### Position

Head

Sky appears as a man with long bright silver hair and cream white skin, left behind from some form of genetic hold over, and bright golden eyes. They have oval like pupils with a small curve making them appear like elongated crescents. He often wears a full sized red kimono and Obi with his body mostly wrapped in bandages beneath it. He has tattoos covering his right arm and hand most of which are vector which go all the way to his shoulder where it takes the form of a large circular marking. From that spot large vectors encircle his neck to his heart. Between the vector tattoos are large fire and lightning symbols/sigils forming into an interwoven mesh. Sky is often seen with his large wolven ears sticking up from the side/top of his head and ten long tails coming from a small slit formed into his kimono for his tails to come out from.

## Personality and Interests

### Interests

Sky seems to have a very narrow limited view of interests, which grew only within his twenties to thirties, as he spent all of his time too busy to gain any real interests. That being said he has an interest in all weapons whether they be magic or science based, this does not include projectile weapons, rejecting even bows and arrows as he considers them all a hindrance to true combat.

But the interest he seems to have developed the most is the creation of weapons, having taken after his old enemy Minda Ando, he managed to rebuild and rekindle the Kazahana forge. Not wanting to be outdone by her skills he quickly began making weapon after weapon to counter hers until such time as he accidentally resurrected the Living Weapon Iffrit, and gained the attention of Golba Verlaat.

He also has an interest in bar tending as he spent ages fifteen to twenty illegally working at a bar known as the Polyphemus Eye which his guild ran as a way to gain extra profits and pay off debts they piled up with their rather destructive methods.

In his older age he took up writing; becoming published in both Earth and Yoma, though he tends not to share his writing with anyone.

### Personality

Almost always agitated Sky had always found a way to get angry over very simple things, his anger always having a rather explosive reaction. While seeming to mellow out in his older age, Sky was always quick to temper, though his anger no longer dictates his actions. None the less he seems to snap very easily, though this has never been seen by any child, this being done intentionally.

What could be considered his greatest emotional strength is also his own emotional weakness, he is loyal and protective to a fault. Working his best to protect all those around him, even if it means that he himself could end up dead or worse. It has caused him to withhold plenty of information from others to keep them from being hurt which has caused more than a few rifts in his lifetime.

Though he does have two fatal flaws which have marked him since he was a child; the first of which is his callousness. While he does have a rather good hearted exterior, he is actually very cold and dangerous, he has been shown to wipe out anyone who stands in his way, even 'allies' aren't safe. The second of these flaws is his love for battle, one which seems to be born into his very blood. He carries inside of him the rage of every single Kazahana who perished during the extermination of the clan and with the programming that the mask forced onto him because of it's affects. While these don't actually lead to him being a danger to those around him, when this nature slips out, even during sparring he has been known to go so far as to kill without hesitation.

## Gear

**Kurohime**

(Basic Form)

 Kurohime appears as an entirely black Nodachi the front of the blade
 is serrated and the back has indents like a combat knife. This means the front can easily cut through metals much denser up to diamonds being
 sliced through because of the formation. The back of the blade was created so that it deals damage on both sides when being pulled out. The outside metal is Oricalcum which means that whenever energy or force is applied it grows denser and denser, without bending or snapping. There are lesser metals starting from Titanium below the coating of Titanium down to steel, which means that whenever the blade is super heated or pressurized it condenses allowing Sky much more fluid strikes and for his blade to work with his Fire Powers, or even run through most metals without suffering the drawbacks of most other blades growing duller. The guard of the weapon appears as a massive open cherry blossom shape, following along with the Kazahana symbol. This is matched with a two and a half hand grip, which is perfectly straight, covered in leather and wrapped in thick silk. There is also a three and a half foot chain made of the same common metals which can be summoned out whenever Sky wishes for it come free.

 Kurohime is a blade which devours her owner and challengers, allowing her to use the main power of its owner, even if it’s not usable to them. When in battle Kurohime needs only to impact with another weapon or person for her ability to take them over and to challenge them and take this power on. There are limits, it can only take on the main power of the one affected and can only use this power as long as they combatants. The moment a battle stops Kurohime loses their ability to wield that power. Moreover, it can only one wield one power at a time, even if battling against multiple combatants.

 (Bowing Kurohime)

 In this form Kurohime becomes a ten meter long dragon created of black plasma burning around seven to eight thousand degrees kelvin, the average temperature of the surface of the sun or a single burst of lightning. While in this form Kurohime has six hundred plates of armor starting below the head and working downwards in size and compress down until the tip of the tail. Each plate is made of thousands of metal plates build around one another in smaller domes so that when they melt or are compressed by the heat they will not lose size from Kurohime but others can knock off the metal. Each plate has a large blade on the sides of the metal with a hundred metal spikes on the back like a
porcupine, each of which shift seemingly on their own. The metal plates around the head have a metallic dragon skull attached at the top, with two hundred normal teeth but two on either side of the skull which stick out for goring teeth. These plates are held together by chains wrapped around the armor plates and skull which are holding the beast together. In this form Kurohime is feral and could rip others apart freely. This is why chains are dug into and through Sky’s entire right arm and hand so that he has control over her.

