Between a Human and a Demon
Yusuke was born a human. But through a transmigration of dormant Demon blood, Yusuke has held the potential for great power since birth. Ever since he became a human detective, his usage of his spirit energy increased the strength he possessed, further drawing out the demon traits within. Until one day, after being killed a second time, the power finally awakened, making Yusuke into a halfbreed of a human and a demon. This change was more internally than externally, granting him the power to use not only spirit energy, but also demon energy. With both of these energy reserves, it made Yusuke into a more formidable opponent than he had been already.
As a halfbreed, Yusuke's heart no longer beats like that of a human. Demons run on what is known as "Demon Cores," which is just as much as their lifeline as a human's. However, as long as it isn't pierced or damaged like that of a human, a demon doesn't fall to the normal human weaknesses of going unconscious if their bloodflow is blocked, getting a major artery cut, or even having poison pass through their entire body. For instance, if placed in a neckhold, Yusuke won't lose oxygen to his head even though his bloodflow is lowered. As long as he can breath through his nostrils, he'll be okay, mainly because the resources will be carried there through non-blood means. Yusuke can still be incapitated if his heart is struck, but dying is a lot harder now, as long as he has some amount of energy in his body to keep him barely alive. Although there is no sense of "heart rates," adrenaline can still be pumped through his body if his emotions are stimulated, much like any normal human.
Yusuke can change between his human and demon appearance, depending on which corresponding energy is currently the dominant in his body. When he becomes a demon, the only change he gets are tattoos being placed about his body, slightly more angular eyes, and sharper canines. In addition, his body gains an increased physical resistance, giving him durability similar to a truck tire. His bones also become harder to break. In terms of body density, although he remains the same weight, the power going through his demon body increases his toughness by two weight classes. In terms of the MMA Unified weight rules, Yusuke is considered a Lightweight fighter when human, but a Middleweight as a demon. That's an increase of thirty pounds.
The Energy Within
Yusuke would be considered the same strength as a human of his physical class were it not for his possession of spirit energy. His spirit energy allows him to fight on a higher class than what someone like him could normally fight at. As a result, it allows him to fight peak level humans or similar fighters with no problem. He's little compared to the bodies of champions of the human world, but he can fight on their level with little problem. The spirit energy allows him to increase his physical strength, speed, resistance, and reaction time, so it's not strange to see him punch through brick, concrete, or even stone with a powered up punch. He can even be slammed through a wall without being knocked unconscious.
He is able to mold his spirit energy into physical form, and use it to create attacks, mostly projectile in nature, such as his signature "Spirit Gun," and "Shotgun." These abilities will be explained in the Abilities section later.
Passively, having spirit energy has made his body spiritually aware, and as a result, he is able to see things that normal humans cannot, such as ghostly auras, incorporeal beings, and other similar paranormal activity. Anything that is invisible through active means, however, he has just as much trouble seeing as anyone else.
As mentioned before, he has access to two forms of energy: spirit energy and demon energy. Spirit energy comes from his human spirit. Demon energy comes from his demon spirit, though he doesn't have much of a demon "spirit" as much as he has a presence of one inside his body. His spirit energy is stronger than his demon energy. For instance, if he used a Demon Gun, which is the opposite form of his Spirit Gun as it uses demon energy instead of spirit energy, a Spirit Gun of the same power would be stronger than it. Demon energy, however, is a lot more chaotic, making any attacks that contain it more destructive. They work best for tearing through defensive measures. The potency of this combination comes from the fact that, together, they give Yusuke far more power than normal, allowing him to fight longer and fight on a higher level when he needs to.
He can shift between the two energies when he needs to, though he doesn't get the full potential of one unless he is solely using that one instead of mixing the two together in his body actively at once. Unless he is using the demon energy primarily, he won't enter his demon appearance. The only reason he may mix the two together into his special attacks is mainly if he needs to overcome a resistance. For instance, if someone has a high resistance to spirit energy, but not demonic energy, then mixing spirit and demon energy into a Spirit Gun can allow him to punch through their defense. However, at this point, he would have used the gun in this nature to test the defense rather than try to destroy it. Another reason for mixing them together is so he can conserve energy from both sources. A Spirit Gun with both spirit and demon energy still isn't bad, both there is a chance that someone has a resistance to one type of the energy, and as a result, will be able to cut down on its power.
