Sonkei Lasanam

Sonkei Lasanam (尊系・ラザナム, Sonkei Razanamu lit. Exalted Lineage, Soul of Light) is a Mage that is regarded as one of the most powerful mages in history, being considered the Original Warrior of Light (原物の光兵, Genbutsu no Kōhei) due to his heroic acts when he was alive. He was known for his unique style of Sword Magic and eventually earned the moniker as the Scarlet Blade God (緋剣神, Hikenshin) as he displayed inhuman skill in swordsmanship, being able to decimate and demons with some difficulty. He eventually became the founder of the organization known as Tuatha Danann with its main goal being to keep peace within the world of Earth Land. He later sealed the immensely powerful demon Balor and his entire guild within ancient ruins, locking them away, using his sword as the key. After his death, Sonkei's magic did not return to its source as it instead traveled through the course of time, looking for a worthy vessel. It eventually found on in the form of Tsuyo Morduin, making him a Transmigrant (再来の外貨人 (トランスマイグラント), Toransumaiguranto lit. Reincarnation of Foreign Entity), a person that inherits the magic of a extremely powerful mage after said mage's death.

Even after his death, Sonkei was hailed as a powerful mage, being proclaimed as the Grand Master Wizard (無声英雄の武士道 (グランド・マスター・ヴィザード), Gurando Masuta Vuizādo lit. Silent Hero of the Samurai Code).

Appearance
Sonkei is a very tall and highly fit young man, possessing a slender build and a youthful, almost feminine facial features, something that makes him seen as an entirely different figure than what would be expected from the original Warrior of Light. Not only that but his appearance fits that of a young adult, making him look roughly forty years younger. Sonkei often has a cheerful demeanor, displaying a goof look or a simple smile on his face, until he dives into battle, in which he will abandon such attitude and will put on a mask of a serious and calculating opponent that is unafraid of that which stands in his way. He possesses mid-back length red hair that is tied in a ponytail. His hair is also thick and abundant, with all of the shorter frontal hairs falling across his face as bangs rather than being in the ponytail at the nape of his neck. When he was younger, he preferred o wear his ponytail higher, tying his hair tighter so that it wouldn't appear as loose as it currently does. His eyes are a sight to behold as they are an unusual deep violet. However when he is angered, his eyes will shift from brilliant violet to a hate-filled gold. Sonkei theorizes that the change of his eye color is due to his magic reacting to his shift in emotions, therefore effecting his eyes.

The most noticeable feature that Sonkei possesses is his unique cross-shaped scar. This scar actually consists of two separate scars--a long one running diagonally down his face from just below the outer corner of his left eye to just above his chin and a slightly shorter scar running diagonally across it in the other direction from just to the left of the bridge of his nose to his left jawbone. He acquired the first scar, the long one, in his first second with his brother, taking a magic-enhanced slash to the check. The second scar also came from his brother during their final battle against each other as Batsunan managed to slice him across the check in an attempt to stop him from completing the sealing process.

When it comes to clothing, Sonekei prefers to wear simple kimono, fitting for that of a samurai. His typical attire consisted of a burgandy-red kimono of worn cloth with a white umanori hakama, zori and white tabi. He would often alternate between this, a bolder red, purple and deep blue colored kimonos. His trusty sword Claíomh Solais is worn under his obi at his left hip in a black, steel saya. After making the decision to settle down with his wife, he eventually switched to a brown kimono and keep a sakabatō under his obi at his left hip, in a manner that is similar to how he keep Claíomh Solais.

Equipment
Claíomh Solais (浄光の天剣 (クラオーム・ソレース), Kuraōmu Sorēsu; Irish for "Shining Sword" and Japanese for "Heavenly Sword of Cleansing Light"): Claíomh Solais is a unique weapon that Sonkei had forged for his personal usage and was known as the "Sword of Justice" (正義の剣, Seiginoken) and the "Devil Slaying Sword of Radiance and Truth" (真相と輝きの滅悪刃, Shinsō to Kagayaki no Metsuakujin). Being forged by the famous blacksmith and later his own spouse Morrighan Dúwing, Claíomh Solais is a incredible craft as Morrighan has stated it is no longer a mere tool but a Sacred Treasure (神器, Jingi). What makes Claíomh Solais truly unique is the material that the blade is forged from. It is created using a material that is known as Diagaian (聖殺金 (ディアゲーアン), Diagēa lit. Holy-killing Metal), a special material that is used to create weapons that are incredible effective against demon, similar to Devil and Demon Slayer Magic, and provide an holy enhancement to any armor that is forged using the metal. This metal is commonly used by various churches in Earth Land to create Holy Swords and weapons. Either way, this allows Sonkei to become a nightmare for any demons that happen to face him, being able to fight against them effectively and in a fast manner. By channeling his magical power into his sword, he is capable of bathing his sword in a radiant light and makes the holy power of the metal enhanced even further. In Irish Mythology, is one of the  and the weapon of the.

