Corelion Lelouche Shikaru, known as Mateo Leraie Balmung to the Dragons of the world, is a being who was never meant to exist, a Nephelim. He was born of the union of Ratatosk, a Frost Archdemon, and Sophitia, a Dragon Goddess. Inheriting his Mother's unnatural strength and nature manipulation abilities, and his Fathers Frost Demon abilities and an innate ability to command lesser demons, he's inherited abilities that far surpass most other beings. During his life he's lived all over the Shinobi World but has never made a serious impact, at least to his knowledge, which is something he seems content with.
His most notable role was as the Shodaime Nokakage of Nogyorigakure no Sato, in the Land of Farms. As the Nokakage, he'd made his home both inside the village at his manor and outside it in the Valley of Dragons where the rest of the Dragons and Dragon Hybrids he had been able to contact had taken refuge, specifically in the Terran territory which was his clans (Balmung) classification.
While in the midst of visiting his brother, Jay Nara, during a tragedy that befell the village of Uzushiogakure, Corelion was suddenly stripped of his title of Nokakage, becoming no more than a villageless Shinobi with no safe zone around him thanks to the active warrant for his arrest that was posted by the former leader, Tobias. He made a hasty retreat alongside his 20 man team who all went their separate ways upon getting to the Slums of Uzu, forcing him to hide out alone and away from prying eyes. His body also reverted to the unstable state it was in when he returned to the Shinobi Realm which, thankfully also wiped his chakra signature from the face of the world until he was killed by Naruto Uzumaki and reborn into a Zombie-like body making him a literal Dead Man Walking.
He is a powerful Enemy, a loyal friend, and he is quite ruthless and calculating when needed and will not hesitate to use someone or something to his advantage.
He currently resides in the relatively new village of Yumegakure no Sato, as a simple craftsman making gadgets and gizmos as he pleases. He's made his home in an old abandoned Academy Building which he managed to transform overnight into his personal workshop and a sales floor to sell some of the inventions he's created over the years.
Appearance[]
Corelion wore quite the odd ensemble during his younger years. He wore a red and black Naruto-like Jacket, with what seems to be a baggy blue cloth jumpsuit underneath, separated by a basic brown belt around his waist, with black boots with magenta soles completing his very odd outfit. He bears striking, double ringed eyes which give him a fierce look whenever he opens them. His hair was also quite striking, as it was an unusual hue of Teal. His face bore a large scar on his right eye that he'd had since he was about 13 years old, and he also had strange red Triangular markings on his cheeks that extended just below his eyes which seem to alter their own appearance during his transformations. His eyes had this same ability, altering to a red during times of stress or crisis depending on how much stress is put on him. Though he was quite the odd beast to look at, he was overall the same as any human on the outside, though he seemed to age much slower than Humans, thanks to his Dragon and Demon Bloodlines giving him a far longer lifespan than humans.
After becoming the Captain of the newly formed Lancer Drakes, a subsect of the Uzushiogakure Armed Forces, Corelion opted to don a new attire based on his new position within the Uzushiogakure Armies. Although he kept his Naruto-like jacket, he opted for a thinner material with a larger collar. He also decided to trade in his baggy jumpsuit he usually wore with a skin tight undersuit which consisted of a short-sleeved torso area and a lower body area which only extended halfway downward on his thighs to create a sort of form-fitting full-body undergarment. As he traded in his full Jumpsuit, he had to create a new set of pants for him to wear. These pants were made of an extremely light-looking material, when in all actuality they were extremely heavy. The pants were baggy enough to give off the amount of freedom he would need on a battlefield, along with his new, modified black boots now complete with a zipper for ease of use. Despite his new uniforms, complete with gloves, rather light looking appearance, the materials he wears are actually extremely heavy. To any normal person, this weight would nearly crush them, including his modified jacket. The total amount of weight Corelion is currently sporting in his everyday life with this new ensemble (which looks far better and normal than his former) is around 18 tons or so. The only main reason Corelion is able to carry this massive amount of weight (Minus his undersuit which weighs less than a pound) is due to his Human body's naturally developed strength and his true nature as a Dragon, giving him already inhuman strength to begin with. Corelion seems unfazed by the weight being pressed on top of himself and instead seems to enjoy it, having once said "Hell, just walking around in the stuff is like training for an entire month with my Mother." giving off the indication that these clothes are his training uniform. However, even though Corelion possesses an incredible amount of strength and speed even with the clothing, nobody knows just how fast he can really become nor how strong if he removes it all including his gloves, though it has been speculated he could be able to go faster than the speed of sound by almost 5 times, clocking him in at about 4,000 mph. The weight of his clothing also seems to explain the craters he usually leaves when he lands from areas higher than 4 stories off the ground, though he is able to exchange his weighted clothing for normal versions.
He had recently updated his appearance upon returning to the Shinobi world, now bearing a goatee, a new scar, and a new, wildman-esque appearance with the jacket and waist cover made from his own dragon scales, giving it a unique sheen. His uniform, save the jacket and cover, were now unweighted and normal clothing he redesigned from his younger self after he paid a trip back to the forest of death where his home once stood, and had an equally strange attire with bandages covering his stomach for reasons unknown and a new belt named the "D-Gear Red" which he used to stabilize his existence in this world after dimension hopping too much.
After adopting a new training regimen with his men, and becoming the new Nokakage, Core was injured during a training session, resulting in him needing a device on his left arm where his pauldron usually sat. Using the device as an excuse, he switched up his wardrobe once more to a more regal, intimidating set of armor inspired by the samurai of the continent and traditional shinobi garb. As he developed the new device, his belt he used to stabilize his body broke apart and, with the excess parts, he redeveloped his shoulder device into his new stabilizer. Now, with data of the coins he'd used up to that point loaded into his new shoulder device, he was able to transform on the fly without stopping in the middle of battle and he added in a solar power source for it and bio-battery that stored the excess energy he collected. His new garb, being rather flashy, also had the ability to change colors depending on his mental state or his situation, making it ideal for any problems he gets into.
After his revival due to awakening his Latent Rebirth ability he inherited from his Mother, Corelion was pretty much stripped naked with no sort of clothing to call his own save for his old, tattered uniform pants he had when he died. After arriving in Sakuragakure and recovering from his self-loathing rage form, he opted to create himself a new, more intimidating outfit to fit his more twisted appearance but this outfit was quickly replaced by the uniform of the Occuria. When he last was seen he was wearing his unique Occuria uniform when he wandered off through a portal.
After reappearing recently, his overall appearance has drastically changed. He no longer looks like a walking zombie and instead appears to have reconciled his conflicting bloodlines, now bearing his original pink hair with four small horns on his head with each set of horns glowing with either soft pink flames or icey blue frost.
Personality[]
Corelion's personality was as odd as his looks. He could be goofy and aloof nearly all the time, usually playing or being the idiot in many situations. However, that all changed during battles when his goofy and aloof personality does a complete 180 and turns to a cold and calculating fighter. When in a serious battle, Corelion could completely throw off his opponent with his calculative mind, making notes of everything happening and able to make decisions at a split seconds notice. That, combined with his destructive power and even more destructive Dragon Style at his disposal, made him by far one of the most deadly and dangerous members of his rather large family. Though once a battle ends, he almost immediately becomes his goofy and aloof self. There is never a dull moment outside of battles, as he is also very kind and loving. Though he would never state it, his one goal in life is to bring peace through love. He simply wishes to make everybody happy, especially his family, for which he shares special bonds with each of his sisters and his Mother though he has barely spent any time with his older brothers. He normally goofed off during the daytime and nighttime, choosing to sleep most of the time, though that never seemed to diminish his fighting skills so only God knows what goes on in this mans head as he sleeps. This is particularly what makes him a dangerous opponent, he was unpredictable as his movements and mind could not be read through thorough amounts of training.
