Kaden's power generates his reiatsu into blue flames. Within his sword holds his power, he carries it around with him where ever he goes, making it his most precious item. Once he takes the blade from its sheath, he would be engulfed in blue flames. He could also turn his blood into flames as he wishes (but only when the blade is unsheathed.) When he is cut the blood would burst a flame and seal the cut, however if it is to be a massive wound the burning would not heal the inflicted area.

History:
Before i shall tell you my story there is something you must know that i didn't find out till later on in my life time. My parents were high-spec humans, they were the previous generation of protectors in the world of the living. Gaurding a sword which i once came to possess. Some people would say that my abilities wouldn't come as a shock, but to me it was...
I was born a fullbring, and others might say other-wise, however they tend to overlook the obvious. My mother was attacked by a hollow many times before her birth, and with her abilities she had held, she carried them onto me. The Blade of Kulika as something they were guarding, and i thought it was something i must of kept on guarding in their names sake. I will never forget their faces for as long as i live, i will remember the face of my father, and the face of my mother, and the horror in between.
Everyone treated me like a child, as if I was a demon of some kind, always looked down upon. I always liked those rainy days when the sun is up, the rainbow would shine in the sky, and I would always run towards it, trying to catch it, and have it all too myself. But then it would disappear behind the purple clouds; maybe that is why I was always swinging my fists around, because I wanted It all too myself, and whenever I got close to it, it would always slip through my fingers.
I can remember when I was a child I would always look after my younger brother, always picking him up off the ground, and protecting him from harm. He was my only friend, and the only one I could rely on as our parents died on the full moon. Back then I couldn’t believe what I had seen, what I saw was pushed back into the deepest corner of my head, so I wouldn’t remember the demons who killed my mother and father. They both had shining white coats on their backs, the moon’s light from the sun bounced onto their attire as it shone onto my face like a never ending cycle of light.
But then the unthinkable happened when my mother and father landed on the ground, exhausted, worn-out. I always thought they were invincible, but it just turned out they are just like a rainbow. They died in front of my eyes, as my brother lay sound asleep in my arms. My heart raced, as my hatred grew, as I clenched my eyes shut. Once I opened my eyes the place we once lived was burnt to ash, and there my brother was safe in my arms. I didn’t know what happened, but I didn’t want to question it. Was it god who saved us?
My brother and I were only twelve minutes apart in age, but still it didn’t matter who was younger or older than the other. We looked at each other that we were one with one another. After the night of the full moon people gathered around and gave us food and shelter, but we couldn’t stay there forever. Because after time passed and our bellies were full, they turned their back on us. They thought the fire was the work of the devil himself. Our once called home was now a ruin no body wishes to pass. We were known as the devils children, the ones were protected by the flames of a house burnt to ash, the ones who walked out without any burns or marks on our bodies.
However that didn’t matter to one person. Father Damian took us into his home and raised us within the church and its head quarters. He knew of the tales, however to him he was glad that we were with him as he said that ‘we were chosen by god to protect’. I looked at my brother and he looked at me. Something told me right there, that he knew more than I did myself.
At the age of seventeen both my brother and I had attended junior high and graduated. I had changed from the first day I have bee talking about from the beginning of this story. I had become a brother like any other, jealous, ambitious, and motivated. From the age of fifteen onwards I wanted to get stronger, smarter and more respectable than my brother. I wanted to surpass him, but still there is a long road ahead. I become more of a laze; sitting back in my chair looking out the window, that didn’t mean I wasn’t paying attention in class! I still passed my classes, but my brother outsmarted me completely.
I tried to get a job, however I couldn’t hold it for too long; even with that I would fail, but still I would try again, and again, no matter what.
My grades were holding steady, my jobs not holding at all. I just sat there in the church, thinking what was going on? A shine… What was that? Father Damian looked around to see me stand up in awe. I had never seen that before since I have been here for how long? The symbol of the cross had been there on the wall for many years, and this was the first time I noticed. The top of the cross was shining. Father Damian came over and told me to sit down, and s I did what he asked.
“Kaden… I must tell you something that you are not aware with…”
There was no one else inside the church, as my ears picked up the sound of the door locking behind him.
“When you first turned up outside this Church, you were holding something…”
The father looked up at the cross, I looked at him blankly.
“I was holding my brother, you told me yourself.”
I replied back, but with that he looked at me as if he thought I was ready to know.
“You were also holding a sword…”
My heart stopped and so did my mind. But when did this happen?
As I said once before, I couldn’t really remember all the things that happened back in my past, the flames, the demon, my parents, and the sword that they held. The sword that was put up on display in my family home when I was young.
“That sword you held, I placed it up there…”
He said looking up at the cross. Father Damian had made a compartment in the cross where the sword was held. From there he started to tell me the truth, so then my eyes would open to what was real.
“Your parents were guardians of a blade called, “Kulika-nagaraja” translated as, ‘The Dragon King Kulika.’ It is a legendary sword held by a man who was known to change into a dragon and a sword. On the night of the full moon you spoke of, I have sources that say that a hollow attacked your parents..”
“A Hollow?”
Father Damien cut me off from my confused words,
“Let me finish…”
“Hollows are evil spirits or what we like to call Demons… They were the ones you saw who killed your parents, they were after the sword. You were the one who saved your life and your brothers. See as I said once before, you were chosen by god to protect, with this you were granted powers to protect others from the darkness. Your power burnt down the house, protecting you and your brother and destroying the hollow.”
