Hogotsu Sezoku

Hogotsu Sezoku (保護つ・世俗, Hogotsu Sezoku lit. One Who Protects the Common People) is the deuteragonist of the series Fairy Tail: Seekers and an orphan boy who was a former thief, leaving within the hellish city of Divitia Bona. Being dropped off in the city at a young age, he was forced to live in the unforgiving world that was the city. Eventually after a series of events, he took up the mantle of a thief, earning his unique bounty name as the "King of Thieves: Robin Hood" (王賊・ロビン・フッド, Ōzoku: Robin Fuddo) due to the fact he would always wear a hood to conceal his identity from those that wished to harm him and those who were close to him as well as the fact he was able to break into nearly any place no matter how well secured it was. He eventually formed Novum Caesor — a team that was catered towards preforming various thefts and sometimes assassinations. However on the night of their greatest heist, the team was betrayed by their own member Karasu who sold out the location of Tenchi and resulted in his death. He then left the city of false riches to hunt down his former comrade and punish him for his villainous actions. As he searched for Karasu, he eventually came across Tsuyo and Kogu who were happening to looking into a similar source that he was and decided to team up with the team. As he fought alongside them, he eventually formed strong bonds with the two and eventually decided to stay with them as he searched for Karasu.

However later on in the series, during the Tales of the Gallant Protector which reveals the story of Hogotsu as he travels the world when Seekers go their own way to train, it is revealed that Hogotsu's family was actually alive and living in a secluded area within Earth Land that is known as Takamagahara Village. Born under the name Hogotsu Tenmajin (保護つ・天間真, Hogotsu Tenmajin lit. One Who Protects, Heavenly-Spanned Truth) as the youngest child of the current clan head, he was taken away by his mother after she witnessed her husband using his sword to kill her eldest son in cold blood, not hesitating the slightest. Fearing that he try to do the same to her other children, she decided to take Hogotsu to Divitia Bona in hopes of him having a better life, though she didn't do any research on the city. As Hogotsu travels through the world of Earth Land, he eventually earns the moniker as the Thundering Spirt of Tempestuous Bravery (荒勇の鳴神, Arayū no Narukami) due to his impressive usage of Lightning Magic that was said to be unheard of as well as his unique original magic — Imperial Embodiment which allows him to infuse his own magic with his body.

Appearance
Despite his origin as an orphan, Hogotsu looks surprisingly health for one that grew up in a city that was filled to the brim with corrupted nobles and military force. As a young man, Hogotsu is of average height which is surprisingly as most people would expect one with his background to be underdeveloped in the growth department and he possess lean build that is ideal for this line of work as he is very nimble and swift. As expected due to his profession, Hogotsu has a scar that are on his body, being etched into his pale skin: this scar is on his back, between the shoulder blades, in the shape of what appears to be a lightning bolt, though Hogotsu states it just zig-zags. He states that he has this scar for a long time and does not know how he got it, deeming it unimportant after awhile. The most interesting feature that Hogotsu possesses would be his brilliant white hair that reflects all light off it and is styled in a shaggy manner with a few strands of hair lying on his forehead. His eyes are a crystal blue that show his emotions to the fullest, changing from bright and happy to angry and resentful in a flash.

When it comes to certain clothing that he will wear, Hogotsu tends to prefer dark or light colored clothing, sometimes a mixture of both if he is able to do so. He seems to have many outfits, each one resembling a different countries' attire. His standard attire consists of a black colored shirt that is surprisingly tight on his lean frame. He also wears a pair of brown pants and a set of white sneakers as well as a white backpack that is connected to six straps, each one covering a section of Hogotsu's arms.

Upon revealing himself once more after the five years have passed, Hogotsu has significantly changed in appearance as he has evolved from a young boy into a handsome young man that is ready to take whatever comes him way head-on. It is noticeable that he looks like a younger version of his father as described by his siblings and was even mistaken for him when he was fighting against one of the generals in Fomorian. Due to undergoing intense training in the Ama no Iwato over the course of his time away from the team, Hogotsu's body has significantly changed as he is now taller than before, standing at the same height as Tsuyo when he and the team reunited. He still has a lean build that is fit for a swimmer or runner and his skin has gained more color, no longer being pale. His hair is now longer and spikier to the point of being compared to a porcupine as pointed out by Kogu. When it comes to clothing, Hogotsu now wears a complete different set of clothing, usually sporting an attire that is reminiscent of a different culture. He usually wears an outfit that seems like a very futuristic sleeveless with a large collar. This gi is primarily red and black in color though there is a white long strip that goes from the waist to the neck on both sides which divide both colorations, with the inside being red. His arms are covered in a long black gloves that stop at the elbows though right arm has various brown straps wrapped around it. He has a black belt around his waist and brown boots.

