Personality:
Gash is many things. He is an optimistic child, almost always curious and at times far too energetic, yet he is also a demon, a being thrown into warfare. As such, his personality varies due to the current situation. When he is happily at home with Kiyomaro, he amusingly frolics about with his snack-box companion, Vulcan-300. And at times after bickering with Kiyomaro- very much like siblings do- about not being able to visit him at school, the young boy cheerfully and curiously explores nearly everywhere, especially the local park. However he usually ends up going home in tears thanks to the neighborhood terror, Naomi. Even though he subjects himself to the girl's odd sense of dominance, he can easily defeat her if it came down to pure strength. Strange behavior for a creature fabled to be a monster, a murderer of all things good.
But the truth of the matter is that Gash is the exact opposite of the fairy-tale demon. He strives to protect those precious to him, and he is constantly willing to make new comrades in the Battle of Demons. An example of this would be his intentional disuse of his spells against Kolulu, a demon child with a terrible, twisted subconscious that comes into play whenever her powers are summoned. He wishes- hopes- that they could do something for her, but in the end, with heavy tears, she pleads to be sent back to the Demon World and rightfully is. It is then and there that Gash promises that he will become a kind king, one that won’t let the pain and sufferings continue for everyone-- demons and humans alike!
Continuing on the subject of battle, Gash shows another side of himself during life-threatening moments. His eyes burn with his inner resolution and his body automatically throws itself into danger. That is his sense of tactics for quite a while: "Run now, think later!" This emphasizes that he is strict on getting the matter at hand completed as quickly as possible to minimize damage to everyone and everything, willingly risking himself to keep the world safe.
On a lighter note, Gash has quite a liking for food, Yellowtail especially. He has been known to actually stalk Kiyomaro to school and eat the entire classes' portion, constantly stuff himself at bars with the mentioned snack, and even strip naked and throw himself into lakes, rivers- whatever, to grab a bite of the oh-so delicious fish. While the child enjoys a tasty meal and a full stomach, his partner, Kiyomaro, often throws a fit over the boy's bizarre antics. It isn't uncommon for the two of them to bark at one another and the smaller of the two to leave with a swelling lump on his head.
Yet even so, Gash treasures Kiyomaro- all of his friends- with every fiber of his being! In fact, once the boy has regained the memories of his past, he is still as cheerful and childish as ever: a sure sign that such a nature had been imprinted within him from the very start.
What your character can offer:
Gash's power comes from a system of bonds. Each demon and human has a fragment of heart-energy that fits perfectly with their destined partner's. The key item that absorbs and transfers the demon's true ability is a colored spell book. Only those meant to have a book can read the spells, and they can only understand their own.
Simply put, Kiyomaro summons "heart-energy", transfers it through the book, and calls out the desired spell. Gash, in turn, performs the act.
Each demon has a special ability. Gash was bestowed the power of electricity, and with it the mark of Baou, an all consuming dragon passed down from his father. Furthermore, Gash, like most of his kind, has strength unusual to his appearance. While he may appear and act like a six-year-old, he can lift heavy objects- television sets, boulders, trees- with apparent ease. Furthermore, after his strict training under the advice of Dufaux, Gash is able to willfully control his mantle, using it as a means of transportation as well as protection.
This all, of course, take affect when the chip is taken out.
What items will they be bringing with them?
√His mantle (not able to be controlled of course) and accessories - clothing in general
√His paper friend: Vulcan-300
√The letter from his brother foreshadowing the King’s Trial and the current state of the Demon World
Third-Person Sample:
A stagnant, wretched scent infiltrates Gash’s nose, and he yelps, his gaze snapping open as he does so. Instantly he’s frozen, body still curled up as if from a long nap. The world around him feels and looks so different that he’s unable to speak. Instead of the odor of fresh grass and crispness of a rushing spring, he is greeted with decay and death. After a pause, his orange-golden eyes widen with shock and begin to produce little droplets of tears that soon dribble their way down his cheeks and patter onto the ground below.
"Where..." The small demon squeaks out, his chin wriggling with worry. Certainly so, this isn’t the mountain region just outside of Mochinoki Town, and a child his age- regardless of his status and race- has all the right to grow afraid and apprehensive after waking up in a city such as Discedo.
"Ouuu! Where am I!?" Almost instantly, his volume shoots up several notches, and his chilled frame flings into the air, arms and legs waving about madly. Never mind that about him is the looming darkness and potential predators - his flailing is a very important factor in receiving answers.
Or not.
Strange, it tends to work with Kiyomaro- Oh, wait, no it doesn't.
Several moments later, he finds that no one has answered his calls aside from a few snaps of rusted material and that his nerves have almost completely left him. In simple terms, the king-to-be is absolutely terrified. With a wild, racing imagination, the entire city magnifies in ferociousness and grotesqueness, and he finds his feet quickly taking him far away from where he first woke.
"Oh, oh, ohhhhhhhh! Nuuuu. It’s scary!" He breathes, the air leaving him fast and heavy as he races along, desperately trying to find something that at least he thought looked familiar. The loud rumbling that sounds when he tries to hide in a container of some-sort terrifies him far more than Clear Note’s dead eyes ever have; however, in the corner of his mind, he sums up that finding Naomi would have been far more heart-attack-inducing.
"Kiyomaro! Kiyo...MAROOOOOOOOOOO!"
Louder than ever, the boy speeds away from the source of his discomfort and into the unknown.
"UUUU! UNU! HEEEEEELP! ANYONEEEEEEEEEE!"
First-Person Sample:
Unu? What is this thing? "Use this"? It's not some kind of- Ohhhh! I bet it's a secret agent's radio! How cool! "Hello. Can anyone hear me? Hello. I am Secret Agent Gash. My partner Secret Agent Vulcan is here with me, as well." Ahahaha!
Hmmm.... But what's it doing here? This sure is a scary place for it to be in. Nuuu. Then again, those kinds of people brave lots of places. That's why they're so amazing! Like Kamakiri Joe, only they wear sunglasses and black suits!
I bet Kiyomaro would think- Ouuu. That's right. Kiyomaro isn't here, is he? -- Ah! But I'll find a way back home, I just know it!
After all, I can't give up now, not when everyone's training hard! I must believe in what I can do.
Isn't that right, Vulcan?
"T-H-A-T I-S C-O-R-R-E-C-T."
