Ikaku

[kirerellim]

---------- Seal/Demon ----------

Character Name: Kash Oyami

Seal/Demon Name: Ikaku (The Scourge of Hell)

Location: The seal resides on his back, in the center of the tattoo like demon. It is very small, and mostly unnoticeable. This is because the seal doesn't need much strength, for the demon must be attached to a human host in order to survive.

Appearance: The seal cannot be seen against the black tattoo of the demon. The demon released looks like a thin humanoid, with no facial features. Black, smooth all over, no hair. Slight indentation for eyes.

Stages:

Stage 0: The demon isn’t really doing anything yet, but the Jinchuuriki can access his considerable chakra. Also, the Jinchuuriki’s healing is much greater than usual. The users chakra is instantly converted to shadow, though any children of the Jinchuuriki will also be able to use shadow with a bit more difficulty.

Stage 1: As the demon awakens, the Jinchuuriki is given more speed and strength, as the demons ‘body’ supplements his or her own. At the same time, that awakening slows the Jinchuuriki down, because the demon starts to try and take control of the body himself.

Stage 2: The demon’s form spreads over the entire body, causing the speed and strength to increase exponentially as the entire body is now supported by Ikaku. As this layer of darkness is quite thick, it provides a useful armor. The blackness can be shaped into other forms and will often sprout blades from the arms and back. The demon becomes more insistent in controlling the body.

Stage 3: The demon fully leaves the body, making the user become normal speed and strength, basically taking away all previous benefits. The demon however, for the time off the body, becomes full strength, even stronger than in stage two, as the ‘human’ restrictions are removed. In this form, he can manipulate shadows, making them become wider and longer as he wishes. The mental strength of the demon increases as well, making it even harder to stop.

Description:

Stage 0: The demon is inactive, and is a simple black tattoo spread over his back. It resembles a triangle with a point at the base of the spine that widens as it goes up the back. It also has tendrils that flow off, following the ribs.

Stage 1: The tendrils on the ribs rise off the skin and try to start moving around in the air, while still connected to the main triangle on the back.

Stage 2: The tentacles reattach, and the blackness spreads over the entire body, thickening as it does so. This makes the user look like a thicker Ikaku.

Stage 3: The demon completely separates from body, forming a human shaped ink blob, the fully released form.

History: This is a demon, from the bright depths of Hell. He was placed on earth and sealed within a young tree so that he could not do what he believed his destiny was. The only purpose of this things life was to wake the sleeping gods and have them unmake the world back to the 'pure nothingness' is what it claimed. This was the only creature able to do so and even the demons didn't want this to become reality. From the day the Ikaku was imprisoned, the tree became old and withered. Anyone that came near it would have their thoughts twisted by the evil aura from it. He would do anything to trick them to releasing him. Luckily, a group of people knew of this evil. They stood guard around the tree, to stop any poor fool from releasing him. But, after many generations one of the order was corrupted himself. He released Ikaku in exchange for power. Unfortunately for the Scourge, this man was killed by the order before Ikaku could bond with him. He almost killed them all, but one was able to seal him to his back before he could escape. As Ikaku couldn’t survive without a host of some kind, he couldn’t break free of the fairly simple seal. That was Rynok Ukiuki. He had been the most lighthearted and playful of the order. But being the only survivor saddened him. It took away much of his vast strength, and he was unable to reseal the demon within the tree. So, he spent the rest of his life, fighting the demon. Then the demon stopped struggling. From then on, the demon was passed down from family member to family member, until the day that one of them managed to reseal the demon within the tree, or destroy him completely.