Personality
Initially, due to his upbringing, Hogotsu was a quiet and angst child, keeping to himself as he was unsure how to interact with those around him who were forced into a similar situation as him. He often stated he felt out of place among all his fellow orphans and homeless as though he did not belong with them, something that Hogotsu still feels at times to this very day. After witnessing some of his fellow people get killed as sport by the nobles and their military service, Hogotsu began to develop an unearthly amount of hatred for the aristocrats that controlled Divitiis Bona, seeing them as scum and the "true trash that litters the world". This eventually led Hogotsu to begin to think about liberation, rising from underneath the suppression of the nobles and taking what they truly deserved. This eventually led Hogotsu to becoming the thief that he is now known as today.

History
Hogotsu Sezoku was born as the youngest son of Mukaeru and Izanau Tenmajin. However a few months after he was born, his mother made the decision of taking him away from their home as his father was becoming noticeably crueler, striking down their oldest child without a single moment of hesitation. Fearing that he might kill their youngest in a fit of rage, she took him to the city known as Divitia Bona and placed him in a basket outside the estate of a rich family, hoping that he would safe from the husband incase he snapped. However instead of being taken in by the family within the estate, they simply left him out in the cold, unforgiving night to die without a care. Lucky an old homeless woman happened to pass by and seeing the event that transpired, picking him up and taking him with her to a place called Elisium, a hidden shelter for the poor and orphaned alike. Being raised there for most of life, Hogotsu was forced to life through the hardships like those around him. He was still able to push forward, not giving up on life. He lived for many years, surviving through all the trials that came his way. However it wasn’t until he was thirteen when Hogotsu was forced into a situation where everything changed for him.

There were rumors that were circulating about an underground colosseum where various beast fought against another and sometimes, people would fight against them, specifically the homeless. Upon hearing this, Hogotsu began to debate with himself on weather he should try and save them or not. Coming to a conclusion, he attempted to rally his fellow orphans to help him his mission. However, they were all afraid, fearing that they would be killed in the attempt to save those captured and Hogotsu left on his own, determined to save them all. Donning an old battered cloak to conceal his identity, Hogotsu went out into the night and after a few days, managed to find information about where and how to access where the captured homeless were at by listening on couple new guard members. Discovering that the entrance located within an abandoned gentlemen’s club that was guarded by several guard. He was able to distract the guards by tying and hanging an aristocrat from a lamppost. After entering and sneaking his way though the underground arena, Hogotsu was able to find all the people that were taken and freed them with a key that one of the guards accidentally left. After navigating them out of the place with mild difficulty, he took them all back to Elisium where they celebrated their safe return.

After this incident passed over, Hogotsu returned to his somewhat normal lifestyle of trying to survive, the only difference being that he was looked up to by his fellow orphans. However as the months went by, a food shortage began to occur as they would all die if they didn't acquire a steady income of food. One of the orphans suggested that Hogotsu should try and steal from the aristocrats as it was quickly remembered how he saved the others from certain death. Hesitant at first, Hogotsu eventually rose to the task when he realized what was at stake. Donning his old tattered cloak, Hogotsu took up the mantle of a thief, stealing from various aristocrats. It was to the point that he earned the moniker of “Robin Hood” as they could only identify him by the hood that he wore in the night. After preforming some thefts on his own, Hogotsu eventually realized that he couldn’t do this task by himself and asked his fellow orphans Tench and Genki if they could possibly help him in this dangerous job. They agreed and a few months later recruited another member into their team know as Karasu, thus making the group that struck fear into the hearts of many, Novum Caesor who would soar through the dark and steal from the corrupt.

Many years passed as at the age of 16, Hogotsu and his team rose to great infamy as they preformed a great number of thefts, stealing from a massive amount of aristocrats in the city that they lived in. However on the night of their biggest heist yet, a tragic incident occurred that forever changed him. The team was meant to break into the mansion of John Lionheart ,the current leader of Divitia Bona and steal a majority of his riches while he was hosting the largest party in the city as it celebrated the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the city. It took three months of planning ahead to get the team ready for the heist, to the point where it could be considered full-proof. Nothing could have gone wrong as long as they all sticked to the plan. When the party finally happened, they struck. During the middle of the heist however, it was revealed that Karasu the tactician of the group was a traitor as he sold out the location of Tenchi towards the Keepers for reasons unknown.

Angered at the betrayal of his former comrade and worried that his friend would possibly die, Hogotsu moved towards Tenchi’s location which he was able to find due to the large explosion that was caused by the fight that sparked. Meeting up with Genki as he moved to Tenchi’s location, he was shocked to see that they were too late as their friend had multiple stab wounds in vital areas and even said himself that he would most likely die even if they were able to find someone to heal him. However that was not all as Karasu stepped out of the shadows, mocking his former team and driving the point home by saying their old motto, leaving afterwards. Snapping out of their shock as Tenchi screamed at them to go as more and more guards were heading towards their location in an attempt to finish off whoever was still located in the area. Leaving with celerity, they could only watch the large explosion that occurred as Tenchi scarified himself to kill the incoming guards and protect them. After a month of depression, Hogotsu was able to go back to his old self and left Divitia Bona, leaving Genki in charge of taking care of the orphans. He was heading out to find Karasu and avenge his friend.

