Takeshi

====
===Origins===
Takeshi Sawada is a an adept martial arts expert and is the younger brother of Genzo Sawada. They both train martial arts in the form of art and tradition, never thinking they'll have to use it to defend their lives. Takeshi starts training with nunchakus, but doesn't feel comfortable and always tries for alternatives. When their father dies, he doesn't leave much of belongings to them, except artifact weapons which haven't been used for ages - A remarkable Dual-Claw hand-piece called the "Dragon Claws" and a set of Twin Daggers. Genzo lets his brother Takeshi pick which one he wants and Takeshi picks the Dragon Claws. He quickly discontinues using nunchakus and is thrilled to finally start training with something he likes, after having tried numerous weapons.Being younger, he was always the more impatient one and always wanted to do and learn more.
===Invasion of Chaos===
When Ascuth, one of the Kings of Erohn invaded Japan with his forces, the Sawada brothers are one of the first ones to stand up against the stupendous threat the aliens pose. Warriors of many dojos and defenders do their best to help, but are quickly overwhelmed by the rampaging alien forces and all their defenses are shattered. Takeshi gets desperate as he sees his friends dying in front of him. After asking Genzo to create a decoy for the enemy, as he claims he has a plan, he enters the Tomb of Dommash, where he taps into the power of the ancient demon's corpse. Takeshi emerges again on the battlefield, tipping the scales in their favor for the first time, completely annihilating the aliens and draining them of their powers and ultimately they kill Ascuth, Genzo delivering the final blow.After the dust settles, Genzo acknowledges that this half-human, half-demon is his brother, but cannot believe that he had done such a horrendous act. While Takeshi claims it's for the better good and they wouldn't have done it without this sacrifice, Genzo disagrees, arguing that he would've gladly died in honor, defending his country, but not be victorious at the price of his humanity and neither his soul. Takeshi, angrily stunned at his brother's words of refusal, leaves and says his brother is a coward. He promises that one day, when he fully understands what he has become and what he can do, they'll meet again and he'll pay for banishing his own brother, who risked his life to save everything and everyone.

	Demon's Talons Cooldown: 1 second
Moderate damage melee attack that keeps refreshing faster and faster the more hits in succession. Each hit reduces target's resistance to your 'Claws' attacks by 5% and stacks up to 8 seconds.
	
Demonic Purge Cooldown: 9 seconds
Short-ranged ability that applies a 60% movement speed slow and 45% attack speed slow, completely interrupting any channeled spells. When the effect is over, the enemy is also stunned for 0.5 second. Requires a full 1.5 second charge time.
	Vertebreak Cooldown: 17 seconds
Upon activation, start gaining a counter each time you deal melee damage in the next 4 seconds. When the time passes, the counters are consumed and for each counter you increase your Critical Strike chances by 9% for 7 more seconds.
	
Dragon's Claws Cooldown: 12 seconds
A massive damage, single target melee attack with increased severity when landing a critical hit as well as armor penetration.
	
Demonskin Cooldown: 22 seconds
Passive: Hardens your body, blocking a portion of the damage you take each time you're attacked. The effect increases without limit, but is expiring if you stop taking damage. Damage dealt doesn't matter, all that matters is number of attacks. Once every 22 seconds, if you drop below 50% HP, you gain the "Form of the Demon" buff, which increases your movement and attack speed for 4 seconds, as well as providing you with a strong Heal-over-Time.
	Might of the Demon Cooldown: 70 seconds
Ultimate: Rapidly increasing slow effect and life drain to all enemies in a large AoE around you. All enemies receive a small permanent debuff that decreases healing effects on them. The effect stacks once per 'Might of the Demon' that's affecting them.
	United We Stand! Cooldown: 80 seconds
Combo Ultimate (With Genzo): Must be in melee range with Genzo to activate. For the next 20 seconds your abilities require only half the time needed to cooldown, except 'United We Stand!'

*Although he has infused himself with the demonic powers of Dommash, he isn't susceptible to brain or behaviour change. All of his will is his own. The change only influences his body and powers, but he's still the same Takeshi.
*Takeshi also has a sword, in case he engages more enemies at once.
