Summary
Jay Grimoire is one of the three main heroes of Tales of the Red Wings. An androgynous child with no memory, he was discovered by Soichiro Sakuya in Sidhe Forest.

Backstory
Lilith Grimoire, newly-crowned Demon Queen, was considered a prodigy. As one of the youngest to take the crown (And a succubus, no less), bearing equally powerful children was expected of her from demonic society. However, her thirst for knowledge led her to spend much of her time studying other planes, including the Void, a space between the demon world and the others.

Jay and his sister Jess, upon being born, had an innate connection to the void that gave them incredible potential and power. They were well-loved by their siblings, but would be torn from them when their castle was attacked by a rival faction of demons. In the ensuing chaos, the twins accidentally activated their powers, vanishing from the castle and becoming lost in the void. Ultimately, Jess lost her body, but her soul protected Jay in order to keep her brother safe until, by a stroke of luck, he fell into the Sidhe Forest of Astiria.

Personality
Initially, Jay is portrayed as a feral child, unable to speak beyond a few simple words. At this time, Jess acts as a guiding force, and is the one with the intelligence. She tells Jay what to do to survive, and is basically responsible for keeping him out of danger. However, he's also very bright and eager to learn, and was able to learn how to speak, read, and write over a short period of time. He enjoys the company of small animals. Once he learns how to speak, his personality is revealed to be somewhat childish, but also quite friendly, eager to play with animals and make new friends.

Jay proves to be somewhat arrogant, referring to himself as "the brains" of the group despite his absolute lack of common sense. He also has little sense of figurative language and has taken every figure of speech he's been presented with literally (E.G. "I can't wear a heart on my sleeve, it's in my chest!"). Despite this, he has a good heart and genuinely cares for the well-being of his friends, often to the point of tagging along against their will just to make sure they're okay.

Appearance
Jay's appearance, thanks to his shapeshifting ability, tends to vary throughout his life. Generally speaking, he appears as a young, androgynous boy with dark skin. His hair color and style varies constantly, though he most consistently wears it either loose and wild or tied into twin tails. After meeting Crystal Rosewater, it has remained pink in color, though the exact shape isn't constant.

Jay was dressed only in rags upon arriving in the void. After being freshened up by Soichiro, he wears a dark blue dress shirt and black dress pants in the style of the demon hunter himself. He later bought a dark purple cape in dollet which he wore as armor, though it would be destroyed in the following arc by Brine.

After the fall of Vandole, Jay wore a black skirt and knee-high socks, along with a pink hoodie. He was known to be very fond of the hoodie, as it was among the only articles of clothing he owned and it was only thanks to continuous urging from Alana and Lissa that he washed it at all.

During the Astirian Annual Tournament, Jay wore a long-sleeved white shirt and light blue overalls.

Stamina: Unknown currently.

Range: Extended Melee with Dissidia.

Intelligence: Though he's childish, he is an exceedingly fast learner, and can come up with intelligent strategies in the middle of a battle, partially thanks to jess.

Standard Equipment:
 * Dissidia: A mysterious ring blade which came out of the void with him. It follows him around seemingly of its own will, rolling along the ground or even flying to defend its wielder. It possesses the power to reshape itself, giving a handle wherever Jay is holding it as to not cut him and shifting its size.
 * Magic Cape: A magic cape purchased in Dollet. It's enchanted with spells that increase its durability, letting Jay use it as a shield. However, it was later cut in half by Brine.
 * Guitar: A small guitar fit for a child, that Jay got as a souvenir from the Sound tribe village in Lindblum. It can be used as a conduit for magic, but Jay has not yet figured this out.
 * Daggers: A pair of hunting daggers that Jay bought during his and Ryn's visit to the Spirit Tribe Village. They can be enhanced with his aura, and while he typically uses them as his main weapons for melee, he can also launch them at a range using his aura, similar to Kratos' blades of chaos.
 * Chains: Chains that Deedee is shackled to. She can extend their length at will and use them as powerful bludgeoning weapons and even slicing weapons. Jay can use them by enhancing them with his aura.

Weaknesses: Very childish, and doesn't have much common sense. Has a fear of exploding. Weak to holy magic and angelic weaponry thanks to being a demon. Certain types of magic, like Ice, Lightning, and Fire, can damage or otherwise incapacitate his essence, making it more difficult to return. Jess is entirely blind.

