Jules

Name: Jules

Age: Unknown (possibly over 30 trillion years)

Gender: male

Occupation: Mundus’s Disciple

Race: DPU

DPU Name: Unknown

## Overview:

Jules is a DPU encountered shortly after the Party’s arrival into the war-torn Lowee, first encountered by Nico/Crimson Soul atop the city housing the Lowee resistance. He is shortly revealed to be a Disciple of Mundus and seems to be working with fellow Disciple Kafka to aid Mundus in his plans.

## Appearance:

A male of similar physical age to Nico in his Crimson Soul form, with silvery white hair and sky blue eyes, his features resembling that of an otome game character. For clothes, he wears a black jacket similar in design to the first one's trench coat, with a white shirt underneath. The former is left open and the latter barely concealed the six to eight pack abs that the male possessed, showcasing intense training and experience. Whilst he has a black choker around his neck, around his waist is a silver coloured belt, holding in place a pair of black pants and dress shoes.

## Personality:

Brash, rude and very much like a delinquent, Jules behaves much too young for his actual age. He showcases to be someone with a short temper, similar to Blanc in and out of her CPU state, often expressing rude remarks to those he talks to except Mundus, who he shows considerable fear for. He also possesses a strong love for fighting accompanied by an immense bloodlust, which he believes to be true for all DPUs that he admits shortly after his first appearance.

## Weapons:

Scythe - For his main offensive weapon, Jules wields a Scythe that he usually seems to hold over his shoulder like a typical gangster. The Scythe itself had a very large, jagged blade, with a light-colored cutting edge and the rest of it being dark, which is mounted on a gnarled staff, curving lightly before the blade itself. Opposite to the blade, on top of the staff, is a decorative skull, seemingly an animal one. Outside of it being used as a close combat weapon, Jules seems to utilize it as a medium for his Hellwind manipulation, although he later shows that he does not need to do so.

## Abilities:

Hellwind Manipulation - Like how Nico manipulates his Hellfire, Jules possesses the ability to manipulate Hellwind, a demonic black and red wind which shows great offensive capabilities. Additionally, Jules is capable of shaping it into all sorts of different attacks which act on a large scale, capable of shredding through mountains with swift ease. Hellwind grants Jules high offensive power, allowing him to assault enemies in different ways: one prominent aspect being his ability to give his wind cutting properties, manifesting it in the form of fast-moving aerial blades which he employs at mid-to-long range, as well as cutlass-shaped blades he can use for close range. He can also generate powerful gusts of wind explosions to inflict blunt damage upon enemies and send them flying away from him and even form hurricanes of various scales, which, in addition to their rotational power, seem to retain his wind's signature sharpness.

To demonstrate his competency with wind, Jules has the following techniques with it:

* Flight: By manipulating  the wind currents around him, Jules can fly through the air even in his human form and without any extra appendages unlike Nico. Such ability can be used for a variety of purposes: he can fly around freely at high speed, cross long distances in short times, remain out of enemy's range and evade their blows, as well as reach otherwise unreachable places

* Wind Wall: Jules is capable of creating a gigantic tornado that surrounds a certain area in order to cut it off from the outside world. This will leave the surrounded area unscathed, and objects and people from the outside will be able to enter it freely; however, the ones from the inside are bound to be cut into pieces by the slicing winds composing the hurricane if they try to get out of it.
* Storm Bringer: Jules performs several gestures with his left hand's fingers, and then moves his open hand towards the target. A powerful tornado is generated from it, which spins and strikes the opponent, cutting them with wind blades, stunning them with its rotating motion and subsequently sending them flying away. Such a move can leave the foes open for Jules to attack with his scythe, in order to deliver a finishing blow.

* Storm Mail: One of Jules’ trump cards, he initiates this spell by crossing his hands before him. This prompts many air currents to gather around him, creating a hurricane surrounding his entire body. While clad in this "armor", Jules's destructive power is boosted, allowing him to go into melee to perform wind-enhanced blows capable of shattering rock. Predictably, his defense is also increased exponentially, with the currents moving around him being strong enough to repel enemies and prevent them from nearing him. In addition, due to Storm Mail blowing wind inside out, all the fire around Jules will be extinguished, meaning that fire-based attacks directed against him won't land.

* Storm Shredder: While Jules is clad in Storm Mail, he is capable of firing barrages of wind blades at his opponents.

* Emera Baram: Arguably one of his most destructive spells, Jules uses this skill to fire a large, concentrated blast of wind blades towards his enemies, slicing them up. While he performs Emera Baram, small leaves are shown floating around him.
* Storm Wall: Jules is capable of using his wind as a shield.

* Magic Wind Palm: Jules covers his hands in swirling currents of wind, claps them together and then moves them towards the target. This generates a large, powerful vortex which possesses enough strength to destroy the area it targets.

Storm Manipulation (DPU Form exclusive): Once Jules finally turns into his DPU Form, in addition to his abilities largely expanding in all areas of destructive potential his Hellwind Manipulation evolves into Storm Manipulation, which includes the manipulation of lightning, winds and even clouds for offensive/defensive purposes. Jules defines it as the ‘Manipulation of all natural phenomena’. In exchange however, this power can only be used in his DPU form similar to how the full power of Hellfire can only be utilized once Nico becomes Crimson Soul.