When entered into a roleplay at low-medium power: Yusuke's combination of spirit and demon energy together will equal the power level of a mid-tier fighter, with spirit energy being 70% and demon energy being 30%. That means each power source alone will only be roughly half of what an average fighter at this level possesses, forcing him to utilize them both in order to keep competitive. Assuming he has a power aura of spirit energy running through his body at the time (an ability that will be explained in the Abilities section), his lifting capacity is seven hundred pounds, and his running speed maximum is thirty miles per hour.
When entered into a roleplay at high power: Each of Yusuke's sources of power each equal the potency of a mid-tier fighter. However, though his demon energy his weaker, it has a larger storage of it than his spirit energy, allowing his demon form to fight at the level of a weak high tier fighter. Normally, when together, he fights at a high tier level. His lifting capacity is two tons and his running speed maximum is three hundred miles per hour (breaking that sound barrier).
Resistances
Alone, Yusuke's body is quite capable of taking a beating, a lot more than someone of his size can take. His body still gives to blows, such as cringing or bending over, but he won't fall off his feet as easily, or will he injure so quickly. It's harder to break his jaw or break his arms, but as long as someone is fighting at his level, these injuries will happen soon enough.
Against the elements, he can survive pretty well, as long as he has spirit or demon energy available. He can hold out in hot or cold environments without weakening, though the more extreme the temperature, the more taxing on his energy it becomes. Against attacks of this nature, such as fire, his body can still take burns, blister, and high degree burns. But the injury can be lessened, or even negated, as long as he makes proper use of his energy. Without it, his body is just as susceptible as anyone else, with a significant increase in resistance due to his demon nature. This only means it'll take a little more to make him get frostbite or a fatal burn.
His highest resistance is against electricity. This is mainly due to his body having adapted to his last great torture by electricity in a taxing fight against a past enemy. Because he was on the verge of death then, his body reacted to make sure nothing of this nature happened again. He is not immune to the elements of electricity, but he can no longer be affected by its usual effects such as stunning or shocking him. This can be overcome, however, as long as the electrical nature of the attack is stronger than any normal electrical attack, for instance, a finisher-level of such an element. However, if it is not finisher-level but still potent in nature, Yusuke will have to use his spirit/ demon energy to help ward off the effects of stunning actively, which results in spending energy.
Special Abilities
Charge System
To balance Yusuke's usage of his energy, he has a limited amount of charges. These charges are like points. Each source of energy he has (spirit and demon), has a certain number of points. An ability may use only charges from one source, or both. Once the charges run out, it's the same as Yusuke "running out of energy." These charges do not replenish without rest or some other restorative aid.
In Low-mid level roleplays: Yusuke has fourteen Spirit charges and ten Demon charges.
In High Level roleplays: Yusuke has thirty Spirit charges and fifty Demon charges.
Spirit Gun
Charge Cost: 1 Spirit Energy (+1 for additional charges per post up to 5; Spirit or Demon energy)
Yusuke aims his right index finger forward and focuses his spirit energy into the tip of that finger. While doing this, his left hand cups around his wrist to stabilize his arm, as if he was holding a real gun. He then mentally "fires," causing a projectile made of spirit energy to be fired forward from the tip, the size proportional to how much energy Yusuke had fueled it with.The projectile itself is fast, capable of moving at one hundred miles per hour at max (seventy miles per hour in lower settings). Upon contact, it would either carry a target who cannot hold against it, such as an aerial target, or explode on contact if the target is too dense to be moved or attempts to attack it. When carrying a target, the projectile is slowly doing burn-like damage to the person until it disperses into nothing. He can do the reverse version of this attack, which is him shooting with his left hand instead of his right, but since he's more right-handed orientated, shots from his left are less accurate, even though large shots increase the chance of hitting someone with their wide range. He can also shoot off a Spirit Gun without the aid of the other hand, but once more, his aim suffers. He can make his spirit gun nearly invisible by shooting a weak thin version of it. In this state, it can be shot instantly, making it rather fast. It can cause a bruise against skin on contact, and even knock over up to 20 lbs. It can knock over a person, too, but it has to be able to knock them off balance, assuming they don't catch themselves in time.
