Soul Protect: On Soul Wavelength Stable/Calm
As Takeshi listened to Emma his ears twitched a bit. Moving his attention from Emma to Herald he saw how he could exaggerate his height due to him being in cat form, however when she said he could grow taller it sounded a bit unbelievable. "H-He won't eat me will he?" Takeshi looked a bit frightened. Worried about Herald he backed away a bit, but after seeing how foolish the situation was he laughed and came a bit closer to him. "I get cranky too a lot. Mostly in the mornings because I feel like sleeping more." He was glad that he was talking to the two, it had been awhile since he had last made any real form of conversation. "If he doesn't like jokes then I'll just stop for now." Smiling Taleshi paced himself circling the two three times before sitting down before them once again. "Well whoever that guy was I think he missed out on a chance to make some nice friends. My name is Takeshi by the way." He wanted to tell them that the cat-like appearance wasn't his true form but he didn't want to bring the attention to himself since that would be rude, in his book anyways. "If there is something I can get you all you have to do is ask. I'm mostly bored with nothing to do so I'd be glad to help your friend and his cranky mood.
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.

Never Again...
Herald looked over at Emma as she patted his arm. "Don't worry; it's still secure. There's only one person who....can get in." Herald's look darkened even more, reminded of The Reaver and their last encounter. He was about to say something else when he heard a voice from below them. He looked down quickly at potentially the goofiest looking cat he'd ever seen. "What...?" He said to no one in particular, his expression changing from one of anger to utter bafflement. He watched the cat silently as it told a dumb joke and stood on its head. "What...are you??" Takeshi's plan had worked, though probably not quite the way he had planned. Herald wasn't mad anymore; he was completely and utterly confused, caught off-guard by the friendly cat and his antics. Still, he hadn't been thrown off so much that he wasn't suspicious. It was Herald's first instinct to assume anyone he met was probably an enemy until proven otherwise. He'd seen plenty of harmless-looking things turn into rampaging monsters during his time at the Arenas. In fact, it had been a running joke to throw someone new into the arena with a harmless looking creature that suddenly turned into a terrifying abomination just when the newcomer thought they were going to score an easy victory.
So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down...
You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain...

I am Emma and the tall one is Herald. And I don't think we need anything at the moment, thank you." she told the cat politely. She tilted her head up to look at Herald "He is a talking cat obviously." she told him with an innocent expression. ☾
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who am I kidding? My entire life has been a bore lately.

Soul Protect: On Soul Wavelength Stable/Calm
Takeshi smiled at Emma, she seemed to be comfortable around him in the current state he was in. After Herald asked him what he was it was only fair to prove that he was really a Warlock. "I'm...well...I'm certainly not a cat. This is just a form. I'm actually a Warlock." A bit hesitant he was worried he might say something he would regret saying about himself. "I've just been using the disguise for safety reasons." Taking a few steps back Takeshi tried not to get too close to the pair. "I'll show you my true form now." A cloud of smoke burst as Takeshi transformed back into his average state. Waiting for the cloud of smoke to go away a figure could be seen within it. It was an outline of a boy with a slender body type that didn't show any signs of muscular build. He appeared to be wearing rather dark clothing with accessories such as a hat and a scarf. Coughing into his left hand, he used his right to wave the smoke away. "This is what I really look like, its funny because I feel like we're meeting a second time now that I'm not tiny." He laughed and tried his best to be calm and not show any signs of suspicion. Still he kept his soul protect since in the end it was for everyones best interests. "Nice meeting you Herald and Emma." With the area now clear of smoke he could be fully seen.

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.
Herald looked back at Emma when she gave him the obvious answer. When the cat confirmed that it wasn't actually a cat, Herald gave Emma a look that said See?. "A warlock," Herald repeated, looking down at the boy. He still didn't seem that threatening but that still didn't mean much to Herald. "Safety reasons? What are you trying to be safe from?" Herald asked, his suspicion obvious. "Might the DWMA be after you?" He didn't respond to Takeshi's greeting. Not because he was intentionally being rude, but because such things never really crossed Herald's mind. He was almost always focused on the facts and the ends. Herald wasn't concerned about his own safety too much; he was confident he could take on anyone. But someone else was here that he wasn't about to let get hurt. His eyes bored into Takeshi as he waited for an answer, as if he were a father asking a boy why he wanted to date his daughter.

"No no no! Nothing like that I promise! I didn't do anything wrong." A bit nervous he looked away from Herald's eyes. Takeshi freaked out for a second there. He hadn't done anything wrong since he had come from the portal back at the alternate dimension. Facing the ground he kicked some dirt away with his shoes. Looking a bit guilty he sighed. "I stay in that form because of...I'm...scared. Okay? I'm part kishin which is why I fear the DWMA. For more reasons then you'll ever know...at the moment I don't want to risk anything. I've heard stories about how more kishins are popping up that aren't bad but I just don't see myself being out and open without resentment. What if someone tries to hurt me?" A bit depressed he gave another sigh looking down. "I can see you think I'm a possible enemy, I saw some of what those demons that were here just did. I'm not asking you to trust me right away but I want a chance. As of now I've kept a moderately low profile." Of course Takeshi was leaving some vital parts of his story out such as the alternate dimension but even he didn't feel right telling Herald everything right away. "Sorry I didn't approach you in my normal form." Tension rising from within him he felt frightened of what would happen next. If they would hate him for it.

