Personality: Takai is normally quite calm but if irritated and provoked, he can become cold, and irrational. Because of his true nature, there are times when he can be on the verge of snapping and transforming into his demon state. Takai trusts very few, he knows he is a creature from hell and many would like to put him back where he belongs. For the few that do earn his trust he will do anything to protect them. Takai strongly believes that no one should interfere with a demon's work. He has a way with words which can be used to his advantage when forming contracts.
Weapons: knives, kunai, occasionally a scythe.
Story/Bio: Takai grew up in a castle on the outskirts of darkness. His mother was a reaper, and his father a demon. His Father Sebastian was bound by contract to a higher authority at the castle, while his mother was transferred to another sect of the reapers, and was forced to move to another village. Takai was raised mostly by his father, and the local undertaker, when Sebastian needed to go on travel leave, little Takai was left with the man.
The undertaker was an interesting character, his fascination with death rubbed off on Takai and he soon found himself following the path of his father.
Takai’s first “contract” was to a little girl in the village. He found her crying in the forest, and offered to make her wish come true, but with a price of course...when the contract was fulfilled he got her soul. The little girl quickly agreed, she’d do anything to make her parents smile again, even if it meant selling her soul to the devil. He served the young girl for 2 years before the contract was fulfilled.
When the deed was done, a reaper appeared at the scene. The reaper was furious at Takai for taking the soul of an innocent child. Takai explained it was a contract and both had agreed, but that wasn't enough for the reaper. The argument escalated until they were in a full fledged fight and the scenery was painted crimson. A group of anbu saw the conclusion of the fight and were quick to retain Takai. They took him to a tower were he was tortured for killing the villages "guard dog". He remained in the tower for 6 months before being offered a chance to be a free man again. All he had to do was to confess his sins to a priest, and be cleansed. If he was to decline the offer, he was to hung in front of the village. Takai declined the offer, he felt no need to confess for following through with the contract. The following day he was set to be hung.
The night before his date with the noose, Takai was visited by Sebastian. He told him if he were to stay in this cell without a fight, he would personally kill him. There was no reason for him to give up and to be killed by humans. There were other more honorable ways to die, but this wasn't one of them. Sebastian was right, and Takai wasn't going to go down without a fight.
That night he escaped from darkness, and in the morning as the anbu came to fetch him, all that was left in his cell was a pile of black feathers, and the mangled bodies of 3 guards.
Takai fled from darkness to the outskirts of steel where he's resided for the past year.
