Arika Ishizue

is the protagonist of DDD.
==Profile==
===Background===
Two years before the main events of DDD, his sister, Kanata Ishizue, destroyed and ate his left arm. After a year and a half in an institution, he was discharged and began a search for a replacement arm. Mato Touma, the officer in charge of monitoring him, introduced him to Kaie Karyou, describing the young boy as a dilettante with rare prosthetics. 
While Arika is possessed by a demon, Mato considers him mostly harmless, and uses him to keep track of other possessed people. The main side effect of his sister's attack is that he forgets anything that happens to him during the day. Thankfully, he has a fairly stable identity, and can tell the difference between right and wrong, so the memory loss doesn't trouble him too much. He gets by by not promising anything during the day and doing anything important at night. While he does take notes for himself, he keeps them fairly minimal, avoiding extraneous details.
He disliked Kaie from the moment he looked at the boy, considering him a creature unlike anything he had ever seen before. He doesn't want to be friends with Kaie because he just does not enjoy being around someone that exhausting just to look at. But as he is an apathetic, cold person he begins to work for Kaie for 200,000 yen a month detaching and reattaching his Daemon limbs. His work is easy, and the salary has become somewhat of a collar, but he doesn't mind because his motto is "I want to live as easily as possible." He is short of money all year long as his job pays by the month, and Kaie despises paying in advance or daily.
He dislikes being pulled into strange events, but fate seems to have other ideas.

===Personality===
==Role==
==Abilities==
When he closes his eyes, he has proprioception in his left arm and can grab things with it. He no longer has a physical arm, but he still possesses a conceptual arm that prevents him from using prosthetics. Yet this conceptual arm allows him to control demon limbs, as imaginary sensation accepts similarly imaginary beasts. He can no longer feel threatened, allowing him to use Kaie's left arm when on missions to eliminate particular “daemon possessed”.
