Jake Inazuma

## Personality

Jake comes off as that one annoyance to the friend group, and rightfully so. Jake is something of a jokester, always cracking jokes and puns alongside his witty humor and remarks. Even in the utmost serious situations, Jake is a total joke. Aside from his usual personality, Jake is a very caring individual. He cares a lot for his family and his friends and is willing to put himself into danger just to protect them. Considering his joking personality, he’s often good at controlling things such as spontaneous temper outburst. He rarely has those. There isn’t anything too complex about Jake as a person.

## Appearance / Powers and capabilities

Jake is a race of creatures known as “Oni.” Typically, the base definition of Oni would be a Japanese demon. However, thousands of races of demonic entities exist, and Jake is one of them. The actual name of his species is unable to be said, but in a nutshell, they are literally shapeshifters. They go by “Oni” in order to be classified, and due to the name being unused. Other entities are usually called Demons or devils. Jake's race of shifters is quite unique. They can assume the form of quite literally anything they desire to be. The limit to size is practically a null concept to them. However, this does not mean they can shift into whatever they want all the time. To shift, requires energy. The bigger the form, the more energy it’ll use up. Too much energy use can cause lightheadedness, sickness, and just makes you feel terrible all in all, even going as far as death. Jake often assumes a natural humanoid form with a…dragon..lizard..tail? It’s a weird look. Despite this however, this is not an Oni’s true form.

The true look of an Oni is a tall Vanta black entity, laced with colorful tints on various parts of their body. The real body of an Oni is semi-humanoid, and quite monstrous looking. The lower half looks like the hind legs and hooves of a goat, whilst the upper body is humanoid. The arms are lanky and have massive claws, whilst they have enormous horns resting on top of their heads. Oni’s have piercing purple tinted eyes with black pupils, and their teeth are gleaming white and sharp. The tinted tips of Oni’s can come in many colors. Jakes happens to be purple. Others can come in pink, blue, red, and so on. It is unknown if these colors have any correlation to overall power.

## BACKSTORY

In the private land of the Oni, Jake lived the natural life of one growing up in the average society unaware of a special gift that he had. The village he lived in was one of the many poor masses amongst the multitude of living spaces. His village lived near the outskirts of the nation, and didn’t receive much financial help for their situation, and were basically at the mercy of monsters that may have possibly roamed the area and wandered into the small town. Besides the terrible conditions, the people did their best to not mind it, and went about the normalcy of their lives. Jake's parents were a part of this vast equation. Unfortunately, Jake experienced bullying from a young age. The main reason was due to his lack of similarity to the other Oni children. Jake had been born with purple color, which is quite unnatural amongst the common of red, blue and pink. It was odd, considering his parents were blue and red themed in their forms. The constant bullying for being different from everyone else led Jake to thinking that he truly was the odd one out, and wouldn’t be able to make friends, or have certain opportunities. Being the sensitive child he was at the time, it bothered him greatly. He never told his parents about the bullying, and never planned too anyways. He didn’t want them to be worried about him when they had other things to deal with, such as sustaining their living space.

As Jake grew older, he did a lot of schooling that was provided, and eventually graduated early. During this time, he figured something out: Laughter is the key. Being obnoxious drives others away. To mask his inside feelings, Jake constantly cracked jokes to the scarce few friends he made as he grew and was obnoxious to those who disliked him and bullied him. Since he was funny to them, they either left him alone, or kept him around for laughs. This was how Jake operated. However, things changed after an accident. One dreadful day, the village was attacked by a Primordial Giant. The occurrence was baffling, considering such creatures never seemed to venture out to such faraway lands. On top of that, only a few species of primordial giants existed. They were never hostile, being wise and old creatures of wisdom. This particular one seemed to be enraged for some reason. Destruction casted across the village, as the small warrior factions living within tried to fight the being, only for efforts to be completely vain. Jake happened to be on his way home from school during this, and he could see the titanic being from miles away. As he rushed home, he immediately went to see if his parents were ok.

Sadly, they were not. The house Jake lived in was absolutely crushed, amongst many others. Clearly under the rubble, he could see the color tipped tails of his parents, completely crushed under the rubble. Jake, of course, tried to hope that they were still alive, but they were dead. The giant meanwhile was still rampaging across the area. This event finally sparked a little thing in him, being the gift, he was born with. Whilst it was oblivious to him, he managed to activate it due to the emotions he felt in that moment. Tapping into his Oni powers, he transformed into the primordial giant, without much of a difference being seen. From this transformation, a large battle ensued. The shockwaves and destruction of such a fight nearly wiped out the rest of the village, but Jake was slowly losing his power as it was his first time transforming.

The trading blows were too much for Jake, as he eventually transformed to normal, falling through the sky. Closing his eyes, the Oni expected death. However, before he hit the ground, an individual in a cloak snatched him out of the sky, as they landed on the ground below. The cloaked individual immediately blitzed the primordial giant, completely decimating the creature with swift blows, tearing through its body. Jake, being tired and near death, was amazed by this, before he eventually blacked out from his exhaustion. When the boy came to, he found himself in a dimly lit room, made entirely out of blackstone, in what looked to be an infirmary. A nurse informed him of his injuries, and that his treatment had healed most of them, but rest was still needed. Naturally, Jake asked about his village. He was pained to hear it was destroyed beyond repair from the battle. But it also made him angry. The kingdom had not bothered to provide any form of assistance to help the village. Whilst it likely would have been redundant, it still grinded his gears.

Not too long after, the cloaked person he saw entered the room, taking off his shawl. Jake immediately recognized him. This individual was Void Darkfire, the prince of Hellscape. It was not a kingdom that didn’t know who he was. Void explained to Jake how he transformed into the primordial giant to combat them, and that he was a special being. Void offered to train Jake to be a warrior, and harness his shifting capabilities.

In return, Jake would be the first of an elite team of assassin's void was getting together. Jake agreed to this, out of the motive of getting revenge on his kingdom. To destroy it once he was powerful enough. After the events with Void and Ari, Jake stuck by Void's side along with the rest of this elite group's members, until Void eventually abandoned the group for years on end, leaving them disbanded for quite some time.
