Personality

Melik Cloud is a good kid at heart, however is known majorly for his mischievous as well as his arrogance. The mischievousness is something that he works on due to finding out that he risks friendships and relationships over it. The arrogance however is a result of his mother telling him how great he was and that he no matter what should strive to overcome life’s challenges; Hence why he runs about claiming to be “The Best.” Most people write him off as being overzealous, which at times he is, but he really does have the determination for such feats.

He cares very much about and can get very emotional about his comrades and friends. In his village, family value was something looked very highly upon, and is also something he continues to be passionate about even in their absence. When it comes to those he loves, it isn’t hard for him to drop a tear or two, depending on the situation. At the same time if he were to see someone failing where they could do better, he get’s passionately angry at them as well.

Focus. This is something the boy lacks so often but serves as one of his strong points. He is easily distracted unless the situation at hand one serious enough to gain his full attention. This often results in him either losing a battle, or failing at an assignment. He does however have it when necessary. When he takes the time to meditate and think about his actions before doing them, the result is quite amazing. Coupled with his determination to overcome anything, this is clearly where the boy shines. Very few things stop him from achieving his goals.

Backstory

On my low rise cotton mattress I laid. I was supposed to be sleep. My mother told me to go to sleep. We both knew that that would be impossible tonight. I watched the light of fire reflect off my wall. I smelled the burning incense of magical spells, and the stench of sulfurous arrows armed to bows. I heard the screams of my clan, the Cloud clan, and the roars of that relentless demon they fought with all their might. There was only one person that stop it… my mother.

She was a witch, or in other words, a human born with a higher spiritual essence than others. Hers was much more powerful, as a matter of fact no other has been recorded to have an essence even close to her abundance. I was recorded as having almost the same as hers at birth. Which perhaps is why she did what she did… to protect me. See, by decree of the government, witches were ordered to be either exiled or put to death, because their high essence was thought to attract mystical creatures, and demons, like the one that was attacking our village right now. This is where the story gets sticky.

My father, who works as a high ranking soldier in our government, fell in love with my mother, who he knew was a witch. This beget me. Soldiers were allowed to marry those in the villages and bring them into the higher class societies, however one marrying a witch would never be acceptable, and so they kept it quiet. For years he visited my mother in secret, and for years he came to see me and treat me as his son. This continued until they started to see signs of a demon, and not just any, this was a Haakai, among the most powerful of them. Signs included possessions, increased crime, and sightings. There was only a matter of time before it struck.

He left us when that happened; he stopped coming to visit, because he knew that the reason the demon was there was because of my mother. My mother told me after a while, that if I saw my father, I needed to stay away from him and come see her immediately. On a daily basis she would write runes with the finest of ink all over my skin, and told me not to wash them off In a week’s time I was covered with them all over my back, chest, arms and legs. I overheard talk between her and my aunt, that he wanted us dead, and that he would kill us himself if it meant the demon would leave. But it was too late, it was already attacking.

My mother burst into my room, her face adorned with a smile and tears. They looked so beautiful, like jewels on her cheeks. She placed her lips to my forehead and reminded me who I was as she always did, reminded me that I was the best, and that no one could tell me different. Then she took my hand and led me outside. So calmly she walked past downed soldiers, hurting villagers, those getting lacerated, and ripped apart by the wiles of the Hakaai, soul reaping shadow demon known as Carnage.

She walked right up to him and placed me in front of him. She told me she loved me and placed her hand on my head. I felt as if my soul were being sucked through those runes as I watched that evil, demonic being run towards me. It pounced, and all out once, it, and all of my soul and essence, that I thought was leaving me forced itself into me with such a force that I fell over, conscious yet comatose. My mother infused and sealed that demon in me to save the village… I soon found that it would save my life…

My mother fell over from overuse of essence, and magical ability. My father and his men arrived on scene just after the incarnation of the beast. However, he wasted no time and pointing out my mother as the culprit… the witch. He took the sword to her heart right before my eyes. My mother was gone. Another man tried to come and do the same to me, however the demon within lashed out, and in seconds dark blades pierced all who approached me. My father, being one of the last left alive, ran away. I wasn’t acting on my own, the demon within was now in control, but acting to protect it’s host. It’d killed the attackers and now it was time for safety. In my had a sword of despair formed from the depths of my own blood, and swiped through the air, creating a portal. I jumped through it without so much as looking back, and thus entered this strange new world, in this dimension, it was called… earth…

Powers

Demon Blood

Possibly the greatest of his powers, Melik Cloud’s purplish-black blood IS the demon itself and gives him a number of different abilities

Regeneration and immunity to most sicknesses- His blood naturally regenerates his wounds very quick and grants him immense stamina.

Blood Manipulation (Hemokinesis)- He is able to extract his blood from his body and form it into anything his mind can conjure, he can only do this if he has the amount of blood required. Also he can’t extract too much or he will pass out. His primary weapon formed from this technique is the demon sword known as carnage, or the Satsuriku chi no jutsu.

Toxic- If anyone directly ingests or injects his blood into their system, then they are pretty much goners. His blood is right next to pestilence status to anyone but him.

Soul Charge

Demonic The demon that was incarnated into the boy’s body was one that specialized in powers concerning the souls. Because of this, he has the ability to create pure soul energy from within him by clashing two souls together. This creates an opposing effect whish discharges the energy based on the fact that the demon’s soul gives him leverage to control it.

Soul Charge Attacks- His primary Soul attack. His souls clash within him (or resonate) to create a charge of energy which he can dispel at the ground to create shockwaves or at objects at point blank range. The power attack is destructive and depending on how long it is charged can go through thick walls and weak metal. However, its true power lies in its ability to strike the soul of his opponent directly resulting in physical damage. This means that even if he is fighting one who is not harmed by physical attacks, it strike the soul and thus creates a physically damaging reaction regardless. It also causes the body in full to ache. This part of the attack is pointless to those have no soul or simply absorb soul energy, however the physical proponents and destruction of the attack would still take effect.

Soul Imitation- When Melik hit’s someone with a soul charge; (given that his opponent has a soul) he temporarily (for a minute or two) can gain that person’s abilities, as long as it isn’t holy energy or tech based. This means if he hits a person that’s super strong then he is also that strong for a short while, if he touches a person who is invulnerability or has fire abilities, he also gains invulnerability or fire powers.

Soul Insight- Cloud can see souls inside of people and get a basic idea about the type of person they are. If they so allow it, then he can also see images of their past, hidden souls and the like by touching them in the abdomen

Soul Skates- Melik can create skates on his feet, a technique he invented himself, out of pure soul energy, to travel at exceptional speeds.

Soul bond break- with enough time and all the subjects involved, Cloud can successfully break soul bounds without killing those within it.

Soul Soothe- by contact, Melik can soothe pain and tension in the human body, however he can't do the actual biological healing.

Dimensional Portal

An ultimate escape power, which drains him of all energy, Melik can use Carnage to cut a hole between time and dimensions. The major minus to this is that he doesn’t know how to do it, and when he does do it, he has no idea where he’s going. This is a life or death trump card.

Natural Demonic Enhancements

Speed- He’s naturally faster than most the average human he thrives on this

Reflexes- has super human reflexes, and even in close range is surprisingly hard to hit

Senses-Natural Senses are slightly increase

Adaptability- He is a very fast learner
