Issei Hyoudou (Solarverse)



== Issei Hyoudou is the main protagonist of Highschool DxD, as well as the fanfiction story, ''Highschool DxD: Rise of the Solar God. ''Unlike the original Issei Hyoudou, this Issei is born from the essence of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu. Dreading that Takamagahara, and by extension the rest of the supernatural world would be detrimental to her child, Amaterasu sent the infant Issei to live on Earth, where he was then adopted by the Hyoudou couple. == Appearance

Issei is a 18-year old high school student of average height with brown hair and heterochromia. His left eye is a doe-brown color, while the right eye is a yellow-orange sun-like shade. After he unlocks his full power and makes peace with himself, his right eye gains a brownish hue. He is noted for having a bishōnen face and later on gains a more muscular and toned build. His common attire is a white, short-sleeved dress shirt with black highlights, black pants, and brown dress shoes. However, Issei leaves his dress shirt open, and wears a red T-shirt underneath it.

Six months later, Issei’s attire consists of a black V neck shirt with blue pants, and black shoes. He is noticeably much taller than he was before, and his facial features have sharpened as well.

Personality

Initially, one of the many personality traits that defined Issei was his ongoing shyness and naive innocent nature. He is shown to be kind, thoughtful, and benevolent. However, his nervousness and inability to interact in social situations is his most predominant trait.

Despite his gentle demeanor, Issei hides and suppresses a great amount of rage that was a result of all the bullying and harassment he endured since he was a child. This hidden fury finally manifested itself when Issei transformed into the first stage of his Solar Form against Riser Phenex. When his rage is fully unlocked, Issei becomes a person of pure overwhelming anger, with cold-blooded sadistic tendencies.

Overtime, Issei's personality has changed to that of a loner, constantly wanting to be left to his own devices. This changes due to the presence of his wife Ophis the Ouroboros Dragon, his brother-in-law the Apocalypse Dragon Great Red, and his adoptive human older cousin Leiko Hyoudou. Despite being a loner, Issei has shown an honorable and gentle spirit from time to time, only choosing to retaliate at the constant damage and wrong sent against him.

Transformations

Solar Transformation/Super Solar Issei

Issei achieved this form during his battle against Riser Phenex after the latter tricked him into believing that his cousin, Leiko, was killed. In this form, Issei's hair becomes orange-golden in color and seems to stand on end, giving it a rising, flame-like appearance. His eye color temporarily changes to a greenish-blue, his muscle tone becomes more defined, and his skin tone (and clothing) becomes lighter mainly due to the energy and light output of the golden aura.

Hell-Fire Form Issei/Super Solar 2 Issei

Issei achieved this form during the finale of his battle against Riser. After the Phenex Devil attacked Issei with a series of flaming spheres, Issei (in his Solar form) absorbed all of Riser's blazes, allowing him to transcend into a Hell-Fire being. While in this form, Issei's hair sports a deep black color, and his facial features are more pronounced. In addition to a large increase to his attributes, Issei also gains the powers of the Phenex Clan, granting him superior regenerative abilities.

Death Phoenix/Grim Reaper/Berserker Issei

Issei achieved this form when the anger deep within his heart finally overwhelmed him, allowing the manifestation of his fury to take complete control of his body. In this form, Issei has long straight hair, reaching down to his waist, and a hole in his stomach, decorated with markings stretching from the hole across his chest and shoulders. He has retractable claws on his fingertips and toes, small, furry red tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck and one each on his wrists and ankles, and white skin. In this new form, he has a mask. It covers Issei's entire head, and its markings are different, for it has four spike-shaped marks, two of them stopping by the forehead and the other two stretching past the eyes and teeth, going past his chin and joining with the marks on his chest. There are small marks resembling a heart, but with the top and bottom open, extending from the inner corners of his eyes. The mask features two long upward-pointing horns, with black strips extending from their center towards the tips.

