"Hn..."

Had a very tense reunion with Darcy after being absent for a couple of weeks.
He was extremely joyous to see Kumiko again, as she was with him, but Darcy's reaction to his arrival left him upset and confused.
Attempted to approach Darcy only to be met with taunts and antler-shaking.
Dejectedly, with some coaxing, he sat a little off to Darcy's side with Kumiko, willing to at least keep him company.
Darcy soon left their side, and Obake forced himself to be cheerful by playing a little with Kumiko, Herla and a couple of fawns.
Herla turned him into a mini, which further helped lighten the mood. The oni ran around in good humor, failing to be threatening.
Was saddened all over again when Kumiko left. He then followed Darcy's scent to the Gods Hill, much to his dismay.
Cautiously the oni approached, strangely not deterred when he saw that Darcy was praying. He remained vigilant, however.
Darcy then moved towards him while bearing the devout spell, causing Obake to flee as he believed that the monarch would use it.
Darcy pursued him to the playground, which only angered and upset the oni even further. They had a stand-off before D left again.
Stubbornly the oni followed him, and seeing that D was at his daughter's grave site he sat a distance away out of respect.
Was surprised when Darcy soon got up and beckoned him over. He did so, and the two sat together in silence.
Darcy was later persistently "attacked" by Herla, who kept casting animal spells on him and darting around.
Although amused, the oni got between them and attempted to discourage Herla, as he was afraid that a fight may break out.
Later on Herla returned again, and the oni beckoned for her to sit by him in peace. She did so, and the oni could finally relax.

Obake is an oni who is not only carnivorous, but also consumes souls on occasion.
This occurs when he is starving, doesn't wish to hunt or as an act of venegful spite.
He consumes just enough, rather than an entire soul, to satisfy himself.
The process itself is relatively harmless, and painless.
The side-effects are not severe, but include mild dizziness, nausea and fatigue.
Side-effects vary in strength depending on how much of one's soul he has consumed.
Obake prefers the souls of fawns and young deer, as they are more potent.
He is drawn to pregnant does as the unborn fawns are prime targets for soul consumption.
The process may be indentified by him circling and then nuzzling a fawn continuously.
He may be chased off, and will usually not put up a fight.

What shall we call you, Obaké?
A 'demon' as one may say?
But I see no demon, my friend
Who is to give these petty labels?
Be what you wish, who is to stop you?
It is not their life to live, it is yours
This hummingbird admires a truly living one

Thank you so much jala, Terabetha and Fincayra! Your words are very encouraging, and I'm happy that you enjoy the manip and CSS; I certainly had fun with both! And, thank you for the comment on the oni, Terabetha; that really means a lot and is a relief, especially since I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

A demon? Frolicking with a miko?

I think there's something rather wrong here, hehe.
shinto's picture

Oh, so that was your deer! A

Oh, so that was your deer! A miko, you say~ Well, that's alright; there is very little if not nothing that Obake fears, and that includes shamans and priests, hehe. Plus, he is easily swayed by a charming doe. ;D I quite like your character; she's interesting, and very sweet!
Kumiko's picture

Your stag seems very interesting, too. I'm guessing that she should feel threatened by him, but she doesn't feel the need to be.

It was nice to have someone come along for the imi ritual tonight who partook in it. She enjoyed the company.
shinto's picture

Thank you! She needn't feel

Thank you! She needn't feel threatened; he's usually pretty passive, although his mood can turn on a dime. He doesn't go after females in any case, however...unless she does something to really tick him off, like hurting him with ritual magic and such.

It was a pleasure! It was interesting seeing her perform the ritual, despite the fact that Obake wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do. I'm glad that she trusts him; he's definitely charmed by her. =)
Kumiko's picture

She does not know very many

She does not know very many rituals. She really only knows some cleansing rituals to help protect others, but nothing involving exorcisms or things of that nature.
shinto's picture

Oh, gotcha. That's good to know, and certainly a relief for Obake, haha! Cleansing rituals are always handy, definitely.

Thanks for the spar and the company tonight ^^ Any friend of Kumiko's is a friend of Darcy's...well, hopefully haha
shinto's picture

You're most welcome! Your

You're most welcome! Your stag is very interesting; I quite like him. Obake enjoyed the spar and company very much as well~ I'm surprised that she got along with him even though she's a priestess and he's a demon, but I'm glad they got to know each other...and your stag also, of course! =)

Thank you so much, Starling

Thank you so much, Starling and Kaoori! I absolutely love Ken Watanabe; he's such a wonderful actor and person. I thought his voice would fit Obake perfectly: deep, passive and slightly broken. =) Thank you for the tracks~ ♥

Haha, why thank you wocio! I am glad you think so; he's supposed to be, after all! =) Much appreciation for the track~

Oh, that's your deer Selruil? I like her, she's very fun! Obake is always easily swayed by a charming doe, hehe. He would love to learn how she did that sliding trick while sitting! =D
Kaoori's picture

the more I look at this bio,

the more I look at this bio, the more I love it. I have a Japanese demon too, her name's Yura and she's a Kushisake-onna. Kaoori, Takeshi and Umi are all Japanese deer... I wonder if Kaoori and Umi would have knowledge of oni, seeing as they were born outside of the endless forest. x)

Yeeesss. That's Levi.

Yeeesss. That's Levi. (:
Funnily enough she's pregnant. Haha! And he's drawn to expecting does. |D

And the sliding trick is a bit of a challenge, but pretty much you hold down the 'a' key, click sit [ while holding the 'a' key] and press the listen hotkey, and then another random hotkey. Like bow. ^^
That should do the trick, but I may be wrong.

Thank you, Kaoori! Oooh, a

Thank you, Kaoori! Oooh, a slit-mouthed woman...that is so neat. I've definitely heard about them, and it's awesome that you made a character based on one. Japanese demons are so delightfully grotesque, no? Oh yes, Obake was born outside of the forest as well. He is at least a couple thousand years old, although his memory isn't the best, hehe. If it's alright with you, perhaps he and one of your characters could meet sometime? I would love to see how that would play out. =)

Selruil - Oooh, she's pregnant? That is a funny coincidence! But yes, Obake's drawn to them for his own reasons, which may or may not be played out in the game. I still need to develop on that quirk further, hehe. Oh, gotcha! Hm, that sounds a little tricky, but I'll give it a shot! It looked so silly; I haven't seen anyone do that before! You learn something new every day, it seems~

Thank you so much StarBright, I greatly appreciate it! ♥ I love your deer's design as well, and his bio is stunning. I wish I could have made a more complicated bio like yours, though; alas, laziness rears its ugly head. =P

I'd love for our characters

I'd love for our characters to interact. I'm still developing Yura; I should drag her out more often too. Smiling
shinto's picture

Oh my goodness, yes, please

Oh my goodness, yes, please do~ I'm sure Obake would feel right at home meeting another demon, although the funky mouth may throw him off at first! =P