Equipment
Ama no Habakiri (天羽々斬, Heavenly Wing Slash): Ama no Habakiri is a unique weapon and heirloom that is passed down within the Tenmajin Clan, being given to whoever the current clan head is at the time. Commonly known within the clan as the "Divine Blade of the True Successor" (真後嗣の神刃, Makōshi no Kamujin), Ama no Habakiri takes the shape of a standard Japanese sword specifically the (刀, single-edged sword). The katana has a black tuska ito (柄糸, handle thread) weave with a silver ornate same that is underneath that cord, and a bronze kashira (頭, head). The (鍔, guard on a sword, pole arm, ect.) is black with no light being reflected off of it, being said to be similar to a starless night, and has a standard steel blade that is exactly 60 cm or 23.5 inches in length which is the maximum length for this sword to be considered a katana at all. The scabbard that the blade is kept in is dark blue and has a bronze tip that matches the kasher. Regarding its appearance, this blade is a brilliant masterpiece, made with the intention of being held and used by the hands of a worthy clan head. However, this sword is not only stunning but deadly as well. This sword, despite seemingly being made of standard steel, is actually laced with Mithril, a unique form of metal that makes when used to forge materials such as weapon and armor makes said item nigh-indestductble. Not only that but sword is also absurdly sharp to the point where used in the hands of a capable sword master, they have the potential to slice through several layers of titanium with little effort. However, Ama no Habakiri's greatest ability lies within its unique power to draw and absorb the Eternano that is in the air circulating around it and proceed to use it in a limited form of Eternano Manipulation. The wielder of this sword is capable of using the eternano that they absorb through their blade to amplify certain spells that are dependent on the usage of a sword. Primary examples being Sword Magic spells and certain Caster Magic spells, specifically those that are aimed towards elemental aspects as well as energy. Overall, this swords is a tool of a warrior that should be used with the upmost skill and care.

Outside of this blade's wondrous appearance and abilities, Ama no Habakiri has a significant backstory behind its creation. The origin of the blade stems back to the founding clan head of the Tenmajin Clan who recorded in their clan history as the All-Father of the Originating Hub (天御中主, Amenominakanushi)

