A day later and I've got the revamped profile of this guy up and running. Time to blow shit up! ...or not, although it'd be fun.
Name: Suzume
Side: Light
Race: Human (?)
Age: 22
Appearance: A normal Japanese man, albeit a bit scrawny at 5'10" with a very light build. Black hair, cut to shoulder length. His eyes are black, but flare up to a bright blue during fights. Wears hakama cut off at the knees along with a simple shirt and more of an overshirt than a kimono, giving him more of a relaxed, and very undignified, look.
Weapons: Keeps a katana on his back and a knife on his belt.
Special Skill: Soul Detection/Absorption: Suzume can see the souls of deceased demons for whatever reason. He's never questioned it, he just can. And just as well, he acts like a hub for them and they tend to follow him for, again, whatever reason. This doesn't really take any skill for him, but Suzume tends to like the pretty colors when he's bored.
Soul Manipulation: Taking the inherent energies in the demon souls and bending them to his will, Suzume can do a wide range of miraculous things! ...in his imagination, of course. So far his most delicate manipulation is making a powerful (and temporary) shield out of the demon's soul about the size of his body, while his favorite one is sending the energy straight forward in a destructive blast. Each manipulation uses up one (or more, if he feels like it) soul.
History: Suzume was found by a couple of farmers when he was very young, wandering around as an orphan. Thankfully being considerate, they took the young boy with them to their home and raised him. The young boy then became a trouble-maker without comparison. He would raise hell in the village, starting fights just by being around. This never troubled his adoptive parents since they knew he was extremely energetic, which probably didn't mesh well with the laid back villagers and kids.
Of course, unlike the thoughts of his parents, little Suzume just liked fighting. And he always wanted something tougher than just your average little kid or intervening parent. So when he was 16 Suzume gave up the farming life and started going from place to place, causing a ruckus whenever he managed to get into some seedy part of town. This violent vagrant lifestyle suited him, but he wanted more. When someone told him he was tough enough to become a demon hunter, he shrugged and asked them point him in the right direction. That person probably wasn't being serious, but what could be tougher than a demon?
It wasn't long before Suzume had managed to kill a small demon or two, but he was wondering just what the little flames following him meant. No one else seemed to notice them and they kept him up at night, which was beginning to annoy him. When he finally tried swatting one away, he blew a hole in the wall of the inn he was staying in. Slackjawed, he immediately ran away and started to perfect his new art of making things explode.
Now, just a few years after becoming a demon hunter and discovering his abilities Suzume has SOME control over his powers, but is still prone to blowing his surroundings to smithereens. The collateral damage HAS been slightly reduced over the years, although his destructive tendencies don't help much in that regard.
Maybe he could gain a little more control if he ran into some sort of hero with a magic sword or something? ...nah, probably not gonna happen.
Extra: I'll set Suzume's starting soul number at 12, unless Raiden's feeling picky.
