Masakaki the Mad Hatter [APPROVED, 1-3+]

✦Name✦ Masakaki
✦Titles✦
☨ Mad Hatter | Mad Hatter, an alias given to Masakaki due to a combination of things. Said things being his Madness based abilities, in addition to his unique way of dress.
✦Age✦ Unknown
✦Gender✦ Male
✦Affiliation✦ Shadow Fall
✦Rank✦ Grand Duke of the 4th Circle

✦Demonic Energy✦
☨ Primary Appearance | The primary appearance of Masakaki's demonic energy resembles that of a nebula in space. The mass of whites, golds, pinks, and purples seem to create a gassy, cloud-like look, almost identical to some amazingly beautiful nebula. Overall the demonic energy appears much more beautiful and wondrous rather than deadly. See the app background for an example.
☨ Madness Influenced | Upon becoming influenced by Madness, whether it be his own, his abilities, or another beings, Masakaki's demonic energy takes on a whole different appearance. Once the influence has begun the demonic energies of Masakaki begin to create odd patterns within itself, in addition to the darkening of most, if not all colors that make it up. Additionally this is when Masakaki's demonic energy 'awakens' so to speak, signified by the mass amount of eyes that seem to open within the demonic energy of this demon. An example of this, while not the same, would be Kishin Asura from Soul Eater and his own Madness aura. Aside from that brief example here is another reference: Link.

✦Shifter Appearance✦ Masakaki has no Shifter Appearance. Instead he prefers to always change various aspects of his being whenever needed, such as hair color, eye color, etc.
✦True Appearance Written✦ Masakaki's true appearance is that of an odd looking male whom stands at a height of six foot two inches. The male has eerily white skin, almost to the point of being albino white. Which in addition too his odd purple-pink hair and golden eyes, does quite well to stand out. Overall the males build appears to be that of a taller, lankier person whom would possess smaller but denser muscle mass.

Masakaki can generally be seen wearing a black top hat, which appears to have golden 'M's as a part of the fabric. In addition to the hat Masakaki tends to wear more dressy, business suited, or formal clothing which makes him look like an unique salesmen of sorts. Generally though the male wears a black suit, blue shirts, pinks socks and scarf, and a pair of long pointed black shoes. Oh and don't forget his white gloves, nor his cane which is topped with a depiction of King Midas.
✦True Appearance Picture✦ See header above. Or see this picture for reference.


✦Personality✦
☨ Cheerful | Masakaki seems to always have some sort of smile upon his face. Such a thing is quite eerie, as is the way that the Demon seems to always be cheerful, playful, or happy in some sense. It's actually not that often you see Masakaki being something that isn't some variant of cheerful, joyful, etc. The Demon seems to always be invading others space, popping up unexpectedly quite frequently, and always in the same joyful manner. The Demon also enjoys his fair share of pranks.

☨ Greedy | Whether it comes to money, or actual possessions Masakaki is extensively greedy. The demon loves money, whether it has to do with possessing it, controlling it, or anything of the sort. If it has to do with money Masakaki will find a way to be involved. The same could be said when it comes to possessions. Whether its a vehicle, a house of sorts, or really anything unique, fancy, and expense, the Demon will likely posses it, or have possessed it at some point. An example of this would be his collection of cars which ranges from older models of Corvettes, Mustangs, Porches, to the newest models.

☨ Protective | When it comes to something that is his, or someone who has managed to worm their way close, Masakaki is extremely protective. Generally when something he feels protective of is targeted by something that period of time is one of those periods where the cheerful Masakaki completely vanishes. Instead in his place is a Masakaki whom has become irritated, angered, and more vulnerable too his madness. This is a side of Masakaki that can actually be quite fearsome to face.

☨ Utterly Insane | Although it can't be seen initially, unless looking deep into the golden eyes of Masakaki, the Demon is completely and utterly insane. This insanity is due to the constant contact with his own abilities, in addition to the drawbacks of utilizing them against a foe. Initially it had started small, growing more and more with every instance his abilities were used. Rage, knowledge, power, order, fear... All these aspects of madness dwell somewhere within Masakaki's psych, and each of them slowly effect him more and more, even those he has yet to begin tapping into ability wise. To truly understand the depths of Masakaki's madness one would need to pull said madness out, as Masakaki represses it as much as possible in order to continue functioning normally. One day though the building madness that eats away at his psych will take over completely.


