STRENGTHS:
Kenji because of his past gave him the gift or curse depending on if you ask him, gives him an exceeding amount of strength and speed that beyond a normal person. His body is also able to resist a considerable amount of pain while the affect takes a toll on him if treated he seems never to be left with any scars exept for the first one he ever got during the transplant. While he may be hotheaded he exerts a surprising amount of concentration to be able to manipulate his flames with his mind while his body is running rampant. Since he was young Kenji has been trained in the art of close-quarter combat, with his katana, and over the years he has become quite formidable with it some even consider him an expert. As well he has an amazing capacity for stamina, though not without it's own drawbacks.
WEAKNESSES:
While on the outside Kenji may seem strong and unbreakable, on the inside he is everything, but that. Because of his childhood, during certain situations he can be prone to getting flashbacks which either set him off or send him into a stunned state. As well his persona out of combat and in combat are two different people almost entirely. During fighting Kenji gets hotheaded and arrogant working poorly with others and always trying to take things head on and won't let anything get in his way of killing his enemy no matter who it is. While his procedure enhanced a lot of his physical attributes they also came with heavy drawbacks. Though he has amazing stamina when he hits his limit it's not like he just collapses, he destroys his own body when fighting to might. The strength he uses is to much for his bones and muscles when fighting so when he hits his limits, it's as if everything goes at once and he goes limp unable to even move an inch while being in an incredible amount of agony. While his heart was what he was suppose to have fix it's still his crutch, at random times his heart will give way and it's as if he was just shot in the heart. Though he does have pills to counter the affects that he takes daily, if he does forget to take them his heart creeps up on him at any moment.
PERSONALITY:
Kenji is usually seen as the life of the party, or as a class clown by others. With a happy aura that seems to come off of him almost all the time many enjoy being around him just to enjoy some good laughs and have fun. He is also very supportive as a friend and likes to help others with anything, even though he may get lazy and turn into a slug half way through. Along with his supportive attitude he is highly protective of his friends in fear that they might not be their when he turns around to look back at them. While some see it as annoying Kenji enjoys getting close to people, though he keeps his past a secret from almost everyone, and likes to get people out of their comfort zone and break into their bubbles. Though it may seem he would make friends easily, he has no true friends expect Riku, since he may have fun and hang around with a group, but almost just as quick joining them he is to leave as he never feels actual connections with anyone. He longs for a true bond between someone which can be hard since some people are intimidated by his outgoing personality.
At the same time of him being very friendly he can be extremely headstrong. Almost always Kenji is prone to getting into fights and is quite violent as said by almost anyone who knows of him. With very few things he will back down from even if he knows he will lose, though he hates losing and the term sore loser is almost an exact match to him. Still their is a difference between his "play" fighting and his real fighting. When it comes to fighting daemons he becomes someone almost entirely different. The whole supporting people and wanting to help goes right out the window and he will charge right in without any form of a plan. Trying to work with him during combat is like trying to give a cat a bath, almost always it never works out. He also becomes increasingly angry and it's common for him to lash out at those around him. Not to mention it's a very poor idea to try and get between him and his foe as hes not afraid to try and go right through you.
Kenji's past has been his darkest hour, and has created some bad sides of him. Though he tries not to let it hinder him, with it working most of the time, but here and there he slips on through. Like when he is fighting Daemons or when he tries to make emotional connections with people, but in general he is seen as very outgoing. Which some like and others can find annoying, but Kenji cares little for what others think about him as he is use to being talked about being his appearance is quite unusual. Because of his procedure he has gained a tail, elongated ears, and slight fangs which some see as Daemon traits which has caused countless situations when he was younger. Because of those situations he keeps his tail hidden and plays his ears off as just a weird trait. Whenever he is not alone he keeps his tail wrapped around his torso, and since no one has ever really gotten close to him no one has ever found out about it and his past since he started school.
For two years he was given pills and regular blood tests with special exams every few months. The problem had been slowed, but not cured. They were put up in a sizable house, bigger then any they had ever come close to living in and it was connected to a laboratory where Kenji would take his tests though they were not allowed to explore at all. It was about that time when Kenji's father started to teach him how to use a Katana, as to give him the families heirloom when when he was ready to receive it. The days passed by slowly Sato and Kenji lived out a seemingly happy life as they both assumed all was going well since their had been no problems and soon Kenji would be free of his supposed fate. Though it wasn't an ordinary life for Kenji since he didn't get to meet anyone of his own age or have any friends it was ok since his father made him laugh and have fun day in and day out. He even started to teach him how to cook, with so much free time on his hands he devoted himself to practicing his cooking and sword skills. That's when the shadows started to appear.
