Mmanuell Matsuda

Mmanuell Matsuda the Main Character of King's Agency.

After brutally murdering a classmate, Mmanuell's entire family has been forced to flee their isolated Cryotian town to become one of Tsunia's King's Agents in order to avoid capital punishment. Aside from that, he's an entitled brat with an inferiority complex who's lived his entire life getting what he wants.

Appearance
Mmanuell is a brown-skinned Cryotian child. For his age, he very tall and a little muscular. His hairstyle changes a lot throughout the story, but he normally has a high top with blue streaks on the side. He has large, wide eyes, but he scowls a lot so you wouldn't really know that.

Aesthetic

 * 1) Fashionable
 * 2) Easy to Cosplay
 * 3) Changes every Arc

Mmanuell's clothes aren't his defining trait. His Style should be unique enough that you can tell it's Mmanuell even if he's wearing something completely different than normal.

Personality
Mmanuell's personality revolves around his inflated ego and twisted sense of fairness and equality. He believes that you can do whatever you want to people as long as you can get away with it, and since he ALSO believes that he's the greatest, most gifted person to ever live, Mmanuell comes across as selfish, aggressive, naïve, overly prideful, self righteous, egotistical, and hypocritical.

He's confident and charismatic to the point of arrogance and self-entitlement and genuinely believes that the entire world should bend to his will. If someone "better" than him shows up, he'll try and put them down, which normally works since he actually IS as good as he says he is. He's never had to think about not being number one because he always HAS been number one. Like, he literally can't comprehend anything else. Mmanuell treats everyone that he meets like they're carbon copies of each other: scum of the earth who would be better of killing themselves than infecting his life with their banality, rarely ever showing genuine concern or interest in the people he talks to other than what they can do for him and how he can use them to further whatever is on his agenda.

His sheer self confidence and the personality it's brought about leads people to believe that Mmanuell has no humanity within him and all he cares about is himself. Which isn't entirely true. He isn't a trauma victim or a battle hardened mage so of course Mmanuell does have a LITTLE bit of niceness in him. He still knows how to form genuine human bonds and love and care and show emotion and he genuinely cares for and is willing to put his ego aside for his loved ones, believing that since they're HIS friends, they're also above everyone else by default, but that's like less than 10 people so ehhhhhh.

Mmanuell's parents are nearly entirely to blame for the way their kid ended up. In short, they spoiled him to hell, physically and mentally. He was never disciplined AT ALL as a kid. His parents believed that stopping a child as talented as Mmanuell from doing whatever he wants will inhibit his growth. They raised him to be intelligent and logical, so Mmanuell never misbehaved in the first place. At least in the ways you'd expect a child to act up. He'd often ask his parents why they don't discipline him, and they'd basically tell him that he's a god amongst men.

"You're special, and have the potential to become whatever you want and be the best at it in all of Arcerra."

"No other person in the entire world is a great as you Mmanuell. Remember that you're the best."

Endless waves of praise such as that throughout the entirety of Mmanuell's upbringing corrupted his mind, leading him to believe them wholeheartedly, and reflecting that belief in reality. They talked to him like an adult from the moment he was born, believing that it would force Mmanuell to mature faster than other children. They encouraged him to normally only think about things from a purely logical "pros and cons" standpoint, only ever letting his emotions get in the way when the people he love are involved. They taught him to confuse the words "want" with "need" and provide selfish, but indisputable reasons as to why Mmanuell should get his way.

So basically, Mmanuell grew up to become a sociopathic schemer.

He knew that the way he acts will upset basically everyone he ever meets, so lies to people's faces and pretends to be nice to them for as long as he can tolerate.

If Mmanuell straight-up dislikes someone, then it's peak for them basically. He'll snap at them at any chance he gets, assaulting them with rampant unprovoked violence, verbal abuse, and bullying. He peer pressures his friends and their friends (goons, in his eyes) to outcast them from whatever social group they belong to. He'll use his Magic to break their stuff and play harmful pranks on them, trying and embarrass them and make them look like a fool at any chance he gets. The end goal here is hoping that they leave town or, better yet, kill themselves since it won't be his fault if anyone is bitch enough to not do anything about it OR stupid enough to not submit after so long.

Most people understand the negative influence that Mmanuell can have on their lives and opt to try and keep themselves on his good side. Which is the way Mmanuell believes it damn well should be.

To him, as long as he isn't bullying or physically harming anybody without "good reason" (there's always a good reason), he's doing a good job.

Which brings me to his backstory.

Backstory
Born in a small town near the Inani Montibus called Hosendale, Mmanuell Matsuda was an outright bully during his childhood. Spoilt, cunning, and born with his Gates, Mmanuell didn't know the meaning of “not getting what you want”. He saw himself as above every other child in his town. If not for his horrible personality, Mmanuell would have been the town's prodigious pride and joy, and in some ways he already was.

Teachers and students alike were scared of getting on his nerves. While Mmanuell wasn't old enough to enforce his will via force, his cunning was unparalleled among the resident of Hosendale and there was nobody he could outsmart or outlast in a battle of mental attrition.

Mmanuell's parents were extremely lenient with his behavior as they believed that any form of discipline on a talented mind such as their son's would be wasted effort and would inhibit his growth as a person.

