Primary Magic: Wind Control Magic
Secondary Magic: Demonic Takeover
Magic Type: Elemental- Darkened Wind
Description: For Jiyu an old leather bound book and one of the greatest tragedies in her life is where every bit of this started. During her early life, this powerful mage actually had no true deep rooted interest in magic itself. While she enjoyed seeing it and considered maybe learning some, like most people? Kazehime did not even have an inkling of a desire to become an actual career mage, until the day she turned seven, and everything in her world changed. The young girl went from having the perfect life, to losing her mother to a house fire, obtaining an alcoholic father, new sibling and step mother, all as if overnight. One of the few possessions of her dearly departed Mother’s that survived the fire, was a small book that she had given to Jiyu when she sent the child to her father’s shop that day, to keep her safe. Upon finally opening this book, the child found the last words her mother could ever convey, splayed on the paper glued to the front cover. The book she had been left with was the deceased woman’s way of protecting her daughter in her absence, everything the older woman had ever learned of Wind Magic contained within the pages, all written down neatly so she could give it to her only child. Jiyu had one final connection to her Mother, she could and would learn the same magic her loved parent had once wielded. Yet life is rarely simple as reading a book.
Elemental magic is one of the hardest kinds to learn for any mage, much less learning to use if efficiently and take true mastery of it. With her father opposing the use of magic? It was a hard path to even begin learning, secret nights and times spent far away from everyone else as she struggled to make progress. Even if Jiyu was a natural match for the element she was trying to take control over, completing her task was nowhere near easy. Kazehime spent every possible second she could practicing her magic, until one late night she was caught by her father while doing so; Having no other choice but to give up the magic she’d grown so close to, the young girl ran away from home, so she could continue honing her craft. Secretly she kept the hope her father would one day change his mind alive, yet she knew that going back would never be an option. On that day, there was no other path for the girl besides for mastering her magic, becoming a true and powerful mage.
Over the next several years, there was almost nothing to get in the way of her attempts to master controlling the wind. Eventually she was convinced to join Black Rose and shortly after that Jiyu took command of her element admirably, rose up swiftly in the wizarding world. However she hit a speed bump when the Inugami Power that lay dormant inside of her body awoke and took her solid form away from her. Yet? She was able to be restored and upon accepting that she had at some point become a spirit of revenge she embraced the power that came from that and it crept toward she magic, corrupting parts of her wind magic.
Strengths:
❤ Wind mages are capable of many types of spells, from large area of effect attacks to defense for multiple people, healing several people at once, summoning wind spirits, they are granted a wide range of spells since their wielding a whole element.
❤ Due to the close, inseparable bond between the wind and it’s user? Many spells performed by these wizards are incredibly swiftly cast, hard to see and only predictable by their element so to speak. Casting a spell can be even as simple as breathing since the act of casting is simply speaking to the element in a way others can not understand.
Weaknesses:
❤ Wind Magic has a very specific weakness to fire magic as the wind fuels fire’s, thus it’s user’s endure 25% more damage from fire attacks.
❤ Since a wind mage relies on their element so heavily, binding their body and magic to it, being separated from it suddenly or for an extend period of time, can make them extremely weakened and even render them ill.
❤ Due to the close bond of user’s to the wind? Lowered air quality can be even more dangerous for these mages, if they are exposed to polluted air for an extended period it will weaken and eventually kill them.
❤ Wielding elemental magic requires one to in essence merge into one with their element, because of this support spells and healing spells of other elements are less effective on these mages by 25% since the mage's body will initially reject the spell, maybe even violently.
❤ Inside constricted spaces like buildings and caves wind mages are very restricted in what they can do because of the explosive nature of a large deal of this magic. Using the wrong spell? Could send the whole place crashing down on the user.
❤ It’s been mentioned how the wind has trouble recognizing those who do not utilize it. Due to this? Wind mages must be in physical contact with their target to perform any healing or support spell
❤ Clearly since wind user’s have to be in contact with those they heal and support, these mages must remain still until the spell is over, otherwise, it won’t work or worse yet the wind may try to damage them instead.

Lineage: Inugami
- Spoiler:
- Name: Inugami
Wielder: Jiyu Kazehime
Description: There is a lot Jiyu does not know about her own existence and worse yet is unaware of most of her own ignorance. Everything about her bloodline is actually shrouded in mystery to the Inu Youkai, since she never had anyone to teach her about the demon half of her blood. The essence of life, called blood? Is exactly where the whole story that lead’s up to Jiyu starts.
