Soul Resonance 0% Soul Wavelength Stable OOC: I don't mind the wait. xD
Leaving behind some money to cover the expenses of all the food both Xavon and Takeshi ate, the meister got out of the booth. "Yeah a small mission sounds nice. We can't start off with anything too big of course." He laughed waiting for Xavon to lead the way somewhere. "I'll follow you, so what kind of missions are we talking here?"
Xavon gets up and leaves a tip then follows takeshi out the door he headed the direction of the academy and waved his telling takeshi to come on"Lets head to the academy maybe we'll find something easy"he laughed and put his hands in his pockets walking casually down the street
Lets get this show on the road shall we
(OOC) my pc is having issues and its getting worse i cant post my normal stuff on here and the whole page is freaking out some how so sorry for not posting alot :/.
Stay out of my way weaklings! I'll show you how it's done!
Soul Resonance 0% Soul Wavelength Stable OOC: Its alright! I have other characters to keep me entertained so I'm all good. 3nodding
Takeshi smiled and followed Xavon but stopped just before he left right out the door. "My first mission along with my first partner here at school. This is going to be exciting. I won't let up, watch out world! Takeshi Nakashima is coming out to play," said Takeshi who was yelling so loud that everyone in the diner could hear him. Everyone aimed their attention at Takeshi making things quietly awkward. "Um..excuse me...sorry for the intrusion, enjoy your meals," he said as he scratched his nose trying to avoid the stares. "Xavon wait for me!" Embarrassed he left the diner in a hurry. This would be where the young meisters journey began on his quest to get stronger and put an end to his father as well aid the world in its time of need.
《 Am I more than you bargained for yet? I've been dying to tell you Anything you want to hear, Cause that's just who I am this week. Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum; I'm just a notch in your bedpost But you're just a line in a song. 》
xxSong just nodded in response, the presence of people totally killing his vibe as he followed Mercedes out of Death Park; letting his newly-found weapon partner navigate them through Death City. To be honest, the weapon wasn't too fond of talking and walking at the same time; so he mostly fell prey to silence as music began to resonate from the pair of headphones around his neck. It would be rude, however, to just put them on and ignore his new weapon partner, so Song managed to refrain from drowning the presence of other people as they walked closer to Death Diner.
Eventually, Song managed to follow Mercedes to their destination, and the boy grabbed the door for her; holding it open and waiting for her to pass into the diner. The place didn't look too bad, a little dinky, but there was other people in it; meaning it didn't totally suck.
《 Drop a heart, break a name We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team! We're going down, down in an earlier round, And Sugar, we're going down swinging! I'll be your number one with a bullet. A loaded god complex, c**k it and pull it. 》

The waiter, not seeing Herald yet, pointed her to a seat and she nodded and quickly walked over and sat down by a window which attracted her attention right away. She never got tired at looking at Death City. It was always so exciting seeing how different this place looked compared to the cities back in her time. She almost had her nose against the glass as she looked at the buildings and people and TV screens, almost forgetting that she had two other people with her. ☾

Mercedes walked along side Song as they walked towards the diner. every so often Mercedes would shift her eyes to the side as she looked at him, his music was playing through the headphones around his neck. Mercedes would smile and lightly nod her head to the music. once reaching the diner, Song opened the door and Mercedes nodded her head towards him with a smile as she walked in and then headed over to a booth in a far back corner. if it got crowded, they wouldn't be bothered all that much sitting here. sliding into the booth, Mercedes would lean forward and folded her arms on the table as she looked over towards Song,"so what do you plan on getting?"
Herald walked into the diner behind Emma, letting her choose where they sat before he sat down in the opposite booth. He looked around slowly at the diner. It wasn't too crowded and it seemed several of the people there were Weapons or Meisters. Emma was definitely excited to be here. He looked over at her as she stared out the window. "You like it here?" Herald asked, half as a statement and half as a question. He looked down at the menu, trying to decide if there was anything he wanted to eat here. Not really, but he decided to choose something anyway. He folded up the menu as he waited for the waiter to come back.

