Dex currently work as a Dark Mage/Bounty Hunter, he have captured many in his records. He took on this job because he seeks revenge on a certain Mage who destroyed his home village. Before becoming famous for this job, he lived several years on the safari since his village was destroyed. Therefore he learned to survive and adapt the ways of the wilderness without contact to anybody.

He usually takes jobs from the Purple Phoenix's job board that are related to Dark Mages. Due to his busy work, he is known as the Phantom Phoenix since he is rarely seen around with his team, the Phoenix Chasers.

Appearance
Dex D. Draco is a muscular man with lightly tanned skin. He always carries his three swords along with him, bundled up with a red sash over his right hip, allowing him to easily draw them with his left hand. Although his right hand is usually seen resting over them, he can also use this hand to pull his swords out before sitting down. He has three identical gold earrings on his left earlobe.

Dex has a scar running down his left eye, which is implied to be critically injured as it is always closed. Dex also have a massive scar from his left shoulder to his right hip. He wears a long, open dark-green coat, closed on his waist by his red sash, and he tied a black bandana around the left sleeve. He has no shirt underneath and a green haram aka is visible under the coat.

Dex's remarkable feature is his cropped green hair, which resembles a moss ball.

Personality
Dex is confident, but often acts in a very comical manner. He also have a terrible sense of direction which he is very insecure about since he never admits it when he gets lost, instead he always blame someone else. While off duty, Dex can be found (usually) sleeping or training to be prepared to face his enemies. Dex has been known to kill his opponent if he has to, though never in cold blood. He enjoys fighting a strong opponent and when he does, he tends to retain a maniacal grin and serious glare throughout.

He has a stern, serious, and distanced personalty. But he often acts in a goofy way while having a conversation with his guild mates. He likes to drink, but he never gets drunk due to his inhumanly-high endurance and tolerance for alcohol. Despite his sense of direction, he is always the first to sense an enemy or danger, and always the first to act. Dex never brags or lies about his abilities, sometimes admitting a weakness, even to an enemy. He also never try to escape from a fight or use trickery to win, believing that doing so is cowardly and scorning anyone who use such tactics. Dex is very vigorous, strong-willed, and determined.

Despite being goofy most of the time, Dex is actually an intelligent individual. He had shown this in battle, in which he thinks of strategic attacks.

History
During his childhood, Dex wasn't as serious as he is currently. He was quite lively and stubborn, he became the troublemaker of his village, but it doesn't bother anyone. Instead, he make them smile everyday. Dex once spectated his village's swordsman sparring; he suddenly became interested in it, so he would make a wooden sword and practices on wooden dummies. Two weeks after that, the village was invaded by a group of Dark Mages, or specifically a Dark Guild. They burned down everything, their shelters, their resources. Dex confronted one of them and challenged him to a fight, but have lost.

After the Mages left, Dex found out that he was the only one left, he gathered the remaining resources and his wooden sword to moved somewhere else. He was in an environment nowhere near the cities or any human contacts, except for creatures of the safari.

He learned to survive and adapted pretty quickly, he trained with cheetahs, gazelles, and lion. Dex now have the speed of a cheetah, the agility of a gazelle, and the strength of a lion.

Eventually, he found his way to Magnolia and joined the Purple Phoenix.

Magical Abilities
Magical Aura: A magical aura is created when the body's container of particles exceeds the limits of what it contains, or is purposefully released by the user. Upon doing so, the magical energy surges around the body and is exerted outwards in the form of an aura, which holds considerable pressure surrounding it. Depending on the level of magical power one possesses and the control behind it, it can be used as a means to intimidate another individual, or as a preparation for a powerful spell. A single magical aura can have a wide variety of effects dependent on the power an individual exerts, which will be outlined in the following sections. Dex have a Monster Aura (未力の魔霊気, Miryoku no Mareiki; Literally meaning Magical Aura of Outstanding Power), as it is classified, is the strongest classification of aura to date. Only extremely powerful mages are capable of this aura, and are generally Guild Aces, if not masters. Upon release, the magic almost consumes the user in their color, leaving nothing but a phantom-like apparition to remain. It should also be noted that the aura is far wider, and is generally uncontrolled by the individual. However, "Monster" auras aren't limited to intimidation, and can be used for the preparation of a spell. It is also worth noting that the pressure exhibited from such an aura can form a large column of energy, leaving the pressure enough to visibly cause strain on individuals even from a considerable distance away from the exertion of the aura, indicating at the sheer level of power within this aura.


