| | State Two: Appearance/Personality Appearance
The Demi-Fiend stands at roughly 6 feet in height and appears, for the most part, to be your average human teenager. Well, he would if not for the fact that his entire body is covered by a criss-crossing pattern of black-and-blue tattoos. They are mostly line- and box-shaped in design and are solid black with a blue outline that emits a glow bright enough to be seen very clearly even in the daytime. From scalp to toes, they make a strange, arcane image out of his body. Under the markings, he's quite pale in color.
His face is slightly oval in shape, with piercing golden eyes and a rather pouty mouth. Running up each eye is one of his many line tattoos; two lines branch off just below the start of the eye and curve around to his ears, adding even more to his already haunting appearance. Naoki's hair is on the short side, being nothing more than close-cut black hair and sparse bangs that barely touch his eyebrows. Jutting out of the back of his neck is a sight most odd: a single black horn. However, it's usually quite dull and poses little threat.
When it comes to clothes, he wears very little. A pair of dark capri pants and black shoes make up his attire.
Personality
Naoki has a bit of a complex personality, which isn't aided by the fact that you'll almost never hear him talk. At heart, this Demi-Fiend seems human. He is capable of compassion, and more than willing to listen and try to understand all sides of a particular story. He's also a bit lazy, taking every chance to goof off as though it's the last time he'll be able to do so. He doesn't seem to be more happy or sad; he's just your average kid that falls right in between being completely dull and being a touch eccentric.
Then there's his demon side…
This side has added some quite negative traits to what was once a… well, neutral and almost bland state of mind. Through this, Naoki has gained a great love of fighting- and even greater, a love of killing. Now, he's no mass-murderer and he'd (almost) never harm an innocent stranger, but if put in serious combat against someone, odds are they won't live to see tomorrow. It's also made him a bit cold on the outside. If it doesn't have much to do with him, there's a good chance he won't care unless it manages to catch his interest. This demon side also brings about a lusty personality twist. If someone manages to garner any special attraction, he'll usually pursue them regardless of things like gender, species, and/or how much they hate him. Naoki doesn't discriminate.
Neither side seems to be prevalent over the other. They've managed an almost equal mix and you could see him being relaxed and normal about as often as you could find him being dark or perverted.
A noteworthy thing his is outlook on the world. He doesn't see his enemies as 'enemies', but more as the people that aren't on his side. It's he and his allies against everyone else that doesn't fall in that category, be they good or evil, male or female, human or other. It's simply how he's had to live and how he will always view the world and the people in his life. If you're his friend, he'll stand beside you all the way. Unless, of course, you manage to make your way into the 'everyone else' category once again.

| | State Three: Items/AbilitiesAbilities/Strengths
His most notable strength is the fact that he's part demon. This comes from the insect-like creature called a Magatama living inside of him. It can bestow Naoki with various strengths, abilities, and immunities depending on how much training he does and which Magatama he's ingested at the time. Each one comes with different skill sets, but nobody's perfect and Naoki can only remember so many at a time.
Tornado- As the name sounds, Naoki can channel the Magatama's power to create a small tornado. Capable of dealing light damage depending on the area, or just blowing someone's skirt up.
Focus- A bit of a time-consuming move that allows Naoki to focus his Magatama's power. His next physical attack will be at least twice as strong, but only that one attack. He'd have to Focus again for it to apply to another attack, and it only counts for physical blows.
Tetrakarn- A weak shield that will protect Naoki from one physical attack, and then shatter. Using it repeatedly becomes very draining.
Diarama- Medium healing skill. Only effects one person. Can heal things like severe cuts and bruises. Slows bleeding greatly on larger wounds.
Dormina- Sleep spell. At it's strongest, it can put most to sleep easily. At it's weakest, it can create mild drowsiness. Usually lasts anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Ice Breath- Just as it says, he can breathe ice. Very handy, but causes his normal body temperature to drop in order to accommodate the skill. With focus, he can suppress it somewhat.
Fire Breath- Similar to Ice Breath, only with fire, obviously. It cancels out the low body temperature created by Ice Breath alone, but both still have the power to raise or lower his temperature when used... or when excited.
