Cecil is at a height of 5'10 and a weight of 128 pounds making him a very slim and in shape person. Though one of the most remarkable things about Cecil in his shifter form is his blue eyes. As it is said that Cecil's eyes are as blue as the sea. And though this does not fit with Cecil being a demon to most people, as it is said that Cecil's eyes remind them of holiness in the world. Though this is thought the be something ironic in the eyes of Cecil. Because not only is he a demon, but a demon that controls the elements of darkness making him something very far from being holy.

» Personality:
Cecil is modest and quite shy to those around him, having difficulty showing his emotions to others. His most remarkable traits are his bravery and firm beliefs. Towards his friends, Cecil is loyal and exceptionally forgiving, showing that he is able to even forgive those who betray him and end up working as his enemies. And though some take Cecil's forgiveness as weakness it is not. As Cecil forgives people so that they may have better chances of coming and helping him in his goals. And tho Cecil is shy around those around him, he does have those moments where he is the life of the party. As he can become loud and outspoken when he feels that the time calls for it. Like when Cecil feels that he needs to voice his opinion to those around him.

And though Cecil seems like the weak and innocent one to most people when he is first met, this is not true. As Cecil is a man filled with darkness all the way down to his heart. Though Darkness does consume Cecil he is bent on trying to make sure that the darkness in himself does not manage to control him and turn him into a monster. As Cecil feels that their is good in everybody even himself a man that has done many terrible things in his day. And so because of this Cecil always try's to find the better things of the world. As he does not see a point in only seeing the bad things of the world.

As Cecil feels that every single little thing has some good in it. Whether these things be war and chaos, or just strait blood shed. Cecil feels that their is still some good in all of these things. Because Cecil feels that chaos can bring out the better things of the world and help to solve things just as war and bloodshed. Because death can be a good thing when those that deserve to die are the ones to die. As well as the fact that it can get rid of the weak and sick. Because Cecil feels that no person should have to suffer being weak or sick in this world, as it will most likely on lead to even more problems for them. As it can make them targets for the stronger. And Cecil feels that War can be one of the most beautiful things in the world.

As war to Cecil can fix many problems as well as change the world into a better place. Even though war does tend to end with death of hundreds of people that should have not died. It also has the same possibility of ending with the death of hundreds of people that did deserve to die. As Cecil feels that those that are weak, un loyal, or just un deserving of leaving on this world should die. But Cecil also knows that he is not one of the greater powers of the world, and so he has no choice to decide who deserves to live and die. Though Cecil has no problem killing those he feels deserve to die even if what he is doing is the wrong choice.

Though Cecil can seem evil and twisted to some, he is a very decent person. As unlike a good amount of demons he does not go around causing unneeded blood shed. As Cecil only kills when he feels it is needed as he is a demon that never kills for fun now days. As Cecil has grown up from his time as a child and feels that the world has changed since the time he was a young demon. Because as Cecil grew up he started to follow Chivalry and become a true knight like he was trained to be. Because of this Cecil is one who protects those that cant protect themselves. Cecil is also one who always keeps his fate in Touketsu the Demon king, and will never turn his back on a foe.

Though Cecil tends to be calm and mind his own business and not bother anyone, their are certain things that can tick him off. One of the main things that can piss Cecil off is talking about the Demon Lord Touketsu or the demon world in a bad way. As Cecil takes pride and honor for his home and kind very seriously. Other things that can piss Cecil off is talking about his family, as he does not truly know much about his mother and father. But the biggest thing that can tick Cecil off is disrespecting the art of the sword and the Honor of a Knight. Tho Cecil understands that everyone may not agree with using swords to fight or following the code of Chivalry. He does not take it well when people disrespect it.

This is because Cecil feels that every person should find something that suits them as no way of fighting is truly wrong. Though Cecil does not like the way some people choose to fight. As he would never hide in the shadows and try and attack a opponent from behind as he feels that it is disrespectful to ones opponent. As a true Knight should only fight their opponents head on like a true warrior. This is because every single person deserves a chance to defend their life. But Cecil also knows that he has no right to call another persons way of fighting wrong. As that same person may see his way of fighting wrong just the same as he does theirs. So because of this Cecil thinks nothing is wrong though some may not agree with it. And because of this Cecil feels that none should talk bad about how someone else does something.