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.

Never Again...
Herald shook his head slightly. "I don't care if you did anything wrong. I'm not a part of the DWMA and I don't plan to be." He stared down at Takeshi in silence as he heard him say that he did that because he was scared. "What if someone tries to hurt you?" He growled, seeming personally offended. "What if someone tries to hurt you? Then you rip them limb from limb, that's what. You'll be doing yourself and everyone else a favor." He looked over at Emma, seeing that she seemed distracted. "I could care less if you approach me in your normal form or not. My only concern is whether I'd be able to kill you if I wanted to, and the answer if clearly yes." He cocked his head to the side slightly. "But if you're trying to keep a low profile, why approach us? Is it because we're obviously creatures of madness as well?"
So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down...
You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain...
± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ±: . : ± : . : ± : . : ± ☽Emma looked at the boy again "You don't have to worry here. If someone gives you hell, just tell the DMA and they will help. If you aren't aiming on hurting someone you have nothing to worry about either." She told him with a small smile. She basically replied in the exact opposite way Herald had.☾
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who am I kidding? My entire life has been a bore lately.
You would think that a guy like me would have a life of excitement but I'm just as plain as the next guy.
Soul Protect: On Soul Wavelength Stable/Calm
While Herald was intimidating he sure did talk with a lot of confidence which Takeshi greatly respected. After he listened to Emma as well he could see the group dynamic. It was like they balanced each other out. Takeshi also didn't doubt for one moment that Herald would be able to kill him. In his head he was actually thinking of the story about the boy who cried wolf and how he was eaten for his foolish behavior. Trying not to follow in the boys footsteps he answered Herald's questions with dignity. Looking at Herald in the eyes he spoke in a normal tone unlike his previous hesitant one. "I can't deny it. I did approach you because I felt the similarities." When Emma mentioned the DMA he felt a small wave of nostalgia. "I thought that I could trust you guys so I did. I took a chance really, I haven't spoken to anyone except my teddy bear since I've arrived in death city." Takeshi gave an honest laugh and felt no tension what so ever. Even though Herald gave off menacing vibes he felt a great deal of respect towards him for his complete honesty and get to the point typed personality. He also held Emma in high regards as well due to her caring nature and kindness. "I'll be sure to remember that part with the limbs." Giving a serious expression he wasn't kidding.
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.

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.

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.

At least he seems he can take care of himself then... she thought, obviously not the type to go all out for ripping someone limb from limb if they were being a jerk. Beating them up, yes. Not so much anything more violent than that. Just then a growl was heard and Emma's head snapped to the side with an annoyed look, the growl obviously coming from her stomach. ☾
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who am I kidding? My entire life has been a bore lately.
You would think that a guy like me would have a life of excitement but I'm just as plain as the next guy.
Soul Protect: On Soul Wavelength Stable/Calm
After Emma laughed he knew that something was up. Worried about trying not to seem too scary he smiled and laughed as well. She's probably laughing that way because of that limb suggestion response...I shouldn't have answered that way. Takeshi gave a creepy smile to the two trying to be friendly towards Emma yet not so suspicious that he would draw Herald's attention. As he opened his mouth to speak he could have sworn he had heard an odd sound coming from Emma's stomach. Caught off guard he felt this noxious feeling of unpleasantness, he was frightened. Before implying that Emma was hungry he cleverly thought out what he might say so he wouldn't offend her just in case she was sensitive to her figure. From the looks of things however he doubted that she would be offended in that way. "Gee I'm kind of hungry...would you perhaps like me to take you both somewhere for something to eat? It'll be my treat. And you can ask me more questions if you'd like Herald." Awaiting a reply he just stood in the same spot playing with what looked like a toy bear. Poking it with his finger the bear motioned back and fourth.

After the fight, Axton slowly walks over to the street trying to make his way to somewhere to get medical attention. He slowly walks over but loses balance falling down hitting face first on the sidewalk. His body was badly injured that he could bleed out to death.

Never Again...
Herald listened to Takeshi, looking down at the toy bear he pulled out. "What the...." he muttered before looking over at Emma. "If you're hungry we can get something to eat...where do you want to go?" Herald wasn't really sure where there was to eat so he wasn't familiar with what was available. He looked back to the warlock. "You can come if you want," he told the boy, making it clear that Herald was the one taking them somewhere. He saw a man stumbling around bloody, but he simply wasn't the type of person to care about something like that.
So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down...
You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain...

I won't be too picky so it doesn't really matter." she said "One time while walking, I saw a diner though. Is that alright?" she asked as her ears twitched. She saw a person from earlier limping and seemed very badly injured. She walked over and took a slip of paper out of a pocket on her dress and handing it to him "It's a healing seal a friend gave me." she said before walking back towards the two. ☾