Key: Beginning of Series | Vandole Arc | Finch Drained + Aura Unlocked | Post-Second Wind

Note: Because Jay can fuse and unfuse with his siblings at will, he doesn't always have access to all of their abilities. As such, when making a VS thread with him, whichever abilities he has absorbed need to be specified.

Feats:
 * Learned how to speak English from a few sentences and context clues.
 * Tricked Finch into flooding the Ishgard prison so that Jay could electrocute him.
 * Used his aura as a tether to hook on to his own magic water orbs like a grappling hook.
 * Defeated Finch and Eagle of the four Holy Knights of Astiria.
 * Rode a sky whale.
 * Tracked Zephyr's aura across a third of Astiria.
 * Defeated Stinger in the Astiria Royale Tournament

Notable Attacks and Techniques
Arch-Imp Physiology: Jay is an Imp, and a powerful one at that. As such, he possesses the natural biological abilities that all imps do. Imps share common traits: Red skin, small wings that allow for hovering flight, and a sensitive, whip-like tail. Second Wind: When a Mage is reduced to near-death, or put into an incredibly stressful or emotional situation, their soul can undergo a shift known as a Second Wind. Second Winds typically grant the user new abilities, unlocking latent power and increasing the total amount of magic and aura that they possess. Contrary to the name, a mage can undergo multiple Second Winds during their lifetime.
 * Demon Essence Manipulation: Jay's body is made up of demon essence, a black, liquid substance that's essentially liquefied curse magic which he can control at will. This allows him to transform his appearance, turning into living beings and even inanimate objects.
 * Regeneration: Thanks to being composed of demon essence, Jay lacks proper organs and can reform his entire body unless the essence itself is completely destroyed.
 * Absorption: Jay can absorb magic by biting others, adding it to his pool. Furthermore, he can break materials down into mana using his demon essence.
 * Fusionism: Demons can fuse with other demons by merging their essence together, giving them both control over a singular body with multiple abilities. This is how Jess and Deedee both live in Jay's body.
 * Curse Affinity: Jay has a natural affinity for curse magic. Though this gives him a weakness to holy attacks, it lets him resist curses and demonic attacks.
 * Enhanced Senses: Jay is able to track the mana of people he's gotten the signature of, even across all of Astiria.

Saving Throw: In a battle of magic, many mages possess abilities that could instantly end the life of hundreds of people through heinous methods like sucking them into a dimensional rift, attacking their soul, or destroying them with solar heat. Against such powerful spells, Saving Throws prevent battles from being over in seconds. This natural defense mechanism of magic, accentuated by willpower, protects against enemy magic, saving the body from harm that natural durability simply can't defend against.

Magic Crest - Sticky Fingers: Jay's magic crest, unlocked after being impaled in the chest by Ainz's void blade. This ability allows him to steal "ideas" from objects through physical touch, similar to how Rune Magic alters basic ideas in an imitation of godly script. using this, he can do things like steal heat from an area, take away senses, and remove friction from objects, as long as he is able to touch the target with his aura.

Magic: The art of bending Mana to one's Will. There are many methods of casting magic, through items, spells, natural talent, or even drawing upon the powers of gods. They are divided into several subsets depending on the user and the function. The art of magic can harm even those whom physical attacks will not touch.

Aura: The manifestation of one's soul, forming as a shroud across the user's body. Those with control over their auras can emit them, paralyzing those with a weaker soul than themselves. In extreme cases, Auras can generate powerful winds, cause physical damage, and even inflict instant death. Aura can be weaponized by a skilled enough user, and thanks to possessing multiple souls, Jay's aura is greater than that of his peers. Multiple Souls: Unique among most residents of Algo, Jay possesses multiple souls, thanks to his demon-based fusionism. Jay has a tendency to merge with multiple individuals, gaining their abilities and housing their souls within his own body, in a mental space that appears to be a house of sorts. Each soul has their own identity and can take over the body at any time, and jay cannot typically call on their unique abilities without allowing them to take control of the body.
 * Aura Gun: Jay makes finger guns, directing a stream of his aura to attack a foe. It's been compared to a stream of water and offers a more potent version of the normal effects of Aura.
 * Aura Web: Jay creates strands of Aura from his fingers that stick to objects and stretch, letting him pull them to him and manipulate them with ease.
 * Elemental Aura: Jay enhances his aura to possess intense heat or cold, enough to affect the environment around him.
 * Aura Charge: By applying a charge to his aura, Jay can cause it to electrify, shocking all those who touch him.
 * Aura Egg: Jay consolidates his aura into an egg-shaped shield around him, increasing its defensive prowess against enemy aura.
 * Aura Enhancement: Jay can enhance weapons with his aura, turning them sharper, stronger, more durable, or even dull. He can also bounce weapons on strings, wielding his daggers in a manner similar to the blades of chaos.

