Backstory:
Name: Kit Akiyama
Age: 16
Personality: Kit possesses a high level of intellect that is primarily seen in his quick wit, allowing him to strategize, predict, and adapt to all sorts of situations. This paired with his great agility makes up for his lack of raw strength in combat, enabling him to out maneuver opponents and use their strength against them. He is not one to attack unprovoked, but will relentlessly protect others.
Appearance: Kit stands at about 6’1 and weighs a muscular 175lbs. He has messy dark brown hair that falls just above his bushy eyebrows and deep purple eyes.
Marking (Optional): What appears to be black flames going up his left arm
Bird: A crowned eagle
Weapon: Before Demon Slayer Corps: A typical katana with a white handle
Blade Color: SLATE PURPLE
Special Ability (optional): Extremely large lung capacity- Kit is able to store a lot of air in his lungs, causes his manipulations from his breath style to have enhanced effects (it will make more sense later).
Breath Style: Breath of Shadows- Derived from breath of Moon
Techniques: The user breaths at a much slower rate, allowing the user to fully control the path of oxygen in their body. When the user of breath of shadow swings their sword, it is followed by inky black streaks that resemble flames.
Backstory: The son of a medic for the demon slayer corps, Kit always knew he was destined to join. The heartbreak he would see when traveling with his parents to places demons had wrecked havoc was devastating, and he vowed he would kill all demons. During his time at headquarters, Kit had a strange draw to one of the Harashi. The man was treated like an outcast but emitted a far more intimidating aura than any of the others. Kit begged this man to train him for years, and he finally agreed after Kit’s parents healed him of a poison he suffered on a mission. For five years Kit has been training with the shadow pillar and has grown very strong.

Breath Style: Breath of Shadows- Derived from breath of Moon
Techniques: The user breaths at a much slower rate, allowing the user to fully control the path of oxygen in their body. When the user of breath of shadow swings their sword, it is followed by inky black streaks that resemble flames.
- First Form: Shadow Waltz- This is the basis for styles 2-6, it enhances speed and stealth ability. Kit stores a large amount of air in his lungs and holds it in. The increased amount of air lightens his weight, allowing him to move faster, jump higher, fall slower, and eliminate the sound of his footsteps and breathing.
- Second From: Black Rushing Hawk- Kit holds his blade out to the side like a wing and charges forwards.
- Third Form: Cursed Wolf Fang- Kit holds his sword with both hands above his head and stabs it straight downwards.
- Fourth Form: Void Ring- Kit swings his sword quickly in a circle, creating a spinning ring that he charges at his enemy with.
- Fifth Form: Dark Cyclone- Kit jumps and quickly spins in a 360, creating a black tornado around himself, then slices downwards using the spinning momentum.
- Sixth Form: Black Rhino Thrust- Still holding his blade in a reverse grip, Kit turns his arm at a 90 degree angle so it is faced forwards to stab and lunges at his opponent.
- Seventh Form: Moonlight Song- The basis for styles 8-12, it enhances offensive and defensive strength. After filling his lungs to maximum capacity, Kit slowly exhales through an extended hum. This emits vibrations that allow him to detect nearby objects, even in complete darkness.
- Eighth Form: Black Tiger Claw- Kit preforms a diagonal slash, with a mirrored shadow blade on both sides. He creates these by focusing air to his hand and then vibrating it, creating the blades following after images.
- Ninth Form: Sprouting Orchid- Kit holds his blade centered below his opponent and strikes upwards in an uppercut fashion, vibrating his hand to create five shadow blades at the end of the slash.
- Tenth Form: Black Hornet Barrage- The quickest attack, Kit points his sword at the opponent and quickly jabs many times, utilizing shadow blades to make it appear like an endless stream of stabs.
- Eleventh Form: Phantom Counter Strike- Kit hums very forcefully, allowing him to create an echo of his body that lasts for around two seconds. This echo can be used as a decoy or to block attacks while the real Kit attacks his opponent.