Due to growing older, Corelion's personality had also aged, making him less reckless and more prone to rational thinking before running in. Though he did still like to rush headlong into danger, he did so after weighing options beforehand so as not to endanger anyone involved.
After his revival, Corelion's personality was reverted to a similar one to his original childhood self. He became less brash, but more blunt, with his logical, more careful mindset being pushed to the forefront whenever he is in control. He became suspicious of everyone and everything if he didn't know them and results in what some may see as a person who just uses people for his own bidding, though that is mostly his fault for being so blunt and hardly social with anyone.
Once again his personality shifted once he'd returned after a long journey to who knows where, a mix of his younger days and his more adult personality. He's still calm and collected but can be exceptionally goofy when he feels like it. He doesn't find the need to hold back his goofier tendencies any longer since he's just a simple merchant nowadays.
History[]
Not much is known about this mans past, as he'd barely spoken about it. Though for those close to him, they know the Truth. The place of his birth was recently revealed as none other than the Forest of Death in which he spent most of his life, and it is known how he came to be known as "Corelion". His real name is Mateo Leraie Balmung, a member of Sophitia's family and Clan from birth, but he was lost at a very young age within the Forest of Death shortly after his birth and the death of his mother. It was thought that he was deceased by his mother, who has the ability to reincarnate after death, but that was not the case.
Childhood Arc[]
It seems that, when he was born in the depths of the forest, his Mother, Sophitia, lost him deep in the forest shortly after her death caused by wounds received when their ancestral home came under attack. So, his mother had no choice but to leave him behind when she was revived even though she did search for him. At age 12, he was found by a young girl, named Keiru Yoru, living in a self made treehouse home surrounded by spikes and thorns, meant to keep out intruders and beasts. The young girl found Mateo living alone, somehow having taught himself to make clothing, albeit roughly, he saw in historical textbooks he stole from travelers. When she found him, he was wearing a black Kimono with no shoes and claws in place of his nails. The girl was originally met with intrigue, but he soon grew fond of the Girl, having her teach him about the world outside his forest and eventually, a year after they had met each other, Keiru led him out of his Forest home and finally led him out of the Forest of Death Altogether.
Corelion was eventually welcomed into Keiru's home, where he would spend most of his years. Eventually Keiru's family adopted him and gave him a new name, as he could not truly remember his own, naming him simply Core, as he had made his original home at the Core of the Forest of Death. The family eventually applied for Core to join the nearby Academy and so, his life as a Ninja began. Due to Core growing up within the most dangerous location known to the ninja of Konoha, he easily excelled at the academy's physical tests and quickly became one of the most popular students in the Academy, mostly due to his wilder appearance and nature. He didn't care for anyone save for Keiru Yoru, his, what he considered to be, childhood friend and his saviour even though he had quite a few fans among both boys and girls in their classes. It didn't take long for Core to graduate at the age of 15, thus becoming a Genin alongside Keiru Yoru, who he had developed a crush on.
During his time in the Academy, he was often in the same class of a certain block-headed, blonde-haired shinobi. Every day, as he was slowly shunned by the other students for being a tad too good at pretty much everything, losing fans of both genders slowly as the blonde child soon began to take things more seriously in classes, slowly and surely outshining him and moving forward while he was stagnating and losing all those he'd begun to see as friends to this random child. He was furious, but at the time he was less outspoken and more concerned with himself and Keiru Yoru but the lingering resentment toward the child only grew and grew until they finally graduated the Academy...on the same day. That child was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, a child he more in common with than anyone else at the Academy but grew to resent for the rest of his life.
Core was assigned to the same team as Keiru, but was nervous about telling his childhood friend about his feelings, and so...he didn't. He didn't tell her his feeling for an entire year, waiting until her birthday to finally reveal his feelings and, luckily, they were reciprocated. So the two began to date. Things moved rather quickly, Core becoming friends with more and more people in their home Village, and getting to know Keiru even better. Things moved so quickly however, that they didn't end well...At age 16, Core married Keiru. But only 8 months later, things ended in disaster. A man who stole Keiru's heart many years earlier, even before she had met Core in the forest, returned and stole her heart yet again causing her to cheat on Core. He was devastated, immediately leaving her and running away from the Village, soon returning to the one home he could, ironically, feel safe, The Forest of Death. Once he had returned, he saw it overgrown by the forest, but easily repaired what he could and salvaged his furniture. He returned to the Hermits life for about two years.
Kumogakure Arc[]
At Age 18, Core ventured from the forest yet again, this time deciding to leave for good and so...he burnt down his old home, allowing the forest to take back it's ashes. This was when he was welcomed into the Hidden Cloud Village after wandering very far away from the Fire Country where he lived for his whole life, where he studied and trained alongside Killer Bee with the Raikage himself. Though Core was no good at using the Lightning style that he was being taught to use, as his native nature was in fact Wind. This caused the Raikage to frequently become angry and frustrated with him, though it was Bee who encouraged him with his incessant Rapping.
During his time in the Cloud, he was able to master the Lightning Style and even learn some techniques from Killer Bee that helped him attain his first actual transformation the 25% form Kabuki-Man. Kabuki-Man was named for his striking appearance to Kabuki actors Corelion had seen in his travels and was Corelion's first inkling of a signature ability, something a successful shinobi always needed back then. He spent several years with the Cloud, even participating in one of the wars with the Hidden Rock and unlocking his second form, 50% Form: Oni, during a heavily outnumbered battle. He even met back up with Keiru and soon foolishly fell in love with her again. After attempting to repair the relationship that was broken many years prior, everything wound up the same yet again and caused Corelion to up and leave the Hidden Cloud to get away from Keiru but this time he was less angry and more disappointed. Leaving Keiru and the Hidden Cloud behind, he became a vagrant and chose to not settle back down in one place for too long again.
Akatsuki Arc[]
Shortly after leaving the Hidden Cloud, he was approached by the Akatsuki, who at the time were still hunting for the Tailed beasts, and was offered a spot as the Kyu Ringbearer. Having just been through another set of unfortunate circumstances in the Cloud, he happily accepted and, after some time acting as a mole for them in the village of Yukigakure where he was a personal assistant to the Yukikage of the time, became a Ringbearer for the Akatsuki. While in the Akatsuki, he performed routine patrols in search of the Tailed Beasts and received training in how to combat each different one, even once finding and attacking the Nine-Tailed Fox before being forced to back off and abandon the mission as it ran off and attacked a group of travelers. It was when they went after the Two-Tails that Corelion's conscience decided to kick in and he began questioning what it was they were doing. After learning the true motives of the Akatsuki and the plans they had for the future he wanted none of it and left them...His former partner, Guruguru, was having none of that and paid him one last visit to "convince" him to rejoin them.
When Corelion refused the offer, Guruguru left him one last present in the form of forcefully rewriting the Natures he could naturally use and mixing them up, which in turn (At the time unbeknownst to both of them) rewrote Corelion's chakra organs as well, making it impossible for him to use combination Natures anymore. Guruguru left another present in his psyche as well, leaving behind a seed of evil that, when at the correct time, would reactivate and break Corelion's mind to cause him to reverse his morals and go berserk.