I was slightly confused, but slowly it was making sense. But still how could i not know about this power now? Why hadn’t they returned to me? How am I not aware of this? But i was thinking too soon as Father Damian spoke for the last time.
“I believe that somehow your powers were transferred to that sword. I tried to unsheathe it from its case, but it wouldn’t budge. I believe it is waiting for you... I mean, your powers will re-appear once you reveal the blade.”
I looked over to the cross, I didn’t know what to do, but for now I knew that I should leave the issue and think about what had just happened; think about the words that were spoken. There would be a day where that blade would be revealed.
After the new that was told to me I sat on my bed, thinking what was happening. Soon all the memories pieced together and I finally realized what had happened; that’s when brother walked in, he had those eyes, glistening eyes that spoke the words of, “I feel sorry for you” I looked back completely speechless, there were no words describing how I felt. I didn’t know if I should feel angry or sad, he came over and sat on his bed that was opposite to mine. To think that I had been sleeping in the same room as he, him of all people, knowing of what had happened and not telling me.
“I wanted you to have a normal and happy life, that why I didn’t tell you… I begged Father not to tell you…”
Somehow I knew.
“I know…”
I reply back with the faintest words.
“I wasn’t asleep on that night, I saw the whole thing. I saw you day after day, trying to protect me-” I cut him off.
“Instead you were protecting me…” my words faded away.
“Yes, that is the truth. I was glad you forgot, and when we met Father I told him the story of what happened. He then told me that out parents were guardians picked by Shinigami to watch over the sword. The Shinigami had their men stationed around the house but they couldn’t do anything knowing that we were inside the house at the time… Still their memories wouldn’t be tarnished, I am glad that they won’t, and instead they will be remembered. So will you and I…”
From the last sentence of his brothers words raised questions, you and I? Remembered? How?
“To tell you the truth, you’re not the only one with powers.”
From that day on, my world collapsed and re-built itself in a different perspective. Somehow nothing felt real. Everything was alien to him; I couldn’t look at my brother the same way as I did before. All this time he had been training his powers, growing stronger, so then he could protect me. I know I said earlier that it didn’t matter who was older or younger, but now times have changed.
“I am the oldest, I have to protect you!”
“No you don’t…”
Why did I detect such pity in his voice?
“Soon you will have to protect yourself… I am leaving the church to search for someone in particular…”
There was nothing left to say as I left the room in a huff.
We both turned ninteen, both had our birthdays on the same day, but still it felt just like any other day... Except...
It was the day Brother was leaving the church; I knelt down quietly as I lit a candle which was set before me, speaking a prayer for my Brother. I turned around with the cross behind me. Father Damian stood between us to.
“I will be companying your Brother to where he has to go; there he will commence his training…”
All I could do was bow my head with nothing else to say.
Before they could reach the door the floor started to tremble, the pews rattled and banged on the ground. I stumbled back with one leg behind me to keep me from falling down. There I heard the voice.
“I can smell it…”
“Me too…”
“I can’t wait! Let me at him!”
Three being were set in front of him, tall looking creatures, what were they? They looked different to one another, but the memory from the past made them out to be slightly the same, Hollows… They were the evil spirits the father talked about. From out of know where brother had defeated one of them with his power. It was the first time I had ever seen it; it was amazing, beautiful, true perfection. However it didn’t last for long as he fell to the ground, I leaned forwards thinking on what I could do. Nothing! I couldn’t do a thing! All this time protecting him, and I can’t even protect him now! Before my eyes the colour of blood was presented to me once again. Father Damien fell to the ground, spikes from one of the hollows pierced his chest as he then collapsed to the ground, and his corpse lay on the ground where he was born. This church was his womb and his coffin. I let out a scream as I turned around and ran, not to run away, but towards my fate.
I climbed up onto the wall and saw the opening of the compartment. On the bottom of the cross there was a slide, as I opened it up, the sword fell down into my hands. I gripped tightly, as I walked forwards.
“Get back!”
The hollows turned around in laughter, as by the time I was close enough the sheath easily came off by my hands. Blue flames arose from my body, the sword glowed a bright electric blue, and so did the rest of me. With one swing a wave of fire perused towards one of the hollows, splitting it in half and cutting it down.
And there, there was one. The Hollow was fast as it grabbed hold of my Brother, I stiffened, and all I could hear was his voice saying, “Do it! Kill him, along with me!” I couldn’t do such a thing, I sworn to protect him from the darkness and share with him the light.
“What will you do now? Kaden…”
How did it know my name?
“I was the one who was there on that night; I just got away from your attack. But it seems that you haven’t even changed since then. I will kill you like what I did to your parents!”
The anger built up, the memories flooded back in one hit, as I swung my sword to the ground the church burst into flames. Then there was none. Slowly I sheathed the sword of Kulika, and the flames diminished. The full moon shone from the sky down upon us. It was just like back then… My thoughts came back to me as I saw my Brother lying on the ground. I shouted his name and ran to his side. His eyes opened just for a few second along with some words.
“Who are you…?”
Then he slept, the tears arose and ran down my cheeks like a milky waterfall, nothing in my life’s experiences prepared me for this day.