Out of the blue the group of doctors asked Sato for the family Katana saying they needed something to create as a medium as to separate the hex that was placed on him. It was strange as Sato had been told it was a rare heart condition and not any hex related issue, but he was not in the position to refuse as it meant the end of the line for sure with not much time left. Kenji had two familiers Riku and Seath who kept him company whenever he needed it. His heart though was reaching it's limits, the pains came almost daily and the pills which had once kept it at bay seemed almost ineffective now. Sato begged the doctors to quicken whatever method they had discovered, a slow grin peaked through the fake smiles as they said if he handed Kenji over to them for a week he would be cured, but he couldn't have any contact with him what so ever in the time frame as it would mess with the process. He could see something wasn't right here, but their was nothing left for him to do so he accepted.
The days went by for Sato dark and lonely each passing second seemed like a million years, but soon it would all be fixed. Or so he thought, the part of the laboratory that was set up as a clinic was only a front for a larger, darker reason. Behind the closed doors was a group of not doctors, but scientists who wished nothing more then the destruction of all demons from this world at any cost. They saw the human face as weak though since all we could do was stay on the defensive never taking back the world which was ours. So they sought out a way to make a hybrid of human and fae and in doing so they would be gods, but it could not work the host to a fae spirit would die and the reverse would be an uncontrollable fae which was more of a daemon then a fae. So they tried mixing a human and daemon, but the result was the same it seemed as if it was impossible until they tried one last attempt at it with a chance in ideas. Through countless tests they had learned a daemon would empower the body until it was ripped apart, but a fae would drain the body because the body would be attempting to control the power so what if you mixed the two to counter act the affects, but the two couldn't be placed in a single body so that's when the family sword came into play.
Using the blade as a medium they could take the spirit of one of his blood linked familiars and link it to him giving him the powers that way though it would still drain him until he died, but by implanting daemon blood and other parts into him and using him as a medium for a daemon they could achieve a balance and make a being that could cleanse this world of daemons and weak humans. As the week slowly went by it came to an end when the link between the blade and his familiar worked though Seath was killed in the process his power was now in the blade, but it was successfully linked with Kenji. With the daemon planted in him as well his body was able to balance the power and the liquid drained for the tube he was being kept in. As Kenji opened his eyes gaining conciseness he looked around to see failed projects and testing going on, the scene shocked him to his core. Instantly he could feel Seath's disappearance, but the scientists just looked at him with wide grins explaining to him what he was. A daemon inside with a link to fae power an unstoppable force and soon an army would be raised of people just like him. Just hearing them explain that set him off, having to deal with the fact he had lost Seath forever and knowing that he was a daemon now. The held up a mirror, all Kenji could see was strange ears and a blackened daemonic tail. Instantly he exploded into a rage and for the first time blue flames exploded from his body and they jumped for excitement, one of them approached with the Watasku in an attempt to give it to him to see his true power slowly unsheathing it as he got closer. Kenji reached out, but they assumed he was reaching for the blade instead he grabbed the mans wrist and set him ablaze. Their reaction changed just like that they had realized what they had created a monster who they could not tame, spouts of flames shot all over burning anything and everything they made contact with no one could run. Kenji picked up the blade and the sheathed and combed the laboratory slaying anyone who would get in his way though the daemon instincts were what was really in control.
Sato awoke to the smell of burning and when he looked out the window the whole building was set ablaze by blue flames. He rushed over hoping that Kenji would be alive inside, but when he opened the front doors he was meet with the last of the scientists rushing towards him shouting daemon and save me. Sato drew his pistol, as he was a slayer he was ready to fight what ever daemon showed up, but he wasn't truly ready. As around the corner with bright blue flames everywhere his ten year old son with a black tail and long ears approached and with only a flick of the blade which had been used to only kill daemons for centuries sent a stream of blue flames cutting down the last of the fleeing scientists. All that was left was his father that stood between him and the doorway. Though he had lost all control all he wished was death, his fathers cries and pleads fell on deft ears. Sato had realized that he was the reason his son had become this way and his only thought was to fix what he had done. Rushing forwards dodging the incoming blasts of flames he slide right up to Kenji pistol in hand all that was needed was one bullet and it would be over he would be alive and his son freed from his curse, but his life as well. Instead though he grabbed the sheath and the handle of the Katana and slide it closed sheathing it. The flames slowly diminished and Kenji resumed control over his body, but it was to late when his eyes refocused all he saw was his father smiling with blue flames covering his body slowly burning him away. Kenji broke out in tears, but it was too late his father was gone.
