Nykorem looks more like a young man in his normal form. He is one of the first teacher at the Zero Academy and he's specialized in mana manipulation. As a spellcaster his main elements are Fire, Wind and Electricity. He possesses a natural talent for fighting and he can be a very overwhelming force to be reckoned with when he's using his full demonic form.

He leaves no room for argument when it comes to his beloved sister Guri.

## Appearance:

Nykorem is a tan skinned half demon who resembles a young human in his twenties. He has a lean frame with a well defined musculature making him quite unique looking between the teachers of the Zero Academy. During fights he has a tendency of swiping back his long black hair while making an intense gaze. In his demonic form he develops tentacle tails (to a max of ten), several dark marks appear on his body and a horn grows in the middle of his forehead sign that he's using his magic at its peak. His default expression at school is of a tired gaze mixed with a confident look on his eyes. In company of his sister he appears almost the opposite, lively and friendly.

## IQ:

Definetely a smart person, Nykorem showed a talent into studying and memorizing anything related to the energy flows inside living beings. As long as a certain subject interests him he's able to study and analyze any theory behind it and practice many ways for improvements. When it comes to martial arts he's a natural born talent, carefully analyzing different styles and even applying them after looking at them once.

## Personality:

As a teacher Nykorem is an articulate and sharp individual immediately pointing up strong and weak points of the students, offering them guidance on how to improve in the subjects he teaches. As a brother he shows this side only to Guri while being a very caring and a happy go lucky person. If he gets involved in a fight where his opponent is strong enough to pick his interest, he wouldn't also mind to resort to tactics as: taunting or distracting them since from a young age Nykorem always had to fight for his life in the demonic realm.

## Hobbies:

Fighting, physical training, designing gadgets, studies about mana flow and manipulation.

## Powers and Abilities:

* **Demonic Form:**

Nykorem turns into this form only in one case, if both of his life and Guri's are endagered he releases his true strength becoming a physical powerhouse with the embodiment of ten tentacle tails growing out of his back and a luminescent horn over his forehead. All of his mana energy is converted in pure physical strength also enhancing his senses, making him more dangerous and focused than usual. So far all of the members of his family are able to use this type of release, Nykorem's rate is about 85% but his older sister is one of the few exceptions with a 100% value making her probably the strongest of the current generation.

* **Demonic Kinetic Vision:**

His kinetic vision is far more developed than a normal one allowing Nykorem to discern techniques and fighting styles just on the first techniques used by an opponent. Prediction and preparation are his best assets but sometime it could also be a weakness if the enemy he's facing uses unpredictable patterns (Noie is a clear example of it).

* **Mana Flow Overload:**

Nykorem is able to convert his inner energy into elemental strength making it flow through his hands to his customized spear granting more strength and durability. The procedure requires a lot of focus from his side and being distracted can also interrupt this flow leading to the weapon turning back to normal.

## Equipment:

* **Vengeance of Light:**

This spear has the special ability to synchronize with Nykorem's skills by shapeshifting depending on the number of tails he's displaying. It is considered a royal treasure from his family but he was one of the few to be compatible with it. If someone else is trying to handle it they will feel weakened since it keeps absorbing mana from anybody in the surroundings. The few exceptions able to touch it without ripercussions are Ishira Lenneth and S.A.M. (probably because they are artificial beings) and Guri (Nykorem's affection for her might also have an influence to the weapon).

## Weak Points:

His main weak point is his sister Guri, he would do anything for her sake. He's weak to cold temperatures since he has to use his energy to keep his body warm, reducing drastically his stamina and physical capabilities. Even his 100% demon form can be weakened by water or ice magic.

## Relationships/Family:

With his students he's generally in good terms except for the rebellious ones such as Noie. He shows some degree of respect towards S.A.M. since the AI protects Guri with everything he got. Guri is showed to be the most important person to Nykorem, he also considers her more of a family than the real one where he grew up. He has an older sister and both of his parents are still alive managing an entire demonic kingdom.