- Twelfth Form: Ghost Guardian- Kit hums to vibrate quickly, creating a mirrored echo of himself that will copy his actions. This allows him to preform “double” attacks using all of his previous forms with the aid of his clone.
Backstory: The son of a medic for the demon slayer corps, Kit always knew he was destined to join. The heartbreak he would see when traveling with his parents to places demons had wrecked havoc was devastating, and he vowed he would kill all demons. During his time at headquarters, Kit had a strange draw to one of the Harashi. The man was treated like an outcast but emitted a far more intimidating aura than any of the others.

Name: Phyralis "Reva" Delphys
Pronunciation: "fee"-"rah"-"liz"
Age: 16
Personality: Phyralis, shorted to 'Fira' or 'Liz', is a relaxing girl who likes to tease and observe other people. As a result, she has a keen eye for details in not only people but also the environment. She has a sharp tongue that is buried beneath layers of calmness and pleasantry. Fira is wily and isn't afraid to bargain for her own interests, learning to be shrewd and discerning from her Merchant Parents.
Appearance: Fira has long black hear, decorated with a bright blue-feathered hairpin. She usually keeps her locks bound loosely into a ponytail. She wears a simple blue blouse and a black skirt of medium length. Wooden stilted slippers adorn her feet and are bound to her legs through wrappings that criss-cross along her shins.
Marking (Optional): N/A
Bird: Violet-Green Swallow
Weapon: Tanto (Will change.)
Blade Color: The primary edge is and Aqua blue which slowly fades to storm-cloud grey on the reverse edge.
Special Ability (optional): Exceptional muscle-memory.
Breath Style: Breath of Rain — Derived from the Breath of Water
Techniques:
A fickle breathing style that's erratic in its forms, but has core focuses on the consistent accumulation of light but repetition strikes, and the uninterrupted flow of sword strikes. Although stances vary in form and intensity, many of them are interconnected. Just as the rain, this breath style builds in intensity and can quickly flip between stances, but all must start from a single 'Rain Drop'.
i.e. All stances must start from the 'Rain Drop' stance.
Other: Owns a horse.
Backstory: Born to a simple mercantile family, Fira learned the sword as a way to defend herself from would-be bandits during her various travels to neighboring towns. She'd always been handy with her body, quickly being able to replicate what she'd been shown, and the sword has been no different. Rather than through tragedy or misfortune, Fira simply happened to gain sudden inspiration as she watched the rainfall from the seat of her family's carriage. She immediately began to practice the sword with the aim of mimicking the falling of raindrops. The Sword of rain became a self-created breath style, and one of Fira's greatest points of pride. She's always looking for more inspiration on how to improve it.

i.e. All stances must start from the 'Rain Drop' stance.
- First Stance — Rain Drop : ["The constant dripping of water wears away the stone."]
- The technique's central stance consisting of a single sword stroke or thrust. The initial is basic and utterly lacking in intrigue, its a perfectly standard strike through and through.
However, the raindrop stance is highly susceptible to change. It will adopt the style of whichever stance precedes it. For example, if raindrop is preceded by Drizzle, the sword strokes will be light, soft and gentle. If preceded by Torrential Storm, the sword strokes will be rapid and in quick succession.
Raindrop can be used consecutively to build into another stance.
- The technique's central stance consisting of a single sword stroke or thrust. The initial is basic and utterly lacking in intrigue, its a perfectly standard strike through and through.
- Second Stance — Drizzle : [""]
- A soft and flexible stance of light and airy strokes used for deflects and entanglements.
- Third Stance — Gentle Rains nourish the Land : [""]
- A 'transitional' stance that makes use of long, drawn-out breaths to loosens the muscles. It causes a decrease in the speed and strength of sword strokes but enhances their flow and precision.
