Reader OM

**'Reader' Duskborn**, who went by the stolen surname Hallows and magician's name Silver of Penny Hallows, is the main character in *No Man's Land*. They pose as the human exchange student by the surname Hallows and magician's name Silver, and are later revealed to be a cursed human called Hex or Bane trying to destroy the Demon King. After the exams they become a photographer for the RAD newspaper. They have been researching how to use concentrated strays of magic by demons, humans, and angels.

## Appearance

While masquarading as Penny Hallows they took on the silver haired streak of Penny, but for the rest are stated to have kept their appearance the same, stating that Penny was known to change her appearance regurly having it be her main magic, but always keeping the silver streak, MC stated as long as Penny's magic energy surrounded them they would not be detected. Since MC is a reader insert most if not all of their appearance is up to the reader although several characteristics are noted such as the fact they look most like their mother having the same nose, their hair is said to have several other dyed streaks troughout. It's noted at the start of the story they have a constant lackluster expression, bags under their eyes, and tend to be more annoyed by most.MC states at one point they've always had a resting face that makes it look like they hate everyone around them, which apparently made it hard for them to make friends in the past.

As the story progresses they become less tense and start carrying themselves better. Levi states their usual smile looks more like a smug or bemused expression. Beel has noted that their real smile makes them look younger, although most of the demon brothers have noted in some way that MC has a constant sad look in their eyes, Beel guesses trough that they've been trough a lot. Solomon however states that sometimes they have a lost look in their eyes, MC asks him if he means this in a philisophical way or if he's insulting them, he doesn't answer the question. When they are revealed to be the cursed human that goes by the name Hex or Bane they start to become a lot more open, Mammon states they have a crazed look in their eyes when doing experiments. Solomon also states their aura changes somewhat as they no longer hide the cursed energy surrounding them, even though the demon brothers work on lifting and minimizing the curse effects Solomon says it still hangs around them like an omen.

MC doesn't like wearing their RAD jacket, but wears it appropriatly in the first few chapters after a few months however they start tying it around their waist often rolling up the sleeves of their green shirt. They do not wear a tie with it, although they do wear black gloves. Sometimes they wear black sneakers with their uniform, although they only do this during school events when they have to walk around a lot for the RAD newspaper, this seems to have been approved by Diavolo since Lucifer doesn't comment on it. Their casual wear is never explicity stated, but it's said they wear comfy-looking clothes, and seem to enjoy wearing large tops, sweathers, etc. They also wear a jeans jacket and are said to dress in male-oriented attire. Levi notes they always have wireless headphones with them.

## Trivia

* Their best subject in RAD is Hexes and Curses, with their worst being Devilldom Law
* The reasoning behind having two magician's names is because there is a superstistian at the academy that if you use the same name three times in a row you'll get cursed for a week, this rumor was spread by MC themselves.
* Their official magician's name is Hex, but was so frequently used MC came to see it as their "real" name which caused them to be effected by dark magic influences after their revival.
* They are weirdly good at Mario Kart even though never having played the game prior, they, however, do not know how to drive in real life.