Ways of Combat
Grandmaster Swordsmanship Specialist:
 * Sword Pressure (剣圧, Ken'atsu): A basic ability which can be learned by almost everyone and their mother, but it sure is deadly if utilized properly; it is the most basic techniques that one can perform with their sword. When performing the Sword Pressure technique, the user swings forward with their sword, swinging the blade so swiftly that it seems that the user is able to utilize air itself to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which the user launches at foes; sending it through the air towards the user's enemy. It is a powerful blade of pressure that appears as faint ripples of wind that is launched towards the foe at high speeds; this attack enables the user to assault things which are out of their sword's range, sending slashes which fly through the air itself; and can even remain floating in it until the right moment to slash. The person struck by the sword pressure is assaulted by countless invisible blades which happens so fast that they would normally be unable to properly react in time, carving up their body. Also, the strong wind power will blow away all incoming projectile weapons and will even make the opponent unable to stay on their feet; this technique possesses enough power to slice down many trees in a forest. This technique can deflect both physical and sound wave attacks and attack at the same time, making it both an offensive and defensive technique. These blades of wind possess incredible range and devastating power; and at its highest level of mastery, the sword pressure is capable of cutting through barriers of magical energy; and they can even remain floating within the air until the right minute to slash.

Magical Abilities
Incredible Magical Power:


 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気 Maryoku no Reiki; Literally meaning Aura of Magical Power): 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. 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. A standard aura is produced by mages with a moderate level of magical power within their body. By exerting it outward, it forms a thin layer of pressure that can cause one to be intimidated if they aren't a mage, or if they are a rather weak mage. This is generally demonstrated by individuals of S-Class strength when they are holding back, or when standard mages are showing that they are entering their full reserves of power. It should be noted that the density of this aura, by an S-Class mage, can cause physical attacks to be repelled with notable ease.
 * Transfer Method (移式, Utsushiki): The Transfer Method is a special ability that involves the manipulation of eternano—with it, the user is capable of condensing their eternano which has been focused to cast a spell or strengthen a target, and transfer it to another target; which is any being or object that they desire, granting them a decent support role. Doing so strengthens and augments the target of the user's choice, granting them the aspects and power of the condensed eternano; meaning that they can utilize the Transfer Method as a booster or a way to open up pathways to all new spells. The transfer is initiated by forming a thin line of eternano between the user and the target, sending the condensed eternano along the strands almost instantly as to reach their target immediately; however, it should be noted if the Transfer Method is utilized against a foe, the user can use the lines to swing their target around.

Magic in General
Assorted Magic (魔法 Mahō): Magic is the physical embodiment of the spirit. When the physical spirit of an organism connects with the spiritual flow of nature, the spirit forms Magic as a product of the connection. Only ten percent of the world's population is able to use Magic, which is noted to keep a balance between ordinary people and those with Magic. It takes an enormous amount of concentration and mental ability to use Magic.

