History: Lord Kurazuna Tarsus Melchior Falchion VI, or 'Kuza' as he would put it, had a childhood most would kill for. His parents gave him everything he wanted, and spent much of their time with him. His father, though in ailing health, trained his son in the art of combat with the chosen weapon of the Jove Anjels, the liquid-based heat sword. When Kuza was 17, his father died, and he became Lord of the Jove Anjels. He ruled justly, and protected his people for nearly two years.

In his 19th year of life, however, four demons attacked the planet of Darius (Illefuto, the Demon of Despair, Noriel, the Demon of Chaos, Eblis, the Demon of Bane, and Jezebel, the Demon of Seduction). The 3 most powerful Anjel races (the Varona, the Jove, and the Sepilon) rallied against the demons, but lost again and again. Finally, a stand was taken as the four launched an assault on the Varonan capital. Forces led by Kuza and Gymelias of Sepilon struck from behind while the Varonans fought, with devastating results. Almost the entire army under the command of the four was destroyed, and both Jezebel and Eblis were wounded.

The Anjels had prices of their own to pay for their daring move, however: 14,000 Jove Anjels and 33,000 Sepilon Anjels fell, not to mention almost 100,000 Varona Anjels. In addition to that, Kuza had been lost to a dimensional rip created by Illefuto. Most gave up and decided that he was dead. He was, however, alive. The only problem was that he was in another dimension, trying to figure out what had happened during the memory gap between Illefuto striking him and waking up here. Four dimensions later, he finally understood: he had been struck by a multiversal blast of energy, which had tossed him through the dimensional barrier. What he did not figure out, however, is why he kept going through those barriers, with random intervals between each trip...sometimes he'd be on to the next dimension in 30 minutes, other times in 3 months. The replosion has sent Kuza to yet another dimension; however, the trip was different this time...

Physical Description: Kuza stands 6'1", with roughly an extra foot and a half added by the tops of his wings. Being of the Jove subspecies, Kuza has grey-feathered wings, slightly-tanned skin, dark blue hair, and dark green eyes (Jove Anjels have the darkest physical features of the Anjel species). He dresses in an airy, dark blue button-up overshirt and black undershirt, with pants colored a much darker green than his eyes (close to black, but not close enough to eliminate a significant distinction). He leaves the overshirt unbuttoned most of the time; it flows behind him almost like a cape.

Abilities: Having traveled across several dimensions in the 820 years of his life, Kuza's picked up several weapons, skills, and various other 'tricks' from those he's met. He has retained his sword skills, as well as the liquid sword he wielded in battle centuries ago. (A note on this: a liquid-based heat sword does not use the blade itself to slash, but rather the immense heat being constantly conducted through the liquid. It has a temperature of about 2900 degrees Kelvin, half the temperature of the sun. The intense energy given off by this heat cuts through skin as easily as any beam-based or metal-based weapon. Though such heat would likely hurt the wielder as much as it would the target, special heat shielding contained in the hilt of the weapon protects the user from the effects of such heat while keeping the lessening of the effects on the business side of the blade insignificant. The hilt is also kept from heating up by a special coolant. The generator of the heat has not needed to be recharged, and won't need to be for around 1200 more years.)

In addition to this, though, Kuza has learned how to use throwing daggers, firearms, and even a bit of magic. He carries with him a set of throwing daggers, a pistol that fires low-output blasts of positron-based energy, a number of grappling hook 'variants', and a small, oval-shaped ruby from an unknown place. He also has several other miscellaneous skills which he uses when necessary.

Weaknesses: Being a dimension-leaper, Kuza has made some friends in a few dimensions, as well as some enemies. These enemies have captured him on several occasions and put him through many different kinds of torture. While this has toughened him a good bit, it's left him with a horrible aversion to anything resembling torture; restraint of almost any kind induces anything from panic attacks to temporary insanity, torture items or items resembling torture items make him extremely uneasy (even nauseous), and mention of anything torture-related makes him very edgy and suspicious. Kuza also has a strange weakness to red flowers (he gets very emotional around them) and female laughter (has the same effect as red flowers).

Enemies: Aside from enemies in other dimensions, Kuza has a couple in this one. Dimentia, a crazed madman who's been chasing Kuza since the Anjel accidentally killed his best friend with a dart in a dart game is here; he pilots a strange, highly versatile craft called the Hippodrome. An organization known as Guardian Janus is also after Kuza due to his dimension-leaping ways.
