Veldora Tempest

Veldora Tempest (ドラゴンテンペスト Veldora Tenpesuto) otherwise known as the Silent Storm (静粛ストーム Hissori no Arashi) but most commonly referred to as just plain old Veld, is a  and the protagonist of Fairy Tail: Eternal Dreams.

Hailing from Evergrande, Veldora comes from a noble background due to the fact that he is from the Vallenstein Family but also carries the blood of the hardended warrior race; the Vexxen Tribe. Being the son of both Artemis S. Tempest and Seraphina Vallenstein, Veldora was groomed and nutured into becoming both a powerful magician and warrior since birth. The pressure of having such expectations thrust upon him were too much for the young boy and he attempted to run away from his duties but was brought back by his older sister, Benehime Vallenstein who loathed her talented brother at first but grew to cherish him. The bond between the family was slowly beginning to repair itself but unfortunately, it would be shattered forever as a result of Veldora's parents being killed during the war between the Barbaros Federation and the Coroza Empire, along with the whereabouts of his sister being unknown.

Fleeing from his homeland and being seperated from his sister, who was the last remaining relative he had, Veldora was found and taken in by his former mentor and guilder master, Jean Rogue and joined the former Dark Guild, Utopia. However, the cycle of tragedy would repeat itself again and Veldora would lose his older brother figure and close friend Jean to the Coroza Empire and escaped to an unfamiliar land where he met the mysterious young girl, Stella Lancelot.

Alongside Blow, Veldora and his two new allies have become travelling companions and Veldora now searches for a way to roam free in Jiolia and sees the world's current state for himself.

Appearance
Veld takes on the appearance of a slim young man that stands at a height of 5’6 (which translates to about 169 centimeters). He has light brown hair that is combined with clear amber eyes that give him an overall generic look but anyone who's met Veld can attest that he is far from what most people perceive as "normal". Being barely old enough to be identified as a teenager, many people often comment on Veld's youthful appearance and how if you weren't told beforehand, wouldn't be questioned if the boy was of the female gender. The misunderstanding can obviously be attributed to the boy's slim figure that doesn't match the remarkable strength behind it along with his beautiful smile that has left others stunned by its radiance. He is fair skinned and has soft peachy skin that matches well with his tangerine eyes and brown hair. Despite Veld's scrawny appearance, he is in possession of a firmly toned frame that is only visible when he wears tight clothing. No doubt thanks to the training he recieved when he was just a mere boy, Veld's overall physique is in quite good shape and he continuously trains on a regular basis to maintain it, even if it is bothersome (according to Veld himself).

His usual outfit consists of a loose white jacket that is almost always open, leaving his torso (including his chest and stomach) exposed for view. Down below, he matches the jacket with a pair of dark green pants and light brown sandals, since according to Veld, wearing shoes are a pain since they're difficult to put on at times. To maximize his comfort, Veld had his pants tailored to add large mufflers right at the bottom so his shin's could breathe easy whenever he runs.

An accessory that many immediately identify Veld with are the orange headphones he wears on his head (and sometimes around his neck). The whereabouts of such a device are still unknown but they are incredibly precious to Veld and he treasures them by making sure they're always in good condition after a battle.

Veld is alway seen in the company of his katana that has a black sheath and red hilt. The blade itself is pure silver and was made from a rare material only found in Evergrande. It was passed down to him from his father, Artemis who taught the boy swordsmanship.

Personality
Easy going, carefree, and down to earth; these are just a few of the many listing personality quirks that can be attributed to this roller coaster of a boy. Veld, who prefers to be just called that as opposed to his full name that he finds unpleasantly formal is a laid back boy who has a simple yet ambitious dream he chases after. What Veld chases after is simply freedom, nothing more and nothing less. He strives to set out into the world and follow whatever path life takes him, whether it be good or bad. He doesn't want to live a life that other people lay out before him and desperately does anything he can to make sure he can live life the way he wants too, not bonded to someone's amusement.

He doesn't sweat the small stuff and it takes an almost unfathomable amount of grief to anger him. It goes in tune with his easy going life style and Veld is for all intent and purposes a pacifist, choosing to resolve problems with words as opposed to violence. He shares this trait with Stella who is also a pacifist but the major distinction between the two is that while Stella refused to lay a hand on anyone under any circumstance, Veldora can and will crush those who leave him no choice but to retaliate. Violence may not be his immediate answer but it sure as hell comes as a close second to him. Having said that, Veldora believes everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do and that he shouldn't judge the actions of another person based on his own morals, since from an outside party that person's actions could be completely justified. Jean Rogue, Veldora's guild master and mentor taught him how to keep a cool head and form opinions on individuals based on his own views, rather than just listen to what others have to say. This is of course taking into account if the guilty party hasn't harmed any of Veld's companions as if they have, regardless of their reasons, all gloves are off.

