- Lord Arceus

Haruto Tsumeikai (春と津晦冥, Tsukaimei Haruto) is the former hero & a powerful mage of the Pergrande Kingdom; he was also formerly the head of the Monoceras Royal Guard — their duty was to defend the royal family from anything threatening its existence. Known from his valor and courage, he saved his homeland on countless number of occasions. It was during its most recent disaster that he defeated a great evil that nearly tried to wipe out the country from times prior; he accidentally bathed in its blood and gained a unique form of immortality — eternal youth. However, it was also because of that he fell into a deep slumber; it was something he couldn't recover from. Sleeping for 500 years, he was awakened through the machinations of his current master — Undine Hoshikagumi; the latter told him what happened to his people & how they are currently thriving. However, she also told him how they had long-forgotten him, something he had expected; they gave him the title of "Pergrande's Lost Hero" (ペグランデの迷勇者, Pergurande no Maiyuusha), as they have long-forgotten his true name. Thus, in thanks for awakening him, he swore fealty towards her, becoming his guardian; feeling flattered, she decided to "adopt" him, thus he becomes her third child, sorta speak. Through this, he also becomes the adoptive sibling to both Argo Hiyamori & Kairi Chiyami respectively; upon meeting them, he swore fealty to them as well, nobly protecting them with all of his might, much to their embarrassment.

He serves as one of the more supporting characters of the storyline; he takes orders directly from Undine himself, like his adoptive older brother & younger sister, something that varies from time-to-time. However, because of his kindness and valor, along with his overall power and background, he was offered a position as one of the Ten Wizard Saints. He later accepts, wanting to set an example for those around him; he wanted to show that hard work and valor can help one achieve greatness in life. Not only that, it was under Undine's direct orders, wanting to closely evaluate the skills of the current generation and that he's able to access certain information that's only known to certain members of the council; it should be easy for someone like him, who's earned the trust of many. Because of his current position, at times, he works with the other Wizard Saints on certain occasions, whether if its an order or because he wants to. He's recognized by everyone in the Daybreakverse as the "Holy Knight of the Magic Council" (魔法評議院の白騎士, Mahō Hyōgi-in no Shirokishi) because of his courageous deeds done on behalf of the Magic Council itself; this convinces them that there's little corruption within it, much to the latter's benefit. Ironically, he's been dubbed as "Black Horseman of Imbalance" (不均衡の黒騎士, Fukinkō no Kurokishi) by many of the council's enemies because they say he represents their injustice; it's the only title he abhors because, in his own words, "It opposes and tramples on everything that I [Haruto] truly represent & fight for." Like certain characters in the series, he's able to utilize the Soul Armours. In his case, his was made by Undine herself through very orthodox methods, crafted at the exact same time as his sibling's very own; it's only usable through the special dog tag made by his mother/master as a thank-you gift for his service to her. Donning it in certain situations, he becomes Soul Armor Knight Dikaiosýnē (神鎧纏最高戦士天罰覿面 (ソウル・アーマー・ナイト・ディカイオサイニー), Sōru Āmā Naito Dikaiosainī; lit. meaning "God-Armour-Clad Supreme Warrior Heaven's Swift Absolute Justice"). He later becomes a Rune Knight captain after his promotion to a Wizard Saint; his valor and courage, two of his most redeemable traits which helps to inspire others — letting them help find their form of morality & justice, are the main reasons why. He tends to assist in the rest of Team Daybreak, saying that the group is filled with courageous individuals.

Appearance
Befitting his role as a "white knight", Haruto has been described as either "incredibly handsome" or "astonishingly cute" for someone his age; the girls in his age group outright stated that, when meeting him for the first time, it's as if he comes right out of a fantasy — much to his embarrassment. He's garnered the attention of many individuals; his stature either gravitates people towards him or makes people incredibly jealous of his outward appearance, repelling him as a result, dubbing him as "the enemy of all normal kind" — which is normally seen in the males; there are a few females that stated this on occasions, typically for comical purposes. Comically enough, after spending a few months in the current time period he's residing in, he's been featured multiple times in Sorcerer's Magazine, being highly ranked in the Top Five of “Mage you want to have as a Boyfriend”; this is similar to his foster brother, Argo, and his fellow comrade, Jin — two individuals known for their overall handsomeness; it's only after Kairi pointed it out to him that he felt even more embarrassment. Also, like the latter, he's been dubbed as a "bishōnen" by many people that he encounters over the course of the series. All of these comments about his outer appearance tends to culminate in him being very self-conscious on how he looks; he will often try to change himself in various ways, but will eventually end in a comical failure — they only enhance his appeal even further. Despite all the problems his looks tends to unintentionally cause, either for himself or for those around him, it does have some positives; because it holds so many experiences and past hardships, whether it's locked in his eyes or seen all over his body, he gains much respect and can command much attention in many cases. This is seen when he joined the Rune Knights for the first time; he was judged by the soldiers that he was in-charge of solely based on his outer appearance. After they saw the chivalry and conviction in his eyes, and the various marking riddled all over his body, they decided to turn themselves over to him at that moment — they knew that he was a man that could be trusted, one that has great leadership. Though, this is derived from his past life in the Pergrande Kingdom. There are other moments similar to this; one example is when he met Undine, and later his foster siblings, for the first time — all of them seeing how much he's suffered and how he grew because of it, either physically or mentally. One of the most noticeable traits about Haruto that many people tend to overlook, or even be ignorant about in many cases, is his age; he's one of the oldest characters in the series, despite not looking like it. It's mainly due to him falling under a simple sleeping curse when he bathed in the blood of the evil he slain in order to save his country; the spell put him in a stasis, thus he retained his youth and magical abilities — remaining untouched by the flow of time. Even Undine was amazed by this fact upon discovering him, and later performing a series of tests on him to check his overall health. A comical note, whenever he tries to tell people his real age, they either brush it off as a joke or he gets interrupted by something around him; at this point, people tend to "play it by ear" and dub him the age based on his physical appearance. Being the typical height of those of his age group, he possesses soft facial features. He has tannish-skin and shows no signs of blemishes whatsoever. He has purple-colored hair that's stylized in a bowl-cut; his bangs tends to hang haphazardously from various parts of his face. However, they don't cover his eyes, despite their length. Strangely enough, he has one white strand of hair that lies in the center; pointed out by Kairi herself upon first glance, he stated that this strand was a sign of his family's lineage in the Pergrande Kingdom; it showed that they have the right to succeed the throne should anything happen to the royal family. His slate-grayish blue eyes possess much fierce emotion in them, showing signs of experience & wisdom gained from many encounters with various individuals; it's capable of instilling fear within even the bravest individuals with but a mere glance. Noted many times in the series is the various scars on his body; although they're light, they tend to be numerous. This is due to the many battles he's fought over the years and the harsh experiences he went through. It's only complemented by his lithe, yet muscular build — which is minuscule when compared to the like of either Argo or Jin's; one can consider it to be more advanced than an athlete's, yet lesser than that of a Super Soldier's. Because he trains every day when he gets the chance, it only improves at a steady pace. A comical note made by Undine on many occasions is that, like Jin and Argo, he's *ehem* "well-endowed" — something that she makes fun of for all three of them; she found out this fact when she performs monthly exams on them in order to check up on her children/test subject's overall health amongst other things. It seems that, like the other two, he gets flustered when she brings up this topic — especially in front of Kairi, who's clueless on what she means; either he or the other two would often try to shift the subject, much to her amusement.

Like his siblings, or most of the characters in the series for that matter, Haruto only has multiple outfits. The first one is the one he's commonly seen in — the one he's slept in for many years. It's considered to be the uniform of the Monoceras Royal Guard, who guard the throne with fierce determination. When Kairi saw it up-close, she compares it to that of a school uniform. Strangely enough, Haruto doesn't deny this; in fact, he agrees after learning what a "school uniform" was. Consisting of a white blazer with golden linings, it has four buttons — two on the top and another two at the bottom. The inside material is of a darker color and the collar is rolled down, exposing the inside; the blazer also has pockets on each side. The cuffs are of a darker tone with a white outline going through the center in a circumferential manner. Underneath, he wears a dark gray dress shirt, the collar overlapping with the blazer's own; strangely enough, there seems to be an insignia of the sort on the right side of the collar. It may denote to either the royal guard itself or Haruto's noble family; he never clearly stated. It's topped off with white dress pants, gray dress shoes, black dress socks, and gray-buckled black belt. Haruto also carries a dog tag around his neck — a gift from his new master/foster mother, Undine; it later becomes the focal point of his transformation in his Soul Armour. There is an alternate version of this outfit, being more slim-fitting and flexible; it's also the other standard uniform members of the Monoceras Royal Guard are required to wear at times. It still keeps to the same color scheme, having a balance of all three colors. However, there are slight differences between the two. For one, the pants and sleeves are of a darker tone, the former's edges are extending outward — as if it's detached in some way; it should be noted that the ends are of a silvery color. The mid-section is separated by gold borderlines. The inner parts are also of a darker tone, having one gold line going horizontally through the middle, while the outer parts are white with another gold line horizontally through the middle in the opposite direction. The two lines meet at near the borderline, connected by a large silver button. There are gold pieces that act as a collar; it extends to the back, ending near the two shoulder blades and taking the form of a hexagon. Haruto usually wears this outfit when he's on missions at times or when he's training alone. Haruto stated that out of the two, the latter is obviously more fitted for combat than the former, being made from super durable material that conforms to the wearer's body shape, thus allowing for enhanced movement and flexibility while being able to take a lot of damage; in this sense, it can also serve as a shield of sorts, being able to protect the wearer's body from most forms of physical damage. The second outfit he's seen in is one for stealth and other missions done on behalf of his mother; it's custom-made, using the technology at Undine's disposal. Noted many times that he looks like an assassin of sorts, he tends not to wear it at times as it clashes with the image he makes himself in the eyes of the public. However, he will use it either if necessary or when he's commanded to by Undine. Consisting of dark trench coat fashioned in a similar manner to his blazer, he wears a black dress shirt with a light, dark-colored sweater on top. It comes with a pair of black pants, black socks, and black boots. He also wears black leather gloves, which are known to be very tough & durable. His most important item in this set is the white opera mask with a purple thunderbolt going through the left eye that he wears in order to conceal his identity; Undine noted that it would be trouble if people found out who he was without using his mask when he does his mission she assigns him; he needs to keep up his normal persona in-front of others while being merciless and cold when working in secret. On an interesting note, it's been said many characters in the series that this uniform is the inverted version of his common attire; it symbolizes of doing work in the shadows, while the other symbolizes doing work in the light. Poetic enough, if one might say. Later on in the storyline, after his initial attire is ruined during one of his long-term training missions, he's given another one by Undine. Not only that, he went through a modification surgery to further increase his strength at the behest of Undine for later battles. Though successful, it caused his entire appearance to change entirely. While still inheriting some traits from his previous state, he loses the white streak of hair — now becoming completely purple. Also, his hair has grown a bit longer than before; however, it's not as much. Both his skin and eyes take on a lighter coloration. He's also grown to be a bit taller than prior, being able to tower over Kairi and be nearly at the same height as Jin and Argo; his musculature has developed almost as the same level as theirs. His new attire is much more durable than most, made from a special material that causes it to regenerate when given enough time and can stand up to even the most brutal of attacks, acting similar to a suit of armor. One can say it's similar to Undine's lab coat and Argo & Kairi's attires respectively. Taking the form of a school uniform, it consists of a white blazer with a turned-out collar that's lined with red material with various line-based patterns on the inside, having a sky blue line going straight through the middle near the top; it should be noted that they way its designed makes it look like the inner material is overlapping with the blazer itself, giving off the appearance of two layers. Strangely enough, the inside of the blazer is the same color as the outside. On the outside on the sides, there's two black lines going down the front, reaching the bottom. On the back at the very bottom, there's one black bar that goes straight while having smaller lines adjacent to it. There's also weirdly-shaped straps near the cuffs of the sleeves that's connected by buttons of sorts. His long-sleeved dress shirt is black in color and parts near the bottom; It also has a thin white line-based in the middle of the shirt that reaches to the top, where it's met by a white popped-up collar with various futuristic-shape-based designs that comes in red-based colors. It should be noted that the sleeves are long enough that it passes the blazer's by mere inches, thus it can be seen sticking out of the cuffs. Not only that, in the middle of the part of his black dress shirt, there's a white crescent shape design. His dress pants is black in color and is loose, yet form-fitting. It extends past his ankles and, like on the sleeves of his blazer, there's two bands stretching from his right calf; However, it only half-circumferential, ending near the borderline stitching that extends down the middle. Coming with gold dress socks, his shoes are black and a bit more rounded near the end than his previous slip-on loafers. Also, there seems to be a white cross in the middle of them for reasons unknown. Like his previous one, this is combat-oriented. However, it's been proven that this one is less restricting and enhances Haruto's mobility rate by a very high degree amongst other things. Comically enough, a running gag is that whenever he wears it, people start to mistake him for a student.

Equipment
Tyrfing (恒常戦場の聖剣 (ディルヴィング) Diruvingu; Norse for "Endless Cycle", Japanese for "Holy Blade of the Perpetual Warfront"): Tyrfing is a sword that's been passed down in Haruto's family for many generations; infused within its very being is the blood of its countless wielders and enemies slaughtered by its blade, regardless of race or origin. It's survived a vast number of encounters, always strengthening itself in some way so that it never falters. At this point in time, it's considered to be one of the strongest weapons in the Daybreakverse; it's power is said to rival that of the Soul Armours — a fact confirmed by Undine and Giselle themselves upon witnessing its might in action. It's made from Orichalcum, the hardest known metal in existence, thus it can't be broken as easily; in fact, it's said to be harder than diamond. Because it's infused with extreme amounts of magic, which was slowly gained over time from the numerous enemies that had fallen by its edge, its able to generate its own-source. This in-turn allows it to share with its wielder at any given time. Not only that, the sword is considered to be an AIM — which presumably stands for "Anti-Magic"; going by this acronym, it means that Tyrfing was designed so that it would combat any form of magic used against it, no matter its origins. However, "AIM" can also stand for An Involuntary Movement (無自覚 Mujikaku, lit. "No Awareness"); meaning that the weapon is at the pinnacle of power — which again, may have to do with the way the weapon strengthens itself from time-to-time, reaching its utmost potential at a certain point; in response to this, and any other abilities that it possesses, Haruto had learned a unique form of Sword Magic — one that's been passed down from generation to generation of wielders. The sword takes on a peculiar shape, one not found in anything of its kind. Tyrfing is the only AIM that's "natural" in a sense; it's not man-made. Finding its basis on a katana, it has a silver edge with a black back end. Near the base, it curves inward three times, decreasing in size as it goes downward before connecting & jutting outward in a long spike-based fashion. There's no tsuba, but in its place is a gold ornament that lies on the frontal portion of the blade, reaching up to the uppermost part of the blade, passing all of the curves; it also makes a full circumference, covering all other portions of said blade, ending only near the spike protrusion. The handle is dark-brown color with red diamond-like pattern; on its uppermost part lies another gold ornament, wrapping itself in a cylindrical fashion while having an open space near its center. However, its appearance changes at a constant because of the various abilities it possesses; the transformed blade not only became either slightly larger or smaller, but it changes colors according to the abilities it's using. It's known that certain magical abilities can used through the blade, thus allowing for a form of transmogrification — the blade creates various frequencies inside its being, assimilating the magical property flowed through it in question, exerting it outward and fusing with the lingering magical energies and eternano in the air. This causes said energies to be charged with the magic used through the blade, allowing it to take on certain properties pertaining to it; this is similar to how Argo uses Lacrima to enhance his overall abilities. It should be noted that the sword is sentient — it can act on its own accord; such an example is seen when it gives its wielders advice or tells it when it can be used and how to do so. Also, it has a fail-safe mechanism that activates whenever its owner's life is in danger; it uses its own magical energy to create a spherical barrier. Inside it, all damage will start to heal at an alarming rate and magic will quickly be restored. However, as it does so, the wielder is stuck in a stasis — they are unable to move. Also, the process takes about ten minutes or more, depending how the extensiveness of the life-threatening wounds inflicted. Most importantly, this ability can only be used once every battle; this is because it takes a great deal of magic. After that, the sword will be rendered useless, incapable of producing or gathering magic for such a time. It becomes a normal sword. It's recorded that there were exactly ten wielders of this blade; as of now, Haruto is its current wielder — he had the blade sometime before becoming the Head Captain of the Monoceras Royal Guard, always aiding him even after being put in a deep slumber. He can summon & dissipate the blade automatically, as it's one with his being, acting as a mere extension of himself; when this happens, it turns into golden dust.

Ploúto̱n (闇夜照明神性珠 (プロウトン), Purouton; Ancient Greek term for the Underworld Deity, Japanese for "Black Night Illuminating Deity Jewel"): A necklace that contains a dark & mysterious power. The pitch-black gem is encased in gold bone-like restraints, which, in fact, is forged from Grendel's remains. It's attached by a silver chain made from orichalcum. It was found in the corpse of Grendel after Haruto successfully slain the creature when he was still a knight in the Pergrande Kingdom. Strangely enough, the necklace attached itself to the young man without him knowing before he was put into a deep slumber when bathed in the creature's blood. It's only when Undine pointed it out during their first meeting that he paid any attention to it. In fact, he became even more curious about it. Haruto explained that, upon closer examination, that the gem contained some of Grendel's essence, along with that of its various victims that it either assimilated or killed when it was alive. Undine theorized that the pendant is the embodiment of the creature's core, the thing that gave it such immense power. Haruto, however, says that it's much more than that. What he means is unknown at this point. He decides to keep it in order to unlock the various secrets that it holds. Strangely enough, because of the nature of the creature it derives itself from, it can attract evil forces in great numbers, thus the reason why Haruto finds himself in many troublesome situations. The name came from Undine herself after doing a closer analysis of it in her lab. She stated that it contains various of other materials that aren't known to the magical world, going on to say that it's otherworldly. Throughout the storyline, Haruto is always seen with this necklace; he never once lets it go. He guards it viciously, to the point that no other person besides Undine can touch it. It's one of his most treasured keepsakes.

