jolt on contact with another being. This is often used in conjunction with a swing of a sword or other metallic object, but can also be utilised to electrify a body of liquid.
The spells drain on the casters mana is completely dependant on how much the caster choses to discharge.
The caster throws a bolt of dark lightning from their open palm towards their target. The lightning however, works in much the same way regular lightning works, and so if the target is too far away, the bolt will just ark to the ground. Once it strikes, the caster can chose to stay ‘connected’ to their target for a longer period of time, however the drain on the casters mana is immense when held for longer than an instant.
The spells drain on the casters mana is completely dependant on how much the caster choses to discharge.
Much weaker than Jolt, this spell allows the caster to throw a ball of concentrated dark lightning a much further distance. These can be thrown in succession, but deal only moderate damage.
The spells drain on the casters mana is completely dependant on how many the caster choses to discharge.
A skill only Setsuna has. Extending his arm out with his limp hand facing down, he snaps it back up, clenching his fist. Blood suddenly fills his palm, and his opponent feels the fires of hell searing through their body, and experiences the agony of death. Although this spell leaves no physical damage afterwards, it’s psychological effects have been known to send some men insane. This spell is reserved only for those he claims to have specific orders to deal with.
The spell has a very small drain on his mana, and is more of an opening move than anything else. It is however reserved for very specific targets, and otherwise never used.
Weapons/Gear:
A katana with a black blade that cuts through the air like nothing else. Although it’s true name is ‘The Blade of Eighty Days’, upon which it was named by its creator for the 80 days it took to carve the weapon. Setsuna however, has been known to simple call it the ‘Dark Blade’ for ease of use. The sword has a magical imbuement that literally eats the spirit of those he kills with it. In a similar manner, no one other than Setsuna can wield it for very long, as the blades hunger for souls will eat away at the users life force the longer they hold it.