Veldora is incredibly friendly to everyone he comes across, whether they intend to harm him or not. Many have commented on the boy's strange habits when faced with danger and wonder how anyone can keep a smile in such a situation. He has an invaluable ability of talking to people so casually and can make friends with pretty much anything he comes across. Any borders people may put up to keep others out of their life seem to be non existent to this stubborn boy as he doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word "personal space". Following this, Veld is very nosy when it comes to learning about people he comes to likes and he tries his best to understand them and why they act the way they do. This isn't to say that Veld plans on snooping around in their business all the time, he'll just ask them about what they've gone through and if the person doesn't feel like answering, he'll leave it at that. This particular trait of Veld's has won him the affection of several characters that have all gone through their own trauma's and find comfort in the fact that a person like Veld who wishes to befriend them in spite of it exists.



However, despite being welcoming and cheerful most of the time, Veld can showcase surprising hostility towards those that threaten him or his friends and will not hold back if those close to him are in danger. One could call it his “hidden anger” as Veld rarely if ever shows this side of him but when he does so, it’s unquestionable that its quite intimidating to see a man who’s usually smiling suddenly pull a complete reverse in terms of personality. When enraged, Veld will stop smiling completely and will direct what others have to referred to as his “death gaze” towards those who he deems as enemies. Stella has commented that when Veld isn’t smiling, he can become quite scary and always tries her best to keep him from getting angry. Veld has admitted that the reason why he becomes like this is because of his past memories of his having his family broken up and that traumatic experience from losing parents to his losing his older brother figure created that side of him. Veld doesn’t like getting angry himself and would prefer to keep smiling but he also knows that he can’t forgive anyone who attacks his loved ones and so he’ll embrace his hidden rage if it means protecting them, showing just how loyal he is.

Surprisingly, Veld is quite independent and resourceful when it comes to basic survival and nutrition. Not only that but the boy can also cook and prepares all of his meal with the right amount of nourishment to revitalize his energy so he can keep in the best shape. Stella often expresses jealously over Veld's competent cooking skills compared to her own lack luster repertoire and continuously asks him to tutor her in how to be a better cook.

One of Veld's quirky traits is his inability to "read the mood" and can/will unintentionally make situations far worse than they need to be simply because he doesn't understand the timing of when to speak or how to speak to others properly. To put it mildly, he's rather blunt and doesn't dispense with words, casually naming out a person's flaws/weaknesses randomly without any prior warning. A lack of tact is also another way of putting it as he has hurt the feelings of a few individuals not by choice but because he said the wrong thing at the wrong time, made even worse by the fact that he says it with a completely straight face and his usual smile. His companions finds it oddly disturbing how out of it he is regarding social etiquette and are trying to take measures in getting him caught up.

Veld's lack of or inability to comprehend the meaning behind the word "fear" is both his greatest asset while also his greatest weakness. Because he does not fear anything, he will always put himself in harm's way first for his friends without question and will do so without any regret. However, that also means that if he is up against an enemy that is clearly out of his league, it will mean he will sacrifice himself for nothing and make those who love and care for him grieve his senseless loss. Fear is something that he doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand, based on his reactions to life endangering situations. So far, he's been lucky since he hasn't encountered anyone that would make him regret not knowing what true fear is but only time will tell if his luck will eventually run out.

The Talented Child
Born in X770 on December 31st, Veld hails from the country of Evergrande in the Jiolia continent. Veld’s birth was monumental day for both of his parents as they did not expect their child to inherit both of their family’s genetic traits. Because Veld’s older sister, Benehime only inherited their father’s genetic traits, Veld’s expectations to become a powerful magician were thrust upon him, earning his sister’s contempt at having been ignored by her parents.

Veld grew up under the watchful gaze of the palace’s most talented magicians and he was tutored by both his father, Artemis in physical combat and his mother, Seraphina in learning her family's magic. The stress of having such expectations pushed onto him made Veld quite lacking in self confidence and he always tried to seek comfort in his older sister who did little to show her discomfort for the poor boy. Alone and with no one to ease his pain, Veld’s stressful and lonely days continued for years until he reached a breaking point which would cause the boy to attempt to run away from his family’s duties.