Cecil is also a intelligent person having had many fights and studied many strategies he is easily able to come up with battle plans as well as figure them out. This has allowed for Cecil to become a exceptional leader in a battle. As Cecil is one who can easily keep his focus even when things get ruff. Because of this Cecil is a excellent warrior to through into the heat of battle. As he is easily able to command his troops and not lose his cool as well as work hard to try and keep his troops rallied up as well. As Cecil knows that if the moral of his troops goes under then he might as well retreat. As Cecil is one who can easily tell when a fight is lost and it it time to retreat so that he may live to fight another day.

» History
Cecil was born to two noble demons named Kluya and Cecilia. Cecil's father was killed before he was born, and his mother died in labor. This would be the beginning to a very horrible childhood for Cecil. As Cecil was now stuck in a world without his parents and his only brother did not want to be stuck raising him. So Cecil was sent of to a special school that was bent on training Demons for the greater good of the Demon world and Shadow Fall. Since once Cecil finished this school he would instantly be able to join the ranks of Shadow Fall as a seated officer. Though at the time Cecil did not enjoy being in this school. As the only two friends he had were Kain and Rosa. And though the three were not that much alike and Kain and Cecil always wanted to rip each others heads off they were the three beast friends.

And through the help of his friends Cecil was able to cope with the fact that he did not have any parents and that his brother did not want to raise him. So Cecil trained harder and harder each and every day so that he would be able to join the ranks of Shadow Fall once he finished the school. But the school was only the beginning of Cecil's journey. At the age of thirteen Cecil, Kain, and Rosa would all be split up. As they were each sent to a different school's. These schools would help in the training of them to be soldiers of Shadow Fall. Though each school trained its students in different ways they all were still a part of the Shadow Fall training system. Though Cecil was not happy with what was happening at first as he was now losing the only two people left in the world, he knew that he had no choice but to except it if he ever wanted to become a high ranked member of Shadow Fall.

Though Cecil had a hard time adjusting to this knew training school he was sent to, as it was unlike his first school. Cecil would soon start to get adjusted to the fact that he lost his friends and that he must only focus on training and reaching his goal. This way he would be able to join the ranks of Shadow Fall and get his brother back for sending him off to the Academy in the first place. As while Cecil was stuck training to be a soldier his brother was living the life of a noble demon. Cecil would soon come to get his unique demon abilities through his hatred towards his brother for sending him away. Though his powers were a very strange one that tended to scare a lot of the other demons at the school. But Cecil did not care. He only wanted to train and perfect his powers so that he could get his brother back.

Though Cecil was dangerous and violent as he usually lashed out at the other students as well as some of the teachers. Their was one teacher that Cecil could not scare. This man went by the name a Baron, as he was one of the top teachers here at the academy and a very powerful demon. He would also be the one to tame Cecil and teach him about chivalry. Baron would also teach Cecil that even though he had the power of darkness it did not mean he himself was a dark person. And because of this Cecil toned himself down before he became his own self destruction. Cecil would also take Baron as his teacher, who would soon teach him about the art of the sword and other weapons that knights used. This way Cecil could become a true warrior and be a good one that fought for the people and not against them.

Soon Cecil would finish the academy and leave to join the ranks of Shadow Fall, but Cecil decided that he did not want start as a ranked member like he was able to. So Cecil started from the bottom of the ranks just being a regular solider for the Army of the Demon world. But luckily Cecil was not alone, as his old friend and teacher Baron had decided to come and join with Cecil. These two would then become one of the greatest team that the Shadow Fall would ever see until a fatal Battle where Baron was killed. This would be a devastating time for Cecil as he would once again lose another person that he cared about. And unable to deal with the pain Cecil went on a rampage killing all those that even looked at him funny. This would get Cecil sent away to an army base were Cecil would be able to learn to control himself until he was able to return to the rest of the army.

» Natural Abilities:[i]
Sword Skills: Cecil was trained by a master of the sword to become a devastating foe when it came to dealing with the art of swords. This is because Cecil has focused a lot of his powers and abilities on using his sword so that he can be an even deadlier opponent. As Cecil feels that by adding things like his Demon Magic and Darkness abilities to his sword attacks it will make it harder for some opponents to dodge or block the attack as well as possible be a nasty surprise to them. As they may not be suspecting what comes with the sword attack.