 (Imperial Bowing Maiden of the Summer Household)

 In this form the blade turns into thousands of cherry blossoms made
of compressed fire not yet in its super-heated plasma form. Each cherry
blossom burns anywhere between five thousand to six thousand degrees
Fahrenheit which is half way before fire becomes plasma. When in this
form anything Kurohime sets on fire will compress and burn into the
flowers which are compressed into a blade form, meaning along with
burning Kurohime can cut through anything. Sky has control over the
flowers by motions of his grip and guard allowing him to create walls
and blades at will, though he is unable to create complex shapes until
of course the blade can take on a dragon like appearance which he can
use to attack with.

 More over these flowers take on the mind and will of Kurohime
allowing for them to move on their own to protect their owner, of course
 if Sky wills it they lose the ability to move or do combat. Within this
 state Sky is able to create multiple versions of the Kurohime and her
blade, meaning he can carry with him the powers or magic of anyone or
thing he opposes so long as he is in combat with them and is able to
continually resonate with Kurohime. While these blades can easily be
broken it does not shatter the cherry blossoms and their affect, only
the replica blade and the copy of whatever they oppose.

**Kazahana Mantle, Kazahana Glorious Ring**

Also known as the Kazahana Heaven Ring, an SS Heaven Ring which he can use at any time. The ring is a bright silver ring which holds two amplifying crystals at either end. The top of the ring holds an amplifying crystal that houses the Heaven Stone. The stone itself is shaped like a snow drop in bloom, one which spread out to a large banner beneath. The ring is unable to summon forth a Heaven Flame that is unable to damage or degrade other Flames only able to strengthen them and represents the Will of Heaven.

**Raptor Chime**

Raptor Chime is a B ranked Wind Ring which he keeps inside of a small treasure box in his room. The ring allows him to to use a Windmill affect, allowing him to break apart large bursts of energy fired at him. The difference is he is only able to break down one burst at a time, and only those he looks at directly. It is also the thing allowing him to use Avalon

**Ignitor (Ignis)**

The SS Box which was left in the care of the Kazahana along with the Mantel. Ignis takes the form of a fully grown lioness with no armor covering her form. There are a large amount of Heaven Flames which cover her head and her shoulders, acting as a pseudo coat which protects her form. It acts only to strengthen allies, the coat increasing in size the more Flames within her and changing type before diminishing with the allies she boosts.

**Avalon**

Avalon takes the form of red falcon which Sky keeps on his body at almost all times. He is a high speed box which flies at seventy to eighty miles per hour, doing so for the soul purpose of collecting information. The box has a three hundred sixty field of view within six to seven meters around it's form. It's audio and visual information that it takes in and can nearly instantly relay it through electrons shooting through the air. Though this connection can be broken apart or scattered with high powered Flames or storms.

**Infinity Jacket**

This is a jacket created by Minda Ando it is a full black trench coat which he has worn ever since he was fifteen years old. The jacket was made as an apology for the actions of the Infinite City knight, Corune. The jacket's insides are adorned with the pattern of all the different Kazahana flowers. The jacket itself seems to act as his sole defense, working to protect him from most curses and hexes.

**Dual Hand Du**

 The pocket watch he had ever since he was sixteen years old, it allows him jump through the bodies of different versions of himself in different timelines. It also allows the minds of other versions which hold the pocket watch to do the same and in it's later incarnations it allowed him to switch his physical bodies with the others and even summon ghosts of his other selves, which die off at a whim, though they are the versions of him which held the watch and died. The pocket watch is a dark silver watch which when opened has a single face but within that are two different clock faces, each face seemingly working to focus on different timezones and some that may or may not exist.

The watch has even more abilities beyond that, firstly it has shown the ability to create a stable time loop within objects, people, and even entire timelines to keep things in a perfect balance and causing the 'glitches' or distortions in time from spreading. Another ability demonstrated is that of Reset, where in when someone activates their powers, they are able to reset time to the moment of their time powers being released. This however only counts to the last instance of a being using their time powers, meaning that they are unable to constantly Reset from any point that they may wish to. The final ability that the watch has shown and possibly the most powerful, is the ability to store within in vast if not endless amounts of time energy which spills out whether from paradoxes, causal loops, glitches, and even ruptures in the time stream.

## Abilities

### Species Abilities

**Ookami Born**

His birth as a being of fire and light made it so that he could naturally cast out shadows through hand to hand combat instead of having to use natural methods of combating them such as light attacks or light grenades. As a being of fire and light he was also born with a natural affinity to fire and it cast around him an ability which made it so that he would not be burned by fire or light, this however does not exclude explosive force, extreme amounts of heat, or concentrated beams of light. Sky's fur as well as the horns he grows and his teeth are as hard as steel, though his fur seems to have a sudden reaction, when threatened or angry the fur instantly flattens and his skin takes on the steel like property as an instant defense mechanism. Ookami are also able to howl at around one hundred sixty to one hundred eighty decibels, strong enough to knock back cars and at close distances it will shatter the eardrums and cataracts of those within a close enough range, directly in front of him within a outwards facing cone shape.