Walking in behind Herald he decided to sit down next to Emma. He figured Herald might not be use to him yet so he tried not to be too much of a bother. Opening the menu he looked at the diner's selection of foods. Finding what he thought he might like he closed the menu and waited for someone to take everyones order. "I thought I would try something new that I've never tasted before." His eyes wandered the place looking at some of the waiters and customers. In his own little world he escaped to his thoughts unaware of what anyone else at the table was doing. If someone were to call his name he would respond but for now you could see how he had been daydreaming. You could tell by the way he stared in this same general area for minutes without turning his attention to anything else.
Takeshi's Techniques - The ones in use will be bolded.
Spells/Powers:
+ Black Step - Very similar to the original Takeshi's blue step the black step is a variation of it. By resonating with himself Takeshi is capable of moving at super high speeds leaving behind a blur like after image of him. The reason why the technique gets the name Black Step is because of the clothing Takeshi wears, when the after image of Takeshi is left it looks all black and fuzzy due to his clothing. Unlike the original the alternate can use this technique in quick succession due to his stamina so he could out speed anyone he comes into contact with. Anyone that is unfortunate enough to battle Takeshi will have a hard time catching up with him. This technique can't be used in his madness release form because Takeshi doesn't travel the way he does when he is using madness to enhance most of his capabilities. Most people confuse this technique as teleportation but truly its Takeshi's speed. In his kishin form this move is referred to him as the black dance due to the dramatically enhanced speed boost.
+ Soul Protect - A technique that is in constant use by Takeshi. In order to escape Shibusen's meisters and weapons Takeshi will use soul protect. This allows Takeshi to bypass soul perception which would be able to distinguish his soul from an average humans soul. Most with soul perception will see his soul as a human soul and have no clue of his warlock soul. He is also capable of disguising his wavelength to that of a regular cat. Since there are certain people that would be able to detect lies due to the fluctuations of wavelengths Takeshi has learned to keep his wavelength calm so no one would be able to detect his lies.
+ Familiars - Around the time Takeshi was still going to the DMA in the alternate universe he managed to animate his toy teddy bear. He named it Cookie and cares a great deal for it, calling it a him instead of a her since it didn't seem as feminine. Normally the stuffed bear is used for stuff such as household chores or guarding Takeshi while he sleeps. Cookie means the world to Takeshi and so far he thinks of them as the only beings he could truly trust. Always around Takeshi, he wears them on an article of his clothing all of the time which is usually his sweater. All he has to do is say his name and the familiar will awaken and grow a bit bigger in size. Cookie can't speak but Takeshi can understand every movement he makes since they have a unique link. Usually when he awakens the stick on the bear in toy mode will also grow. So far Cookie has been known to be used as a spy, guard, and even test dummy for training. Cookie is surprisingly fast and is able to move without detection, especially since he has no soul. After sustaining some damage they will revert back to their toy form. Cookie can scale tall buildings with a super jump but other than that and the previously mentioned features, that's all he could do. His other familiars are a bit different and are summoned for combat reasons. When using his shadow magic Takeshi can create familiars that are produced from his own shadows. These familiars aren't as strong individually but more of as a group. Usually producing five to ten shadows in order to attack his enemies Takeshi will order them to attack his enemies. The first familiars, shadows, are the weakest and capable of just scratching attacks and more stuff when they're in a group. Stalkers are the next level of shadows and much more quick and able than shadows. Most of the time Takeshi will create just five since they are more than capable of fighting by themselves.
+ Madness Overload - A technique that allows Takeshi to take on even the mightiest of foes. By amplifying the madness already within himself, Takeshi can fight on the level of a human that is undergoing madness release. When under the powerful influence of madness Takeshi's traits and abilities and greatly enhanced enabling him fight on an entirely new level. Upon using this technique Takeshi will also change his appearance greatly such as wearing a black cloak made of madness, his feet will also sink into the ground leaving only his legs. The way Takeshi travels now is by sinking into the ground as a shadow, his body now bends and twists in strange ways. Only when Takeshi uses madness overload is he capable of summoning his unique mask and weapon made of madness which you could learn more about in the description above. Among the new abilities Takeshi obtains he can transform his body into a shadow and phase through an enemys attack. This lasts one post and needs a five post cool down. Towards the end of training to learn how to control his madness he developed this form. Amplifying his own madness was a huge risk therefore Takeshi's master didn't like the idea of using it in battle but the young man will still use it if needed. Because of Takeshi's training with the cultist he is able to control the madness even more now and can freely enter this stage whenever he wants and maintain it for extended periods of time. Despite being able to fully control the madness release his personality will change to closely resemble that of a madman. His fighting style will be unpredictable and hard to follow. Just because he loses some sanity Takeshi will still be able to know the difference between friend and foe alike so his allies won't be in any real danger.