Veld’s disappearance from the palace caused quite an uproar among the country and his parents both became desperate to find him, not even realizing the reason for his desertion. When the news had spread to Benehime, she initially was glad that he was gone and didn’t care for his well being until she realized that no matter how badly she treated her younger brother, he never resented her for it and still loved her. Only then understanding just how wrong she was and how much her brother meant to her, she turned the country up and down looking for him. As this was going on, Veld had ended up lost in the Forest of Dreams where he encountered several dangerous creatures that attempted to devour the boy. Try as he might, Veld’s ability was insufficient to deal with the monsters and before they could rip him to shreds, the boy’s life was saved by the timely arrival of his older sister who held tears of happiness at seeing her brother alive and she warmly embraced him, swearing to protect him no matter what.

When Veld returned to his parents, they both harshly scolded the boy who hid behind his sister but relented and embraced him as well, apologizing for how they had gone about dealing with raising him. The Tempest Family became closer to one another and Artemis along with Seraphina began to treat both Veld and Benehime with more love and care, giving them both equal treatment. Veld’s loneliness finally disappeared and he was finally able to have the type of family he always wanted. However, it wasn’t until Veld’s tenth birthday that he would realize that his paradise would soon cease to exist.

The War Begins
In the year X780 on July 4th, Coroza would declare war against the country of Barbaros, which in turn would disrupt the peace of Jiolia and force the other countries to choose a side. Lendaza sided with Coroza and Majesta sided with Barbaros, leaving Evergrande as a neutral party in the conflicted war between countries. Envoys from Barbaros came to Evergrande and spoke with the Vallenstein Family, who were the royal family of Evergrande along with Veld's father, Artemis S. Tempest. Because Artemis and his companions were Vexxen's (that being, all known Vexxen's are aligned with Coroza), the envoys were highly suspicious and demanded the surrender of Artemis and his followers otherwise they would treat it as an act of rebellion.

Refusing to accept their demands, Seraphina boldly declared that they would not submit to their demands, regardless of the consequences With negotiation's completely broken, the Barbaros Federation together with the Lendaza Republic invaded Evergrande and laid the country to ruins, killing all those that resisted. Artemis, accompanied by his trusted companions, Seraphina, and the Vallenstein Family, fought the Barbaros soldiers as hard as they could and commanded Benehime to flee with Veldora, saying their final goodbyes to their blessed children. Veld of course, held refused to just abandon his parents and home but Behenime forcefully dragged him away. Before they could do so however, they were ambushed by Lendaza soldiers who demanded their surrender or else meet death. Unable to allow her younger brother to be taken by them, Benehime held onto her brother and told him she was sorry for all of the unfortunate things in his life and kissed him on the forehead, before pushing him over the cliff, allowing him to escape while the falling Veld could do nothing but watch as his sister fend for her life, alone.

Landing in Utopia
Veld was carried away from Evergrande and his body was fished out from the ocean by a passing stranger who treated the boy’s minor injuries and brought him to a guild house. When Veld awoke in such an unfamiliar location, he had no recollection of what occurred before he lost consciousness and the only thing he could remember was his name, Veldora Tempest. The man who treated Veld’s injuries was intrigued by the boy’s origins and explained that he was sitting in what people call a guild, where he was the guild master. He informed the socially clueless Veld about the basics of how a guild functions and even introduced him to the guild members who welcomed him with open arms. Though he still wondered where he came from and how he ended up here, Veld eagerly asked to join, wanting to experience what it means to be in a guild and became a member Utopia.

Spending the next four years working as a member of Utopia, Veld somehow remained clueless that the guild he had joined was actually a Dark Guild and that the actions of the guild were seen in a negative light by the that tried to track down and arrest the guild several times. Because the war between countries was currently still progressing, Utopia were able to continue with their misdoings as the Magic Council was far too preoccupied with trying to mediate between the countries. It was during Veld’s stay in Utopia that he got closer to Jean (who taught him his signature magic) whose personality began to affect Veld as he the boy became much more open and free spirited.

Disbandment
In X785, Veld now at the age of fifteen was tasked with a large assignment of stealing the cargo off of a Barbaros transport ship that was headed too Coroza that was said to contain an indescribable amount of treasure. Not caring about the treasure and just wanting to prove himself, Veld left on his mission with several others including Jean to steal the cargo ship. The infiltration was successful but before they could seize the cargo, they were ambushed by several mages that had anticipated their arrival with detection magic. Bound and gagged, Veld was captured and the captain of the ship discussed with his subordinates what to do with their “guests”. However, before they could proceed to execute their plan, one of crew members appeared and stated they were under attack from the Coroza Empire. The ship then came under assault by several Coroza ships and everyone that tried to escape were slaughtered.