Intense Speed: Cecil focuses using his speed with his sword skills so that the he can quickly finish opponents as well as the fact that Speed is a big thing to Cecil's way of fighting. As if Cecil does not use his speed and finish the battle soon. As well as the fact that Cecil uses his speed to make sure that those foes that he does feel should die can not get away from him. Since he speed allows for him to keep up with them and not let them escape the fate that he hopes to bring them.

High Pain Threshold: Cecil has a very high threshold for pain as he tends to inflict pain on himself so that he may learn to take pain and so his powers may become stronger this way he is able to increase his endurance during fights. And because of this Cecil has become able to take high amounts of pain and keep fighting as though it was nothing.

Skill with Magic: Though it may seem weird to some that Cecil is one that is very good when it comes to demon magic, it is all because Cecil has come to infuse his Demon Magic with his sword fighting so that he can do an even greater range of attacks and effects on his opponent. As when using his Demon Magic and Darkness ability's he is able to add a extra twist to his attacks so that his opponents cant always expect what is coming next when Cecil attacks.

» Unique Abilities: [i]
Darkness Manipulation: Cecil is able to control darkness something he himself was once filled with. As Cecil can create, control, manipulate, materialize and summon darkness in various ways through using his energy. Though Darkness is more than just shadows. Darkness is its own element an energy like no others. This is because The Dark element is a tainted element that unlike other elements is one that drains those that it hits. Ex: If one were to send out a blast of dark energy the one that was hit by it would not only feel the pain of the attack but also have some of their energy instantly taken away. As the Dark element is just like pure energy but the fact that it is also able to drain those that it hit. Cecil has also come to use solidify his dark energy making it into weapons and other things. Note: The shadows are also a part of darkness as Cecil could use the shadows to attack and they would have the same effect as the darkness element.

Dark Elements: Due to Cecil being tainted with the dark element, he was able to harness it into the other elements of Fire, Water, and Lightning. But unlike their normal elements these elements are tainted and each have their own effect that can be more devastating then their normal or holy counter parts. This is because they do not always have the exact same effects as the other elements. Ex: Black Lightning is more destructive then normal lightning as it has more force, but it does not do as much electrical damage to its targets. This makes the elements somewhat different though for the most part they are still the same. As the main difference is just that black lightning is tainted unlike regular lightning. Cecil has master control over the darkness and its elements as he keeps his mind focused so that the darkness may not take him over again. Because of this Cecil has become able to do monstrous things with the darkness. As Cecil could easily convert the natural element of water to dark water. Ex: If Cecil were to come upon a lake by touching the water with his darkness it would turn to dark water, he can also do this with fire (as long as it is not someones personal fire). Now through Cecil's master control over the dark elements he is able to not only covert elements to the dark elements but produce and manipulate them himself. Cecil could easily breath out dark fire or dark water. As well as call upon dark lightning from the sky, or even make it rain dark water for a short amount of time.

Dark Fire: Dark fire is the tainted flames of hell, also known as Hell fire. These flames are far more intense than normal flames, and can almost incinerate anything to the point of leaving absolutely no byproduct (not even ashes), and even smother normal fire and evaporate water used by that of lower tiers. Though unlike normal fire this fire takes on the color of Black for Cecil as their are other useers who use hell fire and it takes on colors like blue. Unlike regular fire Dark fire can have different properties and abilities, such as causing excruciating pain upon contact instead of burning. This allows for the fire to harm those that are resistant to burns. Another property of the fire is to be used for relatively beneficial purposes, such as summoning spirits of the deceased temporarily back to the world of living from Hell. With enough power Dark flames could even do Reanimation or Resurrection via Summoning the damned and/or Demons.

Black Lightning: Black lightning is another one of the tainted elements that Cecil has come to learn and use. Black lightning has most of the effects of regular lighting but is not focused on effects of shocking its targets. As black lightning hits with more force then regular lighting giving it a higher destructive power. Because of focusing more on force than the effects to shock and electrocute people, black lightning has become more of a brute force element. Ex: A person were to get hit in the arm by lightning their is a more possibility of nerve damage and palatalization to the arm as compared to black lightning. Because if one were to get hit in the arm by black lightning their would be a higher chance of the bone being completely shattered than the person having nerve damage. This is just because of the force of the tainted lightning compared to that of the normal lightning.