 * Second Origin Activation: The rumored Second Origin (二原, Nigen) is, in fact, wrongly named. When considering the nature of the Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), the Second Origin and its activation is simply unlocking the full extent of one's Magic Origin and power. There are a number of ways one can go about unlocking it: it can be a natural process that takes a considerable number of ways, a sudden surge of willpower during a situation of crisis or accelerating the process through magic such as the Arc of Time. However, all of these cause the passive effects of unlocking one's Second Origin to be visible. In the case of Dragon Slayers, it appears to dramatically improve one's physical prowess, but also the intensity of their magical power. However, in the case of standard mages, it vastly increases the quantity of magic they may use in any given situation for a brief period of time, giving them access to magic and equipment that can potentially, though the claim itself is debatable.

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


 * Sword Pressure: When performing the Sword Pressure technique, Dex swings forward with his sword(s), swinging the blade so swiftly that it seems that he is able to utilize air itself to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which Dex launches at foes; sending it through the air towards the his enemy. It is a powerful blade of pressure that appears as faint ripples of wind that is launched towards the foe at high speeds; this attack enables the Dex to assault things which are out of his sword's range, sending slashes which fly through the air itself; and can even remain floating in it until the right moment to slash. The person struck by the sword pressure is assaulted by countless invisible blades which happens so fast that they would normally be unable to properly react in time, carving up their body. Also, the strong wind power will blow away all incoming projectile weapons and will even make the opponent unable to stay on their feet; this technique possesses enough power to slice down many trees in a forest. Dex can use this technique to deflect both physical and sound wave attacks and attack at the same time, making it both an offensive and defensive technique.

Flash Sword Style (閃剣流, Senken-ryū): The Flash Sword Style is an extremely dynamic form of combat, as suggested by the name of the style itself. It revolves around the concept of flash, and therefore primarily requires an enormous amount of speed and skill in order to initiate within any combat situation. Rather than utilizing singular hits to create an enormous amount of damage, the user concentrates their efforts in the build up of damage over an extensive period of time. Therefore, they are able to cause their opponent's stamina to be winded down significantly, while also causing them to be in severe pain from the constant slashes that are placed upon them.


 * Flash Sword Style: Clash and Bash (衝突とはbash, Shōtotsu to wa basshu): Dex wields his 3 swords and swings them at the same direction with great force while charging at his opponent, if the opponent is defending themselves with a shield or a sword, Dex's sword will clashes against it and bash their shield/sword to bits. This move can also be used for destroying magical bullets.


 * Flash Sword Style: Final Strike (最後のストライキ, Saigo no sutoraiki): Dex's finishing move. He dashes at his target and perform a piercing stab that can cut through armor at supersonic speed. This move requires strength, agility, and durability. If Dex uses this move carelessly, he could end up injured.


 * Flash Sword Style: Dynamic Dance: Dex swings his sword in a pattern, jumping side to side, back and forth around his target, slashing them with extreme speed and accuracy, inflicting heavy damage.


 * Flash Sword Style: Primordial Pierce: Dex performs a piercing stab with all three of his swords facing the same way, one could become unconscious from the result.

Touch Sensory Magic (せっしょく ちかくしんけい まほう Sesshoku Chikakushinkei Maho): A magic that supercharges your sense of touch. The power of this magic is so powerful that it is capable of feeling even air currents moving around them. This allows a person to react quickly if, for example, their skin was touched by someone. Their neuron's record messages so quickly and powerfully when supercharged that they are capable of doing this. This also makes the brain respond back to the body at faster speeds.
 * Flash Sword Style: Extreme Blade: Dex dashes past his opponent about 10 times, each dash followed up with three slashes, and light was produced from each slash. In the enemy's eyes, Dex have become a blur.
