Delta J. Kamiji, (formerly Lance Kamiji), is the main character of the Neo-Fureza series, and the “Reluctant Hero” of Fureza City, in South Eastern Fureziana. Delta is one of the second generation were-species known as Aeonians (or later, Furezians) of Humans in the 1960’s who were exposed by the “Red Mist” (which was his mother, Ashanti Kamiji who became the first generation Aeonian and eventually the Nine-Tail Legendary one). Delta, despite of being a quiet and studious young male, he strongly believes in justice and usually will fight for both his well-being and others who can’t fight for their own. There are also many different Deltas across all the different Furezaverses and Timelines, some The Reluctant Hero, some the Fallen King of Delcaro Kingdom and in some others even The Raging Aeonian Retro Game Nerd. Despite of such, all versions of Delta are just as strong despite of some not being heroes at all.
Personality:
Delta Kamiji, is studious, quiet and a bit of an artist in both the creative and martial kind. Though, when around family or good friends he’s more open and assertive and does not have problems speaking his mind about things. He used to be a bit of a hot-head and even quick tempered, but eventually he realized he didn’t like hurting people, so after the Anti-Aeonian Wars, he’s learned to overall master his rage, into “Controlled Rage”, instead of “Pure Rage”. Overall, he strongly believes in justice, karma and hates bullies or villians to the highest degree. Usually, relating to villains, he has no mercy if they are in a killing or destructive mood and will end them without a thought, if they are out for his or anyone’s blood. Delta can be even dim-witted or a bit too naive at times, despite of being a intelligent type, even to a bit too trusting levels, leaving himself open for betrayal that happens more than once.
Delta is also a loving and caring soul and will sacrifice what he wants and himself for the ones he truly loves. Even if it means taking care of people or offering moral support. Unfortunately, Delta can be a bit of a pervert as well, usually resulting in very hilarious results to him. Though, he changes drastically with this, once his arranged wife, Mikaitsu May comes into play. Despite of him being okay and tolerant with the ladies, he especially hates the type of woman that either act rude on purpose, or aggressive or even hateful towards men or try to attack himself, considering him a “weak male.”
Unlike his friend Clyde, he has no honor code again hitting or attacking female warriors or fighters who attack him first (Although, even Clyde has his limits with said honor code). He especially loves women who are ladies and not the types who abuse power. With that said, due to his trusting and naive nature, some friends end up betraying Delta (namely Vanah for a time and several others), and due to the pain he feels, his personality changes every time a major negative event happens in his life, becoming numb and acting almost dark or evil himself. He can also easily hurt and push others out of his life during this phase, which he may not seem like it but feels terrible for doing such. When he’s like this, it requires a lot of patience not to leave him, but eventually Delta will return to his usual kind and loving self.
After the Anti-Aeonian Wars and Vanah’s betrayal, due to the numbness and PTSD, he gains two Nakami in his Dreamscape, Jigoku and Tengoku, his Dark and Light Nakami, respectively. If one or the other takes over, he will enter Evil (Jigoku-Cross) or Good (Tengoku-Cross) State. Eventually, when Delta and the two Nakami come on good terms, they can team up and enter True Burning Delta state, or Burning Rage Delta state when Jigoku and Delta agrees on delivering justice. When Delta fully heals, the Nakami remain, help out, offer advice and both Jigoku and Tengoku Fusing with Delta grant him the ability to power up to the highly powerful Xion (or Awakened) Mode, in which is a Holy Deity State.

Delta Kamiji’s Techniques and Moveset:
Wave Burst – A close range Wave Burst attack that does moderate damage.
Wave Shot – A long ranged Wave Ball attack that does decent damage.
Wave Blast – A long ranged Wave Blast attack that does repeated heavy damage each hit.
Aeonian Buzzsaw – An anti-aerial attack that causes Delta to take out his retractable claws on his hands and feet (talons) and spin like a stationary buzz-saw. There’s a slight chance it might cause Delta to become dizzy.
Spinning Knock Out Kick – A basic, typical Shoto-Styled Spinning multi-hit tornado kick attack.
Wave Chain Gun Shot – A Wave Shot attack that fires small chain-gun styled blasts that cause moderate steady damage each hit.
Aeonian Claw-Swipe Upper – An upward claw swipe attack, Shoto-styled used to counter air attacks.
Halo Wave Blast (Xion/Awakened Only) – A high powered Blast with rings around Xion’s Arm that look like Halos Amplifying his blast. Does heavy damage and will KO an opponent.
PSI Wave Mode – A mode, Delta only truly uses when miffed and feels that fighting normally will not work out. Using the same techniques from his mother, he can use telekinesis, psychokinesis, and make doubles of himself that either attack his enemies or fire wave blasts then disappear. His eyes turn black with his irises remaining green in this state. He can also levitate, teleport and gain enhanced speed in this mode, as well. A one shot version of this mode, used during the Metal Devil Prototype can only use one move, Restraint. This move uses high psychokinesis to restrain the enemy then destroy them in a massive, high powered wave explosion doing major damage to the area and the enemy.
Controlled Rage/Pure Rage Powers – Eventually, after the Aeonian Wars and during and after Vanah’s betrayal, due to Nakamis in his Dreamscape, Delta gains the power of mastered Rage Abilties. When Controlled Rage is full, Tengoku will take over and Delta powers up to Holy Form (Good Form). When Pure Rage is full, Jigoku will take over and Delta powers up into Scorned Form (Evil Form). When Jigoku and Delta are both in Pure Rage mode and believes in rational justice, Delta enters the prototype form of Burning Form called Burning Rage Mode. When Controlled and Pure Rage are both full, Tengoku and Jigoku will both take over and Delta enters the True Burning Form, Burning Mode. Eventually, mastering his rage entirely and healing fully after finding his third Nakami, Blanc will unlock him to use his strongest state, Xion/Awakened.
Wave Armor Abilities – Delta’s Power types are Wave and Armor. The second type as one would guess, allows him to Create Bio-Cybernetic Armor around himself, to amplific his Wave Blasts in Armored Zen Cannons, Hover for short distances, Dash with a Burst of energy or Sprint Street Skater style with Armored Zen Boots, attack with Armored Zen Sword Arms or power up to a High Powered completely Armored Mode called Aeonian Knight mode.
The Power of Flight – Most High Powered races of the Neo-Fureza series can use Flight to go from place to place. Depending on the transformation or power used, Flight Energy can be burned up pretty fast in the sky, which will force the user to land before it runs out completely. Omnis can fly indefinately for long periods of time (due to their wings) with them stopping usually due to their wings and physical energy being exhausted, instead.
Warping/Teleportation – Most characters in Neo-Fureza can also, warp from place to place. Delta, Mika, Haven-R Members and several others can do this technique at ease. Probably a faster way to get around compared to Flight, but warping also has it’s distance limits and you can only go to places you have been to.
Aeonian Claw/Talon Mode – Most if not all, Aeonians and Omni can use retractable claws and talons as strong as High-Powered Steel, to slice, cut and even rip and tear into enemies. It a common skill the Were-Race has though despite of it not requiring any Wave Energy and it actually being a strong high-powered attack that can kill a enemy without much effort, most Second-Generation Aeonians or Omni don’t use the skill in Modern Day. Even Delta himself chooses to rely on his own MMA Skills rather can claw people to death. It is something that the First Generation Aeonians and Omni were not above doing, however.
Burning/Fire Wave Energy (Burning and Shinning Lv. 2 and Lv. 3 Modes Only) – Delta can also upgrade his standard Wave Powers to a steady damaging and a burning flames version that causes Burn/Fire Damage. He can do this in his Fire Powered Burning Rage and True Burning Forms (duh), as well as Shinning Form Lv. 2 and Lv. 3. (Though, his flames are Green in this form.)
Tailed Modes – Aeonians, Lapsa and to a lesser extent, Omni all have Tailed Modes to determine how strong they are. An additional Tail in a transformed state is earned through enough Mental Psyche and Wave Experience, and an added Tail in a Transformed State can increase the Aeonian, Lapsa or Omni’s power somewhere between 1,000 to 10,000 fold. The maximum Tails Earned is different from character to character however, as Ashanti can only go up to Nine-Tails (doesn’t matter here as she the Legendary Nine-Tail Aeonian, anyways), Mika can only go up to Six-Tail and Delta can only go up to Twelve-Tail, with his Brothers Soul and Rock having less (Soul Eleven-Tail and Rock Ten-Tail). In some Prototype Stories, on Deviant Art, any Aeonian could go up to 1,000 Tail Mode, depending on how miffed they were. This was overally exaggerated and I eventually changed things. If one tail meant an, 10,000 Power Boost then, Twelve Tails would make them very powerful. Same with a Five Tail Limit and each tail gave them a 90,000 Power Boost.
Trivia:
Delta Kamiji was originally named Lance Kamiji after the creator Lance Jones. While, he still loosely a self-insert, the character is slowly becoming his own being.
Delta was originally planned to be an African-Furezian Superhuman who mastered Fire, in the original plans for the series, with Clyde being a Caucasian–Furezian Superhuman who mastered Ice. The transformations designs though different, were ripped straight out of Dragon Ball Z and eventually during his original Deviant Art run, he redesigned the Prototype Aeonians into what they are now, and eventually made that form the “Super Saiyan” state for Humans. The “Superhuman” premise was still used, except its more of a “Super Furry” state now for Humans exposed by The Red Mist and are Descendant from the ones exposed by it. Aeonian Transformation eventually became known as “Controlled Lycanthropy” and the Aeonian and Omni forms became officially known as Were-Forms for the Red Mist Exposed Humans/Descendants of them.
The Aeonian’s nose ring is a natural part of their body made of bone. It can be removed through surgery for the ones who don’t like it, but it can’t be removed through physical violence or sadistic people trying to pull it out to cause major suffering and torture. Pulling on it too much, will cause the Aeonian to become highly irritated and violent due to the pain and will claw or viciously attack the offender. This is because the creator has had problems with sadistic people in the past who love to mess with Aeonians and their nose rings. You wouldn’t go into a lion’s den and piss off lions, or cause harm to yourself because its fun, so don’t mess with an Omni or Aeonian’s nose ring unless you want to die. Thank you.
Delta’s color scheme (Golden and Emerald) makes him get mistaken and confused for a “Fox-Koopa Troopa” (especially in the Past when his sported an Eagle’s Beak and a fluffier Fox-Like Tail). Because, some people are idiots. First up, the Golden and Emerald form is his “Shining Form” which is like Mastered Super Saiyan or rather a Heightened Base Form, he’s mastered to be in said form without much effort or Wave Energy used, that enhances his powers. Second, his actual Base Form is Blue and Navy Blue (originally Blue and Silver) with his outfit being mostly Red. You only get see his true Base Form when he’s close to running out of Wave Energy.
Delta Kamiji basically is your typical Shonen, Shoto-Inspired Hero character. In a fighting game and manga sense. Originally, he was more like a Dragon Ball or Street Fighter inspired creation, but he goes through major notable differences overtime, like being a Mixed Fighter who knows, MMA and Sword-Fighting Skills, an exiled vagabond former King of his Fallen Kingdom, A Mega Man Inspired Armored Aeonian Warrior with light Sparkster-elements, or going full Genocide Route Sans on Salome Lynoreshi in a comic. He’s basically a man with many faces and techniques.
Delta is ranked and called “The Reluctant Hero” for a reason. He simply saved his city from The Daisan Empire, because it was the right thing to do, not because he cared or wanted to. If you read the very beginning of Super Adventurer’s Destiny where he is viciously bullied by the townsfolk, you could understand why he was reluctant.
Delta Kamiji and Mikaitsu May really go hand and hand in a sense. Not only because they really love each other, and are arranged to be married at 21 years old. But also because their color schemes are very similar (Delta’s standard form has Emerald and Gold in his fur, and Mika’s fur is part Golden with her outfit and makeup being Emerald). This isn’t surprising due to another reason. The creator was told in the past that Mika and Delta were his best characters period, giving them another connection together.
The Red Yokai is the penultimate villain of the Neo-Fureza series. To the point if one surfaces, the timeline and universe it appeared in is doomed. The only one, who can become a Red Yokai is Delta himself, who ironically is the series’ Main Hero. However, Vanah can become a Red Yokai as well. I’m not spoiling how she can.
Actually, this has changed over time. Other characters and heroes can also Red Yokai (now called The Yokai Trigger) aside from just Delta, making things really bad for the Heroes if they aren’t strong enough to deal with it.
When Delta gets really mad at someone he will break the fourth wall and call someone by their actual name. Like, calling Vanah “Vanessa” or Emerald-Deity or Tsuki no Megami “Stephanie” when he’s really pissed off.
Delta’s actual hair length is pretty long. About as long as Inuyasha’s. He cuts it down to short length in the artwork off screen due to it reminds him of his terrible childhood as it was that long during that time. It always grows back to full length eventually, usually when asleep while recharging his Wave Energy after being overwhelmed.
Delta is also pretty sensitive to loud noises or sounds that are repeated or prolonged for a standard to longer amounts of time. After a certain amount of time of hearing such, he will snap, becoming “triggered” warning the person to turn the noise off or down, or in the most extreme cases…destroy the source of the noise…if it’s an object. This leads to various humorous moments.
Like Ryo from Shenmue, Delta is not above telling unruly warrior women to stay in their lane and to behave like a woman should; a caring and loving Lady instead of a mean-spirited, bitter Fem-Bully. Even if it means, knocking some sense into them in battle. He is a firm believer of men and women taking their proper positions (the man as the protector and the woman as the supporter) and will stand up for his views and himself if picked on enough. He is a man and will show that to any woman who tries his patience enough times.