Dark Water: Dark water is the tainted version of water, and unlike its normal part it is way more deadly. This is because unlike regular water dark water touches those it comes in contact with on touch. This makes it deadly to be around as those who touch it will instantly be burned if they are not able to find some way to block the effects. Ex: A person with a higher tier then Cecil could easily use their reishi and reiatsu to block the attacks. Or if they have some ability that could also work in blocking the burn. But dark water does more then just burn on touch. As once a person is touched by dark water they are tainted. And they will then start to slowly lose energy unless they are able to heal their dark energy that is now flowing in their body. Ex: The easiest and most simple way to heal dark energy is to have someone use holy energy on you to heal the tainted energy. Some can just wait it out as over time the dark energy will be released from the body as the body fights it out, but the lower tier of the person fighting it the longer it will take and the more dangerous it could be. Dark Water being the fact that it is tainted also has the ability to holy barriers and seals made by people of a lower tier then Cecil. As well as the fact that Dark water unlike regular water that helps plants grow does not. If any plants are hit by dark water they will start to die.

Deathbringer: Deathbringer is a special part of Cecil, it is a sword that is made up from Cecil's darkness and has overtime come one with him. This is because Deathbringer is connected to Cecil like a Zanpakutō is to a Shinigami. Though Deathbringer is slightly different then a Zanpakutō. First being the fact that Deathbringer is a part of Cecil's body. This allows for Cecil to be able to carry around the sound without it being seen as he is easily able to pull the sword out of his body. Now unlike a Zanpakutō Deathbringer does not have his own spirit as Deathbringer is completely connected to Cecil. This is because like a Zanpakutō Deathbringer is a part of Cecil's soul. To be exact Deathbringer is all of the hatred and darkness that once filled Cecil's heart. As through the training and help of Baron Cecil was able to do an old school demon method and make a weapon that was one with themselves.

Spoiler:

Souleater: Cecil will gather the energy around him and let it out in a big wave or blast of dark energy. By concentrating the energy into a blast he is able to send out a black inferno blast of dark energy. This will make the inferno blast even more deadly as it will proceed to take energy away from the person that is hit by this blast as well as inflicting pain to them as though it were a regular black inferno blast. Now if Cecil were to choose to let it out in a wave of energy it would hit everyone in a 3 meter diameter of Cecil meaning that it could possible even hit Cecil's allies. Though ether way Cecil goes about using the ability it still has one drawback. In order to do the attack and gather up enough dark energy without having to charge the attack Cecil inflects damage to himself. So by doing the attack Cecil also slightly hurts himself, though this not much pain. Note: Souleater can only be done once a post and has a 1 post cool down.

Blackblade: Deathbringer will start to turn black as Cecil holds it in his hand this is do to the transferring of the black lightning into the blade. This will then allow for Cecil to increase the damage he does with the use of his blade. As each time his swings the blade he will be able to send out a wave of devastating black lightning as well as the force of his blade is not increased meaning that he could easily cut through materials that he would not be able to do so otherwise. As the force of the black lightning is in the blade and when swung the blade uses that force to increase its power. This is one of Cecil's hidden tricks with his sword. As not all people notice that the blade is being charged with the power of the black lightning, as they do not realize that the force of the lightning will make the blade even stronger. Note: This can only be used for 3 post at a time then Cecil will have to wait 2 post before he is able to recharge the blade with lightning

Cloak of Darkness: Cecil will let out some of his darkness. This will then start to cover the area around Cecil, as everything in a 10 meter diameter of Cecil will be covered in darkness. This will now allow for Cecil to hide from opponents. As well as it gives him a boost in speed due to his demon seals. But this is not the point of the cloak of darkness. Since the cloak is made of dark energy the longer people stay in it the more their energy will start to be drained. Though this is a slow draining process overtime it is able to drain a lot of energy from those that get stuck in it. Though some people may be able to counter the draining effect by using their own energy to stop it, as those with a higher tier could easily do. Were as some people may be able to just use abilities that stop its effects. (This Ability only last for 5 post with a 3 post cool down before Cecil can use it again. )
