Tsuyo Morduin

"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win."

Tsuyo Morduin (黈誉・モードゥイン, Tsuyo Mōduin) is an traveling throughout the country of, actively searching for the  responsible for the death of Silent Virtue—a team composed of his family members. Having been trained by Macha Branwen, More Coming Soon..

Appearance
As a child, Tsuyo was often described to be short and thin, often being compared to the likeness of a twig by his uncle Kidon. The most prominent feature that he possessed would have to be his crimson-colored eyes, a trait that he inherited from his mother, and expressed his emotions in a vivid spectrum. His hair is auburn in color, another trait that he inherits from his mother and is noticeably messy, possessing an ahoge (アホ毛, long spike of hair), much to the frustration of his mother as she could never force it to stay down. Despite being thin, his face possessed a great amount of baby fat and his skin complexion was light which he inherited from his father as opposed to his mother's pale skin. When it came to clothing, Tsuyo usually wore a tracksuit that covered his entire body. Said tracksuit was very baggy, to the point where it was impossible to make out his body structure. The color of the suit was dark red and had white vertical lines on the sides along with white sneakers.

After undergoing training with Macha for seven years, Tsuyo considerably changed in appearance, becoming a young adult within the eyes of many. He is noticeably taller, standing at a height that allows to be look directly at Macha. His body structure is different as well, as he possess an athletic build that is fitting for that of a swimmer or runner—this is evident in his lean structure, long arms and legs, and having above average muscles. His facial features have also changed as his face looks angular and defined due to the baby fat that once was evident is now practically gone thanks to his training. Tsuyo's hair, while still it's standard auburn color and possessing an ahoge, is shaggier and longer in length, as his hair now reaches to the back of his neck. Despite how messy his hair looks, Kogu has commented it is surprisingly soft, implying that he still takes care of it. The most prominent feature of Tsuyo that has changed over time are his eyes. While still retaining their standard crimson coloring, they are now lifeless, expressing little to no emotions whatsoever.

When it comes to clothing, Tsuyo's preference toward what he wears has changed noticeably as he now prefers to wear apparel that consist of dark colors. His casual attire consists of a school uniform, similar to how mother and her brothers usually wore such outfits. His uniform composes of a black blazer that has white accents along the collar area of the jacket. Underneath the ebony jacket, Tsuyo has on a white dress-shirt with a blue tie that hangs tightly around his neck. His outfit also consists of a pair of matching black dress pants, and a pair of blue and white shoes, specifically sneakers. There are moments where Tsuyo will switch his standard attire for another, consisting of a black graphic design T-shirt; underneath that is a white muscle shirt. He has on a pair of black jeans that are held up by a dark brown belt with a silver buckle, and a set of red and white sneakers. He also has a set of white bandages that are wrapped around his right wrist for some odd reason. When Tsuyo is in areas of cold climate, he will typical switch to a black trench coat that has a red line running vertical down the left side—underneath that is a white short-sleeved shirt that has a red cross above his hair. He has on a set of heavy black pants, and a pair of black boots. For accessories, Tsuyo has a black scarf around his neck that travels to his mid back; this scarf previously belonged to his father and acts as a memento of him.

History
"My quest is nothing noble. I seek vengeance against those who took my family away from me."

- Tsuyo's motivation.

<!--

Tsuyo is the the only son of Daitan Ryokō and Eiyo Ryokō, two immensely powerful Mages and members of the well known team, Silent Virtue. Born in Dunkel Hell, he was raised alongside his family as they traveled the world. Being raised around rather powerful Mages who seemed to fight for noble causes, Tsuyo often looked up to them. Tsuyo was a rather active child, as well as curious. However his curiosity often got the best of him at times. Such a thing happened when Tsuyo was 10 years old. He and his family had head to a nearby town due to the rumors surrounding it that a powerful beast was in the area and was killing off villagers and mages that tried to oppose it. Daitan had placed Tsuyo in a hotel room, telling him not to leave until they came back or he was told leave by another adult. Tsuyo stayed in the room for not even a minute as he managed to climb out the window. He began to walk around town until he managed to end up in the forest. He soon heard the sound of a ferocious cry, followed by sounds of a fight. His curiosity, once again getting the better of him, made him go and investigate the sounds he heard. He quickly came across his family fight against an animal, no a monster. They were struggling but were still winning the fight. Tsuyo had never seen his family fight in such a way and left him with awe. Right when his father was about to strike the finishing blow, Tsuyo let out a loud cheer, breaking Daitan's concentration and allowing the monster to batter him away, charging straight for Tsuyo. Frozen in shock, Tsuyo could do nothing as he watched the beast dash at him and prepare to strike him down. The shock only increased as he saw his mother take the hit meant for him, sending her hurling. Tsuyo could only faint afterward as he saw that his mother was hurt, bleeding vigorously from the side of her torso.