V eld, running to his guild master’s side was then told the truth about their business and the nature of their guild where he learned that they were just using him. Unable to accept that, Veld desperately asked for it to be a lie before Jean used his magic to pick up the important cargo and throw it overboard with Veld, telling him that though he was a no good criminal, he was glad that he do one good thing in his life by saving the life of a friend. The memories of Veld's past began to pour into the boy's head and tears fell from his eyes at remembering how both his mother, father, and sister were killed and he was unable to save them.

Going Solo
Moments after that, the ship was blown sky high and Veld (who at this point was a sobbing mess) took the cargo and swam away to safety, filling out his master's final order. There was a heavy storm and Veld was swept away with the current along with the crate he held onto for dear life. Eventually ending up on an uninhabited island, Veld cried his heart out at having to lose his loved ones for a second time and cursed his own weakness at not being able to do anything for them. Veld's acceptance of his uselessness almost manifested itself because of his family's barbaric blood coursing through his veins but he was able to control himself and calmed down, realizing that getting revenge wasn't what his parents, his sister, or his mentor would have wanted. At that moment, Veld sword three vows that day, the first being that he would allow anyone close to him to perish ever again, the second being that he would live life the way he wanted and choose his own path, and the third being he swore to never forgive Barbaros or Coroza.

It was only after making those vows that Veld came to remember he hadn't opened the crate with the treasure and planned on using the contents to fund himself. Just as he did so, expecting treasure beyond his wildest dreams.....

The crate contained nothing expect the figure of a sleeping young girl.

Synopsis
Main Storyline = Roleplays =

Ways of Combat
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant:  Physically speaking, Veld is in top condition, allowing for him to perform in close combat quarters almost flawlessly. Being instructed in the ways of hand to hand combat since a young age, Veld has built up a solid foundation of versatile techniques and uses his intuitive mind alongside his natural talent to surprise his enemies. Unlike his father who takes on a much more aggressive approach in regards to melee combat, Veld plays a more cunning game and analyzes his opponent before adjusting his own speed and technique to match them. Striking with his enemies with the most precise movements, Veld has trained his body to react on instinct and can match even those who specialize in physical combat as opposed to magical warfare. The principle behind how Veld approaches his enemies in unarmed combat is to use less excessive movement and plan his next move in advance while at the same time, studying his enemy to search for any openings. This method has proven itself to be quite effective as Veld has been shown to be able to disarm and even knock out individuals with relative ease, even though they usually outnumber him. Even while bare-handed, Veld is a dangerous adversary to confront for anyone who is foolish enough to assume that he cannot perform well in hand to hand combat.

Expert Swordsmanship:   As you may have guessed it, Veld is a capable swordsman that has been trained in the way of the sword since childhood. Brought up with a strict instructor in the form of his older sister, Veld was forced to improve himself as a swordsman and through his rigorous training, learned to adapt his own fighting style that can match those of even master swordsman. Veld’s overall skill with a sword can easily be defined as “adaptable”, since unlike those who are taught a proper form of swordsmanship with several already established maneuvers, Veld takes on an instinctive approach and improvises his moves on the go. This not only allows him to stay unpredictable against enemies he’s previously encountered before, it also lets him freely change his style to fit whatever type of situation he’s in and has given Veld quite the advantage against those unprepared to face his unique style. His katana, Nagimaru that was gift from his father has become an extension of Veld’s own body and he can wield it with such swiftness and precision that it leaves after images to those untrained to deal with such a high level of proficiency. Veld appears to be right-handed as he is always seen wielding Nagimaru with his right hand and will rarely hold it with his left.

Physical Attributes
Enhanced Physical Strength:   Veldora houses incredible strength and power and despite his slender build that would indicate otherwise, is an individual one shouldn’t underestimate in terms of raw power. Being a descendant of the Vexxen Tribe, the strength of a beast courses through his veins and Veldora has inherited that remarkable power to make it his own. A noteworthy feat that Veldora displayed during his travels on Sunder Archipelago was when he was able to stop an enormous boulder that was rolling towards one of the villages. Veldora not only stopped that boulder with minimal effort, he did so using only one of his hands, showing just how power he must hold in his body. Those who have underestimated Veldora and assume he’s weak and frail due to his build have all come to regret doing so as they are always taken by complete surprise when they find out how truly strong he is. When Veldora wields his katana and puts a large amount of his strength into swinging it, he can generate a stream of wind pressure just from the aftermath of said swing. His astonishing power doesn’t only apply to his upper body, as Veldora has been shown to also possess physically powerful legs and can jump vast distances by utilizing those legs, even without his Wind Magic. Having also trained in utilizing martial arts, Veldora can combine his impressive physical strength to create a terrifying frontal assault that can push back enemies of even greater builds.