Ways of Combat
 Master Hand to Hand Combatant: Hogotsu is the prime example of a person that has learned to fight through experience and that alone; something that is quite remarkable. Hogotsu is able to deliver powerful punches and devastating kick, which when coupled with his other physical attributes, especially his speed, Hogotsu becomes a literal storm, that is unable to be stopped. When Hogotsu first started out with hand to hand combat, he started out with using a Brawler Style, which was rather ineffective for his body size. As time progressed and he became more experienced, he developed his own way of fighting, which he has named Raigō Kyakuaya (雷轟足速, Roaring Thunder Leg Gear), rather proper in his eyes. When fighting under this style, Hogotsu makes use of his greatest assets that he possess; his speed and reflexes. Hogotsu makes sure to utilize his speed to maneuver across the battlefield and confuse his opponent, allowing him to surprise them in different ways. However this varies for different opponents as seen when Hogotsu is facing a person that is superior to him in speed, he will generally use the environment to his advantage, showing that he can adapt to situation after a certain period of time. When it comes to being on the offensive, Hogotsu will generally attack with fast yet powerful strikes, mostly using his feet to deliver his attacks. He is able to chain attacks with fluid motion, switching from preforming one maneuver to another, which he can use to confuse opponent as he can preform fake-outs to trick his opponents. When going up against people that are much larger than he is, which is very recurring for Hogotsu, he will attack in one area. By doing this, he cause a great amount of damage to that single area, which can cause internal damage to the opponent. Hogotsu is also able to use his Magic in conjunction with his fighting style, which makes it increase the strength behind the attacks. The attacks that Hogotsu deals when he empowers his attacks with lightning causing them to cause to paralyze the opponent with his strikes.
 * Spellblade ( 魔法煎剣(スペルブレード) , Superuburēdo lit. Magic Infusion Sword): Spellblade is a specialized Subspecies Magic of Sword Magic which is easy to perform for almost any Sword Magic user with any experience; Spellblade is a powerful hybrid technique combining both sword skills and magic. When initiating this style of combat, the user infuses their raw magical power within their blade, giving it elemental properties, in addition to unrestrained cutting power. It was originally designed as a magic technique which creates an exceedingly thin layer of eternano capable of cutting through almost anything. The eternano can easily be switched to their spells, ensuring the cutting power remains; but also allowing the user to utilize their own individual style. When the user's blade is infused with their raw magical power, it replaces the hard, metal blade of the sword with a blade of light, similar to a laser. When Spellblade is in effect, it turns the user's attack into a power on the physical and magical side. This makes it incredibly useful for fighting demons, who do not have physical bodies and therefore can only be hurt with magic. It can also be used against foes whose magic bodies are sealed off or missing, and thus are immune to most magic. The Spellblade is powerful enough to destroy lesser demons in a single blow if the wielder can manage to hit them. Even middle-ranking demons can be seriously wounded or killed by this attack. High-ranking demons such as the Primordial Demons, however, often display near immunity to the weapon's power, requiring more powerful techniques to kill.
 * Spellblade: Spark Edge (魔法煎剣・雷迅刀 (スペルブレード・スパーク・エッジ), Superuburēdo: Supāku Ejji lit. Magic Infusion Sword: Thunder Swift Blade): The Thunderblade is a powerful Spellblade spell which is born from merging Lightning Magic into the Spellblade, that leaves the user capable of storing the electrical energy of a lightning strike within their sword, using the power of lightning to their advantage. Thanks to the positive energy of lightning, the element is attracted to the negative energy that is emitted by the metal of the blade; as iron, like most metals, consists in the solid phase of a lattice of atoms that are bound together with a "cloud" of freely moving electrons in what is called the conduction energy band. The free moving electrons conduct electricity. When even the smallest voltage, or energy drop, across copper is applied, the electrons simply pass through the iron with very little resistance. In essence, the lack of electrical resistance is what allows the iron to conduct the lightning; and any conductor of electricity must provide some way for charge to move, thus it requires mobility of an electrical charge, such as an electron. Thunderblade makes the user's sword nearly unblockable as the radiating blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, if an opponent is stabbed, their body goes numb due to an electrical current which causes the muscles to contract, making it impossible for the opponent to move. It also has the advantage of being able to be used for surprise attacks and capturing; additionally, when the enemy's body is pierced, the user can alter the sword's shape into multiple additional blades, increasing the number of wounds. The high discharges of lightning are capable of paralyzing the opponent instantly and it is nearly unblockable as the radiating blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, if an opponent is stabbed, their body goes numb due to an electrical current which causes the muscles to contract, making it impossible for the opponent to move.
 * Spark Edge: 
 * Hyakuretsukyaku (百裂脚, Hundred Rending Kick):
 * Blazer Shining Burst (嵐脚の花炎 (ブレザー・シャイニング・バースト), Burezā Shainingu Bāsuto lit. Blooming Flame of the Storm Leg): Blazer Shining Burst is a Hogotsu's secret technique, only to be used when he is left with no option. This technique was created as a memento towards a old friend that he lost, serving as a reminder for him to become stronger and never lose anyone ever again. When preforming the Blazer Shining Burst technique, Hogotsu will begin by focusing a significant amount of magical energy around one of his legs and will use Shape Manipulation to coat his leg in a armor-like barrier. Hogotsu will then begin to spin on the same leg that he coated with his magic, going faster and faster—causing the friction that is being built-up to react with the magical energy until the point where his leg will burst into brilliant flames, engulfing his foot with the appendage unleashing fire of incredible heat as though it is fueled with the memories of his old friend and the anger that he feels towards himself for being so weak. By using this technique, Hogotsu is able to kick with even more force than he previously did, being able to tear down a wall with little effort. Not only that but the flames that are produced by this technique are hit enough to melt iron, meaning that these flames are on par with that of a Fire Dragon Slayer's flames, leaving his opponent with second-degree burns in the process of being hit with the attack. This technique is based on Diable Jambe from One Piece.
 * Hyakkakyaku (百火脚, Hundred Blazing Kicks):

Physical Prowess
Remarkable Strength: Despite what many would think regarding Hogotsu and his small stature, he possess strength beyond what people would expect. Hogotsu's strength is one of the key factors to both his profession and fighting style. He utilize his strength in his thieving in multiple ways; he can carry multiple items of great weight without causing any strain on his body, something that would leave any normal person crushed. He can also use his strength to break down metal door, knocking them down with a well paced kick, and is even shatter handcuffs, simply pulling them apart forcing them to snap as though they are simple toys. When simply using his hands, Hogotsu is able to catch and stop weapons, not moving due to the force; showing that he is stronger. He has even caught been shown to catch a large battle hammer without as much as a grunt. When employed into his fighting style, Hogotsu becomes a force to be reckoned with. He can unleash incredible force when he is using fists, unleashing shockwaves behind his pushes. However, Hogotsu's true strength is stored within his legs. The strength of his legs is something that could be considered monstrous; making even the strength of his punches pale in comparison. He is able to deal devastating kicks, which are able to destroy boulders and cause small craters to form from the force. He can even use his impressive leg strength to preform great jumps and leaps, being able to clear gaps and catch up with his opponent that fly through the sky.

