Well I have a conversion of an older character of mine from a different tabletop engine that I've grown attached to (i.e. I've spent too much time refining it to make it playable in a campaign only for it to end prematurely) and I figured that I'll just throw my hat into the ring. Quote: Kei Aiko/Yarouko Hadis ArammudamuKei Aiko/Yarouko is a member of the Yamato Branch of the ancient human tribe of the Marados-Uvari of Anu’Dimitu’Alu (Sky Pillar), whom utilize their vast abilities and knowledge in the paranormal, supernatural, and metaphysical in exchange for their innate immortality to defend the mortal races from otherworldly powers that seek to enslave all or worse. Kei is also noteworthy of being a half-breed; with the father Daichi Hisokajin/Gal’Mudutu Suqamumu’Immaru as one of the well skilled Redum’nasaru (Sentinel) who take out threats before they become too large or powerful, and mother Lillith who is a Druj. It is unknown why Lillith would consort with a human, much less of the Marados-Uvari Tribe and even less so to allow a conception and birth of the offspring, but left the child in the care of the father. As per the custom of the tribe, Kei cannot take the Hisokajin/Suqamumu’Immaru surname since the conception and birth were illegitimate and thus must take the name of a bastard. The Council, a grouping of the various Chieftains and Shamans of the Marados-Uvari Tribe, has seen fit to grant Kei the position of the Chosen or Nin'retsusu: The most powerful and well-trained of Marados-Uvari warriors who are second only to the Shamans in terms of mystical power. As a Nin'retsusu, Kei was rigorously and more often ruthlessly trained in the mystical and martial arts to ensure that the child is worthy of the honorable position of one of the Nin'retsusu, though even before such training Daichi had personally trained Kei as a Redum’nasaru before being taken away to first acquire the skills and knowledge of a Nasaru’Rabu (Guardian). Daichi openly objects to this since the Nin'retsusu are expected, brainwashed even, to die in the line of duty for all of humanity and that to cast Kei as a Nin'retsusu is just a way to remove a half-breed from their ranks. His superiors and even the Council itself have stated that Kei's rapid training and growth is proof that the child must be a Nin'retsusu and that it was so fast that he would be given the Sacred Icon and become one of the Nin'retsusu long before the age of Maturity to which the child would be given tattoos all over their body as magical seals against evil. As per tradition, and to ensure that there would be no factor that would belay their hand in their sacred duty, the Chosen are rendered sterile. They have also pointed out to Daichi’s Enu’Kishpu (Alchemist) half-brother Eiji/ Damiqu’Guz who is in dire threat of turning to darkness from the many years of studying the dark arts in order to defeat them. Not even the sacred blood of their father, Haruto/Utu'Essuru the Younger who is a direct decedent of the one man who have seen the Great Old Ones such as Cthullhu and lived with his sanity intact, would be strong enough to ensure that neither he nor Kei would fall to darkness. The Sacred Icon allows one of the Nin'retsusu to summon a Spirit Familiar to become the Nin'retsusu 's full body armor and weapons that would increase their physical and supernatural abilities exponentially. However, when the Spirit Familiar is summoned via the Sacred Icon, the Nin'retsusu are forbidden by tradition and sacred law from using modern firearms. Instead they must rely upon their martial skills and knowledge of the arcane to overcome threats, though there are a few Nin'retsusu who utilize the Techno-Wizardry weaponry of the Enu’Kishpu. For Kei's first mission, the Shamans gave cause for alarm towards [Insert High School Name Here] to which the threads of fate warn of a grave event to take place. Thus Kei is "enrolled" to the school to ensure that what may come to pass will not since he is the only Nin'retsusu who is young enough to enter the establishment undetected and the Yamato Tribe have no resources to slip in one of their own as a teacher. However, such a mission would more than likely mean Kei’s demise since it also equates to entering unknown territory despite years of training. It is also due to this training that Kei is unfamiliar with the ways of modern life beyond the confines of the tribe, instinctively falling back to the traditions of the tribe and a warrior in training when faced with a strange social problem. Still, this does not mean that Kei is completely immune to the complexities of modern life in that the sweets and confections that are created are terribly distracting for one with such a strong sweet tooth.

* Indicates that Character Ability/ies are of higher value than human norm, thus applicable for Scaled Advantage Quote: Ifrune of the Storms/ Ifrune'lilThe being who is self-proclaimed as Ifrune of the Storms, or Ifrune'lil is one of a hundred and eight Forgotten Deities who are a classification of beings whom predate humanity, yet came after the Great Old Ones and are often mislabeled by the ill-informed as the Antediluvians. Like they, Ifrune'lil was defeated by the strongest Guardians and Shamans of the Marados-Uvari Tribe and decreed by the Pure Allfather that he and his kind would be imprisoned within a hundred and eight “Sacred Icons” to forever serve the Marados-Uvari Tribe in their eternal quest to defend Humanity from Angre Manju, Azathoth and Yugo-Soth, their minions, and other such entities and beings who hold ill-will to all of Humanity and bring all of creation to ruin, to guide and mentor the Chosen, or Nin'retsusu of the Marados-Uvari with their eternal wisdom, to protect them until at long last they are freed from their labor through self-sacrifice to which they are passed onto the next generation of Nin'retsusu. Thus Ifrune'lil can only interact with Kei Aiko as a projection of a horned, lighting-blue fur Manticore yet even that was not his true form. Rather it was symbolic of his true nature in a form that could only be understood by the limited minds of a human, even if one who is advantaged with Druj blood as Kei Aiko. As a manticore projection, Ifrune'lil has limited interaction with the corporeal world which is made even less so due to the anatomy of the beast in question. However, he has unlimited access to his arcane and demonic knowledge as how the Sacred Icons were engineered: he would be severely limited in ability but vast in knowledge as part of his penance against the Pure Allfather. Not only was his knowledge of the paranormal, supernatural, and metaphysical realms well prized by the Nin'retsusu, but also poisons and toxins that are virtually unknown in the annals of science of all mortals. The projection was also useful to the Nin'retsusu as scouts and early warning beacons when he was summoned, which gave them an edge against their foes and have them live just that much longer. Since his “unjust” imprisonment, he has felt contempt with nearly every Chosen of the Marados-Uvari he was assigned until he felt the Druj blood within Kei Aiko. He encouraged the child to embrace the savagery of his Druj heritage under the hope that it would be enough to free him and at long last escape this mortal realm to world beyond. He would be equally pleased to leave the Earth and be as far away from mortal females as possible who, for the strangest of reasons, consider him cute.