Enhanced Speed:   Another genetic ability granted to him by being a descendant of the Vexxen Tribe; Veldora has shown notable feats of impressive speed. During combat, Veldora mostly uses his speed together with either his magic or his martial arts to take his foes by surprise when they aren’t capable of predicting where Veldora will move next. Being of a slender build, Veldora has made raising his agility to the highest point one of his top priorities as he believes that the advantage of a battle will always be held by the faster individual. Veldora’s speed has become so refined to the point where when he moves at his fastest pace, he can leave after images of his body and disappear completely from a normal mage’s sight. His legs, which are the main vocal point of where his speed comes from, are so incredibly built that whenever Veldora kicks off the ground to move at high speeds, a noticeable indented foot print will usually be left in his place. Veldora has shown the ability to travel large distances in a short amount of time and can run incredibly fast, though it does exhaust him quickly if he runs at a pace he's not comfortable at. Mages who aren’t used to fighting enemies with considerable speed are left in a state of helplessness when they battle Veldora as it is undeniable that the boy’s speed is far above average. Not only just his moving speed, his attack speed is also considerable as he can thrust his katana, Nagimaru swiftly enough to the point where it appears that he has several arms attacking at the same time. Veldora's speed can also be amplified during use of his Wind Magic as he can generate gusts of wind towards any point of his body to significantly boost his already impressive agility.

Enhanced Reflexes: In addition to his noteworthy agility, Veldora also has near flawless control of his body that allows him to instinctively counter his enemies during the heat of combat; in other words, he has great reflexes. Using the minimal amount of effort needed, Veldora can dodge strikes of considerable speed as he is accustom to fighting enemies of greater swiftness than himself, such as his father and his sister. His speed allows him to follow their movements to better analyze their fighting style, which he then can adapt to after getting used to it. Even at point-blank, Veldora’s reflexes do not fail him and he can dodge strikes that no ordinary person could ever dream of following in the first place, let alone countering.

Incredible Durability and Stamina: Coming from the Vexxen Tribe, who are known for their extreme fondness of combat, Veldora has come to inherit their longevity and physical resistance towards excessive damage. Those who witness his incredible durability are usually left in stunned silence as they aren’t able to believe such a slender and fragile looking boy could withstand such physical damage, to the point where if they themselves were to be struck with power of that magnitude, they’d surely wouldn't come out unscathed. Having trained under his father who is also known for his ridiculous stamina and dexterity, Veldora has learned how to focus his breathing and tighten his muscles at the moment of impact so that the damage taken from an attack will be significantly reduced. Breathing is key during martial arts and Veldora is no novice towards how the human body works, which is why he is able to utilize such an effective method of defense to diminish near fatal attacks. His physical stamina is noteworthy as well, being able to fight for long periods of time and can unleash his most powerful attacks and still have enough energy left over to continue fighting.

Magical Abilities
Tremendous Magical Power: Inheriting the Vallenstein family's dormant magical power, Veldora possesses tremendous magical power that has enough potency to frighten average mages.

Seith Magic
Seith Magic (セイズ魔法 Seizu no Mahō): Veldora is able to utilize Seith Magic, a form of Black Magic that allows him to manipulate the souls of wandering spirits to his will. He learned this magic from his mother who was a proficient user of Seith Magic and has stated that this type of Black Magic has run in the Vallenstein Family for generations. At the moment, Veld is only able to utilize Human Possession to acquire the souls of human souls and place them either within his katana or within his own body.

