Weight: 210 pounds
Height: 6’1

Theme song-In The Presence of Enemies-Dream theater (Part 1)(Part 2)

Weapon:Sciomachy: His saber's name directly translates into "fighting with shadows". The orgin of this blade are unknown, even to Tsuukai. Its design is fairly basic as far as saber's go, other then a strange symbol -which looks like a snake eating its own tail- is engraved into it's hilt. The blade itself is made from an unknown tempered metel, and while tsuukai has had the blade for many years it has yet to break, crack, or rust making it look brand new. It is also assumed that the Sword has at least a few magical properties, as it is needed for Tsuukai to preform his most powerful skill.

With that he also carries a short bow on his back, and a full quiver of black tipped arrows. The black tip does nothing more then warn people who it it, and have no magical powers.

Also he carries eight short throwing daggers. If by some unseen luck, his weapon is thrown from his hand they can double as hand to hand weapons, until he can retrive his blade.

Emerald: On Tsuukai's belt he has a belt buckle that is made out of an emerald, now while in itself the emerald has no power in it holds the spirit of a powerfull being, that is known only as "The Dark Master". While trapped in the emerald the dark master has no powers that effect the physical world (Aside from zapping people who touch it) The Spirit held can talk to people telepathicaly, and is able to temporarily lend someone a piece of his power, though this only happens roughly once every year. (Short Bio below)

Armor: He wears light silver chain mail now, as an extra precassion. You can never be to safe.

Strengths: His strength, speed, and enduance are far more then any normal human being, as is his highly advanced mind. He is a genius in most sense, able to do complicated math problems in a matter of seconds, and being able to survey his enemies quickly in order to find there weakness. He is an olympic or higher level fencer, boasting never to have been beaten in a one on one match (though that is only a half truth). Along with that his reaction time is so fast it often it borders on prerecognition.

Weakness: He is over confident which can sometimes lead to mistakes because he overlooked what they where capable of. While he usually stays calm in a battle when he does get angry he becomes careless leaving many opening. He also has a dis advantage in extremely bright lights, as he needs shadows to preform his more advanced techniques(Thous this weakness can be challenged by the fact he is able to lower the lighting in a certain space, however this take energy)

Skills/Magic:

• Flight: His only abilty that is not part of the shadow magic spectrum. He focuses his energy downwards with enough force to cancel the effects of gravity, allowing him to fly above the ground. There are virtually no limits to this ability, and takes very little effort to do.
  
  
• Shadow Ball: His main magical attack involves focusing the shadow energy around, and or in him to form a condensed sphere of shadows. This is then blasted at th e directed target usualy with an explosion at the end. The magnatuid of the explosion, and the size of the sphere all depends on how much power he choses to put into it. The whole process takes a fractin of a second to complete.
  
  
• Black shield: Usuing the same method as above he creates a nearly impenatrable black sheild. The size, and shape is up to question as he can change it at will, but as you have no doubt guessed it takes more energy the bigger the sheild. While this sheild is strong, it is possible to break it with a powerful enough attack.
  
  
• Shadow chain: A unique attack used for various pourposes. He shoots chains of pure shadows out of his wirst. They can be used for anything from melee attacks to pulling him to an area faster, or tieing up an enemy. It is possible to break these chains with enough force.
  
  
• Into The Shadows: He can travel to an alternate demension through shadows. In this relm he can travel back through any shadow, and time moves faster for him, making it seem like he is telepoting if done fast enough. This means he can actualy travel through any shadow based attack (Given they are big enough to fit through). Just a warning.
  
  
• Sense:He is able to sense energy. When someone with high energy is near he gets a numb headach for a second. He closes his eyes and is able to see the figure where ever it may be. He also can sense when a opponent is powering up a high energy attack. The downside is his eyes must be closed to activate it leaving him vurnable to non magical attacks.
  
  
• Infernal Shadow Binding: The only one of his magical attacks that requires him to actually chant the name of the attack. Upon recognition up to five large shadow tentecals emerge from the shadows surronding whomever it was directed at. As you probably guessed from the name the purpose of these tentecals are to trap, and entwine the enemy. They can grow to nearly any length, but have a time limit of 30 seconds, and can be cut with enough force.
  
  
• Aedificium Umbra: (Thats the name I've given this move, Tsuukai doesnt have a name for it) this is a fairly simplistic yet powerfull move. He enhances any of his weapons with shadow given them far greater strength (EX: His sword while in this form shoots a twirling wave of shadows energy, while his arrows move faster, and hit with the impact of a small explosive)

-------Shadow Wave: Either by swinging his blade, or just using his hands tsuukai creats a wave of shadow energy that loves in a straight line untill it hits a target in an explosion. This is sort of a more powerful form of charging his blade with shadow energy.

• Shadow Manipulaton: Along with these skills he is able to actually craft object from shadows, like swords, or chairs. All depends whathe wants, of course it takes more energy to make larger objects. Also he is able to make shadows larger, and even cause the brightness in the area to go down, with enough energy making it almost night, which of course leads to his advantage.

