Source

my favourite manga/anime is Fairy Tail and its where I get most of the lore, history, powers and logic for my character from. Of course, not all of it, I have changed a lot to make the character my own.

Appearance

Ras is a lean, muscular young man of very tall height with a ghostly white skin tone, his eyes are made up of black sclera, a blood red iris, and a reptilian slit pupil, long dreadlocked white hair, and has abnormally sharp teeth; Ras has a multitude of scars from previous battles in his past and alongside his brother, Natsu. Following his intense battle with the Rogue Cheney of the future, Ras gains a cross-shaped scar across his entire upper body, a result of the two fatal wounds the man dealt to him during their altercations. His arms are made of a black metallic substance, exoskeletal and bony with obvious protruding joints. Sharp claws for fingers and a demonic tail that matched. Folded on his back are large pitch black feathered wings that are about twice his own height in wingspan usually hidden under his coat. His guild mark is located on his forearm and is made up of both black and white colours.


Ras's main outfit consists of either a sleeveless or fully sleeved, black and hooded trench coat he received from his adoptive father, Igneel, often left open, exposing his bare chest, a leather black belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle, black knee-length trousers, black high boots. He has also been known to wear a rolled up comforter strapped across his back, though he rarely carries it in battle.


In the year X791, Ras's attire receives minor changes. He now wears an open-collared, one-sleeved version of his original trench coat. The sleeve covers Ras's left arm, leaving his Fallen Beginning mark, as well as his entire right arm, consequently exposed. Ras continues wearing Igneel's scarf and retains the same lower clothing.


In the year X792, Ras is seen wearing a large, tattered, black cloak with his trademark scarf. His pants are torn and patched and his arms and legs are wrapped in bandages. Later, he discards this outfit in favor of his old one, although he keeps the bandages on his right arm.

Personality

Ras is carefree and reckless in nature, and, despite his consistent brawls with the other members of Fallen Beginings, he is a fiercely loyal and protective friend. He is willing to go down fighting for his friends, regardless of how futile it might seem. Natsu has a straightforward mind, and often tackles issues with a "hands on" approach. His solution to problems often involve violence. Even when disrespected or faced with obvious hostility, Ras rarely ever reciprocates the feelings, and often forgoes grudge-holding. He did, however, for a short time, hold a grudge against Jellal Fernandes, but eventually forgave him and considered him an ally. He occasionally shows compassion for his enemies, such as when Cobra was betrayed by Brain. Ras rarely exhibits any perverse tendencies towards the opposite sex, there only being two noted instances. The first is seen prior to the Grand Magic Games, when he is seen trying to peek, along with several other of his male Guild mates, on the women as they bathed. The second is when Lucy comes crashing into him while nude, and he stares at her body, even groping her breasts for a moment.


Ras continuously tries to prove his strength to others. At various points in time, he has challenged Erza, Laxus, Mirajane, and even Gildarts (in short, all of Fairy Tail's S-Class Mages), to fight him, albeit, he was beaten every single time. Despite his losses, Ras bears them no ill will, as he considers everyone in the guild to be his family. He demonstrates this attitude even towards former enemies. Ras has even gone as far as defending Laxus from being expelled, despite his attempt at taking over the guild. Due to his reckless nature, Ras's fights usually ends with widespread destruction. Ras's love of fighting has allowed him to develop a rather strategic mind, helping him to, on various occasions, find weaknesses in his opponent's techniques, or simply weaknesses his opponents themselves possess. Ras has also defeated his opponents with pure wit, rather than brute strength. Ras, befitting his recklessness and love of fighting, never backs out of a fight.


Ras was very close to Lisanna, as was his brother, and, because of this, after her supposed death, no one in Fairy Tail mentioned her out of respect for their feelings. However, after Lisanna's return to Earth Land from Edolas, this is no longer the case.


As a Dragon Slayer, Ras suffers from motion sickness. Ras becomes sick from riding on any form of transportation, even if the transportation happens to be other people, as shown when he was carried by Lucy. This, however, does not apply to Wraith, as he considers him family, not transportation. Ras can become sick from looking at, or simply thinking about, any form of transportation. In spite of his naturally dense nature, Ras is quite perceptive and understanding of his friend's feelings. After his battle with Gildarts during the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, Ras came to understand and accept fear, and has used this acceptance to help his guildmates and himself emotionally grow. Prior to this event, Erza’s wrath (albeit for comic relief), transportation, and the Magic Council were the only things that Ras feared.

History

400 years ago, Ras was born as the older brother of Zeref, however, he died at a young age alongside their parents, courtesy of a Dragon attack. This caused Zeref to research Magic and its relation to life and death and, much later, with Zeref using his dead body, he was revived as the reaper "death"; Zaref had also imbued his body with a certain type of lost magic able to manipulate all the elements, this magic was known simply as "ancient magic", Ras's purpose was to kill Zeref. Same as Natsu. As death, Ras was a reaper specializing in fire, ancient magic and corruption, due to his nature as "death" purportedly discovered a different route that Magic could take when it was still developing and thus created Curses. During this time he also met Igneel, however the Dragon chose not to kill him because he loved him extremely so.


From that point on, Igneel, the mighty Fire Dragon King, taught Ras how to talk, write, and perform his own signature form of Lost Magic: Fire Dragon Slayer Magic; Igneel ultimately chose, like four other Dragons of that time period, to seal his damaged soul inside both Ras and Nastu's bodies. Their brotherly link making its possible, and leap four hundred years into the future, recover his strength with the future's high Ethernano concentrations and kill Acnologia. While initially thought to have been abandoned by Igneel on July 7, X777, Igneel, July 7, X777 was the day and year he awoke in the future, like the other four Dragon Slayers; however, when Ras and Natsu woke, they believed that Igneel had abandoned them, not knowing that he had instead opted to reside inside their bodies for many years to come. The departure of E.N.D. And the reaper from the past also gave rise to many legends about the strongest Demon from Zeref's works, including his creation and leading of Tartaros (when in fact, Mard Geer happened upon E.N.D. And the reaper's tome and used them to create unify the other Etherious under a single cause and was the one who created Tartaros), and the fact that they were the most vile creation in Zeref's library of works.


