Personality: Dekana is the tall and proud sort, not prone to talking but very much one to observe. A fickle creature, he's got a tendency to be as fluid and unpredictable as the waters he calls home. Dark, one might say, and mysterious... from an outsider's point of view he seems a bit of an enigma.
In truth, he's not a particularly sociable sort, prefering a place of power or prestige in any group he comes into contact with. He professes no need for friends and yet he keeps a few chosen ones close indeed. He's got a tendency to put up fronts, icy or hard... or mysterious. It's just how he works - he's a spiteful individual, really and will hold a grudge for a long time after an incident. He also likes to cause trouble... if someone confronts him, he won't back down, and he'll go looking for such encounters.
Restraint isn't something this teen knows - he throws himself at whatever is with determination and dedication, be it stalking the grounds for trouble or getting the blasted homework done and out of the way so he can go stalk the grounds. He's not stupid, he just knows what he wants and prioritizes around that - everybody else can go to the underworld.
Why did they enroll at the academy? Dekana didn't really choose to go the school. His family forced him there after he caused enough trouble to endanger said family at their home. They hope the time in the school will teach him some restraint and that he'll develop a circle of friends so he won't harass his family as much. On a more personal level, Dekana just wants to get this over and done with. He knows he pushed the bounds a little too far but he's a Mishibizhiw... what else is supposed to do if not cause a little misfortune?
Fear: Fear: Underrealm Torrent - (T1 Swift Strikes) - As a personification of the Underwater Panther, Dekana can channel the energy of the underworld to which all his people are connected. In this attack, it is a building pressure about him that flares out in shadowy tendtrils in a similar fashion to an explosion. From this bursting bubble of underworld energies, a torrent of spectral fish and/or snakes stream, harrying the opponent. The Fish and Snakes’ attacks are as real as if they had been corporeal. The kind of response (fish or snake) and the number of respondents varies with his concentration, training, and present state of being – exhausted being a weak response, fully rested being the strongest response/offensive. The apparitions appear inky and trail shadowy smoke, almost like malicious ghosts in the air. Summary: Illusory spectral snakes or fish attack an individual en masse.
An unconventional Reaper specializing in the use of both fists and shruiken developed the technique known as Swift Strike. At its core, the technique consists of light attacks performed in rapid succession to deal damage. On their own the strikes do little damage, but together the result is quite painful. This technique is good for those who prefer to attack relentlessly, or for those whose have an Area of Effect Fear.

Tricker's Boon (T2 The Eye) : You garner the favour of the shadowy panther. Dekana calls forth the underworld to infuse the target with the might of his native realm, imbuing them with the glowing green energy of the Underworld
Tier Two:EY2 Dice: 2d4 First Dice: represents your Accuracy. xxxxx 1-2: Miss xxxxx 3-4: Success! Second Dice: represents how many turns the effect lasts. xxxxx 1: One Turn xxxxx 2-3: Two Turns xxxxx 4: Three Turns Effect: Target subtracts -4 instead of -6 to determine damage. If used and the ally uses a Fear, add +2 to the ACCURACY result/dice. If the Fear does not have an accuracy, add it to the total. Be sure to note this in your post and double-check any attacks made against you!