When Tsuyo woke up, he found himself back in the hotel. Thinking it was a dream, he went to go find his family, opening the next door. He saw that his mother was lying on the bed, bandage from head to toe. Daitan began to speak, saying that he was both disappointed and enraged at his son's foolishness. Tsuyo could only stand there as he heard his father's hurtful words but knew that they were the truth. He knew that his mother's injuries were his fault only. After briefly crying for a moment, Tsuyo went back into his room and simply stayed in there, not coming out for three days. On the fourth day, much to relief of his family, he came out. Before Daitan could speak, Tsuyo requested that he be trained. Confused at such a sudden request, Daitan asked to illiterate. Tsuyo then went on about his mother's injuries were his fault because he was both undisciplined and weak. Daitan, looking into his son's eyes, was surprised. He saw nothing but pure raw determination, the need to get stronger and protect those he cared for. He decided that he would train him, but warned Tsuyo that it would not be easy. Tsuyo let out a small grin, showing that he was not going to back out. Since that day, Tsuyo began to undergo his training, determened to never be weak. He underwent brutal and at times, very questionable methods of training. -->

Equipment
Fragarach (フラガラック, Furagaku; Irish for "The Answer"): Fragarach is an ancient and unique magical sword that was forged many centuries ago, dating back to when Magic was first introduced to the populace of Earth Land. Known as the Heaven's Radiant Blade (天の烱然刃, Ama no Keizenjin) because of the supposed legend that this sword fell from the heavens, this was quickly disproven by his cousin as she was able to confirm that Fragarach was created through Smithing Magic and was even able to decipher that the blade is composed of the legendary precious metal known as Orichalcum, an unbreakable material which makes this sword lighter, stronger, and sharper than weapons created from other materials. It is because of this metal that Tsuyo is capable of evoking his special brand of Sword Magic, revolving around flooding the sword with an immense amounts of magical power. Upon looking at the design of this weapon, it is quite clear that Fragarach is very unique in terms of appearance; taking the form of a longsword that is stainless black in texture, and uniquely shaped—it doesn't seem to possess a discernible hilt, instead, it seems more like a stylized hunk of metal with a sharp edge. It is intricately woven, to the point that it could possibly function as a blade on both sides. The longer side has a curved edge—curving slightly upwards like a proper sword with numerous wing-esque markings. The opposite side is the antithesis of this—it is slightly shorter, with various handle-like hunks of metal which jut downwards, perhaps serving the purpose of a temporary grip. Outside of its unusual appearance and superior metal, Fragarach possesses special abilities that were granted to it through the power of Smithing Magic. The most recognizable ability that Fragarach possesses is its limited sentience as shown when Macha attempted to wield the blade, her hands were burned. From what she has theorized, this sword is capable of looking into a person's mind or soul to see where they are worthy of even holding it. So far, only Kogu is the only person outside of Tsuyo that is capable of wielding this weapon. In Irish Mythology, is the legendary sword of  and later passed down to.

Celtchair (セルッチャーア, Serutchāa): Celtchair is an Edolas Item that was given to Tsuyo in order to make up for his inability to use Magic in the alternate universe while the Revolutionary Army continued to work on synthesizing. Being classified by Nemain as a pair of "" (原型・封炎篭手, Genkei Fūenkote),

Ways of Combat
"Being a swordsman is much more than the ability to cut through anything. A sword that can simply harm anything isn't a sword. The mightiest sword is the one that protects what it wants to protect. A true swordsman can cut nothing and anything. Cut without cutting."

- Daitan Morduin

Having been trained by a multitude of people who specialize in this form of combat,
 * Sword Pressure (剣圧, Ken'atsu):
 * Musō Zenshin-ryū (無双前進流, Peerless Advance Style)

Having been trained by his uncle, Tsuyo is a practitioner of  (黑虎拳, Chinese for "Black Tiger Fist")—a martial arts that allows him to mimic the characteristic of a. This fighting style primarily revolves around the user making use of their strength in order to break through any form of defense, whether it is physical or magical. This is done by Tsuyo striking his opponent with the "tiger claws" (虎爪, Kosō)—allowing him to tearing, ripping, clawing and grasping an opponent, as well as striking with the palm of the claw to inflict the upmost damage onto his foe. He also makes use of devastating and dynamic kicks, such as the whirlwind kick and swallow kick. Thought this animalistic style, Tsuyo is able to fight on even terms with combatants that are considered masters within their own right such as Hogotsu Sezoku and Genghis Breningoch. There have been instances where the Heihuquan has proven to be ineffective due to Tsuyo's lack of mastery. In situations like these, he will rely on his instincts—attempting to survive any attack that is thrown his way—akin to a. Based on what has been seen, Tsuyo will only resort to fighting like this in either moments of desperation or when he is actually enjoying himself. The most well known example is during his match against Damon D. Draco, his cousin and rival in terms of fighting stance. Overall, Tsuyo is a capable fighter when he is pushed in the position, dishing out powerful strikes and reacting accordingly in combat.