Once, when demons, devils, dragons and other fantastic great feared beast’s were the main populations of earth land, the world was at their feet. If you compared today’s ace predators to those ancient being’s? They would become prey for the monster’s those animals were! However as the rise of human’s began, the number of these mythical beings started to thin, from both being hunted by humans and breeding with them to produce impure offspring. Eventually, it reached a point where the successful creatures were no more than a few strong yet isolated remaining populations and the blood that was left within special members of the human population. Thus slowly most humans began to forget about those powerful beasts in every facet expect their nightmares! No longer considered them to be dangerous or sometimes even real. For the longest time, that was the fate of inhuman creatures, of the blood Jiyu would one day carry, just to simply be forgotten as nothing more than a child’s nightmares.
Parent passes on certain genes to their children, and certain ones are more dominant than others. Demon blood and thus it’s carried traits? Always proves stronger than mere human blood. Eventually, instances of two humans who carried dormant or extremely diluted demon blood, having children, started to occur. The children born from these unions were often considered unholy, cursed or blessed individuals, due to abilities given to them by their unknown demon blood, as physical demon traits don’t manifest until at least 1/4th demon blood is achieved in a person. For various reasons, people started to get the idea of breeding these special children together when they became old enough. However that could never go well, the offspring produced had enough demon blood to manifest demonic traits like horns, tails, elfin ears, animal ears, spines or such! Upon this coming to light, there became a short witch hunt for these special individuals, the fear possessed before returning full force. In populations who had no solid understanding of biological and genetics, besides for their own guessing? The children’s abilities and features were not from breeding, but rather a possession by youkai.
Now let’s get to the family that would eventually birth Jiyu, they started in this period. However, until other’s, the family breeding them was rich and able to hide their new demonic offspring. Eventually, a mage within that bloodline noticed the traits their family members were manifesting most times, coincided with candid demons. Upon this realization and a little bit of guess work experiments, the family made a decision, to try and make their blood line a powerful demon one by enforcing a strict set of rules. These rules were crude and also encouraged inbreeding, honor killings and other undesirable things, but eventually, they started getting what they wanted
The Kazehime Family became one that possessed many purebred Inu Youkai.
Years later, once there were almost no impure demons in their blood line, a particularly strong set of siblings were born within the family. Their names were Akane and Hajime, a brother and sister, a blessing in the family's eyes! Both siblings’s possessed dentition matching, having the full 42 teeth a canine could have, and in the same pattern wolves or dogs should have them. They walked on their toe’s like dog’s, the siblings communicated with scent, vocals and visuals better than anyone else in the family, both lithe bodies with bushy tails and very sharp elfin ears. Akane and Hajime were the truest dog demon’s the family had ever produced, their demon blood was the most potent ever seen in the Kazehime’s! Leading to them also being the most powerful within the family by the time they came of age to have children. However, the family hit a hitch in getting stronger when Akane ran away because she didn’t want to have a child with her brother.
That young teenage runaway? Would eventually end up in Peace Village where she was taken in and cared for, grew the rest of the way into a young woman. Akane fell in love with one of the village men, Ambrose, and with the feeling returned they entered into a relationship that resulted in pregnancy. Jiyu was born from this, and oddly she showed no signs of being a demon at birth! It wasn’t until she started growing, displayed keen senses and canine-like instincts alongside sharing red-green colorblindness with her mother, her parents noticed she was at least half demon, their little girl was simply dormant for some reason. The little girl lived her life, never knowing she was a half-demoness, until the age of seventeen when she consumed blood from a living being for the first time. Upon that consumption her demon blood woke up, transforming her into her half demon state, bringing up additional demonic abilities she had been unable to use priorly and changing some of the things she could already do.