Common Uses
-------Shadow Spear: He creates a five foot tall basic battle spear. The tip is pointed, and the staff is long and rounded. Due to the fact it is made out of metel the entier composition is the eaxct same density, and strength as opposed to a real spear whose staff portion would be weaker. This spear is able to explode on command, but it also has the ability to link with two, or more others spear in a energy chain in order to add an extra boost to the explosion.

--------Shadow Blade: Tsuukai has two different types of shadow blades he can create. He first is a near replica of his origional blade, in everything from size, to density. The other is a four foot long double edged blade. Unlike Tsuukai replica saber this blade is able to explode on command, and often Tsuukai will throw it forward exploding it in mid air to form a cloud of smoke.

--------False Arm: During Tsuukai's battle with the Aura Master, Tsuukai had his left arm burned almost completely off, so Tsuukai molded a shadow arm. Like all shadow creations this one is also able to exp,ode in a furry of purple flames, however due to the fact it is actually attached to his body he rarely does. This flase arm also gives him extra strength in that arm. Tsuukai usually wears a glove on this hand to hide that fact it is not real, incase he needed to use it to his advantage.

• Shadow Mine: Tsuukai creates a small goo like that he plants on the ground. These act as a sort of mine. There are two different types of mines Tsuukai can create. The first is a sort of remote mine, exploding when Tsuukai snaps his fingers, and the other is a proximity mine, so when anything touches it, or gets withen a three inch diameter of it, it will explode. The two different types looks exactly the same, only Tsuukai can tell them apart.
  
  
• Pure black: He rarely uses this. He focuses his energy, and acutally transformes into what looks like a shadow. In this form his claok, and hair wave around as if being blown by a fierce wind, and his eyes glow a brightly. His power increase for both his magical, and physical attacks, as well he can heal himself from most minor wounds before he even losses a drop of blood. It enhances every aspect of him, but can only be held for a certain time limit, which varies depending on the damange he's taken. Usually between 15-45 minutes.
  
  
• Purple Mist: Tsuukai enchanting, and destructive final form. There are two requirments to use this manuver. The first is that he must be in his pure black form before using, and the second: Is that he must have his blade in his hand. Once verbally activated a purple mist (as you no doubt have expected) is expelled from the very bottom of his blade. This blankets over tsuukai, and covers him completely from sight, when the fog is blown away he has a much different apperance. His body is still mostly black, but is covered in strange cryptic violet markings. He Physically looks much bigger, his height reaching about 6'6. His back now has three large spikes lining the center of it, as well as two horns atop his head, all of which deep purple in color. Along with all these changes his eyes now glow red instead of white, giving him a very demonic apperance. All of his other abilites increase as well, from strength, to mind. Unless you are exdrodinarily powerful you will never see this form.

Abilites:
--------Spikes: The main advantage this stage in power are the three spike that line his back. These three has the ability to mutate themselfves to various different appearnces used for attack and defnse. The two most common uses of this ability are the Spide form, and the Sheild form. In the Spider form the spikes on his back split apart to make about six different apendegizes. They then streatch out to form six long skiny spider like legs that lift Tsuukai off the ground. These legs are also able to extend, and pierce through anything at a blinding speed. Since these legs are able to extend he is able to use them to preform various acrobatic moves without blinking any eye. The Sheild form however is much more simplistic, the spikes spread out around him, covering his entire body in a dome like sructer that is unbreakable. The only weakness his mutating spikes is that once they are hit with eough force they have to retreat to their origional state before they can move again.

Apperance: Tsuukai has a very ominous appearence, both physically, and in Attire. He is a rather large man, not only in height, but also in his large build. He usually wears a large thick cloak. This cloak reaches just an inche above the ground. It has three sections, the interior, and exterior of the cloak are made from a thick cloth material. While the inside layer is made from sturdy studded leather making it hard to cut through giving Tsuukai a form of protection. This cloak has sleeves unlike most, and is wide enough to wrap around his entire body of nesccesary. The hood of his this draps over his eyes just enough to farm a deep shadow over his eyes, which can hide his appearence if needed. The entire weighs Tsuukai down a little bit, but he is strong enough for it to have little to no effect. Also he now only has one arm after his battle with Zorlo, but Tsuukai formed a arm out of shadows as his replacment left arm. He usually wears a white glove over this hand, leaving many not to realize that it is a fake. His entire body is actually very tan, despite the fact that most of his body is rarely exposed to direct sunlight. He has deep black eyes, and his hair is long and purple, usually drawn back into a tightly. Most of his weapons are hidden by his cloak other then his blade which is always in its sheeth at his waist.

Personality: Tsuukai is a man plagued by the torment of everyday life. He is cold, and listless, and finds pleasure in nothing of everyday life. He finds nearly all things triffling, and dull, and despite his highly educated mind rarely cares about the details outside of battle. When people speak to him, he listens, but rarely care often repling in short monotone replies almost always cold in nature. Nothing really amuses him, and you can be certain that if you see him laugh he is faking it. He almost always feels depressed and lonely, for no real reason. It is as if a part of him was missing, leaving him cold.