Human Possession
A type of Seith Magic that allows the caster to seal wandering souls inside objects and manipulate them as they wish. The so-called "dolls" which are produced by this union can serve a variety of purposes, such as offense, defense and even transportation.
 *  Human Possession: Katana Style (人形憑 Hitotsuki: Kenshiki): A form of Seith Magic which lets Veldora trap and then place Yoh's_Uncontrolled_Over_Soul_2.jpgring souls into weapons, specifically swords or katana's. Being taught swordsmanship, Veld was always instructed to use weapons as the medium's for souls and prefers to use his katana. When using Human Possession: Katana Style, the katana changes shape drastically and takes the form of an enlarged ghost that covers the blade. By utilizing this form of possession, Veld can communicate with the soul that inhibits his katana and coordinate his next attack in conjunction with the soul's powers. Not only that, but his newly attained weapon is able to improve Veld's fundamental skills in swordsmanship by moving faster and stronger to assist him. The new and improved katana has now become an extension of Veld's powers and can either work together with him or move on its own if for some reason, Veld is incapable of wielding it. The abilities of the katana will change depending on the soul used for the possession; the more powerful the soul being, the more powerful Veld's abilities are increased.
 * Human Possession: Armor Style (人形憑鎧式 Hitotsuki: Yoroishiki): A form of Seith Magic which lets Veldora Human_Possession_-_Armor_Style.png and then place wandering souls into pieces of clothing that he wears, like his shirt or his pants. Unlike Human Possession: Katana Style, this style focuses more on polishing Veld's lackluster defensive capabilities and has become Veld's new staple technique for defending. When using Armor Style, a drastic change can be seen on the clothing that Veld wears and from them, a pair of armored hands will sprout from his back that can move either on their own or according to Veld's will. The physical resistance on the new armor is astounding, even being able to withstand powerful forms of offensive magic and come out relatively unscathed. Despite its name and main function being tailor made for defense, its actually possible to use this form of possession offensively which Veld takes advantage of maliciously. By wielding his katana with one of the armored hands, Veld can attack while at the same time defend and create a fantastic style that lets him use both forms of combat. The abilities of the armor will change depending on the soul used for the possession; the more powerful the soul being, the stronger the defensive properties of his armor.

Wind Magic


Wind Magic (風魔法 Kaze no Mahō): Veldora is a proficient user of Wind Magic, a type of Caster Magic that enables the caster to generate and manipulate the element of wind. Veldora learned this Elemental Magicfrom his former guild master and mentor, Jean Rogue who was famous for his usage of Wind Magic. Being naturally talented at learning magic quickly and having an affinity for it, Veld possesses exceptional skill in manipulating wind. Veld became so adept at using wind magic that many in his former guild often confused Veld's usage of it with Jean's and were surprised at how skillful he had become with it. Veld's only known method of casting this magic is by making hand gestures to direct the flow of his mana. Veld is also proficient at using this magic defensively to form walls of wind to block any incoming attacks, which are also capable of reflecting magic aimed at him.
 *  Flight (逃亡 Furaito): By manipulating a current of wind and directing it towards the soles of his feet, Veld is capable of generating enough wind to lift himself into the air and can essentially levitate for long periods of time. The prospects of using such an ability are various; he can freely soar through the air to scout his surroundings, cross vast distances in a short amount of time, keep a fair distance away from his enemies to survey the situation and plan his next move. However, all of these positives come at a price as Veld can find himself low on magic power if he uses Flight for too long.
 *  Backdraft (後手形 Bakkudorafuto): With exceptional talent in controlling Wind Magic, this technique was Backdraft.jpged by Veld by utilizing a strong current of wind to form a wall of wind. The defensive properties of this technique vary depending on how much magic Veld puts into it but it has been shown to be able to repel fierce attacks from all angles, giving Veld (for a short amount of time; a brief moment more precisely) an impenetrable defense. The wall of wind is able to surround Veld and give him a perfect 360 degree shield that has come through in a pinch in nullifying unforeseen attacks. This technique can also be used as an offensive asset along with being a defensive one due to the wall's reflective properties. Due to the strong current blowing around Veld when using Backdraft, depending on the level of attack, it can be redirected back at the enemy.

