Kyou Nenshou

Kyou Nenshou is a human imbued with the power of fire. He is the Archangel of Mars, and aids Tifa in her quest to purify the world. He is protective of the weak and seeks to oppose oppression and evil wherever he sees it.

Powers and Abilities
Fire Powers: Kyou possesses advanced pyrokinetic abilities, capable of creating and controlling flame. This extends even to magically created flame. He is capable of creating fireballs the size of the Meiriella Castle if he needs to, and can transform his body into flame to avoid attacks.

Martial Arts: Kyou is a practitioner of kickboxing. Though he seems to have above average skills, his martial abilities are considerably inferior to those of Netami Kihaku or Kataki Doragon.

Superhuman Strength: Kyou has demonstrated superhuman strength, ripping a signpost out of solid cement during the Invasion of London, and holding off attacks from an enormous kaijuu.

Swordsmanship: Kyou has recently demonstrated a proficiency with swords, proclaiming it the form with which he is most adept. He is mainly versed in the European longsword, but has demonstrated some skill with sabers and sword-and-shield fighting as well.

Plot
Kyou appeared right at the beginning, intercepting Mihashi as he brought the body of Tifa to Dyre. He attempted to attack the two, but the arrival of Komaki Da interfered. Kyou was cursed by Komaki and trapped in the form of a cat, with only Dyre being able to release him from the form (or restore him to it at will). Kyou was taken to Dyre's castle along with Tifa, where the girl was resurrected. Kyou volunteered to remain with her to keep her company, forming an attachment between the two.

Kyou was forced to remain at the castle for a time, but managed to convince Tifa to try and flee out across the Akuji Darklands while Dyre was not paying attention. Unfortunately, they were stopped by the denizens of the Darklands, and Tifa began to transform into her darker self, forcing them to return.

However, Tifa's sister Kitiara, aided by Kataki Doragon, was able to rescue Kyou and Tifa from the castle.