Celestina (別世界神聖兵器し強制破壊型 (セレスティーナ), Seresutīna; lit. "Otherworldly Force-Destroying Holy Armament"): Celestina is a prototype weapon that was given to Haruto by the upper echoleon of the Magic Council; he received it sometime before the beginning of Daybreak S2, using it on rare occasions. They deemed him as a test subject for one of the various series of "magic-driven weapons" developed by the Magic Council in their "E Project", a project with the goal of revolutionizing magic weapons-based combat forever. They also considered it as a 'thank-you' gift for his invaluable service, despite being unaware of their various hidden agendas. Also, it was originally planned to be given to Argo, but they opted for Haruto because he was a better swordsman, thus having much more use for it than the former. It's classified as a MC-EVSMS-V-Eternano Saber (ＭＣ (魔法評議) ・ＥＶＳＭＳ (実験可速魔刃) ・Ｖ (変離) ・エーテルナノ・セイバー, Mahō Hyōgi Jikken Kasokumajin Henkyori Ēterunano Seibā; lit. "Magic Council Experimental Variable Speed Magic Sword Variable Range Eternano Saber") or Eternano Saber for short, the first of its kind. Despite being the first, it's considered to be one of if the the most powerful of its kind. This is because it comes with many functions which give the wielder many advantages in combat. In its sealed form, it takes the form of a cybernetic hilt, modeled after a western-style sword and crafted from lacrima and orichalcum; it has a futuristic look to its overall design. He keeps it near his right side, attached to his belt when not in use. Like with all "magic-driven weapons" in the E Project, it has a small piece of lacrima at its core. When Haruto pours his magical energy into the blade, it generates a magic barrier in the shape of a blade, before filling the magic barrier shell with the his Magical Aura which becomes super-heated due to the magic barrier, producing an highly effective cutting blade. Strangely enough, a magic seal appears when this happens; it has a technological look to it, almost as if its made from pure data. Haruto guesses that since it was made by the technicians of the Magic Council, it's to be expected. The length is dependent on how much is normally poured into it, thus allowing for the modification of said length at any given time. It should be noted that the blade can cut through nearly any substance that it comes in contact with. This includes spells casted by other mages. The reason for this is because of the termination of the magic barrier along the defenses (or lack thereof) of a solid target, which allows the Magical Aura to devour the material that the target is composed of until the magic barrier reestablishes itself. It should be noted that, when up against another blade, regardless of its nature, it can disrupt its flow and slowly corrode it at its core, thus eventually breaking it down. This is because the super-heated magic particles that the Eternano Saber emits at all times. Specifically, the temperature of said super-heated magic particles is estimated to be 6381 °F (3527 °C) — which is the melting point of diamonds, one of the few materials that's harder than most, if not all metals. Not only that, the blade's vibration is extremely high; it's due to roughly 3,000,000 round trips per second being made around the edge. Strangely enough, despite the temperature it emits, it doesn't affect neither Haruto nor the hilt in any adverse way. The reason for this is because it keeps most of the pressure and heat contained within its specialized magical barrier. Only bits of heat escape from time to time, but it's not enough to cause any harm to itself nor the wielder. Despite having the ability to shape the blade into any other form due to being made from pure & highly pressurized Magical Aura, Haruto decides to keep it in blade form, only using it to either shorten or extend the blade. This is due to him being a swordsman foremost. He uses it in unison with his Tyrfing when facing either a multitude or powerful enemies; this allows him to display his prowess in dual swordsmanship, using both qualities of the respective sword to his advantage. On an interesting note, the name of the blade is derived from Haruto's now-deceased lover/fianceé, the princess of the Pergrande Kingdom & future successor to the throne. The two were engaged on the king's orders, but they fell for each other sometime prior. Somewhere in the storyline, Celestina was upgraded by Undine after she did a full analysis of the weapon, wanting Haruto & the others to get much stronger in order to face future threats. It now has more functions that Haruto can access to, but only under certain conditions.


 * Upgraded Form: The more advanced form of Celestina, it's much more powerful than in its base form. The magical output is much greater than before, estimated to be about ten times. This makes it one of the few weapons that can easily outclass any other blade or small-scale magical weapon, in general. This especially applies to the rest of the other magical weapons created by the Magic Council in the E Project. According to Haruto and Undine, the new name of this weapon replaces the old one upon the transformation. In this form, it's dubbed as DG-TVBI-HMA-Eternano Saber Zenith (DG (狂鬼才)・ TVBI (技術可変基づく情報)・ HMA (至高魔法兵器)・エーテルナノ・セイバー・ぜニス), Kyōkisai Shikō Gijutsu Kahen Motodzuku Jōhō Mahō Heiki Ēterunano Seibā Zenisu; lit. "Deranged Genius Technological Variable-Based Information Magical Armament Eternano Saber Zenith"); it signifies the upgrade that Celestina went through and the power it gains, as a result. It also signifies Undine's handiwork, as she's the one who did the deed. Having the same specs as before, there are a few noticeable differences. The first is that the blade becoming bigger — the same size as a buster sword or a zweihänder. Secondly, the cybernetic handle becomes even larger and extends outwards even further, transforming itself into something akin to the large end of a pair of scissors — it only has two pieces extending out of the center on each side; it's function is to not only keep the upgraded form of Celestina together but to help stabilize & regulate the weapon's energy output. This is because the blade's abilities have increased to such a degree. This is seen when it easily cleaves through multiple layers of various magical defenses with ease and completely stopped a high-level spell with little effort, all of which was done using the blade's functions alone and a little contribution on Haruto's part. Lastly, the overall color of said handle, becoming darker than before. Haruto noted that it's also bit heavier than before, but nothing that he can't handle; in fact, he confidently states that it's as light as a feather. Though it's a weapon that needs two hands in order to use, Haruto uses it with one because of his massive amounts of strength he has, despite his small stature that's been foolishly purported by various individuals in the series, which causes them to underestimate him greatly. Thus, he can switch between a one-handed and two-handed sword style at any given time. When combined with the sword's increased power and overall capabilities, it allows him to keep his opponents on their toes at all times, letting him gain the upper hand with ease. In this form, it can access a series of forms that were designed by Undine herself. They're affectionately dubbed as the Stjarnagarmr (白騎士の無数銀河征服武装 (スタールーつンガルム), Sutārūnāgarumu; Icelandic for "Planet-Hunter Tools", Japanese for "White Knight's Myriad Galaxy-Conquering Armaments") by both Haruto & the mad scientist, as it relates to Haruto's status as a knight, vast possibilities that the weapon possesses and innate ability to overcome any obstacle that stands against it. It's done through the use of several combinations of unique and highly-advanced programs she developed sometime in her life but never had the chance to use. Each one focuses on a specific aspect, maximizing it to the utmost limit. However, they can be done under certain conditions — specifically, when chanting an activation code and when Haruto flares his magical power to its pinnacle. One can say that this form of Celestina is, in fact, one of her most destructive inventions yet. Haruto tends to use this form more often, switching between this and the base form in various situations in order to end quickly while inflicting the most damage in a short frame of time. This form has been commonly seen in many of his fights later in the storyline, sometimes replacing his use of Tyrfing altogether for various reasons.
 * Activation Code: "Initiate Protocol No. 999! Activate Upgrades & Release All Limiters! User: Haruto Tsukaimei! Code: Celestina! Begin True Combat Phase!"


 * Asterisk Overdrive ζ – Tiamat: The defensive form that brings out the maximum power of Celestina, it's only activated after Haruto uses his Second Origin or pushes his magical energy to the limit. This form was one of the two that was unlocked by Haruto during his private training sessions in an attempt to fully master Celestina. In this form, it takes the appearance of a broad shield while still maintaining the aspects of a buster sword/zweihänder. It's much bigger and the cybernetic handle becomes more broad and detailed; it's curved at both ends having multiple layers of designs. This is most likely done on purpose in order to let out a vast amount of energy at a given time. Like with Celestina in its base form, there's a magic formula placed in the center; this is the same one seen when Celestina is activated. In this case, it's much bigger and more fortified than prior, acting as the centerpiece of the form's defensive focus; in short, it's a formula that acts as a shield, using the surrounding energies to both strengthen and stabilize it. It's been proven that whenever an attack hits it, regardless of strength, it's always reflected back to its point of origin, but magnified to a certain degree. Undine explains that it works by using the energy that it exudes as a bounce-off point; the attack hit the shield, it's briefly absorbed by said shield, it reverberates at a quick rate, and then expelled in the opposing direction. Basically, the concept works in the same way how light is reflected off of a shiny surface, in which it becoming brighter than before. Because it can be applied to virtually any offensive, this form is considered to be very useful to the point where it can almost be considered invincible. Normally, it can defend approximately three or four people at a time, Haruto included. But in the event that he wants to defend an attack that will harm multiple targets, Haruto can pour more energy into the shield, expanding it at will while still retaining its amazing fortification abilities. However, this method is highly advised against as it will leave at the brink of exhaustion, even for someone of his stature who possesses both loads of stamina and very large quantities of magical power. The mode can also take in certain spells, specifically ones of a defensive nature, magnifying it to a high degree and exerting it outward; this gives it the ability to utilize various defenses aside from its usual one. Since it's mainly for defense, however, lacking any offensive qualities, Haruto would need to use his other forms of combat in order to deal damage. Strangely enough, the shape of it makes it look like a blade that's embedded into the ground because the end is somewhat flat and wide. Since it belongs to the Stjarnagarmr series, the mode's name will reflect as such. In this case, it's Stjarnagarmr Initial Phase: Asterisk Overdrive ζ – Tiamat (白騎士の無数銀河征服武装・初期の種々可能性・有効過労の天体・悪獣の原生鱗 (スタールーつンガルム・イニシャル・フェイズ・アスタリスク・オーバードライブ・ゼータ・ティアマト), Sutārūtsungarumu Inisharu Feizu: Asutarisuku Ōbādoraibu Zeta – Tiamato; lit. "White Knight's Myriad Galaxy-Conquering Armaments – Foundation Stage of Various Possibilities: In-Force Overworking of the Heavenly Bodies – Evil Beast's Impenetrable Scales"); it signifies the immense fortification that the mode carries, using various magic formulas to provide for an impenetrable defense. However, it also expresses the lack of offensive power and the need for outside assistance. Thus, Haruto uses this form to defend against techniques that can't be blocked by normal means or prove to be too great for him to handle alone. On an interesting note, like the offensive variant, Haruto's hair is affected when he uses this form, standing up on end because of the suddenly massive influx of energy released from the blade. Not only that, it produces a great wind current that fans out in all directions; it has enough power to knock down trees with ease and damage other magical defenses. He uses this mode during a sparring match against Jin and Kairi, fending off their strongest attacks without any repercussions to his person.
 * Activation Code: "Begin Defensive Phase! Activate Asterisk Program! Recognize Potential Enemy Threat! Route All Energy to Shields! Enter: Omni-Preservation Mode!"


 * Juggernaut Breakthrough Δ – Bahamut: The offensive form that brings out the maximum power of Celestina, it's only activated after Haruto uses his Second Origin or pushes his magical energy to the limit. Thus, the blade's energy output is increased to mind-staggering levels. So much so, that Undine stated that it exceeded her expectations when it was first used during the testing phase. In this form, it takes the appearance of a much larger buster sword/zweihänder; the hilt is much more narrow yet maintains its overall shape and color scheme. The edge pieces are merely a bigger version than in the base form. The most noticeable difference, however, is the blade itself. Because a large amount of magical energy is flowing out and magnified to such an immeasurable degree, the blade is larger and more defined; the very edges are flaring outwards to some extent because of such a sudden burst released in a single moment. Not only that, since there's more energy being released, the temperature also rises; it's approximately three times greater than in the upgraded form. This gives it the ability to easily slice through anything it touches, not leaving a trace remaining; this is proven to be true during the testing phase. When Haruto used it, a single swing was able to destroy the test drones while producing a shockwave that dealt damage to the simulation room that he was in and created tremors that nearly led to the outer edges of the testing lab. There seems to be a constant form of electrical discharge around the blade as the result of the factors mentioned above. Not only that, a large magical formula is seen around the base of the blade, taking the form of the one used by the Magic Council technicians. The formula not only helps stabilize the energy output of the blade, focusing it to certain parts, but helps magnify any offensive techniques that Haruto uses. This would mean that if an offensive spell were to be flown into the blade, it's power would be magnified, becoming nearly ten times greater than before and the range would become broader. This would mean that a single spell, regardless of level, would be able to wipe out an entire range of opponents with mere ease. When Undine studied the data pertaining to this form, she equates it to Tsuruko Sejren's Prototype-00 Revised: Longinus Blade Armament No.99 – Halvanhelev, which has nearly the exact same abilities. In fact, she calls this form the exact twin of the Halvanhelev for said reasons, further stating that if the two blades were to ever clash, a stalemate would be reached. However, despite its excellent offensive functions, it has a trade-off: its defense suffers. Because energy is focused on certain parts of the blade, it leaves other areas vulnerable. Even if the material is made out of the strongest metal in the Daybreakverse, it can still be damaged. Luckily, it's very durable as it can withstand multiple heavy blows. Like the other forms, it belongs to the Stjarnagarmr series. Thus, the mode's name will reflect as such. In this case, its Stjarnagarmr Next Phase: Juggernaut Breakthrough Δ – Bahamut  (白騎士の無数銀河征服武装・次期の乗力・三つ拠点制限解放の人・全殺戦争神牙の暴れ幻獣 (スタールーつンガルム・ネクスト・フェイズ・ジャガーノート・ブレークスルー・デルタ・バハムート), Sutārūtsungarumu Nekusuto Feizu: Jagānōto Burēkusurū Deruta – Bahamūto; lit. "White Knight's Myriad Galaxy-Conquering Armaments – Next Stage of Ever-Growing Power: Three-Point Limitation Release of Man – Rampaging Phantom Beast's All-Killing War God Fangs"); it basically represents the blade's power at its utmost limits, having enough power to slay any individual that stands against it, regardless of the target's nature. However, in the same sense, it has lower defensive power than before, despite its appearance. As stated before, this is due to  all the power being focused on certain parts of the weapon. Haruto stated that this form represents his resolve to protect those dear to him through any means necessary. Thus, he uses it against opponents who he deems as a threat to his existence and cause. On an interesting note, like the defensive variant, Haruto's hair is affected when he uses this form, standing up on end because of the suddenly massive influx of energy released from the blade. Not only that, he becomes surrounded in a pillar of pure magical energy. He openly stated that this is his favorite form to use because of various reasons, none of which have been mentioned but implied in certain instances. He officially uses this mode sometime later in Daybreak when he was fighting against, and eventually defeated, a powerful enemy while defending a client while on one of his various missions on behalf of the Magic Council.
 * Activation Code: "Enemy Recognition, Initiate Offensive Formation! Release All Limiters & Begin Upgrade Functions! Maximize Energy Output! All Potential Threats Must Be Eliminated! Kick Into Overdrive! Enter: Delta-Force Annihilation!"


 * Zenith Synchronize Ω – Fafnir: This function was recently installed in the upgraded form of Celestina after seeing the various weaknesses in the previous form. The purpose behind it was to test the possibility of ancient swords and high-class technology working as one. It was also done for Haruto's sake since she wanted him to get used to the technology of the current era while still keeping in contact with his old customs. However, Undine had much trouble because vast gap between the differences of ancient and the modern. Not only that, she didn't have that much information to go on about Haruto's time. It was only when she did more research on Haruto's biology and studied his cranial structure, specifically his memories, did she come to a successful conclusion. She was also able to study Tyrfing with this new information, installing a program into Celestina that would allow it to assimilate ancient forms of magic into its being. It's only when she did a test-run with Haruto, wanting him to try out its new function, that she finally succeeded in accomplishing her goal. Thus, with the genesis of this new form, Haruto had the ultimate weapon that's able to combat any and all threats that he would come up against. According to Haruto, the name of this form that Undine gave it were like all the others — its signifies being a variant in the Stjarnagarmr series. In this case, it's Stjarnagarmr Ultimate Phase: Zenith Synchronize Ω – Fafnir (白騎士の無数銀河征服武装・極の完全無欠期・天地同期式の頂点・来世恵みの天体龍 (スタールーつンガルム・アルティメット・フェイズ・ぜニス・シンクロナイズ・オメガ・ファフニール), Sutārūtsungarumu Arutimetto Feizu: Zenisu Shinkuronaizu Omega – Fafunīru; lit. "White Knight's Myriad Galaxy-Conquering Armaments – Pinnacle Stage of Flawless Beauty: Vertex of Heaven and Earth's Unison – Celestial Dragon's Blessings of the Afterlife"); it signifies the balance between the ancient and the modern while still keeping towards its overall theme. As stated before, it's the penultimate fusion of Tyrfing and Celestina, thus its overall appearance will reflect this fact. It takes on a peculiar form; in fact, it's much closer to the base form Celestina if anything. The blade takes the shape of a darkened, yet razor-sharp katana, representing traits belonging to Tyrfing. The hilt is similar to Celestina's but is much longer and having more of a complicated design to it. A noticeable trait is the lack of bulky edges seen in the prior forms, having "slimmed down"; this is due to the form taking the necessary steps to fill in all the gaps the previous forms held. However, a larger piece is seen on the right-hand side and reaches towards the lower-middle part of the blade. It's known that the energy output is much greater. Strangely enough, it's not visibly seen. It's only when Undine found out that it was spread evenly throughout the blade that she installed another program that prevented said energies from ever hurting Haruto in any given case. This program altered the form only slightly, allowing to produce gauntlets and leg protection for the young man, leading up to the joint area in respective cases. Like in the offensive form, there seems to be an electrical discharge that constantly surrounds the blade. However, it's black in coloration. Strangely enough, there seems to be a lack of a magical formula, unlike the previous forms, much to Haruto's confusion. Undine explains that the programs installed override certain ones used by the Magic Council technicians; this was done so that it becomes not only reliant on Haruto's powers, but being able to utilize the powers of Tyrfing more effectively. When Haruto tested the blade's capabilities, magic runes began to coil around the blade upon drawing out the energy from it; he recognized them as the same ones used by Tyrfing and its previous wielders, thus deducing Undine's reasoning to be true. This also served as a somewhat nostalgic reminder of how his magic works, where it comes from, and what it truly represents. Overall, the form resembles an artificial, over-sized . It doesn't reflect just in the appearance, but in its overall abilities as well. As stated before, it's considered to be the ultimate form change because of said abilities deriving from both blades used in the unison. So it's understandable if it has the powers of both, but magnified to a very high degree. Such examples include nullification of most magics — regardless of origins, amplification of spells through the blade, extremely high offensive and defensive power, and the ability to produce its own magic. Also, it still retains Tyrfing's sentience, thus is able to communicate with Haruto at any given time or act on its own accord in order to preserve either its own or its master's life. The magic runes it constantly produces creates a slew of versatile effects, most of which tend to be mysterious in nature. It's unknown if it has any other abilities besides those here, but Haruto hinted it's a possibility because of it's unlimited potential; he would have to get stronger in order to unlock more. It was stated by Haruto that this form took longer to master because he had to perfectly synchronize with the two powers that make its being. Precisely, it took him five months to not only grasp the concepts behind the new function, but to unlock some of the various powers and benefits it grants him. He even admits that he barely scratched the surface with this form. He also states that the capabilities of this form surpasses all others, being the ultimate fusion between offense, defense, and support — another reason for its name. However, despite all of this, it has a two or three weaknesses. One is that it can be used for a short time and another is that it takes much magical energy to properly utilize. This means that he needs his Second Origin to use it, despite having immense reserves of magical energy. Lastly, and probably the most obvious one, he needs to summon Tyrfing in order for it to become accessible. Not only that, both Tyrfing and Celestina need to be layered one on top of the other while activation code is being recited. Haruto stated that he will only use this function if all else fails, the power it possesses is enough to fell any individual that's foolish enough to face it. Like with the previous forms, it has an activation code that needs to be recited in order for it to be accessed. He uses this form when he was fighting against some of the members of Team Daybreak, along with the others, by Undine's command, using it as a test-run of sorts.
 * Activation Code: "Begin Synchronization of Two Opposing Forces. Recognize Tyrfing, Recognize Celestina! Go into Full-Throttle! Perform Updates for the Final Sequence! Enter Ultimate Formation! Activate: Code Omega Fafnir!"

Quotes

 * "That sounds like a vicious and rude-mannered woman to me master; she sorely lacks manners and etiquette from what I'm hearing. I highly doubt she has any form of morals to follow. Nevertheless, if she was able to defeat this "Joker" person with ease, she must be a formidable opponent. I'll be sure to watch out for her and her actions." — Haruto about the Virgo Symbiote upon hearing about her from Undine.
 * "W-w-w-w-what are you doing, master?! That's my—! I'm not even gonna finish that! But this is totally inappropriate of someone of your status! Please, I implore you to stop! This is too embarrassing....!" — Haruto's reaction to Undine's jokes towards him, Jin, and Argo about their "male prides", much to her amusement.
 * "There's no honor in hurting those who can't put up a decent fight. It's not worth it. Now, I implore you to stop! If you cease to do so, then I will have no choice but to step in for their stead and I assure you, it's something you don't want. I won't go easy on you!" — Haruto when standing-up to a thug bullying a civilian.
 * "Wow! This Tsuruko Sejren person sounds like an upright fellow. She defines the true meaning of "law-abiding citizen". She's just like us; she fights for those who can't defend themselves. Not only that, she has comrades she can rely on to back her. Man, I wish I can meet her once and have a proper bout with her. If possible, I would like to become friends with her!" — Haruto's admiration towards Tsuruko upon learning about her ideals and actions from Undine.
 * "Those guys.....! I hate their type! They think that they can come here and walk all over us like they own the place! They think that they can hurt everyone around them, acting like it's the normal thing to do! Well, people have feelings too. We suffer like everyone else. We're not something to be abused to another being's liking! That's it! I will never allow such actions to pass-by! My heart is screaming, calling out to me! It's saying to kick their damn teeth in for acting in such a manner! Someone needs to teach them some manners and I'll be glad to do such a task!" — Haruto showing complete abhorrence towards the actions of Zodiac Knights.
 * "U-um, miss? This feels awkward.... I dunno what's going on. I don't even know how I ended up in this situation. It feels weird to me. Could you explain everything to me? I guess you can call me a "rube" for being so impolite right now." — Haruto expressing his discomfort & awkwardness towards a female during a casual conversation.
 * "Fwaaah~! Such an amazing timeline to be in! So many new things to explore, so little time. I never knew the future would be like this! Looking around, there's so many things I haven't seen! Ooohhhhh~! It's so heart-warming, I can't simply contain myself! Thank god I'm alive to see such a sight! I wonder what I should try first? I must *ehem* "investigate" these wonders slowly but surely. That way, I can experience everything at my own pace." — Haruto showing his amazement towards the current era he's in after waking up from his deep slumber.