Impressive Speed: Regarding in speed, Hogotsu is best known for his tremendous speed. By using his incredible strength, Hogotsu is able to move at remarkable speeds, closing gaps between him and his opponents within seconds and has been said to be disappearing and reappearing around the battlefield. Hogotsu's speed is further enhanced by his agility, as he can maneuver around his opponents; confusing them until he can strike when they allow an opening to appear. This is something that Hogotsu can use when faced with multiple opponents, as he can simply maneuver his way around the field, taking out each of his opponents quickly or when up against slower opponents, as he can move at such speeds, that he renders them confused and can then unleash a devastating strike. The speed of his attacks are best described as "a blur of endless power". Hogotsu is able to unleash ten kicks in quick succession, dealing damage to the same area, adding extra damage to the area. Hogotsu can also use his speed in coherence with his strength; allowing for shocking results to be brought out. Hogotsu can use his speed to further enhance the power behind his punches and kicks; using momentum to help build up, he can further increase his already mind-blowing attacks and unleash powerful kicks and punches. He can also use his momentum to add more of a boost to his jumping ability, allowing him to add more distant to his jumps. Incredible Endurance and Pain Tolerance: When comes to endurance, Hogotsu is quite remarkable; being able to withstand an onslaught of attacks. Hogotsu's endurance has been seen in multiple situations. He has been shown to have be sent through buildings and taking a great amount strikes to his body without a leaving a single bruise. Such a thing has left others baffled at how such a young boy is able to shrug off multiple attacks, remarking them as simple love taps. This makes Hogotsu somewhat of a juggernaut, being able to withstand a great amount of attacks. The reason he is able to do so is actually tied into his previous occupation. There had been times when Hogotsu had been jailed and the Keepers often ruffed him up, taking shots at him one at a time. This actually, unknowingly at the time, allowed Hogotsu to build up his endurance that he has to this very day. He is able to recover at an astonishing rate, making him a very hard opponent. Another thing that Hogotsu has alongside his endurance is his high pain tolerance. Similar to his endurance, this was built-up though being Keeper, however this was through torture. Often going to extreme measure to find out where the other orphans and other unfortunate were hiding, they would torture him for days on end. This allowed him to develop a high pain tolerance which has proven to be incredibly useful in battle, especially when fighting up against a person that can give him some trouble. He is able to simply ignore the pain and go on, making some consider him as a "unkillable foe". He does have a limit as like most people regarding this area. What his limit is still unknown but it is assured that Hogotsu often has a way to adapt to the situation when the time comes for it.
 * Phenomenal Reflexes: However, speed is no good with being able to react fast enough and Hogotsu has shown to be a great example when it comes to doing such a thing. He is synchronized when it comes to sensing, being able to react within seconds; he has been seen to simply weave his ways through bullets and other projectiles without a moment's hesitation and even was able to catch and throw a knife back at the person. He has been shown to preform acrobatic feats, such as backflips, somersaults, and even bending at near-impossible degrees which are made easy for him due to his small and thin body size, to dodge his opponents attacks, making it a game to see how he can maneuver his way around it. Hogotsu also has a very high perception, to which he has dubbed it his sixth sense. He is able to notice certain things around him, even it it is unconsciously, which he uses greatly with his reflexes when he is being attacked by people that specialize in areas of stealth or use magic that create illusions.
 * HogotsuAgility.gifMagnificent Acrobatic Skills: Hogotsu is quite nimble and flexible, being able to preform a multitude of acrobatics. Coupled with his speed and reflexes, Hogotsu is a hard person to fight. He is a capable free runner, being able to navigate his way across the roofs of Divitiis Bona. He was capable of outrunning members of the Custodem, the city's "peacekeepers", even in crowded areas, moving his way through areas with ease as he preformed flips and other tricks that helped him lose said group with no trouble. He is able to twist, turn and bend his body in different angles to allow himself the ability to dodge and then counterattack with no trouble. He has been shown in multiple occasions that he is able to outmaneuver large crowds of soldiers, being able to maneuver himself in a way that will leave him with the advantage, no matter what the situation is, and take care each one of them down effortlessly. A great example of how acrobatic Hogotsu is when he was fight against a Mage that used Fire Magic, he was able to preform a series of backflips, dodging the blazing projectiles before launching himself into the air and landing on a pillar, which he used as a springboard to dodge another bullet of flames.

Assorted Attributes
Great Adaptability: Being able to adapt is something good for a fighter to pick up on and this is such a skill that Hogotsu has managed to acquire over the course of his life. This unique skill allows Hogotsu to be able to adapt to whenever he enter a new situation. This is extremely useful especially when Hogotsu is within the midst of a battle. This essentially allow Hogotsu to adapt to his opponent and discover ways to fight and defeat them. This can also be applied when Hogotsu is within a new area, as he can adapt and discover a new way to maneuver throughout the area. This is generally used when Hogotsu is escaping from pursers and need to lose them quickly or when he is fighting in a new environment and need to figure out a way to use his surroundings to his advantage. He has also gained a unique ability from his adaptability, which is the ability to convert spell into his own. After being hit or seeing a spell enough times, depending the complexity, Hogotsu is to interpret what makes a spell work, although this does not always work as when it comes to a hidden effect in a spell or something similar he is not able to recreate it. Also, he can only actually do this with a spell that uses his element of Magic or has similar properties that can be applied to said magic. Anything else in nearly impossible for him to integrate into a Lightning Magic spell. The fact that Hogotsu is able to recreate per say another person's spell actually work towards his title as a thief in a comical manner.