- Fourth Stance — Heavy Rains feed the Flood : [""]
- A 'transitional' stance that makes use of deep, staccato breaths and tenses the muscles allowing for faster and stronger strikes. While it brings the user to a 'tensed' state, prolonged usage of this state is dangerous as the muscles can become too tense and begin to tear.
- Fifth Stance — Birth of Rivers : ["It is the rain that fills rivers, not the dew."]
- A sword strike that requires extensive build up an accumulation. It slowly conserves momentum and muscle tension from previous sword strikes and pools them into a single slash.
*Cannot be used (effectively) after Gentle Rains nourish the Land as the relaxed muscles won't conserve power well enough to execute a strong slash.
- A sword strike that requires extensive build up an accumulation. It slowly conserves momentum and muscle tension from previous sword strikes and pools them into a single slash.
- Sixth Stance — Monsoon : [""]
- The 'heaviest' strikes that throw the weight of the user's body into a strike. Composed of either overhead strikes of horizontal slashes made from violent gyration of the waist, Monsoon strikes are wide and slow.
- Seventh Stance — Torrential Storm : ["A drizzle isn't for the child who dances in the storm."]
- The stance involving the fastest and greatest repetition of sword strokes. Focused on overwhelming an opponent through sheer speed and number of attacks. The speed needed for Torrential Storm can't be achieved without first warming and preparing the muscles, as such, Heavy Rains feed the Flood must be used first.
*Can only be maintained for a short period of time.
- The stance involving the fastest and greatest repetition of sword strokes. Focused on overwhelming an opponent through sheer speed and number of attacks. The speed needed for Torrential Storm can't be achieved without first warming and preparing the muscles, as such, Heavy Rains feed the Flood must be used first.
- Eighth Stance — Curtain of Showers : [""]
- A defensive sword stance that uses an onslaught of wide sword strokes to create a 'curtain' that parries attacks and projectiles.
- Ninth Stance — Scattered Riposte : [""]
- A countering strike that translates the rebound from a previous strike into momentum for a new strike by using the spine and shoulder blades as pivot points.
*Used with two or more one-handed weapons.
- A countering strike that translates the rebound from a previous strike into momentum for a new strike by using the spine and shoulder blades as pivot points.
- Tenth Stance — Cleared Skies : [""]
- A feint disguised as another sword stance, which upon nearing, with discard the weapon with the intent of a close-range sneak attack with either a hidden weapon or hand-to-hand.
Other: Owns a horse.

Name: Miyaji Kojiro
Age: 17
Personality: Miyaji is quite calm and calculating, wholeheartedly focusing on the task at hand, which, most of the time, tends to be slaying demons, of course. When he is not, Miyaji tends to be rather friendly while maintaining his calm demeanor as well.
Appearance: Standing at 5'8, Miyaji has short, black hair brushed to the right along with a couple of red strands in the front. His eyes have a chocolate brown hue, and he has a medium build, with more muscle in the upper body. Miyaji wears a black haori with deep scarlet swirl patterns around the left sleeve and around the torso over a white tunic, black trousers, and black boots.
Marking (Optional): N/A
Bird: Peregrine Falcon
Weapon: Naginata
Blade Color: SCARLET primary edge, slowly fading out to deep MAROON
Special Ability: Very high heat tolerance
Breath Style: Breath of the Volcano (a self-developed style derived from the Breath of Flames because I'm unoriginal :/); Miyaji's fire matches his haori, having a burning red color with traces of black.
Techniques:
First Form: Blazing Step; Lunging forward with great speed, Miyaji slashes 2 or 3 times in rapid succession.
Second Form: Hellfire Orbit; Similar to Water Wheel from the Breath of Water, Miyaji leaps forward and swings in a circular motion by spinning his body in midair at any angle.
Third Form: Plumes of Smoke; Similar to Obscuring Clouds from the Breath of Mist, Miyaji employs an erratic change in his movement tempo, moving with incredible speed when hidden and moving extremely slowly when visible.