✦Natural Abilities✦
☨ "Don't Blink" Speed | To put it bluntly Masakaki's speed is absolutely ridiculous. The Demon's physical speed is his greatest quality outside of his unique abilities, having built it up extensively due too his fascination with his own abilities, Za Koa, and Demon Magic. After-all what use is a magic and energy based specialist when they lack the speed to move about the battlefield as well as staying out of harms way in a fight. If one were to try and compare Masakaki's speed too that of a car such a comparison wouldn't even be fair. Why? Because Masakaki is faster. Such is this beings speed that it's likely only higher tiered foes can keep track of him, and even then it may be tough for them. The closest description possible for Masakaki's speed is teleportation due to the fact that his speed does not break the sound barrier and thus hasn't reached Mach speed.. Yet his speed is not teleportation, it's all natural, all him. As such if one blinks when facing Masakaki they may very well miss even seeing the Demon launch an attack.

☨ Astounding Weapon Skill| Given his choice of what appears to be a cane most would think this Demon possesses little or no weapon skills. Unfortunately for such believers they would be horribly wrong. Despite his specialty not being in the field of weaponry the Demon did not allow that to prevent his obtainment of high level skills. A brief example of his skills would be the ability to slice clean through a building with his cane, without damaging it, nor reinforcing it with any energies. The Demon's skill has even reached a point in which he is capable of wielding anything, as any type of weapon he has knowledge of. An example of this would be his finding a steel pipe upon the ground and wielding it just as well as he would his cane, or an actual blade. Or how about slicing through the foundation of a bridge with nothing but a mop and some reinforcement via demonic energy. At the end it all boils down to one thing. Masakaki has enough skill within the field of weaponry the he could ward off even Masters of the field with nothing but his cane, albeit the Master would eventually win the fight.

☨ Above Average Durability | While he doesn't possess the best durability the Demon does still have a better than average ability to take hits, and even take said hits with somewhat less injury than expected. Unfortunately Masakaki's durability doesn't go much farther than being able to survive going through a few buildings, survive, and depending on the strength of his foe get back into the fight, or lay there in the rubble.

☨ Average Strength | Due to favoring other skills over his physical skills Masakaki's strength is somewhat lacking. While not dreadfully strong, like obliterate a building in a punch strong, the Demon does still posses significant strength thanks to his vast use of various weapons, in addition to any natural strength. Putting it sweet and short Masakaki is capable of putting a hole in a steel reinforced wall when focusing more on strength rather than technique or speed.

☨ Za Koa | Initially when combating Masakaki most would believe that the Demon is quite dangerous simply due to his unique abilities, his speed, and his weapon skill. Those people would have the misfortune in that they are both correct and incorrect in such an observation. What such people would not know is that Masakaki possesses skills that surpass the previously mentioned skills. Skills that allow him vast capabilities when compared too whats already available to him. The first of these would be Za Koa Skill, the ability to manipulate the energies of the Core of Demon Magic, or Za Koa. Using this energy Masakaki is capable of not only utilizing Demon Magic, but also utilizing the other various abilities that Za Koa would grant him. Such abilities would be Za Koa Influence, Reiatsu Drain, Black Inferno Blast, and so on. Due to the vast versatility and power of Za Koa it is one of the skills Masakaki has actually taken the time to bring above all others, even beyond his current skill with Demon Magic.

☨ Za Koa's Influence | Utilizing Za Koa Masakaki is able to spread the energy over quite the sizable battlefield, thus tainting the surrounding area, and granting the Demon the upper hand. Aside from generally tainting the area the Za Koa Influence also allows Masakaki to do things such as bring the area into sudden darkness, allow an easier spreading of his Madness based abilities, and other various things. Typically though Za Koa's Influence grants Masakaki quite the sizable boost in his abilities such as overall strength, speed, reaction time, endurance, boosting his own abilities, and so on. Said boost is roughly three times that of what his base skills are, and this is despite having yet fully tapped into Za Koa's Influence.

☨ Environmental Knowledge | Likely the most trained trait of spreading Za Koa's Influence due to Masakaki's fascination with knowledge. Knowing just how useful this skill was, plus his craving for knowledge, led Masakaki to pushing this skills as far as he currently could. As such the Demon receives feedback from absolutely everywhere his Za Koa's Influence spreads, whether it be through the ground, buildings, air, etc. Doing so allows the Demon to detect a multitude of things such as hidden barriers, seals, spiritual beings, specific levels of spiritual energy, and so on. Though as anyone knows, knowing something about a foe, and defeating them is a totally different story. Despite this Masakaki continues to train this skill, among his others.