Physical Prowess
Unbelievable Strength: Tsuyo, despite what many of his opponents think of him, has unbelievable amounts of physical strength, all in due part to consistently training his body to its peak and his many experiences on the battlefield. This is shown in his muscular frame, all of which is hidden underneath his attire. It's known he can easily lift ten times his own weight with mere ease, all of which is done with one hand. With a single punch, he can shatter large obstacles with any recoil of the sort, all the while causing shockwaves that many mistake for miniature earthquakes. He can crush most metals with a single hand, shattering them into tiny fragments, something many opponents consider to be impossible through normal means, considering their mass and density. Even when he uses his legs, which normally contains three times the normal strength of the arms itself, a single kick can create large craters while damaging the surrounding to such an extent that many would call it a "small-scale natural disaster". In single jump, he can reach several stories, catching many airborne opponents off-guard and attacking them in a normal fashion, albeit its limited to his endurance. With his unique sword, he can wield it with a single hand, despite its size and weight, swing it in a freestyle manner, carry it on his back without any strain to himself, and can upturn structure(s) underneath him & his opponents with a simple slam. Even his sword skills and martial arts are usually backed by his physical strength, letting him create fatal wounds with mere ease. These feats are without the use of magical power backing him up. If he did magic backing him up, his parameters would shoot through the roof, letting him pull of physical feats many consider to be deemed a madman's work, something he doesn't really care about, as he doesn't mind being show-off, so as long as his opponents surrender knowing they have no hope of defeating him in combat. Overall, Tsuyo's physical strength isn't something to be under-minded, but to be feared, as he can end many battles in single instances just by his physical strength alone.

Astonishing Speed: Tsuyo's speed is considered to be astonishing, being able to outspeed even the fastest individuals, especially those who use the magic High Speed. His movements, at times, have been so fast, that some have confused his movement with the concept of teleportation altogether. Many fighters who are known for their speed pale in comparison to Tsuyo's very own, mainly because Tsuyo's leg strength are an obvious factor for his speed, which also stresses a heavy emphasis on footwork. Because he's smaller than most of his opponents, he can be flexible at times, using the combination of his muscular frame, his size, and his speed in order to get into the enemy's blindspots and attack accordingly, launching a flurry of perfected and unforeseeable amount of attacks in which it becomes impossible to stand up against let alone defend through normal means. He can also sneak behind the most stealthiest of individuals without them noticing, easily catching them off-guard. It's commonly known that point-blank moves are usually rendered useless just like any other standard-range or long-range attacks on his person, as his combat perception and speed allows him to dodge point-blank attacks with just as much ease. Because he trains his body to such extremes, surpassing all limitations, he's reached new parameters that're considered unobtainable to normal individuals, all of which is without the aid of magic. It's because of this that Tsuyo can be considered to be one of the most physically fit individuals seen within the series. Such an example is when he involuntarily create speed clones when he moves, letting him confuse his opponents, while continually using the surrounding wind pressure to accelerate his movements even further, surpassing his previous levels of speed. It's because of this that it becomes harder to tell his trajectory. Overall, Tsuyo's speed is usually unsurpassed by any individual within the series, being a league of its own, and because of his knowledge of combat, its used in unexpected ways in tandem with his other abilities that can easily earn him a victory over others.

Incredible Endurance and Durability: Tsuyo, despite his stature, can withstand the most brutal of assaults, all of which he comes out with a few minor scratches. Even when slammed into large obstructions, he comes out relatively unscathed and still continues to fight the enemy, acting like nothing happened to him. It's known that most form of magics doesn't even faze him as he has exposed his body & accustomed them to the effects of various kinds and adjust to them accordingly in preparation to future battles in which said magics will be used against him. This includes most, if not all, elemental magics, such as Fire Magic, known for the heat it produces, and Lightning Magics, known for its paralysis effect and its lethal attack power, deeming most them moot when it reaches his person. However this can vary, pending on how skilled the opposing mage is in said area, or what weapon the magic in question is channeled through, as some can be amplified and controlled in various ways, much more than what his body can normally handle, much to the latter's chagrin. However, these are rare cases and Tsuyo's endurance always seem to hold up in the end, baffling those who face him in combat. Because he's physically fit, surpassing all limitations put on his body, thus reaching new parameters untouched by any other, he can battle opponents for many days on end without showing signs of wear in the slightest. Even when heavily injured, he can still find the strength to cast high-level spells and use his most powerful abilities, all of which requires one to be at their peak, an important fact that shouldn't be ignored by any individual, especially those on the opposing side. When he's facing others in harsh terrain (ie. a desert with sweltering heat, the middle of the arctic, the inner depths of a tropical jungle, under many bodies of water, the supreme heights of many mountains, etc.), he's not affected in the slightest, his muscular frame building a certain high-level of tolerance to all of it, letting him fight as he pleases. When he enhances his body with magic, stimulating each and every one of his cells to great heights, he becomes nigh invincible in every aspect, giving him the ability to recover at rapid rates, and when used in conjunction with his other magic, many find it hard to put him down for the count. Overall, the endurance that Tsuyo possesses is mind-staggering, making many wonder what his very body is made of, something he never really cares for, given his emotionless personality.