Magical Abilities
Enormous Magical Power: Out of the many different forms of magics awakened by many different mages, one of the most unusual user's would have to be Hogotsu. It has not yet been determined why, but when first awakened, Hogotsu's magic had an opposite effect on him, resulting in his body slowly staying the same shape due to the unusual magic signature that is in his body. It's because of this unusual magic signature that his body stops the natural replication of cells, which leads to him not growing out physically, only mentally. Despite the current body he has, his magic is known to be one of the most fierce by far, due to the unusual signature, the use of his Eternano is that of an S-class Mage, allowing him to do incredible feats. When unleashing his Magical Power, it will take the form of an white aura that surrounds his entire body, often being decried as a blanket of warmth yet anger. Interestingly due to the small size of his body, Hogotsu is unable to unleash the full potential that his magical power. This was noted by Tsuyo as he stated that his own body was restricting him, as to make sure that he does not hurt himself. Magic originates from a Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), which is exactly what the wording indicates—it is 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. Every Mage has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power; this is precisely what a Magic Origin is. If the case becomes empty, eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the Mage's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored
 * 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.

Lightning Magic
Lightning Magic (雷系各種魔法, Kaminari Kei Kakushu Mahō lit. Various Lightning Magic): Lightning Magic is a Caster Magic that relies on the use of lightning and electricity. Users of such Magic can create these elements from their bodies and manipulate themIn order to manifest Lightning Magic, the user is able to modify their eternano and magical energy into that of electrons, which she can alter the movement of, allowing them to use almost any electricity based power; controlling, generating, and absorbing electric fields; utilizing electricity, but more specifically, lightning, as a form of offense and defense. The user is able to generate these elements from their body, and manipulate them, giving them the ability to channel and manipulate electricity through their body. However, unlike other types of Elemental Magic, users of Lightning Magic are also capable of utilizing lightning from a distance, such as from the ground near them, or down from the sky. Lightning attacks work by electrocuting the opponents to various degrees, and there are spells that are said to be capable of completely paralyzing enemies, due to the extremely high voltage of the electricity employed in their use. Because of the high amounts of light produced with its use, Lightning Magic can also be utilized to blind opponents, albeit for a short amount of time.

By generating electricity on different parts of their body, the user is capable of causing their attacks in melee to become far deadlier; even capable of propelling themselves around at high speeds in order to gain extra momentum; as the user can create lightning orbs around their arms and legs before connecting punches and kicks, increasing their striking power in a way similar to most other elemental mages, allowing them move around much faster, propelling themselves towards their opponents, by surrounding their entire body with lightning, and empowering their connecting strikes by summoning forth lightning from the sky to accompany their motions. In addition to these properties, the bright light from the lightning can be also used to momentarily blind enemies. Similar to other types of Elemental Magic, Lightning Magic allows the user to transform their body into the element they control: by transforming into a lightning bolt, the user is able to avoid physical attacks, and have the added advantage of traveling around at very high speeds and damaging everyone or everything they come in contact with, much like real lightning. This is a very powerful Elemental Magic, having many avenues for usage. It can also be inserted into Magical Lacrima crystals, as seen with Laxus Dreyar's spell.

Interestingly, there has been a new discovery in how to manifest Lightning Magic by the same scientists that discovered the new way to utilize Light Magic, the artificial light of might. It is said that this way of using Lightning Magic is incredibly dangerous as it has a great risk of hurting the user's own body, especially their nervous system, and can even result in death. Nevertheless, to utilize this form of Lightning Magic, the user will amplify the bio-eclectic currents that exist within all aspects of their body, primarily in the nervous system, heart and muscles, to the point that they will force electricity to manifest around their very being and is fueled by their body and magic. By doing this, they are able to channel what has now been named bio-electricity (生体電気, Seitai Denki) in various ways: unleashing burst of bio-electricity that can fry a person from the inside-out and even being able to drain the bio-electical energies that may dwell within another being, in a way that is similar to Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. The user is also able to form constructs out of the bio-electricity drained or stored, find persons by sensing their bioelectrical presence and even scramble personal bio-electric rhythms to shock others. This method of Lightning Magic is best reserved for master of said magic as they have the understanding to fully performing and using this method to its maximum potential.