After waking up, Ras and Natsu left on a quest to find Igneel and were eventually found by the Guild Master of Fairy Tail: Makarov Dreyar. They ended up joining Fairy Tail, in which they formed a close, sibling-like rivalry with Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet. They were also shown to be on good terms with Lisanna Strauss and Elfman Strauss not long after they arrived to the guild.


One day, Ras and Natsu found two eggs in the forest east of Magnolia. Thinking them to be Dragon Eggs, they took it to the guild and asked Makarov to make it hatch, but Makarov and Erza told him that he was the only one that could make the egg hatch; through love and care. Lisanna offered to help them care for the egg until it hatched, to which they happily accepted. The three built a shabby straw house in the park to


keep the egg warm, becoming very close in the process.


The next morning, they discovered that the eggs were missing, and began to blame several of their guildmates. After arguing with almost everyone in the Guild and nearly starting a fight with Mirajane, Elfman appeared, carrying the eggs, explaining that he only wanted to help, but was too embarrassed to ask. Suddenly, the eggs hatched and both a blue and black cats with wings came out. Lisanna remarked upon the sudden change in the guild's atmosphere after the cat's birth, prompting Natsu to name his cat Happy. While with Mirajane's slightly sadistic I put of had Ras's looked his was named Wraith.


A few years passed and Lisanna partook upon an S-Class job with her siblings, in which she was supposed to hunt a creature called "The Beast". Natsu and Ras wished to go with them, but Elfman opposed, as he felt he should be the one to take care of his family. Lisanna was accidentally killed (supposedly) by Elfman during his attempt at taking over the monster. Though Natsu and Ras forgave him, they was greatly saddened by the event.


After many years passed, Ras formed his own guild known as Fallen Beginnings. The name meaning even if one had the worst past possible, they would accept them and help them to become strong. Many of Fairy Tail went with him, mostly the well known members, Natsu, Gray, Erza Gajeel, Mira, being some of the members that accompanied him. Once finally built. Ras began prancing around on fire. Eventually irritating Erza to the point of fighting. But surprisingly he completely wiped the floor with her in battle. He told them he never stopped training and had improved immensely.

Fire Dragon Slayer Magic

Fire Dragon Slayer Magic (炎の滅竜魔法 Honō no Metsuryū Mahō): Ras is adept with his Dragon Slayer Magic and makes use of it in many different ways in combat. As with all Dragon Slayers, he can consume his respective element, with the exception of that which he has created, to replenish his energy reserves. The heat of his fire can increase in temperature, which is proportional to Ras's emotional state. Ras subconsciously used this against Erigor; his flame's heat significantly rose as he got more enraged. This is also called the Flame of Emotion. He incorporates the flames he ignites into his fighting style, greatly increasing the damage of his blows. As such, Ras's Magic revolves around the usage of fire that can spout from any part of his body. Ras's ability to eat flames gives him immunity to most types of flames, including explosions, and allows him to spew fire from his lungs. This fire is exceptionally strong - equivalent to a Dragon's fire - being able to burn even through metal. He can even use his flames to create a propulsive effect. The type of fire he uses can be changed. For example, it can be solidified to cling to surfaces. By the year X792, after one year of training, Ras has shown improved mastery over his Dragon Slayer Magic as he is now capable of taking out multiple opponents with just one attack, as shown when he challenged and effortlessly defeated the team of the newly announced No.1 guild in Fiore, Scarmiglione, and later was able to defeat Bluenote Stinger in one hit.

• Fire Dragon's Roar (火竜の咆哮 Karyū no Hōkō): Ras's signature Dragon's Roar in which he quickly gathers and releases a large quantity of flames from his mouth at his target.

Fire Dragon King's Spells

• Fire Dragon King's Demolition Fist (炎竜王の崩拳 Enryūō no Hōken): Ras first charges his fist, releasing a huge amount of fire in the process. After a brief delay, he punches his target with immense force so strong, in fact, that it shatters even the biggest of his foes to pieces.

• Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist (紅蓮火竜拳 Guren Karyūken): Ras rapidly punches his target, with his hands lit ablaze, creating a fiery explosion after each subsequent contact. Such a spell was shown to be able to defeat Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer, who, at the time, was utilizing his Iron Dragon's Scales, and destroy the entire Phantom Lord Guild Building. Ras also used this spell to defeat Erigor.
  

• Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade (紅蓮爆炎刃 Guren Bakuenjin): Ras swipes his arms in a circular fashion, creating a powerful, and highly destructive, torrent of flames that barrages his target. Ras habitually uses this spell as a finishing move, having employed against Laxus Dreyar at the end of their battle, used against Gildarts Clive as a finisher, which, notably, caused the mighty Mage to take a few steps back, and once more against Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, with which he completely overpowered the two, who were in Dragon Force, defeating them.

After unlocking his Second Origin, Ras experiences a noticeably less amount of strain.

• Lightning Fire Dragon's Roar (雷炎竜の咆哮 Raienryū no Hōkō): Ras's alternate, lightning-enhanced version of his Fire Dragon's Roar. Ras gathers and combines lightning and fire in his mouth, subsequently releasing them in a large, destructive, sparking blast. This spell is capable of traveling great distances, wreaking havoc wherever it passes, as shown when it crossed half of Tenrou Island, generating a large explosion. In spite of the fact that this spell is potentially powerful enough to kill a person, a single use is enough to heavily strain Ras's body and completely drain him of all his Magic Power.

• Lightning Fire Dragon's Firing Hammer (雷炎竜の撃鉄 Raienryū no Gekitetsu): Ras engulfs his fist and forearm in fire and lightning and devastatingly strikes his opponent.

Ras engulfs one hand in lightning and the other in flames.