Father Damien had passed, and my Brother had no recollection of any events, not even myself for that matter. I placed him over my shoulder and carried him away from the church; soon I came to the steps of the hospital and walked inside, i found a bed that was set up on the side of the corridor, it looked like know one was around as i proped my brother onto the bed.
“Now you can live a happy normal life, little brother…”
That’s what i hope for, for my brother to grow up, and build a loving happy family, whilst I went out to protect many others and my brothers future from the evils that lurk in the shadows.
From then on I was known as, “The Blue Exorcist.” A boy grown up in a church, seeking the evil with the blue flames by his side.
I straightened up from the ground, and said my last farewells. I travelled out to towns on end, helping others, conquering the hollows. I heard stories about my parents how they were humans just like me, they were the previous generation to protect humanity, and so they were the ones chosen by the Shinigami to protect the sword. Still I don’t know as much of what they call, “Soul Society” or, “Lord of the Deep” but I have made it my main concern to protect humanity just like my parents, and just like how Father Damien told me, only now to return back home. Now i just hope that for what i wished for came true.

Name: Kulika-nagaraja ("Dragon King Kulika").
Description:
Kulika-nagaraja is a 183.2cm long sized sword. When Kaden unsheathes it he generates a blue flame based reiatsu energy power covering the whole blade. Kaden can release incredibly destructive bright blue flames. However, when he draws Kulika, the magnitude of the flames drastically increases and often leads to Kaden being "consumed" by his own flames and losing his mind. He is now currently training to control it them.
Within Kadens power there are Two Stages. With his powers locked away inside Kulika, and the flames that consumes his insite, he is learning to control. Kaden’s full powers have been locked away completely and he must train to reveal them. There are two stages to his powers (just like a shinigami having a Shikai then a Bankai.) The Shikai in this instance is Stage One, where Kaden reveals his power, in stage one only bits and pieces of him are aflame. The second stage is like a Bankai where his powers evolve, however when reaching a stage two the powers of the flames consume him completely. No added stats are gained to the rise in stages, only the rise of awareness of his powers. Like all Shinigami he can choose weather to go into his second stage, however he chooses not to since the attacks in the second are used mainly for strong opponents or large groups of foes.
The Meaning Behind the Two Stages...
There are meanings behind the stages and how they work. The sword of Kulika represents light and protection, and the dragon of Kulika represents hatred and bloodshed, thus the two stages have meanings behind them.
The first stage represents the light, protection and follows the holy way of god. Where as the second stage represents darkness and foul play, since they are large attacks f distruction, they are the devils play toy, leading the way of sin.
To proceed to Stage Two, Kaden must first gain the following stats which can be viewed under the Stage Two attacks.
Physical Changes once Kulika is Released
Once Kaden releases his power through Kulika he gains; sharper-looking teeth, slightly pointed ears, and his pupils turn red while his irises remain bright blue. His physical appearance is that of black hair, which grows longer in course of the release. His height is 173 cm (5' 8") and he appears to be quite fit. In class, he is sometimes seen with his fringe pinned up.
Kulika-nagaraja ("Dragon King Kulika").
In Esoteric Buddhism he is regarded as a manifestation of Fudou Myou-ou and is also known as Kurikara Fudou or Kurikara Myou-ou. He assumes the form of a flame-wreathed snake or dragon coiled around an upright sword, with his open mouth about to swallow the tip of the weapon, which is called the "Kurikara sword" (kurikara-ken). According to the KURIKARA RYUU DARANIKYOU, this manifestation of Fudou had its origins in a contest between Fudou and a non-Buddhist heretic in the course of which Fudou transformed himself first into a sword and then into the dragon Kurikara and threatened to devour the sword into which the heretic had changed himself. Alternatively the dragon and sword are sometimes said to represent the noose and sword held by Fudou and images of Kurikara may be used as a substitute for Fudou as for example on the lid of a lacquered sutura box from the Heian period belonging to Taimadera (Nara Prefecture), where he is flanked by Fudou's two attendants Kongara Douji and Seitaka Douji. Early statuary representations are rare: that kept at Ryuukouin —(Mt. Kouya, Wakayama prefecture) inside a small shrine (zushi) is thought to date from the Kamakura period, although temple tradition holds that the sword (42.2cm) was brought back to Japan by Kuukai (774-835 AD). The largest completely wooden image (183.2cm), dating from the late Heian period (11c-12c), is kept at Kotakeji, Ooita prefecture.

Even though his powers are locked away in Kulika he can speak to his power and gain some of it's abilities without unsheathing it. Kaden can manipulate fire, however only when it is alight, he cannot create it out of mid air, but he can create it if something is involved of it's creation (ig: an electrical spark) he could click his fingers and with the kenetic energy rubbing skin to skin, he can create fire. With his own mind power he can choose different body parts to become aflame (Ig: Hand(s), Arm(s), Leg(s))
With the passive ability of 'intensity' he can consentrate the fire to his feet, increasing the intensity so then they would be like jet flames which would allow him to jump higher and also fly upwards for long range attacks.
He can only let a body part burn for four posts, he can dismiss it any time he pleases before that time, but he cannot use it for another three posts.
