Seiken “Sei” Ichijou (一上・聖剣) is the main character of Echoes of Gehenna. He is 19 years old.

## Appearance

Sei is a young boy with medium length white hair (with an ahoge) and deep violet eyes. He has notably effeminate facial features which causes him to be mistaken for a girl at times, which he finds a sort of pride in. This has also led to situations where he crossdresses to take on his alternate identity "Tenka". His usual outfit consists of wearing either a black duster coat or a hoodie over a white shirt and jeans. At times, he is seen with his signature eyepatch, and bandages wrapped around his neck and arms.

## Personality

Sei is often considered a charming and charismatic individual, which led to the creation of Gehenna and his vast, diverse friend network. While many see his natural charisma, most also often see his more clumsy and awkward side- though some would even argue it adds more to his character. He has a flair for theatrics and dramatics in attempts to remedy his and others boredom, giving him much of his charm others see, though alienating others. He can be blunt and persistent, which can be necessary for breaking down the walls others have set up in order to befriend or help them. He has a solid grasp of emotional intelligence and perception and is not dense by any means, but certainly capable of making small or large slip-ups. His leadership skills and charisma allow him to act promptly and encourage others, however, they are somewhat offset by him being a control freak at times, and his somewhat poor long-term planning. He is extremely level-headed surprisingly enough, however in situations of high tension or boredom, Sei is prone to breaking apart and losing his composure leading to very messy situations he can have difficulty picking up after.

He is very fond of girls and flirting, which has revealed itself during his interactions with the likes of Ame Misaki, Mei Izayoi, and Nagisa Shiragami to name a few.

Sei's other core flaws come in the form of his impulsivity, and overattachment to past trifles (namely his connection with Ame).

Ultimately, Sei really just wants to do anything is his power to be a positive or at least entertaining presence in others' lives. All of these factors ultimately make him a trustworthy person that many are capable of confiding in.

## Abilities

*Main article: Sei Ichijou/Abilities*

Sei is confidently proficient in most melee weapons along with guns, but namely specializes in swords, daggers, and polearms. He is most commonly armed with a katana, or dual wielding two. Sei is closely in tune with the element of lightning- and is able to discharge it or channel it into his weaponry. His signature weapons are the "Blood Sword", Muramasa, and the "Slayer of Gods", Ameno Habakiri, along with the five swords of the Tenka Goken. While Sei can fight from range with magic or firearms, he always prefers to enter melee range and push the offense, forgoing hesitation. However, if he must fight from range, he prefers snipers, handguns, and lightning magic.

Sei is a Sephira, and can manifest the powers of Kether, along with an Angel, Metatron.