This spell is powerful enough to defeat the almighty Guild Master of Grimoire Heart, Hades, in a single hit.
  

Black Fire Dragon Mode: After absorbing the flames of Dark Regulus, Ras is capable of combining these flames with his own for destructive effects. However, consumption of the flames of Dark Regulus rendered Ras temporarily immobile, he soon recovered and became able to use the Dragon Mode at will.

Dragon Force (竜の力, ドラゴンフォース Doragon Fōsu): By consuming Etherion or the Flame of Rebuke Ras has been shown to be able to enter Dragon Force. This ability is said to be the final and most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain, and it has been said that their power becomes comparable to that of a real Dragon's. Ras is the first known First generation Dragon Slayer to enter Dragon Force without consuming external sources.


Hidden Fire Form - Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade
(不知火型 紅蓮鳳凰剣 Shiranuigata Guren Hōōken): Ras ignites his entire body with fire, and then charges towards the target, sending them into the air with a sharp uppercut. Ras then, in a similar manner to Fire Dragon's Sword Horn, headbutts his target. This spell appears to be Ras's strongest, as it was able to overpower Zero's strongest spell, Genesis Zero, something that Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade could not, although, this could be because Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade relies on piercing power, rather than explosive power. This destructively unstoppable spell was used to defeat Zero.

Death Lordship

Ras, having been reincarnated as Death by Zaref Dragneel in a self fulfilling prophecy and is able to use nigh-omnipotent powers. Being Death has allowed his absolute and unrestricted control over the aspect of death. He is able to wither away anything his corruption touches and absorb the life force of any surrounding life sources. He is the destroyer or de-creator, the exact polar opposite of the creator or "God". Is is noted however that Ras wears a black Rosario on his arm, which was a gift from Zaref. This Rosario has the power to conceal and restrict all of his nigh-omnipotent death abilities to the point where he would appear a normal human power wise. Ras has demonstrated his inability to remove it himself, no matter how much he wants it to come off. It has never done so, only one person is able to remove it and that person is not yet known. But if he were to take it off he would return to his true form, his powers, abilities and personality would completely change if this was the case. And would revert back when the Rosario were replaced upon him.

• Corruption: Ras is able to call forth from his own body an unending sea of thick, pitch black water like liquid. This liquid seems to be an actual part of Ras and has the same withering properties.
  

• Gate of the damned: Ras has demonstrated the ability to call forth the gates of the damned and open them. Using this, he is able to summon any manner of creature or being that has ever died to serve as his own personal army. It would also appear that these beings have the same decaying abilities as Ras.
  

• Gatekeeper: Ras has shown the power to summon forth the gatekeeper. A being he claimed to serve as the guardian to the gates damned that allows passage to the underworld. This gargantuan is a being akin to one of Zaref's creations, stand an astounding height, it's head reaches just below a small mountain. It is a living skeleton wearing a large black cloak, it wields a large old fashioned wood handled scythe.
  

• Shiryō: Ras is able to summon forth an undead dragon called Shiryō. This dragon's roar attack is a black fire that has the same decaying properties as Ras. Coupled with its claws, teeth and diamond hard black scales, it's quite the formidable enemy. Unlike the other beings that serve Ras, this one is not merely a mindless puppet, he seems to have full control over his thoughts and will. He seems to serve Ras of his own free will describing himself as "honour bound" to Ras for setting him free of the chains of the underworld.
  

• Nigh-Omnipotence - As a primordial being who rivals God and being the eldest and most powerful member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Ras can do almost anything that he desires, possessing a great deal of incalculable supernatural power. Ras is so powerful that he is one of the few beings that can enter and leave Tartarus at will without the need of any assistance. Ras is also so powerful that he could even, completely kill an entire race simultaneously if he so wished.
  

• Nigh-Omniscience - Ras has an almost absolute awareness of the universe and therefore even exceeds that of the archangels, and is only rivaled by God.
  

• Immortality - Ras is exempt from all forms of pain, fatigue, disease, or death. He claimed to be the only thing to last forever.
  

• Invulnerability - As both a Horseman and a fundamental driving force, Ras is exempt from physical harm and pain and cannot be completely destroyed in any manner.
  

• Super strength - Ras's strength is incalculable; he could most likely undertake any physical weight.
  

• Resurrection - As he is literally the bringer of death, Ras can resurrect all forms of life back to any state he so desires. He even retrieved a friend's soul from Lucifer's Cage, without being hindered by the supernatural barriers strong enough to keep Michael and Lucifer locked inside. He could even bring multiple people back to life just with his passing. However, as it violates the Natural Order, he almost never does.
  

• Memory Manipulation - Ras was able to suppress Daeva's horrific memories of being in Hell, by placing the memories behind a "wall" he created in the back of her unconscious mind. It is notable, however, that this was not permanent, and eventually fell. Castiel was able to break it down, which led to Daeva regaining all of her memories of his time in Lucifer's Cage.
  

• Teleportation - He can teleport himself anywhere in the universe instantly. He could even teleport into and leave Lucifer's Cage.
  

• Weather Manipulation - Ras is able to create cataclysmic events so harsh that he can wipe the Earth or any number of planets clean of any and all life, simultaneously, like he did with the Great Flood of Genesis 6. He was going to wipe out an entire state with massive weather anomalies when Sheriko found him, on Lucifer's request, but later decided not to do it.
  

• Touch Necrokinesis - He can instantly kill anything or anyone in this manner. After being bumped into by a man walking in the opposite direction to him, Ras brushed his coat with his hand where the man had walked into him, killing him instantly. He was also going to kill Castiel, an Angel, imbued with 30-40 million souls and a large amount of Leviathans by touching his forehead. While not confirmed, he claims that eventually he will be the one who shall reap God.
  

• Invisibility - Like his brothers, Ras can only be seen when he wants to be seen.
  

• Supernatural Perception - He can tell what something truly is, regardless of how it appears, or if it is invisible. He could even tell Castiel was hosting Leviathan.
  