Path of Holliness (Stage One) Unlocked
Burn: This attack is the main attack Kaden uses; when he swings Kulika he produces an arc shape of blue flames towards his opponent. This attack can be changed with different hand positions on the blade. If he cups his hand over the hilt he can then spray the blue flames forwards in a dome shape. If he lies his hand flat on top of the blade and pointing it towards his enemy he can then shoot fire balls towards them. If he swirls his blade around in a circle when producing the flame, a spiral of blue flames would shoot forwards. It all depends on Kaden’s movements in which the flames would produce.
[Kaden can use this attack twice in every post, however he must take a one (1) post break to regain his strength]
Arise: This attack is the very one that burnt down his house, and the church back in the past. When Kaden strikes the ground flames will arise from the ground underneath their opponent.
[Can be used once every six (6) posts]
Bend: When Kaden hits the ground with Kulika, blue flames travel on the ground to the opponent, the flame can streach outwards and Kaden can control where the flame goes. However there is a 20 meter limit. However if it meets with more fire on the way the flame can grow longer than usual. Kaden can also split the flames on the ground, however the limit is two at a time.
[Can last for four (4) posts, or until the foe stops it before that time. Cannot be used until another six (6) posts after dismissal]
Grab: The legend is that Kulika was once a man who can change into a dragon and a then a sword, who then later threatened to swallow the sword due to it’s magic. With this attack Kaden swing forwards and what looks to be a Dragons hand comes forwards and grabs the enemy. With the direction in which Kaden swings next is where the hand would let go of the enemy and throw them in that direction. From the grab the opponent would gain burns from the grip of the dragon’s hand.
[Can be used once every four (4) posts]
Vanquish: When Kaden stabs an opponent he can make the flames rush into his victims and make them burn from the inside, with his hand positioned grabbing hold of the blades gaurd. Whilst that happens the flames swirl around the opponent and start to cook them from the outside, this attack works mainly against hollows. Who likes a roast? Cos there is one right here...
Path of Sin (Stage Two) *Locked*
In this stage Kaden is completely consumed by the blue flames of his power. Within this stage of his power his attacks seem to be bigger (mainly for dealing with a large amount of foes, or a really strong opponent.)
Stats to obatin to weild this power
Reiatsu: 270
Attack: 250
Speed: 250
Weapon Skill: 300
Burn it Up: This is both a long range and short range attack. It is just like other attack in the previous stage; however the radius of these attack is much greater and far spreading.
Example: Kaden would swing Kulika and produced a massive flame towards the opponent; the flame would first look arc shaped when moving towards them; however when it hits the surface the fire spreads a good 30 meters.
[Kaden can use this attack twice in every three (3) post, however he must take a two (2) post break to regain his strength]
Hell's Circle Part One: This is also another big range attack, but can also be used against stronger foes. There are two parts to this one attack. The first is a defensive attack. Kaden would angel his blade in a diagonal way towards the ground, and insert it into the earth. Once he inserts the sword he must say the first part of the incantation. With the first part of the incantation complete a giant pentagram would glow blue, lit aflame on the ground. The walls of the pentagram would be sealed so then the one trapped inside wouldn’t be able to get out, if they try they would be burnt as the walls are made of an invisible flame. No one can go in or out, or else injuries may conflict.
[Can be used once (1) every thread]
Incantation: Let your soul be trapped, looked down upon, in disgust, you will be trapped for your deeds, and your sins will become mine...
Hell's Circle Part Two: This is the last attack of the circle, now that the defensive shield is in place, Kaden would speak the last of the incantation, once that is done the pentagram will get smaller and smaller until it come into contact with the foe, burning him/her. It would last five seconds, until the pentagram would then explode. Part one and two of this circle can only be used once every week, and only once in Stage Two of his power when possessing Kulika.
[Can be used once (1) every thread]
Incantation: Let the curtins close, and the light flash before your eyes, and awaken within the flames. You are commanded and made to stop!
The Devils Playground: This is both a defensive and offensive attack, to activate the devils playground he must make the blue flames arise to the sky, once that is done the flames would land back down in place, forming a circle around him and his foe. This is simular to the Hell's Circle, however this time Kaden is in there with his opponent. The walls of the circle are made of invisible flames, and blue flames which make the circle can be controled by Kadens sword (just like what he does with the Grab attack) he directs the flames with his own movements. The circle stays up for around 4 posts.
[Can be used once (1) a week. Note: You cannot use it once in a thread, and then wait a week to use it again, weeks are counted in RP only.]
Passive Abilities:
Immune: Kaden is Immune to all fires and burns, he can't feel heat, and he hates the cold.
Chain of Burning: When Kaden reveals his powers if anyone touches him they are in risk in burning themselves for their own actions.
Riparare: *Locked until 'Path of Ones Self' is obatained* Lating word for, 'Protect'. Kaden can spread his flames onto some (preferablly an ally) so no one can touch them as a sheild. If they do they will be burned.
Intensity: *Locked until 'Path of Ones Self' is obatained* Kaden can control the intensity of the flames, so if he was to fight someone who controls water, he can make the water evapurate, however it will take three posts to do so.
Curatio: *Locked until 'Path of Ones Self' is obatained* Latin for 'Healing'. With the help of his fullbring when he is cut (this meaning minor cut mostly, the blood will burst into flames and seal the wound. If it is to be a major cut to a vital wound, Kaden would have to consentrate his powers to that one spot and then the blood will catch a flame, however that is only if he is willing to risk his energy. [Can be used three (3) times in a battle, however -10 Weapon Skill is the cost of experience. Once Four (4) posts are over the -10 to Weapon Skill will be non-exsistant.]