+ Kishin Form - This form is a last resort. When Takeshi enters this form his speed is unmatched and his strength unparalleled. His defense is also given an amazing boost as well as all his five senses. Though when undergoing this form Takeshi makes sure to chain these big morning stars on his arms as a sort of restraint. Even with the restraints Takeshi is able to move at high speeds in this form easily as if the restraints didn't even exist. After eating many pure human souls fed to him by the cult that raised him he began to grow more aggressive. More powers were revealed and he was coming closer to becoming a true kishin however he started losing himself. He would see illusions and go into these panic attacks. It was awful for the boy. Losing his sanity he said he wouldn't eat another pure human soul until his training to carry out the cults mission would be carried out. Later he would get better and regain his sanity but he would still swear off of eating pure human souls. He uncovered this form after eating the last pure human soul he would eat at the abandoned hospital. Everyone immediately thought that Takeshi was in the process of becoming a kishin because his wavelength was reaching levels that closely resembled that of a regular kishin, however this wasn't the case. Quickly his body changed and his eyes didn't even look normal anymore. Just as everyone was about to celebrate his awakening as a kishin he reverted back to his average form. Later he would learn that he could enter this form freely though every time he did his body would be under heavy stress afterwards. Despite obtaining this form he can't maintain it for large periods of time unless he becomes a full fledged kishin. By eating just one more pure human soul Takeshi will become a true kishin and transform into his kishin form permanently. Without the restraints Takeshi can attack using his claws or his legs to cause devastating damage. He also gains the ability to manipulate and produce intense black flames of madness from his body. These can be used for a number of purposes such as using it in physical combat, creating barriers of black flames, and even incorporating a battle style for it. The black flames are extremely intense and are more deadly than average flames. Ultimately this form is stronger than his madness overlord form. If Takeshi uses this form in succession he will grow a third eye on his forehead symbolizing that the madness has nearly taken over him and his mind on the border between sane and insane.
+ Madness Manipulation - The ultimate form of madness is being able to harness that power and control it. This ability of Takeshi allows him to use his madness to enhance his physical prowess and speed. Thanks to this ability Takeshi is able to use his shadow magic offensively as well as concentrate the madness through his sword to enhance his cutting ability. Madness manipulation is the ability to use the massive amounts of madness within someone to empower the user or compress it into the form of blasts and beams. Madness is available to everyone since most people have at least a small amount of madness within them. Only those with immeasurable amounts of madness could unleash the full potential of its empowering properties. Depending on the person the effects of madness will effect everyone differently. Being the new embodiment of fear Takeshi's madness is terror. His magic is the control of shadows. By empowering himself with madness he is covered in a black shadow like aura that makes itself very apparent. Though empowering his body with madness gives him a darker look this isn't a form that can be compared to his other two but he does consider it due to the appearance change. This empowerment transformation is known as Shadow Drive hence the aura that would be emanating from him. When compressing the madness into a destructive force Takeshi can create black balls of madness that cause dome like explosions that range quite far. Compressing it into a form of blast is also possible. Finally Takeshi can alter the form of the madness and change the shape of it, enabling him to convert the madness into weapons. In weapon form the madness is highly weak to an Anti-Demon wavelength and will immediately disperse should a user come into contact with it.
+ Black Shadow Magic - This is the type of magic that Takeshi uses as a Warlock. By fusing Takeshi's magical power with the shadows he can manipulate them making them fall under his command. Now before the madness had made its presence known within the young warlock's body, this form of magic wasn't as deadly. It allows the complete manipulation of shadows within the nearby vicinity. Altering the shape and form of shadows was the original limitation before Takeshi's madness amplified its powers and changed the shadows he controls into a physical form. Much like vector magic, shadow magic is very similar in the way it attacks, although shadow magic differs and has some unique limits. Takeshi can only manipulate shadows when there are actually shadows, he can't function well in areas devoid of light entirely. Despite being able to control shadows only Takeshi's shadow can be used in an offensive manner. After Takeshi's shadows have been amplified by his own madness they've evolved and managed to grow eyes and mouthes with teeth. These mouthes are capable of eating and the eyes link back to Takeshi, basically it enables father eye sight. Takeshi's shadow can take on a variety of shapes, from sharp spikes to tendril-like hands. He can also manipulate, slice through or devour anything that comes in contact with his shadow and it appears invulnerable to conventional physical harm, although it can be deflected by sufficiently hard objects. He can also see and talk through his shadowy eyes and mouths wherever his shadow can extend. Any form of light magic interferes with Takeshi's shadow magic. Madness induced shadows however are much more resilient than the regular shadows Takeshi manipulates. After using madness overload Takeshi's whole body will be able to transform into a physical form of the shadows themselves enabling him to use his shadow magic anywhere. In his madness induced form Takeshi must travel by sinking into the ground and moving in a way as if he was swimming on the ground as a shadow. When under the effects of madness Takeshi is still able to move as a shadow in areas devoid of light, able to use his body as a weapon.

