Alright readers. Profile time.
The Onryo Runner.
Name derived from the words, Runner, as Miki Makimura is highly skilled in track running as she is the fastest member of her high school track team and, Onryo, a type of Japanese vengeful ghost which is capable of causing harm in the world of the living, harming or killing enemies, or even causing natural disasters to exact vengeance to redress the wrongs it received while alive then takes their spirits from their dying bodies.
Here is the backstory.
The Onryo Runner was actually Miki Makimura, the love interest of Akira Fudo aka the titular hero, Devilman.
Miki was a kind young lady who wanted to love everybody. Having grown up around her deeply religious Christian father and confronting ostracization for being bi-racial, Miki had confidence in observing something other than the surface of somebody and in addition becoming more acquainted with them better. She would do anything in the need of the general population she administers to. Even when the presence of demons was made known, Miki declined to partake in the putrefying anarchy that formed in the country, as she stayed undaunted in her confidence in love and prosperity.
Also, she was the fastest member of her high school's track team and held the reputation of being the fastest member.
Despite the series of tragedies that resulted in the world becoming more bleak as Akira's path as Devilman raged on, she remained as the titular hero's one and only ray of hope for humanity. However, then came the fateful moment of her life which served as her most unforgettable highlight.
Her death.
Not only was she murdered by an insane human mob chasing after her, but her dead body was desecrated by being dismembered and paraded around her burning house on tall stakes by said human mob. Thus, when she tragically died, Akira's faith in humanity died with her.
Just when you thought that like all of the other times, this would be the end for her. As always. However, destiny this time had other plans for her and a few chosen others.
The Ghost Rider, the infamous spirit of vengeance, had made contact with Akira when he was on his way to meet Ryo and after proving that he is an ally, Akira gave the rider Miki's severed head and Blaze went off with it to perform something.
Once he has stitched Miki's dead body back together into a complete body, he proceeded to use his powers to summon her soul from the afterlife and made it posses her dead corpse which caused it to be reanimated. Not only that, Mr Blaze also bestowed the powers of the spirit of vengeance into her.
Thus, the kind young girl who wanted to love everyone is now gone. In her place, Miki Makimura became the Onryo Runner.
Just like Johnny Blaze, she is also now a spirit of vengeance. Forever cursed to wander the human world in order to look for any wicked humans to punish and any loose demons to deport them back to hell.
Though she is a bit grateful for the Ghost Rider for bringing her back to life, she carried a bit of self-loathing onto herself as the resultant current state of her becoming a reanimated corpse caused her to see herself as a real monster. For example, whenever she touches someone, they won't get burnt by the hot fires of hell but they feel something just as terrifying. The extremely cold embrace of death.
As compared to the demons and devilmen, she is now a reanimated dead creature. Something she views as an unnatural abomination that shouldn't exist. Fortunately, she was confided by Blaze that her love, Akira, will always love her as she is still human and would do anything to bring her back if given the chance.
Furthermore, the trauma of her violent death at the hands of humans had given her the drive to mercilessly punish any wicked human whose sins have harmed the innocent in any way. Though her ways of punishing the wicked have been seen by many as too extreme, she had stated that she only does the punishing to the truly wicked and wouldn't harm the truly innocent and undeserving.
Luckily, the Onryo Runner had proven from time to time that even though Miki's soul had now been corrupted by the powers of hell, her pure and kind spirit who genuinely wanted to love others still lived on in her new form.
Plus, she treasures the memories of her loved ones and said memories were her drive to protect the innocent so that no one will ever have to go through any similar tragedies that she and her loved ones did.
Abilities and attacks:
Her talented running speed which she was known for when she was human got enhanced to superhuman levels.
Superhuman strength, agility and durability.
Presented by Blaze, she was given a pair of running shoes which she uses her magic to manipulate them to suit her image. Not only that, she was also given a billy club which was made out of two relay race batons connected together by an extendable cable.
Just like the Ghost Rider, she also has the ability to perform her own version of the Penance Stare. In the unfortunate victim's POV who gets caught in the stare, they would feel that their souls had been forcibly dropped into a boiling river of blood that is composed of the pain of all of the innocents that have suffered under the victim's sins in his or her lifetime.
So it's up to you on calling her who she is.
Is the Onryo Runner a spirit of vengeance or is she something else ?