Hogotsu has learned, or more so discovered, that he has a affinity to use Lightning Magic, officially discovering it when he was on one of his many midnight heist. He had accidentally used it to kill one of the patrolling Keepers that had spotted him. Since then, Hogotsu has practiced and practiced to the point he is able to use Lightning Magic as though it is a muscle or similar. He considers himself a expert user regarding this magic, as he has boosted and often proven that he knows a great deal about using lightning. He uses this magic in a great combination with his own fighting style, enhancing his punches and kick, which cause paralyzation to those that are hit enough times. He is able to use Lightning Magic in different ways, ranging from changing the shape and solidness of the lighting, which makes it resemble that of Lightning-Make, to even changing the charge of the lighting, where he can repulse deadly objects that are heading his way. Hogotsu is able to manipulate his lightning to where it can run through objects, which then will shock whoever is hold or near said object, causing paralyzation to occur within the opponent.


 * Byakuraishō (白雷掌, White Lightning Palm): A rather unique but simple spell that Hogotsu is in possession of. To begin this spell, Hogotsu will focus eternano and his own magical energy around the palm of his hand, making sure to condense it, and will go through the process of manifesting Lightning Magic, converting it into electrons which as a result cause his hand to be enveloped in lightning; specifically, white lightning. This is due to the result of Hogotsu condensing his eternano and magical energy as when they are converted into electrons, they are so grouped together that it turns into white lightning the instant it is formed. When Hogotsu places his palm onto his chosen target, they will be shocked with approximately 100,000 amps of lightning. This is nearly the exact same amount of amps that is within an actual bolt of lightning, making this spell extreme dangerous, if used on a unsuspecting opponent. Hogotsu can also use this spell to run a electric current through a object, usually metal, and shock whoever his near or holding onto said object, while at the same time causing paralyzation to occur from too much lightning entering the body.
 * LevinHammer.pngVolt Hammer (猛獣躍進 (ボルト・ハンマー), Boruto Hanmā lit. Raging Beast Onslaught): Volt Hammer is Hogotsu's signature and most unique spell within his arsenal. To preform this spell, Hogotsu will begin to slowly draw in Eternano from around the area, as well as from within his own body, bringing it all together into a sphere that fits directly into the palm of his hands. The next step within this spell is that Hogotsu must draw on both positive and negative energies, which will slowly be drawn into the orb by modulating the wavelength to mimic both frequency's at the same time, and allowing both energies to be absorbed into the orb as where they will collide inside, clashing together to create electricity that embodies the orb. When shot at, the energy collected inside of the orb will result in a powerful explosive attack, dealing incredible damage to anyone and anything that is caught in the electric feedback, and put everyone within the range in paralysis. However, while the spell is considered a very powerful and very destructive, there is a certain time it takes to fully charge and fully cultivate enough energy from both sides to allow for a proper ratio of both energies to be combined properly. Not only that, but the force needed to be able to be shot at can often at times deal damage the user's arms, resulting in them almost being torn or broken from the full force of the throw.
 * Hogotsu_Magnetic_Domain.jpgMagnetic Domain (磁区, Jiku): Magnetic Domain is a rather strange Lightning Magic spell that Hogotsu does not generally use that often but still keeps it around due to the possibility it might be useful. This spell allow Hogotsu to use the magnetism ability that most people over look when it comes to Lightning Magic; in a way resembling that of Telekinesis. To preform this spell, Hogotsu will convert the eternano around him around him into electrons, creating an electric field around him. With this field, Hogotsu is able to manipulate objects that come within the vicinity of the field around him. He is able to manipulate object to where they are attracted towards him, allowing him to catch the said object or he can make the object is being repealed and can redirect the trajectory of the object back at where it came from, allowing him to shock the opponent when they are stricken with their own weapon or anything similar for that matter. However one thing to notice is that Hogotsu is only able to manipulate metallic objects that come within his range of field, objects or weapons that are made of or covered in material that is not a great conductor for electricity are unable to be manipulated, and even then Hogotsu has a limit to what he is able to manipulate. He is only able to manipulate at objects that weighs exactly or less than 250 pounds. Another thing to note is that Hogotsu is only able to manipulate whatever is within range of his field, which is approximately 300 feet; anything outside is beyond his control.
 * Raika Hōken (雷華崩拳, Crushing Fist of Majestic Lightning): An incredibly powerful spell, which Hogotsu learned from Kiso, that shows a piercing effect to the opponent whenever the user lands their hit on them, making it very destructive to the Hogotsu's body, and often at times damaging them the more the spell lasts. To use it, the user charges what they describe as "concentrated explosions" into one single arm, causing the magical pressure around them to get heavier and heavier, the most a user can have in terms of those explosions is up to eight individual impacts. When Hogotsu punches or makes contact with anything in particular, the kinetic energy is transferred to the opponent, causing the explosions inside of the arm to release into a single concentrated line as one after another, the impact doubles it's strength, and combines into 7 explosive impacts that go throughout the opponent's body. Despite the great potential in this spell, there are certain risks to using this magic. The first is the amount of time needed to charge up, the more number of implosive explosions, the more the Hogotsu needs to charge his lightning magic in order to create them. It is also seen that due to the original shape of the arm, Hogotsu isn't able to attack in any other form other than a straight line, making it difficult to hit an opponent who has incredible fast movements.