Before Birth
Before i shall tell you my story there is something you must know that i didn't find out till later on in my life time. My parents were high-spec humans, they were the previous generation of protectors in the world of the living. Gaurding a sword which i once came to possess. Some people would say that my abilities wouldn't come as a shock, but to me it was...
I was born a fullbring, and others might say other-wise, however they tend to overlook the obvious. My mother was attacked by a hollow many times before her birth, and with her abilities she had held, she carried them onto me. The Blade of Kulika as something they were guarding, and i thought it was something i must of kept on guarding in their names sake. I will never forget their faces for as long as i live, i will remember the face of my father, and the face of my mother, and the horror in between.
Life as a Child
Everyone treated me like a child, as if I was a demon of some kind, always looked down upon. I always liked those rainy days when the sun is up, the rainbow would shine in the sky, and I would always run towards it, trying to catch it, and have it all too myself. But then it would disappear behind the purple clouds; maybe that is why I was always swinging my fists around, because I wanted It all too myself, and whenever I got close to it, it would always slip through my fingers.
I can remember when I was a child I would always look after my younger brother, always picking him up off the ground, and protecting him from harm. He was my only friend, and the only one I could rely on as our parents died on the full moon. Back then I couldn’t believe what I had seen, what I saw was pushed back into the deepest corner of my head, so I wouldn’t remember the demons who killed my mother and father. They both had shining white coats on their backs, the moon’s light from the sun bounced onto their attire as it shone onto my face like a never ending cycle of light.
But then the unthinkable happened when my mother and father landed on the ground, exhausted, worn-out. I always thought they were invincible, but it just turned out they are just like a rainbow. They died in front of my eyes, as my brother lay sound asleep in my arms. My heart raced, as my hatred grew, as I clenched my eyes shut. Once I opened my eyes the place we once lived was burnt to ash, and there my brother was safe in my arms. I didn’t know what happened, but I didn’t want to question it. Was it god who saved us?
The New Father
My brother and I were only twelve minutes apart in age, but still it didn’t matter who was younger or older than the other. We looked at each other that we were one with one another. After the night of the full moon people gathered around and gave us food and shelter, but we couldn’t stay there forever. Because after time passed and our bellies were full, they turned their back on us. They thought the fire was the work of the devil himself. Our once called home was now a ruin no body wishes to pass. We were known as the devils children, the ones were protected by the flames of a house burnt to ash, the ones who walked out without any burns or marks on our bodies.
However that didn’t matter to one person. Father Damian took us into his home and raised us within the church and its head quarters. He knew of the tales, however to him he was glad that we were with him as he said that ‘we were chosen by god to protect’. I looked at my brother and he looked at me. Something told me right there, that he knew more than I did myself.
At the age of seventeen both my brother and I had attended junior high and graduated. I had changed from the first day I have bee talking about from the beginning of this story. I had become a brother like any other, jealous, ambitious, and motivated. From the age of fifteen onwards I wanted to get stronger, smarter and more respectable than my brother. I wanted to surpass him, but still there is a long road ahead. I become more of a laze; sitting back in my chair looking out the window, that didn’t mean I wasn’t paying attention in class! I still passed my classes, but my brother outsmarted me completely.
I tried to get a job, however I couldn’t hold it for too long; even with that I would fail, but still I would try again, and again, no matter what.
The Blade of Kulika
My grades were holding steady, my jobs not holding at all. I just sat there in the church, thinking what was going on? A shine… What was that? Father Damian looked around to see me stand up in awe. I had never seen that before since I have been here for how long? The symbol of the cross had been there on the wall for many years, and this was the first time I noticed. The top of the cross was shining. Father Damian came over and told me to sit down, and s I did what he asked.
“Kaden… I must tell you something that you are not aware with…”
There was no one else inside the church, as my ears picked up the sound of the door locking behind him.
“When you first turned up outside this Church, you were holding something…”
The father looked up at the cross, I looked at him blankly.
“I was holding my brother, you told me yourself.”
I replied back, but with that he looked at me as if he thought I was ready to know.
“You were also holding a sword…”
My heart stopped and so did my mind. But when did this happen?
As I said once before, I couldn’t really remember all the things that happened back in my past, the flames, the demon, my parents, and the sword that they held. The sword that was put up on display in my family home when I was young.
“That sword you held, I placed it up there…”
He said looking up at the cross. Father Damian had made a compartment in the cross where the sword was held. From there he started to tell me the truth, so then my eyes would open to what was real.
“Your parents were guardians of a blade called, “Kulika-nagaraja” translated as, ‘The Dragon King Kulika.’ It is a legendary sword held by a man who was known to change into a dragon and a sword. On the night of the full moon you spoke of, I have sources that say that a hollow attacked your parents..”
“A Hollow?”
Father Damien cut me off from my confused words,
“Let me finish…”
“Hollows are evil spirits or what we like to call Demons… They were the ones you saw who killed your parents, they were after the sword. You were the one who saved your life and your brothers. See as I said once before, you were chosen by god to protect, with this you were granted powers to protect others from the darkness. Your power burnt down the house, protecting you and your brother and destroying the hollow.”
I was slightly confused, but slowly it was making sense. But still how could i not know about this power now? Why hadn’t they returned to me? How am I not aware of this? But i was thinking too soon as Father Damian spoke for the last time.