**Kamiden**

When severely injured Sky is able to weave together a large cloak of his own blood, compressed fire held together by his aura granting him a magma hot shell of blood which when broke spilled the nearly three thousand degree blood around him. This form allows him extreme amounts of speed and a way make up for his extremely low defenses. The only drawback is that in this form he is unable to summon forth any fire or unleash his magic as it would rebound inside of the shell and cause damage to himself. He makes up for this by using his single flaming tail which reaches temperatures of six thousand degrees Celsius and can lash out at three hundred miles per hour. the largest drawback to this form is that use of it causes severe blood loss and Sky to enter a berserker mode, which has nearly killed his friends many times.

**Kaiju**

In Sky's Kaiju form he takes the form of a sixty meter tall wolf and fifty meters long. He appears almost like his bestial form, though in this state his silver fur radiates a bright red as fire seems to be burning beneath the fur. Each of his tails ends in a single fireball, which seems to burn in a permanent state. There are also balls of fire burning around Sky's paws, fitted to them into what appears to be a large saber like gloves. His maw is also elongated, with two sets of fangs one located normally in his mouth the other set pointing out to the side almost like an alligator allowing him to snap up anything within striking range. Much like most Kaiju dragons or snakes Sky has extremely long whiskers, starting just below the nose and hanging downwards, like other examples they seem to move on their own. Located floating above his back is a massive gold and red halo broken into moving segments though the front section is missing, this halo seems to cover most of his form as it is about forty meters in total. Within the large halo appears to be a large red sun burning at a constant rate.

### Learned Abilities

**Stand Proud (V.2)**

In this form he summons out the spirit of Kurohime and Sukia the two of which launch out at ninety miles per hour as the Heat Death Matrix activates along with the Cursed Hand. Dancing around their opponent each launchs out wild slashes to knock the opponent into the others strikes. Each cut activates the Kurohime's second form breaking away the injuries causing the enemy to literally fall apart into the black petals. At the end the three summon the blades plasma form connecting them with plasma lightning, creating a magnet plane where the weapons are pulled together and upon connecting launch the two out at over one hundred eighty miles per hour as they cut down their opponent through vital areas. The Cursed Hand finally activates turning the body of the person cut into a bomb and swiftly detonates.

### Inherited Abilities

**Strength of the Kazahana**

Dueto his bloodline of of skilled fire magic practitioners and Ookami, he inherited what is known as the Strength of the Kazahana. while there is not much to say about this ability, it is simply the control of fire and magma around him as well as the ability to spontaneously combust anything within his field of vision though this takes a few moments of concentration versus creating them around his body and his being almost instantly. This is matched by the fact heat and fire no longer affect him, while it an be uncomfortable and even hurt, he can survive even swimming in lava. It has caused his core body temperature to be higher than normal as well as the temperature of his skin meaning water starts to dry and evaporate from his skin much faster and he can stay warm in the cold. It also allows him to absorb fire around his form and ignite his aura at will, meaning that he is 'burning' in a sense whenever he wills his aura into being.

**Heat Death Matrix**

Known as Sky's final and most dangerous ability, one that he seems to have been born with along with his sister. This ability is simple, burn, empower, burn further, become stronger. The more he burns and the hotter things get around him the stronger he becomes. The more everything heat around him, the stronger everything becomes the more his aura empowers him. His fire becomes so strong it turns the ground around him to plasma and can even seer out oxygen and tear holes through the o-zone layer. However, the hotter it becomes and the stronger Sky becomes the more he hurts himself. He begins to glass himself starting around his heart, turning his body into a sort of geode which could shatter as muscles turn the crystal. Eventually if his power goes too far it can cause a permanent burn in the O-Zone which will ignite an entire planet to burn. Of course use for any longer than thirty to forty minutes of the Heat Death Matrix will cause his body to shatter and he will die.

**The Blast Forge**

This is the most important thing that the Kazahana had to offer, a large forge which is apparently a large sun trapped at the moment before collapsing, making it the hottest it could be. Every aspect from the size to the gravitational forces can be controlled by any Kazahana who get trained. The forge is covered in alchemical and magical marks, it allows the person to forge almost every material, mystical materials, rare gems, and even living souls into weapons of whatever shape that the Kazahana may wish. They can also draw upon it's power in order to grow plants which are infused with the properties of the objects within the forge. It allows them to create extremely unique and powerful weapons which are living things.

**The Cursed Arm**

Known simply as The Cursed Arm, this is an Elder God Weapon that was once held by the great Elder God known as The Master before being grafted onto Sky's body. It takes the form of hundreds of vector marks which run the entire length of his right arm, connecting around his neck and chest to his heart. Much like other parasitic weapons, it will remain locked onto the host and corpse even after death, with only proper Elder God Biomechanics able to remove it from their being. As far as abilities, it allows Sky to place the black lines, a mix of his own Aura and the self destructing Black Energy of the Cursed Arm onto anything he can physically touch. From there it acts as a parasite, spreading outwards as it saps everything from Aura to Madness, gathering more energy as the black lines spread over any surface, once touched nothing can remove the lines except deactivation of the Cursed Arm or detonation of it.

