Rogue Cheney (Copycat)

Rogue Cheney (ローグ・チェーニ, Rōgu Chēni), whose real name is Ryos (ライオス, Raiosu), is a S-class Mage of Sabertooth, formerly the strongest guild in Fiore Kingdom, and member of its team, Twin Dragons of Sabertooth (剣咬の虎の双竜 Seibā Tūsu no Sōryū).

After Grand Magic Games and Eclipse Project were occured, Rogue, feeling guilty for what his future self had done and what he had done to Gajeel Redfox at their last battle, decided to go away from his guild for some time, in attempt to master all of his cabapilities as a Mage and Dragon Slayer. What was most important for him, is that he decided to deal with all of his inner sides and psychological problems, as Rogue named it, when he explained his reason to Sting. In time of his trainings, he met Kagura Mikazuchi, a Mermaid Heel Mage, and a non-prizoned Cobra. After brief conservation, Cobra eventually became Rogue's temropary combat partner, while Kagura became his mentor in sword trainings. After three-four months of his hard trainings, with new-found strength, Rogue returned to his guild. Soon, after Magic Council ordered Sting to conduct and pass a special test for his entire guild, the top of Sabertooth i.e. Rogue, Yukino, Rufus and Orga became its S-class Mages, while Sting was fully recognized as worthy of being a Guild Master. With that, Rogue also became a vice-master of Sabertooth. With such responsibility, now Rogue helps his partner to hold a guild in good hands in attempt to never become like a guild, they used to be.

As well-famous Mage, Rogue is known as the Shadow Dragon (影竜, Eiryū), as he earned such title for having great mastery over his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic, just like Sting earned his alias with his magic too.

Appearance
Rogue is a slim young man of average height. He has rather messy black hair, which almost reaches down to his shoulders, along with some strands pointing upwards on top of his head and a prominent tuft obscuring most of his forehead. Later, Rogue begin to brush his hair to the right side of his face, covering up his right eye. Strangely, but this hair-style doesn't disturb Rogue, when he's fighting. As few Dragon Slayers have such feat, Rogue has slit eyes' pupils, similar to that of a snake's. Another personas, who had similar eye pupil is Gajeel Redfox, another Dragon Slayer and very close person to Rogue. The colour of Rogue's eyes is red. After his battles at Grand Magic Games' final day and battle against the Dragons, Rogue gained a thin scar across the bridge of his nose. Also, after some timme, Rogue put his hair up in a ponytail. The most interesting part of such changes is that, with that scar and ponytail hair-style, Rogue further becomes to look like his evil future self, with the exception of non-missing right eye. Also, like all Dragon Slayers, Rogue possess prominent canine teeth. As a strong mage, Rogue has well-trained body with no scars on it. On left shoulder, Rogue possess a white Sabertooth mark.

When Rogue arrived on Grand Magic Games and firstly showing himself to Fairy Tail, he wore a long, black cape reaching down to his feet, which had golden edges, a much lighter collar circling his neck, and a prominent, white ribbon hanging down on his chest. On its left side, where Rogue has his guild mark on body, the cape beared a light Sabertooth's symbol too. Below it, Rogue wore a plain gray shirt with prominent brown cuffs. From a light sash circling his waist hangs a distinctive, pale blue cloth waistguard, consisting of four long pieces of cloth reaching down below his knees. Each of these pieces is adorned by a large, dark cross with fan-shaped arms. Below such waistguard, Rogue wore black-coloured pants and pair of brown shoes. Also, on his arms and legs, Rogue was seen to have some armour. Each of his biceps was encircled by something like a large metal band. His legs was armored in metal plates, while on the front, these armour plates beared the very same motif which appears on the waistguard. Finally, Rogue had a katana on his waist from the left side.

After Rogue became a S-class Mage, his attire changes drastically. Now he wears a dark-coloured jumper with rolled up sleeves and some rhombus pattern. Under it, he wears black-coloured long-sleeved jersey. On a lower part of his body, he wears black-coloured hakama with red or dark-red sash. Under hakama, it seems, that Rogue's legs are wrapped in bandages and he wears black-coloured boots. Also, Rogue wears a white bandage on his head and white or red long scarf. His katana is carried too.