 * Sealing Magic: Great Seal (結闇の巨封 (グレート・シール), Gurēto Shīru lit. Great Seal of Binding Darkness):

Sword Magic
Sword Magic (剣の魔法, Ken no Mahō): Sword Magic is a Holder Magic which, as the name itself suggests, is focused around the use of swords, with those weapons acting as mediums for the user to perform particular attacks. In order to use Sword Magic, the user starts by channeling eternano directly into a specially constructed magic blade that causes a chain reaction to the sword, having the blade alter its entire structure until it reaches an unstable form of metal and magic, allowing the person to manipulate it into a solid shape that can also engage the spell that the user sees fit to use. In some cases, when the person condenses the unstable structure, they often add their own elemental affinity magic, allowing for the user of elemental sword spells to be created through the effective means of the user. During the time after the sword spell is used, the eternano is immediately ejected from the blade, allowing the instability, the result from the eternano, to cease and transform the blade back to its normal shape. However, there are certain risks to using this magic as it takes much mental focus and incredible magic control in order to allow the blade to be altered in its solid shape, and to be controlled in its unstable form. When the user often attempts to make any spell, their hand is to remain on the hilt at all times, due to the fact that unless the eternano is controlled and is kept at a steady flow into the blade, the blade will simply revert back to its normal shape while the Eternano is simply ejected outward.

There are many moves that have been shown to be capable of going past the physical reach of the blade employed in their use, threatening foes at short-to-mid range. The user can focus their magic power into a sword to unleash powerful beams of energy to assault the opponent or use the beams to enhance the slashes and stabbing capabilities of the swordsman's weapon. They can even use their blade as a medium to create barrier similar to various other magics, simply defending themselves or preform an intricate counter. Some Sword Magic techniques seem to involve the use of elements commonly found employed by elemental forms of Magic, despite some users having no knowledge of using the parent Magic. It is possible to do this by replicating the process to utilize the standard elemental Magics and executing the process while the sword is still unstable. This does not just apply to elemental-based Magic as the user can potential replicate or infuse their sword with any Magic as long as it is compatible with the sword that the user wields, making this magic very versatile and can allow the user to adapt or be used in nearly any situation. In addition, Telekinesis is shown to be frequently employed alongside it, in order for the user to maneuvre several swords at the same time. A number of different blades can be employed for such Magic, with the most recurring ones being longswords and katana. In some cases, certain moves might even involve the change of the sword's properties, such as its length. <!-- The particular style of Sword Magic that Sonkei uses is known as True Sword Style (真刀流, Shintōryū). The True Sword Style is an extremely diverse form of combat, as suggested by the name of the style itself. It revolves around extending the user's swordsmanship, and therefore requires an immense amount of knowledge and skill in the art of swordsmanship in order to be executed properly in any combat situation.

The Flash Sword Style is an extremely dynamic form of combat, as suggested by the name of the style itself. It revolves around the concept of flash, and therefore primarily requires an enormous amount of speed and skill in order to initiate within any combat situation. While the general expression of one's Flash Sword Style is based on their own interpretation of the fighting style, at the core lies a single philosophy: "a flash is not born from a single light, but thousands strung together as bright as the sun." And truthfully, that is how the style functions. Rather than utilizing singular hits to create an enormous amount of damage, the user concentrates their efforts in the build up of damage over an extensive period of time. Therefore, they are able to cause their opponent's stamina to be winded down significantly, while also causing them to be in severe pain from the constant slashes that are placed upon them. The style almost appears sadistic when viewed by other individuals, in that the constant pain brought about through non-fatal slashes would normally be associated with a sociopath, rather ironic considering the noble intentions behind the style, that being to make opponents aware of the futility of their evil deeds.

The style's basis derives from the relatively common Iaidō and Battōjutsu forms of combat. It uses high-speed movements from the drawing of the blade in order to completely eviscerate an enemy's chance of victory. However, rather than being fatal in nature, it is used primarily as a means to deter the enemy from their decisions to engage in combat. This is achieved through the sadistic nature of the combat form, which in turn is supposed to cause a realization in the enemy that they are inevitably going to be overpowered regardless of what they do. In part with this derivation from Iaidō and Battōjutsu, anybody who utilizes this form of combat is generally attuned to the use of high-speed unsheathing and sheathing techniques. Their skills can extend to the point where it appears as if they are using the Style of the Undrawn Long Sword (抜かぬ太刀の型, Nukanu Tachi no Katana), albeit fundamentally different in its execution. -->
 * Crossroad of Many Swords (万剣の岐路, Manken no Kiro)

Celestial Grace
Celestial Grace (天恵の霊肉 (セレッシャル・グレース), Seressharu Gurēs lit. Heaven's Blessing of the Body and Soul) 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.
 * White Night Annihilation (白夜殲滅, Byakuya Senmetsu):
 * 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.