• Apporting - Ras is able to summon his scythe to him.
  

• Terrakinesis - Ras can rumble entire rooms to any magnitude he so desires; he has done this when he was released from his prison, and when he was bound.
  

• Thermokinesis - Ras can thermokinetically increase or decrease temperatures to any intensity he so desires. He caused his scythe to burn red-hot in order to make Dean drop it, simply by thinking about it.
  

• Death-force manipulation - Ras can create, shape and manipulate the essence of Death, which is present in all mortals throughout the universe and is the opposite power of Life-Force Manipulation; whereas Life-Force is the essence which allows life to flourish, Death-Force is that which causes things to wither, rot, weaken, and eventually die. Ras can sense and manipulate the essence that allows Death, Destruction, Decay, and Corruption to exist throughout the universe, allowing them to control decayed matter or to request assistance from the dead.
  

• Death empowerment - Ras become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. by the deaths of others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers.
  

• Death inducement - Ras can kill anyone and anything using varying means, either instantly, slowly over time, after certain conditions are met, or after a certain period of time has gone. May be used by touch, at a distance, simply willing it to happen, or performing certain ritual.
  

• Death sense - Ras is capable of sensing the coming of death, able to determine when someone is dead or dying or if others have died in a specific location. This extends to seeing the names and lifespans of those who's faces Ras sees.
  

• Fatal touch - Ras's body can kill anyone that touches it. This power is automatically activated with or without Ras's consent when an attack is used against him, even if he himself does not know of it in advance, it seems like a living entity protecting Ras with a mind of its own.
  

• Necromancy - When unrestrained by the Rosario, Ras's magical abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, the life-force and souls for good, evil or neither, depending on how he feels. Ras can also use communicate with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events, discover hidden knowledge, or for some other reason.
  

• Undead manipulation - Ras can rule both physical and ghostly undead, command the dead souls, condemn them to torment, or steal the souls of dead/dying to increase the the legions of undead.
  

• Death embodiment - Ras is the embodiment of death itself. This means that he can easily kill others, reap their souls when they die and take their souls to the afterlife. Ras could also bring about the apocalypse, causing deaths by the millions, possibly even billions. He can decide where a soul will go after death.
  

• Necroscience - Ras knows almost everything about/of death or anything that is related to the dead, including everyone who is dead, how they died, everything about their death, everything they went through, etc. Ras knows the time/method of how everyone is going to die and all the ways on how anything can and is supposed to die.
  

Ancient magic

Ancient magic (古代の魔法Kodai no mahō) Ras throughout his training with Michi and Toney learned ancient magic, and enough of it to kill himself if he were still human. He has enough spells to take on entire guilds and armies at ease. His intelligence allows him to analyse what makes up magic and thus manipulate it in any way. A few examples being. Magic combination: to fuse two spells, thus increasing its destructive power or area of affect. Complete magical nullification: to manipulate the static magical power through the entire battlefield. To a degree of the subatomic, creating a magicless area and rendering all magic based abilities useless. Ancient magic is extremely powerful but also extremely dangerous, it is also very difficult to master even a single spell, more than ten times harder than a normal spell. This being the reason it became a lost magic, but Ras with his genius level mind was able to master this magic with ease.


Basic Spells


Sagitta Magica (魔法の射手, Magic Archer) - One of the most basic attack spells, but also very versatile. The caster creates a number of elemental magic missiles and fires them at the target. The number can vary from just one to at least one thousand and one arrows, but in the manga is usually a prime number. Ras primarily uses Light arrows that cause explosive damage, Lightning arrows that paralysis the target if they hit in addition to the damage they do, Wind arrows which usually do not inflict damage but instead bind the target and currently darkness Arrows which has the same effect has light arrows. Ras also realizes that one can use their entire body to cast Sagitta Magica, and combines this with a full-body tackle.


Evocatio (Summon) is a spell used to summon spirits to aid the user in battle. This spell is similar to how Eastern mages utilize talismans in order to summon demons to assist them. These elemental spirits that serve the caster can be directed to attack or capture an enemy.


Refectio (活力全快, Recovery) - After studying non-stop for 3 days and escaping from Library Island, Ras's students were too tired and drowsy to focus. By using a flower as a catalyst, Ras casts a spell which refreshes their minds and made them more alert. This allows them to concentrate on the 2nd year midterm exams and help the class attain the highest average on said midterms.


Fila Nigra Promissiva (Self Sealing Spell) - This spell was used by Ras to disable his ability to use magic for three days, in order to help his students study for the upcoming final exams. It's probably possible to change the number of days (or possibly days to weeks, etc) by altering the incantation (changing tria into unum and tres into unus could probably seal the user's magic for only one day).


Extrasensoria Perceptio (超感覚知覚, Extrasensory Perception), also known as ESP, is basic cognitive magic to perceive the outside world. When referring to perception outside the world it means outside the realm of the "normal" senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). This means telepathy, clairvoyance, perceiving future events among the various abilities.


Wind Spells


Flans Exarmatio (風花武装解除, Windflower Disarmament) is a spell that blows off, with a powerful wind, items attached to the opponent's body. Clothing and other light things are changed into flower petals. The sole purpose is to disarm an opponent of weapons, so no matter how strong the wind is, it will not blow away the opponent herself.


Flans Saltatio Pulverea (風花　風塵乱舞, Windflower Dust Storm) - Causes a powerful wind to blow in the direction cast. First used by Ras to put out the fire spell cast by Chigusa Amagasaki when she kidnapped Konoka Konoe for the first time during the Kyoto Trip Arc. Later, he used it to create a smokescreen of water spray to reach Konoka.


Deflexio (風楯, Wind Shield) is a simple anti-physical protective magic. While its actual defensive capabilities are low compared to Flans Paries Aerialis, it is much more long-lasting and can be maintained indefinitely.


Flans Paries Aerialis (風花　風陣壁, Windflower Wind Barrier) is a defensive shield spell which surrounds the mage and can stop a 10-ton truck. Usually, an incantation is required to disable the barrier.


