Description
Blood Charlie Staz, often simply called Staz, is the main protagonist of the story. He is a vampire and serves as the territory boss of a highly competitive district in the Eastern part of the Demon World. Physically, Staz is a young man with an appearance suggesting he is around sixteen to eighteen years old. He has medium-length black hair, bright red eyes with prominent dark circles underneath them, and pale skin, often complemented by sharp, shark-like teeth.
Staz possesses a personality that sharply contrasts with the typical depiction of a vampire. He is frequently seen as lazy, self-centered, and scatterbrained, often preferring to spend his time reading manga rather than attending to his duties. However, once he sets his mind on a goal, he becomes incredibly driven, focused, and stubborn. Despite his often lackadaisical exterior, he is deeply loyal to those close to him and demonstrates a hidden, genuine kindness.
His most defining trait is an intense obsession with human, specifically Japanese, culture. Staz is a devoted otaku, and his room is filled with an extensive collection of anime, manga, and video game merchandise from the human world. He rejects his own vampire heritage, refusing to drink human blood and showing no weakness to traditional vampire vulnerabilities like garlic or crosses. This behavior has earned him the mocking nickname "Cherry-Blood" or "Cherry-Boy" among his peers.
The central motivation for Staz's actions begins when a human girl named Fuyumi Yanagi accidentally wanders into the Demon World. Although he is thrilled to meet a living human, Fuyumi is quickly killed by a monster and becomes a ghost. While he finds her less alluring as a spirit, he becomes determined to help her return to life, a quest that drives the entire narrative. His feelings for Fuyumi evolve into a powerful, if not fully understood, sense of protection and possessiveness, and he vows to become her personal hero, willing to give up his status as a territory boss to achieve her resurrection.
Staz is from a family of high-class pure-blood vampires known as the殿堂魔族. His relationship with his family is complicated. He ran away from home as a child and holds a strong resentment towards his older brother, Braz D. Blood, whom he believes tried to kill him. In truth, Braz had forcibly awakened Staz's immense power and then implanted a special bullet into his heart to seal it away, as the young Staz's body could not handle the strain. His younger sister, Liz T. Blood, initially fears and hates him, though Staz remains caring towards her. Despite his hatred, he is forced to seek Braz's help, leading to a deal where his full power is unsealed. Outside of his family, his primary relationship is with Wolf, a werewolf who acts as both his rival and his best friend, constantly challenging him to fights.
Regarding his abilities, Staz is an exceptionally powerful demon, even with his power sealed. He is a long-range magic user, specializing in projecting his magical energy to attack from a distance. This allows him to perform feats like crushing an opponent's heart from afar or creating powerful energy eruptions. After his brother removes the bullet from his heart, his true power is restored, granting him the ability to manifest his magic in a tangible, physical form. He possesses rapid regeneration, can paralyze weaker demons with his stare, and can control humans using his saliva. Throughout his quest, Staz matures from a lazy, disinterested boss into someone who actively fights for another person, becoming more heroic and focused, though he never quite loses his otaku sensibilities.
