Life is an illusion
Ikarugi is a slightly more stoic and calm person when it comes to difficult situations. He usually will not talk unless he has pertinent information of the conversation or if he finds someone as a close friend that he is fond of. Ikarugi is usually found to be very aloof as he doesn't take too much in the affairs of the living though he will put his life on the line if it means protecting those of the guild.
Ikarugi carries a sword on his back which he uses as a main line of offensive using his magic in his other hand for a dual combination of strength and willpower. He also carries a Radio to be in contact with the guild if he is chosen to partake in a mission without any comrades.
Ikarugi had always had an interesting connection with the "Other side" as he could freely converse with spirits at a young age, due to this spirits of the past warned him about this and told him to keep it a secret as it could lead to some problems later on. Growing up he had always had a wandering Spirit accompany him which he had a link to so that they could speak through his mind as not to seem strange to others as he would be talking to thin air, this spirit had been there to look after him and tell him many stories of the past and how in death that you could move on to the afterlife whenever one wanted to and even return if one so chooses and that life is an illusion as you never truly die. Upon reaching his teen years the spirits decided to train him in using Pure Soul magic as it would deepen his connection with the other side. Over the years of his teens he had chosen a seldom life from others and spent days hiding in secret to train his magic, at the age of 20 having completed his training and traveling the world he came across a mark from Fairy Tale and had headed to one of the meeting points of the guild. From then on become one of the founders using odd jobs to both increase the revenue of the guild and his own at the same time keeping Knights off their backs.
