"I'll show no mercy. Die and rot away completely."


Name: Edmond Dantès
Nickname: The Count of Monte Cristo
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Clan: Surgebinder
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral


Appearance


Dantès has tendril-like dull silver hair and striking pale golden eyes that can shine a deep red when angered. In terms of attire, his most noticeable feature is the large cloak which envelopes his entire form, casting a dark silhouette. Atop his head is a tattered hat which holds a shimmering stone reminiscent of the moon. Within the abyssal depths of his cloak Dantès has refined tastes with a noble faded greyish black suit, with red scarf. Oddly, at times it appears as though bolts of darkness ooze from within the cloak.





Personality


The Count believes himself to be a virtuous individual but acknowledges the necessity of darkness. He sees no distinction between vengeance and justice. Dantes is also cunning and patient, able to wait months and even years to put a plan into motion if he is otherwise detained.

Surgebinder


Dantes' conversion to a Surgebinder bestowed several changes to his body, which are as follows; Once a Surgebinder is initiated into the clan, their body essentially becomes an "open doorway" for the ethereal energy. This means that Prana energy will constantly enter and exist within their Chakra systems and any quantity of foreign Chakra or energy inserted into their bodies will immediately be transported to the Throne before they can take effect. Chakra inserted into their bodies for the use of illusions will be absorbed before their induction time is complete, meaning the Genjutsu never occurs. However this also means Surgebinders will be incapable of having a Curse Mark or using Sage Mode. It will also become impossible for others to heal them through medical Ninjutsu or transfer Chakra to them. If an ally or opponent tries to absorb the Chakra of a Surgebinder into their own body, they will instead absorb this ambient Prana energy and be frozen internally. Dantes is of the Heroic Spirit Rank, granting him access to the Surge of Transcendence.​




Specialties


Dantes is Personal Summoning and an Apex Summoning specialist, allowing him two personal summons that accompany him into battle and access to two of his three summoning contracts. Additionally as a Naturalist Summoning Specialist, Dantes is able to produce spider's silk and hydra venom from his body. Finally Dantes' is a Sniper Arts specialist.​

Background Information


You must be registered for see images

Edmond Dantes' life began as the son of merchant gone to ruin and a mother he never knew. His childhood passed without incident and by all measures it was a happy time for Edmond. His father’s fortunes began to sour at the same time as his health began to fail. His sight and his body failing him, the people he called friends and associates chose to do the same. This otherwise moral and upright man, enfeebled by old age, was forced to stare into the hideous inconstancy that lays beneath every human soul. How quickly they abandoned him, how eagerly they flew to the world’s four corners. In truth, they hadn’t moved anywhere. They simply avoided a certain house on their way to and from their usual places of business. But to an elderly man, assailed by his own body and too infirm to walk a few steps, they might as well have moved to exotic kingdoms of untold distance. And so it fell to Edmond, not yet eighteen years of age, to support his father and household.


This crucible was not enough to permanently darken Edmond's nature, but it represented the first crack in the bright and optimistic philosophy he inherited from his father. He adapted well for a boy pushed into manhood, and he grew strong from the labour. He found employment as a sailor on a local vessel and eventually climbed to the rank of first mate, second only to the captain. Upon receiving this promotion, Dantes confessed his feelings to Mercedes, a woman who he had loved for years and who had loved him in return. They announced their engagement a short while after, and truly, it seemed as if the gods were smiling upon Edmond. Unbeknownst to the bright-eyed idealist, his good fortune aroused envy and resentment, from all corners. A sailor by the name of Danglars believed the promotion was rightfully his. A man named Ferdinand who had loved Mercedes 'always' felt as though he were scorned. Finally, a vile urchin, who cared naught for Dantes' position nor his bride, simply loathed to see another man prosper. It was this union of petty envy and twisted desires, spearheaded by Danglars, that set in motion the events that would define the rest of Edmond's life.

The days passed without incident. Finally, on the day of his wedding and standing at the altar, the clouds descends. Everything that had hung above Dantes, every poisoned word and scheming thought, had at last shown its ugly face. The men who came to imprison him announced he stood accused of treason. He had been accused by several parties, at different points in time, and allegedly they had obtained irrefutable evidence. Edmond was told he would be allowed to represent his case at a trial, but the naïve youth was likewise oblivious to the legal process in that nation. The system was inquisitorial. He would have no one to make his case. There would be no jurors to levy a balanced decision. His trial was conducted in a small underground room under the watchful eyes of the judge and the inquisitor. It must have been a fortunate accident that the courtroom was in the same building as the dungeons, the two nearly adjoined. How convenient that one could be charged with a crime and immediately find himself with a cage of his own. It would be superfluous to elaborate on Edmond's time in prison and the despair which nearly gave way to madness. The only dying ember to which Dantes could cling was vengeful malice; the boundless desire to take his revenge.






