Mikazuki

"Imagine there's no Heaven"

- Lyrics from John Lennon's "Imagine" Mikazuki is the main male protagonist of Remnants of War Untold. He hails from an unknown kingdom suffering from a war with an unknown enemy, and is a soldier of it's military force, holding the rank of Second Lieutenant, and a member of his Kingdom's Ninth Battalion. His weapon of choice is a pair of dual handguns called "Judgement" and "Reckoning."

First introduced in the opening chapter, "Boy on the Battlefield," where he and his comrades were facing humanoid enemies that disturbingly resemble Grimm.

Appearance
Mikazuki is a fairly short young boy with messy dark hair and odd-colored eyes, his left eye colored silver, and his right eye colored red with a black sclera. He commonly dresses in a light green hooded jacket with a dark blue tank-top and dark jeans with heavy combat boots with dark green highlights. Around his waist is a leather brown holster, which carries his handguns.

During his appearance in "Boy on the Battlefield," Mikazuki wore a military green jacket with a dark gray hoodie underneath, and camouflage cargo pants with black leather boots, and a medical eye patch over his right eye. He also carried a large fanny pack at his waist alongside the holster, and had a light gray backpack slung over his left shoulder, which was revealed to carry supplies.

Personality
Born and bred as a child soldier, Mikazuki naturally lacks any form of common sense, and has a hardened mindset. Being a member of the Ninth Battalion, he believes in the motto, "Memento Mori," which in Latin, means ''Remember that you are Human. Remember that you will Die''. As a result of this, Mikazuki has no regard for his own life, instead charging in head on, albeit not without caution, as he takes into account the situation. As shown in "Boy on the Battlefield," Mikazuki cares deeply for his comrades, enough so that he abandoned his mission, which was to detonate a refined, highly concentrated Fire Dust explosive at the designated area, in favor of rescuing his comrades, who were about to be killed by the enemy.

Mikazuki believes in the idea that nothing awaits a person after their death. Having experienced close to twelve years of war, seeing the deaths of many comrades and loved ones has made him believe that there is no "god" in this world, for if there was a god, then they would have tried to save his friends. Because of his militaristic outlook, he is uncaring of one's social status and ranking, even blatantly telling Private Hargenson, who was apparently the heir to a noble family, that the enemy "doesn't give a shit about who or what you are" and that he should "get his head out of his ass and start doing something useful rather than just stand around looking like a target dummy."

In a brief flashback, Mikazuki was apparently a much more bright and optimistic child who lived with his grandfather, while his parents were nowhere to be found.

History
Not much of Mikazuki's history is known at present time, other than that he lived with his grandfather, who was a decorated soldier, evident by the number of war medals found pinned to his chest in a portrait of him, presumably in his younger days. Mikazuki enlisted in his kingdom's military at a very young age, and achieved the rank of Second Lieutenant, eventually placed in the Ninth Battalion.

Abilities and Powers
Having trained in his kingdom's military at a early age, Mikazuki is well-versed in the art of combat. According to Major Sokolov, he is arguably the strongest in the Ninth Battalion.

Being a Second Lieutenant, he leads his own division in the Ninth Battalion, showcasing excellent leadership skills, though he has demonstrated to be reckless whenever his team is threatened.

Like many soldiers in the unnamed kingdom's military, Mikazuki has unlocked his Aura, therefore creating a protective barrier around his body, generated by his soul. As long as it remains, he can't be wounded. He also has a high pain tolerance, which often leads to him forgetting or not noticing that he's been wounded.

Weapon
Unlike many in the Ninth Battalion, who specialize in the use of Dust-related weaponry, Mikazuki utilizes his own custom-made weapons; the twin handguns "Judgement" and "Reckoning." The guns, unlike most weapons, utilize special artillery rounds, such as explosives, piercing, and incendiary. Mikazuki himself says he has a slight distrust of utilizing Dus
