Soldiers of Light, sign-up (Here we go again.)

[Arhra]

I tried to resist, but it is futile. Light falls into shadows and is swallowed by darkness unending. There is no escape. The power of evil compels me.

Besides, the count is currently 10/7 in the favour of good. This might be a bit on the powerful side so tell me if its too much. It incidently means that he can be a member of TEWHC if he feels like it.

Name: Kirakiri

Side: Evil

Race: Demon

Age: 476

Appearance: Kirakiri is a little above average height with a mostly human appearance. His forehead is marked by a vertical third eye, slittled and golden like his other two and he has long white hair (bwahahaha) through which a rather impressive set of six silvery, long, thin horns protrudes. His skin is a silvery-blue and he usually appears to be wearing partial shining and reflective samurai armour although the point where it ends and he begins is very vaguely defined. Kirakiri is capable of assuming any number of variants on this form as strikes his fancy.

Weapons: Kirakiri generally wields whatever weapon is appropriate although he prefers swords and has been known to wield several simultaneously. Although not as focused in a particular weapon as many of the others, his ability to use very unorthodox techniques can help even the battle.

Special Skills: First of Kirakiri's talents is his ability to change forms. This gives him considerable resilience and given time he can fashion a likeness very similiar to anyone he has seen. This is imperfect however - he can only copy what he has observed so this can mean flaws in his disguise. Additionally if he is wounded (and does not expect it, if the wound isn't a very serious one) it reveals that beneath the surface he is something far removed from what he is imitating (the black ichorous blood for a start). He can alter his size to a moderate degree - growing larger and also able to assume a form as small as a cat. His shapeshifting also allows him to adapt his body for virtually any purpose although there are limitations to this (for example, he has difficulty controlling more than a few limbs at once) and especially unusual forms are difficult to maintain. He generally finds it easiest to make changes to his current form as needed.

Secondly Kirakiri can split himself into two temporarily. This can be a very surprising technique to be faced with although it is possible to recognise if there is a duplicate or not - Kirakiri can't mimic other forms while divided and the two halves must maintain similiar forms but vary in colouration and appearance slightly. Finally the duplicates are weaker than Kirakiri's normal form and must remain relatively close to one another.

History: Kirakiri is a thankfully rare variety of shapechanging demon. He is cruel, capricious and fickle but paradoxically keeps to his own unfathomable moral code. Some think that all shapeshifters are inherently contrary. Occasionally he goes off and spends some time in a specific form although he keeps silent if he considers it entertainment or training (best guess is both). He is a consumate deciever from his practice at passing himself off as something else but it is possible to draw him out by angering him.

Extras: Despite his potent shapechanging abilities, Kirakiri has his share of weaknesses. Intense pain can cause him to lose control of his body, usually making him degenerate into a flailing mass of limbs. Certain spells, procedures and substances can trap him in a form, force him to revert to his true form (a form he almost never uses), control his shifting to a degree and there is said to be one that throws his abilities into uncontrollable overdrive - turning him into a horrible thrashing monster before eventually burning him out and killing him. (Basically I'm leaving some of this for later - mirror magic is a possibility though)