Other Information


Vengeful Scrawlings: Dantes has, scrawled into his very flesh, a series of body seals intended to bolster his defensive capabilities. He wears a black wristband on his left forearm that has a kanji shaped like a pentagon with open circles placed at every point of the shape and a seal on his upper left arm with the Kanji for "Curse". He has a tattoo with the Kanji for "Fire" to be used with Logia on his left hand and a pair of unique seals on the left side of his chest. He has the Kanji for "Eternal" on his chest and two for "Solitude" in each ear. All of his seals are infused with doton chakra to reinforce them and make the sealing script more durable (via Scripture of the Templars).


(Fūinjutsu: Maiyā no Bando) — Sealing Arts: Mayer's Band
Type: Defensive/Supplementary

Rank: D-S

Range: Short

Chakra Cost: (equivalent to the amount of opposing tech)

Damage: N/A

Description: This seal, Mayer's Band, was created by an Uzumaki prior to their village's destruction. The jutsu's purpose revolves around the ability to identify and seal foreign energy produced by the user's enemies. The seal itself is placed onto a wrist band and it is a kanji line shaped like a pentagon with open circles placed at every point of the shape. When foreign energy enters short range of the user, the circles on the wristband emit a bright colorful light signifying to the user that an energy different from the energies known to them has broken their perimeter. The sealing band cannot inform the user about the type of energy being used, but it can and does tell the difference between the various energies it comes across, and thus repeats the same color glows corresponding with that energy when met again. Once the energy is close enough the seal will release a special energy absorbing barrier around the user protecting them for that one attack before sealing the foreign energy into the wristband protecting the user. The jutsu is quite helpful for shinobi who don't have any energy sensing abilities, and its sealing effect only lasts a limited time. After sealing its maximum amount of energy the band will only work as an energy identifier for the user, but it will no longer be able to seal energy.

NOTES

►Has a one turn cool down

►When a S-Rank technique is sealed, no fuuin in the following turn, and then no fuuin above A in the next

►Seal must be placed in biography

►Can only be taught by ZandaT


(Seijutsu-Raiton/Fuinjutsu:Shokku Terapi) Holy Art- Lightning/Fuinjutsu: Shock Therapy
Type: Supplementary

Rank: A

Range: Close

Chakra: 30

Damage: 0

Description: This jutsu requires the user to have a pair of unique tattoo seals on his chest where his heart is located. The seal activates whenever the user goes unconcious but still alive. Upon activation, the seal discharges subtle lightning current/shock throughout the body and a controlled on the heart. Sorta works like a defibrillation machine. This causes depolarisation of the heart muscles and re-establishes normal conduction of the heart’s electrical impulse to the brain makes normal neural activities to resume and the user once again gains conciousness.


NOTE: Only usable 2x per battle

NOTE: No Fuin and Raiton above S-rank the next turn

NOTE: Can not be used to get out of genjutsu, unless the genjutsu actually causes the user to go in a state of unconsciousness (for example: sleep, or heavy pain which causes the effect if stated in the description of the genjutsu)


(Fuuin: Bachi no Kindachi) - Sealing Technique: Damocles, The Curse of Kings
Type: Defensive/Supplementary

Rank: S

Range: Short - Long

Chakra: 40 (80 chakra for double usage)

Damage: N/A

Description: The user will have four seals on their body (must be stated in the biography) with the Kanji for “Curse” that can be passively activated (instant but still counts as a move) whenever the opponent uses a technique. The seal will will release an intangible barrier that expands outwards in all directions. The barrier instantly reaches long-range in every direction and serves to absorb chakra from the given technique in order to weaken it by a quarter . The amount of chakra absorbed is proportional to the power of the technique but one thing that remains the same is that the remaining technique will fall to three-quarters it's original power i.e. a 120 damage technique would fall to 90 damage (Forbidden Rank). The barrier is destroyed soon after coming into contact with the technique if it exceeds a traditional S-Rank in power but not before it leeches a quarter of it’s chakra in order to weaken it by the same degree. The user can instead activate two barriers rather than one to reduce the targeted technique to half it’s original power rather than a quarter. This will count as two of the user’s three moves per turn. This means this technique does not counter other jutsu in itself but rather aids the user in countering more powerful techniques by weakening them. Due to the barrier’s intangibility, it will can work on solid techniques as well as liquids, gases and energy-based techniques. It will also only shatter against non-physical techniques due to their ability to clash with the intangible barrier. The reason this seal needs to be passively activated (still counts as a move) is so the user can use a technique in the same-timeframe to counter the opponent's weakened jutsu This technique can be used thrice per battle, be it three usages of the single version, three usages of the double version or any variation/combination of the two.