Fourth Form: Fiery Wall; Miyaji takes a defensive stance, blocking incoming attacks with quick parries and blocks.
Fifth Form: Crashing Down of Molten Rock; Miyaji leaps upward and dives downward with a horizontal slash from above.
Sixth Form: Magma Flow; Subsequently after utilizing the Third Form, Miyaji takes a slow, straight path to the target before immediately changing movement speed and delivering a swift slash to the neck.
Seventh Form: A Poor Man's Rose: Miyaji unleashes several spinning slashes with his blade by twirling the polearm while alternating between a normal and reverse grip of his Naginata, and the attacks create a "blossoming" pattern, hence the name of the form.
Eighth Form: Spear of Igneous Resolve: Miyaji hurls his Naginata at his target, aiming to impale and pin against a wall behind it. Upon successful execution, Miyaji can then employ any other attack form to finish the job.
Ninth Form: Scattered Ashes: By gripping the Naginata at the very end of the handle, Miyaji uses his greatly extended range to swing in a deft, circular arc; this form is mainly used to decimate a swarm of demons or an incoming barrage of attacks.
Tenth Form: The Eruption After Dormancy: Miyaji performs a series of swift upward slashes, mostly to be used when airborne.
Eleventh Form: Sakurajima's Wrath; Miyaji unleashes a wild frenzy of attacks meant to tear away and destroy, constantly adjusting his slashes in accordance with the target's reactions.
Other: N/A
Backstory: Born to a rather poor family, Miyaji lived in a small cottage quite a distance from society. When his father died of illness, he became the provider for the house, as his mother began growing weak as well. The accommodations of his house were insufficient, especially in the winters, so during the cold seasons, he found shelter in the warmth of the campfire outside, and his method of relaxation due to the exhaustion of providing for his mother, his younger brother, and himself was meditation next to the fire. One day when he was 14 years of age, Miyaji heard rumor of a demon that had attacked the nearest village, leaving no survivors. Later on in the week, when he had been out hunting, his family fell victim to the demon as well, and neither of his remaining family members survived. As the demon had already disappeared, Miyaji had no way of tracking or even recognizing the demon who killed his family, so he was forced to put his old life behind him and start anew. Wandering through the country with only his clothes and naginata, he stumbled upon the abode of a former Flame Pillar, who agreed to train him. After studying under the tutelage of the retired Demon Slayer for three years, the Pillar eventually died of old age, his final wish being for Miyaji to pass the Final Selection on Mt. Fujikasane and succeed him.

Backstory: Akane lived alone with her mother in a nice town. Before her father died, her marriage had been arranged with a wealthy family. When she was fourteen, her fiance was eaten in front of her by a demon. The demon went after Akane next, which she accidentally killed. Word spread that Akane had killed the demon to avenge her fiance, but the truth is she didn't love him and the demon had accidentally ran into a sword she randomly picked up. She was sent away to train and become a demon slayer, which was better then being married of to the next wealthy family in town.

Techniques:
1st style: fading golden hands - he swings a feint to one side then in the last moment switches his attack to the other side.
2nd style: gold horizon - he swings his blade 540 degrees. a technique he uses when enemies attempt to flank him from the side or behind.

Other: Dolan is a skilled bagua practitioner which is why he incorporates a lot of circular movements in his style. He wears a gold haori with green and orange stars on it. (even when he's wearing his demon hunter uniform). His demon slayer uniform has orange trim.