Yusuke requires one post to charge his gun, if he's not using the thin version. After that, he can charge it up to five posts. He can save the charge on this gun for later use. Because of this, to balance it, he has to spend one post full charging. This means he cannot be defending against anything or reacting to anything that will require sustainial effort to resolve.
If mixed with demon energy, the Spirit Gun will have more piercing nature to it. Due to the conflicting natures of the Spirit and Demon energy in the attack, the projectile is capable of damaging or even piercing through barriers meant to block against attacks depending on the power of the defense. This applies to both supernatural barriers and physical barriers.
Shotgun
Charge Cost: 1 Spirit or Demon energy (+1 for additional charges per post up to 3)
Yusuke gathers a good amount of spirit energy into his right fist before punching forward. A burst of spirit energy would erupt from this fist, spraying out smaller versions of the spirit gun. Although weak, this attack covers a wide range, mostly a ten foot width cone in front of him, which covers up to fifteen feet in front of him. He can perform the same attack with his left hand.
Mixing with demon energy doesn't give any additional effect other than adding a demonic attribute to it.
Double Barrel Shotgun
Charge Cost: 2 Spirit and/or Demon energy (+1 for additional chargers per post up to 2)
A more advanced Shotgun. Instead of using one fist, Yusuke uses both fists to deliver a volley of spirit projectiles, which are more powerful and more widespread, covering twenty feet in a cone, and having an starting coverage of five feet in width. If increased to 3 charges, the ability covers twenty five feet in a cone.
Spirit Wave
Charge Cost: 6 Spirit Energy(once activated)
Activation Time: 1 Post
Yusuke takes a stable stance with his feet spread and arms in a relaxed but bent state as he has his left side angling toward his target, with the lead foot being the left foot. Spirit energy would then outline his body in a white glow as he focuses it into him, as if his entire body was a finger being used for a Spirit Gun attack. Once ready, in this temporal state, Yusuke's defensive capabilites are enhanced, able to withstand many attacks against him without taking much damage. This is really effective against magical attacks. And then, when he finds it time, he would use a single punch or kick to deliver all that gathered power into one attack, capable of giving whoever he strikes a massive blow. However, if shot from a further range, he instead fires out a very large beam of energy that is capable of covering a good twenty yards, with a four foot width. It won't be as powerful as a close range Spirit Wave, but it makes up for it in having range and coverage.
Yusuke doesn't need to be in the formal stance to activate this ability, but he does need to be in a state where he isn't being forced to concentrate on an attack against him. For instance, if he's defending against a powerful attack that was shot at him, he won't be able to charge this ability, though if he already did in a previous post, then he can activate it before the attack hits.
Once activated, Yusuke remains in a powered state for two posts. He has two posts to unleash his Spirit Wave attack or else it expires. During this time, he is able to defend against attacks as if he had up a 4-charge defense (equivalent to attacks that took four charges to create). If a finisher-level attack is shot at him, he has the option to use his Spirit Wave to fight against it, giving up his option to attack.
He can only use the Spirit Wave once per fight.
Spirit Aura
Charge Cost: Initially 1, then 1 Per Two Posts; Spirit or Demon energy
Yusuke causes spirit/ demon energy to actively move through his body, allowing him higher feats of performance. Passively, he always has his spirit energy on to allow him a higher-than normal fighting capabilities, but with the Spirit Aura on, he gains the ability to fight at peak performance. He doesn't exceed the level of fighting to the point that he becomes unstoppable, but having this on makes him fight as if he's always at one hundred percent. It's mainly like a toggled andrenaline rush, and is usually a normal ability used in most of his fights.