As far as it's detonation, this is what comes when Sky decides to activate the black lines, detonating those of his choosing instead of all those that have spread. They first splice atoms around them and pull in all available energy, completely obliterating the atoms of whatever they are attached to on the surface. Then the split atoms and energy are released as an atomic explosion, one thousand pounds of TNT equivalent per unit of mass meaning that on a normal person the explosion would be a two to three thousand pound TNT equivalent in a nuclear detonation. This will usually take out twenty to thirty feet around the opponent outwards and around seventy to eighty upwards with the fall out and force being felt up to almost sixty meters away. The downside is that this rips apart Sky's arm, releasing a highly radioactive (2,000 on the Geiger counter) sludge. It is strong enough that being touched by it will cause cancer cells to metastasize at one one thousandth their normal rate and cause sever radiation burns and sickness which can overpower even Angels in moments. The ooze itself loses all potency after a few moments but will cause continually radiation burns and sickness along Sky's arm if not the entire right side of his body for sometimes days after with not even Echo Blank's healing abilities able to fix him right away.

### Lost Abilities

**Time Swap:**

Sky once had the ability to switch a person's mind, body, and even places between different timelines at will. This allowed him to pull and move around objects, people, and so on at will. This works by taking the object and either swapping it with the nearest timeline or even going so far as to pull in a copy from another timeline to which he could use. While unable to control said being if per say it had free will, it seems if he can control or master the weapon he can easily use it to the full of his abilities. He mostly used this ability in an offensive manner doing so to bring out weapons or to change places in order to give him advantages in battle. This however did not work on his own, he needed time to stop and charge up his ability before pulling in, creating an easily visible glowing seal which if ruptured would completely shatter or destroy the Time Swap.

(Semi performable through Dual Hand Du)

**Cancer of Time:**

As the Destroyer of Time it was Sky's duty to go to timelines that were deemed "cancerous" and would therefor present a danger to the rest of time. Sky would jump to key moments of the timeline, those that defined it kept it stable before altering them in such a way to break down the timeline causing it to glitch and break apart. When it became too unstable Sky would detonate an "explosive" inside of the time stream causing the timeline to implode in on itself and devour itself before disappearing into the Maelstrom. This is mirrored through a much smaller power, the power of Cancellation. Upon causing severe or irreparable damage to an object, Sky gains the ability to completely erase that object. It is shown this works on single objects at a time, not those within, so if he was to destroy a house everything inside would be left untouched. This is true for people as the only way to erase a person is to kill them completely, from there they were never to have appeared in that timeline. Utter detonation of the heart, destruction of the brain or head, and atomizing all seems proper otherwise he would simply destroy whatever was severed or damaged, i.e. if he cuts off an arm he can then remove the arm from time.

**Knight Form**

Known simply as the destruction of time, the Knight Form is the weaponized berserker mode that was born into all Knights. In this stage Sky connects with the Maelstrom, erasing anything he severs or breaks without any form of control His entire form is covered in an overly powerful aura made of the Maelstrom itself, causing anything he touches to decay and break apart due to the power and forces of entropy.

**Stand Proud (V.1):**

Stand Proud is Sky's ultimate technique, cast upon a single target. Once activated Sky summons the temporal copies from timeline branch of his attack, rather every single timeline where the attack was successful. Upon launching his single slash is multiplied by his copies which range from ten to sixty. It does not matter if the slash causes any damage it is simply to knock the target into the next copies slash. This continues each temporal copy moving at ninety miles per hour making them fast enough to counter or move around outside attacks. Finally the real Sky appears behind the target with his fully charged plasma blade Kurohime. Taking this weapon he will bring it down upon the targets back in a sneak attack. Upon slashing them the full of the plasma is absorbed into their wound and explodes outwards he lowers the blade.

## History

Before they were born to their
parents Shiroha and Amilee Kazahana the twins who would be named Sukia and
Sorano were nearly assassinated by order of their grandfather, surviving only
by merging their souls together as one and allowing the bodies to act independently.
And so they were born, never able to really leave the others side, it left them
doing their best to try and become proper heirs to the family despite what they
were, Sorano saved from the humiliation his sister saved through her own grace,
only able to feel her sorrow and phantom pains. Still he did his best to be a
good brother to her and the two siblings who would soon be born, his sister Haruka
and his brother Kohaku

This continued until their
grandfather Arufu had enough in the dead of night he led a group of beasts and
bandits to raid the home in the middle of the night. Sky awoke to his mother
holding his baby siblings and pulling both he and his twin out of bed, hurrying
them to hide below the house. He saw the mansion in flames and his family being
slaughtered, even his own father being pulled into The Core. Hiding below the
floorboards as he held his siblings close he watched his mother die and as her
blood soaked him he activated the HDM, igniting the mansion in the black plasma
which turned the mansion and the attackers to ash.

Sorano, now Sky carried his
siblings alone through the forest, taking them to a small village nearby, where
they lived as orphans, Sukia’s body finally failing her without treatment and
the two youngest starving without proper nourishment. Sky took full host of his
sibling, her thoughts, her will, they would share his body and ensure that they
would help feed their siblings. It was at this time they met the Ghoul Kyoshi
who while not able to keep the family, was able to feed them and refer them to
a local mage who needed an apprentice. This had been a trap set by that Mage,
he was recruiting for the Masked Army, to which Sky was easily tricked into
joining

### **City of Shadows**

Ten years passed, he endured
torture, physical destruction, and the implementation of the Worm Albion
Machiavelli, his true name was lost to the Madness of War replaced by second
name of his Worm. Given the target of Ruru Sakura along with two others by the
name of Epistola and Labaryis, returning to Yoma to track her, in this case
Kari where she had just arrived from Buraltar. Leaving the others he found her
performing in front of a crowd to which he released his flames, scattering the
people and prompting her escape.