Realization of a Distant Dream Arc[]
After the fiasco that was his time leaving the Akatsuki, it took him a year or so until he was finally reunited with his Birth Mother, who had never forgotten what had happened...But she recognized him in an instant by his unique eyes and hair color as at the time Core hadn't controlled the ability to change his hair color so his eyes and hair were still blinking between the different colors of teal/pink and yellow/pink, mimicking his mothers alternating hues. At the time, Core, now having extended his own name to Corelion, was out on a mission he'd accepted from a nearby village to help build up their rations by hunting some animals, when he unwittingly stumbled onto his Family's Clan Home. That was when he went around asking people of the hidden Village about where he was and noticed something odd...most of them shared the same eyes he had. It confused him and so he continued asking around, though nobody seemed to answer him as they simply seemed shocked, calling him "The boy who died" or "the returner" or sometimes "Mateo". This only further confused him...until he met his mother. She was the final one he went to speak with, the people of the Village having followed him around until then. His Mother cried her eyes out, clinging to her Lost Son, unable to even speak at the joy of seeing her baby boy back home. Shortly after being welcomed home, he was told of the relatively massive family he actually had, including two noteworthy siblings...The powerhouse duo of his adopted brother, Jay Nara, and his blood brother, Ray Iburi. Needless to say Corelion was astounded, not only did he have older and younger siblings, but his older brothers were two of the most well regarded shinobi of the realm with Jay heading the Manji of Uzushiogakure at the time.
Lancer Drakes Arc[]
Shortly after the calamity that struck Uzushiogakure, Tobias, the then-Emperor of Uzushiogakure and the land surrounding the village, approached Corelion with a proposal. Hearing that Tobias was from Uzushiogakure, the village his older brothers frequented, Corelion decided to hear Tobias out. Tobias asked Corelion if he would like to be appointed to a position in Tobias' Uzushiogakure Armed Forces. Corelion answered with a swift "Yes" but on one condition...That Tobias would allow him a troop of 20 men to train in a weaker form of his Dragon Style that would not be restricted to the Dragon Bloodlines alone. Tobias was skeptical, however, and decided to put Corelion's Dragon Style to the test and placed both himself and Corelion into a different dimension of Tobias' creation. Corelion more than happily agreed to show off the capabilities to Tobias, though he only opted to show him the destructive capabilities and not the complicated Medical and support styles embedded in the Ryuuton. During the battle, Corelion seemed to surprise Tobias at one point, launching an attack so powerful that it physically ripped through Tobias' created dimension and created a lasting scar in the world, even causing Tobias to be blown back by an attack earlier, this one caused Tobias to actively move out of the way of said attack, something unheard of for him. Though Corelion never used his full power, having only gone to his 50% form, "Demon", he was ready to go further beyond had his chakra pools not been depleted before the show and tell. Tobias happily and intriguingly accept the terms of the proposal Corelion had put forth and set about creating a cloned army of 20 for him to train. Once accepted, Corelion was placed in the rank of Lance Corporal, which was a rather low rank in the army, but still a respected one. A few days after Corelion's "Initiation Test", Tobias appeared before him with his squad of 20 men, opting Corelion to give the troops a name. Hence forth, Corelion was now made the Captain of his self-named Lancer Drakes, a squad of men trained in the art of the Drake Style, the weaker, yet still extremely powerful and versatile, form of his Ryuuton (or Dragon Style). Corelion spent most of his days training the men under his command in preparation for the day when Tobias called on him and his men for their first true mission.
After a grueling mission out in the field for he and his men, Corelion returned to the village and headed out to the markets. Upon arriving, he bought a few supplies then wandered off and got lost, soon coming across a newcomer to the village, a young woman. Upon spotting her, he dropped his things so he could help her find her way to the village welcome center, but they were interrupted by the arrival of a beast in the village. Corelion, being a soldier with a duty to protect the village but also to help newcomers, was torn and decided to stay back and protect the newcomer. Unbeknownst to him, there was an archangel awakening somewhere deeper in which caused his demon blood to boil, awakening the Zerker form without his consent.
Upon awakening, the Zerker nearly killed the newcomer but the sealing squad arrived to try and calm Core down, unable to completely seal him, they wrapped him in chains that almost broke from just his screaming and roaring but out of nowhere, the Zerker form abruptly ended and Core seemingly returned to normal. After a day in the hospital, his body suddenly began to heat up the room he was in, burning so hot it was melting the room itself, prompting his brother, Jay's, personal sealing squad to step in. Upon arriving, they wrapped sealing chains around the strangely calm Corelion who looked to be in his Zerker form. After a few questions, he was released only to take out two members of the squad, sending one flying across the village with a toss, prompting Tobias himself to step in. Confronting Corelion, they had a very brief standoff before Corelion escaped through a portal, officially being marked as AWOL.
Otogakure Arc[]
After a month or two a strange man matching Corelions description appeared in Kumogakure, shrouded in a hood and a dragon mask. What or who this man was exactly was unknown at this time, but a few believe that it marks Core's official return.
The man from Kumo has turned out to be none other than a much older Corelion, having had an encounter with the man known as Kamui (who, unbeknownst to him at the time, was once the leader of the Akatsuki he once served) in Konohagakure where he was made aware that something was brewing between them and Uzushiogakure. After revealing himself and his first transformation, the D-Gear's first form Dragon-Man (Named from the two coins slotted into the belt) he disappeared into a portal to leave Konoha behind. Shortly afterwards, Corelion appeared in Otogakure, dropkicking a Giant in the head and sending it flying toward a giant metal Kurama piloted by the Otokage himself. Upon seeing the giant mech, Corelion's first thought was to rush at it with his own giant beast, his Demon-Demon or "Oni" mode as the belt called it. Before reaching the mech though, his charge was halted by a giant bird that only served to tick him off, causing him to lose his battle craze. Reverting, he was soon confronted with one of the Hunters, people who came to the Shinobi continent to hunt down the remaining 100 Dragon Clans that fled there ages ago, with the Otokage meeting shortly afterwards. Corelion defended himself when the Hunter, Yueying Liang, attacked him unprovoked, and easily overwhelmed her but used up his belt's power in the process, forcing him to revert to his silent, masked form and causing him to have to use sign language to get his speech across to the Otokage. Having been accepted into the village to start a new life, he started on his way to finding his new purpose.
Time of the Farms Arc[]
After finally being contacted by his former subordinates in the Land of Farms, informing him that the Kage had up and vanished, he was forced to act, leaving the Hidden Sound village much earlier than he'd anticipated and rushing to Nogyorigakure as quickly as he could. Upon arrival, he was given the highest rank allowed under the Kage themself, being appointed as the Dragon Clan ambassador and a member of the Nogyorigakure Council alongside Amira Mi to help lead the village.
After some time in the village, he was appointed as the Shodaime Nokakage of the village, the former returning but deciding to become the Land of Farms Daimyo, and he didn't waste time making use of his position. He introduced a unique currency to the village, which he nicknamed NP, or Ninja Points, which could be awarded for missions and used for rankings or special equipment further down the line. He also introduced a new myth to the history of the village, the mythological Valley of Dragons, which did exist but was inflated to show the dragons who lived there in a peaceful, guardian-like light, and new projects such as a News Hub and a semi-self sufficient hydro-electric dam to provide power to the small village. Now, alongside Amira, who remained a council member, he planed to further expand the village and simultaneously keep it simple and traditional to keep the beauty of the forests they call home intact.