Flans Paries Venti Vertentis (風花旋風　風障壁, Windflower Whirlwind, Barrier of Wind) is a defensive spell that creates a tornado around the mage, using the intense air currents as a protection against outside threats. This effect can last from two to three minutes.


Vente (風よ, Wind) is a simple training spell that creates a sudden gust of wind. While lacking in force, it can for example reduce momentum while falling and soften landings, making it useful in unexpected situations – suddenly being transported four thousand metres into the air, for instance.


Nebula Hypnotica (眠りの霧, Mists of Sleep) is a spell which creates a mist capable of making all opponents caught inside it to fall asleep.


Lightning Spells


Fulguratio Albicans (白き雷, White Lightning) - A powerful blast of electricity from the caster's palm. It is very powerful against living targets, but not as effective against inanimate objects.


Iaculatio Fulgoris (雷の投擲, Lightning Spears) - A spell that attacks by releasing electrically charged magical javelins. Because the projectiles released are javelins and not arrows, each one of them is stronger than an arrow of thunder, and has greater physical destructive power. However, because they mimic the shape of a javelin, they are easier to dodge than its direct version "Fulguratio Albicans".


Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens (雷の暴風, Jupiter's Storm Of Thunder) - This is one of the most powerful long-range magic attacks. The caster combines Wind and Thunder magic and unleashes them at the enemy in a massive storm of destructive energy.


Διος Τυκος (雷の斧, Axe of Lightning) - A medium-range but powerful Lightning-element attack that is invoked in Ancient Greek , as opposed to Latin. The caster makes a downward-sweeping motion and hits the target with a massive electrical attack.


Κιλιπλ Άστραπή (千の雷, Thousand Thunderbolts) - An extremely destructive, wide-range spell, widely considered to be among the most powerful lightning spells in existence. A test of an incomplete version by Ras Gideon vaporised half of a floating boulder 100m long and reduced the rest to melting slag. Because of its wide area of effect, typically the Thousand Thunderbolts is reserved for use against entire armies at once unless focused.


Lightning Decoy - Ras creates a clone of himself made out of lightning, that is able to fool the enemy.


Thousand-Decoy Barrier - Ras creates a thousand lighting clones to attack, block or sheild from attacks, and distract the enemy.


Chiha Yabura Ikazuchi - An original spell created by Ras, achieved via Magia Erebea's Ή ΆΣΤΡΑΠΗ΄ ΎΠΕ΄Ρ ΟΥ΄ΡΑΝΟ΄Υ ΜΕΤΑ ΔΥΝΑ΄ΜΕΝΗ form. This spell is used by Ras changing electrical energy around him and making a full body tackle with high destructive power.


Byakuraishō (白雷掌, lit. "White Lightning Palm") An original spell created by Ras, achieved via Magia Erebea's Actus Noctis Erebeae from. This is used by absorbing Fulguratio Albicans using Dextra Stagnans than releasing it using Dextra Emittam after making physical contact with the target.


Διος Λογχη Τιτανο-κτονον (雷神槍「巨神殺し」; Raijinsō: Kyojin-Goroshi; Thunder Deity Spear: "Titan-Slayer") - This spell combines the enormous magical power of "[Κιλιπλ Άστραπή]]" with the magical spear created by "Διος Τυκος," resulting in a gigantic magical spear crackling with the raw power of the greatest lightning magic. He used it as his 4th "Trump Card" against Rakan at the Final Round.


Halebarda Fulgoris (魔杖雷鉾槍, Magic Staff Lightning Halberd) -This spell allows Ras to change lightning though his staff and change it to a Halberd of lightning which has the power to break through an army of demons.


Kokuryū Raigō (黒龍雷迎, lit. "The Advent of the Black Dragon's Lightning") - An original spell created by Ras, achieved via Magia Erebea's beast mode which is used by Ras absorbing the Thousand Thunderbolts (Khiliarkhou Astrape) spell using Dextra Stagnans than releasing it using Dextra Emittam after making physical contact with the target, releasing black lightning that has enough power to damage the opponent and the surrounding area.


Τιτανοκτονον II: Iaculatio Vortices Tempestatis (巨神ころしII「暴風の螺旋槍」; Kyojin-Goroshi II: Bōfū No Ransensō; Titan-Slayer II: Windstorm Spiral Spear) This original spell merges the magical power of Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens with the magical spear of "Διος Τυκος," creating a giant, electrified spiraled dart.


Ice Spells


Ensis Exsequens (断罪の剣, Sword of Conviction) - A high-level attack spell used by Evangeline and Ras, so far shown to be unincanted. When invoked, the caster's desired hand is wrapped with magical energy, which stabs outward in the direction of the outstretched fingertips in the rough approximate form of a blade. In terms of its effects, Ensis Exsequens causes damage by instantly converting matter from a solid (or liquid) into a gas, via a violent phase transition in order to attack its target; any living opponent caught within such an effect would thus be instantly vaporized and killed.


Fire Spells


Incendium Gehennae (奈落の業火, Hellfire Conflagration) - A Fire and Darkness-element spell which appears to create a large explosion of black flames at the target area. It traps the victim in a tornado of the black flames.


Reinforcement Spells


Cantus Bellax (戦いの歌, Song of Battle) - A form of physical reinforcement used by a mage in preparation for close combat. Aside from providing a long-lasting anti-physical shield, this magic also exponentially increases muscle tension, allowing greater power, speed and endurance; it also increases the flexibility of muscles and tendons to prevent the mage damaging himself from overexertion. In addition, the mage’s reflexes are enhanced by a moderate increase in the stimulation of the nervous system. Previously, Ras had to forcibly make a contract with himself to divert large amounts of mana back to his own body – a magic based on the Pactio‘s mana supply system. This is the completed form of the technique which Eva taught him.