☨ Black Inferno Blast | Black Inferno is a massive burst of destructive energy a demon can unleash if they have Adept or higher on Za Koa. It starts by gathering energy from Za Koa along with the Demon's Blood and any type of darkness. From there, it will form into a ball of darkness that can be used to unleash serious damage upon anything it hits; resulting in a black explosion that is similar to a cero in destruction and can be broken down like a bala as well. Though, unlike a cero or bala, The Black Inferno Blast does alot more then just simply explode. When it explodes, if trapped within the blast, the opponent will begin to feel extreme amounts of heat generating from their skin; so hot, in fact, some believe they are actually on fire from the strain on a person's will. However, this does more then that. That's simply the sign of a dangerous demon parasite entering a person's body. If a direct contact is made or even partial contact, there will be a strong rush of parasites, demon magic and Za Koa's force entering a person's body. From that point, over the course of five post if there was a direct hit or three for a indirect, this will begin to heavily tax an opponent. It will force them to drain extreme amounts of energy until they are somewhat weakened, slowed or damaged if they are unable to extract it from there bodies.

It should also be noted that Masakaki is capable of influencing B.I.B with his Madness Aspects.

☨ Kage Chōkyō-shi | Kage Chōkyō-shi is the ability for most demons with adept Za Koa users to travel through different dimensions, travel throughout the battlefield or even use it for defense. By channeling Za Koa's energy in addition to the various seals throughout their body in addition to their Shadow Movement, they are able to create many different holes in the area's around them that can range from small to extra large depending on their Za Koa skill. These can lead to other realms, can be used to shield against attacks if they are not more powerful then the demon and be used on the offensive by attempting to create these holes to slice someone's head off.

Aside from Za Koa's Influence this ability is perhaps one that fascinated Masakaki the most. The question is why? And the answer is quite simple. Masakaki craved to be faster. To be untouched in combat. Something most, if not all energy focused combatants wish for. The thing that pushed Masakaki to learn this ability was his already astounding levels of speed, and his abilities with Shadow Movement. The Demon's thoughts were around the basis that with this he could become even faster than he already was, and quite honestly he wasn't wrong. Aside from utilizing this ability for actual attacks, defense, the Demon begun combining its use with his natural speed, thus allowing him to reach seemingly impossible speeds upon the battlefield. When combined with this skill the Demon is capable of launching exponentially more attacks in a few moments than he normally would be able to. Additionally when utilizing this in combination with his natural speed the Demon is capable of attaining speeds bordering the territory of Grand Masters, if not encroaching upon it to a degree.

☨ Demon Magic | Demon Magic is Masakaki's second greatest strength, despite his lack of using it in battle. The Demon possesses knowledge of a vast amount of Demonic spells, including ones he isn't even able to utilize, or utilize yet in some cases. Now while the Demon doesn't always showcase his skills with Demon Magic it isn't to say he doesn't use it. In fact he quite often utilizes it with his cane when needing to increase its effectiveness. Additionally he has created two of his own abilities based off of Demonic Magic.

☨ Illusive Dance of Madness | The Illusive Dance of Madness is the result of a combination of Demon Magic, Speed, and Masakaki's Madness abilities. Combining these things has resulted in what some call an eerie dance, others call it random movement, either way it works. When used Masakaki appears to vanish before appearing in a multitude of locations at once, each different Masakaki moving about, whether it be dodging, striking, or simply flickering around the battlefield. Of course in this little dance there is only a single real Masakaki, all others are simply illusions that appear to be perfectly real, even the feeling of physical contact is there. The astounding result of this illusion based movement is thanks to both the demonic magic, and Masakaki's abilities. The demonic magic allows Masakaki to literally teleport from one location to another in rapid succession, while Masakaki's abilities are what makes the illusionary versions of himself seem so lifelike.

☨ Gaze of Insanity | Gaze of Insanity is an ability based around Masakaki's capabilities with Demon Magic, and his unique abilities. Essentially if Masakaki were to utilize this and capture someones gaze directly with his golden eyes(which will have obtained an ethereal gold/pink glow) he is able to then cause them to descend into an illusion that focuses solely on them. Said illusion is simply a world of endless eyes, Masakaki's own eyes to be exact. From there the foe will slowly be immersed in the varying aspects of Madness, slowly causing a deterioration of their mind, and sometimes death. In order for this ability to take hold the following conditions must be met: The foe must hold Masakaki's gaze for more than a few seconds. The foe must also have a weaker willpower, focus, and mental deduction than Masakaki. Finally this will not work on a foe who hasn't been worn out in battle. I.e if Masakai were to use this on a fresh opponent it will not work, and may even backlash upon him.

