##### Bio

Wallace Faraday is a Division 1 Hunter notorious for his swordplay and powerful abilities. He is tasked with the purging and sealing of high-level spirits, but also does specialist work when necessary. For the past two years, Faraday has been the partner of Khan Ismail. As a pair, the two have been responsible for containing high-level spirits or outright purging them.

Aboard the S.S. Ivy, Faraday was born the son of an African worker and Remy Faraday. He spent his first week alive on the S.S. Ivy, which would go on to wreck in the pacific ocean. For 2 days, Faraday and his mother coasted aimlessly, until washing ashore in the land of the rising sun. The two would reach a village under the legendary Nakazawa Clan, and shortly after their arrival, Remy would perish. Faraday spent his youth in this village, where he learnt swordsmanship and spirit illusion. He learnt spirit illusion under tutelage of the legendary Daigo Nakamura, and learnt swordsmanship under Midori Nakamura. Around the age of 17, he and Midori would travel to America and stay with harbormaster Sean Daily. Around the age of 19, Midori would lose her life to an evil spirit and Faraday would join the HHS.

##### Techniques

**Basic Techniques**

* **Ether Conservation:** By streamlining his usage of Ether and only utilizing the excess he produces, Faraday is capable of conserving his Ether and prolonging fights

**Advanced Techniques**

* **Spirit Extension:** By extending the boundaries of his spirit, Faraday can contain himself and others in a barrier that allows him free reign to attack.
	+ **Counteractive Spirit Extension:** By narrowly extending the boundaries of his spirit, Faraday is capable of protecting himself from either another person's Spirit Extension or from weak physical attacks
	+ **Malformed Spirit Extension:** By purposely squishing his barrier, Faraday can creatively reshape it. Oftentimes he sacrifices the diameter of the barrier to increase its height, but he will also do the opposite as needed.
	+ **Enhanced Spirit Extension: Spirit Illusions:** By combining his ability Spirit Illusion with his Spirit Extension technique, Faraday creates a barrier, in which, his illusions are far more effective and his ability to deceive is increased tenfold
	+ **Full Spirit Extension: Nakazawa Clan Seal:** In his Full Spirit Extension, Faraday traps the target and collapses his barrier, sealing them for 75 years

###### Combined Techniques

**With Khan**

* **Reaper's Army:** Khan summons Ren and Sen as Faraday uses Spirit Illusion to create the effect of an army of wolves
* **Dracones Geminos:** Khan summons Ryouichi and Faraday uses Spirit Illusion to create the effect of another Ryouichi
	+ **Heavenly Dracones Geminos:** Using all of his power, Khan summons Ryouichi and Sepentinea, Faraday then uses Enhanced Spirit Extension and creates the effect of Serpentinea appearing to be another Ryouichi
* **Mortis De Ouroboros:** As a last resort, Serpentinea consumes the target and eats her own tail. Faraday then slices her in half using Tenebras and creates the effect of a weak seal

**With Raena**

* **Tenebras Amplifier:** By combining his spiritual control with Raena's Tenebras Manipulation, Faraday gains significantly more control over Tenebras

##### Relationships

* **Khan:** Khan has been Faraday's HHS partner for two years and the pair have grown rather close. They often travel together and where one goes, the other is never far behind. The pair work well together, even developing unique techniques when working together. Outside of HHS work, the two often spend time together and have even met one another's families.
* **Raena:** Raena is a friend of Faraday's. Not much is known about the two, but they are known to go on the occasional mission.
* **Sojan:** Sojan is the unofficial third partner of Faraday and Khan. He travels with them and at times goes on missions alongside them. Sojan was gifted a katana by Faraday and is mentored by him in the art of swordsmanship.
* **Dante:** Dante and Faraday act as rivals for one another and occasionally duel. The two will go on the rare mission here and there, but are mostly good colleagues.
* **Yuu/Nick:** Yuu and Faraday are good colleagues who have worked together in the past.
* **Todd Jr./Tupac:** In his first life, Todd Jr. acted as a renegade whom Faraday respected. In his second life, the two have yet to interact.