Beside his new look, Rogue also begin to wear some casual clothes. When he isn't on his missions, he wears blue-coloured plaid shirt and red-coloured vest on it, black jeans and some dark-gray sneakers with some red stripes on it. Also, he wears black-coloured wristband with some light-coloured line on it, on his left hand.

Personality
When he firstly appeared, Rogue was seen as the quieter of the Twin Dragon Slayers. He mostly kept a calm face and rarely showed any emotions. Eventually, it seems, that Rogue is an opposite of Sting not only in Magic, but also in personality terms.

When Sabertooth was lead by Jiemma, as one of their five strongest Mages, Rogue wasn't show their usual behavior, as he attend to terms "friend" much higher, that think, that weaklings can not be in the strongest guild. From those times and now, he holds a strong belief on camaraderie, even stating, that friendship is the main reason, whu Sabertooth lost to the Fairy Tail in almost all aspects. After Yukino lost her match against Kagura and was subsequently humiliated and excommunicated by their Guild Master, he told Sting that despite her failure, she was still their comrade. Sting, whereas, merely brushes off Rogue's comment, suggesting that it's the way their Guild works and gave the matter little thought. Rogue does, however, have a softer, caring side for Yukino in that part. Above that, Rogue was indeed the one, who had a soft side in Sabertooth Guild. When his Exceed partner, Frosch, started to fret over being excommunicated because of its lack of strength, Rogue smiles and denounces Frosch's fears as just that, promising that it would be okay as long it was with him. Moreover, he also appears to be unusually kind towards his guild and is very protective of Frosch. He and many of his guildmates were horrified at the "death" of Lector, showing that he cares for his fellow guildmates and was protecting Frosch from Jiemma's anger. Additionally, like most other Dragon Slayers, Rogue suffers from motion sickness.

Rogue also seems to lack the sadistic tendencies shared among several of his guildmates. When Lucy was being tortured by Minerva, Rogue did not join in with his teammates' laughter. Rather, Rogue was looking away from the torture with a displeased expression, and he did not jump to Minerva's aid afterwards, unlike his team.

While Rogue has such good and kind personality, his Dark Side is very opposite to it. The Dark Rogue, how it was called by Sting, is indeed sadistic, bloodthirsty and show no mercy to the weaklings, as it was shown, that when possessed Rogue was overwhelmed Gajeel, he merely wanted to kill Rogue's sworn brother. Moreover, when Rogue's and Gajeel's first round was over, the "Shadow" said, that Rogue must kill his enemy i.e. Gajeel, and that it can give him the strength to do such thing. When Rogue was fighting and later, accepting his Dark Side, the Dark Rogue seems to became very proudly of its host and was very amazed, when Rogue stated, that he won't block his Dark Side ever. In addition to it, when Rogue ended his trainings, Dark Side begin to like his way of behavior, suddenly accepting Rogue's kindness to all beings. Shortly after it, Rogue's Dark Side even begin to help him and give some advises to aid him passively in more strategic and tactic way, serving not only as Rogue's Dark Mode empowerment. Interestingly, that the Dark Rogue mostly liked the Rogue's idea of calling his Dark Mode state as Night Mode, commenting on, that the night itself is more beautiful and not so frighten, than the darkness.

History
Rogue was raised by a Dragon known as Skiadrum, who taught him Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic. When Skiadrum became ill, Rogue used the Magic he was once taught to assist the Dragon in death. At some point in his life, Rogue also implanted Dragon Lacrima into his body, thereby making him a Third Generation Dragon Slayer. Seven years ago, Rogue was a fan and the sworn younger brother of Gajeel Redfox, and desired to join the Phantom Lord Guild, which Gajeel used to be a part of. Also during this time, Rogue changed his name from Ryos as he disliked its meaning.

