===POWERS===
Powers:Demonic Blood Magic: Using his weapon, Senshuken makes every attempt to acquire an opponent's blood, where upon consuming it he draws his demonic symbol on the ground with his host bodies blood ( A circle with a squire on the inside). This process somehow "links" his body with his opponent's. Once this link is established, Senshuken takes on a Grim Reaper-like appearance, with black skin and white bone-like markings. His hair will even change to a bone white color. In this state, he is essentially a living voodoo doll for his opponent; any damage that is done to him is also inflicted on the opponent. Senshuken referred to this as his "curse", and he is known for toying with his victims by inflicting non-fatal injuries with whatever weapons he has on hand, while taking every chance he could get to demand that they give up. Once he was done trying to converse with the opponent, or if he wanted to kill them quickly, he impales himself through the heart, killing them. Despite the fact that Senshuken the demonic entity would survive such a killing blow, any body he is in control of at the time will become useless for possession and he will be forced to abandon it, leaving the mortal world for an unknown amount of time while he hunts for a new body.
Despite its effectiveness, the curse has many requirements, and can be a slow technique to employ. The curse can be avoided if the opponent happens to know what to look out for, and knows of Senshuken's inability to die. The link between Senshuken's curse and his opponent could be broken prematurely if Senshuken was removed from the symbol; However, Senshuken would remain in his transformed state, allowing the curse to be easily re-established by him simply entering the symbol's borders once more.
Demonic Immortally: Like all demons, Senshuken is immune to death by old age and disease. While walking the mortal plane, he even has a backup plan in case the worst happens and he is 'killed'. Instead of undergoing a typical death like mortals, Senshuken's essence returns to his own private realm to recover from the shock of death. Just how long recovery takes depends on the method of his death on Earth. A death that has white magic behind it or was insanely brutal often takes longer then a clean kill.
While he can't be killed on Earth, if someone were to break into his realm while he was recovering and slain for a second time, he would be completely destroyed.
Possession: Like all demons of his rank, Senshuken can possess the bodies of the living and dead. In order to open up a body to possession, his mark (Circle with a squire inside.) needs to be cut or burned into the flesh of his intended vessel. The mark acts as an entry point into the body, as well as sending out a signal into the void in order for Sen to locate them.
Possessing a living body is one of the hardest things a demon can do. Whenever a demon possesses a living human, the situation is like sticking two normal people into the same suit at the same time. If the host is willing, the situation is uncomfortable for both demon and human but doable for a short term goal. If the host is unwilling, the human and demon often fight each other over control of different parts of the body at the same time and is rather painful on both fronts.
How long Senshuken can stay in a body with a living soul in it depends greatly on if the host is willing or not. Two souls in the one body causes the life in that body to be drained a hell of a lot faster then it should be. If Sen stays for too long, the body will burn out and burst into flame from the stress of holding two spirits at once. The more the host soul struggles, the quicker the life in the body will be lost. The longest that Sen can stay in a willing host is three days.
A dead body on the other hand is much more simple to take over then a living one. Since the soul has already vacated the body, it is simply an empty shell to be filled. An added bonus to this is that since the body is already devoid of life, killing it is rather difficult. The only organs that are vital to the take over are the heart and the brain; as long as those two organs are in relatively working order Senshuken can use the body. The fresher and more intact the body, the longer Sen can delay decay and rot through magical means. Ideally, Sen can spend decades in a good body before the rot finally drives him out.
Because he requires a physical shell to stay in the mortal plane that is Earth, the destruction of a possessed body would force him back to his own dimension. Just how long he stays there varies from a matter of hours to years at a time. In order to leave one body and take over another one, Sen has to return to his own realm first and stay there for a few hours to build up the strength needed to make the transfer. He cannot just go from Point A to Point B, he needs to go from Point A to Point C to Point B.

Personality:Senshuken is a strange example of a demon lord. While he is able to plot and scheme with the best of them, the son of Bhelen doesn't spend that much time in hell. Instead, he spends almost all of his in the mortal realm by using host bodies as mediums. The reason he does this is because humanity is fascinating. Taking the view that humans were already doing a well enough job of damning themselves without him, Senshuken takes great pleasure just sitting back and watching earth go to hell around him.
That isn't to say that he does nothing while he is on Earth. Using a supernatural ability for computers, the demon lord of human enlightenment often scans for scientific projects and business maneuvers that are ethically questionable, if not out right illegal. Whenever he finds one, Senshuken does everything in his power to make annoying little things like red tape, funding problems and certain threats that the authorities might pose are removed from the creative process. Oddly enough since the creation of Luther Corp, Senshuken has managed to get no less then twenty seven jobs doing exactly what he had been doing for free.
Unlike most demon lords, Senshuken rarely requests souls as legal tender for his deals with mortals, as well as honoring his deals without thoughts of betrayal. In part this is to ensure that when humans were looking for a demon to make a pact with he was pretty high on the list, but there is more to it then that. Senshuken has high standards for the souls he does collect, preferring to wait decades just to lay claim to just one soul rather then collect hundreds of worthless ones.