Imperial Embodiment
Imperial Embodiment (帝国・実施, Teikoku Jisshi): Imperial Embodiment is a unique form of Magic that Hogotsu created. When this magic was first revealed, people had thought that the magic belonged to ancient civilization of magic users, who discovered a way to freely manipulate the magic within their bodies with ease, amplifying their bodies with their choice of Magic. This theory was soon proven wrong as Hogotsu had created this magic, basing it off of the Earth Land equivalent of Dragon Ball Z. This magic as stated before is meant to enhance specific physical attributes of a single person with a type of Caster Magic. The attributes that are amplified all depend on the magic that is used, as the person would gain the properties of the magic. However, it is noted that only Elemental Magic is capable of being harnessed along with Imperial Embodiment.

In order to harness the power of Imperial Embodiment, after casting any elemental spell, the user suddenly and briefly voids their magical container, which was popularized when a certain Fire Dragon Slayer performed it against a rather irksome Flame God Slayer on Tenrou Island—emptying it as to allow the user to properly accept the sudden surge of elemental energy without any risks. Once this is done, they can safely accept the oncoming elemental magic; drawing it into their body, before flaring up their magical aura once more—the sudden return of their magical aura allows them to safely take in the magic; and use precise control of their magical aura in order to spread it within various limbs; essentially their whole body and use their magical origin to prevent it from harming them from the inside. This provokes an extraordinary change, cloaking them (most of the time) in the element of their choice; granting them enhanced speed and power, along with the ability to cast brand-new spells.

A primary example of this would be when Hogotsu uses his Lightning Magic while using Imperial Embodiment. Hogotsu, after going through the procedure, would gain enhanced speed and reflexes. As an added bonus, Hogotsu's melee strikes would also cause shock damage to whoever he hits. Not only that but by doing this, he become the element in question, using all of its abilities as if it was part of their own body. However, physical enhancement and magic personification aren't the only limit regarding Imperial Embodiment. The users are also able to access a new set of spells that before may have seemed impossible. Another thing to note is that depending on the form that one enters, their physical appearance will change. An example would be a person that uses Darkness Magic would enter the first form of Imperial Embodiment. Their hair might change to either black or the secondary color of their Darkness Magic and they also might have a slightly blackened skin tone. This physical changes range depending on the form that the user is in and each is different for another person.

Although there are many positives to Imperial Embodiment, that does not mean there are not any risks. The risk behind this, however, is that they can be harmed by the element that counters the one they are currently using. The exception is that if the amount of magic used to induce the effects of the Imperial Embodiment and what stage of the spell they're in. If they are in the Ultimate Form of the spell and used a lot of magic to power it, then they can't be harmed by the element opposite to their own. Also, it's important to know that mastering the flow of magic in your own body is a general factor to use it. If one attempts to use the spell and has not yet mastered the flow of magic in their own body, not only will it not work, but it will potentially backfire as a result and in most cases, severely damage or even kill the user, depending on which stage they want to enter.

As the creator of this dangerously powerful Magic, Hogotsu is quite profound in using this magic. Considered as his "ace in the hole", Hogotsu will only use this magic whenever he is fighting against a person that has pushed him to his greatest limit, when he has been angered to his breaking point or when he simply wishes to show of. As time went on, Hogotsu began to improve his Imperial Embodiment, discovering the full potential behind the magic. He is known for becoming a master in this magic, with his knowledge of Lightning Magic to the fullest within Imperial Embodiment, to which he dubbed his Imperial Embodiment as Imperial Lightning Mode (天雷モード, Tenrai Mōdo), drawing attention to the fact the he uses Lightning Magic to access all of these forms.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, Hogotsu's favorite food seems to be fish and chips.
 * Hogotsu's normal theme is Simple and Clean (Rock Remix)and his battle theme is Developments by Hands Like Houses.
 * Hogotsu's appearance is based on Killua Zoldyck from the series Hunter X Hunter and Souichiro Hinamura from the series Kami-sama no Memo-cho.
 * Hogotsu's name was actually created by pure experimenting with kanji after Perchan taught the author how kanji works and how some kanji can mean the same as two different kanji. The author was originally trying to get a name that means "He Who Guards the Universe". However, the kanji that the author used caused the name to be too long and, as such, he began to try alternative kanji. Eventually, while working, he accidentally used the kanji for One and thus, the name Hogotsu was created.
 * His adopted surname was created with the intention of having a double meaning on the other hand as the author though it would be cleaver if the meant to different thing. While usually his last name means Common People (瀬賊, Sezoku), if one uses the correct kanji it is possible to make it mean Swift Thief (瀬賊, Sezoku) which signifies Hogotsu's profession and his best physical attribute.
 * Hogotsu's status are:
