Powers:

Copper Manipulation:

Seth can manipulate a piece of Copper Dogtags into almost any shape or form he desires as long as its not too big or small due to the alchemic symbol of Copper on Upper right chest. This `Personal Piece` is considered unbreakable due to his power of control. Seth can maintain focus on a maximum of 2 different Copper pieces by touch, or one Copper piece though sight and make it near unbreakable by magical or physical means unless the touch or focus are broken by magical or physical means unless the touch or focus are broken, or if a force over 25 tons is applied. Seth can’t make his Copper into any mechanical weapon or any object that requires non Copper components like a lighter

Copper Creation: Seth can also create Copper from only solid materials due to the transmutation circles on his palms. Metals are the easiest forms of matter to transmute and control.

Soul Sensing/Feeling: Seth can sense the souls of other people to tell if they are weak or strong. Seth can sense other magic users and other Kemiya's. This unique ability allows a Kemiya to find his destined apprentice, one who has a dormant Kemiya ability.

Other Powers: Like all Kemiya's Seth can use alchemy not only to create and manipulate Copper but to break apart almost any solid material by severing the molecular bonds. Seth can also exhert his spiritual power in the area around him. Those near Seth will feel a great pressure on their bodies making it hard to breathe or even stand. This is mainly used as an intimidation tactic as it is not painful, just uncomfortable. Seth can also put his spiritual power into his Copper and use it to cut through solids and even liquids at distance or even break solid materials apart. Seth can also touch any man made object and near instantly tell its elemental makeup

Fighting Style: Seth is basically a young, brash and very arrogant Kemiya. He uses a Rapier sword, designed for cut and thrust. Seth will always press on the attack from the start, and try and use his speed and reflexes to get past an opponents defence. When forced on the defence, Seth will try and use Counter attack tactics, making blocks, only just strong enough to repel his opponents attack, before making a quick counter attack. When blocking he will sometimes even try and slide his blade, off his opponents and move into an immediate counter attack. He mainly keeps his hilt high to try and move his body into a lower position and move his sword under his opponents blade

History:

A Lad from down...down under

Seth was born in Nelson, New Zealand to Keith and Amy Jackson. Seth had one older brother and one younger brother. His younger brother, Jordan was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukaemia which could not be treated. Jordan died when he was 5, when Seth was 6. Seth's older brother, Sam would often protect his younger brother, being a good brother at school. Seth looked up to his older brother. The Family decided to take a vacation when Seth was 8 to Hastings, in Hawkesbay in 2008. While driving back to the hotel on a day out, an earthquake struck the city. Keith stopped the car, but a large piece of debris from a building came down unto the car. Seth was not wearing his seat beat and was able to get out from the car quickly. The debris landed on the car, crushing it completely, killing his parents and brother. Seth saw the aftermath, but didn't notice another piece coming down towards him. He would have been killed, had it not been for a man, who cut the debris in half with his sword. He grabbed Seth and took him into a building and under a table. The man introduced himself as Jonas. When the earthquake was over, Seth rushed out to the street. Jonas gave Seth time to mourn, before he explained to Seth, what he was and why he was there. Seth was initially dismissive on Jonas, before Jonas showed his power. He offered Seth the chance to be trained and start a new life. Reminding Seth he had a poor alternative choice, Seth agreed.

The Town of the Queen

Jonas took Seth to Queenstown in South New Zealand. Jonas was well known around the area. Jonas set about training Seth in the usual Kemiya manner, and even realised he was most likely the last born of the 39th Generation of Kemiya's. One night after training, Seth decided he'd had enough and ran away. Whilst waiting for a Bus, a local, recognising the boy called Jonas. Another Kemiya, Alice came across Seth, offering to help him go home, but almost as soon as she raised her sword to kill him, Jonas arrived and fought Alice off, killing her after a brief fight. Jonas was injured, but he berated Seth, very harshly, explaining that any Kemiya will try and kill him. Seth apologised and returned to training with Jonas

Another Distraction

When Seth was 15, his training had paid dividends. He was now challenging Jonas after 5 years of training. Jonas would often send Seth into town to pick up groceries and supplies. He would always go to the same store, when he met a young girl, Molly, the store owners daughter. Intensely smitten with her, he would often talk with her, sometimes arriving home very late. Jonas asked about why he was late, but Seth always had some excuse. During Christmas, Jonas and Seth visited the town. Seth managed to shake off Jonas and met up with Molly. Seth showed Molly the power he now possessed but was caught by Jonas. Jonas once again struck Seth down. Molly was horrified at the brutality and quickly made a run for it. Knowing Seth would not obey him and that Molly would only become a distraction, he took Seth home. He returned to the town and killed the store owner, staging it like a suicide, then drowned Molly in the lake. The town was beyond horrified at what had happened, but Seth was inconsolable and angry. Deep down, he knew Jonas killed them

Revenge and Freedom

After another year of training, Seth challenged his master for his release in 2015. Jonas accepted and took Seth up the Remarkable mountains. After an intense fight, one that even surprised Jonas due to the amount of punishment Seth took, Seth bested his Master. After he seemingly helped his master to his feet, Seth drove his sword through Jonas chest whispering "For Molly...and my life" He killed his Master, and took his personal piece. Now free, he headed for Auckland, and took a flight to New York City. To report to the Lord of the Alchemic Throne. Maurice questioned Seth about his mentor's whereabouts but Seth denied knowing.

Spreading the wings

Seth decided not to stick around and headed West across the United States. He mainly kept to himself, exploring as many states as he could until he reached California, fighting his first fight on the beach, but he was defeated and spared. Seth was angry at his loss and headed to Europe. He came to France and got into another fight, but was again defeated by a more experienced Kemiya. Seth came to Germany and scored his first win in Bonn. He tried to take on as many fights as he could, some wins and some losses but he was seeking experience more than anything. He took on a hard fight in Spain making his first kill in 2019. Seth returned to New York for a while, even meeting Maurice's new apprentice, Tess Jones in late 2020
