## Abilities and Powers

As a veteran of the Heisei Rebellion, the amount of strategies and techniques Takami has seen and fought against is far and wide. He is feared by the eastern reaches of the world as **Onigari** **Mukuro**. His countenance made those he crossed frozen with fear. People described him as a nothing more than a corpse, a samurai who had already died a long time ago but continued to fight even in death. For every person he cut down, he felt more alive. He has killed many demons who were both vastly stronger than him and had more abilities than he did on numerous occasions. Though the system of power is used to measure the potential of danger that one person can be towards the world as a whole, he has defied it time and time again with his natural mastery of the sword. He is not above using other weapons and any environmental object that could prove advantageous. While sword fighting, he is quite acrobatic, leaping all over the place while mixing in punches and kicks with the techniques of his school.

A shortcoming of his happens to be his blatant disregard for his own well-being when in combat. Even in moments of pure rage which activates his latent power, he is prone to getting carried away which ultimately leads him to being exposed to injures that could be fatal despite his ability to regenerate. He prefers to avoid wasting time on pointless battles and skirmishes and may even outright avoid them altogether. While locking horns with an enemy, he will rely on brains over brawn most of the time and manipulate the situation to gain the victory. He has broken through Athrum infused blades with just a normal strike and has harnessed his ki to be powerful enough to overwhelm others with minimal movement and maximum efficiency.

### Equipment

#### Tenjukame no Tsurugi

This is a seven branched sword that was passed down from Takamimusubi and the Mikoto Clan. It has appeared numerous times throughout history, wielded by those with a strong enough will to slay the demons that plague the world. The person who wields this sword can command the heavens themselves, being immune to any forces that would damage or cause a breach of the natural order. In it's sealed form, it takes the appearance of a chokuto or straight sword. While unsealed, it has a green glow, radiating the pure energy of the universe.

### Innate Abilities

* **Halfling Physiology**: As a demon halfling, Takami has all of the qualities that would be expected of them such as superb physical capabilties and supernatural blood that allows them to infect humans and resist demon blood to a greater extent.
	+ **Enhanced Smell**: As a dragon-serpent hybrid, he has a keen sense of smell.
	+ **Demonic Transformation**: When he is pushed too far or is exposed to too much demon blood, he succumbs to demon madness. While in this state, all of his capabilities increase dramatically, allowing him to fight against beings that are stronger than him without immediately keeling over.
	+ **Multiple Selves (Type 1)**: After years of killing demons and people during the Heisei Rebellion, he developed a bloodlusted persona by the name of Mukuro. This change can occur when certain circumstances arise that force him to resort to his old ways.
* **Seithr Manipulation**: He can control eir or it's truest form, seithr. This is described as a sentient, quinessential force that binds all things living or dead, commanding a power that is commonly interpretated as psionic. It is the foundation of every person and is brought to life by becoming an awakener or a maledictus. Takami is a maledictus.
* **Master Swordsmanship**: As a disciple of the Manten School, he has learned from the most skilled individuals in the world of martial arts such as Takamimusubi and Izanagi. As a successor to both of them, he is very proficient in sword fighting, being able to dispatch greater or lesser foes with strategic wit or battle intuition. He has been shown numerous times to be able to even generate compressed razor winds with a swing of his sword.
	+ **Master Hand to Hand Combatant**: He is also considered a formidable fighter when it comes down to hand to hand combat. Having learned how to apply the techniques of his school even while in an unarmed state. He can even manipulate the pressure points on the body to inflict life-threatening damage.
	+ **Acrobatics**: He is incredibly gifted at using parkour in and out of combat. While using his own version of the Manten School techniques, he mixes in spins, kicks and flips to add more flair to his movements. He can also navigate rooftops by leaping great distances, climb buildings with minimal effort and make use of environmental things to get around easier.
* **Ki Manipulation**: As an individual who practices Ars Manus, he is well-acquainted with the internal energy system called Ki. He is even strong enough to manifest an aura of might, which is quite uncommon in the Ayn Sof Universe. He has an Indigo Aura, which allows him to manipulate the abilities of Red and Blue simultaneously.
	+ **Limited Illusion Creation**: He can generate illusions by using the technique called Senbu or by manipulating the properties of Wind, the one element he seems to have a grasp on.
	+ **Physical Augmentation**: By manipulating the energy produced by the red aura, he can increase his physical capabilities, such as speed, durability, reaction time and strength to massive levels at the cost of consuming more stamina.
	+ **Bodily Attribute Augmentation**: He can increase the level of not only physical but mental capabilities as well. This is done through the manipulation of red aura energy.
	+ **Optimal Finesse**: He can make the most of the techniques at his disposal, always using the skills in his arsenal at their highest level without the need to accumulate power gradually or by achieving traditional prerequisites. This allows him to fight while dealing the most damage he can without the need for preparing his moves.
	+ **Biological Manipulation**: By manipulating red aura, he can change parts of both others and his own biological composition to suit his current needs. This was used to hide his horns and other protrusions by making himself appear more human.
	+ **Astral Projection**: As a result of being able to manipulate the Indigo aura type, he can enter an astral state and take the form of a spirit or separate a portion of his life force from his body to create a spiritual duplicate that can reach places he normally cannot or to fight alongside him.
	+ **Intuitive Aptitude**: With his Indigo aura, he is able to learn the fundamentals as well as the complexities of certain subjects, techniques or objects within a short amount of time. This allows him to enter any field of expertise and complete the task with ease.
	+ **Causality Perception**: With his Blue aura type he can understand all forms of cause and effect relationships, allowing him to effectively see all possible outcomes to a scenario and deduce the correct course of action.
	+ **Hypercognition**: He is capable of making light work of incredibly complex scenarios and finding the best alternatives to solve the issues presented. He can do this in an incredibly short unit of time and this can even be applied in battle since he is able to slice up rain drops and react to enemies who move faster than light.

