Character Name: Yomi
Species: Shinjin - Makaioshin Path
Age: 10 487 years old
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 160 lbs
Appearance: (couldn't find a picture I liked)
Yomi is a young Makaioshin of ten millennia, who takes on the appearance of a porcelain white-skinned Shinjin with youth comparable to that of an Earthling man of thirty years. He has long, pointed ears with red potara-esque earrings. His fingernails are slightly longer than normal and razor sharp and his canines are elongated into fangs. His eyes are a deep crimson and they exude malevolence and hatred. His hair is black as midnight, coming down to just below the middle of his back. His wardrobe consists of a long black jacket that goes down to just below his knees. This is on top of a red button-up dress shirt and black slacks. In combat, the jacket glows with red markings, appearing to be some sort of dead language. On the index finger of his right hand, he has a white gold band set with a blood red gem.
Personality:
Yomi has been entirely on his own since the beginning of his existence. No friends. No allies. Only assets. The demon realm is a very harsh place, so in order to survive, you had to be very powerful, very well-connected, or very cunning. Yomi chose to be cunning. He gets what he wants through honeyed words and empty promises where he can and force when his more diplomatic means fail. Though he trained himself in martial arts, he loathes to use his training, preferring to get someone he knows to do the fighting for him. The reason for this is quite simple. Yomi's opinion of himself is astronomically high. He believes all Makaioshin to be the true gods of the universe because of their iron-handed approach to rule and the willingness to do the icky things that other Shinjin would never dream of doing. For this reason, he believes Kaioshin and Kaio to be beneath him, and mortals even farther beneath them. He believes mortals to be uncivilized brutes allowed to run rampant by the weak, passive leadership of the Kaioshin.
When it comes to his outside interests, Yomi has taken a liking to the planet Earth II recently. Life in the Demon Realm is so incredibly boring, and Yomi is one to be bored quite easily. Upon his first visit to Earth, he found it to be the one gem in the rock that was mortality. Their TV shows, their movies, their games, and especially their food. The Makaioshin found himself a mortal planet he liked; the one exception to the brash, uncivilized, mortals. He does not believe Earth is perfect, but he believes it to have potential. All it needs is a strong, iron will to guide it. He believes that, with a little work, Earth can be made into a perfect world that could serve as a blueprint that the rest of the universe could be made to follow.
Brief History:
Yomi was born from the rotten fruit of a Kaiju tree more than ten millennia ago. He was thrown into the demon realm, where he was born among the dusty crags. He was alone. That was the one fact that would never change. When Yomi joined the others of his kind, he found himself an outcast due to his quiet nature. It was a struggling few centuries for the young Makaioshin, but one day he came to a realization; he couldn't get by on his own. No matter how badly he wanted to, he couldn't. That was when he made a decision; he wouldn't change to fit his circumstances, he would change his circumstances to fit him. He practiced, day after day, month after month, year after year to become a charismatic, charming man that could gain the alliances and support one would need to make it out of the demon realm and into the mortal world where he could be somebody important.
His efforts were quite fruitful. Through sheer tenacity and force of will, the quiet Makaioshin forged himself into he soul of confidence and cunning. With the connections he forged, he ended up securing the location of a door that led to Earth. Armed with this knowledge, he left the demon realm, finding his way to the original Earth. When flights to Earth II began, Yomi found himself curious, and so he boarded one of those flights to the new planet. He was underwhelmed by what he saw. It was essentially just like the planet that he left. Still, he settled here for the next few centuries, watching the comings and goings of the different mortals on the planet. The peace and order here was quite welcome. It seemed to be the only place it existed in such quantities. Yomi remains on Earth to this day, observing with patience that only someone long-lived could be capable of. Truthfully, however, Yomi lost sight of his original goal to elevate his kind and himself specifically to the top.
Earth made him soft. It made him complacent. However, all of that may soon end.