Backstory: Dolan grew up in a farm town where his father was a blacksmith making mostly farm equipment for the local farming community ,but also made weapons too as occasionally someone would visit the town or a local resident would want something to help him feel safe out in the fields. There was also a bagua expert named Kishi who practiced all sorts of martial arts and even taught Dolan some here and there. One night one night when Dolan and his father were harvesting crops one afternoon he heard his sister had ran in the woods. A place that the elders of the village forbid anyone to go into as there were dangerous cliff sides, caves, dense trees, and all sorts of nasty creatures that roamed the place at night. Dolan ran into the woods to get his sister but before they could get home it became night fall and a chill ran up his spine as they left the forest a bone chilling voice came from behind them. A demon was right behind them however they were extremely lucky as the old bagua instructor in his youth was a demon slayer and had told them to run home. The old man wasn't in top shape anymore however. As the demon lunged towards the little girl Dolan pulled out his iron sword blocking the demons attack but knocking him down in the process ,but giving the old man an opportunity to give a killing blow to the demon. The old man scolded Dolan as they headed back to the village but asked Dolan if he had any plans on becoming a demon hunter. After a night of thinking the next day he accepted to his mothers slightly disappointing as she thought it would be too dangerous. His father and the old man convinced her to reluctantly let him go. After that day the kishi began teaching him far harder and agressive then he ever taught him before. striking him with a wooden stick when he made mistakes and giving him more drills to do when he did them right. Dolan grew tough in the time the old man taught him and learned to hone his breathing as well. he also sent Dolan out in the woods to retrieve various small flags where he would also have to avoid traps as well. Kishi finally believed he was ready for the Final selection.

Name: Sena Cronos
Age: 17
Personality: She's blunt and prefers things done her way. Her quickness to take charge comes from a strong sense of justice that lies beneath her hardened exterior. Sena's past experiences have taught her the importance of allies, so she makes more of an effort to socialize than she did as a child. Her dry, understated sense of humor, which contrasts the alpha vibe, is probably a vestige of the person she was back then.
Appearance: Sena has long, icy-blue hair that gently brushes her eyebrows but almost completely covers her ears. While her stare is patently dead, it's unknown if anything's dead or alive under the brown scarf that always covers the lower half of her face. That, complete with a black haori and the standard demon slayer uniform, gives her an assassin's appearance. Which isn't far from the truth. If you try to take her scarf, she'll rip your spine out through your mouth and throttle you to death.
Marking (Optional): Eight-pointed star... maybe it's under the scarf?
Bird: Cactus wren
Weapon: Katana
Blade Color: DESERT SAND
Special Ability (optional): N/A
Breath Style: Breath of Sand (derived from Breath of Wind)
Techniques:
Backstory: As a child she was a social outcast, seldom leaving the house and never playing with the other village kids. Sena was cool, distant, and impersonal. People wondered what was wrong with her, rumors swirling about like dust devils in the empty space between her and everyone else. Was she shy? Rude? Stupid? Unfeeling? Too good for anyone? In reality, Sena clung to her close family and instinctively distrusted others. At the age of 12, this attitude would be her undoing. A demon entered her house one night and slaughtered her mother, father, and younger brother with swords that shot from his mouth. But he'd killed with restraint, making them look like stabbing deaths and leaving a knife at the scene of the crime. The other villagers, crowding around the relatively unscathed house, were horrified at what they presumed Sena had done, and when she explained that a demon was responsible, they dismissed it as one of those "devil made me do it" excuses. That was when she realized that the villagers had never seen her as one of their own, that she wasn't the girl who cried wolf, but the wolf herself who lay in wait for the perfect chance to devour her prey. At 12, Sena was imprisoned for murdering her family and kept in solitary confinement, but her young age ultimately allowed her an early release. She swore she'd find the demon who framed her, avenge the deaths of her loved ones, and prove wrong the society that had condemned her. She'd keep two things on her at all times. On her neck, a scarf that her mother had sewn for her twelfth birthday. On her mind, a valuable lesson that the demon had taught her—that what made his kind dangerous wasn't brute strength, sharp teeth, or enhanced regeneration, but clever deception.