Fanon History
Initially, Rogue's adventure begins, when his Dark Side again showed up itself. While Sting and Rogue was carrying on some business with Sabertooth's job requests, on the eyes of all their guildmates, Rogue attacks his partner. As Frosch states, that such incident was occured on Grand Magic Games, when Sabertooth guild was in mess, Sting remembers, how Gajeel and Rogue were fighting and now, he is in the same condition, as Iron Dragon Slayer. After that, Rogue's Dark Side takes even more powerful control over Rogue's body, and Sting re-enter his fight to save his friend. While their battle was like a swing, possessed Rogue eventually took the upper hand. When other top members of Sabertooth run to Eucliffe's aid, possessed Rogue quicky attacked non-prepared Yukino, saying that there are no place for weaklings in the world of strongest. After Sting heard those words, enraged, he shields the Celestial Spirit Mage, after what, he managed to devour Rogue's magic, gaining Dual-Element Dragon Mode. With that power, he quickly defeats possessed friend, freeing him from the control of his Dark Side.

After harsh battle, Rogue decides to go away from the guild in order to not make terrible mistakes. Sting, claiming, that there is no reason for blaming Rogue in the accident, which was occured by Dark Rogue, as he reffered to his friend's Dark Side. From that, Eucliffe, as the master and friend, doesn't want to erase the guild mark from Rogue. Thinking about сompromise, the White Dragon Slayer says, that Rogue can go on his departure for a S-class Job, while he will train himself, as Rogue wants to make such thing on a real occasion. In the end, the Shadow Dragon accepts the deal, and taking the request from the Request Board, he began his trainings.

While he was training, Rogue suddenly met two famous Mages - Kagura Mikazuchi, who took the same S-class Job request and Cobra, the Poison Dragon Slayer, who was set free on the official order. After they had a conservation, Rogue created a temporary trio with them, in order to make their goals become fulfilled much faster and in order to make themselves far stronger. After trio made the S-class Job, on the one of such training days, Rogue's Dark Side appears again. While the possession of Rogue was the quickest, as stated by Dark Rogue, it was caught in a trap, which was made by the Rogue himself. As Cobra and Kagura already knew, which problem The Shadow Dragon has, they created a plan to resist to the Dark Rogue. As they begin a three-way fight, it is ended in beating of the Dark Side. While possessed Rogue was attacked by Cobra, who so far bloked all of his attacks, Rogue begin his inner fight within the mind and the Dark Rogue. Such great battle ends in Dark Side's defeat, while Cobra attained his Dual Element Dragon Mode in the same way, as Sting did. Soon enough, Kagura healed all Rogue's wounds, and he connected, now on his own, to his dark powers again. While having a little conservation, Rogue himself begins a battle in his inner world with the Dark Rogue, and thus far, he takes the victory for the first time. Saying, that Dark Side doesn't understand his way of thoughts, Rogue understands, what his Dark Side wants on real. After that, he attained his new power, and as stated by Dark Side, Rogue is the first Shadow Dragon Slayer, who accept its power on his own for the last decade, even if not two.

After Rogue's training is over, his goals, alongside the goals of Kagura and Cobra, are reached, so they go on separate ways. When the Shadow Dragon enters his guild again, he is happily welcomed back, as Sting says, that he believed in Rogue's strength. After that, Sting tells about their past incident in which, after Rogoue went berserk, Magic Council now wants to make a special test for the entire Sabertooth guild, as they aren't sure, that such guild can exist. Rogue, on the other hand, accepts the test, saying, that he won't make the mistakes again. In the end, the guild passed the test, while Rogue's was the first from the top of Sabertooth, who earned the S-class Mage title, as he did his S-class Job request well. With all five strongest Sabertooth Mages become S-class Mages, and Sting was freely accepted as the master, Rogue's becomes a Vice-master, which now would help Sting to hold on the guild in their fullest and legal side. Rogue makes a promise, that he will help to make their guild stay strong, and will make sure, that the guild won't return to their old attitude.

From that time, Rogue's life changes drastically. Now, he and Sting helps each other to stay strong as they are training almost everyday. Suddenly for everyone, Rogue became close in relationship with Kagura. Eventually, he became her boyfriend as she happily accept his proposition of such.

