Background
Blade came from an extremely rich family of musicians. He has an older brother named Drake, a pianist, whom he suffered an inferiority complex to, and although he himself had a talent for playing the violin, he was reluctant to exhibit this talent because he constantly knew that Drake was better than him. Also he was being abused by his grandfather, Marysworth, because of Marysworth thinking that he was making bad sounds when ever Blade practiced. After finding out that he was a Deadly weapon, however, he found that he was able to escape from his family tradition of musicians and escaping his own grandfather and strive to become a Death Sword instead. Evidence seems to show that he was the first Deadly weapon in the Mich family.
Personality
Blade's attitude is laid-back and nonchalant at the start of the series, as he tries to mold himself to his expectations of how someone 'cool' would act. He is almost the complete opposite of Raven Spirit but somewhat really good at getting along with her, being reserved and aloof. He often expresses how he feels about some situations by either claiming that something is 'cool' or 'not cool.' Being a cool guy, he prefers to use the direct approach or stupid approach, which most of the time fails. He has a unique love for eating souls and a great obsession towards Raven that seems to not be shared by many of the other Weapons, drooling quite frequently when his next meal is nearby. He also seems to be a glutton towards food in general. He can sometimes become too driven by the thought of eating souls or sucking blood, which leads him to bicker with Raven or become impatient with her; but despite their squabbles, they are always able to maintain a solid friend-partner relationship. He is also friends with Darkmoon because of their similar immature personalities and both are "were's" of something, for example Blade is a vampire and Darkmoon is a werewolf, but at the same time, they cannot match their Wavelengths. He is slightly immature by being headstrong, stubborn, apathetic to most things, and argumentative. Blade also has a strong weakness towards overdeveloped women, as he bursts into a nosebleed without fail every time he sees Marie naked, contradicting his so-called "cool" way of dealing with things. He is also a slacker that likes to find easier ways out of situations, shown when he attempts to cheat in a Shibusen exam, after which he ends up stripped of all of his clothes except his boxers, and is sent back to his seat to finish his test. However, one thing he has gained from all the years of being 'cool' is that he is possibly one of the most loyal people one could possibly meet. He firmly believes that breaking promises and changing sides 'isn't cool at all.' Deep down, he is always looking out for his friends, and is even willing to sacrifice himself in order to protect his partner, Raven, showing his bravery and dedication. Despite his usual unenthusiastic appearance, he proves to be actually quite determined, and he also helps people get back on their feet when they are at a loss. He is also quick-thinking and cunning, being able to figure out a plan or a strategy rather quickly.
Relationships
Raven Spirit (in issue 55)
Appearance (vampire)
Blade has cyan hair spiked and a bangs in front of his forehead and green eyes. He is known for his heavily exaggerated facial expressions and pointed vampire fangs. He naturally has a lazy, droopy, and somewhat uninterested expression on his face. In his first appearance, he wears a black and red jacket with buttons going down the front. Around his head is a prominent sweatband that has a red circle which represents Japan what he thinks but what is actually what represents is a drop of red blood surrounded by black blood on it. He wears a pair of navy blue pants, and black and red sneakers with a pattern of red in front of his shoe which ends where his laces are located and spiked around the end of the edges and the rest of his shoe is black which resembles his hair. In Issue 14, it is revealed that he wears yellow boxers with pictures of stars all over them. When seen bare-chested or naked, it is shown that he has a large scar going diagonally down his torso from the left shoulder to the right waist on his back. These are from the operation Professor Stein performed after Hanzel attacked him during their first encounter.
Weapon form
In Weapon form, he takes on the form of a katana with a white diamond pattern haft. Despite probably being made of a iron-like material, the haft is capable of bending, sometimes at incredibly drastic angles. The katana's blade is black and red, with the two colors separated by the whole blade being black and a red triangle-shape on the top of the haft along the blade. Next to the blade is a prominent decor in the shape of an triangle-shape red eye which is on the blade with a black pupil. The eye is capable of moving according to Blade's emotions. The pupil shrinks when he is surprised, narrows when he is angry, and when he ends up unconscious after being devoured by the Black Blood in the manga, the red eye disappears to signify this.
Other
Blade also occasionally rides a skateboard, which acts as a form of alternate transportation for him and Raven. The board is an neon-blue and black skateboard and has a longboard mode for him and Raven. The sticker at the bottom on his skateboard has his name on it instead. There are red wheels on the skateboard. At the start of the manga, Blade's skateboard has the same appearance, but later on, its elaborate design changes to the appearance of a regular skateboard with no distinguishing features in particular.