But what happened shortly before she awoken her demon blood is also very important, because the events that transpired resulted in her being no normal inu demon when awoken, but an inugami. There is an old legend that says if you bury a dog up to its neck, unable to move anything but it’s head, place food and water just outside of reach, and then kill it by cutting off its head, you can then eventually place both head and body in a well-prepared shrine to evoke an Inugami. Jiyu’s experience was not quite as brutal, however, she spent two years held in captivity, in conditions that very closely simulated this. For two year’s she was blindfolded and tied up so she couldn’t escape, abused in multiple ways and by the time she was found by a guild-mate, she had nearly succumbed to hunger and thirst. The weird thing during and after this experience? Kazehime never seemed to be upset about it, the revenge most people seem to want after being wronged so, the uneasiness, terror, all she presented trauma-wise was new fear’s focused on related items and entities! Yet, she held all of the rage, actually, Jiyu held more than she had been holding, instead of being thrown about recklessly, it was carefully tucked away to one of the four different face’s an inugami can possess, considering their status as kami. The girl herself was unaware of its existence and her status as an Inugami, until recently
Non-Combat Abilities- Spoiler:
❤ Inugami’s Realm;; Made in the image of an inugami, Jiyu has access to a realm that lays shortly outside of the normal one, a place only she can access. This location? Is a home created by her power as an Inugami, most often taking the shape of a cabin deep inside a forest with a stream flowing beside it, surrounded by clear skies. Also called, Solace, this is Jiyu’s safe place, no one who she does not invite formally can enter and if she becomes frightened or feels threatened by someone for any reason they are ejected and not allowed back in until it’s resolved. She is skittish and prone to warping into this world against her own will when startled. Normally exiting this world is done in the exact same location she entered it in despite being able to exit any place she had priorly visited, as it’s less strenuous to just exit where she entered. This deactivates once in combat to keep the location safe, but if Jiyu is killed in combat her soul will retreat here and take the time it needs to restore instead of going to the sacred altar.
❤ Youkai, Demons and even Gods are known for carrying multiple faces, often changing their appearances via shapeshifting, thus Jiyu can alter her appearance, scent and voice in any way she wishes.
❤ Inugami are also known for possession, Jiyu can possess non player character’s to make a story interesting, and player character’s with OOC permission for a priorly agreed to plot. However in all cases this requires her soul to leave her body and thus makes her easier to kill as well.
❤ Inugami are known for making contracts with people, Jiyu is capable of this just as others of her species are. This ability can be used freely on non-player characters for story reasons, however in order to be used on a player character there must be OOC permission as the deal’s can result in Jiyu taking their soul from them or her body being taken if she refuses to punish those who broke the deal. As a powerful inugami Jiyu can also break contract’s others have made freely on non player character’s and with OOC permission when involving played characters.
❤ Since Inugami are considered Kami they have four different souls, thus Jiyu has four faces of sorts, the normal one, one that shows by blue markings appearing on her face, the next shows via lavender marks and the last shows via red marks. In her regular state the markings are black.
❤ Inugami Curse;; Since these creatures have an excess of bad energy, vengeful aura, leaking freely from them most of the time? Not using their magic often enough, can result in things like light’s breaking, mug’s exploding, sidewalks cracking and other bad things happening around them. This may occasionally be used to give Jiyu a lucky break like someone pursuing her tripping over a tree root, but it’s mostly just a thing that be used to make social’s more interesting by turning off the lights.
Combat Abilities:- Spoiler:
❤ Canine Senses ;; As an inu youkai, Jiyu shares her sensory abilities with canids like dogs and wolves. Due to this? She has a very superior sense of smell, can hear thing’s very acutely, is excellent at detecting any movement in her field of vision, see things pretty much just fine at night, has a slightly larger basic field of vision and the other advantages canines have over humans. However it is not all fun and games, besides for her senses risking overload from numerous sources? Jiyu shares a dog’s disadvantages as well, to start things off she is Red-Green colorblind this is accompanied by a narrowed binocular vision field and a lesser ability to see at great lengths. Kazehime also possesses less taste buds than humans severely impacting the different flavors she can perceive. The only ability to not really be affected is touch, although her tail is sensitive and touching the place where it meets her spine can sometimes entirely subdue her.
❤ Sixth Sense;; Canine’s possess a sixth sense, the ability to detect magnetic fields emitted by the earth and to a certain degree other living beings. There are those who would consider this a useless sixth sense, but this ability allowed Jiyu to have an impeccable sense of direction and location, preventing any spells that would attempt to impede on her ability to move, or confuse her, alongside letting her track people with electricity in the same way another mage would use magic. However this is not without it’s drawbacks, normal stuns still work and any exposure to electrical magic at or beneath her rank, will cause this to go haywire, making her behavior drunken like and disoriented. If no fields are present for any reason Jiyu can still move, however this movement is very sloppy, disoriented and speed buffs can not be applied to her within areas that lack an electrical field. Lastly on a more domestic level, her sensitivity and reliance on the earth's field also causes her behavior to change drastically when storms are approaching her general area, or if anything affects the electrical fields around her to a significant extent.
