The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little
"There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds."
and to endure very much.

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
+My name for yours: Zyphrïl Jikosho Na'ar (ziph-free-el, jee-koh-show, nah-are)
+Be careful what you call me: Jikosho or Jiko
+Don't let the outer looks fool you: Fallen Seraphic Servant
+Who says age is only a number: 723 years old
+Watch what you say: Male
+I'm no different than you: Straight
+Do I get cake for my birthday: October 30th, 1298
When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
+Orbs of color: Bright blue.
+Have a brush?: Jiko's hair is as black as a raven's feather, sometimes seeming purple in the sunlight. His hair is naturally wavey and of a medium thickness, and can be messy since he never really tends to it and just leaves it to its own devices. It falls just a few inches below his shoulders and he always keeps it parted down the middle
+Growth spurt: Six feet, three inches
+Does this make me look fat: 184 lbs
+Look in the mirror:
-Anthro Form - Jiko is always seen as an antho Appenzellar Sennenhund, a dog breed. He has a main black coat and a white undercoat, along with white spots around his eyes and a streak of white up his muzzle. There's spots of brown above his eyes and it usually divides the black and white on his pelt. Unlike his feral counterpart, his ears always stay up, something strange, but he's never questioned it, nor can be bothered to care. His nails are long and sharp and a white color. (Click here for an image to better picture him.)
-Fallen Form - Since Jiko is a Fallen Seraphic Servant, he does have a 'Fallen' form rather than an 'Angelic' form. However, nothing truly changes physically when he goes into this form except that his eyes have a glow to them.
-Demonic Form - Most of his features remain the same. However, his pupils completely disappear, leaving him with nothing but bright blue orbs for eyes. He also sprouts large bat-like wings that are pitch black in color. While in this form, he's often a little clumsy on the ground and always fights better when in the air.
+A sharp edge:
Weapons in Anthro Form
++Occasus (oh-cah-suss) ('Setting Sun') ~ A glaive sword, his main weapon. It is mainly a deep orange color with some streaks of yellow. The guard of it is in the shape of a sun with eight points on it, and the guard--and hilt--are all the brightest orange and some yellow. As your get nearer to the end of the blade, it fades from orange, to red, to a deep purple/pink, and eventually to black at the tip. The entire sword is roughly four feet long.
++Tría Peftastéria (tree-ah pef-tas-ter-ee-ah) ('Three Shooting Stars') ~ A reflector, his sub weapon, and uses it as a shield. It is made up of three parts, and all are exactly the same. They're small circles of dark purple with small flares of fire spinning off of them in a burst of orange and yellow and red. The three pieces can either stay together to block one large attack, or break apart into three to block off three seperate attacks.
Weapons in Fallen/Demonic Form
++Ptéryga tou Skótous (ter-ee-gah tow skoh-tows) ('Wing of Darkness') ~ His glaive, only a more darker form of it. The blade is an obsidian black with traces of deep purple in it when the light catches it just right. The blade itself is in the shape of a feathery wing, with the edge of the primaries being the sharp side; each feather had a serrated edge, and along with the uneveness of the feathers, could leave a painful cut. The guard of the sword is a simple crescent shape that curves back towards the hilt.
++Ilektriká Trisypóstati (ill-eck-tree-kah tris-ee-poh-stah-tee) ('Electrical Triune') ~ His reflector, only a different form of it. The three circles that make up the reflector are now a dark grey color wih just the slightest tint of a sort of blue-green color. Instead of flares of fire, now each of them has a bolt of yellow and white electricity coming off of them from the side.
Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
+A childhood: Jiko had been born into a family that hid themselves away from the rest of the world due to what they were. He and his family were Seraphic Servants, things that never looked human, and so they would never be accepted into society. Back then, it was easy, for there weren’t as many people around as there are in the present day. They lived in a nice home—he never asked his parents where they got the money from—and it was out in the middle of the woods, though they did have some farmland to supply themselves with most of the food they ate.
From the beginning, Jiko and his brother Bralem were always competitive, always trying to see who was the best, but in that brotherly way. They fought a lot—over little things and larger things—and would constantly pester each other and mess around. Their father, however, trained them well to use their weapons and abilities, and they advanced well in being able to use their powers and using their weapons to their best potential. They lived a great life far away from any civilization, managing to stay out of conflicts and do their own thing.
Back then, Jiko was a good soul, always intent on doing good in the world. He and his brother actually teamed up and would often travel out to fight against demons, always doing what they could. They were a force to be reckoned with and were unstoppable for centuries. They fought well side-by-side, and since Bralem fought mainly with a rosary, his speed really covered for Jiko’s slowness in a fight with his glaive sword.
They truly ran into trouble about a century ago when they went up against a particularly powerful demon. They thought they could handle it, but they were over-confident and cocky, thinking they could handle anything. As they fought, the demon caught Bralem by surprise and killed him. Jiko, filled with rage, killed the demon single-handedly, though came inches to death in the process. When he healed, he travelled to the nearest town and slaughtered everyone out of fury and rage. Hundreds of innocents—dead. Because of this horrible deed, his mind and heart was shrouded in darkness as he turned into a Fallen Servant, losing his Angelic and Seraphic forms, and turning into a being of evil.
Since that day, however, he has felt a terrible guilt hanging over him that always haunts him. He remembers every face of every person he slaughtered: men, women, elderly, children, babies…everything. Even some animals. He feels awful for what he did and, ever since then, has always tried to make up for it by doing anything. But…it just didn’t work. He always turned towards the darker side. Perhaps that’s how he got into the business of bounty hunting, believing that, if he eliminated bad people, he could redeem himself. Nothing ever seems to ease his mind, and so—soon after taking up his current job—he began to turn to drink to try and solve his problems, and at least that provided him with short times to forget his woes.
+How I act around others: Jiko is often very withdrawn, shut out, and doesn’t like to communicate with others unless necessary. He gives off a cold demeanor, which often keeps others at bay, and he doesn’t let people get down into his mind or emotions since he doesn’t want all their ‘crappy pity’. He always seems to be in a bad mood, no matter the day, weather, or time, and it never leaves him. He snaps easily at others and has a very short temper, unable to handle anything that bothers him for long. But often times, after snapping at someone, he feels a little guilty. He yearns to be able to not have such a corrupted mind, heart, and soul, but he knows there is no way to fix it. This knowledge usually makes him depressed and he often goes to alcohol to numb the pain of knowing he will live for the rest of his extended life in the depths of evil and darkness.
+What I do with my life: Bounty Hunter, along with hunting demons on the side.
+I do enjoy things:
-Fighting demons
-Looking at the stars
-Swimming
-Observing people
+I also hate some things:
-Demons
-Himself
-Large crowds
-People that can't think for themselves
+Oh, I almost forgot: Jiko has the ability to make electricity by charging the air around him and aiming it at his enemies to harm them. He also has control over darkness and shadows.