Magical Abilities
Immense Magic Power: Befitting for a powerful warrior of his stature, Tsuyo's magical power is nothing to sneeze at. In fact, like his physical strength and his astonishing speed, it's something to be highly feared, as the mere levels of magical power affords him certain advantages over most opponents that could easily earn him certain victory. In fact, most of his opponents noted that Tsuyo's amount of magical powerful is considered to unnatural, especially to a person his age. Though, this is in part to him being the transmigrant of Sonkei Lasanam, a legendary swordsman feared throughout Earthland for his immense magical power and swordsmanship. Such an example is casting a string of highly-taxing magical spells with minimum depletion on his reserves, most of them performing it with one hand effortlessly. Another advantage is that he's afforded the ability to use high-class and very powerful magics, such as the Celestial Grace and gaining the ability to use certain armors, one of which has the power to go toe-to-toe with a Dragon Slayer, who're described as one of the most powerful brand of mages, with mere ease. Initially, before the timeskip, Tsuyo's magical power tended to run wild in certain situations, especially those dealing with powerful opponents, though he had minimum and sub-par control over it. The reason for this is that both his body and magical power levels didn't link up quite properly at the time, the latter outweighing the former, thus more energy was expended than it had to. This was seen when he faced a dark guild years prior to the storyline, leading to the event which earned him his moniker, using his magical power in such a way that the guild members didn't stand a chance, albeit he suffered some backlash from his own immense power, as it damaged his body to minor extents. It was only during the timeskip, with proper training regiment and personal guidance that Tsuyo gained complete control in his vast amounts of magical power. In fact, many of his companions, among them Kogu Marlowe, his travelling companion and close friend, noticed a spike in his magical reserves that outright surpassed his levels during his years prior, putting him on a level of his own. It should be properly noted that by this point, he can contend with the most dangerous opponents for days on end, using his magic in a myriad of ways that always have the opposing end on their toes. It also allows him to perform his special brand of Sword Magic, which is known to be versatile in nature. Even when he faced Titania of Fairy Tail, she noted that he shouldn't be taken lightly, thus resorted to using her archaic set of armors in their battle, called the Undying Set, each said to possess and insurmountable amount of offensive power, in her unique version of the Requip - "The Knight", and could only tie with him in the end. In short, Tsuyo's levels are mind-staggering, being on par with his physical prowess. The color of his magical power is a silverish-purple color, though the color tends to change when he uses certain brands of magic.
 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気, Maryoku no Reiki): A 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. That being said, Tsuyo uses his magical aura in three specific ways: as a form of intimidation and a deterrent, as a body & spell enhancer, and as a sensing radius; all of which are considered to be very effective in their own unique way. Initially, Tsuyo's power was rather difficult for him to control, as he has no formal training in controlling it and him having far more magical energy than his body can consciously contain, and it tended to fluctuate wildly. This made hiding his presence from others, and by extension performing sneak attacks, nearly impossible, thus had to use his physical prowess to compensate for this innate flaw. It also made him expend more energy than he initially has to with some of his spells, which was not a problem at the time, as the quantity also compensated for this flaw. However, this all changed during the timeskip of the storyline, where he went on a training journey in order to improve himself as both a mage and as a person, amongst other personal reasons unexplained. It was after the timeskip that his control over his magical power was immense, bordering god-like in stature, using it in ways that has many on their toes when battling him. It's at this point that when sensed by the opposing side, they describe his aura as "monstrously overwhelming." As explained before, Tsuyo uses his exerted magical aura in three unique yet effective ways. When used as a form of intimidation/deterrent, the aura takes the form of a demonic specter of sorts. This puts most of his opponents into submission, as its been increased to a point where they even begin to seriously doubt if they can defeat him by any means. Also, when released in such a manner, he is able to affect entire areas to the point of disrupting energy attacks from enemies, affect others from seemingly miles away and cause them to enter a state of paralysis and confusion, and use it as a sort of armor making it impossible for him to be harmed by nothing less than the most skilled or powerful opponents. He can even cause miniature earthquakes and make many structures, magical or otherwise, to collapse in on itself with relative ease. When used as a spell or body enhancer, his parameters increase immensely, letting him perform feats he couldn't do with regular strength alone. This includes destroying magical-enhanced structures with a single punch without suffering recoil of any kind or withstand attacks that could be considered life-threatening by normal means, even for the most powerful of mages. He can uses his magical aura to stimulate his own life force or the life force of those around him, allowing for rapid recovery of the body. Many mistake this as a form of healing spell, though this is partially right, as this method doesn't really rely on an outside force in order to achieve. Even when casting spells, he can use his aura to empower them or give them certain effects, such as causing it change its shape, thus changing its initial purpose, adding certain effects such as paralysis or burn, giving it enough force to counterattack a spell of greater power or potency, or use it to break down and weaken his own opponents spells or turn it against them, assuring him a certain type of immunity of sorts. The third and final way he uses it is as a sensing radius, allowing him to detect and recognize magical signatures from great distances. During the timeskip, Tsuyo refined this aspect to the point where he can determine a person's background and the nature of their magic, and even differentiate different species of magical creatures altogether. When amplified to a certain point, his sensory range was enough that he could fight without his other senses, locating targets and dodging attacks through sense alone. It should be noted that because magical aura is usually linked to one's personality, Tsuyo's magical aura has no feel to it, in a sense, as he's an emotionless person. But, in rare cases, when he does exhibit emotion, the magical aura will take on the properties of said emotion, further empowering it, endowing it with certain effects. The effects haven't been shown as of this point, however, during the event with the dark guild which earned him his moniker, it's said that Tsuyo allowed his emotions to take over, thus allowing his magical aura to act upon it, thus earning him a flawless victory against his agitators. Overall, Tsuyo's use of his magical aura is an immense asset to his combat arsenal as it affords him to create certain advantages to assure him of the results he desires.
 * 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. The overall effects of activating the Second Origin are quite evident: an enormous boost in magical energy, empowered spells, ability to enhance physical strikes with magical reinforcements, temporarily breaking the "laws" of magic with specific equipment, and the rest. Notably, Second Origin is thought to be powerful enough to make a S-Class Candidate become as strong as a fully fledged S-Class Mage, while making an experienced S-Class Mage even stronger. Though it should be noted that most S-Class Mages are nearing this level of magical power in any case.

