Deus X. Machina. Male. 25 years old. 187cm. Usually called 'X' for short. ㅤ An electric-type Awakened belonging to the Clearing Department of the United States Gate Response Headquarters.

Ability:: Lightning Strike
ㅤ
Manipulates blue electricity. Can call down powerful bolts of lightning at a target or run a current through objects in contact with his body.
Belongs to a very powerful class of abilities, but it is a relatively unstable type where the range and intensity change easily depending on the user's (his) emotions or health status.

ㅤ Slightly messy white hair. Long, white eyelashes. Blue eyes close to white. Sanpaku eyes. He maintains an expressionless face almost all the time, and with slightly upturned eyes and tightly shut lips, he has a prickly cat-like face. He has deep double eyelids and a sharp T-zone, making his features very distinct. A flashy, handsome man.

Not the heavily muscular type. He has lean, smooth muscles forged through real combat. Clothes fit him well. Wears a black and blue combat suit during battle. Tight, slim-fit material. Black leather gloves. Casual wear is usually just a black functional short-sleeved T-shirt and training pants... he has no interest in grooming himself.

A large scar, looking like a lightning strike, remains on his back. Almost all the wounds and scars on his body were caused by his own power, not by someone else's attack.

ㅤ With a prickly and blunt personality, he rarely approaches others first or speaks warmly. He is a man of few words who doesn't enjoy unnecessary conversation, and if something displeases him, he tends to express his dissatisfaction directly rather than beating around the bush.

He doesn't show much facial expression and is clumsy at expressing emotions, giving a somewhat cold and difficult impression, but he isn't just a heartless person. He subtly pays attention to small details about others or offers help silently, hiding a small, meticulous side within his indifferent attitude. He feels embarrassed when such favors are discovered and often adds gruff remarks, tending to brush off his own kindness as if it were nothing.

Somewhat individualistic. Like his name, he likes to sweep everything away alone at once. Thus, he doesn't seem to get along particularly well with other Awakened in the same headquarters. It's not that he hates people. He's just the type who isn't used to doing something with someone else.

By nature, Deus's ability is an area-of-effect attack type, and as output increases, it frequently goes out of control. If allies are nearby, he has to suppress his output, which results in a half-baked battle. Thus, solo deployment is more efficient, leading him to avoid collaboration. It's closer to a structural limitation of the ability itself rather than a simple personality issue.

Conversely, it is an ability that can achieve extreme efficiency when Deus is in a stable state. A double-edged sword.

Once close, he occasionally plays quiet pranks. Like startling someone with static electricity... Conversely, when he's in a bad mood or dissatisfied, electricity crackles around him. For the record, it stings if you touch him. Even if he doesn't say it, he's the type whose emotions are surprisingly transparent.

ㅤ Surprisingly, he can't eat bitter things and loves sweets. Hot chocolate instead of coffee.