Blade Color: DESERT SAND
Special Ability (optional): N/A
Breath Style: Breath of Sand (derived from Breath of Wind)
Techniques:
- First Style: Shreds of Reality- Heat waves dance off her blade, creating a mirage that prevents her foe from correctly perceiving her speed.
- Second Style: Oasis- Swings her katana 360 degrees, circular strikes spreading from the epicenter like ripples in a pond.
- Third Style: Desert Wrath- Tracing her blade around herself before breaking out into a spin, she whips up a brief sandstorm whose winds cut like a knife.
- Fourth Style: Quenchless Bloodthirst- A decisive, finishing move, usually executed under the cover of swirling sands or a mirage.
- Fifth Style: Dust in the Wind- Discerns the path her katana should follow from the smallest grains in the air.
- Sixth Style: Caution to the Wind- Drags her blade along the ground, then with one great slash sends a cloud of sand speeding toward her foe, concealing a bundle of strikes.

Queen:
Prince:
Princess:
Dukes and Duchesses:
Nobles:
Prince:
Name: Iraesu Spadinare
Personality: Irae is loyal to the queen, more out of admiration than fear. A powerful demon who killed and ate countless people. Including many demon slayers. Apart from the Queen and the Princess, there is no one to whom he would be kind. Calm, but it's very easy to upset him and only the queen and princess can calm him down.
Appearance: A young man with pointed black hair with one hair in front of red. Pale, with golden eyes, one of them shows his status in the hierarchy of demons. He wears a black kimono with a white symbol 息 子 engraved on the back of the kimono
Blood Demon Art: Iraesube can create, manipulate and control steel shards made from his own blood and flesh. The limit of shards isn't well known, but he can control around 500 shards in the combat.
Techniques:
(Immense Speed, Immense Strength, Enchanted Regeneration) (I don't know, if we count the Abilities that they have as a demons).
Demon Transformation
Great in hand-to-hand combat.
Other: I don't know, if it will be family or Royal. So, he is a Prince for Royal and Children for Family.
Backstory: Irae was a bastard, an illegitimate child of an important personality and a young mother. His mother died quickly after giving birth and as a child he was found by the Queen (Grandmother) and became a demon. It soon turned out that even as a demon of the queen's blood he was too weak, not enough for her not to disappoint his new mother, he quickly began to try, hunt and fight to gain strength. He succeeded, his bloody art turned out to be more powerful than anyone could have thought before, almost perfect attack and defense. He was more powerful than all other demons and only the princess (his siblings) could match him. He proudly serves the queen to this day.

Dukes and Duchesses:
Name: Arashi
Personality: Arashi is rather laid-back, offering his servitude to the Queen alone and no one else in the hierarchy, not even the Prince or Princess, as he presents respect only to those who he believes are stronger than him. He wastes no time trying to "make a strategy" or "consider the surroundings" before charging into a fight, and his apparent recklessness isn't something he considers too often... because he doesn't lose. The last thing heard by those unfortunate to encounter him is the eerie sound of low wind chimes that hang down the ends of his hat.
Appearance: Arashi has a human figure and is usually seen with a bare torso, revealing his muscular build. He wears a black striped hakama with brown sandals, and his daisho blades are sheathed on both sides of his waist. The aforementioned hat he wears is similar to that of Haganezuka Hotaru, but more conical in shape, and the woven hat is black. The hat covers the top of his long, blood red hair, which is tied into a ponytail most of the time that hangs under the head-wear.
Blood Demon Art: Dancing Typhoon; by loosening up his body, Arashi becomes much more agile, greatly enhancing his combat skills in order to end a fight quickly.
Techniques: Arashi is very adept with his swords, so they are his weapon of choice for most of the battle; his Blood Demon Art also provides more incentive for him to stick with the daisho blades in the first place.
Other: Arashi considers Pearlan a slight acquaintance (@E.K.A.N.S. if that's aight with you; could have some funny interactions between the two), which unusually says much, considering the fact that the former scarcely interacts with any other demon (aside from the Queen).