Sword Magic
Sword Magic (剣の魔法, Ken no Mahō): Sword Magic is a simple form of Holder Magic that is utilized by Tsuyo, acting as one of the few offensive magics within his arsenal. Despite the fact that Sword Magic has existed for several centuries, it is still utilized to this day and is incredibly common throughout the world of Earth Land alongside Requip. As the name itself implies, this magic revolves around the utilization of swords—most recurring types of swords being and —acting as mediums for Tsuyo to preform particular techniques. By manipulating the properties of the blade via this form of magic, Tsuyo is capable of achieving many feats through the use of his sword alone—most of which would normally be considered as impossible beforehand—as most of them involve going past the physical reach of the blade employed within his use. Such feats include extension of the sword's length, adding elemental natures to it—ranging from roaring flames to radiant light—thus giving it various effects depending on the element, having it multiply to increase its attack range, changing the sword's overall shape to fit the caster's needs, or anything of similar usage. During the, Erza Scarlet displayed that this magic can be used in conjunction with Telekinesis; this allows the user to maneuver several swords at the name time using their thoughts alone, serving as an adage to the wielder's fighting style. The possibilities and concepts of Sword Magic is nigh infinite, being only limited to the user's imagination. It's a common practice for master casters to invent their own style of Sword Magic, making it specifically unique to them.

Tsuyo was originally taught the basics of Sword Magic by his father Daitan Morduin and uncle Kidon Morduin—each possessing a unique understanding about how said magic works despite the fact that the former has no prior experience in using the magic. More Coming Soon...
 * Falcon's Crest (天翔蒼破斬 (ファルコンズ・クレスト), Farukonzu Kuresuto lit. Imperial Soaring Blue Destructive Slash): Falcon's Crest is an extremely powerful Sword Magic spell that is meant to be used as sword technique, the user has developed it to the point that they can adapt and change how it appears depending on the circumstances of its use, such as a defending attack, a medium-to-long range attack, and an area-of-effect ability. Despite the great range of uses, the spell is activated by infusing the user's magical power into their sword, forcing a series of high-frequency vibrations to start in their blade in order to increase the cutting effectiveness of their blade drastically, also making their strikes difficult to block and counter. This results in the user's blade emitting a "humming" noise, and the blade of their weapon visibly blurring. It should be noted, that the user's sword emits a mystical light while undulating. Once this is done, the user manipulates their magical power into the motion of a single swing. When performing the "killing stroke" the user transfers the full force of their magical power as though it were "mass" through their sword and then through the air; the strike itself is the medium, with the end result manifesting as a devastating wave of pure magical power. The wave can pass through any obstruction that prevents it from striking its target; leaving no collateral damage, unless it is erected by a superior force or the foe themselves, travelling in a spiraling pattern which demolish the surroundings as it moves. It is an attack that encompasses all their "power" into a singular strike; which is why it is often a lethal strike.
 * Tornado Edge (トルネード・エッジ, Torunēdo Ejji): Tornado Edge is a powerful Sword Magic spell. When performing Tornado Edge, the user grips their blade tightly, while gathering and condensing magical energy upon their sword, granting it a boost in power. Once the magical energy has been properly compacted, the user spins at high speed, causing a slight pull on nearby opponents while emitting a large tornado that devastates the area. The user slashes them multiple times and traps them. This makes escape via directional influence difficult. While powerful, it is known to be erratic; more often than not catching the user's foe off-guard while dealing a multitude of strikes; it is enhanced by the wind generated by the spiral formation that the user spins around in; and thus it traps foes in a vicious cyclone of slashes which deals up to thirteen hits while damaging all the foes in the radius of the user's sword. When Tornado Edge is finished, the last hit dealt causes slightly more than moderate knockback, but can be very dangerous if used in the air, as while descending, the user is helpless due to the sheer momentum generated by the initial Tornado Edge, which had tired them out, leaving them completely vulnerable. Tornado Edge can be controlled, allowing the user to move in any direction while using the spell, and moving instead of remaining causes the user to extend the amount of time that they spin. While using the Tornado Edge in the air, if all strikes make contact, the final blow has extremely powerful upward knockback. This spell can be used for recovery as well. It gains great horizontal distance on top of some vertical distance, especially if the user jumps before using the spell. However, something to note is that the user will bounce off of the ground rather than returning safely if the user hits them while they are in the tornado. Tornado Edge is a much more powerful version of a Kaiten Giri (回転斬り, Rotation Cut); an attack where the swordsman stands on one leg and spins around swiftly while holding their blade out, dealing multiple strikes.
 * Tempest Blade (天刃疾風破十文字 (テンペスト・ブレイド), Tenpesuto Bureido lit. Heavenly Blade Squall Destruction Cross): Tempest Blade is one of the user's more powerful Sword Magic spells; when performing it, the user swirls around in a spiral pattern, with their magical energy fluctuating wildly to manifesting an interweaving helix of varying pressure. The moment that the user finishes the spiral, the user quickly swings their blade forwards; this forces the returning wind currents to immediately ascend in the atmosphere as the energy from the clash manifests as a highly destructive hurricane that blows the opponent away with tremendous velocity. The size and the strength of the hurricane manifested all depends upon the pressure difference between the high and low pressure wind currents, the amount of energy present in that wind and the number of revolutions in the spiral pattern that were completed before the user generated the hurricane. As a bonus, the hurricane will continue to absorb the magical energy that the user and their opponents generate, which is guaranteed to further enhance the strength of the hurricane if the foes persist. Because the spell reverses the foe's energy upon themselves, its power is related to the foe's own power. While difficult to pull off, it is one of the most powerful techniques that the user possesses. This technique is based on the Hiryū Shōten Ha from Ranma ½.
 * Sword Birth (万剣古戦場 (ソード・バース), Sōdo Bāsu lit. Many Swords on the Ancient Battleground): Sword Birth is an immensely powerful Sword Magic spell that Tsuyo is able to use. It is said that those able to use this spell to the fullest have undeniable proof that they are swordsman of the highest caliber, having complete mastery over the ways of the sword. To use this spell, Tsuyo will manifest his magical energy outward before planting his sword within the very earth that he stands on. As thought this is a signal, a magical symbol will appear underneath his feet and will grow in size until it extends outward to a one mile radius. By using the magical symbol as a medium, Tsuyo will use Shape Transformation to mold his own magic into copies of his sword that are planted within the ground; unleashing a over one hundred replications of his sword in any location around the battlefield. Before Timeskip, Tsuyo remarks that he has not mastered this spell as he should be able to conjure up a unlimited supply of swords and the range that they sprout from should be over four miles. Nevertheless, he is quite skilled in using this spell, being able to use multiple swords at once and even created what he has dubbed as  The Hundred One-Sword Style (百一刀流, Hyaku Ittōryū); a sword style that involves Tsuyo using a plethora of swords to attack his opponent, overwhelming them and delivering devastating damage. Post Timeskip, Tsuyo's usage of this spell has evolved, being able to use it more effectively. He successfully extended the range of his sword-spawning, as it is capable of sprouting swords within a three miles radius, and is also able to conjure a unlimited supply of swords across the battlefield. Not only that but his skill with The Hundred One-Sword Style has also improved as he is now able to use the sword that he conjures as projectiles and even preform new, devastating attacks with them. This spell is directly based on the Scared Gear of the same name from Highschool DXD.

