Azrael

Azrael is one of the new characters set to appear in the upcoming game BlazBlue: Chronophantasma. He is a fist-fighting pure bred soldier with super human strength who is a member of Sector Seven.

Information
Azrael is a member of Sector Seven who spends most of his time moving from one battlefield to the next in search of a strong opponent. He is entirely obsessed with using his own raw power to fight, and has never used a weapon. However, due to his super-human strength, he cannot go all out in battle; thus, he has imposed a limiter on himself. During the Ikaruga War, he was known as the Mad Dog, who attacked friends and foes indiscriminately for entertainment; his actions resulted in him being thrown in jail. He is released from prison by Sector Seven's higher-ups to take Ragna the Bloodedge's Azure Grimoire, though he claims to still wear a collar.

Personality
Azrael obsesses over strength and treats the battlefield as a "feeding ground" in his lust for power. He refers to the act of defeating his opponents as 'eating' them. He seems to be entertained by strong opposition. In battle he can not contain himself, and he will attack anyone, friend or foe. For him the battle is not about victory or defeat, but rather life and death.

Appearance
Azrael is a large, powerfully built man with long blue hair, a goatee and red eyes. He wears a white coat over his shoulders and white pants, with two belts and a black covering over his left leg. His boots are white as well, with golden steel toes. Much of his visible body is tattooed.

As a child, his appearance is almost identical, only lacking his goatee.

Powers and Abilites
Azrael possesses immense natural strength which he uses to combat opponents instead of weapons or mystical advantages. Azrael also possesses equally immense durability to complement his drive to battle powerful opponents. His raw physical power is so great he must wear multiple limiters to limit himself from quickly killing his foes. In his Arcade ending, it is revealed that the power limiters he uses are in fact the tattoos that adorn his body, which are actually a seal known as Enchant: Dragunov.

Azrael's drive is The Terror. Drive attacks reveal weak points on his opponent.

His Overdrive, Mind Colosseo, makes his drive attacks reveal weak points even on block.