In addition, he can defend against attacks better, whether physical or supernatural in nature, better using the aura as a deteriment. Sort of like having +2 to defensive stats. Swords won't cut as good or a fireball won't burn him as badly.
When Yusuke first activates this ability, during the post that he does, he can choose to have the aura burst from his body. During this time, the aura is a lot more forceful, capable of knocking away minor projectiles, like a knife, that may be thrown at him or making it harder for people to get close to him. This is both a flashy effect and a utility, as it causes small gusts of wind to pick up around him. Think of Dragonball Z, when the fighters usually erupt their auras to show off their stuff.
Spirit Shield
Charge Cost: 1 Spirit and/ or Demon energy (scales depending on how powerful the attack is launched at him in order to try to defend against it without severe harm)
Yusuke's Spirit Aura must first be active, and he must have enough time to know when an attack is being thrown at him. He can't activate this ability on the fly, so surprise attacks will catch him off guard. But if he's aware of someone preparing an attack or has a good ten seconds to prepare, he can create a sphere of spirit energy around his body to help protect him for one post.
Basically, the rule of thumb, for every post/ charge/ preparation that an attack was created from, Yusuke will need to spend 1 charges per level after the first. So, for instance, if someone fired a non-charged, instant post fireball at him, he can defend against it with just 1 charge. But if they fired a fireball that took three posts to make, then he has to spend 4 charges. That includes the 1 charge to start the shield, and then the three charges to match the level of the attack. Against level four and level five (finisher level) attacks, Yusuke needs at least one post to activate his spirit shield to be strong enough to stand up to that level of attack, or else the attack just ends up breaking through.
Spirit Gauntlets
Charge Cost: Initially 1, then 1 Per Two Posts; Spirit or Demon energy
Both fists, up to the elbow, are engulfed by an active power of energy, be it Spirit Energy, or Demon Energy. This ability is shown active by the radiating energy appearing nearly as a sphere around each fist. While active, it gives Yusuke's fists exceptional physical power. Before, he was capable of putting dents in hard surfaces such as bricks. But with this active, he can now punch through them with relative ease. The spirit covering also allows him to fight against dangerous things such as blades without cutting himself, since the energy acts as a buffer between the weapon and his limbs. He can handle supernatural attacks better, such as actually parrying them, as long as they're simple versions such as a fireball that didn't require much to cast. Anything stronger will still be able to hurt him, but having this ability active still allows him to handle the attack in a more physical manner if it isn't meant to just explode or fall apart in some manner.
This ability is active around his legs, too. However, the effect isn't shown visibly unless he ends up attacking with kicks or is attacked at his legs.
Demon Gun
Charge Cost: 1 Demon Energy (+1 for additional charges per post up to 5; Spirit or Demon energy)
Similar to the Spirit Gun, only this projectile is made of demon energy. Unlike the Spirit Gun which has to have a condition to explode, the Demon Gun explodes on contact with anything that tries to resist it. It's a lot more destructive than a Spirit Gun and is more likely to be volatile in nature, much like Demon energy in general.
Mixing spirit energy into the attack gives the same effect as mixing demon energy into a Spirit Gun.
Equipment
Fighting Gi
Yusuke's standard fighting outfit consists of a yellow sleeveless shirt, blue gi pants, kung fu sandals that allow for comfortable footing, and green wristbands. For the sake of keeping appropriate in case of rough n tough fighting, his pants are a lot more resistant to tearing and other wearing effects, but offer no other resistance whatsoever. Merely for aesthetics.
School Uniform
A green Japanese formal school uniform that buttons all the way up in the front up to the neck-long collar. His pants are a bit flappy, and his shoes are genuine leather with rubber soles. Once more, the pants are a lot harder to remove off his body.
Greasy Hair
Yusuke is a bad boy to the bone, so he tends to grease his hair back to retain his cool look. This makes it very hard for anyone to get a grip on his hair. However, this does mean he's vulnerable to having his hair catch on fire, though spirit energy can help dampen and remove the effect if he's aware of it in time. Usually if there's a lot of heat around him, the gel in his hair will start drying up, making his hair fall down his head a lot easier.