### Ars Magna

* **Primary Magick**: As with all awakeners or maledictus, Takami can manipulate all of the elements that are available to him as a person with a natural affinity for Aero.
	+ **Wind Magic**: At 100% Aptitude.
	+ **Earth Magic**: At 80% Aptitude.
	+ **Light Magic**: At 80% Aptitude.
	+ **Fire Magic**: At 60% Aptitude.
	+ **Water Magic**: At 40% Aptitude.

* **Teritary Magick**: He can use multiple teritary magick arts that can give him the much needed edge in any battle or encounter by debilitating his enemies or augmenting himself.
	+ **Spira**: Allows Takami to create an elemental cloak that enhances all of his physical capabilities.
	+ Augeo: Allows Takami to enhance his physical capabilities by drawing on the element of earth or fire. It is a versatile ability that massively increases offense and defense.

### Ars Manus

* **Senpo**: He can dash over long distances in a very short window of time by kicking off the ground or air in the blink of an eye, essentially creating a form of pseudo-teleportation.
* **Senkō**: He can make use of shock absorption from each step while utilizing the dash technique, effectively storing the kinetic energy until the moment he strikes an enemy.
* **Senbu**: While opponents are glaring at his aura, he can cause them to hallucinate, ruining their sense of direction and time, allowing him to not only dash and cut their meridians but to get in close and get away before they recognize what has happened.

### Anathematic Art

**Shin'i Kaihen - Ekibyōten** *(神威改変: 疫病天, "Kamui Modification: Deva of Infectious Plagues.")*: A power gifted by the Cardinal Gods that allows Takami to control the concept of pestilence. This ability has a wide variety of applications but the most common use for it is the replication of the magic formula of another person after making physical contact with them. By doing this, he can essentially switch his own blood code allowing him to transform from an Aeromancer to an Umbramancer or any other elemental affinity. He cannot copy the formula of a person who has a higher concentration than his own without risk as it puts excessive amounts of stress and strain on his body to the point that it could even kill him.

### Exousia

**Naimen Kyoiki: Hizō Senken Kanjizai** (内面居域: 秘蔵千剣観自在, *"Inner Boundary: Treasured Thousand Swords of the Supreme Bodhisattva."*) is the name of Takami's Exousia. With this ability, he can create a bodhisattva that is invisible to the eye, carrying a thousand blades that are imbued with his power of pestilence. For each swing he does, a thousand consecutive blades follow suit. It is the same as being able to strike 1,000 times in a single instance, even dodging or blocking would leave someone to the full brunt of the attack.

### Fighting Style

**Manten Zetsuin-ryū** (万天絶印流, *"Myriad Heaven Termination Sealing Style"*) is Takami's sword style. Like Gan-Zhi, it is divided between Yin Style and Yang Style.