- Lord Arceus

Jin Daisenkō (仁戴閃光, Daisenkō Jin) is a supporting character that appears in S2 of Daybreak: A Change in Perspective; he serves as one of the driving forces behind Argo's actions. Not only that, he's seen as the comic-relief character of the series, at least one of them anyways — his antics always ends him being some sort of comical situation of sorts, whether it was intended or accidental. Hailing from the infamous Daisenkō Clan — which excels in all form of military combat, he is one of the top-foremost technicians of the Magic Council, helping them develop and enact various projects on their behalf, and acts as one of its Rune Knight Captains. He's the best friend and surrogate brother of Argo Hiyamori; the two sharing many similarities as seen & mentioned in various parts of the storyline. By extension, he's the surrogate brother to both Kairi Chiyami — the top-student at La Pucelle, and Haruto Tsukaimei — a member of the Ten Wizard Saints and a fellow Rune Knight, respectively; he cherishes them as if they were his own family. He's also the Kōhai (後輩, lit. "Junior") of Deen Lhant, who acts as his mentor from time-to-time; the two share a close bond of sorts. It's later revealed in the story that he's the cousin of the illustrious Zariyana Lustfield, their families related by marriage which happened somewhere in the past.

In contrast with his goofy & happy-go-lucky persona, he's been recognized and feared by many within the storyline, recorded to be one of the more powerful fighters; he's able to perform feats that are normally considered to be inhuman. This is evident by his status of Super Soldier (超兵, Chōhei); he went through the same procedure that Argo went through — funded by the upper echoleon of the Magic Council, but his was done to a lesser-degree on his wishes because of he stated that he wanted to enhance certain aspects of his being. His infamous status gained him various titles; this includes titles such as "Explosive Light Fist Master" (爆光拳達人, Bakukōken Tatsujin) — which is based on his usage of two magics simultaneously in-order to enhance his fighting style, making it one of the most deadly in the series, and "White Horseman of Unholy Conquest" (不浄戦の白騎士, Fujōsen no Byakishi) for leaving a trail of destruction wherever he goes & against whomever he fights. Jin's been known to gain many enemies & made many allies over the course of his career; some of them are from various other countries. Like Argo, he could effortlessly stand up to the likes of the Zodiac Knights & other dangerous individuals of the same level. He's also a graduate of La Pucelle, being its previous top-student before his recruitment; he's also the most recognized Suzaku-class student ever birthed within the school's history because of his various achievements. Thus, all the students in that household gave him the title "King of the Vermillion Birds" (朱雀王, Suzakuō), which was done much to his embarrassment. For his various deeds done in the name of the Magic Council, along with his unwavering courage & high intelligence, he was promoted to the rank of Wizard Saint, thus becoming one of the Ten Wizard Saints like Argo & Haruto — something he's been desperately working toward, not wanting to be in the shadows of his two fellow compatriots.

On a side-note, he knows the existence of the Soul Armours, its bearers, & their main purposes — mainly from fairy tales & Argo's various rants; he secretly wishes to become one, as his dream is become a Grand Hero of Justice. He seems to admire them in a similar manner to that of a child, something he's been either comically tormented for and/or scolded for by other individuals within the council. Like Argo, he tends to help out Team Daybreak in various cases, seeing them as upstanding individuals; this holds true specifically for Tsuruko Sejren — taking an advert interest in her & her ideology. His dream later comes true; through a sequence of unfortunate events, in an attempt to gain better offensive measures for future threats, he obtains a Soul Armour from Undine. This came at the request of Argo & the others, seeing him as a necessary future element to their overall plans, unbeknownst to the young man. When donning it, Jin calls himself Soul Armour Knight Trobolla (神鎧纏最高戦士今後運命 (ソウル・アーマー・ナイト・トロボーラ) Sōru Āmā Naito Toroboura; lit. meaning "God-Armour-Clad Supreme Warrior Forthcoming Destiny"); he can now live out his most heart-filled desire. He's gained even more power to aid & protect those precious to him. He later introduces Argo to his cousin, Zariyana Lustfield — the future matriarch of the Lustfield Family. The two are later engaged to each other through an arranged political marriage on the orders of the Magic Council; this is to ensure the Lustfield Family is assimilated into the council itself, possessing the funds needed to continue their various projects and possessing members who could be potential Rune Knights. This would technically make him Argo's future brother-in-law, and by extension, Kairi, and the son-in-law of Undine; it's something that excites him to no ends. He also becomes acquainted with Oz Feyginmore — one of the Magic Council's most primary benefactors, the two sharing a close relationship of sorts.

Appearance
Jin is described on many occasions as either "handsome" or "sexy" on many instances; his background and his intellect tends to play on this, further boosting his overall appeal in the eyes of those that either know him or have met him for the first time. In fact, when he was still at La Pucelle, he was always part of the "in-group", his looks being one of the many determining factors of this. When Deen first met him, he described him as a "typical bishōnen", denoting to the fact that Jin is a person who's known solely for his looks — something that tends to be disproven later on, as he has other contributing qualities that make him a unique individual. Like Argo, an individual of equal attractiveness, he tends to attract the attention of several characters within the series, despite them having interests in other people. Also, like Argo, he's been featured multiple times in Sorcerer's Magazine, being highly ranked in the Top Five of “Mage you want to have as a Boyfriend”; unlike the former, however, he's actually oblivious to it; it's something that's seen in a comical light, as its pointed out to him multiple times by either Argo or Deen only to forget it either five or ten minutes later. It should be noted that, like Argo, he has a remarkable air of confidence and stoicism surrounding him; this tends to clash with him characteristically on many cases, unlike the former. However, it's because of this trait that the two are so friendly with other.

It's known that Jin had a difficult childhood; he was constantly training to become strong, meeting up to his clan's expectations, despite him being a prodigy in his own right. He went through harsh trials & tribulations all of his life, some of which he personally believed that would kill him many times over. But with perseverance, with some overwhelming support from his loved ones, he survived. This later moved into his days spent as a Suzaku student at La Pucelle and going through the harsh training of the Rune Knights, eventually becoming its captain in due time. All these experiences are reflected on his overall appearance — one befitting someone of his kind. He possesses a heightened physical stature — one that easily rivals Argo's very own, which adds to the air of intimidation that surrounds him; he's shown to be a very well-built & muscular young man. He holds a broad build, with a full set of muscles around his abdomen, back, and arms, but most evidently his legs, which are rarely revealed to anyone thanks to his choice of clothing. After his modifications into a Super Soldier, which was done on the orders of both his family & upper echelons of the Magic Council in order to further improve his overall stature in an attempt of turning him into the perfect fighter, he's become a bit more muscular than before; however, it's not really noticeable, still looking the same as before. Even Argo noted that he hasn't change much when he first saw him after going through such a procedure. Jin possesses cream-colored skin, which is noted to be a bit rough, which is expected given what he went through, and possesses black-colored hair which brushes near his silver-colored eyes. He's bespectacled, thus tends to wear glasses from time-to-time; it should be noted that he's usually seen without it because he prefers to wear contacts. Locked within them is that of conviction and passion, constantly wanting to improve himself on a daily basis — becoming even stronger than before. A comical note made by Undine on many occasions is that, like Haruto and Argo, he's *ehem* "well-endowed" — something that she makes fun of for all three of them; she found out this fact when she performs monthly exams on them in-order to check up on her children/test subject's overall health amongst other things. This is ironic as Undine isn't considered to be Jin's actual parent, although she treats him as such for obvious reasons. It seems that, like the other two, he gets flustered when she brings up this topic — especially in-front of Kairi, who's clueless on what she means; either he or the other two would often try to shift the subject, much to her amusement.

It's known that like Argo & Kairi, he wears two sets of attire throughout the series; they both possess a sense of practicality while having some sort of fashion sense to them. The first is for work; it's usually the one he's seen in the most. Consisting of a dark sleeveless tank-top that goes right up to his neck, which shows much of his muscular frame specifically his chest and abdomen, he wears a white jacket, with three badges, one of which appears to be the insignia of his clan. It's considered to be one of his most priceless pieces of his clothing, as it was made for him by his now-deceased mother. He tends to take care of it above all of his other clothing; it's made from an extremely tough & durable material, thus it's very hard to damage it. He also wears a pair of dark-brown pants which, when stuffed in his laced, single-strapped combat-boots and gathered at his upper part of his legs, produces a "ballooning effect". It's topped off with a dark grey clipped, black belt & a pair of dark-colored fingerless gloves. Overall, he takes the appearance of a true military man, one dedicated to his job. Ironically enough, it's been noted by several individuals, specifically Deen himself, that him & Argo dress alike — something said much to their obliviousness and later their embarrassment; given that the two are best friends, they don't seem care; in-fact, it only brought them closer.

His second attire is seen for when he hangs out or when he has free-time. This attire tends to fit him more characteristically, making him look more like a "high-school delinquent", if any. It consists of a white shirt — with ragged edges near the bottom, a dark-colored stylized jacket with various white-linings and orange interior, having gold buttons near the bottom and gold medallion on the popped-up collar, a dark-colored pair of jeans stylized in the same fashion as his jacket except that it has a yellow interior instead of orange, the bottoms slightly rolled up, a pair of silver-colored socks and topped off with a pair of fashionable sneakers; oddly enough, these have Lacrima imbued into them. It's unknown whether this was done on purpose or if they actually serve some sort of purposes. Only Jin knows the answer to that question. Like in his first attire, Jin also wears a pair of dark-colored fingerless gloves that are designed in the similar fashion as his jacket and pants. Also, in some cases, he's seen with a pair of crimson-tinted sunglasses, which normally sits on top of his head. This outfit is combat-oriented, being the same level as his first one; if he gets into any trouble, he can fight freely without being limited by his clothing in any way, shape, or form.

It's known that for comical persons, whenever Jin gets into any form of trouble with another characters, does anything ridiculous, or feels any form of comical emotions, he turns droopy and super deformed, which is strangely designed after a tare panda. He tends to be the same size as an average baby in this state and everything about him tends to lean towards the concepts of "cute" and "cuddly". He tends to be comically beaten up by either Undine, Kairi, Argo, or Deen whilst in this state, which he would then comically cry to Haruto in most cases; because of the latter's personality, he would often comfort him than gently chastise him for his actions, only to be chastise himself by the others for shielding him very often, which would become somewhat of a running gag in the series. To further the comical purposes of this state, Jin can fit into the tightest of places, run super fast, and is very durable — only crying in certain instances when struck hard enough. It's noted that he tends to travel either in someone's arms or on top of their head whilst in this state; the common person exposed to this is either Kairi, who's often expressed her annoyance at this — telling him to act his age, Haruto — who doesn't really mind but tends to get flustered at times because it happens randomly, thus tells Jin at times to give him some sorta sign before doing it so he won't be caught off-guard, or Argo — who usually doesn't care as he's his best friend. He's noted to be incredibly squishy like a plushy, thus he feels very soft and comfortable when he's hugged or squeezed as noted by several of the people he encounters in the storyline.

Equipment & Inventions
Midgard (神光の保護武器 (ミッドガルド) Middogarudo; Old Norse for "Middle Enclosure", Japanese for "Protective Arms of the Divine Light") is the signature weapon of Jin; it was of his own creation, generated after hearing of the Divine Tools from one of Argo's many rantings. Jealous of the fact that Argo got a leg-up on him via. weaponry, he decided to create his own; he based it off of his own vast knowledge. During his time at La Pucelle, Jin was hailed as one of the greatest technological & weapons experts there is, so much so that he's familiar with the designs of any known weapon — he can use it to their full capacity; this isn't typical, coming from one of the most-renown combat-based families known in Earthland, whose generation of clan members joined the greatest of military armies and factions, later becoming the greatest of military leaders and politicians. When he joined the Rune Knights, he was their weapons technician before becoming a captain; thus, creating high-tech & fixing weapons were but a mere breeze to him. After closely analyzing his own fighting style and observing his magics, he decided the type of weapon he wanted to create. However, he needed a model. Going to Undine for advice & more information, the head scientist gave her a data disk containing information of all the Divine Tools — specs, background, abilities, the whole nine; this was thanks for being such long-term friends with Argo, giving him the peace of mind he so desperately desired for quite a while. Accessing the disk at the nearest terminal, he flipped through the list of Divine Tools until he encountered the one he desired — Ryūsenga, the Divine Tool of Explosions. This weapon fit all the requirements. After studying the specs for hours on end and gaining access to the materials needed via. Undine's graces, he spend exactly three days working and properly refining the weapon that'll make him Argo's equal. The end result were phenomenal; he had finally succeeded in his goal. Taking the form of bracelets at first, but when activated at will, they cover Jin's hands and forearm as gauntlets. The gauntlets have a silver color witha crimson tint to them; it should be noted that they're made from Orichalcum, the hardest known metal in the Daybreakverse, making it nigh indestructible and extremely durable; however, with enough force, the gauntlets can be damaged to some extent; this has yet to remain seen, as no one has been able to damage them thus far. The shells wrapped around it are green and orange, created using the same material; they act as single barrel shotguns, which are fired with a piston mechanism. Each magazine consists of 24 shells, giving 48 shots in total when both gauntlets are fully loaded; once these shells have been spent, they will regenerate with time when magical power is flowed into them; another viable option is that Jin can carry spares in-case he runs out, which he does. In order to be activated, Jin programmed the pistons to go up and down in a cylinder built-into the gauntlets; when it is up, magical energy contained in the shells wrapped around the gauntlets is injected and ignited by the reaction between Midgard and the magical energy. This causes the magical energy to build up and explode once it is ejected from the gauntlets, transforming into beams of energy which possess impressive piercing power and swiftness. Jin also programmed it to utilize either incendiary or explosive rounds, as they generate a sort of flame effect after being fired, often blasting enemies far backward. They are also incredibly powerful, as a single punch from Jin knocked an entire surface on a random battlefield outwards in a wave-like quake movement, knocking multiple foes off their feet with ease; this was done during his initial test-run, which produced multiple positive results. Interestingly enough, Midgard also has the ability to absorb magical power from the area in order to drastically increase Jin's attack and defense power by an inhuman amount, enough that he can one-hit-kill certain foes. Despite this, the ability cannot be employed simultaneously with other abilities; it's either attack or defense, not both. When he showed off these weapons in a excited fashion to Argo, the former was comically shocked to see how much damage they inflicted. However, he was also happy knowing that his best friend increased his strength even further. When the two tested their weapons against one another, it's found out that Argo's weapon is a bit more powerful; this is typical as it's a Divine Tool despite its re-modifications. However, Argo still recognizes Jin's genius in creating such weapons, openly stating that his intellect might be comparable to that of his foster mother's — it was something that made Jin blush in embarrassment, saying that the former still surpasses him by leaps and bounds; it was merely derived from his knowledge of various types of weaponry as he further commented. This weapon is the signature of Jin's; he's able to use it in-tandem with his other magic, allowing to deal heavy blows to his opponents and maximizing any and all of his destructive power. is the name of the known realm where human beings reside in Old Norse Mythology; it's also considered to be one of the Nine Worlds.
 * Laser Sword Function: Something that Jin personally installed into Midgard, his weapon can create a blade made from pure eternano from its person at any given time. This is done through the activation of a program that Jin created to better suit his fighting style. The blade is known to be very sharp, as the energies surrounding its edge vibrate at the same frequency as a chainsaw. This lets it cut through even the most durable of materials with little difficulty. He mainly uses this function when dealing with bladed opponents, wanting an opportunity to outmatch them in an even fight.
 * Built-In Archive Monitor: Another function of Midgard that Jin installed through the use of a datachip he obtained from Undine. It's also considered to be his most useful. By tapping a few invisible buttons located on Midgard's surface, Jin is able to access an Archive-based monitor that allows him to perform certain functions Some of them include communication with his allies, searching for information, de-coding and hacking various software, and remote control access to his inventions. However, it's not meant for battle-use, unlike the original Archive. One can see it as a personal computer if anything, something that Jin and Argo both attest to at times. This can be further proven as the screen is noted to be a bit smaller than the normal Archive screen.

Jin's Keepsake: This badge is a gift from Argo upon the former's successful modifications to become a Super Soldier, brought from one of the antique shops near Hargeon; it also one of the symbols of their deep relationship they have with each other. Colored gold and taking the form of a small, but wide pentagram-shaped medallion, it has the design of a dark-colored skull in the center with four dark-colored bars extending from its being, reaching the for corner-most sections. It's connected by a thin yet durable silver-chain crafted through the use of Argo's Iron-Make; he either keeps it attached to his pants or hangs it around his neck like a piece of jewelry. It's known that Jin always keeps it on his person, never losing sight of it; it's a rarity to see him without it. Oddly enough, it's very receptive to Eternano and other forms of energy, absorbing it and storing it inside its person for later uses; however, since the device is small, it can only hold so much at once. He even stated that its one of his most prized possessions. It later becomes the focal point of his Soul Armour transformation; through it, he becomes Soul Armour Knight Trobolla.

Magics & Abilities
"This kid..... I can tell, his level nearly matches that of any individual in the Rune Knights....! No, even more so. It's no surprise that he can become one of the Ten Wizard Saints like many people's been saying as of late. Albeit, I can also tell that he isn't aware of it yet, smart as he may be. He's a well-balanced fighter with intellect to match. No wonder many people respect him; even his clan members noted that he's the best of their current generation, and they're hard-line combat freaks! So it must be true.... But they say "Don't judge a book by its cover." We'll see when he actually fights in a real battle."

