Blade

**Blade** is an Adept working for the Sumeragi Institute in hopes of one day finding Kohaku.

## Appearance

Blade is a young woman who wears black robes. She also has blue gloves and boots. She wears a gray mask that covers her face. Her blonde hair is tied into a ponytail. Additionally, he has six scabbards, although only one of them holds a sword.

## Personality

Blade only has one goal: to reunite with Kohaku, spending of her free time looking at a pendant containing a photo of the two when they were younger. She believes working with Sumeragi will give her to best chance at doing such. She feigns loyalty to Sumeragi and does all their dirty work in hopes of using them to somehow find Kohaku one day, admitting she holds nothing personal against Gunvolt, but still trying to kill him due to the fact that he opposes Sumeragi.

## History

Most of Blade's backstory is a mystery, but she was once close with Kohaku, but she eventually ran away. Blade expressed remorse for this decision, but didn't know where to find Kohaku. She joined up with Sumeragi in hopes of somehow being able to find Kohaku.

One day, Blade ran into the Minos' savior and Sumeragi's greatest enemy, iX. The two fought, but iX was rescued by Kohaku. Whether or not Blade was aware of Kohaku's involvement is unknown, though. Ever since then, Blade had been training to defeat iX.

One day, Demerzel assigned Blade to observe Gargantua's latest weapon, the Giant Lola. Blade watched as the Giant Lola attacked a city block, but it was attacked by an Adept who looked similar to Blade, even having the same Septima. Unbeknownst to Blade, this Adept was Gunvolt. Gunvolt easily destroyed the Giant Lola, so Blade fought him. However, Gunvolt was strong enough to hold Blade back and retreat.

Following that, Blade gave Demerzel a report on the Giant Lola's effectives. Demerzel deemed it passable. After that, Blade tried to search Sumeragi's data banks for information on Gunvolt, but found nothing, before being informed Demerzel wanted to speak to her again. She learned Crimm had betrayed Sumeragi, something she didn't find very surprising. She then brought up Gunvolt, and how she couldn't find any information on him. Demerzel told Blade about the Butterfly Effect.

The next day, Blade learned that the Butterfly Effect had located Crimm. Blade went to stop him, travelling to an auto-fabrication plant. Once she got there, she also ran into iX and Gunvolt. However, Crimm had been expecting Blade to show up, and revealed that he had set up a trap, using Detonation to destroy the auto-fabrication plant's roof and causing the building to crumble. Crimm then escaped, leaving Blade with Gunvolt and iX, who were also running away.

Blade immediately attacked iX, who was able to dodge her strike by Bullit Dashing, but while doing so, iX flew right under a piece of concrete, which hit his head. As Blade prepared to kill iX, Gunvolt interfered and revealed his name. The two fought each other, with Gunvolt managing to push Blade back. As Blade prepared to keep fighting, she was stopped by falling debris, separating her from Gunvolt and iX. Blade decided to retreat.

Blade explained what she had learned to Demerzel. In response, Demerzel explained Gunvolt's origins, and how Gunvolt was presumed to have died. Blade found this questionable, but kept it a secret from Demerzel.

## Skills

### Azure Striker

**Azure Striker** is Blade's Septima. It allows her to manipulate energy to create blue lightning. She can channel this lightning into her sword. She can use this lightning to create burst of electricity by swinging her sword. This lightning can also be used to increase her speed and agility. Assuming Blade's usage is comparable to Gunvolt's, she should be able to amplify the power of her physical strikes, and run up walls. Blade can also resist electricity.

### Swordsmanship

Blade, fitting with her name, carries a sword strong enough to crack pavement and slice apart chunks of concrete. Additionally, her sword is unique, being able to separate its blade into multiple pieces to act as a whip. Blade was able to push back lightning bolts from Gunvolt's Flashfield using her sword.

### Physicality

Blade is fairly fast, being able to keep up with Gunvolt, who has the same Septima as her. She was able to block a barrage of darts fired from Gunvolt's Dart Leader, despite all of those darts coming from different directions. She is also agile enough to kick off falling pieces of concrete.

Blade also possesses a fair amount of durability, having been able to withstand electricity-charged attacks from Gunvolt. She was also able to survive getting hit by Gunvolt's Astrasphere, although this was mostly because she blocked the initial blow using her sword and was pushed into a building, which broke once she made impact with it.