There is only one thing that can break his cycle of depression and cynicalism, and that is battle. When in battle he feels compltete, as if the part that was missing from him was found. He greatly enjoys battle, and in them he is happy, at least a little bit. He is fearless in battle, death not being an issue for him, as he finds the more dangerous the situation the more stimulation his mind gets. He stops at nothing for victory, going to the extrems to acheive it in a way he deems “enjoyable” to the point that he was lower his energy in order to fight weaker opponents.

Though lately he has learned that there might be another way to acheive peace rather then fighting endlessly, he has yet to find it. So untill he learns the truth he seeks out strong opponents to amsue him.

History:
This is the history of the world told in an ancient book, the truth of this book however is debatable. Long before time began there where five gods and five goddess. They where charged with the tasks of creating the imhabatints of all the universes, but they could not decied, and a war broke out. in the midst an idea was purposed, and all agreed. They created one man using half of their power each, and gave him the responsiblity. However after his task was complete they all feared him, but they couldn't retrive their powers, so instead almost all of his powers where locked away in a tower. This tower goes by many names the one used here is the eternal tower.

With his mighty powers the gods created the eternal tower. They put his granted powers in there for all to see their might. One day however a great wizard entered the tower and stole some of the power. After trying to take more a great warrior with the sword of entrapment attacked him. Defeating the wizard he trapped his soul in an emerald never to be seen again.

But the warrior was tempted by the power and took some for him. With the power he took over the world for his own. Until one day a boy came and trapped him with the same weapon the warrior used so long ago. He trapped the warrior into a silver cross and then the boy sacrificed his life to seal the eternal tower. The gods made three keys to the tower so only one who had those three could open it. The keys where the emerald of evil, the cross of light, and the sword of entrapment. Only with these three could one gain entrance to the eternal tower.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Tsuukai’s mother was Japanese and his father was English. His mother was the one to name him. His name roughly meaning thrill, pain

He Grew up in very well to do family and had a very normal childhood. After completing his education and being the highest in his class he decided to take a different root then the one his parents laid out for him.

He started by stealing his town’s most precious object. An emerald that now is placed on his belt buckle. But before he could skip town an old friend named Ralph stood in his way. After failing to talk his way out Ralph drew his sword even through he knew he could not win because Tsuukai was a fencing champion and black belt in ti jit sue (sp).

Ralph was quickly defeated when Tsuukai stabbed his blade through Ralph's leg. He stole a horse and ran to Germany where temptation took him and once again he went back to his stealing ways. This time he took the silver cross now around his neck. The authorities came quickly this time he shoots three of them with his bow killing one of them. He was chased for five day he was finally was caught there was only one man who was still chasing him.

The man charged with his sword at Tsuukai only to be blocked by Tsuukai own blade. Not knowing Tsuukai skill with a sword he foolishly continued the fight. Tsuukai dominated the fight almost killing the man many times. When he was about to finally kill the man Tsuukai was hit by a powerful fire spell from the man. He was shoot on to his back by the power his sword flying too far to reach. The man stepped on to Tsuukai chest pinning him down with his sword on Tsuukai heart about to push down when suddenly the man was stabbed by a dagger and the man fell limp. As Tsuukai grabbed his sword and jumped on his horse he ran far away.

He was nomad never staying in one place for two long. Still a thief and is always ready to shut somebody's big mouth. Often referred to as the black rider he is feared by many and loved by none. Although a thief he will still fight for others if he feels there opponent has an unfair advantage.

. . . . . . . . . .

After many years of fighting Tsuukai had two of the three keys he sought and almost had the third. Until he was slain by a young girl. However the emerald of evil still had the soul of the black wizard. The wizard revived Tsuukai and taught him the power of shadows. Using this power he sought the girl with the sword of entrapment in hopes to steal it and finally enter the eternal tower and challenge the gods for all the worlds.

However he soon lost track of his goal. The publicly named "Master of Shadows" Was sought after by the evil, and ingenious Queen Stacia. He soon found himself on the small greek island of Crete, and this is where he met the girl that would change his life. Little did he know that thid girl would bring about his downfall...

After traveling for months, and enduring many hardships the pair found themselfs at Stacia's Palace. However it was a trap, ordering Maria away, Tsuukai took on the combined powers of Shinu, Stacia, and Nekatsuki, noly to fail, and be infected.

After a battle with his Rival Zorlo, he returned to his senses just in time for him, Zorlo, and Maria to be blindsided by the Evil Shinu. After Maria confessed her feelings, she was felled in battle, and nearly killed, giving Tsuukai enough reason to defeat Shinu. After he, and Zorlo finshed off the demon, he brought Maria to a near by hospital. After about a week Tsuukai, and Maria left, and continued their next journey. Where too? Only the gods in heaven know.