Quotes

 * "But Argo~! It wasn't my fault! Y'see it wouldn't have happened if she wasn't being "that gal". Y'know, the one that's always annoying and has to be the center of attention. But it's kinda your fault too since you were there and laughing at that the entire time! So~, there's that. I guess...... IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" — Jin's comical quip in one of his casual arguments with his best friend.
 * "There are certain topics that I see as inconsequential or have some sorta potential behind them. This is because they either have no true value to them or they could develop as time goes on. It extends to anything really; if it doesn't pertain to my interests in some way, then it has no true value. The opposite is true. As evil and jaded as that may sound, it's the truth." — Jin talking about his point-of-view on certain topics.
 * "Well.... if you sooo~ curious about it, why don't I just show you?! But just to let you know, the moment you do I suggest you duck. When I turn left, I don't wanna smack you with it. I'm not gonna be accused of some overly sinful and perverse act. It's not really my style. I mean think my reputation here. If it ever gets out, I might lose my job and my & my family's social standing will plummet considerably. Y'know, because I represent them and all that shit. Now, are still curious to see it after all that I just told you? — Jin's smartass comment towards Undine when she casually talks about something perverted.
 * "C'mon~! Don't be such a stickler, Kairi-chan! At least lemme get one stinking sweet! I haven't had any like in a minute! What if it was you and your stuffed animals you seem to adore? I wouldn't wanna deprive you of that, now would you? Please, for the love for all that is sweet and full of yum-yums, don't be "that chick" — the one that acts like a spoiled prick. How about this? If you let me get it, I'll let you do anything you want to me. And I do mean anything. So how about it, nee nee?" — Jin comically showing his immaturity towards Kairi when wanting sweets.
 * "Hey bastard! What the hell do you think you're doing to that person?! Did they do anything to you?! I suggest you leave them be, pack your shit, and scram! Now! Go to the scum-infested hole you crawled out of. If you don't, I assure you of one thing: you demise will be imminent! Y'know what, fuck it. I'm pissed off as it is; it's all your fault. If you hadn't shown your face and do what you just did, you might've lived longer! But no, you had to pull this stupid crap. Now prepare yourself. When I'm done, you will wish you had come into existence....!" — Jin's anger when a member of the Zodiac Knights hurts a civilian; he eventually challenges him to a fight.
 * "There are only a few people who have earned my respect; I recognize them as extraordinary beings. But there are two who constantly capture my amazement time and time again. The first is my superior and the current head of the Rune Knights — Deen-senpai. Even though he has no magical power to speak of, he has the skills to outdo any mage; he proves that magic isn't all as cracked up as we tend to make it out. Not only that, he has great leadership skills and is truly kind and compassionate to those under him. He's the perfect model for all aspiring knights and mages everywhere. The second is the adviser at La Pucelle; from what Undine's telling me, he came from the Sengoku Era and is friends with Giselle Mercury-san. His name is Zanma-san. He's very honorable and chivalrous; he deeply respects those around him and defends the innocent from harm. He trusts his comrades and always looks out for them. Despite this unfamiliarity with this world, it doesn't impede his skills. I heard his swordsmanship is like poetry in motion — lethal yet elegant, having the strength to fell any individual that stands against him. These two, they're the perfect people to look up to in my opinion. To think that they're on the same team as Tsuruko-san. I wonder if they are friends with each other? Man, I wish I could be close friends with both of them! They're both swell guys to hang out with if you ask me." — Jin showing his admiration & high-held respect towards his superior & his idol in a conversation.
 * "I see..... This kid has lots of potential ahead of him. He has incredible amounts of strength. Almost rivals mine's and Argo's respectively. Not only that, he's quick on his feet. He can also take a hard punch and act like it was a mosquito bite. What's more, despite being a brutish fighter, he's intellectual; he can come up with a plan of attack if the need arises. Damn, this guy is almost well-rounded. And to think that he's a Suzaku-class student, those who specialize in pure offense, like I used to be. I can tell that those who go up against him will have a difficult time beating them; he doesn't make things easy for an opponent — regardless of who they are. But most of all, he's caring at his core despite his somewhat icy demeanor; he would risk his life in order to save and protect his comrades & loved ones. I swear, we will fight one day; when that happens, one of us might get killed. But for now, he can get stronger. A lot stronger. It was the same way with me when I first joined the Rune Knights." — Jin talking about Gary Straights after analyzing his combat-strength.

- Lord Arceus

Undine Hoshikagumi (水精星火組, Hoshigumi ənˈdēn) is a deuteragonist debuting in season 2 of Daybreak: A Change of Perspective; she's known to be one of the first symbiotes to ever exist. However, everything about her past is a complete mystery. She's a leading scientist that's credited for inventing many things of the modern world, along with her arch-rival — Giselle Mercury; in fact, she's noted to be her foil in every conceivable way. This leads the two to have many bouts in wits during various occasions of the storyline.

It's known that through certain means, she adopted two children, which she cares much for; Kairi Chiyami, a fellow student at La Pucelle, who seems to taken an interest in Tsuruko Sejren and the rest of Team Daybreak, and Argo Hiyamori, who works as an undercover spy for the Magic Council and a close associate of Deen Lhant, a captain of the Rune Knights. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, these two actually serve as two of the minor antagonist in the series; they secretly initiate a chain of reoccurring problems that fits in to their mother's grandiose scheme upon her command. She's later acquainted with Jin Daisenkō, Argo's best friend, through comical circumstances. She "adopts" him because he has a good influence on her two children. She also "adopts" Haruto Tsukaimei — the ancient legendary hero of the Pergrande Kingdom, the latter becoming her servant in gratitude of taking care of him. Through unknown circumstances, she acquainted with Oz Feyginmore — a student at La Pucelle and her biggest benefactor, having taken interests in her plans. Lastly, it should be noted that she becomes Jin's future mother-in-law with the forced engagement between Argo and Zariyana Lustfield — future matriarch of the Lustfield Family. Done on the orders of the Magic Council, it was to ensure the Lustfield Family is assimilated into the council itself, possessing the funds needed to continue their various projects and possessing members who could be potential Rune Knights.

Because of her status as a symbiote, she's part of the Zodiac Knights, a like-minded group led by their infamous leader, Joker. However, the latter is still in the dark of Undine's future plans, only serving as one of her many loyal pawns. It's also because of such an association that she comes in-contact with Enerjak on many occasions, helping him to fulfill his goals while using him to aid in her very own. Like Giselle, she also has a secret identity — Ahriman Deus Knight (アーリマン·デウス·ナイト, Āriman Deusu Naito), which is donned through the use of her Symbiote Powers; it's a charismatic, blue-robed "anti-hero" that helps her children & Team Daybreak on multiple occasions; the reason for it is because they too are part of her future plans.

Appearance
Undine is a woman that appears in her early thirties; although this is because she's a symbiote that alter her age at will. The reason she chose this age group is because it makes her feel young, yet at the same time feels so mature. She felt that if she' too young then people wouldn't take her seriously; the same reason if she was too old, along with the fact that people would see her as a liability. She's a tall woman, being the same height as Giselle herself, one of the many, albeit minor aspects that makes her more of a foil for her. She's a C-cup as observed & predicted by her son and daughter, something that's she's admitted to when she talked about herself upon adopting them. She has brown, wavy hair and pale-peachy skin. This is because she doesn't like sunlight, being an inside person because of her constant research, but only goes out if needed. Her noticeable trait is the bags under her eyes; this is one of the major attributes that make her akin to Giselle herself, who has that exact same feature. She gains these bags from her constant research she does on a daily basis non-stop. Both Kairi and Argo noted that they haven't seen her once rest ever since they met. It's later revealed that she sleeps only four hours and that's when they're not around; she also admits that she pulls all-nighters for her various projects that she works on in order to fulfill her ultimate plan. That and taking care of the two of them, something that touched their hearts respectively, showing how much she cares for them, yet worries them as she might collapse from exhaustion and end up sick. Because she's a symbiote and an immortal, this has yet to happen. Her auburn eyes have a bored look to them; this might be derived from her experiences on Earthland and her constant travels to other dimensions; she's witnessed the stagnant state of man and the endless cycle they're trapped it. Nothing truly changes for them and thus, they live mundane lives. This bores her to such extremes, thus the constant look. There are rare times when there's any emotion to them, usually seen when her experiments are a success or when her kids are in danger. She doesn't have any other distinct features, making her appearance the exact same as the common woman.

Because she's a scientist at heart, her apparel is the same as the occupation she majors in. It consists of a white long-sleeved shirt and a brown pencil skirt. She also wears a long white coat which scientists usually wear inside the laboratory; she comically calls it one of her "lucky items", as she's never seen without it and it always with her when her plans goes the way she wants it to. Her lab coat is made from a stainless and durable material. It's crafted through her own design, thus making the coat indestructible through normal means and all dirt that gets on it will instantly vanish. It should be noted that the coat itself is self-cleaning; it will use the water molecules of the surroundings and the air itself in order to clean itself. That's why no matter how long Undine wears it, it always smell so clean. Even her kids are amazed at this fact when she reveals this secret to them; it also startled them, knowing how cheap she can be and sometimes wonders if their clothing is the same way, something she laughs at whenever she gets the chance. This attire is the only thing in her possession, nothing else. In fact, outside of her Soul Armor, that's all she ever wears. It's rare for her to wear anything else besides that. It's because, in her own words, she comments that "I [Undine] is most comfortable in my attire. It makes me feel important and it shows my position in man's society; it defines how most of humanity views me. They see me as a scientist, so I dress as such. Anyways, fashion is so overrated. I dunno why everyone makes a big fuss about it anyways, geez. " Even her adopted kids agreed on this statement she made, furthering her "attachment" to such an attire. In fact, they noted that it's kinda creepy that she only wears that and her Soul Armor on some occasions, stating that other people might also see her as single and lonely. She re-assured them that such things don't matter to her, so long as she can bring her plans to fruition.

History
Not much is known about Undine past. A being that's existed for many eons, she has witnessed the rise and fall of many species; she's perpetually unchanging and thus didn't conform to the laws that surrounded her. This has allowed her to travel to various dimensions and study many creatures within. At some point, she came in-contact with the original Leo Symbiote, fusing with its being, thus being reborn anew and attaining her status as such a being. Eventually, she settled on Earthland, studying its many fauna and wildlife. For many eons, she lived on said planet and watched as man grew and evolve; this led her to become bored with existence in general and allowed her to hatch and enact a plan that would allow for existence to "be in a state of perpetual motion"; what this plan entails is unknown, but it's known that many events in the history of mankind has been in someway twisted by her, ending up with results in her favor. Sometime before the current timeline in Daybreak, she made contact with and joined the Zodiac Knights upon Joker's behest. Finding him/her to be a useful pawn in her grandiose schemes, she agreed. Thus, she worked under Joker's leadership of the then-forming group, carrying out task on his/her behest.

Through connections, she joined the Bureau of Magical Development, where she worked as a scientist for many years under the then-forming Magic Council. Through some strange connections, she became an acquaintance with Giselle Mercury; the two saw each other as mere scientists and nothing more. The two worked on many projects together, all of which led to the development of mankind's overall future; each one of them developed a certain amount of inventions and made new discoveries. This allotted them credit from their fellow colleagues. However, it's only with the creation and the end result of the Human-God Project that a wedge was created between the two, which led to the latter retiring from the Bureau while the former taking a sabatical from the job upon the orders of Joker. She later was assigned as a position of teacher of biology at La Pucelle. She taught there for many years, gaining the appeal and the care of many of her past students; this was the first time she ever felt any kind of emotion before. For once in her life, she actually felt happiness & glee, something that was totally new to her. In fact, many of the new students at La Pucelle always sign up for her class. It's because of this that she was branded as the most popular teacher at the academy. Many students in her class applauded her for her ethics and the way she teaches, as they're able to get the subject; more so than any of their other subjects. Thus, when a high-number of them graduated, they all became scientists at the bureau where she formerly worked. This made her happy in some regard as they now know the wonders of science. This also made it easier on her as he had more pawns she could manipulate later on, unbeknownst to anyone else around her at that time. However, then came time where she had to quit her job on Joker's orders and she was re-assigned to her former position; this saddened much of the student body and the faculty — both of whom cherished her greatly; they had a proper send-off for her and gave her various gifts, something that touched her deeply. However, upon her arrival at her former workplace, she was promoted to Head Researcher through the notions of the elders of the Magic Council because of the various innovations she put forth for humanity as a whole. It was then that the gears of her plan were put into full-motion.

Through various actions, the events that led to the current storyline were coming to fruition. At some point, she adopted two of her test subjects, feeling pity for them as they were abandoned by society — they were sent to the bureau to rot and die, their existence no longer necessary. When she asked for their names, they said they had none. She named them Kairi Chiyami and Argo Hiyamori respectively. Happy to get a new parent to care for them, they followed her commands strictly. She experimented on them daily, enhancing various aspects of their being. She then had them go through harsh combat training daily, just to heighten their skills. But she assumed the role as the mother, caring for them in many instances. It was something she enjoyed on many occasions, as it reminded her of her sanity which she thought she abandoned long ago and she deeply knew that they would never abandon her if anything goes wrong; they would stick by her side regardless, something that she appreciated above all. Thus, on occasions she would spoil them and allow them their freedom if they continued to followed her orders. It was then that the two decided to help their mother at any costs. Kairi enrolled at La Pucelle, keeping watch over the academy and the students from afar while assuming the role of the perfect honor student. Argo would join the Rune Knights and rise up in the ranks while closely observing the council's actions and various movements along with anyone else he deemed a threat to Undine. Surprised at their decisions, and later current actions, she knew that it would be an asset for her, thus allowed for them to go through it, knowing that there would be opposition in the near-future. She gave them gifts in the form of Soul Armors she personally crafted for their personal use, if anything goes awry and the situation calls for it. Currently, she crafted her own faux-Soul Armor using her powers and the technology at her disposal, dawning the identity of "Ahriman Deus Knight" (アーリマン·デウス·ナイト, Āriman Deusu Naito). With this new identity, she would sway various individuals to her cause through brave actions she would perform while secretly enacting her now-unknown plans. It's also known that she was partnered to Nasebe Ustradeldia by Joker to assist in the aid of the organization's overall plans. Later on, she adopted another boy, the one who was known as the "Pergrande's Lost Hero" (ペグランデの迷勇者, Pergurande no Maiyuusha) — the latter swore fealty towards her through unknown circumstance.

Personality
"Life & death, good & evil, all that jizz. What's so damn special about them? All they do is put forth boundaries and limit the capabilities of the human mind. They utterly trample on the freedoms of many species. Especially man, who's considered to be the most vulnerable. No wonder many others say that humanity is a weak race. Well, I guess that's one thing that needs fixing when I set my plans in motion. Let's see how man progresses when the laws of nature no longer applies to their kind. It should prove to be interesting, nonetheless. *giggle*"

- Undine questioning the laws of nature and relating it to her goals.

Undine is a difficult person to read; she tends to not show much of her emotions to those around her for particular reasons. This makes it harder to truly discern her true self or her motives. The only ones who would possibly know her truly is her adopted children, whom she's closest to — she shares her most intimate moments with them alone and they in return, help foster the familial relationship they have with each other, or Giselle herself, as the two beings are exactly alike in various aspects, something that even Tsuruko noted upon first meeting her. This is seen in her latest statement of the former: "She [Undine] reminds me of Giselle.... Everything about her screams Giselle.... Is she her sister or something? Possibly a clone? It feels like I'm speaking to the actual thing...." This comes from the person that close to Giselle more so than any other individual in the series, further attesting to the previous statement. Undine can defined as many things, but only a few would be quite accurate, depending on the context its put in, especially when done while having a certain perspective about her.

Normally, Undine tends to be lackadaisical, jaded, and very blase. This is seen in some of her actions not related to the grand schemes of her plans and in her speech patterns; this certain trait furthers her overall appearance as the "tired & bored scientist". Because she has lived so long and experienced the myriad of truths held within many universes that she's visited, there's virtually nothing that seems to catch her off-guard. She's adapted to the behaviors of many species, giving her a general outlook on them as a whole. Thus, any action they take, even if it surprises them or affects them in some grandiose way, she labels as "typical" or "predictable". This makes people think that she has some sort of pessimistic outlook on life; however, this isn't entirely true. It's just that everything to her looks and feels the same at this point; everything is in a perpetual state of stagnation in her eyes. It's because of this that she believes others never truly learn from their mistakes and they're destined to repeat the same act over and over again; this is true in many of her eye-witnessed cases as she's seen the fall of many species and generations because they repeat the same acts that landed them in trouble. No one is exempt from this ideology of hers. Usually emotionless in some cases, she is de-voided of the concepts of fear or worry. Thus, she tends to have boundless confidence against various foes in the storyline and time prior while exuding her lazy and somber persona. However, like Giselle herself, she has a "no-nonsense" attitude, and follows through with her goals with unexpected determination, putting said order before anything else; when something doesn't go her way or when someone screws up her plan, there are rare times where she gets super-pissed. At that point, the person(s) or object(s) responsible are usually dealt with in a swift manner, usually without mercy. She's willing to sacrifice others if it means the outcomes will be in her favor; she also has no qualms of disposing of someone or something if they have long-lived their usefulness. This is because she holds no feelties towards any single individual or group, making it easier to handle them in such a manner when the time comes. Thus, she is known to have a cruel streak in her, something that even exceeds the Virgo Symbiote's in certain cases. It should be noted that she will work under others if it meant that her own goals will come to fruition, feigning loyalty to said group while assuming the role of the loyal subordinate. This is seen upon her membership into the Zodiac Knights; she views everyone in-said group as nothing but minions in her schemes, even the leader herself, despite taking orders from that same person.

Because she's a scientist, nearly everyone is a test-subject to her; her fellow cohorts, her enemies, even herself & her own children. There's barely no one is excepted from this fact. If she finds someone or something that interests her, she will examine it fully and will use any method that will further said subject's growth and improvement. This is seen on two separate occasions. The first is when she met the original Leo Symbiote somewhere when traversing various dimensions, fusing with said being and obtaining its powers, and by extension, her status as one. The second is when she decides to observe humanity some eons ago upon discovering them, being the only sentient and very intelligent species that captured her interests. She has played in the shaping of much of human kind, albeit from the shadows, by the orchestration of various events that have occurred over time. Eventually, when she made herself known and worked with the then-forming Magic Council, she developed many inventions that led to the development of current generation of mankind; she mainly wanted to observe how they will use such devices, like they have in the past, something that actually captured her interests even more. Upon seeing how the current generation were making mistakes, she began to become pessimistic once more, thinking of them of being like the rest. However, after seeing the improvements they made to mend their mistakes and how they learned from them, her previous opinion of them was lessened to some degree.

However, it's also due to her status as being a scientist that she acts too logically and lacks common sense; this causes her to have horrible social skills, something even her own children chide her for; this is also partially due to working in her lab most of the time, while in others she's far away from civilization. A common example of this is seen through a *ehem* certain habit she partakes in on a daily basis — stripping. Yes, stripping. Without thinking, she would remove various parts of clothing from her being if she feels either uncomfortable or when they get dirty through unknown circumstances. This is due to humans being naked in the beginning and still thinking they have that certain trait hidden within the depths of their consciousness; she thinks its still okay, even though she's in modern society and no one finds that acceptable, especially in public. This is seen when she strips in front of another person in public, the latter getting embarrassed and extremely flustered, while Undine herself is confused at his actions. She also tends to talk about subjects with others that are considered either perverse or inappropriate for either the situation or the environment she's in, though they tend to have some relevance in its own right, and in some cases, can lead to the answers for said issues, strangely enough. It's because of such actions that she's labelled as a "nutcase" or "indecent" in certain cases; this in-turn causes her to diminuate her re-composed opinion of modern society, calling them "unintelligent prudes". When having conversations with others, she take things at face-value; she often misinterprets what others say and takes some things way too literally. This leads to misunderstandings and eventually causes her to be alienated as a result, confused as to what just transpired. If one closely observes and takes notes of the culmination of these examples, the penultimate conclusion reached is that Undine is not cut out to be a "people's person".

Undine is a person of high status in modern society, and because she's a person with an IQ over 500, she tends to act snarky at times, talking down to others and calling them "inferior", while still exuding her blase persona. The only ones she doesn't do this to is her own children and Giselle Mercury — a person of equal intellect. She's also a woman who keeps many secrets to herself, only letting a few people she actually trusts know what they are. Later in the series' progression, she reveals that everyone in her eyes are either classified into two categories: "test subjects" or "pawns"; the latter is for the enactment of her plans to further humanity and prevent any further stagnation it may encounter in the near future. She believes that everyone has their purpose in life, some to serve as stepping stone to others. This dangerous line of thinking tends to further her jaded personality to an extent, but its then revealed she does so for the purpose of improvement of society as a whole; she well understands some of the concepts of the human heart, thus tries not to trample on them, if possible. In certain instances, she has shown a remarkable ability to consistently shatter the perceptions of many people that she confronts, conforming them to her way of thinking; she does so by telling 'half-truths', leaving out vital points of information so long as it works in her favor. This trait has been dubbed as "a great evil" by Giselle herself, as anyone can swayed into doing something irrational through this method, but Undine retorted that it's up to the individual to believe in her words or not. Thus, this certain trait also helps to define Undine as an individual.