After a time of being the Nokakage, he held a festival for the villagers where he unveiled the secret of the Dragons actually existing in the Valley just beyond the village proper, which was once off-limits to anyone without proper clearance, to a rousing success. After the reveal, the Humans and Dragons began living alongside each other, with both races having free reign to visit the village and different biomes in the Valley respectively. However, this had an unexpected effect recently as many of the villagers seemed to have up and vanished without explanation, leaving very few people in the Village for him to watch over. This had since destabilized his mind, leaving him worrying if he was the cause for his villagers suddenly vanishing somehow, even as he continues to look into where they all seemed to go, which was the perfect chance for Guruguru's Dark Seed to begin subtly taking over his mind.
As he was in Uzushiogakure to speak with his brother (Who had recently become the Shiokage in his own right) about the missing villagers, he suddenly lost access to the power keeping his body stabilized in this world and thus his body began to revert to his 21 year old form he took on when he first returned to the shinobi world, losing his ability to speak and becoming a walking glitch. Since his powers were tied to his Kage status, it was safe to assume his time as the Nokakage had run out and Amira was then appointed as the Nidaime Nokakage. The only reason he was able to return to Uzushiogakure at the time was due to his political immunity as a Kage, otherwise he would be arrested or killed on sight due to an outstanding order from Tobias that hadn't been revoked by his brother as he likely didn't know about it. Upon losing his powers, he was forced to retreat to the Slums of the city where he quickly made himself a place as the Gang Boss of The Justicars, a group comprised mostly of his men and the gangs he'd taken over. He turned the Slums into his own miniature dictatorship and planned to take over the whole of it soon, with his mind slowly descending to madness the longer he stayed in his glitched form thanks to the Dark Seed.
Reign of the Skid Row King Arc[]
His madness had reached a head after a few days within the slums, having turned them into his own dictatorship. He'd taken over all of the Gangs in the Slums, abducting their minds with masks similar to his own and turning the entirety of the slums into a Hive-Minded cult dedicated to himself. Unbeknownst to all the people beyond the walls of the Slums, Corelion's mind was rotting from the inside out due to the Dark Seed implanted in his mind by his former partner Guruguru corrupting the very base of his being, Mateo, the form he had when he was born. This had been happening slowly over the years but was suddenly rushed ahead as his brother, Jay Nara, sent Naruto Uzumaki after him as a hitman. Forcing Naruto to remember their shared past, he also revealed the intense and unbridled hatred he felt for the man, feelings kept locked deep inside his heart that were forced to the surface by the Dark Seed.
After transporting the two of them away from the city, Naruto tried to save Corelion's mind but was only faced with the overwhelming power that Corelion possessed now set loose upon him with no mercy. A being named Menma soon took control of Naruto's body and began a counterattack, only serving to bore Mateo so he devised a game for himself. Opening a massive amount of portals behind himself, he summoned forth scores of alternate Naruto's from the multi-dimensional worlds he knew about, tricking all of them to fight on his behalf to kill Menma in his stead. In his mind, if Menma could overcome this Naruto Horde, then maybe he'd have some fun offing him after the battle died down. Sure enough Menma overcame the Horde, even sealing away a much more powerful version of himself made of the union of Madara and Naruto from another world, but was sufficiently drained of all is strength. Mateo, now having full control of the body of Corelion, finally made his move. Appearing at the behest of Menma, he easily showed him that he was outclassed...and quickly drug him into his OWN world, one where the bodies and minds of the other forms Corelion could use at the moment were trapped and chained up within, the Corrupted Mindscape.
After being transported inside the Corrupted Mindscape created by Mateo, Menma was beset by the visions and feelings Mateo had bottled up, all amplified by the Dark Seed looming overhead. unfortunately all did not go Mateo's way, as Naruto made peace and took back his body and showed that even though Mateo was standing right in front of him ready to kill, the real one stood with Naruto with all the spirits and friends he'd made along the path here. Mateo, appalled to see himself standing beside the man he'd hated for years upon years, lost his cool and began to assault the man with every single bad emotion and memory he blamed on him. unbeknownst to Mateo, Corelion's other selves had begun sacrificing themselves to help re-energize the original self and help him overpower Mateo which eventually paid off. Through the combined efforts of a fully refreshed Naruto and a newly freed Corelion they were able to eradicate Mateo and put an end to his control.
After being set free from the Corrupted Mindscape, Naruto attempted to embrace the supposedly revived Corelion but was met by the awakening of an even deeper darkness in the form of an Alternate World Parasite version of Corelion named Noileroc who took full control the moment control was freed. This new darkness was far stronger than Mateo and even had the ability to completely invert it's hosts appearance. Corelion was still inside the massive body that resulted from Naruto attempting to attack this new enemy, but unlike Mateo, who was forced to use specific elements of his specific form, Noileroc was able to use every single power aside from the Portals including morphing into the other forms and even using his own abilities from his world against Naruto. During the battle Naruto's metal arm was obliterated by a head-on punch from the Demon-Form Noileroc but was suddenly pushed back by the efforts of Corelion and Naruto as Corelion began to take control of specific areas and sabotage his attempts, even causing a permanent removal of his arm to send a fraction of his arm to Naruto without his knowledge.
Noileroc, none too happy with how things were turning out in this battle of giants (Naruto had unlocked his Kyuubi Avatar mode) brought out the big guns. Heating his body up so much to the point the once obsidian colored scales of Corelion had turned a bright golden hue, Noileroc formed a sword from his own body and pointed it's edge directly at Naruto. During a foolhardy attack from Naruto, Kurama was warned by the fraction of Corelion's Mind he'd sent to him to avoid the sword, and sure enough they did for good reason...The sword he'd created, Eimyrjabane, was able to cut through dimensions just like Corelion's Portals but on a molecular level and immediately erase it. Luckily it seemed they were safe as long as they stayed away from Noileroc so Corelion took to talking with Naruto about a plan to get Noileroc out of his body for good.
Through the combined forces of Corelion, Naruto, and Kurama, they were able to come up with a perfect plan to rid Noileroc of his advantage. Corelion instructed Naruto to "wear" his arm in place of Naruto's destroyed mechanical one, which he reluctantly did. Upon fusing of the arm onto his body the abilities, and memories of how to use them, Corelion possessed were transferred in full to Naruto gifting him with an incredible power boost and gifting him the ability to fully control the portals Corelion once owned for his own ends. After using his first portal and summoning Styrmirdisir, the physical opposite to Eiyrjabane, Naruto attacked Noileroc in full force with his newly formed Dragonscale Kurama Avatar Mode, the armored version of Kurama formed from using Corelion's Perfect Defense Scales to create an external armor for Kurama, and forced both blades to shatter upon collision. Robbing Noileroc of his weapon and leaving him with little other choice, he took on the last form he'd ever use after being forced to revert to his human form. Using Corelions D-Gear Pauldron, Noileroc transformed into the Kamen Rider, Doubles, which in turn handed control of half the body back to Corelion. in the blink of an eye, Corelion took control and forced their bodies to split in two, each half getting their own full body and finally freeing Corelion of Noileroc's hold.