Note: Can only be used three times per battle

Note: No Fuuinjutsu techniques can be used in the user's same and next turn (when single version is used)

Note: No Fuuinjutsu techniques can be used in the user's same and next two turns (when double version is used)


(Fuuin: Bachi no Fukyuu) - Sealing Technique: Bane of the Immortal
Type: Defensive/Supplementary

Rank: A

Range: Short

Chakra: 30 (-10 chakra per turn)

Damage: N/A

Description: The user will have a seal on their body with the Kanji for "Eternal". The seal lies dormant and is passively activated whenever the opponent tries to seal or drain the user's chakra and/or abilities. The seal will instantly release an intangible barrier that surrounds the user's body like an armour. Any abilities which act externally such as the canon techniques Multiple Infinite Embraces or Living Barrier will be unable to affect anything inside the barrier, namely the user's body. Seals which act internally will first have their chakra be absorbed by the barrier (happens instantly and so before they can come into effect) and once erected, the barrier will prevent any further insertion of chakra while active. The seal is self-sustaining and will involuntary leech chakra from the user's body. This is for the express purpose of maintaining this technique even when the user can't use or mold chakra. This is possible as the chakra still exists within the user as it is equivalent of their very life-force. This can counter S-Rank and below sealing techniques. This cannot be activated manually and will only ever activate under the aforementioned conditions. It lasts for four turns or until the ability attempting to seal or drain the user's chakra or abilities is no longer active, whichever is longer.


Note: Can only activate a maximum of thrice per battle


(Ototon/Fuuinjutsu: Kodoku no Boumei) - Sound/Sealing Technique: Solitude of the Exile
Type: Defensive

Rank: S

Range: N/A

Chakra cost: N/A (-40 on each activation)

Damage points: N/A

Description: The user will have two seals on their body with the Kanji for "Solitude" infused with their sound chakra. The seals are located inside the ear canal (must be stated in the user's biography) and will activate automatically upon any chakra infused sound (not just the element) or technique entering the user's ear. The seal will then emit a sound wave with an amplitude opposite that of the invasive technique so that destructive interference occurs and the two cancel each other out. The seals will maintain the frequency for as long as the sound is being heard/transmitted by the opponent, allowing this jutsu to counter not only momentary techniques but those which are sustained or prolonged. This technique's use lies only in preventing chakra-infused sounds being heard and as such it's use is largely limited to countering Sound Genjutsu and similar abilities. The activation of this technique is instant (but still counts as a move) so it can intercept and cancel sound-based techniques before they're heard. As such, the user is free to perform techniques in the same time-frame (even if the seals are still actively transmitting to cancel a sustained frequency). These seals cancel chakra-infused sounds before they can affect the body by stopping them as they pass through the ear canal and so it essentially prevents illusions from taking effect. This means seals which activate upon foreign chakra entering the user's body will not be triggered. This technique can only counter one technique at a time and only one technique per use (counters up to and including S-Ranks).



Notes:

-Can only be taught by Detective L

-Usable twice per battle

-No S-Rank or above Fuuin or Sound in the user's same and next turn

-The seal itself is A-Ranked


(Fuuin: Kanbatsu Jakunen Metsubou) - Sealing Technique: Law of the Logia
Type: Supplementary/Defensive

Rank: A

Range: Short

Chakra cost: N/A (-30 on activation)

Damage points: N/A

Description: The user will have a seal on their body with the Kanji for a specific element and it will lay dormant until the user is physically struck, be it by an attack, weapon or an opponent. Whenever the user is physically interacted with (e.g. punched, stabbed, shot), their body will instantly exhibit all of the properties of the chosen element. This doesn't mean their body merely has the properties of the element but rather when interacted with the targeted part(s) of the body will passively dissipate into storm energy or harden into steel (effect depends on the chosen element). If for example the user is stabbed and they turn into storm energy, the bladed weapon would merely phase through their energy-composed body and leave them unaffected. On the other side of the scale, if the user's body hardens into steel then the attack will simply do them no harm. After the attack or strike has passed through them, their body will automatically revert itself to it's normal appearance. Since this technique usually only applies to specific parts of the body, any unconverted portions of the user's body can still be moved/controlled/used as normal. While in this form, the user can only use the element they transformed into, the element's it's composed of and any combination of the aforementioned element as well as any non-elemental abilities. This technique enables the user to defend against A-Ranks and below of neutral elements (B-Ranks and below for weaknesses, S-Ranks and below for strengths). If the user is struck with an attack that will neutralize their transformation, the two cancel one another out and the user reverts to their original form unharmed. If the user is struck with an attack that overpowers their transformation, the user's body reverts to it's original form and sustains the remaining damage (after the collision of techniques). The only exception to this rule is if the two chosen elements have no sort of interaction with one another (e.g. Fire and Lightning), in which case rank differences will not matter. Regardless of how the user is hit, this can be a full body or partial transformation (depends on the user’s choice). Should they be struck by a physical attack capable of cancelling out their transformation (e.g. a sword streaming nagashi), the sword will remain inside them on reversion and they’ll be impaled by the blade.


Notes:


-Can only be taught by Detective L.

-This seal can only activate twice per battle and lasts one turn

-This technique must be stated in user's biography

-Follows elemental strengths and weaknesses

-User must possess the given element and it cannot be a CE

-Happens passively but counts as one of the user's moves per turn