Later he came to find her, saving
her from a would be mugging without killing her, without understanding Ruru had
managed to pull some control from the Worm and free Sky from the Madness of
War. She naturally gravitated towards him because she though he was his father,
the reason she had come so far. Not understanding their connection or how she
managed to quiet control of the Worm Sky decided to serve her as her protector.

Epistola and Labaryis found them
and upon seeing the betrayal of their comrade released shadow like beasts that
released some of the power of the weapon within Ruru, reducing the city around
them to fire and chaos. To protect others and them Sky took her and brought her
an old Kazahana villa to hide for the time being. As she slept, having used all
of her power Sky watched over Ruru.

The shadows surrounded the home,
lying in wait while one snuck in, in the small bout that ensued between it and
Sky his past was revealed to his young Charge as a former assassin for The Red
Eyed Master. Sky left Ruru to rest, not acknowledging her after, instead he
left the villa with blade in hand to kill as many Shadows as he could. She
joined him early in the morning when he was near dead and out of strength,
being the reason they were able to survive for a time, as another group came a
man covered head to toe in scraps of cloth and bandages appeared unleashing a
burst of light, nearly destroying Sky’s eyes and killing the shadows, leaving
both to pass out in exhaustion and pain.

### **A Hammer Against Forever**

Sky awoke in an apartment by the
sea with Ruru asleep in a bed nearby, remembering only the shadows he leapt
into action, ready to attack and kill. The man from before, identifying himself
as Ace entered the room. He had been caring for them and had only done so
selfishly, he had started a guild called Cyclops Hammer but needed members to
register before the guild was shut down. Sky of course refused and left with
Ace following behind mostly questioning him about where he would go and what he
would do, probing him for answers. Saying he would rather not get involved with
any of it he went about the city of Kabe, though considering they were within
the Guild district he could barely get any information or even get served food.
Forced into a corner and with Ace’s probing Sky was forced into joining Cyclops
Hammer and without knowledge labeled as the leader.

As a storm rolled in Sky returned
to the small apartment building, seeing Ruru out by a river bank that was about
to flood over, trying to pull something from the flooding rapids. Sky knowing
she would get pulled away on her own went and helped her pull a drowning man
from the waters as an amused Ace watched. While Ruru nursed him back to health
Sky was quick to interrogate him, not trusting the situation after having
escaped the Master only a day earlier. He identified himself as O’Neill who Ace
was quick to rope into his collection of people who would be joining them in
Cyclops Hammer much to Sky’s protest as they barely knew him. Given some time
the two would work as partners and soon become friends.

Days after their escape, to
collect some samples for Ace to repay him for their food and home the two found
the burial ground of something “evil” to which they discovered the Lich Dragon
known as Blackheart who had stayed there only because of his own personal
boredoms. Considering they had entertained him enough just getting past his
traps and defenses, he decided to join them with his treasures as a reward. Sky
knew they would need to find a place with a proper barrier to keep out the Masked
Army and protect Ruru, so using what power he could he would take trips between
the former home of the Kazahana and to the Hashigai Shrine out near Yamagata to
perform the rights to restore the once great Gods Cherry Tree which acted as
the barrier of the city around it and heart of the Kazahana.

It was here he fostered the
dreams of the young Toobari Hashigai to become a Samurai and even someday serve
as his personal vassal as her family saw him as a would-be Land God. He had
spent his time there, getting to know the family, though the mother Kyouko
tried to keep a distance between the two as it was viewed improper for servants
of the Land God to be connected with one so personally. Back on Yoma, as
nations began to draw closer to war Sky began to set up the Kazahana Mansion
back in Kyoto Double 60’s where he met the young author and would be soldier
Ryonosuke who showed the group the constant attacks of the Infinite City’s
Corune Kryzer who had declared the area future land for the kingdom.

Sky lead Ace and King to rebel,
driving back and nearly killing all the knights Corune would bring with him
prompting Minda, the queen of this city to try and come to some kind of peace
with the group but the talks broke down and she was brought home. From there
Sky lead the group to the arena city created to hold weekly tournaments. It was
there Sky found Kyoshi Haruka again, who out of her own guilt for allowing him
to be pulled into the Masked Army promised she would do anything for him, to
which he simply brought her into the group. From there he leads the others into
victory in the weekly tournaments humiliating Minda’s friends and forces,
leaving them nearly dead.

He went so far in his stunts as
to even steal a kiss from Minda before a round, leading to the removal of one
of his arms, which he replaced with one stolen from Corune during a match. With
Corune, Sky was truly challenged just barely winning thanks to the power inside
of his blade considering Corune had fully manifested his own Aura. With Minda
there was a budding romance which both hid from the world. He would often see her
in her private sky box and he would hide her appearance and go to the growing
cherry tree in the heart of enemy territory.