“I believe that somehow your powers were transferred to that sword. I tried to unsheathe it from its case, but it wouldn’t budge. I believe it is waiting for you... I mean, your powers will re-appear once you reveal the blade.”
I looked over to the cross, I didn’t know what to do, but for now I knew that I should leave the issue and think about what had just happened; think about the words that were spoken. There would be a day where that blade would be revealed.
You always knew
After the new that was told to me I sat on my bed, thinking what was happening. Soon all the memories pieced together and I finally realized what had happened; that’s when brother walked in, he had those eyes, glistening eyes that spoke the words of, “I feel sorry for you” I looked back completely speechless, there were no words describing how I felt. I didn’t know if I should feel angry or sad, he came over and sat on his bed that was opposite to mine. To think that I had been sleeping in the same room as he, him of all people, knowing of what had happened and not telling me.
“I wanted you to have a normal and happy life, that why I didn’t tell you… I begged Father not to tell you…”
Somehow I knew.
“I know…”
I reply back with the faintest words.
“I wasn’t asleep on that night, I saw the whole thing. I saw you day after day, trying to protect me-” I cut him off.
“Instead you were protecting me…” my words faded away.
“Yes, that is the truth. I was glad you forgot, and when we met Father I told him the story of what happened. He then told me that out parents were guardians picked by Shinigami to watch over the sword. The Shinigami had their men stationed around the house but they couldn’t do anything knowing that we were inside the house at the time… Still their memories wouldn’t be tarnished, I am glad that they won’t, and instead they will be remembered. So will you and I…”
From the last sentence of his brothers words raised questions, you and I? Remembered? How?
“To tell you the truth, you’re not the only one with powers.”
From that day on, my world collapsed and re-built itself in a different perspective. Somehow nothing felt real. Everything was alien to him; I couldn’t look at my brother the same way as I did before. All this time he had been training his powers, growing stronger, so then he could protect me. I know I said earlier that it didn’t matter who was older or younger, but now times have changed.
“I am the oldest, I have to protect you!”
“No you don’t…”
Why did I detect such pity in his voice?
“Soon you will have to protect yourself… I am leaving the church to search for someone in particular…”
There was nothing left to say as I left the room in a huff.
Goodbye my Brother, So-long my father…
We both turned ninteen, both had our birthdays on the same day, but still it felt just like any other day... Except...
It was the day Brother was leaving the church; I knelt down quietly as I lit a candle which was set before me, speaking a prayer for my Brother. I turned around with the cross behind me. Father Damian stood between us to.
“I will be companying your Brother to where he has to go; there he will commence his training…”
All I could do was bow my head with nothing else to say.
Before they could reach the door the floor started to tremble, the pews rattled and banged on the ground. I stumbled back with one leg behind me to keep me from falling down. There I heard the voice.
“I can smell it…”
“Me too…”
“I can’t wait! Let me at him!”
Three being were set in front of him, tall looking creatures, what were they? They looked different to one another, but the memory from the past made them out to be slightly the same, Hollows… They were the evil spirits the father talked about. From out of know where brother had defeated one of them with his power. It was the first time I had ever seen it; it was amazing, beautiful, true perfection. However it didn’t last for long as he fell to the ground, I leaned forwards thinking on what I could do. Nothing! I couldn’t do a thing! All this time protecting him, and I can’t even protect him now! Before my eyes the colour of blood was presented to me once again. Father Damien fell to the ground, spikes from one of the hollows pierced his chest as he then collapsed to the ground, and his corpse lay on the ground where he was born. This church was his womb and his coffin. I let out a scream as I turned around and ran, not to run away, but towards my fate.
I climbed up onto the wall and saw the opening of the compartment. On the bottom of the cross there was a slide, as I opened it up, the sword fell down into my hands. I gripped tightly, as I walked forwards.
“Get back!”
The hollows turned around in laughter, as by the time I was close enough the sheath easily came off by my hands. Blue flames arose from my body, the sword glowed a bright electric blue, and so did the rest of me. With one swing a wave of fire perused towards one of the hollows, splitting it in half and cutting it down.
And there, there was one. The Hollow was fast as it grabbed hold of my Brother, I stiffened, and all I could hear was his voice saying, “Do it! Kill him, along with me!” I couldn’t do such a thing, I sworn to protect him from the darkness and share with him the light.
“What will you do now? Kaden…”
How did it know my name?
“I was the one who was there on that night; I just got away from your attack. But it seems that you haven’t even changed since then. I will kill you like what I did to your parents!”
The anger built up, the memories flooded back in one hit, as I swung my sword to the ground the church burst into flames. Then there was none. Slowly I sheathed the sword of Kulika, and the flames diminished. The full moon shone from the sky down upon us. It was just like back then… My thoughts came back to me as I saw my Brother lying on the ground. I shouted his name and ran to his side. His eyes opened just for a few second along with some words.
“Who are you…?”
Then he slept, the tears arose and ran down my cheeks like a milky waterfall, nothing in my life’s experiences prepared me for this day.
Returning the Favour
Father Damien had passed, and my Brother had no recollection of any events, not even myself for that matter. I placed him over my shoulder and carried him away from the church; soon I came to the steps of the hospital and walked inside, i found a bed that was set up on the side of the corridor, it looked like know one was around as i proped my brother onto the bed.