Synopsis

Ways of Combat
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: While Rogue is always seen with a sword by his side, his melee moves shown so far are unarmed ones, which include punches, kicks and elbows. Oftnely, he employs his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic to boost his offensive power as well as to outmaneuver opponents, landing enhanced blows from different angolations through the use of the evasive form granted him by Shadow Drive. The latter combination allowed him to fight and even overwhelm Gajeel Redfox, a well-famous Iron Dragon Slayer with great mastery over Hand-to-Hand Combat, for a while, despite ultimately being struck by the opposing Dragon Slayer. After Rogue left his guild for a while and was training, his mastery in this type of combat greatly increased, as he was able to fight on par with Cobra, another famous Dragon Slayer with poisons and hearing magic as his main weapons. So now, even not using his shadows, Rogue is capable of fighting many of his opponents unarmed only and without taking damage as well.

Expert Weapon Specialist: As Rogue had some knowledge of battle with weapons, he drastically increased his fighting capabilities in this category with his trainings. As he was using his katana in battles rarely, he began to use some different weapons alongside his blade. As Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic can conjure some not only visible, but touchable and dealing damage weapons, Rogue usually uses his shadows in order to create some specific weapon to his aid. So far, he chose a blade and scythe for his signature weapons.
 * Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Carrying a katana blade by his side, after his trainings, Rogue became a master in swordsmanship. With his blade, Rogue is capable of making many fluent attacks, which would discard his opponent; protecting somebody or himself from sudden attack of projectiles; cutting through most materials, even steel. As Rogue stated himself, he feels, what he must do with his blade, and he is the one, who can lead his blade in the properly using. From such feat, Rogue was even called a Sword Warrior by Cobra, due to Rogue's behavior.

Assorted Attributes
Greatly Enhanced Durability and Endurance: For time of Grand Magic Games were occured, Rogue was in possessing of good physical resilience, as he was being struck by powerful melee blows from both Gajeel and Natsu and undergoing the latter's Fire Dragon's Wing Attack without suffering substantial injuries, and continuing to fight and even employing some of his best techniques afterwards. Moreover, Rogue has shown to possess a high amount of physical endurance, being able to confront two fellow Dragon Slayers at the same time with his partner Sting, being struck by powerful melee blows from both Gajeel and Natsu, all the while showing moderate signs of weariness and, in the end, still having the strength to stand back up and barrage his opponents with powerful Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic Techniques. Even near the end of his battle with Natsu and Gajeel, Rogue proved able to perform a mighty Unison Raid with Sting, and only finally fell after being struck by Natsu's Dragon Slayer's Secret Art. And after his trainings, Rogue became much more stronger in his physical performance, as he was able to fight on par with Cobra, who infected the Shadow Dragon Slayer with his poison from the very beginning of their fight. As he became stronger, Rogue now can take even more damage and continue to fight with so great moderate injuries, while in the past, he eventually wouldn't make a single simple physical attack and would lost his battle in such bad state.

Greatly Enhanced Speed and Reflexes: Rogue has been shown to possess above average speed, seen when he outmaneuvered Gajeel during their first battle, though, at the time, he had Shadow Drive activated. Also, while employing Shadow Drive, Rogue proved limber enough to dodge several of Gajeel's own Iron Dragon Slayer Magic Spells, and, afterwards, effectively counterattacking the Iron Dragon Slayer, who, for a time, was unable to follow his erratic movements. But now, as his trainings are over, Rogue became capable of saving such speed and sharpness of his reflexes without magical enhancing. His overall speed became so great, that he can deliver a barrage of attacks to his opponent without giving them an ever single chance of countering it. Moreover, with such big development in his reflexes, Rogue now capable of easily dodging a big amount of attacks with no damage, while with the strongest opponents, that are even faster than he is, he would block most of their strong attacks, while taking the weakers one in ratio 6-7/10 attacks.

