Issei Hyoudou (True Self)

"[This is how my host dies? By giving up?]

"I can't continue, I will die!"

[Your power is beyond anything I've ever seen but its being held back by your perverseness! If you give it up, you can show this so called 'Phenex' the power of the Red Dragon that battled the White one under a castle for years and in the end won! Issei Hyoudou, I, Ddraig The Red Dragon Emperor, promise you this and my oath to teach you more of the Dragon arts than any other, ARE YOU WILLING TO BECOME YOUR TRUE SELF?!]

"Yes, I am Ddraig.""

- Issei and Ddraig talking moments before Issei becomes his 'True Self' Issei Hyoudou is second year student and wielder of the Boosted Gear. He is also known at the True Welsh Dragon Emperor after his transformation and training with Ddraig, surpassing his rival and past wielders of the Boost Gear.

Appearance
Issei is a 17 year old student at Kuoh academy, he is of average height. His clothing mostly consists of his school uniform and not much else.

Personality
Issei's personality is like that of his original counterpart but after giving up his perverted natural to become his true self, he doesn't have any thoughts that his original self would have. Issei regrets killing Riser and even said that if he could, he would of made it so that he never had the Boosted Gear in the first place.

Equipment
Issei wields the Boosted Gear, one of the 13 Longinus Class Sacred Gears and prison for the Red Welsh Dragon Emperor, Ddraig. Unlike previous users of the sacred gear, Issei has mastered almost all of it's abilities after he gave up his perverted nature.

The Boosted Gear takes on the appearance of a red dragon arm gauntlet with a green gem on the top of the hand and six golden horns at the back of the gauntlet.

After taking the power of Ddraig's rival, Issei gained another gauntlet that contains the power of Albion.

Powers and Abilities
After becoming his 'True Self', Issei unlocked a new form of his Sacred Gear that allowed him evolve to whatever is thrown at him.

Basic Abilities
Issei has the basic abilities that he has learned from training, abilities such as the Dragon Shot, Transfer, and the other abilities that he has learned. He also gained the abilities of Divine Dividing after taking the power of the sacred gear.

Advanced Abilities
Through his training with Ddraig, Issei has learned five new abilities that have mad him even more of a dangerous opponent.
 * Draconic Flames--Issei has learned to control the dragon flames that burn within the Boosted Gear. He is able to control these flames and create dragon fire weaponry. The closest he has said that this ability is like the Fire Bending off of the kid anime TV show.
 * Morph Evolution--Issei is able to morph his armor to whatever his situation requires, be it that he is facing someone in close quarters or long range bombardment.
 * Combination--Issei is able to combine two or more of his abilities to make even more powerful attacks, though this drains him and only allows for one or two shots.
 * Burning Rage--A sub species of the Explosion, this ability removes the ten second limit and makes Issei go into a berserker like state for a time. The only downside of this ability is that it does what the Juggernaut Drive does and takes Issei's life.
 * Dragon Aura--Issei has learned how to control and manipulate the Dragon Aura he produces, but it has some side effects that Ddraig has put some blocks on. As his aura is a combination of both the complete Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive, it is massive. If Issei focuses the aura on a female opponent, they could die from their body being overloaded by pleasure, if focused on a male opponent, it will drive the person insane and eventually make their head explode.

Armors
Issei has the Basic and standard armors that are achieved when the Boosted Gear was in its standard form.
 * Over Booster-This is the incomplete version of the Completed Balance Breaker armor, and the most common armor that people see when he is training.[[File:Issei entering Scale Mail during the Loki Battle.gif|thumb|288x288px| [WELSH DRAGON: BALANCE BREAKER!] ]]
 * Balance Breaker: Scale Mail-This armor was achieved after becoming his 'True Self' during the Rating Game between Rias and Riser. The armor evolved further when the chest gained the Longinus Smasher ability and killed Riser.
 * True Welsh Dragon: Balance Breaker-The Ultimate and True form of the Balance Breaker Scale Mail. It is a combination of both the complete Scale Mail and the Juggernaut Drive, gaining the power of the Juggernaut Drive but none of the negative effects. This is also the armor that Issei has mastered his Dragon Aura with. It is also in this form that Issei snaps the holy sword, Excalibur Destruction, in two.

Welsh Crimson Dragon God Drive
The 'Juggernaut Drive' of the sacred gear, is the completed version of the armor. When the armor is formed, it takes on the appearance of Ddraig himself before he was sealed but upon closer inspection, the scales are made of metal and the eyes are green gems. The Chant for this armor it similar to the original chant but unlike the original, the chant forgets the principal of domination entirely.
 * I, who am about to awaken,
 * Am the Heavenly Dragon who shall bring the True meaning of the Crimson Dragon God to Life.
 * I surpass the "infinite", and I crush the "dream"
 * I shall become the True Welsh Dragon God of Old
 * And I shall bring the ever burning flames of my Wrath upon those who follow path of supremacy!

Trivia

 * Issei gained Riser's peerage through an ancient Rating Game rule, though his body was still changing to handle all of the new power and some of the pieces switched places and other pieces were added without his knowledge.
