Yasashiku Kaima

[Yasashiku Kaima]

Name: Yasashiku Kaima (given name - family name format)

Age: 19

Race: Harmonizer (See below for more details)

Likes: Peace, calm, reading, drawing

Dislikes: Discrimination, war/senseless bloodshed, and pain

Background: In spite of his traditional Japanese name, Yasashiku was born and raised in the western world, and is perfectly fluent in English, as well as Japanese (although his English accent ruffles his Japanese one, and not the other way around). Yasashiku is a kind and polite young man, who possesses the calm and the intelligence of those who have lived for far longer than himself. He shows great paternal concern for many of those around him, and cares deeply for those in need of his aid. Although he does not boast the overly muscular frame of a hardened warrior, he is a powerful being regardless of his seemingly frail appearance.
In spite of being portrayed as a weak pushover by his physical appearance, Yasashiku is in fact a deadly foe, and a caring young man who puts the well-being of others, human or no, above all else.

Yasashiku was raised in the rolling hills of England, in the care of his aunt and his mother after the premature death of his young father. As a child, Yasashiku enjoyed reading, and adored the fresh greenery of his surroundings, and the calm that they brought with them. The years slowly passed by, and Yasashiku continued to immerse himself in his reading and rigorous training regime as he matured.

One day, after reading one of his many books based upon mythology, came upon the legend of the Sidhe, and with his innocent curiosity piqued, he delved into further research which circled around their homes and natural habitats. Yasashiku stumbled upon a book that spoke of the tale of 'The Forest of Chepi', a magnificent, prosperous haven for not only the Sidhe, but for others who were deemed 'inhuman', such as himself. With his mind already made up, Yasashiku informed his mother of the journey he wanted to make, and invited both her and her sister to join him to experience the journey, but they declined, and allowed the young man to make the trip on his own, knowing full well that he would return every now and then to pay brief visits to his friends and loved ones.

Yasashiku set off for the Forest, free of any restraints, ready for another chapter of his life to slowly unfold before him.

Description: A pale-skinned and beautiful young man. Yasashiku has long golden blond hair that ends at the base of his spine, and his eyes are an unnaturally soft dark green, which compliment his gentle and warm smile. He is tall for his age, and sports a lean, lightly-muscled frame.

About Harmonizers

Among normal human beings, there lives hundreds, maybe thousands of individuals born with special abilities. From immense magical influence, to creatures of the night, there will always be those that stand out from the flocks of regular human beings. One of these races, often over-looked by most, are those who make up the Harmonizer race.

Unlike normal humans, Harmonizers have the unique talent to harness the powers of souls around them, and in turn, can fuse both mentally and physically with these apparitions in order to morph themselves into a wide array of shapes and forms, all with specialized characteristics and traits. These souls install particular emotions into the Harmonizer when synchronized with their body and mind, and uses for these fusions can vary depending on the skills or the background of the soul(s), and can include doing battle, or curing those who may be wounded or on the verge of death.

In addition, the mental clarity of Harmonizer also bestows upon them the ability to see spirits, from human souls who have not yet passed on, to mythical spirits similar to those which they have made pacts and alliances with in the past.

Yasashiku's Fusions

Almathea - A Seraphim. Both a powerful foe and a potent healer, Almathea is a great asset to all whom Yasashiku may side with. Almathea's gender is unknown, but many simply assume that the warrior angel is male due to Yasashiku's own gender, but the mystery still remains today at whether Almathea is male, female or neither. Almathea's weapons of choice are its halo that rotates around its feet, and of course holy magic given unto it by God himself.

Shikisokuzekuu (All is vanity) - An ancient Japanese dog demon, also referred to as an Oni. Its power is colossal for its small and human-like stature, and is able to wield its prized weapon, a black metal club that even the most powerful of men could not attempt to lift, with the greatest of ease. The sheer strength of the blows that Shikisoku can throw have been said to split the earth, and call upon the very heavens themselves. Shikisoku is also able to harness the powers of magic compulsory to many demons in his age, although he mainly does battle with this tremendous physical strength alone.

Malignant Omnipotence - "The Pulse" - The very incarnation of hate, malevolence, and malice. When it reveals itself, it is said that the very beacon of hope held for the world has been extinguished. To prevent such an omen from gracing the planet, The Pulse was sealed by the Harmonizer known as Yasashiku Kiyoshi, and before his death, it was passed on to his son, Kaima, in the father's fear of releasing the spirit to wreck havoc upon the planet.

Because of the sickening influence it naturally emits, combined with the sheer weight of the spirit itself, it takes great mental capacity to withstand the simple task of containing it, something that Yasashiku is adept in doing, due to the training which he persisted with as a child at the request of his father. Not only can Yasashiku withstand the weight of Malignance in his human form, but he can also sustain his sanity whilst synchronising with it, and can therefore fuse with it without any danger of the soul running rampant.

Many who have attempted to contain Malignant Omnipotence in the past quickly fell into the depths of insanity, or became tainted by its malice against their own will, but it seems as though the Yasashiku family have far more strength and endurance in their souls compared to those of remaining Harmonizer families.



"It...causes great destruction on a whim. When seen, it is said to be a beacon for the end of the planet's hope. It can pollute souls and rot them to their very cores, but only if it does not have a body, and if it is not dominated by another. If it was free, it would kill all that stood in its path without a thought for every thousandth it slaughtered.

"And I'm its vessel."

Yasashiku's Hex

As the essence of Malignant Omnipotence was passed onto Kaima from his father, Yasashiku Kiyoshi, the world was blessed with a second generation of protection from the malevolent bringer of destruction -- but with the weight of the creature came a brand new danger for Kaima to endure.

A few years short of Kaima's eighteenth birthday, a defense mechanism of sorts was unleashed by Malignance, a mechanism that would make it more difficult for it to be contained if the soul bearer were to reach a weakened or near fatal state. This defense came in the form of a hex, a curse that would ensure that if any chance of the Harmonizer dying came to light, then it could be exploited by the very kindness that was supposed to save him.

The effects of this curse are listed below;

• Any curative spells cast upon Kaima by the Seraph known as Almathea diminish in strength, no matter how potent they are to cast upon others. This means that even though it is possible to pull others from the brink of death itself in a short space of time, it takes much longer for Kaima to regain his lost vitality.
  
  
• Any curative spells cast upon Kaima by a third party (someone who is not Almathea) worsen his physical state dramatically. The more powerful they are, the worse the damage done.
  

Not only does the curse heighten the probability of Kaima shuffling loose the mortal coil, but it also acts as a method of distancing others from him, something which is vital for the freedom of Malignance, for if there is no one to have a child with the Harmonizer, then the bloodline will fade away, along with the containers used to suppress the soul.
