Cursed flesh: Demon Sword (FINISHED)

((Behemoth sent me a blank copy of his magic app with explanations on what to fill out over AOL. Have fun reading!))

The Demon Sword was created at a perilous time after Demons infested the human world and tempted the humans into taking power from them, where the demons betrayed the humans and stole their souls and stealing their strength. With the humans life force, essential essence and strength, the Demons placed all their essence, souls and spiritual power into a single katana, morphing both the blade and the hilt into something symbiotic in nature and organic flesh-like in appearance. This unholy weapon was then entrusted to the strongest and most spiritually pure of mankind, a warrior who would be the start of the Harada Lineage bloodline of exceed. With the Demon Sword, the Cursed Lineage of warriors became corrupt on throughout the family, and the first Cursed bloodline and his descendants the demon samurai, were banished to the outworld. As time went on, the Demon Sword was passed down through the generations of Cursed Samurai, each first born son of the cursed bloodline each losing themselves to madness and essentially killing themselves, allowing the sword to devour their souls, all the way to the cave where a sole warrior killed himself with no heir to the blade or the cursed blood, leaving the blade to sink down into the earth within that cave until an unexpecting ronin came across its path. That Ronin was Zero, the new heir to the cursed bloodline and the demon sword. His life-span is greatly increased compared to that of the past wielders, perhaps the blade itself is sustained by Zero's repressed negative emotions, which in turn, prolongs his life by returning demonic energy.

Upon lifting the demon sword from the boney grip of the last Cursed Samurai, the blade would merge itself with Zero causing a painful fusion where the blade itself, fusing, merging, grabbing ahold of Zero on a genetic level and splicing him and it together at the cost of his soul. After seeing a terrible visage of tortured souls and hell itself in the demons well, his vision would abandon him and essentially make his eyes useless by all means. It would have also enhanced several already enhanced aspects of his exceed body, enabling him to transform into something…else, something supernatural.

Zero after being merged gained the supernatural ability to transform into his larger state at will or threat. Originally, he would automatically transform in the presence of evil. Recently, however, he has gained control over his transformations and can transform through an act requiring the chemical epinephrine to flow through his veins, or when innocent blood is spilled. The power of the “Demon Swordsman”, is controlled and manipulated by the “Voices” in his head gain control over Zero. Zero and the “Voices” inhabit the same body, and while transformed Zero is in control for the majority of the time, but if he losses focus or control of the power of the “Demon-blood” the voices regaining control is likely to occur. While the “Voice” is in control, Zero only influences it's decisions to an extent as he takes the "back seat" to the spirit as described).

The process by which Zero usually transforms into the demon is presumably the result of the chemical catalyst, adrenaline (a.k.a. epinephrine), or the magical aspect of being in the dark or simply when innocent blood is spilt. As in normal human beings or exceeds, Zero’s adrenal medulla secretes large amounts of adrenaline in time of fear, rage, when in the dark, when innocent blood is spilt, or stress. The total time of transformation falls anywhere between seconds to five minutes, depending on the initial adrenaline surge, which will be determined by the original stimulus. Soon after the transformation, the amount of adrenaline in Zero will return to more normal, reduced levels. However, there have been instances in which Zero became “The Demon Swordsman” without any discernible increase in heart rate or adrenal levels, suggesting that the true trigger mechanism into the Hulk is far more Magical than physical. When “The Demon swordsman” transforms back into Zero, the excess muscle, bone, bodily tissues and energy is lost, presumably to the same place he derives it. As Zero’s transformation is mostly a stress reaction, it is almost virtually impossible to attack or sedate him in his human form without “The Demon” erupting almost instantaneously in self-defense


The transformation of which he becomes “the demon swordsman” is extremely painful, as the pain would be so immense, Zero couldn't move, the fact of the matter is, his heart would begin to accelerate its BPS to the point where each beat would become more and more painful to the point of his head throbbing from the shift. No amount of medicine would keep the pain from the rest of the body during transformation. It appears in great detail, and it's often depicted as being painful. Bones forcibly elongate and change their shape, sometimes moving so drastically that they rupture Zero’s pelt as it turns into skin. From beginning to end, the transformation can take several minutes, and the end result is a creature who is part demon-humanoid and exceed, in varying proportions. These transformations can range from absurd to grotesque to truly convincing.