Despite the many jaded & odious traits that Undine possesses, she also has a kinder side to her being — one filled with kindness and care; however, this side is shown in rare instances and towards a select few. She's known to have a certain love for children. This is because she firmly believes that they're the future of their race's survival; they pave the road to mankind's face. Not only that, they are more interesting than most people her "age" or older; they have more emotional issues they deal with and their outlook on life is more colorful, not black & white like those around her. However, this love has created a form of internal conflict inside her being; she personally knows that with a few simple words, she can easily sway them to her side. This is because children are pure and innocent, ignorant to the horrors of that life presents to its inhabitants. On the other hand, she wants to preserve such purity, knowing that it what makes mankind more humane and proper. She tries her best to hide this struggle when she teaches her classes when assigned to La Pucelle under the command of Joker. This led to the development of certain quirks she exudes, something that many around her notice very often; she becomes a klutz and tend mess things up, but she smiles more often and talks in a loving and cheerful tone; it was something contradictory for someone as jaded like her. This, however, made her very popular amongst the students and garnered their attention from then, albeit unintentionally. There were times when her jaded ideals would come to surface in the form of questions or essay topics, but the students saw them as possible debate topics to use, something she didn't expect but at the same time relieved her. In the years she taught at that academy, she was the teacher that was closest to the students; she genuine cared for them, something that hasn't been done for the many eons she's existed. This certain emotion helped Undine understand the human heart even more. When it came time to leave her position, Undine felt sadness at the fact that she will be separated from the one thing she actually cared for the most; this furthered her understanding more than prior, letting her develop a sympathetic side and slowly disarming her of her jaded persona she exudes on a daily basis. Her love for children is seen in the adoption of her own; she secretly desired to have her own and to be a mother, something she originally dubbed an impossibility for someone like her, given her status. The children she adopted, Kairi and Argo respectively, were abandoned by society, thus she decided to be sympathetic and give them a home. This shows that her kinder side is ever-growing. Because of such kindness she's shown them, the two swore fealty towards her, deciding to dedicate themselves to her — this made her flustered to some extent, assuring them that she just wanted them to be themselves. From then on, besides from enacting her future plans for humanity, she would care for her new family. This later would apply to her subordinates, some of whom were former students of her's at La Pucelle, inspired by her to pursue such an occupation. She would help them in anything they would ask for, giving them advice on certain subjects, some of which aren't related to work entirely, or helping them in projects while fulfilling her own; this also shows that she's becoming more thoughtful of those under her care. Amusingly enough, another trait she shares with Giselle is that, despite her jaded personality traits, she oddly seems to have a subconscious affinity towards childish things. This is seen in her interests in the Kamen Rider-esque themes of the Soul Armors, which she later crafts for her children and she mimics through her own powers, and having a sweet-tooth.

Another form of her kinder side, albeit one influenced by negativity, is the vow of vengeance against any single individual who dare harms or causes grief against either her family or her subordinates; normally called "righteous fury" by a normal individual. Such a case is seen when upper echoleon the Magic Council had threaten her children when she didn't conform to their plans. In that single instance, she released a massive amount of killing intent, all of which were aimed at each of the members. She then further stated that if they ever thought about going through such an act, she would personally hunt down each of them and would make their lives into a living hell. Given Undine's fondness of her children, something like this wasn't really far-fetched for her to do; in fact, she really will do it if the need arises. In this way, she can be compared to Giselle yet again, as the latter is very protective of Team Daybreak, willing to risk her life for their safety — especially true for Tsuruko since she's Giselle's daughter. Another instance is when some corrupted members of the Rune Knights attacked the scientists because they were feeble and weak. Upon witnessing such an act performed on her subordinates, she brutally and viciously beat said members within an inch of their lives and concocted a story to pin the blame on the captain in-charge of such men. This further shows how much she loves her family and subordinates to such degrees.

Because she tends to lead a quadruple-life of sorts (the first as a famed scientist, the second as a member of Zodiac Knights, the third as the mastermind of a grandiose & convoluted scheme, and the fourth as an anti-hero that helps certain individuals in various cases), there are times where she would assume the role of an actress; she would go with the flow of the situation and use the advantages that presents itself to her benefit. This is mainly seen when she acts as either the damsel-in-distress or the normal bystander, taking the chance to observe the opposition up-close and act accordingly; this is helps measure the situation and how much of a future threat they would become. She's not above helping either one or both sides if she knows that she can gain some sorta benefit from it; this derives from a previous statement about joining teams if the need arises. It's then that she would assume her secret identity of Ahriman Deus Knight, using said identity to pull of feats that would end in the results she predicted sometime down the line. Unlike Giselle, Undine takes priority over maintaining the fact that the Ahriman Deus Knight and herself are two different people; she maintains her act in-front of others or takes the chance to transform in secret and go out to do what needs to be done.

As Ahriman Deus Knight, Undine is stoic and level-headed individual. She fights using both logic and instinct guiding her instead of relying on one; this makes her battle-style more refined and focused. To an extent, she enjoys fighting with her opponent, toying and demeaning them as much as possible before delivering the final blow. She would often lend advice to those that need it or give them openings in order to finish off the opposition. There are even times where she would visit said side, giving them special boosts or other items that she either made herself or obtained through mysterious methods; this is to ensure that they win next time or at least gain the upper hand. However, as usual, the true motive behind her actions is to test the development of said individual(s) and see if they are either useful or a detriment later on. The only exception is when she helps out her children when they're in extreme amounts of danger — which is a rarity, given how strong the two of them are respectively. Like Giselle as Phoenix Knight, on several occasions, she performs exaggerated and over-the-top moves; this derives from her childish side she tends to exude in certain instances and her bias that superheroes usually end things off with a bang. When she's about to act, she usually says her signature catchphrase — '''Begin Operation. Execute!' (動作を開始. 実行！, Dōsa o kaishi. Jikkō!''); this habit is later adopted by her children when they don their own Soul Armours.

Equipment & Inventions
Claíomh Solais (天罰剣武器庫の濁贖罪 (クライオム·ソルエース) Kuraiomu Soruēsu; Irish for "Shining Blade", Japanese for "Divine Retribution Blade Arsenal of Impure Penance" ): Undine found this weapon sometime ago in the country of Earthland; she went there in order to explore some ancient ruins that foretold the future of humanity. Exploring its confines, she came across it, sensing that it was drawn to her power. Upon touching it, the weapon became one with Undine's being. Processing what just transpired, she felt said weapon's immense power and an overall increase in her already-vast magical capabilities. She later read in the tome that was near the weapon the name, its history and the various powers it grants. Finding it interesting, she then decides to test out her newfound power on the vast surroundings. Quickly razed and Undine standing in a smoke-filled crater, she was very pleased with the results she's gotten, thus opted to keep the weapon for future use. Despite its namesake, the sentient weapon takes on three distinct forms: a sword, a shield, and a pair of wings; it also gives the wielder three distinct abilities, each one corresponding to one of its forms. The sword, which is designed in a Western European fashion, having a jewel near its base and surrounded by a golden hilt, has the ability to cut through anything that it makes contact with, regardless of its origins. The shield, which looks similar to a dagger and has a jewel in the center, and a handle in the back to hold it, is able to defend against any energy-based technique, regardless of strength. The pair of wings, which takes the form of three bladed-feathers attached to disks connecting to the user's back and held together by a single piece of arched metal, is able to manipulate all forms of energy within the vicinity, leaving it at the disposal of the user. It's said that just summoning one takes great effort, only responding to a need, not a desire; also, it takes much magical energy to stabilize their forms. Those who have wielded it in the past had vast amounts of magical energy at their disposal, thus one of the reasons why they were chosen by it in the first place. Initially, one can muster the strength to summon one of its three forms. However, when mastered to a certain extent, it's possible to manifest & utilize two of three at the same time. It should be noted that only a select few are able to manifest all three at once and utilize them effectively; Undine was able to perform this feat many times over, showing her mastery over the weapon. A single use of this weapon is enough to equate one of the Divine Tools with mere ease, something that's considered to be an impossibility by normal means given that latter's status. This is seen when Undine used said weapon to overpower Argo and Kairi respective tools during one of their training sessions. However, it should be noted that the latter two were fairly new to utilizing them, despite their individual strengths. Not only that, Undine didn't use a fraction of the weapons' power, in fear of causing severe injury. Thus, what it can truly do has yet remained to be seen. It's noted that, like its namesake states, its powerful against any being deemed evil in the eyes of its beholder, reacting to their will and empowering itself accordingly. Thus, one can say its power is directed from its wielder's will; if the user is enraged against a certain foe and has the mentality, which is not only strong but thinks that the opposition is evil in some form, then its overall power grows immensely. However, the opposite is true as well; if the user's will is weakened in any way or if faced with an opponent whom they consider to not be truly evil, then its powers weaken considerably. Interestingly enough, its form changes whenever Undine becomes Ahriman Deus Knight. This might be because she's using a combination of Soul Metal, her own powers, and that of the symbiote's to create the Soul Armor; the three must have a strangely affected the legendary weapon in some way, despite its great power and being sentient in nature.

Lacrima (魔水晶 (ラクリマ), Rakurima; lit. "Magical Crystal"): Lacrima is a Magic crystalline substance found in both Earth Land and Edolas. Lacrima can be powered up with different spells and used for different purposes. Lacrima is crystallized Magic. Metaphysically, Lacrima calls upon the wisdom of the world in order to manipulate nature itself. This manifests as the phenomenon of magic for most Lacrima, although other Lacrima pieces enhance the user's abilities. To withdraw the power from the stabilized crystal, a shock triggered by the user's mind is required. As a result, the Lacrima user's mind is weakened and frequent use of Lacrima without rest taxes their stamina. A Mage can charge their Magic into a Lacrima to suit their uses. Lacrima is best used when slotted into a weapon or a piece of armour. Once slotted into an equipment piece, the user can unleash powerful attacks or call upon special effects relating to the type of Lacrima itself. Using Lacrima has both pros and cons. Depending on the type and strength of the Lacrima equipped, some stats may be hindered or enhanced. Throughout the second half of Daybreak, Undine has made various weapons and enhancements using Lacrima as its base; these were mainly done for experimental purposes, giving it to various characters and wanting to see what the end-results might be. It's later revealed that, like Giselle, Undine is the person responsible for creating various types of Lacrima used in everyday society and the discoverer of Red Lacrima — a special type of Lacrima that cancels out magic entirely. This type of Lacrima is found in much of her anti-magic devices that she invents. Ironically enough, because of her symbiote status and her overall power, she's not affected by the powers the Red Lacrima contains, using it freely while still being able to employ magic.

Gephion Disturber (魔法粒子周波崩壊波機構 (ゲフィオン·ディスターバ) Gefion Disutāba; lit. "Magic-Particle Frequency Disruption Wave Automaton"): A special portable device that Undine invented in her spare time, ironically; its purpose was to disrupt eternano and the use of magic within a certain radius. She said that it was created "out of boredom's sake", the invention being just a mere plaything to her. Undine made up the excuse that she wanted to experiment on Red Lacrima — the main ingredient serving as the machine's core, thus it came about as such. Taking the form of a small device, similar to that of a bomb or landmine of sorts, when placed in a certain area and activated by a remote control, it releases anti-magic wavelengths that re-acts with any magical substance within a certain radius; the waves cause a slight disharmony in the wavelengths of both the magic and surroundings, causing the two to cancel each other out at a constant rate, effectively erasing any form of magical activity so long as the machine is active. Thus, it becomes impossible to use magic or eternano so long as one is near the machine's radius. Because they are small, their range is a mere two meters; however, the opposite can be said when there are more in the area, especially when they are linked together through some means. At this point, when all of them are activated at the same time, the waves they release bounce off of and amplify each other greatly; their radius becomes larger, reaching almost ten-meters, and their effects become stronger and more apparent. It's said that any magic already cast in the area, no matter the strength or potency, is instantly cancelled, the eternano slowly evaporates until there's nothing left, and any magical being suffer symptoms similar in most diseases and sickness; these includes nausea, headaches, paralysis, amplified sensory nerves, drowsiness, etc. The only ones not affected by such effects are those donning Soul Armours; Undine theorized that the Soul Armours are directly linked to one's overall will and uses little magic to sustain the transformation; strangely enough, they can be built into the Soul Armours, being used as actual weapons as seen in Kairi's and Argo's cases respectively; they used the built-in disturbers in order to disrupt enemy-fire before landing the finishing blow. These symptoms, however, go away immediately if one is out of the machine's range or if some of them are destroyed — which will weaken the symptoms' effectiveness considerably. Being forged through the use of titanium and other high-class material, it takes a certain amount of force to completely destroy at least one; even then, they would have to worry about being exposed directly to the intense light of the Red Lacrima released after said machine is shattered. This machine, despite its very strange background, serves as one of the many plot devices seen in the storyline, especially when associated with Undine under her guise of Ahriman Deus Knight.

Wild Alloy Reflection (光通信技術鋼波動札 (ワイルド·アロイ·リフレクション) Wairudo Aroi Rifurekushon; lit. "Photonic Technology Steel Undulation Cards"): These cards are but another one of Undine's inventions; they usually reserved for her and her family's personal use only, given what their battle styles are respectively. Made of silicon and titanium alloy, they're crafted & patterned as multiple smaller black triangles that are perfectly aligned next to each other facing the opposite direction; it seems they have a holographic-esque afterglow to them when exposed to weak light. Because they're so easy to make, yet serves many practical uses in battle, Undine tends to mass-produce these and utilize them in many of her fights in the storyline. The main purpose behind them can be summed up into three words — refraction, reflection, and deflection. When hit with an attack that utilizes magical energy, the card breaks apart and absorbs said magical energy for a brief instant, scattering itself in mid-air into tiny triangular shards as it does so. While still suspended, it releases the magical energy in various directions, focusing it at a single point; in some cases, said energies will bounce off of each other and greatly improve their speed and the force put behind them. Anything that's hit with such concentrated force is bound to be either destroyed or take heavy damage. The power behind the attack is sometimes proportionate to how much magical energy was put into it; its excellent to use against attacks that use a great amount of magical energy. However, if the magical energy proves to be too great, then the card(s) in-question will instantly be destroyed as a result. Undine tends to use this for amplifying her own attacks & spreading their overall range while utilizing as little magical energy as possible. These cards are usually seen when she's Ahriman Deus Knight, using them to improve her special moves to cause more damage or block enemy fire. Later, her children use them for the exact same purposes; it proves to be more useful to Argo, given his status, his weapon(s), and the magic he specializes in.

Brionac (古光神の追悼の神器 (ブリューナク) Buryūnaku; Irish for "Holy Light Spear", Japanese for "Divine Tool of the Ancient Light God's Memorial"): The control device that allows one to fully manipulate Lia Fáil's immense powers. She came across it around the same time she discovered Haruto during his long hibernation. Taking the form of a oddly-shaped organ-esque device, it has seven metal bars, each containing a color related to the rainbow — which serve as part of the controlling mechanism; they are used to produced unique sounds, which are required for manipulating Lia Fáil. It's said that when a certain order of sounds are played, then Lia Fáil's power is unveiled in all its glory. It's noted to be made from an indestructible material, most likely being Orichalcum; this is to prevent it from being destroyed, thus losing the only method to controlling Lia Fáil.

Lia Fáil (報復や贖罪の天塔 (リア·ファル) Ria Faru; Irish for "Stone of Destiny", Japanese for "Heaven's Tower of Retribution & Atonement"): Taking the form of a massive, three segmented, black tower, it's an ancient device found in the regions of Joya — stated to contain a mysterious power. According to Undine's later discoveries, it's later revealed that said power was the manipulation of the evolutionary process. She also discovers that it was used in times past in order to help develop various civilizations & helping to create more forms of magic. It's unknown when & how she discovered it, but it serves as a staple to her overall plans. The power contained in this tower can only be controlled by the sound patterns emitted by Brionac — its control device. When active, channels across its surface glow bright red with its energy. Panels of its middle section move out on beams, revealing a solid red core and a shaft of red light is emitted from its top.

Thought-Inhibitor Drug: Considered to be one of Undine's many concoctions and proof of her chemical genius. Made from various hazardous materials, it's a special drug which can stop thought processes from occurring within the brain. Stored in a purple vial, it can be injected into an individual physical contact or when coated onto a weapon; she commonly does this to her Claíomh Solais. This drug restricts the individual's control over all motor functions, as is the case when one of her fellow scientists. After applying it to them, he was rendered unable to evade a simple attack from Undine when the former attacked the latter in a frenzy, reasons being unknown. It also can cause the individual's emotions to go out of control. These effects, however, are not long-lasting; they stay within the system for about ten minutes before completely wearing off. On an interesting note, this drug causes the affected individual's eyes to glow with a purple tint.

Biology-Alteration Serum: Another invention that Undine created in her spare time; considered to be one of her more "common mistakes" — something she didn't intend to make, but just came about. It's a special serum the changes the biological makeup to its intended target. While experimenting on ways to enhance a person's overall capabilities by a milestone, as part of her grandiose plan, she utilized several theories relating to the anatomy of the human body and various other species. She also performed myriad experiments and performed various equations. While she achieved the end result, perfecting the ultimate chemical formula that can achieve what she desired, the leftovers were converted into a compound upon later use. Unbeknownst to her, the combination transformed into a serum. Upon discovery of this some time later, when applied to another organic being, its biology changed greatly; they "evolved" in a sense, fixing faults within their original biology & enhancing them to some degree. Undine stated that this was one of the possibilities of the experiments she was working on — one that denoted to the natural law of the world. However, since its incomplete, there were many side-effects to it in the form of adverse mutations. Though the subject experienced enhancements, there was an eventual breakdown of the body because of the instability contained within the serum. Thus, the subject's body would eventually cease functioning and they will die as a result. It's because of this that Undine states that this one of, if not the cruelest of her inventions. It can be applied to an opponent during combat, but she advised herself against it, stating in her own words that "I [Undine] wouldn't wish such a fate on anyone, no matter how much I despise them." Thus, this invention is locked deep within the confines of her lab, never to see the light of day.

Youth-Restoring Cosmetics: Taking the form of various cosmetics (lipstick, hair gel, skin creams, etc.), the compounds contain within helps one to restore their youth, albeit temporarily. It's a combination of various chemical formulas mixed with traditional herbal medicine. Undine created this out of curiosity, as she was reading a magazine section of Sorcerer Magazine; it was a section aimed at women who constantly worried about their youthful appearances and aging. Decided to, in her own words, "stop the constant bitching", she used the formula basis found in many skin products. Then, by analyzing her own DNA, which contained the secret of her perpetual youthfulness, she copied the compounds from those and broke it down into simple molecules. This gave her the ability make it into a special chemical formula, which she applied to some cream. It took her about three hours until she finished the end result. When tested on one of her fellow scientists, they noted that their skin became younger in an instant; not only that, various parts of their body as well (i.e. hair, face, etc.). She then decided to give samples to her fellow workers to use at any given time and can always ask for refills. But under the condition that it shouldn't be shared with anybody; the reason is that it would cause a huge uproar amongst the populace should they learn where it originated and everyone would come begging and nagging her for some, a headache that she wants to avoid at all costs. She would usually use some on herself occasionally, but since she's already youthful, it was rendered ineffective.

Oroborus-Sight Liquid: Another one of Undine's drugs. It's considered to be her favorite because of the overall effect it has on a person, which was thought to be possible through supernatural means. Kept in a black vial, it can only be applied through physical contact or when coated onto a weapon like before. It spreads throughout the body but only affects the brain and the nervous system. This drug has unique properties that grants the target the power of precognition or lets one see into the future. This is done by causing said target to enter a time loop in their mind during a battle; whenever they "severely injure" Undine, they are sent back to a fix time period — specifically the very beginning of the battle, forcing them to restart the entire process. This continues for a very long period. Even if the target is aware of what's taking place, they are helpless to do anything about it. As this drug affects the hippocampus section of the brain, which governs short-term memory, going back more than ten times will cause the user to experience complete bodily paralysis for thirty seconds due to the part of their brain that controls their sense of balance temporarily shutting down. This is effective as Undine can do anything she desires to them in said time or use that opportunity to make a hasty retreat. The name of this drug comes from the term — a snake biting its own tail. In many cultures, it represents eternity and immortality. Thus, due to the drug's effects, its naming can only be considered to be too poetic.

