Fears: Darc Lamort, hurting his friends

Strengths: Agatsuma is more than proficient in the art of swordsmanship. He wields the Demon Blade, which he had carried over with him when banished from his dimension. He is very strong willed and his physical abilities and strength can't be matched by the normal man. Another strength he holds but despises is his ability to change into a winged demon when he lets his anger control him. This demon is 4 times stronger than his normal state, and can move and dodge at incredible speeds.

Weakness: Agatsuma's greatest weakness is his intolerance for pain, courtesy of his curse. Even the slightest scratch could bring him to his knees if not for his ability to focus on another matter. He is also very stubborn, quiet, and becomes attached to people very easily, despite him saying otherwise. It is also very dangerous for him to become angry or else he is forced into his demon form. In demon form, he cannot control himself and he is very likely to harm even those closest to him.

Good Qualities: Very protective of those he cares about, excellent cook, superb swordsman

Bad Habits: Anti-social, quiet, clean freak, to the point, brutally honest

Turn Ons: With only one sexual encounter under his belt, Aga doesn't really know what turns him on.

Turn Offs: Same as above.

*Powers/Abilities/Talents: In demon form: able to fly, dodge and move in high speeds.

Temperament: If you saw him on the streets, Agatsuma would look like just another normal, anti-social guy living his day to day life. And in most areas, this is true, although his life is very different from the average persons. When he had first arrived in this dimension, he was very confused about how things worked and the way people acted. After awhile of careful observing, he learned alot. Now, when out and about, he acts just like any other guy. Hes polite when need be, keeps to himself, and rarely every talks to strangers.

Around his friends, hes nearly the same. Very quiet, only speaks when he thinks he needs to, and hes always very alert. Usually, hes better in one-on-one conversations. Although he can be very blunt, and honest to the point where someone could cry, he tries his best to think before he speaks in certain situations, always concerned about his friends.

Making him angry would be the worst possible thing you could do. He has no control over his actions or emotions while in demon form. While fighting in human form, he stays very alert, and calculates every future action very carefully.

Background: Agatsuma was born in the capital of Soushisoukomyou, destined to become the lead bodyguard to the high Priestess Miyu. He was taken from his parents as a baby and raised within the castle walls. After he reached the age of 5, he was forced to begin his training. Years passed with only one thing being forced into his mind: "you were born to protect the priestess, that is your only reason for existence." After mastering all the training provided, at the age of 13, he became the official Head Bodyguard to the Priestess, who, at that time, was 10 years of age. After many years by her side, they developed strong feelings for each other. While Agatsuma's feelings were more of "I was raised to protect her, I must not let her get hurt not matter what." Miyu had truly fallen in love with her bodyguard.

One night, she begged him to make love to her just once, and while Agatsuma was very reluctant, he did not want to make her sad. He would do anything to make her happy, even if he knew it was not going to end well. So, he did as she asked and stayed with her all night. Unfortunatly, that morning a slave that was bringing spare clothing for the priestess spotted them and hurriedly went to inform the Emporer.

He hastedly made his way to her room and burst through the doors.
“I will not have this, Miyu!” Kazuki was furious. To think his sister, a Priestess, was having such relationships. With her bodyguard, no less. It was clear to them both that he was not happy. “Brother, please…” Miyu whimpered. She had no idea how he had found out about her and Agatsuma. Agatsuma stayed kneeled on one knee with his head bowed. He only listened in silence, and knew this was not going to end well.

“Agatsuma, after all I have done for you, this is how you repay me?” Kazuki clenched his fists. Agatsuma kept his head bowed, but answered in a low voice. “I am sorry, Lord Kazuki. It is not as I wished it to be…” Kazuki only grunted in disgust.

“Miyu, I would expect you of all people to know better. I will not tolerate this insolence. Agatsuma, you should prepare yourself for the punishment you will receive. You have served me and protected Miyu well over the years, so I will not execute you. But do not expect your punishment to go lightly.”

“Brother, please, it is not Agatsuma’s fault! I am the one who wanted it, not him.” Miyu rushed toward her brother as he was leaving. As she grabbed his arm, he jerked away. “I will deal with you later.” the anger in his voice was clear.

With Kazuki gone, and guards posted at the door, Miyu struggled to hold her tears back. She stumbled over to a chair and sat down slowly. Agatsuma rose to his feet and walked over to the young priestess. “Do not cry, Priestess. I am sure your punishment will not be harsh.” he kept his distance from her, not wanting to cause anymore trouble. “How did he find out, Agatsuma? I didn’t tell him, and I know you didn’t. It must have been one of my servants.” she wiped her eyes, trying to think back to that night…

Agatsuma sighed. He didn’t know what was going to happen to him, but he was trying to prepare himself for the “punishment” he was going to receive. He hoped nothing bad would happen to the Priestess because of his stupidity. But he figured since it’s the Emperor’s sister, he wouldn’t do too much to harm her.

