Koshia's Demon Form

## Information

***Koshia*** is an Unusual who currently holds the rank of ***Upper Rank Eleven*** within The Mezurashi. He is known by many as "*The Desert Dweller*" as he is the leader of a ring of unusuals who have assumed control of the Vernati Desert. He is one of the oldest unusuals in the organization, his origins dating back centuries ago, before the start of The Reclaiming War.

## Politics

Koshia was born in an oasis village known as Jabaij sometime in the 1500s. This town has been inhabited by unusuals for centuries, and Koshia is afraid that if humans assume control of the desert, the Extraordinary Individuals will raid the many towns that exist within it and exterminate the unusuals who inhabit them. Because of this, he has put forth his best efforts in defending the desert for centuries.

Located nearby the town of Jabaij is the portal to The Spirit Realm. Koshia is aware the spirits are actively aiding humans in locating and destroying unusuals, and it's due to this that Koshia, along with a group of powerful desert demons, are guarding this portal, preventing the spirits from entering and exiting their own realm. Those who attempt to enter or exit the portal are met with unsurmountable sandstorms and violent dust devils.

Koshia is the leader of a tribe of unusuals known as *The Desert Dwellers*, of which two powerful demons, Sakyu and Suna are co-leaders. The tribe resides in Jabaij, and is in charge of guarding the portal to The Spirit Realm.

## Fighting Style

Koshia has magical abilities that allow him to manipulate the sands to his will, allowing him to create dust devils, sand storms, quicksand, and move the sands rapidly around to throw his opponents off balance and drown them. When he is not using his magic, he opts to fight with a *Gladius*. His blade is so sharp, it's been noted that it can cut through steel.

He moves quickly around the sand, almost as if it were solid underneath him, and can also climb walls and hills with relative ease. This allows him to get around super effectively in his environment, however, he is significantly weaker when outside the desert, as he is not used to foreign environments.

Koshia has 4 cores, one in his neck, one in his torso, and one in each arm.

## Location

Koshia is located in Jabaij Town in The Vernati Desert. He resides here, tasked with guarding the portal to The Spirit Realm. When he is not doing this, he leaves the task in the hands of Sakyu and Suna, and patrols other regions of Minerva. He has a home in City W that he resides in from time to time.

## Quotes

"If it is the desert you wish to take, I will not allow it. I, along with millions of unusuals take refuge here, and I will do everything in my power to protect it."

"Suna, go get Sakyu, there's trouble nearby..."

"If I were to be killed, can I trust you two to carry on my duties, even if it meant putting your lives at risk for the sake of the desert?"