Mistleteinn (万能世界征服の衛星 (ミストルティン) Misutorutin; Old Norse for "Mistletoe", Japanese for "All-Purpose Satellite of World Conquest"): One of the most destructive inventions she's ever created, it's purpose is to serve as Undine's bargaining chip should something happen to derail her future plans. Originally, she created it out of boredom, but after witnessing Jin's Fenrir and the power it possessed, she decided to build one of her own. In fact, Jin helped her in this endeavor by giving her the blueprints to his own cannon and helping out with the mechanics. While making a few modifications to the original blueprints, she incorporated various programs into it that will activate when certain conditions were met. Undine estimated that it took exactly three months to complete it, even with Jin's help. After its completion, she launched it into outer space away from the watchful eye of the council. When it was tested, a single blast was able to annihilate a wide-area with mere ease, not leaving a trace. Jin commented that it was something that his satellite could accomplish with two or three blasts, not counting magical defenses and natural resistance to energy signals, thus applauding the scientist's intellect over his own. Undine stated that she took the very design plans of Etherion that she received from Argo through unknown circumstances and incorporated that into the satellite's overall design. Thus the reason for its destructive power. However, there's a slight difference. With Etherion, it used the fusion of various magics in order to accomplish the task. But with Mistleteinn, it uses pure eternano particles gathered from the planet's atmosphere and concentrates it at the focal point. It then travels through several formulas, which are of her own design, magnifying it to monumental degrees while giving off an intense temperature — one nearly comparable to that of the sun's surface. By this logic, the power the cannon unleashes is enough to wipe out an entire fortified city and the landscapes surrounding it. It's been noted that the heat signature of the blast's aftermath is nearly equivalent to an atomic bomb, having enough power to utterly melt any and all substances that happen to be near it, regardless of density and mass. The only substance that's not fully effected by this is Orichalcum, the hardest known metal in the Daybreakverse; it's damaged only slightly. Thus, the meaning behind the satellite's name is very appropriate, as the power it possesses is enough to make the world bend to Undine's whim. The satellite's functions can be controlled either through the use of her Soul Armour or through her Archive. This means that it can perform certain commands in any given situation, thus allowing for a variety of possibilities to be accessed. Asides from its destructive power, which can be controlled in any given situation, it can be used as a transmitter — sending information to and from various sources, a locator — using the data of Earthland's geography in order to find specific locations or targets, regardless where they are located, a jamming device — by converting eternano in the atmosphere and firing it as a unique frequency, it can cause much interference to its intended target, amongst its other various functions. It can also be fired at any given location, thus allowing Undine to manipulate it regardless of her whereabouts. When questioned about its appearance by her children, she stated that since it was originally a modified version of Jin's Fenrir, but seated with various unique functions and utilized highly-advanced programs, it's only fitting that it would reflect such major changes. Not only that, she wanted to appeal to her "feminine side" for once. Crafted completely from orichalcum, it takes on a unique form — one that defies the normal standard of a satellite cannon. However, it has little similarities with Jin's own since it was based on it. Having a cat-shaped head, it lacks any eyes, being attached to the central processor; when certain functions are performed, it glows chromatically. The processor's design is very intricate and unique, having an half-oval design, having an indent in the center. The bottom is slender in the middle, possessing a ring around it and square designs, and extending outwards again in two smaller half-oval-shaped designs, one connected to the other. This gives it a similar design to a case where one would eat a hard-boiled egg out of. The strangest part of the satellite's design is the huge gap between the main body and the firing piece. Originally perceived as a design flaw by Argo, both Undine and Jin stated that this was done on purpose; it was done so that the flow of energy and data would be much easier to manage and the satellite itself wouldn't overheat from multiple uses. Undine further stated that the two pieces are connected by a strong magnetic pull emitted by the earth's gravitational forces. Specifically, the satellite has a unique function that allows it to manipulate the gravitational forces around itself in order to sustain its positioning and various functions. It's because of this reason why the two pieces remain aligned while separate from each other. The firing piece takes the form of a long needle-like structure with many indents and curves to it. When one closely observes, it looks like the needle is, in fact, three pieces combined into one, something that was disproven by Jin himself when explaining the specs of the satellite. Perhaps the other interesting thing about the satellite is the wings that reside on each side. These wings are, in fact, highly-concentrated traces of energy emitted from the satellite itself. They either shrink or grow depending on how much energy is emitted when certain functions are performed; they serve to recycle leftover energy to prevent the device from overheating. They also serve as auto-repair units, using the energy in the atmosphere in order to repair the satellite in the event that it's damaged in any way. Not only that, they can produce a high-frequency barrier made from the atmosphere's energy in the event that the satellite is in danger of being harmed. Overall, the appearance of the satellite is evenly matched with its given functions, possessing no flaws that will hinder it. The machine serves as one of the many signs of Undine's power & supremacy. Not only that, it's the main reason why both Lia Fail & Brionac were able to be located respectively, despite being declared as lost & abstract machines by various intellectuals, the two being keystones to her grandiose schemes. According to Undine, the full name of this satellite is Type MC-AXDSI No. 99 — Mistleteinn (型・ＭＣ (魔法評議) ・ AXDSI (軸鑑識宇宙利根)・ No99 ・ 万能世界征服の衛星 (ミストルティン), Gata Mahō Hyōgi Jiku Kanshiki Uchu Rikon NO.99 Misutorutin; lit. "Magic Council's Axis Judgment Space Intelligence Type No.99 — All-Purpose Satellite of World Conquest").

Magics & Abilities
"The mind should be pure, uncontaminated by self-serving distortions and preconceived ideas. The mind should be flexible, able to change shape according to the situation without resorting to rote learning. Water is pure and flexible. I am like water. Because of that, I'm untouchable by you two; I have nothing holding me down despite my status as a scientist. I am able to move in such a way, allowing myself to battle in any way I feel like without being leaving myself vulnerable. On the other hand, you two have distracting thoughts and preconceived notions on beating me. That's why you two are losing now. What? You thought because of my position that I was weak?! Quit fooling yourself! I have much more experience in my pinky finger than either of you have in your entire bodies. If you keep this up, you'll never be a match for Team Daybreak.... or anyone else at all. You'll be deemed as a liability to me. Now, clear your mind and come at me like your life depends on it. Try your damnest to kill me. Anything less is a mere waste of my time."

- Undine to Argo and Kairi during one of their various sparring matches.

Quotes

 * "Damn it man, can't you do anything right?! I gave you a simple role and you can't even do that properly! Well, whatever..... I can always recover from such setbacks. I can have someone else cover for me in the meantime. Just..... Make yourself useful and fetch me something to drink. I'll think of something else in the meantime." — Undine to Enerjak after he ruins the latter's plans through his machinations.
 * "My beloved children mean the entire world to me. They would do anything I ask and try to ease my pain as much as possible. They never even think of failing me and they try their damnest to become stronger than I. Even though that will never happen. Is this what it's like for a mother to be proud of her children? I have to say, it's a good feeling to have *giggle* I should do this more often when they're not around! Anyways, both of them specialize in certain areas that tends aid in my grandiose schemes. Argo is a militant specialist, Haruto is a white knight acting as my bodyguard, and Kairi is a faux honor student. They represent my eyes and ears, allowing me to obtain information from even the most safe-guarded of sources; I should add that they did this of their own volition. No one told them to do it. They must want my love that badly. I swear, kids these days. They can be so clingy, yet at the same time, so dependable." — Undine talking about her adopted children to her cohorts.
 * "What to do, what to do.... So many options to choose from, so little time to enact them all. Either way, it works in my favor. There's nothing stopping me now. Everything is going according to plan." — Undine deciding on her next course of action.
 * "All of you.... Survive and get stronger. There are greater evils out there who're a lot more powerful than this one. If you ever wanna defeat them, train yourself to be the best and obtain an ironclad will. Otherwise, your demise will be imminent. And personally..... I cannot allow that. Especially you little girl. Fate has something special in store just for you." — Undine, as Ahriman Deus Knight, talking to the members of Team Daybreak during their initial encounter after defeating an opposing enemy.
 * "Despite their high standings in power, their secrets & various funded-projcest will definitely come in use when the time calls for it. Whether they like it..... Or not! They're merely one of my puppets dancing within the palms of my hand. They may think they're in control, but I'm the puppet master of this stage. They will conform to the part I set out for them." — Undine commenting on higher echoleon of the Magic Council's role in her future plans.
 * "Coffee is an amazing thing. In my opinion, it's one of man's greatest creations. It has the power to energize you when you're tired. Perfect for early in the morning. One sip and you feel wide awake. It gives you the energy to get you through the day; you can taste it in the flavor as well. It's like it's saying to wake up and get moving. It's every scientist's best friend! It's what we need to keep on striving day-in and day-out. However, I know of the consequences when used as a crutch. It's addicting like nicotine and we tend to substitute it for meals. This can lead to undernourishment and can cause us to get sick at times. The same can be said with all other caffeinated products. However, despite its fallacies, I love it regardless; it's actually one of the few things that I'm willing to taste. What's even more is that there are various flavors, various styles, and even machines that can make 'em the way you want to enjoy it! Isn't that amazing?! You've got to at least agree with me on that one. You saw the magic behind it! Sometimes, I swear that this drink will be the end of me one day. *giggle* I don't mind. It's not a bad way to end things off. At least I die enjoying one of the things I love. Now, what should I drink next? Ooooohhhhhh, it's sooo hard to choose! So many flavors, so many styles, so many ways to eat and drink it!" — Undine comically, yet passionately talking her overall love & amazement towards coffee & caffeinated products to Jin & her kids.
 * "The perfect being, huh? There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliché, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I loathe perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony. In short, the moment that foolishness left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost. Of course, that’s assuming you are a scientist" — Undine's jaded, but truthful views about perfection in relation to science to a fellow colleague competing with her.

Trivia

 * She's heavily based off of Kiyama Harumi from the anime/manga/light novel series To Aru no Kagaku no Railgun.
 * Ironically, when the author chose this character, he found that her qualities matched all of Giselle's, down to the last parameter. Thus, she was the obvious character to base Giselle's foil off of.


 * Even though she requires no form of nourishment of the sort, due to her status as an immortal, she takes a liking to coffee or any caffeinated-drink. This is because it gives her the boost that she needs and in her own words, it makes her feel even more grown-up. In fact, she's seen with a coffee using drinking it; this is evident in the most inconspicuous situations she finds herself in, such as the Zodiac Knights meetings, when she's spending time with her family, etc. Comically enough, her children wonders where the coffee even comes from and how much she can drink in a single sitting. The only times she's seen without it is when she's in her faux-Soul Armor form; however it magically appears at her side once again when disengaging the form.


 * Undine loves classical music, as it's refined and soothing in her own words. She tends to play some when she's either working or in the field.


 * Surprisingly enough, Undine loves kids in general. This is seen in many instances of the storyline, and anything prior for that matter. Such proof is the adoption of her future children and teaching at La Pucelle for a certain amount of years. In fact, she tends to visit orphanages in her spare time and play with the children there.
 * It should be noted that, even though she loves kids, she will make sacrifices; they're not an exception to this rule. This is because her plans involves the whole of creation, not just a single part. She figures that when she destroys the natural law, then any sacrifice she's made along the way will be mended automatically.


 * Undine's name comes from the term Undine. or ondines are a category of elemental beings associated with water, first named in the alchemical writings of Paracelsus. They are usually depicted as being female, and are usually found in forest pools and waterfalls. Although resembling humans in form they lack a human soul, so to achieve immortality they must acquire one by marrying a human. Such a union is not without risk for the man, because if he is unfaithful he is fated to die. This naming highly fits Undine's overall character. Undine, for one tends to drink much liquid, preferably coffee, and love to be near bodies of water. She states that it soothes her to some extent, besides her adopted children of course; the latter reminds her of the sanity that she still retains while going through with her grandiose schemes. Another is that because she's an immortal and a symbiote, she essentially doesn't have a soul; she not truly human. Comically enough, one of her fantasies to get married to a faithful man; anyone will do so long as he makes her happy. She hates men who don't keep to their promises, and at times will kill them when she's pushed to a certain point, which is known to be in some cases.

- Lord Arceus

Argo Hiyamori (アルゴ·火家守, Hiyamori Argo) is a deuteragonist debuting in season 2 of Daybreak: A Change of Perspective; he also serves as one of its minor antagonists in the storyline, as his and his sister's actions secretly initiate a chain of reoccurring problems that fits in to their mother's grandiose scheme upon her command.

Formerly a prisoner in the country of Bosco, he's the foster son of Undine Hoshikagumi and the adoptive older brother to both Kairi Chiyami & Haruto Tsukaimei; he cherishes the three to such an extent, where he's able to put his life on the line & go to extremes for them equally. In favor to the woman who gave him a new lease on life, he became a mercenary for the Magical Council, easily passing their training; he's also serves as one of the Rune Knight Captains. Through unknown circumstances, he has very close relations with Deen Lhant & Jin Daisenkō, the latter more intimate than the former. Due to the experimentations done to him by his mother — which was funded much by the upper echoleon of Magic Council themselves, his overall prowess has reached to such a degree where he can be dubbed as a Super Soldier (超兵, Chōhei). However, unbeknownst to nearly all of its members, he's actually a spy; he joined in order to observe the council's actions and silently eliminate any possible threats to his mother's future plans. He later becomes a supporter & a benefactor of sorts to Team Daybreak, helping them out in certain situations under Undine's command. He is later introduced to Zariyana Lustfield — the future matriarch of the Lustfield Family & relative of the Daisenkō Clan, by his best friend. The two are later engaged to each other through an arranged political marriage on the orders of the Magic Council; this is to ensure the Lustfield Family is assimilated into the council itself, possessing the funds needed to continue their various projects and possessing members who could be potential Rune Knights. This would technically make Jin his future brother-in-law, something that secretly excites him. Later on, as a direct command from his mother, he becomes the teacher of Oz Feyginmore — the strongest Earth-based mage in the storyline, a La Pucelle student & the benefactor of Undine herself, finding interest in her future goals for humanity.

A master over a variety of magics & different art forms, along with being the current possessor of the Divine Tool of Punishment — Shikei, he serves to be one of the strongest individuals in the series, his prowess matching the might of one of the Zodiac Knights. He's recognized by many titles given to him by various characters in the series; such titles include "Metal-Forging King of Destruction" (金鍛造破壊王, Kintanzō Hakaiō), which linked to his mastery over Iron-Make and the destructive potential eavh of his creations possesses, and "Warden of the Null Zone" (無区の典獄, Muku no Tengoku), which is due to his innate & utter mastery over Nullification Magic — something he inherited from his mother upon modifying his body to great extremities, using it in ways that's thought to be impossible. Most of all, he's been called the "Red Horseman of Eternal Warfare" (永久戦の赤騎士, Towasen no Akakishi) because of his brutish, yet effective tactics that always leaves a trail of blood, chaos, and destruction; ironically, this is the only title that he ever agrees with because he says that it perfectly fits him as a person. Later on, he's referred to the title of "Crepuscular Star Monarch" (膨大天夜空常定規 (クレプスキューラー・スター・モンアーチ) Kurepusukyūrā Sutā Monāch; lit. "Eternal Ruler of the Vast Heavenly Night Skies"), for his overall knowledge and mastery of Heavenly Body Magic — one of the most versatile non-Lost Magics in existence; each one of his techniques encompasses the power of the celestial object it represents. It's known that his prowess in various fields of both magic and military combat has led him to be offered a position as one of the Ten Wizard Saints. He decides to accept the position because he sees it as a chance to have access to certain information that's classified to certain individuals within the council; his reason is less noble than Haruto's — the latter joined in order to make an example of himself for the people. Argo later states that his reasons are a bit similar, but the access was the main reason for the title acceptance. Like certain characters in the series, he's able to utilize the Soul Armours. In his case, his was made by Undine herself through very orthodox methods, crafted at the exact same time as his sibling's very own; it's only usable through the special limiter made by his mother to restrain his ever-growing power. Donning it in certain situations, he becomes Soul Armor Knight Kaiser (神鎧纏最高戦士常宵闇守護 (ソウル・アーマー・ナイト・カイザー), Sōru Āmā Naito Kaizā; lit. meaning "God-Armour-Clad Supreme Warrior Everlasting Dusk Guardian").

Appearance
Argo has been described in many instances as "handsome", "cool" and "sexy" by those who see him; this ironically contrasts with his somewhat-rough persona he exudes on a daily basis. It's said that he unintentionally garnered the attention of all the females who have encountered him; this especially held true to those at La Pucelle, who've seen him countless times when he converses with either Kairi or Noah, and those within the Magic Council. Even certain individuals in the storyline, such as Alexis Tenjouin and Kaguya Kobayashi commented on his appearance at one time or another, despite having interests in other individuals. The only ones immune to his "lady-killing charms", as Deen & Jin likes to comically put it, are his sister Kairi — though she does admit he is attractive as the entire student body sees her as cute, his mother Undine — who's in-fact not much attracted to the opposite gender (not yet at least), & Giselle Mercury — who only has interest in Zanma. In fact, he's been featured multiple times in Sorcerer's Magazine, being highly ranked in the Top Five of “Mage you want to have as a Boyfriend”, much to his embarrassment as he doesn't think of himself as worthy of such a compliment; interestingly enough, he's reached the #1 spot on multiple cases, something that he didn't expect. It should be noted that, like Jin, he has a remarkable air of confidence and stoicism surrounding him; this ironically, befits him characteristically, unlike the former. It's because of this trait that the two are so friendly with other.

Because of the multiple experiences & hardships he's been through in life, coupled with the modifications done to him upon joining the Magic Council — acting as its mercenary while doubling as one of its Rune Knight Captains, thus allowing him to attain the status as Super Soldier, along with the dangerous missions he constantly goes on — whether its on the orders of his mother or the council members themselves, Argo has a very-toned and muscular body; this further augments his attractiveness, making him even more desirable amongst the female populace. Not only that, he's exceedingly tall, possessing tan-colored skin. This, in short, makes him a person of heightened physical stature, his build outclasses most athletes and soldiers by miles and margins. He holds a broad build, with a full set of muscles around his abdomen, back, and arms, but most evidently his legs, which are rarely revealed to anyone thanks to his choice of clothing. It's also known that said body is very durable because of the extreme training, dangerous situations he tends to be under, and modifications he went through in order to obtain it, being able to take the brunt of many fatal attacks and emerging with nothing but mere scratches. However, because of those same past experiences that he has scars all over his body; some are noticeable, others not so much. The most prominent one is the small marking seen underneath his burnt-red, estranged hairstyle, which has many bangs jutting out in different directions. One of the most noticeable traits is his heterochromia; this means he has two different-colored eyes. The one on his left is slate-grey, while the one on the right is golden-yellow. It's later revealed in his backstory that he's received much hassle because of it — it was a sign of a bad omen where he used to live, thus he was orphaned shortly after his parents had mysteriously died. Later, his golden-eye was modified by his mother, Undine, turning it into an artificial eye that holds many functions. A comical note made by Undine on many occasions is that, like Jin and Haruto, he's *ehem* "well-endowed" — something that she makes fun of for all three of them; she found out this fact when she performs monthly exams on them in-order to check up on her children/test subject's overall health amongst other things. It seems that, like the other two, he gets flustered when she brings up this topic — especially in-front of Kairi, who's clueless on what she means; either he or the other two would often try to shift the subject, much to her amusement.

