## Profile

### Identity

Berserker's true identity is **Terumi** (テルミ), also known by full name Yūki Terumi, is the entity that formerly inhabited the body of Hazama. He is said to have been one of the Six Heroes that defeated the Black Beast in the Dark War. Incidentally, he also created the Azure Grimoire, which is what caused the Black Beast's appearance.

During the first appearance of the Black Beast, he ended up losing his flesh and was forced to seek refuge in the body of a new vessel. Kazuma Kval was created to be his new host by Relius Clover and Terumi proceeded to use Self-Observation to maintain his existence in the world long enough to convince Kazuma to willingly become his vessel. He would ultimately end up restrained and imprisoned in the Alucard Manor by Valkenhayn R. Hellsing and Clavis Alucard until the latter eventually passed away. Following this, Nine of the Ten Sages arrived at his prison and decided to put him to use by employing Mind Eater to make him her slave. He would also arrange the death of Nine's sister, Celica, and burn the church where she was housing the young Ragna, Jin, and Saya to take Saya for himself.

With his cunning and ability to manipulate people, Terumi pulls the strings from behind the curtains, aiding in the establishment of both the NOL and Sector Seven. Furthermore, he kills or nullifies half of the Six Heroes with his own hands including Nine whom he personally used her own Mind Eater spell on. He was later sealed away by Jubei and Hakumen only to be employed years later by the Takamagahara system to enact Doomsday in an effort to reshape the world to its liking. Shortly after being released, he inhabited the body of a new vessel Relius had made for him known as "Hazama". He would later betray the Takamagahara by using Phantom, a mind controlled Nine, to administer a magical virus and put them out of commission. After, he forced Noel, who now had the Eyes of the Azure, to acknowledge his presence thus binding his existence into the realm as we know it and allowing him to completely revive.

After awakening Izanami, he carried out his assigned tasks alongside Relius up until Trinity forcibly separated him from Hazama utilizing Arma Reboare: Muchourin which allowed Hakumen to use Time Killer to seemingly permanently slay him by removing all of his 'time. Despite this, Terumi barely managed to survive by utilizing Self-Observation to save himself.

### Personality

Terumi is a being best described "absolute evil incarnate". He is an amoral, sadistic psychopath who lives for nothing more than causing suffering for others and experiencing the joy doing so gives him. Due to his nature as a god, he sees himself as superior to humans, viewing them like insects which he can “play” with for his own sick pleasure.

Despite this, Terumi can display a surprising willingness to cooperate with Relius or Hazama, if only because they fuel his interests, although behind that, even Relius isn't safe from Terumi's hatred because their end goals contradict each other's and their alliance will soon crumble sooner or later, and Terumi is prone to bossing Hazama around.

Although he gives the impression that he acts suddenly and without forethought, he actually is a master manipulator skilled at playing a long game to achieve his goals. He is effective at tricking and lying to people and has manipulated multiple organizations into playing a part in his schemes. However, he is prone to enraged tantrums and panics a lot when things don’t go his way.

Ultimately, Terumi desires nothing more than the destruction of everything the Master Unit has created and wishes to create a new world in his image, full of despair and suffering, intending to gain as much hatred and fear as possible to become stronger than the Black Beast.

## Abilities

In battle, Terumi wields the Arch-Enemy Event Weapon named Snake Pair: Ouroboros; a steel hook crafted in the shape of a snake that he summoned in front of him, attached to a chain of green/black energy, which he could use to attack opponents from afar, or reel them in, as well as zip around the battlefield quickly, if not instantly, and close gaps between him and his foes. On the other hand, he also uses Balisong-style butterfly knives for close-range attacks, along with having hidden knives that stick out of his shoes’ heels. Most of his attacks are similarly based on summoning green/black energy and serpentine apparitions to attack his foes, with the beginning of his Astral Heat being a barrage of snakes made of green energy.. Outside of his Magic Formula prowess, Terumi is incredibly nimble and flexible although his movements are more wild and vicious compared to the elegance shown off by Hazama.

His Overdrive is known as Nightmare Reaper (ナイトメアリーパー Naitomea Rīpā), which strengthens Terumi’s attacks and allows him to absorb the opponent’s energy akin to Ragna's Soul Eater.

Terumi’s Drive is Force Eater (フォースイーター Fōsu Ītā), a foil to Ragna the Bloodedge’s own Soul Eater Drive. Instead of absorbing life force, it instead allows Terumi to absorb Magical Energy enabling him to utilize his more powerful techniques far faster than others making his potential damage output outright devastating.

However as Celica Ayatsuki Mercury’s magic element-nullification shuts his Azure Grimoire down by merely being within his presence, He becomes almost crippled, and while he still retains the ability to fight, his power is nowhere near the level it normally is.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Mad Enhancement (- Rank): The trademark ability of the Berserker Class. As Terumi's natural state of being is a destroyer that wishes to lay waste to all he touches without rhyme or reason, this Skill ended up being sealed.
* Avenger (A Rank): A Skill normally exclusive to Heroic Spirits belonging to the Avenger Class. Terumi is a being that thrives on the hatred of others in order to maintain his existence and power. As such, his malicious personality allows him to naturally accumulate the hatred and disgust of those around him to boost his parameters. The more that Yūki Terumi is hated, the stronger he becomes.
* Independent Action (A+ Rank): The denotation of one's ability to persist for a set period of time without a Master. Terumi's ability to 'Self-Observe' allows him to verify his own existence and remain tethered to the world of the living even without a Master.
* Item Construction (A+ Rank): As one who helped the great sage Nine with the creation of Ars Magus, his vast knowledge of the many forms of magic allows him to create several specialized magical tools to suit his needs given the proper time. Although, he finds it kind of a hassle.

#### Personal Skills

* Force Eater (A Rank): Terumi's Drive. A unique power that manifested from his twisted soul that bears a striking resemblance to Ragna the Bloodedge's own Drive, Soul Eater. When in effect, his attacks leech Magical Energy from his foes.
* Nightmare Reaper (A Rank): Terumi's Overdrive. Upon activation, his parameters dramatically increase for a short time as he leeches the life essence directly from his opponent akin to that of a parasite or Bloodsucker. As his hood tends to come off when it is active, it can be said this ability is only used when Terumi is getting serious.
* Battle Continuation (B+ Rank): A Skill recognizing one's ability to survive and endure even the direst of battles. Despite repeated attempts to slay him across several instances of the Continuum Shift, Terumi is notorious in his ability to survive near death experiences or discover ways of negating potential death altogether. Because outside circumstances and assistance from allies helped play into his survival in quite a few instances, this Skill is not as high as it could be.
* Mental Corruption (D Rank): The denotation of one with a distorted mentality. While Terumi's mental state is twisted beyond belief, he remains rather susceptible to mental interference such as the Mind Eater.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **God’s Return** - "*Serpent’s Beheading Violent Hunger Seal*"

Terumi binds his prey with two chains and summons dozens of Ouroboros snakes to barrage the opponent. He then transforms into a shadow of his true form, Susano'o, and forms a sword made of green energy to finish off the opponent with one mighty slash.
