Thunder Arrow: He notches a single golden arrow and draws it back. Energy flows into it, forming a globe of electricity around the arrowhead. He takes aim and releases the arrow, striking the enemy with a supercharged thunderbolt.

     Thunder Force: His second most powerful attack. He notches an arrow and draws it back, energy flowing into it like with the Thunder Arrow tech. However, the energy remains in the arrow’s body as well as forming a globe at the head. He shouts, “Thunder Force!” before aiming into the sky and releasing. At a certain height the arrow explodes, and around the explosion point forms a swirl of dark clouds. Multiple thunderbolts strike the enemy, destroying it and some of the ground around it.
 
Storm Crusher: His third and most powerful technique. Jikana has told him the same thing that Albarsis told Kintara - use it only when in a wide open space. This attack combinds the Thunder Force attack with a powerful Storm spell, adding driving rain and gale force winds to the mix. He draws back the arrow and aims at the sky above the enemy before releasing. The arrow explodes and dark clouds form, a driving rain pounding down on the area. Winds begin to increase in speed until a circular funnel forms around the battlfield. The rain begins to flood the area, the funnel splitting into several smaller ones which form waterspouts around the enemy. Lightning crackles through the sky, striking the waterspouts around the enemy, which are connected to the water the enemy is in, thus electrocuting it. The mother of all lightning bolts finishes the attack, striking directly in the center of the waterspouts, which is where the enemy is, and oblitterates it instantly.

     Masamichi, called Maxamillion by his parents, moved to Kyoto recently after his father got a job there. He transferred into Kintara’s class, and from day one he knew they were destined to meet. What he didn’t know until much later on was that they shared in a secret - the secret being that they were specially selected magical warriors. However, unlike Kintara, he had been trained for a couple of years prior to the transfer by Jikana, a dragonet similar to Albarsis, and is a little more advanced in his fighting style than Kintara and her friends.
     Maximillion has one older brother, Tobias, who treats him like dirt. He knew that if he was going to survive that he would have to get stronger than he was, which is why he is grateful to Jikana for selecting him. His parents aren’t home that much, since dad’s a busy executive for a large company and mom’s a member of every organization she can find time for, so he usually finds some reason to hide away from his brother, who’s a college dropout. Max, on the other hand, takes his studies seriously and escapes from his tormentor, usually to the attic or his bedroom, the door to which he barricades with his dresser.
     His social life is severely lacking, and he’s often times shy. However, if he feels comfortable around those he’s with then he’s talkative and fun loving. He’s not comfortable in large crowds, having been lost in one when he was quite young, and prefers someplace quiet, such as the park as opposed to the local mall or ciniplex. He enjoys reading and can usually be found with his nose stuck in a good book.

     What he wears: basically anything comfortable. For school he dresses nicely, like button down dress shirts and nice slacks. When he lounges it’s usually jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts, and a walkman. At all times he wears a pair of sneakers that are black with silver and red trim.
 
    History as Koushiro - fought the forces of evil in the Seattle, WA. area for a while, then moved to Chicago. Next came Pittsburgh, then London and Paris, where he followed in the footsteps of Sailor V. He hopes that Kyoto will be his home for a good long while.

     Koushiro’s transformation - bracelet of gold with a large violet gem forms around his right wrist. He holds his hand about level with his eyes as the gem glows and lightning crackles around him. The lightning forms a ring around his feet that moves up his body, forming the necessary armor and equipment for Koushiro.
 
    weapon - golden bow with silver and gold arrows.

     As Koushiro: wears violet carapace armor with golden and silver trim and intertwining work. Under tunic is black with gold and violet trim. Also wears baggy black pants and combat style boots with golden and violet armored shin guards, as well as bracers of black with gold and silver and a gem on the back of each hand. Quiver on back supplies arrows, and there’s a place on his back to hook his bow, which is collapsible.

     relationship with Jikana - “She’s like a mother to me - always nagging and expecting nothing but perfection.”

 How they met:
     Max: “I was practicing my archery one day and I missed the target...”
     Jik: “Yeah, by half a mile. Before I came along you couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn!”
     Max: “Whatever. As I was saying, I went into the woods to find my arrow...”
     Jik: “Yeah, and what he found was cute li’l ol’ me.”
     Max: “Well, I saw a woman enveloped in a column of light. Next thing I know there’s a dragon talking to me and telling me I’m this mystic archer guy.”
     Jik: “It was like at first sight.”
     Max: “I passed out from sensory overload. But we’ve faced down our share of monsters and we make a pretty great team.”
     Jik: “He’d be lost without me.”
     Max: “She’d be lost without me.”