Tempest Magic
Tempest Magic (嵐法 Tenpesuto no Mahō): Tempest Magic is an advanced form of magic derived from the Sky Warrior, Jean Rogue's signature Wind Magic. After learning the latter far quicker than expected, Veld took the fundamentals of said magic a step further and created his own original variation out of a desire to impress his mentor. The naming of Veldora’s new form of magic came from his last name; Tempest which was a tribute to not only his father but all members of the Demons of Tempest who looked after him when he was younger. Unlike Wind Magic that is mainly used (but not limited too) for mobility and defensive purposes, Tempest Magic is an all out form of offensive magic that deals with compressing and building one's own magic to the highest degree possible to create an explosive burst of power. In doing so, Veldora has gained a new type of mastery over wind and can either strike at his enemies with extremely sharp and precise blades of wind or conjure powerful gusts to blow his enemy to smithereens. Compared to Wind Magic, Tempest Magic is more effective in regards to having a direct effect on an enemy and prioritizes damage over stability, causing the magic to be labelled as unstable and unreliable outside of combat. There are two methods towards using Tempest Magic; using either hand gestures similar to how one casts Wind Magic or by utilizing a weapon of some sort, in this case it would be Veldora’s treasured katana, Nagimaru.
 * <font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"> Tempest Style: Gale Slayer (風遁スレイヤー Fūton: Geiru Sureiyaa, lit. "Wind Release: Storm Slayer"): One of Veldora's signature techniques; By condensing a powerful gust of wind at a certain point, Veld is capable of creating razor sharp blades composed of wind by utilizing his Tempest Magic to Gale_Slayer.pngen that wind. Ordinarily, using such an unstable magic in such a way would be far too difficult for a normal mage to pull off, however; Veldora’s exceptional talent in controlling wind allowed him to use that control in conjunction with his uncontrollable magic and thus, the Gale Slayer was perfected. Compared to the power of your average Wind Magic, the blades formed from the Gale Slayer are of a clearly superior quality, being able to slice through the strongest of materials with relative ease. Don’t be confused however; sharpness isn’t the only enhanced factor this technique has compared to the winds of normal wind magic, such as speed and maneuverability. Whenever Veldora is seen casting this spell, the blades of wind formed when doing so become ridiculously fast and incredibly difficult to keep track of for average mages. It may even seem that the blades of wind vanish completely when using Gale Slayer. Veldora usually prefers to use this technique by firing it with his hands as it is easier to control and direct his magic this way. Nagimaru, Veldora’s treasured katana can also be used with this technique to enhance the overall power of Veldora’s arsenal. When Veldora adds the extra power of his physical strength on top of utilizing Human Possession, the Gale Slayer truly becomes a force to be reckoned with.


 * <font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"> Tempest Style: Gale Bullet ( 風遁 銃弾大 Fūton: Geiru Buretto, lit. "Wind Release: Gale Shots"): A variation of the Gale Slayer technique; Gale Bullet focuses on using the same condensed wind as usual but Gale_Bullets.jpg with a twist; in this instance, Veldora fires off an almost infinite amount of wind blades one after the other. When using his Tempest Magic, those blades of wind each become individual Gale Slayers, creating the powerful Gale Bullet. With Veld's excellent manipulation of wind control, this technique has slowly but steadily grown into a incredibly versatile staple and can be used successfully in several different scenarios. The slashes of wind that are fired each possess a staggering amount of magic power and when hit with the full assault of several of them, most enemies are hard pressed to immediately counter after being caught off guard. With Veld's sharpening, the bullets can inflict severe wounds to those unfortunate enough to be struck with them in their entirety. Veld has shown even more mastery of this technique when he is able to redirect the skill’s trajectory, leaving his foes with little time to prepare as they aren't able to predict where his attack will come from. When used in combination with Veldora’s weapon, the bullets may appear as if they were conjured up by Nagimaru and depending on how fast Veldora draws his blade, may end up being noticeably more destructive than without a weapon. This is even taking even further when using Human Possession which can magnify the power output to a higher degree.
 * <font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"> Tempest Style: Maelstrom Blow ( 風遁 ブロー Fūton: Maerusutoumu Burou, lit. "Wind Release: Vortex Bringer"): By gathering a tremendous amount of wind pressure, Veldora can produce a powerful shockwave blast that has enough Maelstrom_Blow.jpg to blow away anything near it. Though it looks quite identical to the Backdraft technique, Maelstrom Blow uses the uncontrollable wind’s of Tempest Magic to its fullest and changes the type of wind produced. Instead of just blowing them back, the enemy will also have to deal with the razor sharp blades that come along with it, essentially giving birth to a two way offensive strike. The creator, Veldora is also impressive for coming up with such a well rounded technique, as such an advanced method of using simple wind in this manner could only be created with great insight and instinct. The amount of pressure generated from the shockwave is dependent on how much magic Veldora chooses to input; allowing Veldora to freely adjust the range and power of his technique to fit whatever situation he is in. At its weakest, Maelstrom Blow becomes more of a mini shockwave that while can push enemies back, the distance is quite short, whereas at its strongest, has more than enough force to send enemies flying miles away. The technique can be performed by Veld either by using his bare hands/feet or by unsheathing his katana and directing his magic power into the blade. The difference between using methods isn’t too noticeable but there is clearly a jump in power when Veldora’s katana is utilized instead. More on that point, when used combination with Human Possession, the technique's overall destructive power is now multiplied and the force of impact around Veld is increased as well. Veld has enough mastery over this technique to direct the angle of the blast and can either directly fire it in one direction or spread it around his entire body.
 * <font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"> Tempest Style: Raging Twister (風遁ツイスター Fūton: Ooarashi no Tsuisutaa, lit. "Wind Release: Vengeful Tornado"): The single most deadliest spell Veldora can currently cast. When Veldora gathers a staggering amount of wind in his hands, he is capable of Tempest_Typhoon.jpging an enormous tornado that's only objective is to utterly eradicate whatever is unfortunate enough to be caught up within its contents. The creation of this spell was the result of Veldora using one hundred percent of his Tempest Magic’s power in a way that could continuously damage his enemy in a never ending attack. The method towards casting this spell is different from the others Veldora has used in the past, due to the fact that the uncontrollable wind he produces is far too unstable to control for very long and he is forced to immediately set it off after gathering enough wind. The spell is surprisingly thorough, leaving the area outside of its attack radius completely unscathed while outside lookers are unable to enter its contents, unless they would prefer to be shredded to ribbons. By sharpening his magic to the highest point, Veldora’s  Raging Twister is virtually unbreakable to those trapped inside as the razor edges of the twister will continuously cut his enemies until the magic is dissolved or they find a way to escape. The technique appears to be incredibly taxing however, as Veld can always be seen panting heavily after using it, showcasing just how much magic must be required to sustain a technique of this caliber. Because of the nature and requirement to use this technique, Veldora will only use this attack as a last resort to either defeat a powerful adversary or too escape if the fight looks too difficult.
 * <font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"><font color="Black"> Tempest Style: Cyclone Drive (風遁低ドライブ Fūton: Saikuron Doraibu, lit. "Wind Release: Hurricane Fist"): An advanced technique that Veldora struggled to master during his stay in Utopia but was later able to perfect when he arrived on Sunder Archipelago. By concentrating Cyclone_Drive.gif utilizing the uncontrollable current of his Tempest Magic around his arm, Veld can form a miniature tornado that is able to manifest itself around his forearm, creating the Cyclone Drive technique. Similar to the Gale Slayer, this move focuses primarily on the rotating the wind gathered in Veld's hand but unlike Blade, can be used both offensively and defensively. When attacking, Hurricane Knuckle allows Veld to amplify his destructive power with his bare hands/feet or with his sword by allowing his wind to add a clockwise rotation, which has proven surprisingly effective in increasing the overall power. When Veld punches his foes with this move, the added force of the wind has enough power to send the receiver spiraling several miles back and as an added effect, the receiver will spin endlessly as they aren't able to stop themselves. Defensively speaking, the violent current of wind blowing around his arm can give Veld a near unbreakable shield that is quite difficult to disrupt for users who excel in close combat quarters. As expected, Veld's mastery of this technique is so great that he is able to also use it with his katana and form the tornado around the blade, empowering his own weapon with the properties of his Tempest Magic. The destructive power Veld can unleash can be doubled if he is also using Human Possession.