“Agatsuma, it is time to go.” a guard said as he stepped into the room. Agatsuma looked towards the man, took a deep breath, and turned towards Miyu.

“Do not worry about me…” he kneeled before her and took her hand. “…Miyu. Whatever happens to me, just remember, I want you to be happy.” he wiped her tears away, and smiled slightly for a moment before standing again. He started towards the door, heeding the guards words. He never looked back, even when he heard the priestess fall to her knees in tears. The door was closed behind them, and he was taken into the Emperor’s chambers.

Agatsuma walked into the center of the room. The Emperor was sitting on his throne, a look of hate was in his eyes. He stared at Agatsuma as he bowed to one knee. “I am here to accept my punishment, my lord.” Agatsuma felt the hate in the room. “I have decided your fate, Agatsuma.” Kazuki stood as he spoke, and waved his hand toward a man standing in the background. The man stepped forward, but Agatsuma kept his head lowered. “This is Sorcerer Asundef, he is a master of the magic arts.” he began. “He will be assisting me in this matter.” The sorcerer walked over to Agatsuma and silently requested him to rise to his feet. Agatsuma looked to Kazuki, who nodded in allowance of the request. Agatsuma rose to his feet. He kept his eyes towards the floor.

“Agatsuma,” Kazuki started as he walked over to the two men. “This sorcerer will place a curse on you, and you will be exiled from our world. You will be sent to another dimension and you will never be able to return here. The curse will see to that, among other things.” he placed a hand on Agatsuma’s shoulder, causing him to look up into his eyes. “Take comfort in my pity for you, Agatsuma. Perhaps you will learn from your mistakes.”

In the shadows, Miyu had snuck into the room, and was silently watching and listening. She tried hard to hold back her tears, she couldn’t stand what she was hearing. As the sorcerer summoned his magic, Kazuki backed away and returned to his throne. A red colored cloud surrounded Agatsuma, he only closed his eyes, accepting his fate. Miyu rushed forward in tears, pleading to her brother to let him go. Kazuki only ignored her.

“Agatsuma!” Miyu cried to him. He opened his eyes to see her, she was slowly blurring and fading away. “Wait for me, Agatsuma, I promise I will find you!” and then she was gone.

He awoke in a dark ally, trash swirling in the wind. Agatsuma looked up, tall buildings surrounded him, but he could still see the bright full moon in the sky. He stood up as he looked around. Nothing seemed familiar to him. Everything seemed so strange. Even the feel of the air was different. He took a deep breath. It was not going to be easy getting use to this new world. But he knew he had to try and survive…. Survive for Miyu.

~~~ 3 Years Later ~~~

He rushed over, dodging incoming attacks. Blades flew passed him, grazing his shoulder. He could feel the sharp pain of his flesh tearing, but he refused to let it slow him. He had finally made his way to Terra, a foolish Carnie Ring Mistress. He had taken out all her guards on the way, so he had nothing to worry about but her. And she was indeed nothing to worry about. He managed to dodge a Dark Blast she had fired at him, and was suddenly behind her. Within seconds, he shoved his sword through her stomach, and she fell to the ground in a pool of blood. He swished his sword in the air to get some of the blood off, then sheathed it as he calmly walked over to the safe, entered the combination and removed the papers from inside. He pocketed them and made his way out of the building to return to his contact.

This was how he lived now. Doing petty jobs for anyone that would pay him enough. He didn’t particularly enjoy killing, but if it had to be done, then so be it. He always refused to harm civilians, for the simple fact that it was meaningless to do so.

He learned quickly of the ways of this new world he was stranded in. The way people survived here baffled him. It seemed most were only concerned about making ‘money’, the currency of this world. Others were hopelessly obsessed with sex, or violence. It was indeed a strange place. Agatsuma watched and learned the speaking, eating, living habits of the people around him rather fast. People seemed to think of him as an ordinary antisocial, overly quiet guy. He didn’t seem to stand out in the crowd at all, which was good, he thought.

He was able to find jobs easily, after his first contact was through with him. The rumors spread quick of this lightning fast swordsman, and others were lining up to “hire” him. This was good, he made plenty of money to survive and was even able to buy a nice, as these people called it, studio apartment. It was strange to him at first, being able to eat, drink, sleep whenever he felt like it. Never having to listen to others order him around. No more sharing his room with others….

Somehow he liked it. But he still felt as if his life was meaningless without being able to protect the Priestess. 3 years have passed and still no sign. If only he could learn something of her whereabouts. Is she even in this world? Was Lord Kazuki’s punishment worse than he had thought? Or maybe she forgot about him already….. Maybe she got a new guardian, and has no need to seek him out. These thoughts rushed through his head often. The meaning of his life was somewhere lost in time….

Now he tries to live a "normal" life as he searches for the lost priestess.