After being transformed, it will be noticed that Zero’s body is much taller and human-like than an exceed. As he would be standing at 5’11” with long legs and longer hair, his fur would have decreased to the point of it being simple blue peach fuzz on his face and body. What once was a small blue Exceed with a white underbelly, transforms into a 5'11" humanoid with a single enormous black wing. As a human, he would retain his pink ears, and his “blindness” leaving him with pale blue eyes, his whiskers would’ve transformed into an actual mandarin moustache rather than being styled that way. Zero’s human face resembles that combination of a human and a lion, skull is very similar to that of the tiger, although the frontal region is usually more depressed and flattened, with a slightly shorter postorbital region. It is easy to tell the difference between zero’s “Lion” face and that of a tiger, as Zero’s skull has broader nasal openings than a tiger, however, due to the amount of skull variation in the two species, usually, only the structure of the lower jaw can be used as a reliable indicator of species. His human/lion nose and his jaw is much more prominent if anything else on his head, other than his kitten ears.


Zero's Exceed body as its original rectangular shape would’ve changed its skeleton to a human’s shape Zero's body after the transformation changed to the point of him no longer resembling an exceed, in fact, he isn't an exceed at all any more. As his biology changes after morphing from an exceed he would become aerial-adapted, his bones would hollow like a birds, making him weigh far less than usual compared to a n adult male of his height and athletic build. His body would become virtually devoid of fat and develop greater proportionate muscle mass than an ordinary human does, making him much taller and lean in muscle and bone structure, his legs would extend; his feet would become much more angular forcing him to stand on his tippy toes like the hind legs of a lion. His ribcage and shoulder blades would morph into that of a human’s as well, he would possess broad shoulders. Zero’s foot structure would force him to hunch over and occasionally cause him to occasionally walk on all three limbs. Zero’s only unchanged feature would be his wing size and his lack of a thumb, yet he still somehow is able to carry things.... Like his spine, his tail would have extended and became more prehensile, additionally; Zero is able to use his tail to hold onto objects.. His respiratory system would develop a special membrane enabling him to extract oxygen from the air at high velocities or altitudes. As you can guess, he can also revert to his exceed form

After transforming, zero’s missing left arm would morph into a powerful sword made of condensed organic steel, beastly in appearance and devastating in power.

Strengths:

• Steel arm(Must have the first D-rank spell active): His left arm is an enormous blade which is made of enchanted organic steel which he can generate in his “Combat form” at will.
  
• Aerial Resistance(Passive): Wind spells are 10% less effective on Zero when on Par with his rank. If the spell is of higher rank, it effects him as if the 10% resistance never existed.
  
• Aerial Advantage(passive): While under the effects of an aerial spell (wind spell) he has a 10% chance to use the spell against his foes, whether it be using it to glide, or another assortment of possibilities.
  
• Death from above(Must have the first D-rank spell active): If zero “Reigns down from above” (a higher point than ground level) he can increase the fundamental force, there is a 10% chance that he can cut through non-enchanted armors of higher density than steel. 25lbs psf
  
• Head-on Combat(passive): Zero is always forced to fight someone head-on. He is inable to preform ranged attacks, and must use close quarters and mid-ranged attacks.
  

Weaknesses:

• Hollow skeleton (passive weakness): His bones are more susceptable to breaking. Blunt attacks are 20% more effective on him anywhere else than his steel arm.
  
• Missing a wing(passive weakness): Being that Zero was “hatched” a little too early, his left wing and arm were amputated at birth due to how they were deformed.
  
• Missing an Arm(While the First D-rank spell is inactive): His left arm was amputated at birth because of how it was deformed and withered.
  