Celestial Grace
Celestial Grace (天恵の霊肉 (セレッシャル・グレース), Seressharu Gurēsu; Japanese for "Heaven's Blessing of the Body and Soul"): Celestial Grace is a unique Caster Magic, which enables the user to harness every aspect of their magical energy. Any user of Celestial Grace is extremely in-tune with magic; being capable of manipulating every single little detail of the essence of magic, and even magical particles. All in all, the user is able to manipulate their magical aura for offensive, defensive, and supportive purposes; and this extends to eternano. Eternano dwells inside all living organisms and throughout the atmosphere. Nobody knows when Magic began, or how Eternano originated. To utilize Magic, the user must use their (as the case may be) power. Eternano is the source of Magic Power for everyone, and every living human has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power. The user of Celestial Grace treats the eternano in the atmosphere as an extension of their body, almost like a fifth limb of sorts; all of this is harnessed through their magical aura. The user has complete control over the eternano, and as such, enabling them to outperform almost any fellow elemental magic that they themselves knows of, even surpassing many modern mages. Thanks to their immense mastery over the magical aura, the user is capable of manipulating the magical particles in the atmosphere—and even inside opponent mages in almost any way possible, leading to a great amount of creativity. The user is shown to be capable of coating their arms, legs, and their weapon with stray eternano, enabling them to triple their physical power and speed as well. The user manifests the energy as well as particles into a sharp coating for their blade, allowing them to fight blade-to-blade with even more strength. When the user utilizes this ability, they are able to brandish horrendously powerful weapons and their blasts have tremendous force behind them.