Magical Prowess
Immence Magical Power: To utilize Magic, a Mage must use his or her Magic Power (魔力, Maryoku) in their body. Magic Power is the source of Power for all Mages and it's composed of Eternano (魔子 (エーテルナノ), Ēterunano lit. Magic Particles). Eternano dwells inside all living organisms and throughout the atmosphere. Every Mage has a container inside their body, that determines the limits of their Magic Power alongside being the source, from which a magician derives the power he needs - their own body's Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), a special organ that is located within the body of a magician, that absorbs eternano and bunches it up into clusters, which is processed into magical power. Other source, from which the Mage derives the power he needs is the atmosphere. Usually, the amount of magical power is depended from Mage's physical body, as S-class Mages and Saint Wizards can have almost endless magical reserves. In general, all Mages have their iwn limits. If their body's case becomes empty, eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the Mage's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. As a very strong Mage of former strongest guild in Fiore and Dragon Slayer of Third Generation, Rogue possesses a great level of his magical power alongside the great reserves. He is able to use his Magical Power in variety of situations, and he even was able to unlock his true power by connecting and accepting his Dark Side, the most unique and dangerous part of his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic, whose threat was seen and moreover, was feared by almost every single person, who watched the last day of Grand Magic Games. In addition, Rogue is able to make several combination spells with his fellow Dragon Slayer and partner, Sting, who is using an oppositive Dragon Slayer Magic in order to make very powerful and dangerous spells.
 * Eternano and Magic Power Manipulations: Once the user has mastered their own magic, they are capable of drawing in ambient eternano from the atmosphere, and instead of absorbing it into their magical origin, they are able to manipulate the eternano for offensive, defensive, and supportive purposes in any way that they wish. Along with that, some Mages can master their magic power manipulation, a method, which used by some magicians to control their own magic power for a large variety of different purposes, generally, which are the same as for Eternano manipulation, ranging from offensive and defensive, to physical or magical upgrades. After Rogue went away for his trainings, he made a great work on his Magic Bases, so now, he became a very strong person at such manipulations. As properly use of Dark Mode requires very good control over the Magic Power, Rogue now is capable of increasing his Magic flows in order to make himself stronger and not losing control, when he is connected to his Dark Side. In addition to it, he is able to charge Eternano particles of other shadows from the surroundings to his own spells in order to make them far stronger. From that point, as stated by both Sting and Cobra, Rogue's spells and his long stay in Dark Mode has great development and power only due to Rogue's perfect control over both Manipulations of his magic features.
 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気 Maryoku no Reiki; lit. Aura of Magical Power): Magical Aura is a common term given to the exertion of magical energy into a form outside of the user's body that isn't used in the formation of spells. It has been demonstrated by various mages of varying potency, and is a common means of intimidation. A magical aura is created when the body's container of Eternano particles exceeds the limits of what it contains, or is purposefully released by the user. Upon doing so, the magical energy surges around the body and is exerted outwards in the form of an aura, which holds considerable pressure surrounding it. Depending on the level of magical power one possesses and the control behind it, it can be used as a means to intimidate another individual, or as a preparation for a powerful spell. A single magical aura can have a wide variety of effects dependent on the power an individual exerts, which will be outlined in the following sections. Rogue, as S-class Mage of former strongest guild in Fiore has great magic powers. Now, as his trainings are over, he easily can unleash a great magical aura, an ability, which is demonstrated solely by S-Class mages or above in potency. When exerted, the S-Class aura takes the form of an overwhelming level of pressure that surrounds the user in a color that best represents their personality, in Rogue's case, his aura takes some black or dark colours, hinting to his origin as a Dragon Slayer. Also, due to his Dark Side influence, he oftenly displays great difference in his negative emotions appearance within his aura, as he becomes rather very cold, darker and terryfying person. With such trait, he is easily frighten by most of his opponents momentaly. It generally encompasses them in a certain radius, and demonstrates a level of strength that leaves most mages unable to react to it unless they've had continual exposure or exert an aura of similar potency. However, the problem with this aura is that if it used continuously, it can tire an individual. Though considering most S-Class' level of magical power, this is rarely the case. The variety of effects achieved by this aura are noted to be quite high, as it can take the form of different shapes and can be used to repel magical and physical assaults alike.
 * Second Origin Activation (二番原解放, Nibangen Kaihō): Second Origin is a force known as the "second container" of magical energy in an individual. This container exists due to the mage in question constantly, and passively, absorbing a quantity of magic from the environment to renew their original reserves. Any excess is placed within this container and kept sealed until absolutely necessary, or unlocked through a Second Origin Release spell. This Second Origin, when initially activated, places an enormous level of stress on the body unless it is awoken in gradual amounts, as the body isn't accustomed to handling so much magical energy in the body at one time. This can be circumvented by mages with control of their magic, however, allowing them to restore the magical power as a reserve that can be accessed whenever required, therefore providing an extremely useful back-up. Second Origin Activation can only be taken place, as said before, by mages who have control over their own magical energy. It generally only works when one is in a magic-rich environment and has nearly exhausted their initial supplies. By absorbing a copious quantity of magic from the surrounding environment passively (which can be noticed through a tingling sensation in the body), the user's internal reserves can be released at the same time. This, in turn, allows for an immense quantity of magic to replace the initial, depleting reserves. Notably, one can allow the Second Origin to passively increase the quantity of magic that is within it, so long as it isn't used during this period of time, otherwise it has to accumulate magic once again. Rogue gained this ability at the time of his trainings, when he left his guild for a while, alongside the Cobra. With it, not only his magical power, reserves and control over it rises, but his control over all of his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic, including his Dark Mode and Dragon Force becomes much greater. In addition to such control augmentation, while his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic reaches an enormous level, Rogue attain a better control over his most powerful modes, as he can enter them with less efforts and less strain on his body. Ultimately, but not attributed to his Magic Prowess, Rogue himself becomes more cooler with his mind and far more careful with the actions, as even with savage Dark Mode, he can use it to his aid properly. Usually, Rogue uses it, when he faces a real stronger opponent, than himself, or in times, when the hope is the only leading feeling.

Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic
Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic (影の滅竜魔法 Kage no Metsuryū Mahō) is a Caster Magic, Lost Magic and a type of Dragon Slayer Magic, that utilizes the element of shadows. This is magic a sub-type of Dragon Slayer Magic, which allows its user or users to transform their physical bodies into a Shadow Dragon's - the user's lungs becomes capable of spewing shadows, the user's skin gains a protection against the shadow as scales of Dragon. Shadow Dragon Slayers are able to produce and control shadows from any part of their body, which can be used both in melee for an offense and a defense. The shadows of Shadow Dragon Slayers is different from a standart shadow and Shadow Magic, because of its incredibly slicing ability. Also, such shadows can be conjured in a weapon form, in which, they even can deal a real damage as a real-life weapon, of which form they were conjured. In addition, Shadow Dragon Slayers can consume external sources of shadows to restore their body to a healthy state and regain their reserves of strength, something that also makes them immune to the most types of shadows, due to their capability of nullifying shadow-based attacks by sucking them in and eating them. However, the user can’t eat their own shadows, or things set on fire by them, to reinvigorate themselves. Finally, as unique to Shadow Dragon Slayers, they are capable to turn their body in a shadow form, enhancing their movements, speed and gaining the intangibility. But, when caught tangible or fighting another user of Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic, Shadow Dragon Slayers anyway can take the damage.