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Family: Bhelen (Father, Former Demon lord of Human Enlightenment. Destroyed by a pack of zealots at the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire.)
Basilia (Mother, Human. Deceased.)
Cyrus (Sister, Demoness of Lust.)
Place of Origin: Rome.
Current City: Steel City
History: Senshuken was born in the city of Rome during the height of the Roman Empire. His mother, a human woman named Basilia, made a pact with the 'God' of Enlightenment at the time. In exchange for Bhelen saving her from a lifetime of slavery and pain, she would be the vessel for his children. Despite the fact that their mother was a human, both Senshuken and his little sister Cyrus were born completely demon. When Senshuken asked his father about this, Bhelen simply told him that it was just a side effect of the pact that had existed between him and Basilia.
When a new cult started to rise up, Bhelen was the first of the demon lords to take notice of them. While the others were too busy with their silly little power struggles, Bhelen saw the depth of the threat that these 'Christians' were to the Empire he had helped create. Senshuken was a willing soldier in his fathers war against the upstart cult, using politics to ensure that only loyal humans had any real power over mainstream faith. He even went so far as to burn down a decent chunk of Rome itself to attempt to stop the faith from spreading.
In the end, it wasn't enough. A team of zealots broke into Bhelen's realm and destroyed him there, ending him for good. While Senshuken hunted down each of the people who murdered his father and killed them, but it didn't matter anymore. Bhelen's death marked the beginning of the end for the Roman Empire.
During the Dark and Middle ages, Senshuken didn't have much to do with humanity. While he was summoned countless times, it was mostly by half crazed mad men who wanted the secrets of turning lead into gold and creating a elixir to make them immortal. The first time this happened, Sen told the man the truth. Turning lead into gold simply wasn't possible and immortality was beyond his reach. The man ignored his advice and continued to waste his life on the impossible.
After that encounter, Sen took a different approach to the problem. Instead of telling them that it was impossible, he told them that it wasn't possible because they lacked the technology. He would then point them in the 'right' direction, leading them to create other things in pursuit of their impossible goal.
During the 18th century, Senshuken's interest in humanity returned. People started to want to expand their minds again and since religious prosecution of seeking such knowledge had been greatly lessened, a lot of high standing people were making personal calls to him. On his birthday in 1789, Sen made an appearance at an indoor tennis court in Paris. His actions there changed the mortal world by helping to reintroduce democracy.
As the 19th century rolled in, human creativity really got underway. With industry taking off and money being spread around, more people had access to free time and boredom then ever before. Demon worshiping cults were growing in power and with overpopulation of the cities growing into more of a problem bodies right for possession were common place. The world hadn't been this demon friendly since the days of the Roman Empire.
While things cooled down a little during the 20th century, Senshuken was well set up on Earth. He kept updated with the newly evolved technologies, knew how to hide if need be and had a loyal cult to draw willing host bodies from.
In the current day and age, Senshuken is sitting back and enjoying the world he has been connected too for over two thousand years. Using the alias of an information broker named Mr Ketsueki, Senshuken controls all the information that goes in and out of his current lair of Steel City. He knows that one day this wonderful period of time will come to an end and if need be he will fight to protect it.
Sample RP(I know that this isn't a sample for this character, but it is a sample of my work. I don't have the time right now to do it. Might as well have something up for you to judge.)
It had only taken three hours to set up, and the minions had been more then happy to do it. However, the problem was the three weeks waiting after the lightning rods had been put into place. At last, as Rama watched as the over sized glass tube with the newest project was placed on the table that would raise to meet the thunderstorm above, he looked happy. In fact, he might easily go the whole day without any of his urges.As the time came close at hand, Rama reared his head back, and gave out the command he had been waiting weeks to give. " Throw the lever, Igor!".
A cough came from behind him, next to where a giant lever was located in the wall. " Sir, my name isn't Igor.". While the smile remained on Rama's face, his eyes quickly filled with a burning passion of hate as he slowly turned around on the tips of his toes to glare at the man who had, until now, been know to Rama only as Igor. While the man in question was pale, Rama didn't really pay attention to any detail other then the fact that the man had told him he wasn't Igor. " What did you just say?" Was all Rama asked, seemingly waiting patently.
" As I just said, my name isn't Ig..." The rest of the sentence was cut off. Eyewitness to the event would later claim that what happened was a large ball of fire appeared, devoured the fool who claimed his name wasn't Igor in a moment with a loud yelp and the smell of burnt flesh, leaving only his smoking boots. As the flames died down, Rama pointed at random to one of his other minions. "What's your name?". The female he had pointed too, who was much smarter and quicker on the uptake then her now dead co worker, quickly gave the one answer that would insure she got out of this alive. " Igor, Sir."
Rama smiled again, his mood improved greatly. " What are you waiting for them Igor? You heard my order. Throw the damn lever!"