Quote: Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil“Enlightened elders of Marados-Uvari, blessed ancestors of bequeathed bloodline whom eternally guard Anu’Dimitu’Alu, heed my vow. By the power that be the Pure Allfather and blood inherited unto which I sacrifice selflessly, I loosen the chains of thy Sacred Idol and unleash power deep within and bring about victory against my unholy foe.
“Ifrune’lil! Hark unto my command! I beseech thee for thine aid in the coming battle before me! Against thy forsaken daemon kin whom desires calamity upon the noble ignorant, unto which I am sworn to protect and honor bound to defend with my life! I call upon thine ancient powers, thine legendary strength, thine fortitude to armor me and embody me a form unto which to smite away the hubris of those whom stand against the light! I invoke the rite of the Nin’retsusu and become judge upon those whom art naked before such deathly wrath!
“I invoke the sacred call of the savior that be the Nin’retsusu Ifrune’lil!”When those words are uttered, and a blood sacrifice by Kei Aiko is performed, Ifrune is summoned through fire (i.e. explosions) and lighting to merge with the Chosen to become the armored warrior of the Marados-Uvari Tribe: The Chosen of Ifrune, or Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil. The armor covers the Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil from head to toe accented with a cloak that are shaped like the wings of a phoenix in flight, with an outer layer of armor that loosely resembles a trench coat that is left open that would give the Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil the aura of a Teutonic Knight of medieval Europe if not for the fact that the druj blood within Kei have made the once noble and sacred armor into something demonic and foreboding. The helm of the armor, which many would compare to a motorcycle helmet due to the transparent metal visor that cover’s Kei’s face, features the symbolic representation of a horned manticore with jaws open wide to reveal many rows of teeth not unlike a shark. As the Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil, Kei holds arcane mastery over the elemental magic of lighting to which is invoked with the incantation “Brilliant lance, embodiment of Ifrune’lil, strike down the villainy whom lie beyond my reach!” that sends a bold of lighting to his enemies. However, since Kei is still not only a child compared to other Chosen but also not so learned of elemental lighting magic, the Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil has limited access to such offensive and defensive spells compared to the previous holders of the title. It would be many years before Kei would be able to harness the full power of the Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil, if destiny would allow such a long life to occur. Instead, the familiar armor enhances many of Kei’s own physical prowesses in addition to abilities that would better allow the Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil to battle the inhuman enemies of humanity and other mortal races such as the wing-like cloak that allows Kei to fly. The Nin’retsusu Ifrune’lil is also armed with two bladed weapons: The ornate warsythe “Fury of Ifrune’lil” whose blade is shaped like the stinger bulb of a scorpion, and a pair of knives known as the “Talons of Ifrune’lil” that are held in the reverse grip and better suited to defense than attack. However, as a lighting elemental castor, the Nin'retsusu Ifrune'lil is weak against Lighting’s opposite: Earth elemental magic.

* Indicates that Character Ability/ies are of higher value than human norm, thus applicable for Scaled Advantage Quote: Adolescent DrujWhen Kei Aiko is emotionally stressed enough, usually via anger but can also be triggered by distress or great sadness, the child would involuntarily change into a more Druj-like adolescent form that is virtually dominated by demonic instincts in a kind of berserk rage with a physical caricature that is equally just as demonic. This lack of control over this form is mostly due to how it was repressed by the Marados-Uvari Tribe, shunned and discriminated due to its demonic nature and is in truth a manifestation of Kei Aiko’s anger at the tribes treatment from as far as memory served and at Kei’s own mixed heritage of two opposing worlds which is also held with great sadness. As a Druj, Kei Aiko is able to fly to bear terrible talons and toxic fangs at foes without remorse, even access to “Dark Magic”. Though as an adolescent, these are quite limiting which is also compounded by the more primitive, instinctual cognitive skills Kei has at disposal for better or worse. However, as an Adolescent Druj, Kei is more vulnerable to Divine Magic and Holy Objects and is greatly weakened when bathed in the sunlight of the Equinoxes and Solstices: holy and divine periods of transitions said to be the law of the Pure Allfather itself.

* Indicates that Character Ability/ies are of higher value than human norm, thus applicable for Scaled Advantage In case it wasn't too obvious, this character of mine is effectively a Tokusatsu-esque character. In particular similar, but not too parallel, to the Garo franchise (or of what little I've experienced tbh). Pretty sure that even my current restructuring of my character's abilities and weaknesses don't exactly come out at balance, but at least it's something to jump from to make it more so.