xxSong slid into the seat in front of Mercedes; humming slightly as he looked over the menu. What did he want? He was super hungry... Yet the best looking thing on the menu was some BLT kind of thing; everything else seemed pretty lame to the boy. He looked up at Mercedes, shrugging. "I think I'm getting the BLT," He sent a questioning look at her before apprehensively eyeing the room. People..... Ugh.

She continued staring at the menu for a moment longer "I will have a water... and uh..." she paused for a moment "Mozzarella sticks and salad for an appetizer. The double cheese burger with everything with swiss cheese, a BLT, the mac and cheese, some fries, and those cinnamon apples." she said. The waiter stared at her for a long time almost like he was wondering if she was serious or not. She stared innocently up at him "I have money to pay for it." she said, thinking that was what he was wondering. After another moment or two the waiter just nodded and finished writing everything down before looking at the other two. ☾
Herald looked at the waiter. "Steak is fine. Rare." That was the extent of his order and it took the waiter a moment to realize he was done. He wasn't surprised at Emma's order; he'd seen her eat before. He set down the menu and waited patiently, saying nothing. He seemed uncomfortable in the restaurant but he wasn't there for himself so he did his best to simply wait. He did the opposite of Takeshi, staring straight ahead and ignoring the others who were here. He didn't care about them or what they were doing as long as they didn't bother himself or Emma.

As Emmma ordered a bunch of food he held back a big grin. He had never heard an order that big before so it really shocked him. "I'll have a bacon burger please! Extra bacon but not too much, and water but with no ice. And fries as well but not too crispy. Also please make sure that the burger isn't overcooked." Once the waiter was done writing down his order she had decided to put their orders through back at the kitchen. Turning his attention to Herald and Emma he blinked before coming blank. They seemed quiet and he wondered if it was just himself before thinking of a way to lighten the mood. "So the death magic allegiance academy, whats it like here? I've been to a school very similar. Are the teachers really nice?" Eager to know more he currently had not known much of the alternate academy but wanted to learn everything Emma knew about it. "I bet its full of talented magic users." Before Takeshi could talk more the same waiter pulled in and brought two waters and straws for Takeshi and Emma since Herald hadn't ordered anything. Walking away to take more orders, Takeshi turned back to Herald as the waiter left. Wondering why he seemed so glum looking he thought he would ask him question. "You know Herald I could always use a teacher. If your as strong as you say you are then I'm going to have to ask you to be my mentor," he asked in a serious tone. "I know nothing of this place so you'll both have to teach me." He laughed before using his straw to drink the water out of a glass.

He can also see and talk through his shadowy eyes and mouths wherever his shadow can extend. Any form of light magic interferes with Takeshi's shadow magic. Madness induced shadows however are much more resilient than the regular shadows Takeshi manipulates. After using madness overload Takeshi's whole body will be able to transform into a physical form of the shadows themselves enabling him to use his shadow magic anywhere. In his madness induced form Takeshi must travel by sinking into the ground and moving in a way as if he was swimming on the ground as a shadow. When under the effects of madness Takeshi is still able to move as a shadow in areas devoid of light, able to use his body as a weapon.
