Character Information
Name(Meaning): Itsuki Karasu (Karasu= "raven, crow")
Age (generation): Unknown; third generation Celestial
Lineage: N/A
Relatives: A daughter named Nami
Ranks/Titles: Rebel
Realm: Nigenkai (currently); previously Joukai, then Makai.
Pacts: With the element of Sound; can also use fire.
Special Abilities:
Saccade [Tremor Eye]:
These eyes, characterized by golden eyes with an orange sunburst around the pupil, enable Karasu to in essence, hear with his eyes. The activation of the Saccade allows him to see vibrations created by most any type of motion in nature, making it a very effective tracking ability. The vibrations are given to sight in the form of differently-colored fluorescent lines over a dimmed, desaturated backdrop which are interpreted by a section of the brain connected to the Saccade, allowing Karasu to know what type of vibration is being presented to them (footstep, voice, etc). As a result, when the Saccade is activated, regular vision is only somewhat compromised, but is in the same token enhanced, as most anything in nature possesses kinetic energy and therefore is in motion, no matter how minute.
Flow:
Itsuki's ability to manipulate sound has remained intact, even after his fall. In the same way the other Elemental wielders use their abilities, he can bend the vibrations responsible for sound in any and every way imaginable.
Allegience: To himself
Race: Celestial--Demiangel; a Dragon in his past life
Birthdate: August 27th
Birthplace: Celestial Realm; The Mortal Realm in his past life.
Sexuality: Straight
Significant Other: N/A; previously Kamori Kasumi (mother of Nami)
Personality: Karasu can come off as somewhat crude and shallow at times, however, it has been proven that his surface attitudes don't reflect what thoughts provoke him underneath. Whatever complex mechanism drives his sporadic movements does so in a fairly secretive fashion; as well, it compels him to spend him to spend hours upon hours in silent contemplation and calculation.
In the arena, the former fallen takes a less tactical and more aggressive edge - he is especially known for his mix of eastern and western sword styles into what can only be described as "The luckiest kinjutsu ever."
History: It was a day of complementing, obscure and impossible circumstances; that they would cloacae, especially on the same day, was undeniable proof that something spectacular was afoot. First, though it was in the dead-center of another warm Japanese summer, the sky outside clouded and the temperature dropped; it snowed. Of course, such a thing was nearly unheard of, barring an attack on the populous or an act of god, so the people took notice. It was by their taking notice, and acting according to their fears, that the second event unfolded: the great purging. It was on that day that the enraged populous took it upon themselves to find and annihilate whatever force had spawned the early winter, (because such a thing would ruin the entire economy of the village, if it succeeded in killing all the plant life, and cause hundreds of deaths) their first targets: the Wyrm population.
Karasu’s family just happened to fall into that category.
The third event was his very birth; the birth of a new and more powerful heir to the bloodline than either of his parents before him. After his mother and father fled to take shelter in an outcropping along the provincial border, they were horrified to find that the child had picked that day to come into the world; he wouldn’t be denied. Several hours of labor and desperate attempts to keep from hypothermia later would mark the end of that day. Soon after, his parents were able to return to their home, though nonetheless estranged from the community that had almost spelled death for them and their baby. That bitterness would carry on for many subsequent years.
When he was five, Itsuki found his talent and interest in being a Mage; it fit him over going to a regular school and adopting a civilian life. The first sign that he would surpass his mother and father appeared in a simple, iron horse he magically crafted from discarded shreds of metal he found in an alley. At the time he couldn’t comprehend his parent’s reaction: they were scared. Because Itsuki was so adept at controlling his magic at such a young age, they feared he would suffer the same outcaste existence they were forced to endure: they forbade him from even touching anything else of outlandish origin or even partial composition. However, he never heeded to that rule.
Skip a lot of dramatic filler in between...
Before he ascended to the throne of Heaven or descended to conquer Hell, Karasu was of the last Dragons to live on Earth. A lonely soul, he wandered the ages and continents searching for a place to belong; a place he would find within the court of Miyazawa Chiyo - it would be a short lived one: interrupted when he was assassinated by Yamazaki Rei. However, his death and subsequent rebirth into the Celestial realm would make him more powerful than ever before and an eternal thorn in the Rai-ou's side. Living as an Arch Angel, Karasu continued his relationship with Chiyo until his promotion to King of the 5th layer. From that position of power, he began to "judge" all those he found unfit to reign in heaven, and dished out punishments according to his design. As expected, his brand of justice didn't sit well with the Elders, whom he considered corrupt and unappreciative of his efforts, so he was cast into the pit as a fallen.
[See official history for details following.]
Weapons:
Rhythm and Blues:
A blue-bladed Katana, usually kept inside a bright red, chain bound sheath at Karasu's right side. This ancient sword is formed of the highly durable Damascus steel and was given to the rebel angel by a great Mage during his stint on Earth. Its basic function is that of an amplifier: it takes any ambient vibrations floating through the air and absorbs them, effectively silencing an area of about 30ft within its radius. Following absorption, Itsuki can direct a deep blue, high frequency sonic boom capable of obliterating nearly anything within its path; save, of course magical barriers and the like. However, because it inadvertently absorbs any sound it comes into contact with, Karasu has been forced to keep it magically sealed when not in use