Celestial Grace is unique in that no two owners of the magic are the same. This is because of the core mechanic of the magic—Celestial Soul Power (天霊力, Tenreiryoku). Celestial Soul Power is a special energy granted to any user of the magic—it is a reflection of the user's soul and experiences, built up throughout their entire life. Because of it, the Celestial Soul Power is known to be the absolute strongest of the Celestial Grace magic –disregarding the user's personal spells while using the magic- and only those that access the Celestial Soul Power can be credited as having mastery over the magic. The Celestial Soul Power is said to be capable of being drawn out through a little bit of soul-searching, looking over all of their mistakes and regrets until they overcome that crushing guilt. Once this has been done, by moving on, the user is capable of bringing out the Celestial Soul Power. Going on, the Celestial Soul Power enables the user of Celestial Grace to become synchronized with their magical power, allowing them to utilize it in unique ways beyond the ability of normal magicians. One special way of utilizing the magic is that simply by molding and shaping the Celestial Soul Power, the user is capable of using the magic as a replacement for various types of Caster and Holder Magic- for example, by shaping the Celestial Soul Power into the form of a blade and igniting their magical power, the user can essentially replicate Sword Magic. Even better, by mastering Celestial Grace, the user is capable of combining both magics. It should be noted that depending on each user's Celestial Soul Power, they could replicate elemental magics.
 * Brionac (天の矛 (ブリューナク), Buryūnaku lit. Spear of Heaven): The Brionac is a Celestial Grace spell; and the most basic spell that the user can harness; but despite this, it is extremely powerful. When performing this spell, the user raises both of their hands in the air at their sides; slowly, but surely generating and gathering twilight between their open, facing palms. This is rapidly shaped into the form of a massive spear composed of twilight, which the user proceeds to hurl at the enemy. When thrown, it produces a massive blast of twilight that spirals out from the epicenter of the point where the spear impacted. The powerful blast released by this technique upon impact can inflict heavy damage upon the user's opponent, wreaking havoc for an extended radius; it is capable of homing upon an opponent, dodging many an obstacle until it reaches the user's intended target. The weapon generated by Brionac in this form resembles a Ji, a traditional Chinese halberd, in appearance. Interestingly, the user is capable of condensing it upon a sword; launching the Brionac in this state will result in the spear taking the form of a small sphere of twilight, which, upon the swing of the blade, is released in the form of a giant laser which is launched forward immediately, capable of causing large-scale damage and destruction. The laser can be further augmented to fire a much larger blast; and the user can use this technique in several different manners, such as striking the ground to create an omnidirectional blast to knock away incoming attacks or slashing at the ground to upturn it and crush everything in its path; as well as keep it imbued within their blade to augment the power of their sword swings. This attack is powerful enough to cut through solid rock and even pierce through a magical barrier.
 * Heavenly Counterattack (迎撃天, Geigekiten): Heavenly Counterattack is a special Celestial Grace spell which enables the user to deliver damage to the attacker when the user is hit; essentially, it is just as it is labeled; a counterattack. When performing the Heavenly Counterattack, the user focuses twilight into their arms or their weapon, before crossing their arms before their body, emitting a small repulsion of twilight. Upon contact with the opposing technique, the repulsion reverses the opponent's attack, whether it be close-range or projectile, upon them, returning it to sender, causing the user to retaliate in any way that they wish as well. If the attack is a projectile, it will simply be deflected behind them and upwards at about a thirty degree angle. It's worth noting explosive projectiles can still explode and will still do damage if they are struck when the repulsion is dissipated. If the attack is a powerful spell such as a Secret Art, then the attacker will be knocked back at a ninety degree angle. The user is capable of leaping out of the counterattack, allowing them to take the opponent by surprise. Essentially, Heavenly Counterattack multiplies a spell or technique's damage by one point five percent when there is a successful counter. If a projectile is reversed several times, then Heavenly Counterattack will be rendered null and void, as the user loses the energy to retain the stance, and the projectile just passes through the stance and damages the user normally. The repulsion part of Heavenly Counterattack is capable of being used for regular offense, as with it, the user is capable of knocking their opponent downwards; and immediately after using it, the stance of Heavenly Counterattack leaves the user of the spell vulnerable, meaning that while it is extremely risky, the payoff is more than worth the efforts driven into using the spell.
 * Angel's Raiment (羽衣, Hagoromo): Angel's Raiment is a special Celestial Grace spell which deals in giving the user an extremely powerful boost to their parameters. When performing Angel's Raiment, the user gathers twilight around their body, before fusing it with their magical origin, infusing and accumulating twilight into their weapon and body, momentarily injecting an arbitrary vector that allows for an exceptional boost of their abilities by instantaneously releasing the twilight to reinforce themselves. It can be called a jet blast of twilight to increase their movements in close combat, and executing large-scale body reinforcement through the spell is only possible with the user's immense magical power. As a result of Angel's Raiment, the user's base power level, strength, speed, and senses greatly increase; doubling their power, allowing for a massive boost all across the board. Additionally, the user demonstrates the ability to heighten the effect of this spell to increasingly higher multiplications. When bolstered by Angel's Raiment, the user's strength and speed have increased to the point that they can punch a car so hard as to send it over their head and by them being able to knock a Vulcan down the road with little effort in doing so; overall, the Angel's Raiment enables the user to inflict serious damage to opponents who are considerably stronger than them. The user harnesses the power of Angel's Raiment for their sword techniques, guarding, and movement. The user is able to reinforce the ability of their body to such a great extent using magic that they can fight head on with monsters such as demons even with a weak body, and each of their powerful blows contains enough magical energy that they are visible, and their strikes can be compared to a powerful shotgun. As an added bonus, the user also has complete control over the technique and can activate it anywhere at any time even during conversation.
 * TsuyoYinYangCharge.jpgCelestial Soul Power: Yin-Yang Charge (天霊力・陰陽進, Tenreiryoku: Onmyōshin): As a bonus, the users of Celestial Grace are given an appropriate 'personal' power, reflecting the nature of the person's particular soul. This power is born from the user's personal experiences, meaning that no two users of Celestial Grace can possess the same power. With Yin-Yang Charge, Tsuyo is capable of utilizing the devilish nature of darkness magic and the holy ability of light magic; merging them together and giving him the ability to use both elements simultaneously. Light and Shadow are polar opposite elements; and when merged together, they create an unfathomable power. The light absorbed grants Tsuyo the ability to transform the physiology of his body into that of light. Consequently, this Magic allows him to both produce and control light from any part of his body, which can be used in both close and ranged combat. Tsuyo is able to utilize light-based attacks that range from shooting laser beams from his hands, fingers, or feet (capable of causing massive explosions), to partial transformations that enable high-speed physical attacks, all of them being very devastating; and he can drastically augment the strength and speed of his strikes. The shadows allow Tsuyo to transform his physiology into a shadow that cannot be touched by normal means. With this Magic, Tsuyo is also able to fade himself into shadows to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks; however, if he is caught while in a tangible form, or by another person in shadow form, he is then vulnerable to attack. The shadows are able to be utilized in several different ways, allowing for a high level of adaptability; the shadows are able to be released in freeform, as condensed, or even molded into the shape of a weapon, taking on the properties of said chosen shape. However, this ability places a heavy strain on the body, but despite this, Tsuyo can withstand the pressure. Tsuyo is also capable of merging this light and darkness together to form new qualities, even a mixed essence known as twilight which is capable of being used in both the ways of light and darkness, as well as producing 'stopping' effects, 'piercing effects', and the like; making this branch of Celestial Grace extremely versatile.