“Now you can live a happy normal life, little brother…”
That’s what i hope for, for my brother to grow up, and build a loving happy family, whilst I went out to protect many others and my brothers future from the evils that lurk in the shadows.
From then on I was known as, “The Blue Exorcist.” A boy grown up in a church, seeking the evil with the blue flames by his side.
I straightened up from the ground, and said my last farewells. I travelled out to towns on end, helping others, conquering the hollows. I heard stories about my parents how they were humans just like me, they were the previous generation to protect humanity, and so they were the ones chosen by the Shinigami to protect the sword. Still I don’t know as much of what they call, “Soul Society” or, “Lord of the Deep” but I have made it my main concern to protect humanity just like my parents, and just like how Father Damien told me, only now to return back home. Now i just hope that for what i wished for came true.

Name: Kulika-nagaraja ("Dragon King Kulika").
Description:
Kulika-nagaraja is a 183.2cm long sized sword. When Kaden unsheathes it he generates a blue flame based reiatsu energy power covering the whole blade. Kaden can release incredibly destructive bright blue flames. However, when he draws Kulika, the magnitude of the flames drastically increases and often leads to Kaden being "consumed" by his own flames and losing his mind. He is now currently training to control it them.
Within Kadens power there are Two Stages. With his powers locked away inside Kulika, and the flames that consumes his insite, he is learning to control. Kaden’s full powers have been locked away completely and he must train to reveal them. There are two stages to his powers (just like a shinigami having a Shikai then a Bankai.) The Shikai in this instance is Stage One, where Kaden reveals his power, in stage one only bits and pieces of him are aflame. The second stage is like a Bankai where his powers evolve, however when reaching a stage two the powers of the flames consume him completely. No added stats are gained to the rise in stages, only the rise of awareness of his powers. Like all Shinigami he can choose weather to go into his second stage, however he chooses not to since the attacks in the second are used mainly for strong opponents or large groups of foes.
The Meaning Behind the Two Stages...
There are meanings behind the stages and how they work. The sword of Kulika represents light and protection, and the dragon of Kulika represents hatred and bloodshed, thus the two stages have meanings behind them.
The first stage represents the light, protection and follows the holy way of god. Where as the second stage represents darkness and foul play, since they are large attacks f distruction, they are the devils play toy, leading the way of sin.
To proceed to Stage Two, Kaden must first gain the following stats which can be viewed under the Stage Two attacks.
Physical Changes once Kulika is Released
Once Kaden releases his power through Kulika he gains; sharper-looking teeth, slightly pointed ears, and his pupils turn red while his irises remain bright blue. His physical appearance is that of black hair, which grows longer in course of the release. His height is 173 cm (5' 8") and he appears to be quite fit. In class, he is sometimes seen with his fringe pinned up.
Kulika-nagaraja ("Dragon King Kulika").
In Esoteric Buddhism he is regarded as a manifestation of Fudou Myou-ou and is also known as Kurikara Fudou or Kurikara Myou-ou. He assumes the form of a flame-wreathed snake or dragon coiled around an upright sword, with his open mouth about to swallow the tip of the weapon, which is called the "Kurikara sword" (kurikara-ken). According to the KURIKARA RYUU DARANIKYOU, this manifestation of Fudou had its origins in a contest between Fudou and a non-Buddhist heretic in the course of which Fudou transformed himself first into a sword and then into the dragon Kurikara and threatened to devour the sword into which the heretic had changed himself. Alternatively the dragon and sword are sometimes said to represent the noose and sword held by Fudou and images of Kurikara may be used as a substitute for Fudou as for example on the lid of a lacquered sutura box from the Heian period belonging to Taimadera (Nara Prefecture), where he is flanked by Fudou's two attendants Kongara Douji and Seitaka Douji. Early statuary representations are rare: that kept at Ryuukouin —(Mt. Kouya, Wakayama prefecture) inside a small shrine (zushi) is thought to date from the Kamakura period, although temple tradition holds that the sword (42.2cm) was brought back to Japan by Kuukai (774-835 AD). The largest completely wooden image (183.2cm), dating from the late Heian period (11c-12c), is kept at Kotakeji, Ooita prefecture.

Reiatsu: 150
Attack: 120
Speed: 120
Weapon Skill: 125
Even though his powers are locked away in Kulika he can speak to his power and gain some of it's abilities without unsheathing it. Kaden can manipulate fire, however only when it is alight, he cannot create it out of mid air, but he can create it if something is involved of it's creation (ig: an electrical spark) he could click his fingers and with the kenetic energy rubbing skin to skin, he can create fire. With his own mind power he can choose different body parts to become aflame (Ig: Hand(s), Arm(s), Leg(s))
With the passive ability of 'intensity' he can consentrate the fire to his feet, increasing the intensity so then they would be like jet flames which would allow him to jump higher and also fly upwards for long range attacks.
He can only let a body part burn for four posts, he can dismiss it any time he pleases before that time, but he cannot use it for another three posts.
Path of Holliness (Stage One) Unlocked
Burn: This attack is the main attack Kaden uses; when he swings Kulika he produces an arc shape of blue flames towards his opponent. This attack can be changed with different hand positions on the blade. If he cups his hand over the hilt he can then spray the blue flames forwards in a dome shape. If he lies his hand flat on top of the blade and pointing it towards his enemy he can then shoot fire balls towards them. If he swirls his blade around in a circle when producing the flame, a spiral of blue flames would shoot forwards. It all depends on Kaden’s movements in which the flames would produce.
