Fraud Devil

**The Fraud Devil** (詐欺の悪魔 *Sagi No akuma*) is a devil that embodies the fear of fraudulence. He is currently taking the form and identity of former devil hunter, Yunagi.

## Appearance:

Due to the nature of the Fraud Devil, it's appearance is constantly changing, and it rarely, if ever adopts it's true form, it's appearance is entirely based on others. However, it has adopted it's true form on incredibly brief occasions, which is a towering, monstrous entity with multiple heads and multiple arms, each one varying in it's appearance. It's legs are a multitude of long tendrils branching off into the ground, resembling tree roots.

It's primary form is of the human, Yunagi, who is a tall, teenage boy with wide, brown eyes, and long, brown hair in a vague bowl-cut shape. He wears his Public Safety Devil Hunter uniform unbuttoned, exposing a white t-shirt worn underneath.

## Personality:

The Fraud Devil is completely and utterly fascinated with the concept of identity, and is particularly interested on what makes a person's identity. As a way of understanding this, he will often take the appearance of humans and devils alike, to discover what makes them who they are. The Fraud Devil will only impersonate those who interest him and will completely ignore anyone he doesn't deem interesting, and if he deems them especially boring, he will kill them on the spot. However, he rarely resorts to this, as according to him "hardly ever meets anyone who isn't interesting". When impersonating human form, he will often exhibit odd behavior such as eating things that aren't meant to be eaten, and using words in the wrong context. This is largely because he doesn't fully understand human behavior, but of course, he longs to do so.

According to him, Yunagi, the appearance that The Fraud Devil primarily uses, was the most interesting person he ever met. Apparently, Yunagi had an incredibly complex character, he was both the epitome of human kindness, but also had an incredibly dark, and ruthless side to him, like that of a true devil. Yunagi supposedly had various other complex traits, but they remain unknown. Due to Yunagi being his base form, he has retained all of the traits and personality of Yunagi when he was alive, and shows great compassion, cheerfulness, and kindness towards his allies, and inhuman ruthlessness towards his enemies. When impersonating someone, The Fraud Devil is able to replicate every aspect of their traits and personality perfectly, to the point of him occasionally forgetting his own identity, which occasionally happens in his base form. It is theorized that the reason The Fraud Devil is so interested in identity, is because he has no real identity of his own.

## Plot:

Sometime billions of years ago, The Fraud Devil emerged and began impersonating some of the key figures in history, such as kings, queens, scientists, and even other devils. Because of this, many of the key historical events occurred because of the Fraud Devil's actions.

Fast-forward to the modern day, The Fraud Devil is still causing chaos by impersonating others, and he ends up meeting the devil hunter, Yunagi, who he instantly becomes fascinated with. After observing him for a prolonged period of time, The Fraud Devil begins impersonating him and infiltrates his life. Yunagi finds out that the Fraud Devil has been impersonating him and confronts him. After the two of them have a conversation, they form a contract, allowing them both to co-exist. Unfortunately, Yunagi is killed, and The Fraud Devil is of course, devastated, and takes up his identity for good, as a way of honoring his memory. Due to his contract with the Ghost Devil, it's entirely possible that Yunagi is technically still alive, living as a ghost, unable to be seen or heard by anyone.

the Fraud Devil takes up Yunagi's career as a devil hunter, using his shapeshifting abilities to learn more about the devil/fiend community, and or any other individuals of interest to him.

## Abilities:

As a Devil, the Fraud Devil possesses all of the standard Devil Abilities, such as the ability to make contracts with humans for a price and take over a dead human body and their consciousness, becoming a fiend. He can only create contracts associated with his abilities, and cannot make contracts whilst he is copying the form of someone else.

### Devil Powers:

**Shapeshifting:** the Fraud Devil's primary ability is to take on the appearance of anyone, human and devil alike. As well as being able to perfectly replicate their appearance, he can also replicate their personality, habits, mannerisms, and behavior traits, essentially becoming a completely flawless reproduction of the original person. Whilst taking the form of someone else, the Fraud Devil is capable of acting of their own free will and making their own decisions, but the personality and traits of the original person still remains. Theoretically, the Fraud Devil could take the form of any kind of human or devil but unfortunately, this ability does have it's limits. the Fraud Devil can only replicate the appearance of an individual that interests him, the more interested he is, the more convincing and powerful his transformation will be, and if he has no interest in someone at all, he won't be able to take on their appearance.

**Power Mimicry:** As well as replicating their appearances, the Fraud Devil can also copy the abilities, and skills of the person he is replicating. In some instances, the Fraud Devil is able to utilize their powers with more effectiveness than the original owner, however a more accurate way of putting it is that the Fraud Devil is capable of using their abilities to the extent that the original owner would be able to with sufficient time or training. The Fraud Devil can only utilize their abilities whilst in their form, and cannot utilize any other set of powers that are not exclusive to the individual he's replicating.

### As Yunagi:

**Human Form:** . The Fraud Devil is capable of taking human form without becoming a fiend, allowing him to retain his full power and capabilities. As Yunagi, The Fraud Devil has the following abilities:

**Ghost Devil Contract:** While he was alive, Yunagi had a contract with the Ghost Devil, enabling him to utilize their abilities, but for the price of never being able to pass over to the afterlife.

**Telekinesis:** By making certain hand signs, Yunagi was able levitate objects and or people, enabling him to move them telekinetically. The Fraud Devil is capable of utilizing with more effectiveness than Yunagi did whilst he was alive, and is able to lift vastly larger objects and use it's power more precisely.

**Sound Devil Contract:** Yunagi also had a contract with the Sound Devil, for the price of him gradually losing his hearing over time.

**Shockwave Generation and Sound Amplification:** Yunagi was able to amplify the sound of something, making it loud enough to generate a huge, devastating shockwave. This ability was commonly used by clapping his hand together. This ability could only be used once every few hours due to it's devastating power.