• Water: While wet, his body will weigh more than it would when dry, an additional 50 pounds of water will be added onto his body while wet.
  
• Elements: Particular elements such as Storms (not wind), fire, water, and lightning/electricity are 20% more effective on Zero.
  

Abilities/Powers:

• Echolocation (radar sense, passive): Zero has an echolocation via low wave projection, according to one theory, a energy within certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The signal emanates from sending regions of his brain, after which it travels outward, bounces off objects around him, and returns to receiving regions of his brain. In any event, with this ability, Zero  synthesizes a very close analogue of three-dimensional 360% human sight within a 10 meter radius.
  
• Enhanced Hearing(passive): As you can assume, his blindness gave him enhanced hearing to much greater levels than that of an ordinary human. Zero's sense of hearing enables him to detect an acoustic pressure change of one decibel at a pressure level of seven decibels (whereas the lowest threshold for average human hearing is twenty decibels.) He can hear a person's heartbeat at a distance of over twenty feet, or people whispering on the other side of a standard soundproofed wall. Through practice, Zero is able to control his hearing acuity, mentally blocking out specific sounds like his own breathing and heartbeat, all ambient sounds to a normal human level of perception, or all sounds but a particular sound he is concentrating upon. (Please note, his sense of taste hasn't changed, neither has his sense of touch or smell, the limit of the enhanced hearing stops at)
  
• Enhanced agility(Must have the first D-rank spell active) : Zero is much more agile and flexible than an ordinary human. His skeleton and bones permit him to preform acrobatic feats comparable to the finest human gymnasts. (He's very flexible). His agility is no greater than a dragon-slayer.
  
• Enhanced speed(Must have the first D-rank spell active) : Zero can run at speeds up to 48 kilometers per hour (30 miles per hour) or higher, and has on occasion run a mile (1.6 km) in 73 seconds (49 mph/78 kph) when under great physical strain, but no faster. This is due to his unique skeletal structure and how light he is. His speed is no greater than a Dragon-slayer (Dragon-slayers go on par with superhuman, whereas this is simply peak human).
  
• High/low air pressure resistance(Must have the first D-rank spell active) : His body is adapted so he can survive at high altitudes/air pressures of up to 10000 feet with absolutely no trouble breathing, enabling him to remain conscious at such heights. This also makes him resistant to wind friction; this is accompanied by an innate immunity to the vertigo and/or fear of heights. Air-magic equal to his current rank is less effective compared to other elemental magics, giving him a 10% resistance.
  
• Gliding(Passive): Like an owl, Zero possesses a low level gliding ability that allows him to travel, unaided, through the air for short periods of time before he begins to lose altitude (he can remain airborne for up to five minutes before being forced to land). He must leap from at least a height of at least 20 feet and cannot simply float into the air from the ground.
  
• Enchanted Blade Arm (Must have the first D-rank spell active) : Zero’s “Blade” arm is far more dense than ordinary steel, as it has been enchanted by hundreds of tortured souls. His left arm is 10% more durable than ordinary steel.
  
• Meditation (Passive OOC (out of combat)): While zero is out of combat he can enter a state of meditation where his mind basically puts itself at ease, and his body focuses on healing. While out of combat, Zero regenerates health 30% faster than the average human male.
  
• Immortality: The swords merge with Zero has granted him a form of immortality, as he has remained the same age for a thousand years. Though this is more of eternal youth than actual immortality, because if it was immortality he would be able to heal from fatal wounds, whereas Zero can only recover from superficial wounds such as a normal person.
  

D rank spells:

As lovely and detailed thta this all is...iam going to have to ask you to cut down gravely on all the passive abilities you have.

Currently at a D rank this would be you first aquiring the sword; so let's remove a bunch of the advanced abilities.

Let's even remove the blindness from the weaknesses as you have not yet had enough time to truely be "Consumed" by this sword; does that sound like an okay idea?

Done.