Despite the evil child he was, Mmanuell has three extremely close friends, all three of whom were also blessed with the ability to use Magic from birth: Kkele Montiba, a shy girl that was fond of collecting oddities. Zephira Takahashi, a tomboy airhead who had known Mmanuell the longest. Lastly, Ssamuell Williams, a bookworm who levitates with his Steam Magic and rarely ever touched the ground. They've been neighbors and best friends since birth and for nearly ten whole years they reigned terror over the entire town; adults were barely able to keep them in check since Hosendale's adult citizens didn't have many other Magic users among them. Zephira left the group in 2014* due to abusive parents.

For Mmanuell, life couldn't get any better; he was living the dream...EXCEPT from the fact that a new kid in town, Mmcha Rakter, began to threaten Mmaunell's easy living. Intoxicatingly charming, intelligent, kind, also born with his Gates, and humble, Mmcha was everything Mmanuell wasn't, and he absolutely hated it. Unfortunately for him, everyone else in town saw this kid as the second coming of Silva. Mmanuell tried everything he could think off to embarrass, humiliate, and establish superiority over Mmcha, but he was either outsmarted of reverse-carded every, single, time.

To make matters worse, as people saw that a true prodigy was in Mmcha, they began to tolerate Mmanuell's sociopathy less and less. This continued for three years, until the point where Mmanuell was seen as a lost cause an a delinquent. I'm not too sure what was going through Mmanuell's head myself, but at this point he felt like his like was completely ruined and he has nothing to lose. In a trance of childish despair and despondence, Mmanuell set his mind of teaching Mmcha an unforgettable lesson.

Mmanuell simply kills Mmcha. Realises what would happen if he just left it at that (The old version). Decides to go all out and kill his parents in their sleep. Very Traumatic. Tells his own parents. Mmanuell's Father contacts their old friend Draden Mcleod (who they called a traitor and cut off several decades ago), who now serves Tsunia's King's Agency. They asked him if Mmanuell would be able to hide by becoming a King's Agent and, just as Mmanuell suspected, it was indeed possible; Mmanuell felt like he was too good for Hosendale for years. He factored in the possibility that he'd be sent to the King's Agency after Murdering Mmcha into account. He helps them get away with it. To the rest of Hosendale, the Matsudas and Rakters just disappeared without a trace. They seamlessly assimilated into Tsunian living and Mmanuell was immediately drafted into the King's Apprentice program. Nobody will ever know. This secret will be taken to the grave by each and every one of them.

Mmanuell's family spent all of their money moving to Tsunia. Draden secured Mmanuell a place in the King's Agency. Mmanuell's Parents realise they've made a mistake in raising him. It wasn't a prodigy they were cultivating, but a sociopath. They're scared of their son now and realise that he puts lives in danger...not their own, but other people's. They don't believe Mmanuell when he tries to explain to them that he can sense Destiny (He himself doesn't know what it is, but can feel it) so they just think he's crazy. Mmanuell is to stay in a hotel until he acquires his dorm.

Mmanuell sees Tsunia as his own personal hunting grounds, a place where he can unleash all of his borderline psychopathic tendencies and really be himself. Compared to Hosendale where everyone knew him, Tsunia is free real estate! An entire, REAL city populated with at LEAST a million people. Mmanuell would never have to worry about covering his tracks nearly as much as he used to ever again in this place where nobody knows his face or name...

...and he can't wait to see what he's capable of.

Culture Shock Arc
There's a few months before Mmanuell can actually become a King's Apprentice, seeing as they don't start taking in new Mages until June, so our story starts during this waiting period.

Mmanuell does not know that the King's Agency is full of degenerates like him, only that becoming one would be an easy ticket to an easy life in Tsunia. When he learns the organisation's true nature, will Mmanuell be elated, or mortified?

Gates
Mmanuell was born with his Gates, and as such, they are fully developed. They run down from the back of his neck to his upper half of his torso and spread down his arms to the tips of his fingers. (What pattern do they have? Representative of Mmanuell's personality. Pattern has to be a little elaborate. I can't really say. I'll design it later.)

Magical Style
Mmanuell's magical style consists of tooth-like spikes and serrated edges, mainly. He naturally just forms flow into spiky shapes. Can't help it.

Combat Prowess
Mmanuell's skill in Magic and in Physical combat are one in the same. He doesn't like to use long-range attacks since he has a hard time using his fifth limb beyond certain ranges, but at close ranges Mmanuell is unrivaled. Mmanuell is also very slow when he fights, he doesn't move much. He's also strong enough to move Magic under a person's control with his raw strength. Mmanuell is the best physical fighter in the entire AML Course, tying with Morgana Beryllia. Many people who have witnessed Mmanuell fight don't like watching. Mmanuell read a book about the Magical techniques that the Neruman Coastguard teaches people. He created his own version of three of them:


 * 1) Mmanuell's Truncheon Style has him use extremely viscous Water Magic wrapped around Mmanuell's arms allows him to SMACK opponents with the pure, raw, blunt force of the impact.
 * 2) Mmanuell's Taser Style has him Flash-Transmute a layer of the coldest Ice Magic he can create on the skin of his opponent when he lands punches, which shatters their skin and causes uncontrollable bleeding. Especially effective against Deviké Mcleod.
 * 3) Gun Style requires you to build up tension in a small piece of Magic and then fling it like a slingshot with enough force to crack skulls. Mmanuell's Gun Style applies the same principle, but with a giant pillar of Ice in a pile-bunker-eqsue fashion

Mmanuell is also very slow when he fights, he doesn't move much. He's also strong enough to move Magic under a person's control with his raw strength.

Trivia

 * Has a small crush on Aisling Callagy.
 * Mmanuell has the lowest total stats in the Elite AML, while Morgana Beryllia has the highest. Despite this, they are seen as equals.