Melodia Bellax (戦いの旋律, Melody of Battle) - A more advanced form of Cantus Bellax used to achieve extremely high agility by supplying mana to all parts of the body.


Vis Maxima (最大出力, Maximum Output) - The spell to draw out the maximum performance of reinforcement magic such as Cantus Bellax. Due to the increase in mana upkeep requirements, the duration of this spell is fairly short.


Movement Techniques


Shundō (Instant Movement) - A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. This is used by concentrating ki or magic power into the feet to get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps. It's important that when going from point A to point B that you hold to the ground with the inside of your feet or you will simply trip.


Koku Shundō (虚空瞬動, Void Instant Movement) - A form of instant movement that allows the user to use instant movement on the air by bouncing off it.


Raisoku Shundō (雷速瞬動, lit. Lightning-speed Instant Movement) - An original spell created by Ras, achieved via Magia Erebea's Ή ΆΣΤΡΑΠΗ΄ ΎΠΕ΄Ρ ΟΥ΄ΡΑΝΟ΄Υ ΜΕΤΑ ΔΥΝΑ΄ΜΕΝΗ form. It is a type of Shundo that enables Ras to move in the speed of lightning, which is relatively 150 km/s (about 93 miles/second). During his fight with Rakan, this was Ras's 2nd Trump Card.


Magia Erebea


Magia Erebea (闇の魔法, Dark Magic ) is a forbidden technique created by Evangeline A.K. McDowell over a period of 10 years, in which the user absorbs offensive magic designed to harm the enemy into his own body, to the point where it fuses with their very soul. The technique feeds on the user's body and soul, but in return the user gains power many times that of any ordinary person.


Actus Noctis Erebeae (闇き夜の型, Form of the Dark Night): This is the regular form the user of the technique takes when they want to store magical spells within themselves without canceling the previous Magia Erebea. By incanting "Supplementum", they will absorb the magic into themselves, but not merge with it, where they can release it at a later time.


Agilitas Fulminis (疾風迅雷, Lightning Speed): By absorbing Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens, the mage gains extreme agility in exchange for lower defensive capabilities. The mage’s movements become electrified, allowing for stunning physical attacks. Projectile attacks can be deflected by an air current magic shield.


Sim Fabricatus Ab Incendio (獄炎煉我, Gokuenrenka, Literally "Hell's Refining Fire") is the form that takes the magic power from "Flames of Hell (Incendium Gehennae)" into one’s flesh and fuses it with the spirit. In doing so, the caster’s flesh gains powerful hardness and resistance to heat.


Ή ΆΣΤΡΑΠΗ΄ ΎΠΕ΄Ρ ΟΥ΄ΡΑΝΟ΄Υ ΜΕΤΑ ΔΥΝΑ΄ΜΕΝΗ (雷天大壮, Raiten Taisō, Literally "Thunder in Heaven, Great Vigor") is the form that takes the power from "Thousand Lightning Bolts (Kilipl Astrapê)" into one’s flesh and fuses it with the spirit. In doing so, the caster becomes a mass of electrically charged particles.


ΤΑΣΤΡΑΠΗ ΎΠΕΡ ΟΥΡΑΝΟΎ ΜΕΓΑ ΔΥΝΑΜΕΝΗ (雷天大壮 2, Raiten Taisō II, Literally "Thunder in Heaven, Great Vigor II"): Powered by two "Κιλιπλ Άστραπή" spells, this form enables Ras to assume a "constant lightning form" and grants an added bonus of accelerated thought processes and increased physical maneuverability. It was used as Ras's 3rd "Trump Card" during his fight against Rakan.


Rasica Magia Erebea: Shōheki Hakaishō Shisaku Gogō (ネギ流闇の魔法　障壁破壊掌試作伍号, lit. "Ras-Style Dark Magic Barrier Destruction Palm, Experimental Version Five") - An original spell created by Ras, achieved via Magia Erebea. This is done by Ras turning his hand into the one gained by Magia Erebea's beast mode, allowing Ras to break any barrier, even the barrier given to the disciples of the Lifemaker.

Skills and Abilities

Mahouken


Mahouken (魔法拳 Magic Fist) is Ras's signature combat technique, which supplements his oriental martial arts with Western magic, creating the following magical-based fighting techniques


Fūka Hōken (風華崩拳, lit. "Crushing Fist of Majestic Winds"): This technique supplements his striking hand with numerous wind-elemental Sagitta Magica that release upon contact.


Ōka Hōken ([最大]桜華崩拳, lit. "Crushing Fist of Majestic Cherry Blossoms"): This technique supplements his striking hand with light-elemental Sagitta Magica for an electrified physical strike. This spell was strong enough to damage Takamichi considerably.


Raika Hōken (雷華崩拳, lit. "Crushing Fist of Majestic Lightning"): This magic-based striking technique supplements with striking hand with lightning-elemental Sagitta Magica. This move is powerful enough to send Takamichi flying but it wasn't enough to damage him considerably.


Ōkasōshō, Taikō Chōgyosei (桜華槍衝、太公釣魚勢, lit. "Piercing Lance of Cherry Blossom Majesty, Archduke Angler Dominator") - Similar to Oka Hoken but Ras uses the lightning element Sagitta Magica's through his staff instead of his fist causing piercing damage.


Martial Arts Techniques


Ras learned to styles of Chinese Martial Arts from Ku Fei. First, Hakkeshou (八卦掌, Baguazhang) an internal/soft style which specialises in free-flowing stances designed to maneuver around an opponent, and using full rotations of the body to deflect an opponent’s attack, using the same motion to increase the power of a counter strike. Second, Hakkyokuken (八極拳, Bajiquan) an external/hard style that emphasizes simple, direct, explosive strength at close range. Together the two of these together allows Ras to have a great balance in his fighting.


Hakkyokuken


Tenshinkoda - A technique where Ras spins to avoid his enemy's punch to get with their guard. While turning towards them he sends a backhand towards their face.