With a single yell, Corelion called out to Naruto to finally end Noileroc as quickly as possible to keep him from getting his bearings and prolonging the fight longer. Naruto, acknowledging Corelion's plea, unleashed the strongest attack he had left by fusing the abilities of Kurama, himself, and the powers inherited from Corelion and blasted away Noileroc into dust, the attack boosted by Naruto awakening the full force of his abilities as Asura's reincarnation briefly. Once Noileroc had vanished...something happened. The D-Pauldron Noileroc wore disintegrated, vanishing to dust but at the same time...so did Corelion's. Sitting against a tree as his powers faded away, the only thing left behind after Corelion reverted was a shell of his former self. Pale Pink hair, next to no meat on his bones, his eyes losing their golden hues and replaced by the fully awakened form of his inherited sharingan, and his signature facial markings completely missing. Corelion had lost all of his abilities, all the power he'd built up over the years since he made the pact with Noileroc, and the missing history was catching up with his body now...He was rapidly dying, his organs failing, his tendons decaying, and his mind slowly fading.
Corelion was never a healthy child, even though he seemed like it when he was younger but, before he made the pact with Noileroc, his body was dying. He grew up without the proper nutrition and nurturing that a mother could give and his dna was always volatile at best. Demon and Dragon dna was never meant to mix and the only thing he could figure out how to keep himself alive was bonding his body with a parasite that would guarantee his survival, even at the cost of his dignity. This pact was now undone, the parasite gone, and his missing lifetime filling in the pieces and forcing him to succumb to the fate he was meant for. All of this unknown to Naruto, Corelion was about to reveal all of it...That Naruto couldn't save his life, but he saved his existence and helped him be himself at the end of his lifespan.
Revealing the secret of his entire past to Naruto, Corelion knew he wouldn't actually kill him willingly and so...he revealed the ultimatum. If Naruto did not kill him within the next few minutes, Corelion's body would explode from the sheer amount of power built up inside him for so many years, resulting in a blast that would even reach the mainland from the island they had been fighting on this whole time, likely hitting one of the coastal villages. Knowing Naruto had no choice now, Corelion made peace with his fate and forced himself to his feet, wandered into the center of the destroyed field, and began to channel the energy pooling up rapidly inside of himself to his two arms. Leaving no option but for Naruto to end it all and kill him, Corelion was able to form his most powerful attack...the one he created just to out-do Naruto himself, the Ryuukidosengan and rushed at Naruto with all the energy left in his sickly body, ready to meet the end that fate had meant for him so long ago.
True to fate, Naruto obliged and finally ended the mans life in a way he was happy about. During his dying moments, he could see a beautiful light, the light of the ones past...the people he'd inadvertently killed, his missing family and friends, all beckoning to him to come back to them and join them in the light of heaven....and Core, finally, was able to genuinely smile and sleep for the first time in over a decade...Core, no Mateo, finally knew what true warmth felt like..
Rebirth Arc[]
After almost a year since his death, something occurred inside what little remained of Corelions body in his grave. He was reborn....but something was wrong...He didn't know he was even dead. His body was broken, missing an arm, patterns like patchwork sewing littered his body now, his hair had continued growing as if he'd never actually died, his teeth were like a sawtoothed blade, his markings had become twisted and perverted versions of what they originally were, he even had more scars on his body as if he'd been fighting while dead. He was reborn....but he was also incomplete. He had no idea why he was there, in that Grave, with his last memory being that of leaving a piece of his soul in his arm that he'd given to Naruto.
Naruto. The one who killed him. Naruto. The one who'd proven he was still the stronger of the two of them...Naruto. The one he'd swore as his rival. Yes, yes it was coming back to him. Mateo, Noileroc, the broken body he'd shown to the world. All of it. He remembered all of it now. He was supposed to be dead, but now he was alive and....he was cold. He was alone. He had no idea where this was, or where he could even go, or even what he could DO now. All these memories flooding back to him, all the things he'd done, all the lives he'd ended, they all flooded back to his mind and, like a dam about to burst....He broke. His power exploded, his Zerker form enraged even further beyond his original limits, removing any and all limiters he'd had on himself before, they were all let loose and the resulting power began to destroy everything around him and envelope it all in an Obsidian Flame. He was not Alive nor Dead right now, he just existed and he knew he wasn't supposed to and this made him angrier and angrier at himself. His power continued to let loose, a roaring dome of pure sound ripping through the air and uprooting trees. Unbeknownst to him though, the band he' d recovered nearby had begun to transmit the current events to everyone who still had one along with coordinates as if it had it's own will and was begging for someone to stop his rage. One such message....was sent to one Naruto Uzumaki.
After a time of roaring, and decimating the once peaceful island he was buried on, he seemed to calm down...except he didn't. He'd performed some form of Primal Reversion, something heavily frowned on by the Dragon Clans, and his body had been semi-permanently transformed by his own Self-Loathing Rage, causing the island he was on to be permanently scarred by the Obsidian Flames. His mind broken, his only thoughts left behind were to find his home as during his Reversion he'd begun to lose key memories including how he died in the first place. His only idea he had was to travel to the nearest land to him and just...survive. Unfortunately he aimed for Uzushiogakure, but aimed in the wrong direction to it and accidentally flung himself all the way to Sakuragakure, crashing into a giant crater far outside the villages borders beyond the forest and knocking himself out of his rage-induced form. After regaining consciousness for a brief while, he was able to follow the scent of someone similar to him through the paths of the forest until he made it to the main gate. His body collapsed shortly after arriving, thankfully in the vicinity of both an old friend in the form of Mienai and a new ally in the form of a local doctor named Matsuo. After Mienai discovered his body out cold the doctor quickly took over and darted off with the man, struggling to carry his surprisingly dense and fiery hot body.
After the doctor brought him back to his lab in the village, to the surprise of the villagers who'd spotted him, Core quickly recovered thanks to being out of the sun. It turned out that his new body was more similar to a Zombie, as his scales were now almost permanently see-through they acted as conduits for the sun. The only scales he could actively control were the ones on his existing arm so that was the one bit of skin he was able to safely expose to the elements unlike his other outfits. After learning that the Medic wouldn't be much use for anything but a simple tour guide, he offered a deal to the man and his boss ( a Woman named Takara): In exchange for guiding him around the village he'd allow the Medic, whom he learned was named Matsuo, to perform any tests he needed on his body to sate his curiosity. After a while of exploring the village and gaining his bearings, he and Matsuo decided to try and get ahold of Phantasos and happened to bump into none other than the sister of AsahiYuhi, a woman he'd been told to meet with and become an Occuria member through, Naoki. After a bit of chatting, Naoki explained that she hadn't seen hide nor hair of Phantasos recently and that trying to contact him was a fruitless endeavor right now. Confirming this after Core going inside the Mansion and speaking to the intern there, she decided to show Core and Matsuo the way to the Occuria Generals office, Yuhi's office, and did just that. Before leaving for the office, Matsuo split ways with the duo to carry out a request from Core. The request involved taking a spare blueprint Core had created ages ago in case he ever lost an arm to create a replacement, Bionic arm that can withstand the training he'd need to do to get back to his prime strength and so Matsuo carried on with that.
Upon Meeting up with Yuhi, and a little bit of back and forth, Yuhi decided to accept Core into the Occuria as a trainee which Core was more than fine with as he needed to train himself anyway and test his new body out. He was quickly assigned a partner in the form of somebody named "Toshi" who was currently living as a guest of the Occuria's charge, the Lady of the Snow Lotus. He gave his measurements, kept a note of some tweaks he'd need to do on his own time to the uniform, and was given a special stone to be able to visit the gardens where Toshi was staying in order to meet his new partner.
