Clear

"The shining heart that only begets darkness."

- Zeon Clear (クリル, Kuriru) is a travelling Exorcist Mage, and as such, is a user of Shadow Devil Slayer Magic. Frail and sickly as a child, Clear's parents feared that he would never make it to his first birthday. However, a passing Mage took pity on the boy, and managed to cure him of his illness, also leaving behind a tome of the Book of Zeref in case the boy wanted to 'become strong'.

Several years later, after his parents succumbed to the same sickness that threatened him, Clear discovered the book, and another year later, left the house and began to travel the world in order to wipe out any demons and Dark Mages that he came across.

Appearance
Clear is a decently tall and somewhat thin young man with pale Caucasian skin. He has light green hair that he has let grown out, which he has shaped into a somewhat vague ponytail shape in the back, and a wild mess in the front. He often keeps the top covered with a white hat with a gray-colored brim and back. His standard attire consists of a gray, skin-tight shirt, covered with a very loose white button-up shirt on top of it. He also wears tannish-gray pants and green-colored shoes.

Oddly, Clear also wears a series of knickknacks around on his body. He wears a wristband on one wrist, a series of square-shaped pendants on the other, as well as what appears to be a fully-solved Rubik's cube hanging out of one pocket. He also has a planet-shaped necklace that he keeps with him at all times.

Personality
Clear is generally a very chivalrous and kind person, usually attempting to stick up for what's right and support the smaller guy. Clear is also very quiet, preferring to express passive anger or happiness, unlike the usual over-the-top manner of some shonen characters. He usually shows anger by allowing his hat to hang over his eyes, or happiness by a very slight smile. In any case, it is rare to get a large reaction out of him, and it is considered quite an event when it does happen.

Unlike some people, Clear usually doesn't assume people are either good or evil at first glance, preferring to stay neutral. However, Clear does lean towards usually assuming the worst, leading some to view him as a bit of a pessimist. However, there are a few exceptions, usually involving people that he has met before and have proven themselves trustworthy.

Clear seems to care for animals, and usually judges people based on how they treat animals (or those beneath their station). Because of this, he is usually followed by, or accompanied by, several animals. While Clear doesn't seem to entirely mind their presence, he will make a point to warn them away if he ends up in a situation he deems dangerous, or in a place where he believes they will be in danger.

Clear has a deep hate for the Black Arts and those who practice them, and if he sees one use them they will immediately be considered enemies in his eyes, and he will usually not change his opinion about them. However, if Clear is assisted by them or helped in some way, he will give credit where credit is due.

Magic
Shadow Devil Slayer Magic (影の滅悪魔法, Kage no Metsuaku Mahō)- A Lost Magic that gives Clear command over shadows, allowing him to generate and manipulate them to attack. He can also devour shadow to replenish his energy and increase his strength. Clear has also become invulnerable to any and all magical attacks involving shadow. The magic also seems to give Clear a certain 'aura', if you will, with all light near him dimming slightly, and he can apparently blend into the shadows much easier than a normal person can, thus giving Clear an advantage in stealth.
 * Shadow Devil's Rage (悪魔の怒りをシャドウ, Kagema no Gekikō)- The standard 'Roar' attack of a Devil Slayer. Clear takes a long, deep breath, then expels a massive amount of shadow out of his mouth in the loose shape of a tornado. This attack is notable for its incredible pushing power, able to knock some opponents across an entire town in some instances, and its incredible destructive power as well, being able to reduce buildings and the nearby area to rubble. The movement of this technique can be controlled by Clear simply moving his neck.

Trivia

 * Clear's birthday is also the birthday of H.P. Lovecraft.
 * Clear is based off the character of N from the Pokémon franchise.