With no where left to go he returned home to Kozamu though with his tail hidden and a sadden expression on his face. He found his fathers best friend who was a doctor back home he asked for a check up and that was all, but his fathers friend asked where was Sato. Kenji burst into tears once more and went over the whole story, the story left only a shocked expression on the friends face, but it soon turned to a face of pity. He gave him a home and taught him how to control his flames as best he could after a check-up though they learned a sad truth the scientists who thought they created a new race were far from it. His body only lasted because he had the will to tame the power, but they failed to understand that power couldn't cure his heart so he was still endanger of his heart giving way. Though it seemed as if the chance of failure had lessened and he had a chance to possible live out a full life he took it easy and didn't exert himself. Night after night, day after day he slumped around the house not muttering a word it wasn't until his fathers friend, who became his foster father, told him that his father would not wish him to be this way and the reason he sacrificed himself was so that he could live a full life. The words hit Kenji deep and the darkness around him started to fade. He decided he was going to life a new life and leave his past behind him and honor his father by becoming someone who smiled and played like they did when he was young. He spent about four years training and having fun around the town, but he felt incomplete his father was a skilled slayer back in his time, but he gave it up when Kenji was born. So he saw it as another way to honor his father and so he thanked his foster father and set off for the one place where he could learn to kill daemons and become the greatest slayer in history. With Riku at his side and his tail hidden he set off a daemon ready to kill daemons.
WEAPONS:
Kenji uses the blade of his ancestors the Watasku. The Katana has been passed down from father to son for as long as someone can trace in his timeline. Though Kenji was not given the chance to get the blade handed to him by his father, he did claim it after finding it and uses it as his main weapon during combat besides his flames and Riku. For him the blade is the last thing he has of his father and so he keeps it very close to him and treasures it more then his very own life. Because of the advancement in technology though Kenji was able to find someone to modify the sheath of the blade so that it is able to repress his own magick when sheathed, but when unsheathed it would unleash his full powers. The reason this must be done is because his body was never meant to be able to handle that much energy, without it being suppressed when not fighting he would have died when he was a child. Still he insisted it not be permanently sealed as it comes in handy when fighting as it lets him fully let go and unleash his power.
MAGICK:
While most think Kenji uses a strange form of fire magick that is farm from the truth. He born a slayer, summoner with almost no magick compatibility at all though he did gain a form of magick after his procedure. After he was fused with Seath he gained the abilities of Seath and was able to manipulate the blue flames that were unique to his familiar. Though it was to much for his body when young he was able to seal most of the powers away because of the Watasku's combination with technology he was able to suppress the powers when not needed and unleash them when the time is right. Kenji is still able to manipulate and conjure his blue flames when his blade is sheathed, but it is on a very small scale. Only when his blade is unsheathed does he gain full control over his blue flames and is able to conjure a large amount. It is quite obvious when he does it as well, because as his blade is unsheathed a aura almost of blue flames start to appear around him and a flash of flames come from the inside of the sheath. The flames them self are extremely hot and the only one who seems resistant to them are Kenji himself.
FAMILIARS:
Kenji when a child had two familiers Riku and Seath who were twins they looked so similar the only thing that made them seem different were two things. First they had polar opposite personalities with, Riku being playful and energetic and following Kenji very close hating to have any distance between them. Riku was and still is most commonly found perched on Kenji's shoulder and when he sleeps Riku lays right on Kenji's back. Though Seath on the other hand was serious and liked to sleep a lot. He was not even half as clingy as Riku was as well. The only other thing beside voice that made them different were their powers. Seath had the power to manipulate a blue flame with absolute precision. While Riku is able to manipulate his size, though to not strain Kenji to much he keeps only two sizes most of the time. When just out and about he is the size of a cat, but when in combat or if Kenji just wants a ride he grows to be a quite large being the shape of a tiger, but with the size of a medium sized elephant. Along with the size change he gains strength and speed to match his size. Both are able to speak to Kenji with a mind link, but they are unable to speak to anyone else the sounds they make only come out as a cat noise. Riku is Kenji's only current familiar though since Seath was fused together with Kenji, thus granting him Seath's abilities and some others, but not without some costs. That's history though.
SKILLS:
Cooking have you tasted true greatness, no? Then you have not tasted Kenji's cooking, since he was young Kenji has been cooking almost as much as he practices his sword play. Because he eats an excessive amount of food he always wanted the food to be perfect. So over the years Kenji has perfected his cooking style. Anyone who has been around him before for even a bit of time has tasted his food and a part of them had to of fallen in love. Other then that if you call being late to everything a useful skill or sleeping a lot. Maybe the art of reading who knows, but when it comes to skills that benefit other or even himself Kenji doesn't have to many of those. Really his personality carries him through everything.