Upon finally arriving at the manor, and receiving a less-than-warm welcome given his appearance, he waited for a bit and finally met his new partner, Shirogami Toshimune. After some small talk, Toshi and Core decided to test each other's physical abilities briefly to get an idea of what each other's strengths and weaknesses were. Core showed off and rediscovered that he had the ability to use two completely opposing forms of combat, what he's come to call the Obsidian Flame and Absent Ice forms, landing a few hits on Toshi but also being caught by Toshi once or twice in counters. Unfortunately the sparring match was to be cut short by the encroaching dark of night so he and his companion, Hebi a young Snake Goddess attempting to earn her Dragon form, were forced to leave early to return to the clinic to set up their own lodgings for the night. During the sparring match he'd noticed they were being watched by Yuhi but opted to say nothing as it would only be distracting him and his opponent. Upon returning to the clinic, he found out that his new Bio-Mechanical arm had been finished and was waiting for him. He seemed to have walked in on Matsuo and Takara having a moment and it seemed he did something to offend Takara, though he didn't quite know what, after all he only asked a question about getting Hebi a small basin to swim around in. After a while of training and patrolling without anything really interesting Corelion felt the need to visit someone in particular for a brief bit. Taking his leave of the village under the guise of a mission to find and capture a group of bandits who attacked a caravan beyond their protective borders he traveled quite far to a massive forest he'd once resided in...The Lost Woods.
The Lost woods were a vast, maze-like forest with high canopies and signs warding off intruders but he was undeterred as he'd placed special signs for he and a special someone to keep from getting lost many MANY years ago. Eventually he'd made it to a large set of ruins, inside of which sat an obsidian mirror wrapped in chains and a young elf by the name of Elibretha...his ex-wife. He had decided to seek her and this mirror out after hearing about someone claiming to be his son having visited the village and wanted to check up on everything in a realm beyond the portal called the Twilight Realm which he and Elibretha had previously ruled over. He approached the woman, revealing himself using an old ocarina and the song he used to play for her when they were much younger, then explaining everything that had happened since they split apart. He then found out that she had been attacked by the very same bandits he was searching for, learning they'd been using poisonous weapons to attack and capture people, but that Elibretha had managed to fight them off. Mentally, he contacted a young snake deity named Hebi whom had been travelling with him in his hood and told her to search the surrounding area for any signs of a camp or human foot traffic. As she was doing that, he got as much information as he could about the attackers and even helped heal up the wound that Elibretha was still aching from then getting to catch up with what went on with her in the meantime. Once Hebi returned, he opened a portal with a visual link to the camp of the bandits and confirmed they were the ones who both attacked Elibretha and the caravan, then he had as much proof as he needed.
He launched himself through the portal and laid waste to the camp, beating and capturing many of the foes who tried to fight him until only 2 were left, the man who had attacked Elibretha who claimed to be their leader and a younger man who subsequently pissed himself and froze in place. Corelion gave the man an "honorable" end as they clashed but Corelion easily had him beat in swordsmanship, launching him into the air and evaporating him in one swift move. He then captured the other man, sending him to the prisons of Sakuragakure to interrogate him before putting out the fire and returning to Elibretha. He said he needed to leave and opted to give her his ocarina and a promise to return and tell her all about the journal their so-called son had left behind for him as even he had forgotten about it before he jumped through another portal back to the village proper to report the mission a success. Though his time in Sakuragakure would be spent rather...boringly from that point of return. During the days he would just patrol the village and the borders while at nights he would assist at the clinic with Matsuo and Takara's work. Eventually he had grown tired of the monotony day in and day out and wanted to seek out more adventures beyond the village...He made the tough decision to leave it behind, hoping to run into Hebi along his solo journey again as she had left the village as well. With no goal in mind nor any purpose other than explore the reaches of the world, he left Sakuragakure with everything he could buy up and carry on his person to begin a new journey...something he hadn't done for a very long while.
A Short Retirement[]
After a long journey, Corelion had finally reunited himself with his arm and, through a mixture or wild events in other dimensions, regained his body and evolved into a body that physically displayed his heritage. Eventually he set his sights to return to the Shinobi world and managed to do so...but in a spot where he couldn't for the life of him figure out where. It turns out that his powers had locked onto the signature of Saskia once again, leading him to a brand new village that had only recently been formed, Yumegakure, and had spat him out beside one of the leaders of this Kage-less village named Mercy.
After a brief back and forth, Mercy invited him to join their village and he happily agreed, wanting to figure out why his powers had spat him out here of all places. On a brief tour of the village, he figured out why exactly he'd been brought here...He saw Saskia's Inn and have a shudder run through his spine and immediately darted off with the blessing of Mercy to inhabit the large, old academy building that had been left unused for a very long time. He transformed this new home overnight into the new base of the Balmung Tech Labs. After a few days in the village, he had an unexpected visitor in the form of the local...doctor? Daiyuu. She hadn't meant to pay him a visit but wound up getting roped into one by him as he tried to pawn off some of the gizmos and gadgets he'd built or collected over the years. Not taking a hint or buying anything she instead asked him about himself and because morbidly intrigued by his unique lineage. This wound up in a long visit to her home instead to discuss the possibility of perhaps healing the seemingly permanent internal damage he'd sustained over the years and so...he let her know about his heritage but made it clear that she could only share this information with those closest to her who would help her research.
Afterward he got yet another visitor in the form of another Dragon he had spent much and more time with in the past had popped up on his own doorstep! Eridel, or going by her alias Mienai, had been pulled away by the rings he'd given her in the past right to his doorstep as the rings had sensed his return and dragged her along for the ride. Upon arrival and a much needed feeding time she had explained the situation and, in understanding of this he reworked her rings so she would have full control of them from now on. After this she joined his staff and began living at the store alongside him, all the while Corelion was none the wiser to her true feelings towards him. Time passed since they settled in and during a regular training day where he was out of the village, he suddenly got the smell of blood wafting from their home. He rushed home as fast as possible, stumbling across Eridel and a new friend of hers, a Reaper of all things, bleeding and passed out from what seemed to be an extremely difficult battle.
He rushed as fast as he could, setting up a Time-Space barrier to stop aging within the home alone, thus stopping the bleeding and preventing a disaster. He then set about healing the two of them, his personal focus on rapidly healing Eridel, panic nearly setting in for him when he saw how near death she was but he managed to keep his composure. After she had recovered enough to speak she explained to him about a mysterious creature wielding Holy abilities that had rightly destroyed them in a fight together and left them to die, letting her friend bring them back home. He hurriedly finished healing the the both of them, letting the Reaper go due to his own stubbornness getting in the way while he tended to Eridel. In that moment when he was satisfied with her stability he finally sat down against the couch she was on and it triggered something within him. He understood the feelings Eri had for him and he finally felt them resurge for him as well. In that moment, he let his guard down and felt the fear of nearly losing one he loved...again. He vowed to never allow it to happen again and to find this beast and destroy it for harming her.
After this they grew much much closer, eventually agreeing to each other to finally become a couple and eventually get married. This was Corelion's first relationship in years, but he felt this time it was...right. It didn't feel like the others and so from that day forth they vowed to be by each others side always and he vowed to do everything he could to make sure she was taken care of for all time. He also began to properly look into the beast she was attacked by and began to run the store on his own until such a time as she'd fully recovered, making her as much food as she wanted as he'd made stockpiles in his personal pocket dimension so he had plenty left to help with. Within though he knew the moment he would meet this beast, he would lose himself to rage. Nothing would calm him, nothing would tame him, and nothing would kill him. He would end it in the most brutal fashion he could think of.