[Kaden can use this attack twice in every post, however he must take a one (1) post break to regain his strength]
Arise: This attack is the very one that burnt down his house, and the church back in the past. When Kaden strikes the ground flames will arise from the ground underneath their opponent.
[Can be used once every six (6) posts]
Bend: When Kaden hits the ground with Kulika, blue flames travel on the ground to the opponent, the flame can streach outwards and Kaden can control where the flame goes. However there is a 20 meter limit. However if it meets with more fire on the way the flame can grow longer than usual. Kaden can also split the flames on the ground, however the limit is two at a time.
[Can last for four (4) posts, or until the foe stops it before that time. Cannot be used until another six (6) posts after dismissal]
Grab: The legend is that Kulika was once a man who can change into a dragon and a then a sword, who then later threatened to swallow the sword due to it’s magic. With this attack Kaden swing forwards and what looks to be a Dragons hand comes forwards and grabs the enemy. With the direction in which Kaden swings next is where the hand would let go of the enemy and throw them in that direction. From the grab the opponent would gain burns from the grip of the dragon’s hand.
[Can be used once every four (4) posts]
Vanquish: When Kaden stabs an opponent he can make the flames rush into his victims and make them burn from the inside, with his hand positioned grabbing hold of the blades gaurd. Whilst that happens the flames swirl around the opponent and start to cook them from the outside, this attack works mainly against hollows. Who likes a roast? Cos there is one right here...
Path of Sin (Stage Two) *Locked*
In this stage Kaden is completely consumed by the blue flames of his power. Within this stage of his power his attacks seem to be bigger (mainly for dealing with a large amount of foes, or a really strong opponent.)
Stats to obatin to weild this power
Reiatsu: 270
Attack: 250
Speed: 250
Weapon Skill: 300
Burn it Up: This is both a long range and short range attack. It is just like other attack in the previous stage; however the radius of these attack is much greater and far spreading.
Example: Kaden would swing Kulika and produced a massive flame towards the opponent; the flame would first look arc shaped when moving towards them; however when it hits the surface the fire spreads a good 30 meters.
[Kaden can use this attack twice in every three (3) post, however he must take a two (2) post break to regain his strength]
Hell's Circle Part One: This is also another big range attack, but can also be used against stronger foes. There are two parts to this one attack. The first is a defensive attack. Kaden would angel his blade in a diagonal way towards the ground, and insert it into the earth. Once he inserts the sword he must say the first part of the incantation. With the first part of the incantation complete a giant pentagram would glow blue, lit aflame on the ground. The walls of the pentagram would be sealed so then the one trapped inside wouldn’t be able to get out, if they try they would be burnt as the walls are made of an invisible flame. No one can go in or out, or else injuries may conflict.
[Can be used once (1) every thread]
Incantation: Let your soul be trapped, looked down upon, in disgust, you will be trapped for your deeds, and your sins will become mine...
Hell's Circle Part Two: This is the last attack of the circle, now that the defensive shield is in place, Kaden would speak the last of the incantation, once that is done the pentagram will get smaller and smaller until it come into contact with the foe, burning him/her. It would last five seconds, until the pentagram would then explode. Part one and two of this circle can only be used once every week, and only once in Stage Two of his power when possessing Kulika.
[Can be used once (1) every thread]
Incantation: Let the curtins close, and the light flash before your eyes, and awaken within the flames. You are commanded and made to stop!
The Devils Playground: This is both a defensive and offensive attack, to activate the devils playground he must make the blue flames arise to the sky, once that is done the flames would land back down in place, forming a circle around him and his foe. This is simular to the Hell's Circle, however this time Kaden is in there with his opponent. The walls of the circle are made of invisible flames, and blue flames which make the circle can be controled by Kadens sword (just like what he does with the Grab attack) he directs the flames with his own movements. The circle stays up for around 4 posts.
[Can be used once (1) a week. Note: You cannot use it once in a thread, and then wait a week to use it again, weeks are counted in RP only.]
Passive Abilities:
Immune: Kaden is Immune to all fires and burns, he can't feel heat, and he hates the cold.
Chain of Burning: When Kaden reveals his powers if anyone touches him they are in risk in burning themselves for their own actions.
Riparare: *Locked until 'Path of Ones Self' is obatained* Lating word for, 'Protect'. Kaden can spread his flames onto some (preferablly an ally) so no one can touch them as a sheild. If they do they will be burned.
Intensity: *Locked until 'Path of Ones Self' is obatained* Kaden can control the intensity of the flames, so if he was to fight someone who controls water, he can make the water evapurate, however it will take three posts to do so.
Curatio: *Locked until 'Path of Ones Self' is obatained* Latin for 'Healing'. With the help of his fullbring when he is cut (this meaning minor cut mostly, the blood will burst into flames and seal the wound. If it is to be a major cut to a vital wound, Kaden would have to consentrate his powers to that one spot and then the blood will catch a flame, however that is only if he is willing to risk his energy. [Can be used three (3) times in a battle, however -10 Weapon Skill is the cost of experience. Once Four (4) posts are over the -10 to Weapon Skill will be non-exsistant.]
