| "Maldito perro...." |
| — One of Ikem's most common phrases. |
Ikem Del is one of the primary assault members of Talon's "Nightguard" branch and the son of Xjinsuo Del and Zheya. He appears sporadically in Talon to "babysit" new assault recruits but then takes a more major role in later plots. Ikem is the only Celafrite member of Talon, hailing from the nation of Irriskro, Cienfuegos, explaining his noticeable accent.

Appearance
Ikem is thin and built for agility and nimbleness. [Will work on it later]
Personality
Talon
Ikem is harsh, direct, aggressive, and animalistic during his first few appearances in Talon. He lacks the charm and seduction that his uncle and mother are known for, but is clearly one who has inherited the Ta'na family trait of tenacity. Ikem lacks tact and respect for nearly everyone but himself, often times not caring his he ruins special moments or hurts any feelings out of his need to be direct and factual. To many, he is not a pleasant boy to be around with.
As all Nekuna, Ikem is well in tuned with his emotions. Rather than a weakness, his intense emotions serve as a buff to his power. Anger becomes raw power, entertainment feeds his cunning ways. Ikem is known to be open about his displeasure and is known to be a thief. Even to his uncle Zaiek, Ikem's prowess and need to steal "frightens" him...considering how good Ikem actually is at the art.
Skills and Abilities
- Ojos Del Cielo: [ULTIMATE SKILL IS READY]
Magic
Inherent Abilities
- Camouflage: In his Nekuna form, Ikem is able to instantly blend into any setting at will.
- Regrowth and Self Heal: Also a Nekuna trait, his kind are able to regrow most parts of their body (minus their head) and heal minor to moderate wounds by coming into contact with water.
- Ink: This magically infused ink is produced by an Atra Gland, which completely converts blood into it. There are bits and pieces of eon, mana, and other unidentifiable things.
- Photographic Memory: Ikem has an impressive ability to remember every second of life in amazing detail, remember conversations to the word, and can retain years of data effortlessly.
Learned Skills
- Sneaking: It had taken him years to learn how to approach things undetected.
- Being absolutely unfuckable: You don't get on this level by genetics alone.
- Body Temperature and Pulse: Somewhere along his life, Ikem has taught himself how to control his body temperature to his liking. This has helped him avoid detection many times as a sniper and aided him in bettering his shot control. It is said by those who worked with him that there was a time where Ikem stopped his own heart to trick an enemy. The methods he uses to achieve this is still unknown.
Powers
Soul Phantasms
- Laceroimpery: The most defining trait of his fight style is his control of lacerations. His lacerations carry a lessened presence, though retain their devastating raw power, by manifesting in clearly defined (to him) "Fissure Paths" he creates. Visually, his lacerations can never be seen, though a telltale sign of a fissure path laceration being placed nearby is if the pressure around the area is heavier. His style of using his soul phantasm is referred to as "Burst Laceroimpery.", which is the use of swarms of lacerations at once rather than unleashing them one at a time. Because of Burst Lacerations, Ikem isn't capable of using his soul phantasm to cut a certain area with perfect precision, as his lacerations will always come bunched up in swarms.
Domains
[TBD]
Possessions
- Misericordia: Ikem's prime weapon is a hybrid of a mechanical scythe and a sniper rifle/SMG. There are two configurations to Misericordia, which are "Fissure" and "Assault".
Fissure Configuration takes the form of a scythe supported by a surface area of mechanical and manageable armored parts, thus slowing down the scythe's speed a little when in use. Because of it's more heavier disposition, Fissure Configuration has a fissure cast time that is a little slower, considering how Ikem has to use more strength to swing it around.
Assault Configuration takes the form of either a sniper rifle (Config:2A) or an SMG (Config:2B)
- Config:2A: His sniper rifle configuration is his most used, only utilized when Ikem is at a considerable distance and hidden. It's equipped with a specialized scope that can switch between visual targets. Ikem's Config:2A contains several types of bullets stored in specialized magictech magazines that automatically reload themselves with a command by summoning more ammo from a certain location point. His fissure bullets act like triggers for his fissure points by actively "stimulating" the harmed and uneven areas where Ikem has rigged. His other bullets, however, act as more of a support role by healing any ally that is hit by them while harming any enemy that manages to touch them. These Biotic Bullets, an invention either borrowed or stolen from the Knight Family, are likely a callback to Shockwing's or Starr's previous intentions of using Misericordia as a support weapon rather than the carnage machine it has since been modified to be. When it comes to using Biotic Bullets to harm enemies, Ikem claims that the bullets were never intended to take up that trait and have "mysteriously" mutated during the time he's used them.
- Config:2B: If his location is compromised and an enemy is at a much closer distance from him, Ikem switches his weapon into it's SMG configuration. By their large nature, Biotic Bullets are unsuable during this Configuration due to the slight modifications to the weapon's barrel since it switches from a long, slick and easy barrel to a shortened, small one for more rapid fire capabilities. It's spray fire is incredibly harmful if at a close range, but lose power and damage potential the farther a target is.
Combat
Ikem does best in both close combat and ranged, seeing how he uses his laceroimpery to establish one skilltree of combat and his weapon as another.

History
Early Life
Since he was a young boy, Ikem worked his way into the gang "Los Cienfuegos" by offering them stolen items and lending a hand in assaulting and hunting down targets. Ikem's talent in tracking people, thanks to the lessons he's had from his uncle Zaiek, attracted the gang's attention and made him a desired piece to recruit for their own purposes. He wasn't above turning his back on them, however, as he later joined Talon under unknown circumstances, and has since then been dedicating himself to them.