When the Holy War of Extermination
began the tournaments came to an end and he could no longer see the queen he
was falling for. Sky partnered with Ryonosuke as well as a shady Orleans man
named Vel’Jeane. It was here he gained a name, raiding enemy encampments and
setting fire to his enemies, earning the name Red Death. He allowed his funds
to be used to fund bars, to keep peace between sides that could
easily turn to enemies, plans to work with others such as Jayuka to allow them
easy travel between assassinations or raids. During this time he freed Elaina
who had been kept as a slave. She instantly took to him and refused to let go,
Sky kept her at his side as she whispered the secrets of her Aura to help
unlock his, allowing him proper use of the HDM.

The Council had been recruiting
people around this time pulling in Ryonosuke, Sky, and Vel’Jeane for all they
had done and each was given a different ultimatum. Sky’s was that Elaina would
have a home and Toobari’s family would have a real Land God too look after them
and their shrine paid for so they wouldn’t need to leave their home. Sky
relented and agreed, he was sent to the front lines with Ryonosuke, it was
there he spent a year at war going home on and off. The boy could barely stand
the killing and so Sky had to keep him safe in the battle field and in the end
became a reason for him to live. At the final battle, Sky managed to bring in
Ace and King, the only two he knew could match the monsters of Fifth Heaven. He
intended to die against the castle known as Dredgen, bringing the two to ensure
Ryonosuke and a few others would live.

Or course the rest of his family
came during the assault, most battling through hoards of soldiers and monsters
to ensure those sent to the front could end the war swiftly. A hundred stormed
the castle and four snuck inside to kill the would be leader. They found Fifth
Heaven waiting and a slaughter after there. In minutes the hundred were left as
seven. Sky’s HDM burned and broke the area triggering the release of the once
dormant volcano as his very Aura and rage pulled the lava from the ground.
Without meaning he triggered Iffrit and then darkness. He didn’t remember how
the battle ended but the won, in the end he picked up Ryonosuke’s habit for
writing in his memory.

### **The Red Eyes Black**

Not even a year had passed since
the war had ended, most people had moved on. Sky married Ruru and Cyclops
Hammer had been retired with the name Kazahana finally put back into proper
use. The Masked Army who had been allied with Fifth Heaven and Brudenhiem in
the war were not pleased with the failure, even more with the loss of the axe
Gailbunter and the involvement of multiple lost assets. They lashed out at the
Kazahana and were dispatched by the family considering their skill and the
almost inhuman amount of strength they had acquired in such a short amount of
time. So they had only one recourse to attack that which he held dear Sky’s
siblings hiding on Earth.

In the Wu Mountains Sky and Sukia
both had to use almost all of their power to battle against an even stronger
Epistola who had tracked Kohaku, now known as Stone to the locals. The battle
nearly ended in all three siblings deaths but Ace had come and with his power
shattered most of her body before pulling her back into whatever hole from
reality she belonged. Sky was mostly asleep for the trip in France allowing his
twin sister control during the time. While in Paris the tracked Haruka, now Sun,
and her lover Aelita to clubs hidden in the catacombs. They found them in
battle with Chevalira and her beasts, they managed to win only when Sky allowed
himself to be stabbed through the heart and glassed partially allowing Sukia to
burn the half of the woman’s body into near ash. Sky survived only thanks to
his sister rejoining him completely, the two revealing how they had bonded into
a single physical body.

They returned home with Aelita,
Sun, and Ainsley to help Sun through the remaining months of her pregnancy.
While recovering Sky has to talk with Ruru about the fragments of her slightly
recovering memories and so with help from the records of his family he found
Ruru’s home, the ancestral world of Ice known as Blizus, a kingdom of ice and
cold. Without telling a soul the two run off to this world to find out about
her. During their time the Masked Army who had been planning a rebellion there
took notice and got the rebel faction they were funding to take action. For
weeks they dodged rebels, the Army and clashes between until they made it to
the city of Shei Boreal, Ruru’s home where she was reunited with her mother and
father, the queen and king.

To them the marriage between her and
Sky was null and her betrothed and Queensguard Nicodemus took him away to
discuss matters. He was a turn coat and beat Sky to near death before throwing
him in a cell to freeze. Trapped for weeks Sky was able to once more commune
with Iffrit and called upon his power, the weapon projecting a human form which
allowed their escape. He returned to Ruru blade in hand, Nicodemus and Sky
engaged one another in battle as members of the Masked Army closed in. Ruru
saved them both, pulling power from the spear Nicodemus used, a weapon like
Iffrit. They were surrounded but before they were captured or killed they found
themselves pulled all the way back to the Kazahana Mansion.