Rogue has a great mastery over his magic, using it for different purpoes and in different ways, not only in battle situations. With all features of Shadow Dragon, Rogue can adapt to almost every situation. He can use some strong shadow spells or even create various weapons in order to protect himself and increase his capabilities as a fighter. Rogue easily can be claimed as a master of his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic, because he is the one, who have awakened and connected to his Dark Side for the last decade. With this, he can activate his Dark Mode in order to make himself far more stronger. Finally, as a Third Generation Dragon Slayer, he is able to freely use his Dragon Force state, which he can mix with his Dark Side Enhancement in order to enter his most powerful mode so far.
 * Shadow Dragon's Shadow Form (影竜の影形, Eiryū no Kagekata): The all-basic spell for every Shadow Dragon Slayer. This spell gives its user the ability to make their body intangible, hiding it in shadows. Also, with this spell, the user also gains great speed and move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks for their enemies.
 * Shadow Dragon's Roar (影竜の咆哮, Eiryū no Hōkō): The most basic spell, which every Dragon Slayer has in his or her arsenal. Firstly, the user inhale some air, while charging it with some of his Eternano particles in the lungs. Then, they are generating some shadows in their mouth, after what, they release a large burst of shadows. While such Roar Spell can deliver some damage with blunt force, it rather has some unique slicing property, with what the user can deliver a slicing damage to their target.
 * Shadow Dragon's Slash (影竜の斬撃, Eiryū no Zangeki): Roughly said, this spell can be an alternative for Fist spells of other Dragon Slayers. When the user covers their arm in shadows, they fastly rushes to their opponent or target, and then punches them with a knuckle, or with their bare hand. With shadow property, this spell has great cutting property, because of what, the user can deal some accurate and big damage to the opponent.
 * Shadow Dragon's Crushing Fang (影竜の砕牙, Eiryū no Saiga): In some cases, this spell can be considered as similar to a Slash Spell. The user generates shadows from their hand and unleashes them against the target with not only their hand, but their fingertips, as the user gouges his hand into his enemy and quickly swipes it in a manner of scratching attack. While it can be used in close combat, the user also can just generates great amount of shadows and then, attack the opponent with those shadows, creating a momentum for their next attack, or just to makie a disguise.
 * Shadow Dragon's Claw (影竜の鉤爪, Eiryū no Kagitsume): A simple, but effective spell, when the user generates shadows from their feet and then, unleashes them against their target or opponent with a kick attack. Such kick becomes even stronger, as with great blunt force, the shadows also deal some cutting damage to the opponent. With this, when Shadow Dragon Slayer makes some very fast and curve attack, they can deal big slicing damage.
 * Shadow Dragon's Waxwing Flash (影竜の連雀閃, Eiryū no Renjakusen): The user turns their body into shadows and then wraps themselves around the target, assaulting them with a torrent of shadows generated from their hands, becoming tangible once more. Such spell gives to its user the capability of making a surprise attack. Moreover, this spell has the common things with Wing Attack Spells of other Dragon Slayers, though this spell differs from them with its funcioning.
 * Shadow Dragon's Scales (影竜の鱗, Eiryū no Ringa): A more ranged spell, in which the user gathers some shadows and his Eternano particles in hand or hands, and then, swings his arm, generating a very large number of scale-shaped masses of shadows, which are rapidly sent flying at the target in consecutive reprises.
 * Shadow Dragon's Scythe (影竜の大鎌, Eiryū no Ōgama): Another example of using shadows as a weapon. So far, it's Rogue's new spell. The user gathers some shadows in hands, after what, they create a scythe, which is capable of delivering great slashing damage. With this Spell, user can freely fight with opponents, who has a real weapon. Also, as such trait depends only on the user's mastery and power, at at user's will this scythe can cut through opponent's shadows in order to deal not immeadiatily, but more stronger damage to them.

Shadow Drive (シャドウドライブ, Shadō Doraibu): A basic supportive spell of Shadow Dragon Slayers. Drive is a type of Magic-amplification technique, which is common for the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers and used by its users to bring out the true power of their Shadow Dragon Slayer abilities, excluding the power boost granted by Dragon Force, yet, at the same time, seemingly enhancing his physical prowess to a degree, particularly their speed. The user cloaks their body in an aura of shadows, that completely cloaks and continuously rises from his body. With this, they are amplifying the powers of their Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic. When activated, the eyes of the user become obscured, leaving only their blank irises shown. Oftenly, such obscured eyes are seen in red colour. According to Sting, Shadow Drive, as his own White Drive, harnesses "the power that kills Dragons". And indeed, the use of this spell also improves the user's overall physical performance, including their strength, speed, and endurance. Aside from improved performances, the user gains the ability to morph in and out of shadows, allowing for swift, intangible movement and an erratic fighting style. This state either grants its user the ability to perform new spells or makes them stronger, as the Sabertooth Mages has been shown employing several skills only while in said Drive.