Corelion's Forms (REBORN Edition)[]
After the events involving his battle with Naruto Uzumaki, it came to be realized that Corelions other forms he once held were actually entirely other beings with their own personalities created in order to prevent his original self, Mateo, from taking full control of his full power. During the recovery of his body from Mateo with Naruto's assistance, these other selves sacrificed their power to empower what was left of Corelion within the arm given to Naruto, allowing him to briefly take back his body at the cost of being able to transform anymore and harness his power like before. After being revived through the power of his inherited REBIRTH ability, Corelion retained this inability to use his other forms but gained a brand new one in their place, formed from a sense of self-loathing from having been robbed of his death and being reborn as what could only be described as a Zombie.
THESE ARE CURRENTLY HIS ONLY USABLE FORMS AFTER HIS REBIRTH ABILITY KICKED IN.
His newest form, and his only current one, is named the "Dragon of the Obsidian Flame". A Zombie-like state where the only thing he wants is to feed, and to find his lost arm. After the fight with Naruto left him down an arm, and resulted in his timely departure from the Land of the Living, Corelion found himself awake under the dirt where just a single scale had fallen during the fight. He had been slowly regenerating his body from that single scale unconsciously having awakened an ability inherited from his Mother nicknamed "Immortal" and was rudely woken from his Eternal Slumber when his lungs were regenerated causing him to burst out of his own grave like a Zombie without his Right Arm, after it was sealed away after the fight by Naruto. The only thing was he had no clue about how he got there until he actually started to think about it. The memories of everything he'd done, all that had occurred, filled his mind with self-loathing and this self-loathing gave birth to this new form. In this Form Core loses all sense of who he is. He reverts to a Feral Being much like he was before he was found living in the Forest of Death all those years ago, with his only drive being to Fight, win, and survive at all costs. This new Feral form forgoes most sense of logic, he loses his ability to feel pain, and his fighting style morphs into a berserk blast of constant blows. He'd turned into a Monster, and only reverted after stumbling through the forests of Sakuragakure and onto their front doorstep. He has recently gained complete control of this form after some brief training on his own.
His other form, revealed recently, utilizes his father's side of the family, fully forming his body into one that can completely harness his Frost Demon powers. This form, come to be called "Absent Ice Demon Mode" has not seen much use but it is almost the exact opposite of OFDM in all aspects. His body slims down, his demeanor changes to one without malice, his flames disperse and his becomes covered in Obsidian Ice, and he can use the moisture in the air to form ice below him and effectively skate around freely by freezing the moisture instantly around his feet.
Abilities[]
Corelion is inhumanly strong despite his rather average stature back when he was young, being documented to lift Boulders and even massive stone monuments that would have crushed anyone else with absolute ease. The first documentation of his unnatural strength was when he was 16 years old, after his first marriage to Keiru Yoru, where he saved a division of Enemy Shinobi who were going to be crushed by a falling 5 story tall statue in an unnamed village during his stay in Konohagakure. Corelion not only stopped the fall of the Statue, but caught and tossed it aside, rescuing the enemy Shinobi who later defected to his home village in respect for his deeds. The next documented case of his strength was one year later, after he had left his new village, in which he had stopped a group of Rogue Shinobi trying to flee into the Forest of death by picking out and slamming ironbark trees into a cage around them before leaving the scene. Along with his inhuman strength, he also trained for several years to perfect the art of Kenjutsu simply from books and old scrolls. More recently, he has learned a way to project Portals from his own chakra aura, the natural chakra that surrounds every living being, able to jump through them, or use them to transport his weapons or tools, wherever he so wishes. So long as the area has even a slight hint of Chakra, he is able to travel there using his portals. He also possesses a genius level intellect, which he usually only puts to use during serious battles. It is these times where it kicks in, his strategies and tactics nearly always out matching his opponents by a mile and a half, he is considered the most ruthless tactician of his entire Family Clan.
Due to being a Dragon and Demon by birth, Corelion's anatomy is only similar to Humans on the outside. The inner workings of his body were vastly different to a Humans. His lungs were twice as large, he bore not one but two hearts, his chakra nature was completely Neutral, meaning he did not inherently have any weaknesses or strengths despite using three known elements, and his bones and muscles were three times sturdier than a Human beings allowing him to lift objects and perform feats greater than any normal Human Being. His body housed what are known as "Nature Sacks", glands inside his body that store up and produce large quantities of Natural Elements such as Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and Lightning which, when mixed in with his Neutral Chakra, created what has come to be known as a Temporary Nature. These Temporary Natures were unique only to the Dragon Clan Bloodlines and allowed them to easily use Jutsu or techniques that would normally only be usable by someone of their specific chakra nature, though they cannot perform as many jutsu at a time as a person gifted with the actual Nature can, due to the fact their Nature Sacks can only store so much Nature Energy at one time. However, the Dragon style, or Ryuuton, that Corelion created can bypass these limits by spending the set amount of Nature Energy in one attack/support ability. Due to being able to store so much Nature Energy, Ryuuton users also make for excellent healers and supporters, as they can actively transfer any amount of energy they have to another person to either replenish any missing chakra that person has or heal an injury caused by any outside element. *This is now null-and-void as after Rebirth it seems Corelions Human body adapted to the world and developed actual Chakra Nature affinities. This does not seem to affect his Kekkei Genkai however as even with his new natures he can still use his Ice and Dragon Releases.
Corelion is extremely intelligent, almost to the point of future sight, being able to calculate an opponents moves many steps ahead and plan accordingly. He rarely lets this side of himself show, at least openly, and most of the time has a lighthearted, though somewhat cold, demeanor to him. As a strategist, he is an invaluable asset to any conflict as he's well versed in the art of battles, able to think on the fly when commanding troops and picking strategies that would almost certainly guarantee victory each time. To the few who have seen him at work, they've been shocked by what he's been able to accomplish, such as taking down a monstrous beast who was rampaging through the outskirts of Uzushiogakure with just a 20-man team, with 4 being relegated to medical duty.
Corelion also has the ability to manipulate and distort dimensions, though it seemed limited to how much mass the bands on his wrists and legs. These bands were made from a strange metal, able to shift and mold itself to any size or shape within reason for the mass they possess. Corelion could always add mass to the bands on the fly, but it required him to sacrifice one or more of the bands to transfer mass to one, which he neglected to do during battles as he had to heavily focus his energy to create new ones from his dimensional energy. These bands also allowed him to access his personal Pocket Dimension, where he stores all the various weapons, armors, and items he'd collected over the years. The bands also acted as trackers and communicators, allowing him to keep track of those he'd given the bands to like the Kage of Sakuragakure, Phantasos, or the various members of his village as he liked to personally see to issues or problems the villagers would have. These Bands are now voided as after Rebirth, Corelion redeveloped his ability to use his portals on a whim, though for transportation he needs to now stamp an area with a special Dimensional Stamp that allows him to find that location in the depths of the World Between (what he calls the innards of the Dimensional portals)
After his Rebirth, he regained his ability to innately control portals without the use of his bands.
Innate Abilities[]
- Goddess-Demon Eyes - Due to Corelion's unique racial bloodline, he possesses the combined eyes of a Goddess and Demon. These eyes gift him unique protection from Occular abilities such as the abilities of the Rinnegan and Sharingan or even most Genjutsu. He does not need to activate this ability, as it activates as an immediate defensive measure in the presence of Occular ability users. He lost this ability in his Demon Zerker form, as he gained access to his inherited Sharingan from his father but that is now voided as he can no longer access the Demon Zerker.