☨ Shadow Movement | Masakaki's skill with Shadow Movement seemed to come hand in hand with his natural speed. As one grew so did the other. Beyond the simple benefits of crossing great distances at a highs speed Shadow Movement also grants demon-kind a temporary boost of intense speed called "Shadow Burst", which if Masakaki were to only have adept would double his speed. This would also transition into how fast his attacks were created, or thrown, in addition too increasing reaction time, and so on. Although not yet display, it is assumed by some that Masakaki possesses an advanced understanding of Shadow Movement. Essentially the stronger this skill were to become, the greater the effect, and the potential.

☨ Minor Body Manipulation | Although a natural ability of Demon-kind Masakaki has yet to really tap into its potential, essentially causing the skill to stagnate aside from its minimal use. Said minimal use is simply the odd change in his physical features, or the odd time of rearranging organs.

✦Unique Abilities✦
☨ Madness Aura | The Madness Aura is an ability of Masakaki's that granted him both power and a curse. Firstly the curse, which was madness itself and an intimate understanding of the five aspects. Secondly was the power itself. Masakaki now possessed the ability to project his madness beyond his being thus allowing him to affect, or infect others with it. Eventually the ability grew to the strength that Masakaki was able to begin manipulating the Aspects of Madness, though he's yet to fully tap into them. In addition to manipulation the aspects Masakaki had also become able to physically manifest his madness in forms such as barriers around him, or energy like blast, or even created a temporary physical weapon that would infect the foe when a wound was inflicted. Finally due too this ability Masakaki is capable of becoming more powerful in the presence of others whom have delved into the depths of madness, though when this occurs the Aspects tend to affect the Demon more than usual.

☨ Aspects of Madness | Aspects of Madness is an ability that allows Masakaki to affect the five different views on how a person is driven insane. This ability while possessing potential for extreme power over a beings psych is also quite dangerous for Masakaki himself. This is because every time Masakaki delves into one of the five aspects he himself is also affected by the aspect, just not too the extent the foe would be effected. An example of this would be fear, lets say he inflicted a foe with enough fear to induce a heart attack. Masakaki himself would also fear an amount of said fear, though it may only be enough to make him twitchy, jumpy, or even a bit panicky. While the effects aren't always immediately obvious they will eventually have a heavy impact upon Masakaki's own psych, beyond the damage they have already done, if he does not further harden his will and mental fortitude. It should be noted that some aspects may affect a foe better than another might, while all aspects impact Masakaki equally.

Aside from the initial drawbacks of this ability there are also a few others. In order for the foe to be effected by the ability the must be in range of Masakaki's Madness Aura. In addition to this Masakaki cannot rapidly utilize one aspect and then another, nor can he repeatably use them beyond certain limits. Said limits are as follows: Masakaki can only utilize two individual aspects per post, and he can only use the aspects for a span of ten posts before they begin to become too taxing upon him. Once the ten post limit is reached Masakaki may need anywhere from 5 to twenty posts before utilizing the aspects once again. Finally it should be noted that Masakaki can only utilize the first two aspects while the final three possess specific requirements.

☨ Aspect of Fear | Utilizing the Aspect of Fear Masakaki essentially becomes Fear itself. When used the Demon is capable of bringing ones worst fears to life before them by utilizing the aspect in combination with his demonic energies. Such is the intensity of the illusion wrought by Masakaki that very few ever realize their trapped in an illusion, let alone manage to escape it. The requirements for such would be a greater mental deduction, focus, and willpower. Or simply being someone whom has enough spiritual energy to simply shatter the illusion(an example being Masakaki @ 2-3 vs a 1-4-). In addition to bringing ones fears too life Masakaki can also cause someones fear of something to grow stronger while under the effects of this aspect. Essentially this aspect is about defeating someone by creating their worse fears, manipulating current fears, creating new ones, etc. Fighting such an ability is all about ones willpower, determination, and their ability to deduce reality from illusion.

☨ Aspect of Rage | The Aspect of Rage is all about just that. Rage. Utilizing this Aspect allows Masakaki to not only tap into existing rage, but also create a 'seed' of rage within a being. Similar to the Aspect of Fear this Aspect also requires the combined use of Masakaki's demonic energy. From there Masakaki is able to do as much as either subtly, or suddenly affecting those who hold rage/anger/hatred within them. Simply put Masakaki is able to heighten someones anger, which could then cause them to become a mindless berserker. By manipulating the feelings of rage within someone Masakaki is able to cause said rage to become stronger, weaken, last longer, and even cause some physical enhancements due to immense levels of adrenaline rushing through the body.

An example of how this abilities works would be as follows: A group of Hollow have fallen to the influence of Masakaki's Aspect of Rage. From there Masakaki is able to either plant seeds of rage, or cause existing rage to grow. Upon doing so, depending on how much the rage is increased, it is possible for Masakaki to essentially turn his foes against each other; essentially turning them into rage controlled beasts.