Rokutaikai Chou - A technique where Ras grabs the wrist of the opponent to drag them into close quarters with him. This easily allows him to launch another quick attack that will be difficult to dodge, like Kakuda Chouchuu.


Hachidaishoshiki: Zetsusho - Tsutenpou (Eight Extremity Fist, Eight Large Maneuver: Special Technique - Sky-Reaching Cannon) -


Hon Shin Kou Ryuu (Flipping Dragon Descend) A technique where Ras will begin to somersault. He then comes spinning down, preforming a horizontal chop on his opponent from above, seemingly using the momentum gained in the previous fall to increase the force behind his strike.


Kou Kai Mon (Hard Open Gate) A technique where Ras smashes his elbow into his opponent causing powerful blunt damage.


Haou Sekkou (覇王折江, lit. "Tyrannical Crooked River")- A technique where he attacks the opponent with a double fisted strike. Ras used it with Magia Erebea's Ή ΆΣΤΡΑΠΗ΄ ΎΠΕ΄Ρ ΟΥ΄ΡΑΝΟ΄Υ ΜΕΤΑ ΔΥΝΑ΄ΜΕΝΗ form by charging electrical energy around both fist to enhance the strike.


Kyuu Ho Chuu Ken (BowStep Fist Thrust) - A technique where Ras steps forward and with the thrust of his body initiates a hard punch. This technique can be enhanced by using one Lightning Sagitta Magica arrow to add considerable power to his punch.


Kakuda Chouchuu (Beckoning Strike, Pinnacle Elbow) - A techniqeue where Ras steps into the body of the opponent and sharply elbows them in the chest. Ras likes to enhance this attack with lightning through either a Sagitta Magica or Magia Erebea's Ή ΆΣΤΡΑΠΗ΄ ΎΠΕ΄Ρ ΟΥ΄ΡΑΝΟ΄Υ ΜΕΤΑ ΔΥΝΑ΄ΜΕΝΗ form. With the lightning enhanced elbow strike into the targets chest it discharges lighting causing piercing and blunt damage.


Gaimon Chouchuu (Outer Gate Elbow Thrust)


Hakkeshou


Soutoushou (双撞掌, Dual Striking Palms)


Gokuen Hozan Takutenshō (獄炎崩山托天掌, lit. "Hellfire Mountain-Crushing, Heaven-Bearing Palm") - A single heavy palm thrust to the chest of the opponent. Ras enhanced the power of the technique by using it in Magia Erebea's Sim Fabricatus Ab Incendio form. The spell hits the target with a close-range heatwave.


Physical and intellectual capabilities


Enhanced Smell: Ras has a very keen sense of smell. Ras could easily distinguish Kaby as a poor man, rather than a rich one, from his smell, even though he was temporarily living in his friend's expensive house to appear otherwise. Ras could also, as a result of their prior encounter, track Ultear via scent, despite the large distance between them.


Enhanced Hearing: Ras, according to himself, possesses exceptionally good hearing, something which, during the Grand Magic Games, was proven true. During Lucy Heartfilia's fight with Flare Corona, the latter was threatening Asuka Connell with the help of her hair. Ras was seemingly the only one who could hear their low conversation, and thus reacted accordingly by protecting the girl from the threat, allowing Lucy to continue fighting. He has also proven himself to be able to hear the voices of the Alvarez soldiers searching for a spy from way out at sea.


Immense Strength: Ras has shown on numerous occasions to possess a high degree of strength, enough for him to perform a number of physical feats, among which are freely swinging around the mast of a ship as a makeshift weapon, doing the same with a palm tree he personally broke, bare-handed, shattering a billiard table and cracking most of its balls simply by hitting one of them with the cue, and stopping the gargantuan Dorma Anim's foot, which was going to crush him and his fellow Dragon Slayers, all by himself, subsequently throwing the robotic Dragon off balance by rapidly pushing it away. Furthermore, he was capable of battling both Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, alone, while they were in Dragon Force, easily over-powering the two with his sheer physical strength. Furthermore, Ras is able to lift a very large boulder, given the fact that he was already injured from Franmalth's Curse, and used it in order to defeat the Demon. After a year of training, Ras has also demonstrated the ability to move under the influence of Bluenote Stinger's gravitational field, something eight years before which he was not able to do, though Ras was in a suspended state for seven of those years while Bluenote was not.


Enhanced Reflexes: Ras possesses fast reflexes, having been capable of dodging attacks from Erza, Laxus and, most recently, attacks from Sting.


Enhanced Speed: Ras's speed and reflexes are impressive, enough for him to close great distances in a blink of an eye and dodge swift attacks.


Immense Durability: Ras has proven himself to be incredibly durable. He has managed to take continual, deadly assaults from foes and continue fighting. Such impressive resistance was first shown during his battle with Erigor, in which he received wounds from his opponent's strong, sharp wind, and kept fighting on, nonetheless. Also, during his fight with Cobra, Ras displayed a natural resistance against the Oración Seis' member's poison, described as lethal and corrosive. A true testament to his durability was shown when he blocked one of Sting Eucliffe's strongest attacks, Holy Nova, with a single hand, and emerged completely unscathed from the enormous explosion that followed the impact.


Immense Magic Power: By the year X792 after one year of training, Ras's Magic Power has increased to the point where it was unrecognizable to Lucy, but great enough that it prompted her to evacuate everyone out of the Domus Flau despite the presence of many powerful Mages. Ras can exert his Magic Power in the form of an enormous scalding aura that can generate heat of such magnitude that it is capable of melting the entirety of the stone coliseum, as well as burn off the clothes of any nearby individuals. This displays some level of control of his aura, however, as nobody was actually harmed by the heat, and his and Happy's clothes remained untouched.


Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Ras is an extremely proficient unarmed fighter, often using his Dragon Slayer Magic in combination with punches, kicks, and even headbutts, to combat his opponents to great effect. Such skill is paired with amazing physical prowess: aside from his strength, Ras has displayed high degrees of speed, agility and reflexes, enough for him to match melee-specialists of Erza's caliber in battle. After 1 year training, Ras was able to defeat 3 members of Avatar - the successor of former Dark Guilds - in quick succession despite their own prowess.