Due to the Legion Ring he received from Lyle, he can now fly (poorly).
When it comes to non-combat skills, the Demi-Fiend is a smooth talker. He tends to know the right things to say, but doesn't always choose to go with the easy option. He doesn't have an amazingly huge vocabulary and he's not even that talkative, but he knows the right buttons to push.
Naoki is also a bit resistant to cold environments, but not to any amazing extent. It just takes him longer to succumb to a freeze than the normal person.
While it's not quite a skill, the blue on his tattoos will turn a deep red when he takes a critical amount of damage and will stay that way until he's healed.
Notable Possessions His Magatama. The one that lives inside him, Gehenna, is with him at all times obviously. It's actually deep within his head and can't be removed unless Naoki himself takes it out. Of course, he can only remove it by replacing it with a different Magatama.
The Candelabrums of Sovereignty and Foundation are among his possessions as well. They don't seem to be anything more than two ordinary, five-pronged candelabrums, though…
Other things in his possession since arrival include several notebooks full of sketches and a standard deck of Tarot cards.
He also owns a Legion Flight Ring, given to him by Lyle Norg when he was accepted as an honorary Legionnaire.
Weaknesses First and foremost: fire. Actually, heat in general. Naoki dislikes most hot things and/or places, and fire is his biggest weak point. He burns very easily and will usually refuse to do anything that requires the use of an open flame or powerful heat source.
Another weakness of his is the fact that he's become almost completely out of touch with the human world. He's become used to the Vortex World way of life- traveling on foot in the company of demons and every day being a fight for his very right to survive. As such, he tends to be easily isolated and can even come off as frightening and cruel to those who have never had a mindset like his. Because of this, he tends to have little success in making friends despite his way with words.
While he used to be proficient in technology, living in the Vortex World has made that knowledge useless and, as such, he remembers very little of it. Naoki can't work computers, televisions, and the like. He remembers them and what they do, but has forgotten how to use them at all.
No knowledge of weapons use. At all. Naoki only knows how to use his fists and Magatama skills in combat and is hopelessly ignorant as to how to use the most simple of weapons.| | State Four: History/RelationshipsHistory Clicky!
Relationships AU!Zim ( ttlynotanalien)- Dislikes, but finds interesting.
AU!Dib ( notabighead)- Unsure of. Naoki finds Dib interesting; Dib thinks he's a jerk. Unfortunately, he seems to have left the compound.
OU!Grandmaster Kragok ( gm_kragok)- Semi-ally. They teamed up to help pull pranks during the age plot. Still doesn't stop them from arguing almost every time they talk...
AU!Lyle Norg ( invisikid)- Closest friend he has in Econtra and, as of recently, his roommate and boyfriend. Even though it's only been a few months, he considers the Legionnaire his closest friend and confidant, and he'd willingly do just about anything for the younger boy.
OU!Belldandy ( goddesshelpline)- Likes, for the moment. He thinks Belldandy is a good person for warning him about what Econtra does to half-demons and giving him a good luck spell. Too bad he doesn't know that she's conned him about the whole thing.
AU!Link ( twilitxknight)- Former roommate. Has only spoken to him a few times, but finds Link to be nice enough. He's actually kinda sad the elf is gone, as he was the only roommate who actually talked to him.
OU!Ten-chan ( illusionary_fox)- Former roommate. Didn't really get to know him that well before he left.
OU!Joshua ( wrldendswithwho)- Naoki thinks of him as a friend. They grew up in the same area- albeit different worlds- and share the same opinion on a number of topics. An okay guy in Naoki's book. Doesn't seem to mind when the Fiend vents to him, which is always appreciated.
OU!Brainiac 5 ( brainiac5ive)- He's not quite sure where he stands with this Legionnaire, considering they had a pretty rough start. Their first real meeting was during his time spent under Belldandy's spell that drove him into bending to his Fiend side, and the two fought. Although Brainiac won and Naoki has gone back to normal, he can't help but feel the distrust is still here.