White Shadow Dragon's Rough Silk (白影竜の絁, Hakueiryū no Ashiginu): This spell can be both a White Shadow Dragon Mode's Spell and a Combination spell between two Dragon Slayers. When used as a Dual Mode's Spell, the user releases a multitude of very thin beams of light and shadows from his hand, which pierce his target, heavily damaging them. When used as a combination, two users of Dragon Slayer Magic (usually, Shadow and White/Light) releases a multitude of very thin beams of light and shadows from their fingertips in different succession. It is a very powerful spell, in both Dual mode and Combination using. Rogue use this spell with his partner and White Dragon Slayer, Sting Eucliffe.

Dragon Force
Dragon Force (竜の力 (ドラゴンフォース), Doragon Fōsu lit. Power of Dragon): It is an advanced ability, an ultimate form, which can be reached by an every Dragon Slayer. When a Dragon Slayer enters this form, they effectively turns into a humanoid Dragon, gaining reptilian scales and traites, such as alongated and sharper canine teeth and scale-like patterns on their skin. It is a most powerful state of Dragon Slayers, which is give them a power, that can be compated to that of real Dragon. Dragon Force greatly increases the damage done by standard Dragon Slayer spells, and grants the user access to more advanced, powerful attacks. It also drastically enhances the user's physical prowess, making them far stronger, more resistant to damage, and faster, and considerably boosts their Magic Power, which becomes visible, taking the appearance of a Dragon. When exuded at its fullest, said Magic Power takes on a violent corporeality, likely as a result of the immense amount of Magic power employed.

To achieve the state of Dragon Force, Dragon Slayer of each generation has different way to enter it: as First Generation must consume some very powerful Magical Sources of their own element, while other elements are also can be consumed, but will be similar to "poison" for the user, causingheavy after effects, for example, great pain while activation of Dragon Force State.

Being a product of the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers, Rogue is capable of entering the one of the most powerful form of the Dragon Slayer at his will, without the need to consume strong, external sources of Magic. Such a feat greatly surprised those who had intimate knowledge of Dragon Slayer Magic. When this state is activated, Rogue's body becomes much more akin to an actual Shadow Dragon's, with his whole body becoming covered in an shadow aura, which is even thicker and darker than that provided by Shadow Drive, and with thick dark intricate scale-like patterns appearing to cover the outer edges of his face, underneath and around his eyes, extending down from the side of his neck and onto the rest of his body. These are shown to be more and more uniform as they get farther from the central portion of his body, which instead bear several scattered, distinct scales, elongated and placed diagonally. These patterns serves as is dragon's scales. Not only in appearance, but Rogue achieves even greater boost in his powers, as his speed becomes in several times higher, than in Shadow Drive. His shadows also become very strong due to Dragon Force influence.

Rogue jumps over his target and releases a large, extremely powerful burst of shadows from his mouth, greatly damaging his target and surrounings. As stated by Sting, who faced it, such spell of Rogue is very similar to his own Holy Breath Spell, and can maintain the same power of destruction. Thus, Sting's words are hinting, that Black Breath Spell is capable of easily reducing something similar to the Domus Flau's arena to rubble, creating a large, almost cavernous hole in the ground in the process, not if being the same spell as Sting's.
 * Enhanced Shadow Dragon's Scales: As Dragon Force makes its user the strongest, Rogue can used far powerful versions of his spells, in enhanced form. As a result, even Scales Spell becomes very powerful to the point, that when released, its form resemble a ball of shadows, which is capable of dealing great damage and quickly discard opponent, as a single shot can create a small explosion upon impact. Eventually, Rogue finds its power and form similar to Sting's Holy Blast Spell.

Though, Sting claimed, that this spell is similar to Rogue's Scales Spell.
 * Shadow Dragon's Vortex (影竜の渦, Eiryū no Uzu): A spell, in which the user extends their shadow in length, creating a large, swirling vortex-like shadow under the target, that pulls in and "devours" any and all targets the user wishes without leaving a trace.