Jay's biological sister, Jezebel. Along with Jay, she was lost in the void for quite some time, but ultimately sacrificed her body in order to protect her twin brother. Being a bat demon in her true form, she is completely blind, but can see in the dark using sonar. A goblin huntress who spent most of her life wandering around Alexandria before meeting Jay Grimoire for the first time. She is oddly fascinated with Jay and the Red Wings to the point of merging with Jay.
 * -|Jess=Jess.png
 * Shadow Manipulation: Jess can use shadow-elemental magic, but has so far only used this to control the shadows of other people, tripping them up and lifting them.
 * -|Deedee=
 * Animal Empathy: Deedee has a natural connection to animals, and due to a mysterious force, she can force them to obey her through her own aura. Small animals naturally flock to her, but she can do this to more aggressive species and even god-beasts.
 * Transformation - The Hunt: Deedee has the ability to transform into a monster, for a currently unknown reason. It takes the form of a gigantic wolf covered with armor plates, with a collar that nine chains float and flow out from. Her fur flows like fire, and she has no less than six eyes. In this form, she possesses claws that can rip through space, elemental breath weapons, a fear-inducing gaze, and a roar that can stagger and even kill lesser beings.

Water Magic: From Zoua Magicite. Jay can manipulate and create water to attack. This is his main method of combat, and he has shown to be incredibly versatile with it, creating intricate and ingenious constructs beyond simple discs and blasts. Jay can also manipulate fog and steam, coalescing it back into water, though he cannot manipulate ice. Fire Magic: From mimicking Eagle's magic. Jay can manipulate and create fire to attack, as well as generate it from his hands to cook things. He has also shown the ability to create flaming familiars.
 * Water Orbs: Jay creates an orb of water, which can be wielded as a projectile or made hollow to form a shield. They also act as mobility tools for his dagger.
 * Stream Burst: By causing one of his water familiars or a water orb to explode, Jay causes a group of high-pressure water streams to rush out in all directions, before converging on whatever target Jay wishes and punching holes in them.
 * Water Drill: Jay forms a gigantic drill made of spinning water, that can drill through solid rock and steel and destroy the toughest of opponents.

Life Magic: From draining Finch's magic. Jay can manipulate the element of life, allowing him to give life to objects and manipulate plants and animals. However, he has not yet shown the ability to use this directly, instead infusing it into his other elements.
 * Flameys: A small fireball with a face that Jay can create. He can make dozens of them as a light and heat source. Notable ones are Flamey, Flamey Jr, Flimsworth, Charby, Spicy, Brimstone Johnson, and Nova. He can form a giant familiar made of fire if he has a large enough source of it.
 * Legs McGee: The first of Jay's familiars, which he accidentally created through Finch's magic while creating a mode of transportation through the desert. Composed entirely out of water, It is a flat surface with several chairs on it, along with a larger armchair that has a pedestal, all supported by two large, human-like legs. It's capable of running at extremely fast speeds over various types of terrain, controlled by Jay placing his hands inside the pedestal. It has a limited degree of sentience, as it bowed to Jay and followed orders.
 * Orby: Another one of Jay's familiars, composed entirely out of water. It takes the form of a large orb of water that can sprout muscular arms to punch and chop enemies. Orby can actually combine with Legs McGee.


 * Curse Magic: From absorbing mana from the Plaguelands, an ancient magic disease made to corrupt living objects. Jay can now use curse magic, magic which targets the soul and breaks down matter, absorbing it. He has shown to create a large clawed hand with this so far.