Requip: The Survivor
Requip: The Survivor (, Rekippu Za Sabaibā lit. Express Equipmentary Magic: Survival of the Fittest): Requip is a Holder Magic that allows the user to store items in a pocket dimension so they can easily summon it at any time, even during battle, which gives them a high level of flexibility in combat. It is said that the user summons the items from a pocket dimension; the notional place that things come from when they are needed, and where they go back to when not. The actual location of where they summon the items is very hard to determine. It contains only a few things, not because it is limited in capacity, but because that is all it is ever used for - for example, this is where the user normally summons the armour and their equipment; withdrawing things even during battle, which gives her a high level of flexibility in combat. However, there is a limit to how much the pocket dimension can store. Requip can be used for simple or for combat-related purposes; and the user may just choose to use it to change their clothing, capable of using it in the midst of battle. The user would often pull any items that they had collected out of nowhere and then they would just vanish without any physical means of transporting them. However, there is a limit to how much the pocket dimension can store.

The Survivor is a Subspecies Magic of Requip that is solely exclusive to Tsuyo. It is a unique existence as it integrates a Magic Skill, known as the Auto-Switch Ability (急器変技, Kyūkihengi lit. Sudden Equipment Change Skill) into its composition; this skill is what gives the magic its name—and what it does is quite special; when Tsuyo is in imminent danger, the armours switch immediately; it is correct each and every time. The reason for this is because each armour is imprinted with a specific magical seal that "rouzes" the armour to forcibly switch it out with the current one upon sensing the type of powers Tsuyo will need as well as the situation he is in; or rather, it is switched out according to what The Survivor believes is appropriate—making Requip: The Survivor one of the rare magics with its own free will of sorts. Essentially, it enables Tsuyo's Requip to automatically equip and change his armors depending on the situation that he is in, doing as the name implies, allowing him to survive. Tsuyo himself has several armours for many situations; but true to the magic's name, they only show themselves in the appropriate situation.

Despite all of these strengths, Requip: The Survivor has a singular glaring weakness; if the magic is transporting using another magical source that Tsuyo does not consciously allow would evidently make the number of armors influenced by this minimum, explaining the reason behind the limited number of armors; indeed, because of the auto-switch ability, Tsuyo is unable to retain as many magic armours as he would like within his pocket dimension—this, overall, balances out Requip: The Survivor, though it still remains extremely powerful. In addition, Tsuyo is unable to call upon the powers of each armour unless he is in a specific situation, as stated above, making this magic somewhat difficult to use, but amazing when mastered.

Creation and Concept
"Well, look how far we've come."

- The author reminiscing on the creation of Tsuyo.

The idea behind the creation of Tsuyo was spawned from reading through articles of Fairy Tail Fanon, specifically Tsuruko Sejren, Jason LaHote, and Vladimir Gideon—characters created by Perchan and Aha. After reading through said characters a multitude of times and even checking out the series they each hailed from, the author finally worked up the nerve to join the community and bring Tsuyo to life. Created under the name Tsuyo Kushibuki (強・騎士武器, Kishibuki Tsuyo) which meant "Strong Knight's Arsenal", it was originally decided by the author to use the Hero from Dragon Quest: Swords for the appearance. This was primarily due the the author being an avid fan of  as well as the fact he wanted someone who was similar to Vladimir in terms of appearance. From there, the author moved onto backstory and personality since they were practically the same thing. In terms of personality, Tsuyo's most noticeable characteristic was being a mute—being unable to speak due to an injury that damaged his. This tied into his backstory with Tsuyo being a member of an unnamed guild that was destroyed under orders from the. As a mute, Tsuyo did not have a way of communicating with others, making it hard to role-play with him. In order to work around this, the author decided to create Aogu, a creature that was meant to act as Tsuyo's companion and "voice". Going into his abilities, Tsuyo specialized in swordsmanship and even used Sword Magic in order to enhance his prowess in the way of the sword. He also used a plethora of s and s, which he stored via Requip, with their own unique effect—primarily revolving around Elemental Magic. It was this reason, along with his muteness, that the author gave him the moniker of the Silent Infinite Sword (無音無限刀, Muon Mugentō).