- Full-Powered Fight or Flight - Corelions body, due to his bloodline, has the innate ability to forcefully power up his body in response to certain stimuli. IE: A user of supernatural or Holy powers would cause his body to react and force him to go into a more controlled version of his Obsidian Flame Dragon form, taking on the features of his true dragon form and dropping all features of his demonic side and the subsequent powers and vice versa. Then for anything that would harm a Dragon, it would force him into the Absent Ice Demon form.
- Perfect Defense Scales - Similar to Gaara's Perfect defense, where he did not need to consciously use his sand to protect himself, Corelion's body is always coated in transparent deep black scales. These scales acted as a natural armor for the open areas of his outfit and are always active, only becoming visible once hardened to a point where a single scale could cut a diamond. Once fully hardened, next to nothing can pierce them save for a select few weapons designed to kill dragons specifically.
- Demonic/Draconic Sensing - Thanks to his father being a Frost Archdemon and his mother being a Goddess Dragon, Corelion has another innate ability to sense the presence of other supernatural beings such as other demons and goddesses or lesser supernatural creatures like skeletons, spirits, Imps, and even other Dragons, even if they hide their True forms. The Draconic senses he'd inherited also increased his awareness of his surroundings (i.e. Smell, Touch, Hearing, etc) giving him an edge in many combat scenarios. The ability to sense other Supernatural beings, however, has not seen use in a very long time as he tends to keep himself out of situations that would endanger him thanks to the fight or flight response.
- Inherited Sharingan - Another thankful thing given by his father before he vanished was the inherited Sharingan. Though he had not been able to activate this ability, he eventually gained control of it after his Rebirth ability kicked in. He has since evolved his Sharingan all the way to a unique form of a Mangekyo Sharingan, taking on the colors of his usual eyes but adding the abilities of a Mangekyo Sharingan on top of it.
- Mangekyo Sharingan Abilities - Though not revealed yet, Corelion's Mangekyo abilites allow him to further control his portals. His right eye wields the power to physically grab a portal he's opened up, letting him wield it like an additional weapon, and his left eye allows him to morph the dimensional energy like putty, letting him morph and model the portals however he sees fit as if he were playing with modeling clay.
- Blood-Moon Susano'o - Corelion's new Susano'o, still incomplete due to a lack of use, forms as a Blood Red Samurai armor with a Dragon mask covering the four eyes on it's head, wielding two massive Tonfa in one set of arms and in another set wielding two always-opened portals above the palms. It currently has no lower body and has shown that the mask can let loose massive breaths of elemental chakra like Fire, Lightning, Wind, Stone, and Water.
- REIBIRTH - His newest Ability, Rebirth, awakened as a result of his complete death at the hands of Naruto Uzumaki. After seemingly being obliterated by Naruto, his soul was transferred into the Arm he lent to Naruto only to have it cut off by Black Zetsu. Due to the sloppy slice, Zetsu unwittingly left pieces of Corelion's Scales embedded in the ground above his grave allowing his soul to gradually piece his body back together over the course of a full year. He seemingly inherited this Ability from his Mother although his seems far less stable.
- Portal Manipulation - Corelion, after his rebirth, has regained his ability to innately control Portals without the use of any of the rings he'd developed before. He cannot, however, gain access to his Dimensional Armory anymore as it takes too much of a toll on his body and mind running the risk of him unwillingly falling into Obsidian Flame Dragon Mode. This has since been remedied.
As for his other abilities such as his attacks and such, they are only learned through RP's, even if they are mentioned here.

Canon Facts (For RP)[]
- Corelion is in fact a Goddess Dragon/Frost Archdemon hybrid with a humanoid body, and as such exhibits more unnatural reactions to certain stimuli such as Holy attacks or supernatural effects.
- Corelion was at one point an Uzumaki, though only due to marriage.
- Corelion has been married several times, but all of them have ended prematurely or poorly.
- Corelion can stretch his limbs by using his Dragon scales to cover up the the fact that he physically separates his forearm from the rest of his arm while forcing his muscles to rapidly rebuild themselves while stretched out.
- Corelion is highly intelligent...when he wants to be. He can come across as very dumb at times, or just blatantly oblivious.
- Corelion is highly resilient, meaning he doesn't flinch or get hurt much if at all. He's even been shot through a mountain and come back out with nothing but a cut and a pissed off mood.
- Corelion is also extremely strong, being able to easily lift a mountain that weighs almost 10 billion tons, which is absurd even by inhuman standards, though he does know how to control his strength.
- Corelion did indeed have control over various forms, all of which were activated by shouting the percentage he wanted to release of his full power, with the exception of Zerker, which was a strange and demonic mode he entered when his rage boiled over. However he's reverted to only two main forms after his rebirth: Obsidian Flame Dragon Mode and Absent Ice Demon Mode.
- Corelion has the ability to use portals that lead to pocket dimensions or other dimensions entirely, with the pocket dimensions holding an extreme variety of weapons and armors, that he could summon at any point he wants. He seems to lose this ability past his 25% form though. (UPDATE) This has been nullified, as Core recently used special rings made from transforming metal to form a base for portal creation, letting him use them in every form but these have become irrelevant.
- Corelion had a favorite weapon that he used when he felt he needed to, a sword he dubbed Defender. The sword is similar to a Buster Sword, with three holes on the guard and blade with unknown uses but stems out near the tip where it becomes shaped like a Kite Shield which makes it top-heavy. It's also incredibly thick, making use of the entire blade to work as a giant shield. Unlike his other pocket dimension weapons, he liked to carry this one with him in the form of a keychain he wears on his waist. (UPDATE) Defender, newly dubbed the Techa-do Shield-Blade, has since transformed into a technologically advanced blade bearing only subtle similarities to it's previous form, now able to transform into various weapons such as twin blades, a longstaff, and a smaller sword and detached shield and is currently being used by Naruto Uzumaki.
- Corelion's voice is akin to that of goofier Skip Stellrecht when he speaks, with more of a serious and deeper tone taking over when being serious. In Japanese, his voice sounds more akin to a deeper Masako Nozawa, the voice of Goku, his sons, his fusions, and Goku Black of the Dragon Ball franchise in Japan.
Trivia[]
- Though it has been officially recorded, the fact that Corelion had a very high affinity for Kenjutsu (Or Art of the Blade) had never actually been witnessed by anyone outside of evaluators so it is up for debate as to whether or not he's still able.
- He was no longer the sole user of the Dragon Style, as he has taught his younger sister, Whiskma, how to use the basics of it making her the next user.
- His TRUE Full Name iss Mateo Leraie Balmung, Balmung referring to his Dragon Clan's unified name which refers to an ancient spear said to be the only thing to have slain Dragons in times long past with the same name.
- It has been speculated as to how old Corelion truly is, as he seems to have memories of people such as the Second Hokage in great detail, though it is well-known he is only mostly a Dragon as his father was a Frost Demon.
- Dragons of the Balmung Clan possess some of the highest physical and mental strength of the 100 Clans scattered across the Continent, though the place of the absolute highest Mental Strength goes to the Dalca Clan of Dragons.
- As with his age, it was highly debated whether or not Corelion had bore children with anyone. Although several people have come forward claiming as such, there was never a decisive conclusion.
- Interestingly enough, Corelions clan of dragons exhibits the ability to stretch their appendages, though how they do it is still unknown to those outside the clans.
- It has been exhibited that Balmung clan Dragons, being that they are Land based and not Sky or Ocean based, have a unique trait which causes them to get motion sick on any type of seafaring or flying vessel unless they revert to their 0% forms, or their Full Human forms, though some have found workarounds to help them bypass that trait.