In order to fight off the Aspect of Rage the requirements are similar to the Aspect of Fear. A greater Willpower, determination, and mental deduction will allow those of greater mind to fight off this ability. Additionally those with greater spiritual energies can flood their system, and potentially halt the effects of this ability. Aside from this those who feel no anger, hatred, or rage of any sort can be found to be immune to this ability: Though this means they must have absolutely no trace of rage within them.

Beyond these capabilities Masakaki is also able to enhance his own capabilities with this Aspect. The downside of doing so though is that Masakaki becomes more vulnerable to his own Madness & its aspects. This is before considering the drawback of forcing his muscles to expand and strengthen beyond their normal limits. Essentially this aspect is capable of granting Masakaki immense strength in return for deteriorating his mental capabilities, and the injuries suffered from forcibly expanding his muscle mass.

✦Yet to be Obtained/Completed✦
☨ Aspect of Order | The Aspect of Order will only be filled out if/when Masakaki reaches a tier of 0-3. This is in addition to a requirement of at least Master level Willpower, Focus, and Mental Deduction. These requirements are in addition to the drawbacks this aspect will possess.

☨ Aspect of Knowledge | The Aspect of Knowledge requires the heaviest requirements aside from the Aspect of Power. First a tier of at least 0-3++ is required. Secondly there is the requirement of at least Master in both Willpower, and Focus. The third requirement is obtaining at least Master in both Za Koa Skill, and Demon Magic. And the final requirement is a Grand Master in Mental Deduction. These requirements are in addition to the drawbacks this aspect will possess. Once these requirements are met this ability will be filled out.

☨ Aspect of Power | This final aspect has the heaviest requirements in order to be obtained, let alone used. Firstly this aspect, when completed, will be EVENT ONLY. Secondly Masakaki will need to have obtained a tier of at least 0-2, if not 0-2+. Thirdly is the skill sheet requirements, which are perhaps heavier than the first two requirements. In the skills of Za Koa, Demon Magic, a level of Master is required. In the skills of Mental Deduction, Focus, and if possible Willpower(if not then only Master for Willpower); Grand Master. These requirements are in addition to the drawbacks this aspect will possess. Once these extremely heavy requirements are met then this ability will be filled out to completion.

Masakaki the Mad Hatter. A being whom no one knows of how long ago he came into existence, nor how he appeared in the world. Due to this many had assumed that the Demon whom suddenly arrived was linked to Deveta somehow. Whether or not they were correct has never been found out. All that is known for sure is that the Mad Hatter was most definitely a Demon, and he was now roaming the world. Since his appearance in the world the Mad Hatter has begun the journey to master his skills, and gain all knowledge he possibly can.

This craving for knowledge is what has led up to the Hatter pushing himself as hard as he has at this point in time. Always training, always learning, the Hatter has been living day by day finding ways to gain more power, more knowledge, and further his own abilities he already possesses.



The endless training, the pursuit of knowledge in every waking moment. This was only but a fraction of the madness within Masakaki the Mad Hatter. And it was only growing stronger. Everytime the Demon learnt something new, or furthered his own abilities, he pushed himself harder. Which resulted in pushing himself further into his own madness. Eventually the male realized such a thing was happening and from there decided to train his mental fortitude, and his will power. The Demon would not allow his madness to overcome him. He would prevail, he would master Za Koa, Demon Magic, himself, and his own abilities. And though he knew not, this was what began his current path to becoming madness itself. To this day the madness of Power, Knowledge, and Fear are what constantly push the Demon... And even with his understanding of himself, his madness, Demon Magic, and Za Koa, the unfortunate Demon has yet to realize what truly was the force behind his goals, his dreams, his ambitions.. His insanity.

Despite all his mental training the Demon had spent a vast period of time, in which he vanished from the word, in insanity. It took immense amounts of time, seasons changed, ages moved by, and even the land itself changed. Eventually Masakaki emerged from his solitude and insanity as a better being. The Demon had spent his time in solitude not only fighting his insanity, but also further mastering himself, his abilities, and the Demonic ways. Such as Za Koa's Influence, something that the Demon always had spread out while secluded, always aware, never resting. Over this period the Demon honed his skills, brought forth new ones, and continued to further himself. The Demon could, with pride, state that he was entering the realms of the Masters of Za Koa, Demon Magic, and themselves. In addition to this the demon could now state that he was heavily proficient with weaponry, such that he can utilize his own cane as well as any blade. Finally he honed his speed.. Knowledge, Magic, power.. it was all useless if one was too slow and died before they could do anything.