❤ Inhuman Body;; Despite being exceptionally weak in body and being able to sustain damage from even something simple as a small fall? This does not negate the fact she is not anywhere near human and her body is that of a demon. Whether it’s due to a demon’s accelerated healing or something to do with her youkai’s aura? She takes 25% less damage from attacks.
❤ Inugami’s Birth;; Due to the way Jiyu became an inugami not following the normal ceremony exactly to the letter, the weakness in body she had accumulated over her two year imprisonment did not vanish when she transformed. As such? She had no melee damage and no weapon damage, regardless of whatever is done, she shall never have these things even if she hits a vital spot on someone. However her magic was affected by this change in her life state, resulting in her having 50% more magic damage.
❤ Vengeance Spirit;; Normally inugami are violent creatures who are born of their own rage. Jiyu is no different, despite not actually being killed to become one, she has the same wrath any other spirit of her kind possesses. Kazehime’s rage will unleash itself whenever combat begins dealing her rank in damage to everyone within 50 meters of her, and afterwards will visibly frighten people
Unique Abilities:
- Spoiler:
- Captive Fallout;; After spending two years fighting from within chain’s as a captive always blindfolded, Jiyu was rescued by Marschal. Due to this time her physical body, despite being a half demon’s is very weak, she can receive serious(d-rank melee damage) by simply falling down, the experience weakened her that much. Quickly? She found that being tied up ever again did not appeal to her, causing her to devote to training in order to prevent it ever happening again. The Result of this training? Was obtaining a 50% Magic Damage Boost. However, due to her heavy focus on magic, non-magic attacks do 50% more damage to her as she’s now far less effective at defending against them due to her body being so weakened.
Wind Contract;; When you fight using an element, control it and use it, well that sort of total control does not happen. The truth is? Jiyu’s magic comes from an agreement and understanding between herself and the wind. Whilst the exact details of this oath are unknown, it does grant Kazehime the ability perform what some would call levitation. Her contract with the wind allows her to ignore gravity, float all over the place and fly. However due to her weak body, she can not carry anyone else, the most weight she is capable of carrying is ten pounds so even most small animals are out of the question. Jiyu also can not float if her body is encased by another type of magic preventing the wind from touching her. She also can't float if took much of her skin is covered by clothing.
Wind Fusion;; Jiyu is capable of dissolving her body and anything nonliving on her person to merge with the wind at an atomic level. Within combat, she can merge with the wind to teleport up to user rank distance away from her current location once per post. Outside combat this is not limited. It should be noted that if she is subjected to magic canceling cuffs or surrounded by another element like her skin being wet or something, she can not use this.
Elemental Guidance;; The question of the century honestly. How can Jiyu possibly fight effectively! even if she can pinpoint individuals by scent and sound? The wind user still has a dog’s vision so aiming spells and such should be next to impossible, shouldn’t it?! Well, that is just the thing, Kazehime is not even momentarily relying on her own vision, instead, she is trusting the optics of the wind, letting it’s voice guide her movements and obeying it perfectly. Through using this ability Jiyu can effectively use her ranged attacks, but apart from that, the wind can also occasionally leak things like enemy positions or generally warn her of something minor. Outside of combat the range of the wind is not limited as it is the wind and touches the whole world. However within combat, it has a range of 75 meters at A-rank and 100 meter’s at S rank, it does not increase past S-rank.
Wind’s Aggression: It has been mentioned before that Jiyu’s power dislikes anyone besides the wind user herself. This possessiveness and the power her wind’s contain? Has increased as Jiyu has grown more powerful. Now her darkened winds are capable of violently lashing out at anything within user rank distance of her location, like an aura of sorts, only it’s the wind cutting and slicing people it deems a threat, for Jiyu’s rank in magic damage. This is only effect at the start of a fight, expect for the first post of a round of battle this is simply aesthetic. This ability also has a fluff side that serves no use in combat but outside of battle allows the wind to interact with the world around Jiyu and the wind user herself, anything from shoving someone who grabs her to lifting objects Jiyu herself is incapable of lifting for her.