Super Solar God

Issei achieves his final form when he absorbs the full power of the Primordial Sun. When Issei transforms for the first time, he has a flame-like aura. His hair has a reddish glow, and his eyes turn red, and he is slightly thinner. The power of this ultimate transformation far surpasses that of The Super Devils and the Evil Dragons.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi: A legendary Japanese sword and one of three Imperial Regalia of Japan, where the soul of one of the Heavenly Dragons, Ddraig the Red Dragon Emperor, and a fragment of the Evil Dragon Yamata-no-Orochi’s soul resides. With the presence of Ddraig and the Orochi, it is said to have the power to kill a God when fully mastered. Ddraig's ability is to double his host's power every 10 seconds without limit, and the sub-ability can transfer the multiplied power to a being or object, which makes him great in terms of support.

The release of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi comes with an extreme release of spiritual pressure, affecting all in the area, and can be felt for miles upon miles across all of Japan.

Special Ability: When released, the blade of Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is engulfed in fire. The aura of this weapon disintegrates everything and anything which Issei waves the sword at, changing it into nothing more than ash, and engulfs the surrounding landscape in a blazing firestorm, the heat of which is intense enough to scorch the sky. Unlike other known swords, resealing Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi does not deactivate any ability already used against an opponent.

Jōkaku Enjō (城郭炎上, Fortress Blaze): This technique creates an immense wall of flame, which surrounds the target and forms a huge contained sphere of flame in which to imprison enemies.

Taimatsu (松明, Torch): This technique allows Issei to create a great inferno with a simple wave of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. The fire generated by the attack completely consumes whatever is caught within it, until nothing remains, but ashes. The flames created by Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi can be controlled, with great precision, by Issei to attack only the targets he chooses, and he has power over the intensity of the flames.

Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi- Ennetsu Jigoku

Ennetsu Jigoku (炎熱地獄, Flames of Hell): Creates seven or more immense pillars of flame which surround an area. The intent of this technique is to trap the opponent in the caged inferno and destroy them. The power of this technique can destroy everyone caught in its vicinity, including Issei himself.

Zanka no Tachi (残火の太刀, Long sword of the Remnant Flame): When Issei is in his Super Solar God form, the blade of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi takes the form of an ancient and worn katana, severely scorched by fire.

Kusanagi Special Ability: Upon activation, any flames previously produced by the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi are absorbed into the blade. Zanka no Tachi incorporates the full power of Issei's flames into the blade: the flames within the blade burn anything it cuts out of existence. Zanka no Tachi has the side-effect of depleting the moisture in an entire area (at least the size of the Japan), causing the air and the water to dry up. Over the course of 5 weeks, the power of Zanka no Tachi has greatly increased, changing from having once set ablaze anything it cuts to incinerating anything it cuts out of existence. No flames are visible as it cuts. Issei claims releasing the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi clads both his blade and his body in the flames of the sun, and that prolonged use of his Bankai can destroy his opponent, Japan, and even himself.

Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin (残火の太刀 "東": 旭日刃, Longsword of the Remnant Flame, East: Rising Sun Edge): Automatically activated at release, this ability concentrates the intense flames of the sword along the edge of the blade. It neither burns nor erupts, but anything it touches is eradicated to nothingness. Even the defensive power of Rizevim Lucifer cannot stand up against this technique.

Zanka no Tachi, Nishi: Zanjitsu Gokui (残火の太刀 "西": 残日獄衣, Longsword of the Remnant Flame, West: Remnant Sun Prison Garb): Automatically activated at release, this ability is unseen by the eyes of anyone else unless Issei wills it to be seen. It engulfs his body in heat which reaches a temperature upwards of 15,000,000 degrees. Therefore, it becomes impossible to even touch him while he is using his technique. The level of heat produced by this technique is so high, it would not actually appear in the form of flames.

Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin (残火の太刀 "北": 天地灰尽, Longsword of the Remnant Flame, North: Heaven and Earth End in Ashes): A slash of concentrated fire and heat which incinerates whatever it touches out of existence.