Like his sister, Kairi, he has two attires; each one holds to a certain occasion. When he's working as a mercenary or when he's doing business for his mother, his outfit consists of a dark sleeveless tank-top that goes right up to his neck, revealing an ample amount of muscular definition. He wears a dark sweater over it in certain cases, usually if the weather starts to get colder. It's topped off with a wine red jacket with black trimmings & decorated with various metal designs; it should be noted that there are pockets in the front for practical purposes. He wears green military-style khaki pants, which has two larger pockets on each side, ending near the base of his lower leg; when it meets with his red, thick wool socks that's worn under his dark military-esque boots that has a metal buckle on each side, containing a red-piece of Lacrima formed in the shape of a diamond at its epicenter — the purpose being unclear at this point, it creates a miniature ballooning-effect. It's held together by a cloth-like belt with a metal buckle, the strap's end hanging freely. Interestingly enough, this outfit's designed is slightly based off of the one worn by members of Daisenkō Clan, something noticed by Jin himself, and later admitted to be true by both Undine and Argo themselves — the former being its creator, saying that their uniforms are perfect for combat situations. This outfit is very flexible, fitting its status as combat-oriented and is made from the same material as Undine's lab coat; this means that it self-cleaning and self-repairing, given enough time. This is his main outfit, commonly seen throughout the storyline. Argo's second attire is more geared to relaxation time, usually when he's on break, spending time with his family, or when its the weekend. The outfit is also combat-oriented for emergency purposes, but not as much as his main one. It's something that one would expect him to wear, as it somewhat matches his rough personality, yet amplifies his physical appearance to match that of a "punk". Consisting of an untucked dress shirt and a silk tie loosened around his neck, he wears black jeans that fit tightly around his legs, revealing their muscular definition, unlike in previous attire — where his pants purposely hid said definition, with a white leather belt; the belt has a red Lacrima in the shape of a rectangle, not unlike his boots; the purpose behind said Lacrima implant is unknown at this point. However, it's powers are only seen upon the activation of Argo's magical powers or when exerting greats amounts of energy in one sitting. He wears an unzipped hoodie over his dress shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Over it, he wears a blazer that's also has its sleeves rolled up to its elbows; however, its much higher than the hoodie, as the latter is the most prominent feature that Argo wants to show off; despite its normal appearance, it's very durable, made from an extremely strong material, thus is able to take the brunt of even the most powerful attacks and suffer little damage. To top it all off, he wears boots; unlike his previous pair, they are made from various pieces of brown leather and jut outwards near the top, making them look loose. Also, it's string-based; Argo ties them in a strange fashion, having it surround the base multiple times, making a distinct separation of the top and bottom before ending it in the usual knot. The bottom have grips on them, as with normal boots, but they're much stronger, as they're made from a combination of steel and rubber mixed into one in a careful process. Thus, Argo is able to grip onto even the most slippery of surfaces with no adverse effects whatsoever. Also, it enhances his kicking strength greatly, letting him cause even heavier damage to his adversaries/targets with little to no effort on his part.

It's noted that in these two attires, he always wears his limiter, something he never goes without; it was a gift from the one he cherishes the most — Undine, the one who gave him a new lease on life. Also, it's for emergency purposes just in-case he needs to don his Soul Armor in order to combat potential threats that far exceed his own expectations.

Equipment
Lacrima (魔水晶 (ラクリマ), Rakurima; lit. "Magical Crystal"): Lacrima is a Magic crystalline substance found in both Earth Land and Edolas. Lacrima can be powered up with different spells and used for different purposes. Lacrima is crystallized Magic. Metaphysically, Lacrima calls upon the wisdom of the world in order to manipulate nature itself. This manifests as the phenomenon of magic for most Lacrima, although other Lacrima pieces enhance the user's abilities. To withdraw the power from the stabilized crystal, a shock triggered by the user's mind is required. As a result, the Lacrima user's mind is weakened and frequent use of Lacrima without rest taxes their stamina. A Mage can charge their Magic into a Lacrima to suit their uses. Lacrima is best used when slotted into a weapon or a piece of armour. Once slotted into an equipment piece, the user can unleash powerful attacks or call upon special effects relating to the type of Lacrima itself. Using Lacrima has both pros and cons. Depending on the type and strength of the Lacrima equipped, some stats may be hindered or enhanced. It's known that Argo is one of the main users of this mysterious crystal; he uses it for combat purposes. Equipped on his clothes and other gear, they serve a variety of purposes, most of which are completely unique to his person. One such purpose is the usage of its power in tandem with his Divine Tool; the latter has been modified to such an extent that it's able to incorporate other elements in order to let Argo have access to a slew of abilities with the addition of boosting it's already immense power. Argo carries a pouch on his person, filled with small lacrima crystals; they serve to aid him when the time comes.

Shikei (死刑, Death Penalty): Originally, Shikei was a large handcannon-esque revolver, its make completely in metal, while sporting five unraveling barrels that came to form a cross motif, and a wicked, menacing, and devilish aesthetic using sharp and sleeked adornments, all in metallic grey and dark black. Any bullets formed from the Shikei appear noticeably solid, at least when unfired, rather than just the standard bullets of magic; this ensures that they will be able to deal tremendous damage, and are automatically guided to the target via heat-seeking properties. Shikei had unlimited ammo, and all of its shots dealt tremendous damage; it was said that the bullets never miss. The bullets had three small spheres orbiting around it, in a similar manner to moons around a planet. When coming into contact with a target, the disordered rotations of the individual attack, created by the central and smaller ones spinning in different directions, interacted with each other to form a massive and turbulent wave-like vortex that demolishes everything that it comes into contact with. The Death Penalty, known formally as Capital Punishment, is one of the highest sentences laws and states can give out to offenders and criminals, as a form of punishment, and to halt political dissent. Argo found it during one of his missions. Upon seeing the wear and tear, he gave it to his foster mother, Undine Hoshikagumi. Upon a closer diagnostic, she stated that it needed to be re-built from scratch as it's been heavily damaged and there was much wear in most of the parts. Upon leaving it with her, the latter used her strange scientific methods & various materials she had at her disposal in order to make it new again; the end result was something he didn't expect. When he received it back at the same time Kairi had with a renewed Thunderbrand — both of whom still retained their core abilities that gave them their status as a Divine Tools respectively along with their individual sentience, Argo's weapon took on a new form. In this form, is classified as a "Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe" (変化銃剣剳 (バリアント・バリスティック・チェーン・サイス), Barianto Barisutikku Chēnsaisu) or "VBCS" for short. Argo noted that it's more high-tech than before; Undine noted that she had to use Orichalcum and other materials in order to re-forge it. Not only that, the process took longer than expected, thus few additions were made, such as equipping it to use Lacrima in order to enhance its overall capabilities and the like; however, she also noted that the new weapon had some of its old parts but converted into a new form. This is because they could be salvaged, thus re-usable; the most prominent examples are the barrel and the core, both of which are the core parts of the Divine Tool itself. It was something that Argo didn't expect. Upon closer inspection, the weapon has a thick, gray colored sheath with a sharp edge, similar to an over-sized cleaver. Although serving as a sheath, it does possess a cutting edge and can be used effectively as a weapon. When unsheathed, Shikei appears to be a dark gray katana and is equally as effective as if not more than, its sheath. The essence of both is that they fit together as one but come out to be two, so that they are compact for easier carrying. When in sheathed form, Shikei is held by the hilt, but when the two components separate, the sheath is held by a small rectangular hole near the bottom. The katana also has a compact, striker fired pistol built into its hilt. The pistol is used as a ranged weapon and its recoil can be used to swing or anchor the blade. In pistol form, the weapon resembles a kama, with the gun barrel pointed in the opposite direction of the edge. The blade itself seems to be very strong, able to cut through metal with little resistance. The end of the katana's blade appears to have a sharpened double-edge, terminating in a raised spike. The spike and double-edge would allow Argo to have the main edge and pistol barrel facing outward while maintaining a potentially lethal hold on an enemy. To transform, the blade will flip down from the hilt along the user’s arm, then the top half will slide over the bottom half to shorten its length. After explaining the basis of their enhanced weapons, she told them about their nature and warned them to treat them with the utmost care. Agreeing, he took his new and improved weapon, dubbing it as "Mortalitate Quam Rector" (死神の名で過激罰の管理者 (モルタルテイト·クワムー·レクター) Mōtaruiteito Kuwamu Rekutā; Latin for "Ruler of Mortality & Death", Japanese for "Administrator of Extreme Punishment in the name of the Death God"); it's one of his most beloved possessions. He only uses it on certain occasions and like Kairi & her weapon, they share a very intimate relationship as the two have very similar qualities; in fact, like Kairi, he's able to bring out the weapon's true potential even in this new form. It's much more than any other of its previous wielders. It should be noted that when Argo is not using this weapon, it is usually kept in a special pack that he has at his right side. Later on, he discovers that it has another function — it can act as a kusarigama. Because of the way it's shaped while in pistol mode, when attaching something to it, he can swing it around letting it reach targets from a certain range. What's more, by using the special function in its pistol form, it can used as a recoil of sorts, letting it be launched at incredible speeds & great velocity, thus making the attack even more lethal. Argo got the idea after battling against chain-sickle mages while on various missions; he started to use his Iron-Make: Chains, which he tied to his left arm & around Shikei's trigger in pistol form. In this state, he freely swinging it around. With this, the weapon becomes even more of a force to be reckoned with.
 * Lacrima Magazine-Based Capabilities: Unlike before, this new version of Shikei is equipped to be used in-unison with Lacrima; while maintaining its incredible shooting capabilities and infinite ammo supply, by inserting a certain magazine in the bottom of Shikei, the crystals re-act to the newly converted core & barrel of the weapon itself. This causes it to glow a faint hue via. the gray stripes on said weapon. Being in-tandem with the magazine, when one of the Lacrima crystals are used, the gray stripes will glow in the same color as said Lacrima crystal. Thus, the ability activates. It should be noted that the abilities used aren't just restricted to just the weapon itself; it can also affect Argo himself or even the enemy. But this depends on the Lacrima used. These abilities prove to be handy in tight situations, but Argo uses them on only the strongest of opponents, mixing them in with his other magical abilities and physical prowess, allowing him to get the upper hand on them in combat. Because there's magic in these mystical crystals, it barely takes a dent in his overall magical power. On the downside, each ability can be used once for a few minutes before it de-activates; the Lacrima crystals are small, thus their effects are a lot shorter. When all of them have run-out, he would have to re-fill the magazine again with a new set of crystals; not only that, the crystals take a bit of time to properly synchronize with the weapon itself. When its done, the stripes on the weapon will glow a gray-hue. If one factors all of these in, it's concluded that the cool-down time for the usage of Lacrima-based abilities is properly surmounted to ten minutes at best; it's something that they can use to their advantage in order to mount a counterattack against Argo's person.


 * Red: This lacrima allows for Argo's offensive power, both physical and magical, to be increased two-fold. However, it last for five minutes at best before it de-activates. When this is active, it takes the form of a fiery-red aura that surrounds his body. It's one of his most commonly-used lacrima, as it allows him to land heavier blows against his opponents.


 * Green: This lacrima allows for an increase of Argo's already inhuman speed and reaction time. It's signified by a light-green aura surrounding his person; it tend to take the form of wisps of wind, one of the two elements that's related to speed, alongside the lightning element. It's very useful as it allows him outspeed his opponents, dodge multiple point-blank range attacks with ease, enhance his hyper combat skills, and take out an entire group of opponents in a very short amount of time. However, it only last for about five minutes. It's one of the few lacrima that enhances his physical prowess instead of the weapon.


 * Violet: This lacrima allows Argo's weapon to be coated with a type of corrosive poison. Activated for about five minutes at a time, it surrounds the weapon in a violet hue; this goes from the blade to even the bullets. Anything the weapon should touch will be slowly corroded; for inorganic organisms and objects, the corrosion will be fast-acting. The only exception is that if the object in question has an agent that slows down the process or halts it completely. For organic beings, the corrosion process is slow. However, should it enter the body, it will be hastened to some extent. It's known that the process is extremely painful. However, as stated before, it can either be halted or stopped completely. It doesn't work against those who have some sort of immunity to poison. It should be noted that the more times the target is struck with the poison-imbued Shikei, the more likely they will succumb to its effects. This is because the poison accumulates over time, becoming more powerful as it does so. Argo uses this on certain occasions, being of his most used.
 * Silver: This lacrima allows a weakened form of both Illusion Magic and the Afterimage Technique. When he's hit, it leaves a dark haze of sorts that not only blocks the opponent's vision, but also the equilibrium & perception temporarily. This is possible because of the haze releasing small eternano particles that enter the opponent's body, reaching the brain and interfering with the nuclear signals it sends to the rest of the body that specifically deals with both ocular and motor functions. However, the effects last for a few minutes, which can be reduced if the opponent has a grasp on handling their own magical power. This one of the least used lacrima functions, reserving it as a last resort.


 * Black: Considered to be his most powerful, this lacrima allows for Argo to utilize the dangerous properties of Destruction Magic; basically, his weapon is coated in the magic itself, signified by a dark aura that surrounds said weapon in the period that the lacrima is active. When Argo uses his weapon, anything it touches is completely destroyed. This includes magical defenses and armors, both of which are known to be highly durable. The only exception is that it's unable to destroy anything imbued with or crafted from Orichalcum — the hardest known metal in Daybreak. However, it will damage it in the process, albeit to some degree. This is perfect when clashing with other forces, as it gives him an upper hand. It can also be applied to his bullets as well, allowing him to increase their destructive potential. However, the downside to this is that the lacrima can only be active for a very short period — precisely thirty seconds in any given interval. Thus, like his silver lacrima, it's used as a last resort. It's known that he received this type of lacrima from his fiancèe — Zariyana Lustfield. Her family is the primary creator and utilizer of said lacrima.

Artificial Eye: Sometime after his adoption and his modification into a Super Soldier for the Magic Council, Undine installed an artificial eye into Argo; the purpose of it is to assist him in his various missions, all which are very high-levelled, and to gather information on Undine's behalf. The term "artificial" doesn't truly describe the eye; in fact, it's quite the opposite. His eye is very natural. What gives it the overall definition of being artificial is due to an implanted biochip located above the eye socket. This biochip has a program that emits electromagnetic waves that interfere with the neural synapse, specifically ocular signals. It sends specific information to it, giving certain options and commands. Thus, when Argo accesses it, the information takes the form of various icons, each one allowing him to use a certain function. There appear to be six icons and when one of them is accessed, another six options appear. This means that there are precisely thirty-six options that Argo can choose from, each one more versatile than the last. Some of them include ocular magnification — which is helpful for his assassinations, letting him get a close-up on the said target, data gathering & sending — which is good for getting information on certain subjects, electromagnetic spectrum vision — something that allows to view certain waves and frequencies, thus allowing him to take appropriate action in response to each one and projection — a function that allows him to project an image of various kinds; this is useful for when he's speaking to Undine or another one of his superiors and for disguising him by projecting said images onto his person. Argo explains that nearly all of them are supplementary, meant to either enhance his physical capabilities or perform other non-battle-related functions; it's not meant to be used in combat. However, he also explains that there are exceptions, having one or two that can be used for combat but only under certain circumstances. This eye is, in fact, one of the most useful tools he has in his in his possession; it allows him to accomplish his missions more smoothly and with a higher success rate, something that it was originally intended to do. It should be noted that it can be used under any condition, as it's a natural part of him.


 * Slave Red (真紅の魔眼 (スレーブ・レッド), Surēibu Reddo; lit. "Crimson Demon Eyes"): A power that originally belonged to Giselle Mercury, being of her own design and later copied by Undine herself at some point in time. The latter found a way to install the spell into the biochip by extracting & copying the information on said spell from her brain and converting it into data. She then downloaded the data into the biochip. This spell can only be accessed through the use of the upper central icon. After that, the eye will flash a brilliant crimson. This signifies the spell's activation. Like with Undine & Giselle's version of the spell, it allows Argo to enter the opponent's mind and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will. This is highly-valued as it allows him to perform certain functions on his opponents that he can't do through normal means. This includes implantation certain memories — which causes a shift in perception, memory erasure, and anything similar to those effects. Not only that, he can re-write any commands that were originally implanted in an individual by someone else, allowing him to free someone from mind control. However, unlike Giselle & Undine's respective versions of the technique, Argo's is slightly weaker, being artificial in nature and relying on very little magic to activate. He also needs some sort of eye contact in order for it to work. Not only that, it can only be used a certain amount per day; in Argo's case, it's a maximum of four times a day. Should he go over the limit for any reason, not only will it not work, but he will injure himself mentally. Thus, Argo is wise in when it needs to be utilized. Outside of his other magical and combat skills respectively, it proves to be one of his most powerful and his most resourceful.

Quotes

 * "Oy, oy, oy! That's not cool! Do you know where you're looking? That's are a man's— What the hell am I saying?! Could you just please...... For all of our sakes, just stop! You had your fun. Forgive me if I'm sounding rude, but that type of comment is not something to be really proud of, to be honest. It's very unlady-like for someone of your stature." — Argo showing his embarrassment towards his mother's perverted comment about his "male pride".
 * "All I want is for someone to understand me. All of my life, people despise me and treated me like the plague because of my gifts and upbringing. The called my so many things and done various acts to me that I began to lose hope in this wretched world. I have been desperate since then, wanting to find some person to connect to. I want someone to scold me for doing something stupid and praise me for when I do good. I want someone to be there in my hardest of times, helping me to get through it. I want.... emotional support, one filled with genuinity. I know I sound childish, but that's all I want. Nothing more, nothing less." — Argo trying to find the emotional solace he's been so desperately looking for.
 * "Such disgusting creatures. You people came here, wreak havoc amongst the populace, and act you own the joint. Who the fuck you think you are?! Huh?! Look at the faces of the people you've just hurt! They injured..... Scared..... Crying.... Falling into despair.... They did nothing to deserve such treatment. What's worse is that you're standing there, laughing at their pain. I will not allow for such actions to continue. Even if it takes every cell in my body, I will destroy every last one of you cretins. I will make sure you'll never show your face on this plane of existence ever again!" — Argo's rage towards a Zodiac Knight for hurting innocent by-standers.
 * "W-what? Me..... A Wizard Saint....! But, that's one of the highest positions that one is awarded. They're known for making great contributions to society as a whole. Not only that, they're feared for their power. It takes a great deal in-order to become one. It's every wizard's dream to someday be promoted to one. Now me, of all people, is being promoted to such a position....? What did I do that's so great anyways? All I did was do a few missions on behalf of the Magic Council..... I get it now; maybe it's because they see something in me. They're merely rewarding me for my "hard work", but they could done it some other way. This is a bit much for a lowlife such as myself; I'm merely a mercenary, a person who does the dirty work in the shadows to make sure society is a better place for the rest. All the while, I stockpile more sins as I go along. I really don't deserve it..... What should I do?" — Argo's utter shock & disbelief upon learning that he's been promoted to a Wizard Saint by the upper echoleon of the Magic Council.
 * "My magic is mainly combat-oriented; it's main purpose is for the complete domination of the opposing side. There's no such thing as gentle or merciful with my magic. Everything it does is geared towards absolute destruction of my enemies. Before it, all is reduced to utter nothingness. Maybe it's because of my upbringing and personality that it turned out to be like that. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the truth. I've been through some fucked-up shit most of my life. And they always that 'magic=feelings' concept is true in more ways than one. It's proven. Even my status as a mercenary and the various epithets that were given to me tend to reflect this fact." — Argo talking about the nature of his magic.
 * "So..... That's the plan, huh? Though it may be a bit misguided in some aspects, I can see the legitimacy behind it — especially coming from a genius mind such as her's. And, this is all for the sake of humanity. No one would suffer and if they did, it can easily be mended once the plan comes to fruition. All right, I will assist my mom in any way so that her wishes may come true. I at least owe her that much." — Argo upon learning of his mother's true objectives.
 * "There are people in this world who accepted me for who I am; they saw the real me, the one crying for help. They helped me get through this harsh reality. They peeled away the layers of my jaded heart, revealing the various, welling-up emotions buried within. They made my cry, relieving me of all of my burdens. They gave me something to live for. They....showed me what it's like to be human. Me, this monster filled with so much regret. For that, I cherish them greatly; they're not random people I just walk by everyday, they're family. For that, I would fight in their stead; I will make sure nothing comes to harm any of them. It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; before I could never fight for myself because I knew it was meaningless. But now its different. For others, especially those like them, I will not only fight, but if it should come it, I will gladly kill!" — Argo showing his love & thankfulness for Kairi, Haruto, Undine, & Jin, amongst many others.