Nagimaru
Nagimaru (凪丸網機, Negimaru, Japanese for "The Calm Wind") is Veldora's treasured katana and a family heirloom passed down from his father. The katana is relatively long and measures up well with Veldora's height, prompting him to carry it around usually in one hand or rarely, strapped onto his back. It has a crimson hilt and uses a black sheath to cover the beautiful silver blade underneath. The blade's density and refinement is top of the line, having been clearly created from an exceptional blacksmith. During Veldora's training in Evergrande when he was still a young boy, he would hear stories from his father based around the origins of Nagimaru and where it had come from. The story consisted of a tragic tale between a pair of brothers who were both praised for their blacksmith skills and were unrivaled across the lands. For years, the brothers competed with one another in the hopes of surpassing the other and made a countless amount of swords but were always dead even in terms of quality, sharpness, and overall durability.

Frustrated that they were always tying, the two brothers agreed on one final competition to craft the "perfect" katana and set out to find the best and rarest materials in order to do so. Nearly a year later after they agreed on the competition, one of the brother's fell ill and passed away before he could fulfill the promise between his brother, who was devastated at the loss of his greatest rival and dear sibling. Not wanting to let his sacrifice go to waste, the brother who was still alive took the materials that his deceased brother left behind and used them alongside his own to craft one of the most powerful katana's to ever come into existence, the Nagimaru. The sword was then passed down from generation to generation as a memento to his brother who passed away and eventually, the blade ended up in the possession of Artemis who has now passed it on to his own son.

The katana's strength is undeniable and Veldora is able to bring out the best of its hidden power by wielding it with his skillful swordsmanship. Nagimaru's weighs the same as any other average katana but has had its blade sharpened to such a degree that when swung with formidable strength, it can cause frictions in the air and even split apart the wind itself.