Backstory: Masutsu Renkui had passionately aspired to become a samurai in his early years and blindly pursued any method he could to get stronger, so it was but a matter of whether he stumbled upon the art of Demon Slaying or became a demon himself. One of his methods was to instigate fights with strong swordsmen, but this backfired, as every loss drove him to insanity rather than encourage him to continue to improve. After encountering the Queen one night in his 20s, Masutsu, after childishly complaining about his situation, was presented with the opportunity to become stronger than any samurai that had ever lived or ever would. Of course, the man immediately accepted the offer, and from that day forward, he became Arashi, a powerful Duke of the demon hierarchy. After he proclaimed his allegiance to the Queen, Arashi set out, becoming a feared but invisible force, wiping out countless samurai and warriors and even decent sized provinces, almost as if it was an unnamed plague that left just as soon as it arrived.

Name: Pearlan Eveldauer
Personality: Scheming and ruthless, Pearlan is one of the most feared demons in existence, yet his is also shrouded in mystery. Equally mysterious are the countless disappearances for which he is responsible, devouring large swaths of the population like an untraceable, rain-wrapped tornado, their fates unknown beyond its windy, impenetrable walls. But his movements are far more meticulous and less erratic than those of a twister. Instead of ravenously consuming his victims like an unsightly, low-level demon, Pearlan ensnares them with elaborate traps and carefully devised plots that behoove a monster of his sophistication. He's an epicure who enjoys the finer things in life, as far as his feeding habits are concerned. He's less pretentious and more personable around his close followers, however, committing himself to new plans with a childish zeal and becoming easily flustered in their everyday interactions. Pearlan has welcomed demonhood with a tight embrace, smiling wickedly at humanity's charges of evil and expressions of fear. But what really needs a protective embrace is his fragile ego.
Appearance: Standing at 6'1," Pearlan has purple skin on a deceptively innocent face and feral, slitted pupils inside yellow irises. His messy, midnight-blue hair, which sticks up in all directions like greedy hands claiming the world for themselves, has begrudgingly spared some room for his small, ringed horns. The fanged, lean-muscled demon is considered quite handsome, though he doesn't dare remove his white mask, cloak, breastplate, and tinted goggles in the sun.
Blood Demon Art: He can change the color of his skin and phase through anything that matches his complexion. Conversely, anything of the same color will phase harmlessly through him. But he rarely uses his ability, since he's skilled enough in hand-to-hand combat.
Techniques: Pearlan aims to get the most out of his raw strength, relying on simple but effective blows. If these fail, he'll draw his sword.
Other: Marginally resistant to sunlight, he can survive a few extra seconds in the day before perishing like any other demon.
Backstory: Prior to being turned, he was a humble farmhand who fancied himself a master swordsman, his sickle planted firmly in the earth but his thoughts grounded weakly in reality. He was talented with a blade, and he did think he was destined for greatness... but he'd never chased his dreams with any passion and resigned himself to a modest life. When the Princess transformed him, it was as if he'd been reborn... Pearlan now possessed immense strength, speed, and regenerative capabilities. Most importantly, he possessed a new mentality, convinced that with this body he could achieve anything he put his mind to. As the inspired demon roamed the lands, those wheels that had spun inconsequentially in his head now churned out detailed plans, drawing a large number of loyal followers. Demons, especially lowly, bloodthirsty ones, normally didn't work together. But perhaps Pearlan's newfound confidence, his disarming visage, or a latent ability to understand others that he'd only developed after living in his own head and thoroughly understanding himself overrode their instincts. With the Eveldauer Clan behind him, the Duke finally seized the greatness his human self had dreamed of, launching an ambitious offensive on a large city, devouring its lord, and erecting an imposing wall around his new dominion in a bloody event known as the Scourge of Dowa. Though Pearlan remains loyal to the Queen and Princess, he pursues his own goals with a demon's fervor.