### **Soul Bound Rose**

Sky and Ruru wake up back home
with the friends surrounding them and two others, a young blonde woman and a
near mute silver haired boy beside her, she introduces herself as the makers of
Iffrit and Fenris as well as King’s Talon, Fang, and Claw. She is the Rose
Witch Golba and with her, she simply called her lovely doll. She had come to reclaim
the weapons but in their condition they were better suited with their owners,
finding it a shame she couldn’t have arrived before they bound themselves onto people.
The group tries to push her out but are instantly overpowered by the sheer Aura
of her own weapon, the Mechanized Gunvolt Soul Machina. Work for her and she
promises power, power enough to fight her Machina. Sky instantly relents and
agrees, he wants to be strong enough Ruru never needs to fight for him again,
strong enough that none of them need to fight. They refuse to let him go alone
and all join Golba and her doll at Stars Tower, a massive artificial Cauldron
stationed above a dying nebula, drinking in the raw power of creation. It is
here they meet Ynter bringing in the first of their extermination subjects, a
Soul Hunter. It lashes out at Sky, who pulled by Iffrit’s projection impales
the creature and watches as it burns to ashes and cinder before his eyes.

From here he spent time working
for Golba at the tower, killing the creatures known as Soul Hunters, acting as
what Golba called one of her Perfections, he was tasked with taking most of the
newer members into the field alongside Ynter to hunt down weaker threats and
train them to work alongside their weapon, though for the most part he kept
getting in continued arguments with Golba’s doll who had now identified himself
as Echo Blank, this being mostly over the member Sky was training known as Lightning
Grey.

While out they find one of the
leaders of the Soul Hunters, a massive Chimera like beast named Sand, he
unveils his weapon Serial Resonance Nightmare and in the torrent of feathers
makes his escape from the group leaving behind hundreds of Hunters, who are all
quickly dispatched by a group of hooded figures, saying only to give Golba
their regards.

During his time with Golba his
jobs moved from training to leading the strike missions, often working with
different groups of other people and taking them on missions against the Soul
Hunters upper echelon and the Masked Army who assisted them. During one
skirmish Sky was sent to earth finding the Coperture who played host and mentor
to Echo and Lightning, it was at this time Wonder of Envy and Manchester of
Wrath teamed up on them, Sky again useless as he was unable to draw the true
projection of his weapon watching as Lightning and Echo dispatched them.
Another against Sand of Gluttony the nature of Echo and Sky’s relationship came
to light, often they would be seen trying to attack or harm one another during
battle because of it as they could not actually attack one another.

In the battle known as Dawn’s
Gate the Masked Army and Soul Hunters launched a surprise attack on King, Sky,
and Ruru who were taking others out to train. This lead to a battle where Sky’s
worm awoke and the monster inside of him was released, nearly killing Ruru an
King before Golba intervened her weapon going wild and tearing a powerful rip
between worlds which through him through time and space. When he awoke he was
on Flarus a world of fire to which he was seen as something or a miracle and
with no weapons he joined the royal family as Kings Guard assisted by the Witch
Kurumu and her sister Hatoru. It was during this time he assisted them
memoryless, able to draw Iffrit’s full power due to now having full command of
the projection. Ace is able to find him and bring him back home, only
triggering his memories when he talks about Ruru and what had happened since he
had been gone, bringing Kurumu and Hatoru with him he  promised them places in the Kazahana for what
they had done.

Sky decided to leave
his second in charge in command for some time, decided to stay with Ruru while
she recovered, he spent days without sleeping or eating just to watch over her.
Eventually when Ruru managed to wake up she convinced him to finally rest.
Going to eat he sees Wohl, who while having no idea who he is, Sky is instantly
wary. Being the only ones in the room Wohl starts to talk to him with Sky not
responding as he ate. Eventually, what tips him off to the danger is the
ignition of a strong soul and the ghost like weapon, Dues Ex. About to begin
Battle Wohl, to which Wohl laughs it off. He said that there would be no fun to
kill someone half dead.

In the end as Ruru
recovered Kurumu and Hatoru cared for them both to ensure they would return
home. In a last ditch effort Sand drifted to the Tower and released Briar,
Milan, Rush, and Manchester. They began to tear the tower apart killing anyone
they saw, in the end Sky engaged them knowing he would die. Upon being stabbed
Golba saved him with the full power of her Machina as the tower sealed. All the
survivors were sent home, as Golba burned through all of her power and magic to
save them, the last Sky saw was Deus Ex’s fire consuming the souls of the
Hunters as he attacked his sister.

Sky and Iffrit who
had finally gained his own body parted ways, leaving the cursed weapon in Sky’s
care

### **Night of Cherries**

After all of this Sky
had gone to run the Kazahana and only the Kazahana with Ruru joining hi as the
others recovered from their loss at the Tower. Sky had been spending his time
growing stronger, even at the price of slowly running down and injuring his
body in secret. This came to light when the Masked Army attacked yet again,
causing even more chaos. It came to a head when Ruru and Sky were captured and
brought to the lesser castle, the Court of Dreams where they lost most if not
all of their memories having the Masked Army try to unravel them down to a
point where they could be captured.

As this happened
Black, Ace, and King were coming in to try and do battle with the Masked Army
members who were staying nearby to keep an eye on things. This disrupted the
experiment and allowed Sky and Ruru to piece their memories back together, even
if it took a day or so within the Court. While barely able to keep up the fight
on their own Echo appeared to save them, somehow summoning natural disasters on
his own. He had not only brought the power of the Coperture, as he was named a
Guardian but he had brought the Kazahana Rings which had been stolen years
before. Sky using the power of the Heaven Ring, was able to tear open a rip
which he used in conjunction with Effret to burn the members of the Masked Army
into the void.