- Lord Arceus

Kairi Chiyami (海里血闇, Chiyami Kairi) is a deuteragonist debuting in season 2 of Daybreak: A Change of Perspective; she also serves as one of its minor antagonists in the storyline, as her and her brother's actions secretly initiate a chain of reoccurring problems that fits in to their mother's grandiose scheme upon her command.

Originally an orphan that was captured for experimentation by members of the Magic Council, she's the foster daughter of Undine Hoshikagumi and the adopted younger sister of both Argo Hiyamori & Haruto Tsumkaimei; she's very close to her new family, willing to do anything so that nothing comes to harm any of them. Wanting to repay the very woman who gave her a new lease on life, she decided to apply to La Pucelle — a school blooming with potential youth and filled with many secrets, most of which pertain to the history of the magical world; it was also where her mother formerly worked. Upon entry, she's classified as an Ōryū-class student; this makes her a well-rounded individual in abilities. With much hard work and dedication, she gains the fame and love of both the student body and faculty; her prowess is known throughout the school. It's also because of this that she immediately forms an inner circle of friends — all of whom cherish her very dearly and see each other as sisters, something she hasn't experienced in such a long time. Through strange circumstances, she becomes close friends with Alexis Tenjouin. However, unbeknownst to nearly all of them, she's actually a spy; she applied to observe actions of the student body & faculty and eliminate any possible threats to her mother's future plans. She later becomes a supporter & a benefactor of sorts to Team Daybreak, helping them out in certain situations under Undine's command; she also taken a certain interest in some of its members, specifically Tsuruko Sejren herself. Later in the storyline, she becomes acquainted with Oz Feyginmore — the strongest Genbu student at La Pucelle & benefactor of Undine, having particular interests in her plans. Also, after learning Argo's forced engagement to Zariyana Lustfield — future matriarch of the Lustfield Family & one of the most famed seniors at La Pucelle, she becomes the future cousin-in-law of Jin. This tends to get on her nerves at times, considering that she finds the man to be a bit annoying, despite being her eldest brother's best friend.

She's known to be one of the most powerful individuals in the series, being a master of energy manipulation and having tons of knowledge on a variety of subjects related to the storyline, despite her young age. She wields the element of lightning, being the series most powerful user, and the current possessor of the Divine Tool of representing said element — Thunderbrand; she doubles as its most-powerful user as she's able to bring out the weapon's true potential. Like her brother, her prowess allows her to stand up to individuals such as members of the Zodiac Knights. She's acquired many titles in the series, which denote to her overall power; such titles include "Thunder and Lightning Empress of the Nine Heavens" (九天の雷電女帝, Kyūten no Raidenyotei), for her utter mastery & destructive potential over the element of lightning, and "Ōryū's Shining Queen of Ruination" (光滅后の黄龍, Kōmetsukisai no Ōryū) by the student body because of her genius, being ranked as the top of the school, and destructive potential of her magic. Like certain characters in the series, she's able to utilize the Soul Armours. In her case, her's was made by Undine herself through very orthodox methods, crafted at the exact same time as her sibling's very own. It's usable through the two flower-designed hair clips she always wears. Donning it in certain situations, she becomes Soul Armour Knight Priamus (神鎧纏最高戦士照光暁定規 (ソウル・アーマー・ナイト・プリアモス), Sōru Āmā Naito Puriamosu; lit. "God-Armour-Clad Supreme Warrior Illuminated Dawn Ruler").

Appearance
Kairi is described by many as "adorable" and "petite" by many characters in the storyline; it's such that they tend not to take her seriously at times because of her outward appearance, especially her enemies. This is how they're easily defeated later on by her awe-inspiring power, making them bow to her in defeat. However, it seems that she's popular amongst the students of La Pucelle because of this, saying that it was one of her most defining features; this is held especially true amongst the male students, who formed a small fan-club around her, dedicating it to her cuteness. Becoming well-aware of this fact over time, on certain occasions she would use this to her advantage in order to get what she needs; she, however, tries to stray away from this as she thinks it makes her into a shallow person. Argo tends to boast about his sister's overall cuteness at certain durations, much to her embarrassment.

Short in stature, Kairi has gentle facial features for someone her age; she has noticeable dimples and a round, soft complexion that's similar to that of a baby's own. She has chestnut brown hair, which matches her eyes, and it's kept short; the bangs tends to hang over her face. However, it's kept up by two flower-based hair clips — which in-reality are the two items used for her Soul Armour transformation into Priamus; she's never seen without it, being precious gist from her mother, Undine — the one who gave her a new lease on life; they serve as key pieces in any and all of her outfits worn throughout the storyline. She known to be an A-Cup; this seen in a comedic-light, as this not only adds to her young, cutesy appearance overall but she's compared to other female characters because of it, most noticeably Tsuruko herself. This leads to a development of a complex of sorts over it, doing anything in order to increase her bust size; she even attempted to ask her mother at one point to develop some sort of boob growth serum so that she can become bigger. However, she was shot-down, Undine saying that "she [Kairi] doesn't need a bigger chest size; boobs are just two lumps of fat on a woman's chest. Nothing more, nothing less." This is much to her chagrin, comically pointing out that she's only saying that because she has boobs herself.

For attire, Kairi has been seen with two different sets. The first is her school uniform, custom-made and can be considered to be quite expensive. It's comprised of a short-sleeved white blouse worn under a light brown vest with the school emblem on the left side. Kairi also wears dark tan pocketed skirts that reach halfway down her thighs. Underneath, she wears cyan shorts; there seems to be a pet-peeve about this amongst the male students, saying that it takes away from her appeal; now they can't wonder what type of underwear she likes to wear. She retorts it's for that exact reason that she wears the shorts, as she doesn't want her skirt to be flipped up constantly and her underwear shown, much to their furthered disappointment. She known to sport white loose/slouch socks and brown loafers. When the weather gets cooler, she alters her attire to fit the situation; replacing her loose-socks & shorts with thick, black stockings/leggings (thick & dark enough to completely hide her underwear from view), she also sports a tan buttoned jumper (a shade darker than the summer vest) and a checkered blue skirt with black and tan criss-crossing lines.

When not in school and is usually hanging-out or attending to other private business, Kairi dons her second attire; this is the one that her brother personally had custom-made for her. It's to match his own to an extent — making them look like they're matching to an extent, and fitted for combat purposes — it serves to be easy to move in, letting her use her small stature and flexibility to her advantage. It consists of an unzipped, black leather bomber jacket with a fur trim collar and fur trim edge near the bottom. She also wears v-neck white blouse with dark-blue outlines near the collar — which is noted to end in a cross-shaped pattern of sorts; much to her slight embarrassment, it also shows some of her cleavage through the small-centerpiece, something she chewed her brother out for, but quickly dismissed soon after; she was trying her damnest not to be ungrateful at that moment. It's complemented with black skirt with three interconnecting belts, and black wide-heeled boots and gloves with a soft internal material. Oddly enough, the outfit comes with a chain with a strange pattern. She often wears it, as it makes her feel a bit feminine at times. The material used is the same fiber as her mother's lab coat; this would be by default that it repels dirt and is self-cleaning & self-repairing, taking a certain amount of time in-order to do so.

Something that she rarely wears, it's reserved for special occasions; either when she's hanging out with her friends or spending time with her family on a type of outing. Her foster mother, Undine, worried that she was being too tomboyish and was less feminine. Thus, she took the time to buy these clothes for her to wear; however, Kairi disliked them when they were presented to her saying that "I [Kairi] don't like them. They look to stuffy for me to move-in. Can't you find me something else that's a bit more of my style? Y'know, something like the one Argo bought for me?", much to her mother's chagrin. But after thinking of how much time her mother was actually was worried about her, not only as a parent but as a fellow female, she tried them on; surprisingly enough, they were very comfortable and mobile, in-contrast to her original perspective of them — something that made her mother elated. The outfit consists of a white blouse, it comes with a light-pink sleeveless hoodie, the hood itself has a strawberry-based decorations all over. Underneath, she wears a skirt that's a brighter shade of ink, but a bit faded; it's decorated with frill along the edges, having a lacy bow near the top-center. Since it's the same length as her school uniform skirt, she wears a light pair of shorts — which is also pink in color. To top it off, she wears a clear pair of low-platform open-toed heels, each one having a ribbon decoration to it. In some instances, she also wears a large white straw hat with a ribbon flowing from its center. Also, she wears a mini-purse, the strap being very lengthy; it's such that it makes the purse itself reach a bit past her waist. When she wore it outside for the first time, she caught the attention of many people — they often complemented her, saying that she's "cute", "adorable", "mature", and "ladylike". Even her friends said she looks gorgeous, much to her embarrassment. Argo states that this was good for her, as she can show-off her true self when she wears it. Jin & Haruto further stated that she's more like a little sister when she wears it, much to her disdain; though coming from them, or anyone else in general, it tends to be the natural reaction. Though not truly counted, this is actually Kairi's third attire, bring the total amount to three.

Equipment
Thunderbrand (封雷剣, Fūraiken): The Thunderbrand is the Divine Tool of Lightning; it is a katana terminating in a long hook, with a shimmering blue, lightning-like blade. The guard is oval, and the tsuka-ito seems to be braided from white and black material. The blade features several intricate ornaments, most notable is a relief of a dragon at the endpoint of the hilt; there are two holes on the blade near the hilt. It is noted to be the natural counter to the Fireseal; this is evident in its design, as well as its powers. By focusing magical energy into the two holes, the energy will build up and then release; coating the blade in an aura of lightning; allows the user to generate blue lightning from various parts of the blade, which is mostly used for offensive purposes. Such distinctive "blue lightning" possesses high voltage and great destructive power, and, much like that employed in standard Lightning Magic, can be generated in places away from the user. Electricity can be charged in the blade and be used to make slashes and thrusts more deadly. Likewise, the electricity in the blade can be launched as projectiles in different speed and strength. The maximum power output of Thunderbrand is around 20 billion volts. The blade is powerful enough to cause city-wide blackouts. Because of this enormous amount of power, the wielder of the sword constantly generates electrical fields that cause sensitive animals such as cats and dogs physical discomfort whenever they are near them. Also, because of this, wielder can sense anything that approaches them when an object reflects the electromagnetic waves. The lightning produced by the Thunderbrand has a charge of 9,500,000,000 KW and a voltage of 900,000,000 V. Kairi is Thunderbrand's current possessor. She's able to wield the weapon because of her utter mastery over the element of lightning itself; in fact, she's reputed to be the greatest Lightning Magic-user & electrokinetic master in the Daybreak series. Her prowess even surpass her foster mother's, who's known for her mastery over the five basic elements. Because of that, she's able to wield the weapon with mere ease. It can be observed that the two having a deep connection with each other because of similar traits they share. It's also because of this that she's the most proficient user of said Divine Tool and her prowess with it is unsurpassed, outclassing the original wielders by a milestone; she's able to bring out 100% of its power, something that the others weren't able to do. The blade was given to her by her adopted mother and the Leo Symbiote, Undine Hoshikagumi, at the exact same time that Argo Hiyamori, her adopted older brother, received the other Divine Tool, Shikei; it was done only after Undine discovered it during an exhibition with her team at some ancient ruins and restored it through strange scientific methods.
 * Enhanced Lightning Magic & Electrokinetic-Based Powers: The primary ability of Thunderbrand is the significant increase in all electric-based powers and abilities; even the magical aura of the mage is affected. This means that any technique or ability used through this blade is magnified nearly one-hundred times over. This is because the blade can produce its own magic and the voltage it emits constantly far exceeds that of any other known source; its power is comparable to that of the fiercest of thunderstorms. It can be easily concluded that any technique used through the blade is considered to be very lethal; a single use can turn an opponent into mere ashes with ease and destroy the most fortified defenses. Since Kairi is the only known user to bring out the blade's full power, her mastery over the element of lightning has made it so that she can't be surpassed in any way, shape, or form. This is the power behind the Divine Tool of Lightning. Kairi tends to use her most powerful techniques through this blade to expend less magical energy. This way, she can cast more than one at any given time while increasing their overall potency; such a display is seen where she annihilated an entire group of S-Class demons with a single spell and still had much energy to spare. It should also be noted that the blade can also gather and manipulate plasma and/or any form of nearby to a limited degree; this leads to the creation of even more lightning for Kairi to use at her disposal. This tends to be called the "Unlimited Charge Effect", which is only accessible to the upper echoleon of electromasters and high-grade lightning-based magic & magical items respectively; this furthers the weapon's reputation as a Divine Tool and shows the infinite potential at Kairi's fingertips. When certain abilities are used, they tend to be done either on a massive scale, their effects are more potent than prior, or in some cases both — this method expends more energy, thus tends to tire out Kairi very easily; even abilities that are considered to be unnatural, such as the usage of Black Lightning — Kairi's most powerful-type currentky in her possession is affected by this particular ability. Passive abilities, such as the creation of storms or the control over various types of waves of the electromagnetic spectrum become more apparent and happen at a quicker rate; she also gains a greater control over them at this point, thus being able to perform feats that she couldn't do before, despite her overall mastery of the element in-question. It's unknown if there are any more known abilities besides this primary one, but it's said that Kairi has exclusive access to and fully mastered all others because of the close bond she shares with this weapon. Even when the Divine Tool shouldn't be in her possession at a particular time, she can still access this particular ability because of two reasons. First, as stated before, she has a close relationship with the blade. Second, she's been constantly exposed to the all-encompassing and extremely potent influence the blade possesses; it shouldn't be far-fetched for something like this to happen against her will, especially if she's the most powerful user of the weapon to-date.

 * "Have you heard? Y'know, about that one student that roams the halls of the school; he looks to be around Argo's & Jin's respective age group, but has features that resembles someone in high school. I heard its one of the many wonders. I also heard that he has special privileges, so he doesn't have to attend classes. Guess he has a lot of free time these days. The only time anyone gets to see him is if they're wandering the halls for a very long time or during one of the assemblies. I have to say, it seems to be pretty eerie to me. I wonder if guys like him actually exist?" — Kairi talking about the mystery student that's famed for wandering La Pucelle's hallways at certain times.
 * "M-m-m-m-mom! You shouldn't be making comments like that! It gives off the wrong idea and makes people think you're some kinda perv. Geez, can't you be a little bit more respectful of those around you. You're a person in high position. At least try to act like it from time-to-time instead of being a complete rube. It's more suddle that way." — A baffled Kairi towards one of Undine's perverted comments.
 * "Oh... My... GOD....! It's so~ cute! It looks so fluffy and it's so big! All its features are so irresistible! The big eyes, the stubby arms, even down to its big squishy chest! All of them make it so~ cute! It's even in my favorite shade of pink! I want it! " — Kairi acting cutesy towards a stuffed animal she's head-over-heels for.
 * "Deen-san, you just don't get it. Despite the differences they might have or the similarities they share, they have a knit-tight relationship; they're best friends, a pair who have been through many hardships together. They inspire each other to become stronger; their strength is derived from their bond. Thus, they're naturally the perfect partners. Why do you think they are so powerful? The reason why they are able to act like idiots towards one another is because they know that deep inside, they will accept the other's flaws no matter what it may be. History, status, power difference, etc. None of that matters to them; they don't see those qualities as ones that defines an individual. All that matters to them is what's on the inside; basically, what a true person's colors are. To each other, both of them are easy to read. It's because it's impossible to hide anything from each other; no, scratch that. There's no need to hide anything; the trust they have with each other is immense — so much so that it can make a normal person's skin crawl from the very thought of it. They know that the other will always be there in times of either joy or turmoil. They constantly made vows to each other, some of which still hold even to this day. If you look at it from another view point, they're basically closer than brothers. I dunno what to call it at this point; there's no proper term to describe it. I guess..... they were truly made for each other." — Kairi towards Deen in regards to Argo & Jin's relationship.
 * "You serious, right?! Do you know why I hate you so much? Why I don't think highly of you?! It's because you're a bitch. Yep, that's right! I said it! It's a common fact; there's no other word that perfectly describes someone like you. I know, Tsuruko knows it, Rosa knows it, my friends know it, Argo knows it, everyone in the Genbu household knows it, everyone on your team knows it, and so on! Hell, I bet even your own family knows it! Yeah, that's why they sent you here; they couldn't deal with your bitching anymore! God, I'm surprised such a prestigious school accepted a bitch like you! I bet the principal was threatened because you weren't going to be accepted after seeing how much of a bitch you were up-close! No wonder you're so useless in battle. I saw some of them; it leaves much to be desired. Well, knowing you, the only way you could possibly defeat your enemies is if you bitched at them. Yeah, how about that? That's all you appear to be good for these days. Yeah, you've used your bitch-fu on them; that's the way you win your battles huh! How's that for an afterthought? You know what they should call you? "Kaguya, the mistress of bitching" — perfect name for the queen of all spoiled bitches out there. No, in all seriousness! Five ancient sages of bitchdom all gathered one day on the peaks of Mount Bitch to proclaim your birth! And a hundred years later, when all the bitch stars have aligned, you were born and made everybody's life around you a living hell, because YOU! ARE SUCH! A FUCKING! GOD DAMN! BITCH!" — Kairi, in her extreme amounts of anger, thoroughly and maliciously insulting Kaguya during one of their normal, spite-filled arguments, leaving the latter speechless; she uses a single-word over and over to emphasize her point.
 * "Well, don't you two look bored....? Bad enough you're ugly, now you gotta take your boredom and anger out on those more beautiful than you? How fucking classy. Why don't you two do me a favor and go back from whatever feces-infested crevice you came from? God, just looking at you makes me wanna vomit. Your existence is an insult to all the beautiful people everywhere. I think I should do everyone a favor and destroy you both here and now. Yeah, that would be best. Don't worry, I'll make this quick; if you resist, it's only going to make it all the more harder for me and all the more painful for you." — Kairi casually talking down to two members of the Zodiac Knights while preparing to kill them.

The important elements of the earth compressed into one being, personifying it in all of its glory in every action."

- Lord Arceus

Oz Feyginmore (オズ・フェイジンモア, Ozu Feijinmoa) is an enigmatic individual with his own agenda. He is one of the minor antagonists and minor supporting characters in S2 of the Daybreak series; this is due to his actions coming in conflict with Team Daybreak's. He's considered to be one of the few Slayers seen within said series to-date. Hailed as a natural-born genius, he's the youngest student of his year. He's also the most of powerful Genbu student at La Pucelle. Due to his mastery of the Earth element, his high skill in combat and his extreme levels of intellect, he's been dubbed as "Genbu's Lost Child" (玄武の失わ子, Genbu no Ushinawako) by the student body. His infamy is such that there are few who oppose him.

It's stated that he originates from a family that has a great amount of influence in the Magic Council, and that he is currently the sole heir. Not only that, there are various rumors surrounding his being, most of which tie to the nature of his magic. One is that his magic was given to him by a powerful Earth God. This caused him to be dubbed as the "King of the Earth Lords" (地球の主神, Chikyū no Shushin). Another is that he's tied to Mother Nature herself, as seen in his use of Green Magic. It's unknown if such rumors are true, but he's feared nonetheless. Despite his age, Oz has a vast amount of influence in the world. It's because of this that Undine Hoshikagumi sought him out, believing that he will be beneficial to her future plans. Through much negotiations, Oz decides to join her cause out of interest. In recognition, Argo was assigned to be his personal mentor — wanting the young man to improve his skills. Not only that, she gave him a Soul Armour as recognition of their partnership and his affiliation with her group. When donned, he becomes Soul Armor Knight Gaius (神鎧纏最高戦士加具土命 (ソウル・アーマー・ナイト・ガイウス), Sōru Āmā Naito Gaiusu; lit. "God-Armour-Clad Supreme Warrior Kagutsuchi").

Currently, he's close affiliates of Zariyana Lustfield and Kairi Chiyami — the latter of whom has taken a slight interest in the white-haired young man. He tends to take particular interests in Team Daybreak — specifically Gary Straights and Tsuruko Sejren, believing that the individuals have the power to change the world. Strangely enough, he shares a close relationship with Jin Daisenkō due Oz also being a benefactor of the Magic Council's actions.