Genius-Level Intellect: Ras has shown himself to be remarkably intelligent, analytical, perceptive, and deductive. This is shown by the fact that despite being almost untrained, he is able to qualify as a general level strategist. Ras is also capable of teaching advanced academic classes, despite his work as a mage. Aside from that, Ras appears to be able to determine the pattern of his opponent's battle methods and correctly deduce a proper counter-strategy to defeat his opponent's attacks. This was best displayed during his fight with Klaus, when he managed to fight the latter to a draw thanks to a series of elaborate battle strategies that involved the use of numerous 'Trump Cards'. Ras's intellect is one of the key skills of his leadership abilities.


Swordsmanship Specialist: Ras has been shown using a short sword several times, and wields an artefact called the "Ensis Exorcizans," with sufficient skill to overmatch Sheriko's "flame blade" in their fight, but it might just be because of the "Ensis Exorcizans"'s innate magic disruption/cancellation abilities. However, he is still shown to be skilled with a sword as he displays great use of his magical sword Ensis Exsequens.


Master Ancient Magic Spell Caster: Ras has shown time and time again that he is talented at using advanced spells and incantation like "Κιλιπλ Ἀστραπέ" and techniques like "Magica Erebea". He is also an expert at developing new spells (thunder god spear: titan slayer) and new ways of using old spells (Ōka Hōken). He is also an expert at delayed spells, being able to use them as effective surprise attacks in combat, which is considered a highly advanced and difficult skill to master.


Fire Element, Wind Element and Lightning Element Specialist: Ras has a strong affinity for fire, wind and lightning magic. He is well known for using wind, fire and lightning magic and can learn spells of these elements perhaps faster than anything else. And can easily become extremely efficient in using them. He mastered the high level long range spell "Jupiter's Storm Of Thunder" which combines both wind and lightning magic before he had any combat experience or training. Also, his affinity for wind and lightning element give him speed and reflexes (respectively) beyond that of a normal human being. His wind and lightening magic was mainly taught to him by one of his masters, Michi Jurichiro.


Enhanced Physical Capabilities: Due to his transformation to a primordial being or the horseman of the apocalypse "death" Ras's physical abilities reached new heights. His strength rivals that of Labyrinthian Thoroughfare "Lucifer" and his endurance is now so high that he no longer needs to enter his perpetual lighting form in order to take hits from the likes of Jesimuel. His regenerative abilities now allow him to heal from any wound in a short period of time, and finally his reflexes also evolved to new heights.

Limiters/restraints

Black Rosario


Ras wears a black rosario which conceals and suppresses all of his Death Lordship powers. It was given to him by Mavis Vermilion as a gift from Zaref, his brother.


Trench coat


Inside of Ras's trench coat are hundreds of weights, each being heavy enough to destroy a house if dropped on top of it. As shown by Ras when he demonstrated it. The purpose is to limit the strength he can output to a normal level when fighting weaker opponents and have more enjoyable fights. When he takes off his coat, it's a sign that he's becoming serious, although as he wears no shirts under it, it leave his upper half completely bare much like when Gray fights as commented by Natsu moments before Ras sucker munched him through the guild's bar and past Mirajane, which, of course, started another famous guildwide brawl.

Former magic and abilities

Ushi no Koku Mairi (丑の刻参り Ushi no Koku Mairi): During his fight with Kain Hikaru, Ras briefly gained possession of Kain's doll, Mr. Cursey, and utilized its abilities.

• Fire Dragon Slayer Doll: Ras uses his Fire Dragon Slayer techniques and ignites Mr. Cursey, which, at the time, would need to have Mai's hair, causing the fire to appear on Mai, herself. Mai, however, is unharmed by the flames and can use them to her own advantage.
  

• Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (Maiko Version): While using Fire Dragon Slayer Doll, Mai, under Ras's control, punches her opponent with great force.
  

• Secret Attack: Mai Fire (秘密の攻撃：舞火災 Himitsu no kōgeki: Mai hi): While Mr. Cursey has been lit with Fire Dragon Slayer Magic flames, thereby causing Mai herself to become ignited in flames, Wraith, holding Mr. Cursey, flies at the target, using Max Speed, causing Mai to do the same, hitting the intended target with great force.
  

Equipment

Sealed Flame Blade (封炎剣 Fūen Ken) (former): When Ras could not employ his Dragon Slayer Magic in Edolas, he fought using a Magic Item from Edolas that manifested its power as a destructive blade of flames. However, the blade's Magic was depleted after one use, due to Ras's lack of skill with it and his habitual carelessness.


Igneel's Trench Coat: It is a coat given to Ras by his foster father, which he always wears to remember him by. The coat is black, decorated with scale-like patterns, and serves as good-luck charm of sorts, warding off misfortune. When Ras was hit by Zeref's Ankhseram Black Magic, the scarf served as his shield, but the exposure to the Magic caused it to turn white, the colour of his brother's scarf, which led to a unnecessarily serious debate over switching coat for scarf. During the time it was tainted, Wendy was unable to heal Ras, so, in order to heal him, she had to reverse and remove the evil spell on the coat.


Celestial Spirit Banishment Key (former): Banishes the Lion, Leo.


Magic antiques: Ras is a collector of antique magic tools, such as: magic guns, catalysts, tools and equipment.


Excalibur: Ras carries a short sword able to cut through magic power. This allows him to cut any spell thrown at him, as well as this it can emit a impenetrable barrier of magic. But this shield is like a two sided sword although he cannot be harmed within the shield he also cannot attack, making it a very precarious ability.


Staff: Ras carries a magic staff that was gifted to him from his masters when he finished his training. He carries it as a badge of office if you will. Ras is almost never seen without his staff. He also carries it for personal reasons, to remind himself how weak he once was and not to take the power he now has for granted.