For a time, the group
celebrated being reunited and spend what little time they had together as
family for the last time. for This caused a two year peace period where in Sun
was left in wedlock, leaving her only daughter, Ai, to Sky to be raised as Sun
would rather have her daughter know a real family. This came two years before
Sky and Ruru had their own children, the twins Mi and Aki. Sky was able to
raise the family with his wife for three years until the Masked Army
reappeared. While leaving Kyo to watch after the kids Sky and Ruru pursued the
members of the Army who had threatened the family. Ace, Black, and King joined them
just as Sky and Ruru were taken into the Castle.

There, Sky and Ruru
confronted The Master, lord of the army. The Master was an Elder God,
possessing the body of Sky's father after fully bonding with him in order to
give himself an anchor to the world. Upon ordering those left activated the
cursing masks they were given which allowed them to take on the power of an
Elder God and used their madness as Sky had. Sky and Ruru were able to fight
off and kill four of the members before the remaining sixteen chased them
through the castle and managed to overpower them, most taking Ruru to the core
while the rest went to kill Sky. He would have resorted to the mask if not for
the others coming through and holding back the Masked Army while Sky went after
Ruru.

Sky walked in on the
Master abusing and ripping apart Ruru, infecting her body with Black Blood,
while the parasites he had inserted into her form were reacting with a weapon
inside of her. The weapon was soon readied, forcing Ruru to the top of the
tower to charge it while Sky and The Master battled below. The Master took up
his true form to battle Sky and to show him just how weak he was, though Sky
managed to cut off the Master's right arm, using the power of his mask to fuse
it to his body. In doing so it magnified his power and created his cursed arm.
Using it through Effret Sky cooked the Master alive within his armored shell
before causing his body to melt through the plates covering Sky in the
radioactive formerly living waste. While it burned he used it to break down the
tower and free Ruru at the cost of having his body ruined in the process. With
no way to save Ruru and the weapon about to detonate Sky decided to show her
some mercy, detonating the new weapon attached to his arm and gave her a
peaceful death as her heart was glass

In the end he went to
the Hashigai family shrine to try and save Ruru, his own injuries much worse.
It was there Toobari and her family managed to save Sky with Sukia's help.
After a week of recovery and the two arguing in private, Sky left without a
word.

This came as the
Kazahana started to fall apart, Ace having taken up the old Cyclops Hammer base
and never returning. Infighting between Sky and Black, sent the Lich to stay
with Golba, and King had supposedly died in combat. Sky was slipping, he had
taken up death matches for fun, working as a Ripper for the council while drinking
away most of his ill-gotten gains. This came around the time the Kazahana
needed to restore its ranks and numbers and Echo came to request something of
Sky, he would help the monster find members for the Coperture and in return he would
be given peace.

## Naming

His name fits with the nature motif of the Kazahana originally went for following in suit with his siblings Stone and Sun

It was later revealed Sky's name is actually Sorano ( 空の ) which
is a female name in Japanese not fitting with the male character. This
comes from the fact Sky was supposed to be a twin and received the original name his sister was supposed to have.

His last name is Kazahana ( 風の花 ) which comes across as Kaze No
Hana or Flower of Wind but the name removes symbol of ( の ) which is No.
 That changes it from the typical Wind Flower into Snowflake but instead
 it still is pronounced as Wind Flower.

## Trivia

Sky was supposed to be a twin, but his sister died at birth. He
inherited his sisters position as heir to the family as well as her aura
 and soul which is why he is so powerful, he is two people fighting as
one.

Sky's sister is part of the "being" inside of his weapon the Kurohime
which is why it mutated so drastically from its original self. Instead
of the normal soul of the blade consuming and adapting like Muramasa and
 Masamune, whatever Sky did to the previously unnamed sword changed it
into the new Kurohime.

Sky retains enough of his sisters soul inside of himself it is
what allows him to perform the extremely powerful abilities usually only
 seen with two people in sync. This is because of the two souls inside
of him which merged into almost one and are always in perfect sync.

While the Kazahana use many forms of flowers (Cherry Blossoms,
Snowdrops, Snowdrop Anemone, Anemone, Winter Windflowers, Camellias,
Dandelions, Zephyranthes (Rain Lilies), but Sky only uses Cherry
Blossoms, anemone, and Camellias as his personal symbols.

Sky's aura takes on two scents depending on which side he is. The
 normal scent he has is Pine which in the language of the flowers means
Time (Relating to his godly allegiance), Endurance (Relating to his own
self), Hope (Which relates to his outlook on life), Faith (Which he
holds to those he cares for), Hope in adversity (Which relates to the
whole life), Farewell (This relates to another aspect of his life
considering how people died in his life), Courage (taking affect to his
own self), and Daring (This is one of his main traits).

When in his second form his aura takes the scent of mint. Mint in
 the language of the flowers means something else it relates to Virtue
(this is the opposite of what the this form he takes is, as he is a
beast), warmth of feeling (A pun relating to the fact of he is a beast
of heat and fire), protection from illness (another joke as this form is
 a blight which causes a radioactive sickness around most mortal forms)
