Saiten

## Saiten the Sadist

"If you could trade, would you? Surely.But all miracles require sacrifice.For their life: yours."

## Write your seal....

When Saiten was young, his father and mother were killed in battle, leaving him in the care of his grandmother, May. When May attempted to cheer him up by teaching him puppetry, Saiten's innate aptitude for the art became apparent and his skills even allowed him to create two puppets in the image of his favor bed time characters in an attempt to discard the terrible loneliness he felt. However, as the puppets were unable to give him the real parental love that he desired, Saiten lost interest in them and went on to create weaponized puppets.

During World War I, the effectiveness of his puppets in spilling his enemies' blood on the sand in Egpty motivated by his desire to make works that last forever, Saiten began experimenting to create puppets out of people. Saiten performed various experiments on his prisoners, some being fellow commerades he kidnapped. He used them as human guinea pigs to develop techniques that would grant him immortality, the end result being Living Corpse aka a deal with a demon. He made a deal with a demon in trade for answers for immortality, thus he got the answer. In his deal with the demon to gain immortality and a perfect body, Saiten gained a number of modifications to his body, with it, he can heal and regenerate from varying lengths of damage in fairly short periods of time. Saiten's modifications have also allowed him to manipulate the shape of his body for greater manoeuvrability, and enhanced his physical durability enough to endure multiple powerful punches. 5 years later, Saiten died and reborn a new, he became a Crossroad Demon. Even as a demon now, Saiten made his name, a sadistic clever one at that. Being noticed as one of the most powerful and clever Crossroad demons there is.

## Persona

Saiten possesses a complex personality; however, more often than not, he was described as "twisted" by a large number of people, implies that Saiten grew to disdain the fragility of human life and how it affected those still living, which led him to desire immortality. To that end, the primary purpose of Saiten's human experimentation and human puppet collection is to test what modifications the body can endure and harness a subject's unique abilities for himself. Once accomplishing this goal, Saiten had hoped to achieve his goal to learn all the secrets in the universe and have his strings on them, which would normally take many lifetimes to obtain.

## Seals

Saiten is able seal objects like living beings, spells, tools and/or weapons, etc. within another object or person and release them when needed. If the sealed object has a power of its own (Mythical Physiology, Powerful Objects, etc.) possessor may be able to tap into that power. Saiten's seals can also be used to restrict movement or unseal objects either from within something or someone.

## Puppet Body

Although Saiten is thousands of years old, he maintained the appearance of a teenage boy. His unnaturally young appearance was a product of the immortalisation of his design. Aside from his core, Saiten's vessel is actually a puppet. Saiten's body is covered with seals containing multiple uses, including absorbing other objects. In place of his intestines was a thick cable coiled around a pole, allowing him to use it as a stinger and retract it if necessary. Attached to his back was a scroll holder, containing four scrolls with seals that stored extra armament. The first scroll allowed him to expel powerful streams of fire, and the second scroll was used to store numerous puppets. The capabilities of the third were not revealed yet, though the fourth scroll was used to fire jets of water with enough force to cut through mountains. Saiten also has a pair of poles attached to the back of his hips, each equipped with five large blades that could spin like a propeller, granting him both an equipage for greater speed and a monstrous close combat weapon. Saiten also had pipes on each of his palms that could spew out intense solar energy. Due to his choice in vessels, he does not suffer some weaknesses other Crossroads demons possess, such as holy water.

## Intelligence

Saiten has acquired a vast amount of information of the world from his time with organizations, such as Root, having set up a network of fully supplied hideouts throughout various countries. He has great charisma in manipulating people into becoming his pawns, providing insight into their past and promising them power in order to gain their loyalty. In battle, he can deduce the workings of an enemy's fighting style and respond accordingly.

Wanting to decipher all of the universe's secrets, Saiten conducted extensive research and numerous experiments on his vessels and the DNA of other individuals to comprehend, attain, or reproduce their abilities.  Saiten's knowledge in other areas: he creates the Mind Pill to help speed up the cursed seal's progression; he builds a sophisticated robot with advanced weaponry; he creates illusion seal that can subdue a cosmic being and their power simultaneously; he cultivates the cells of a mythic beast to create a pseudo-mythic beast.
