Gaia Name: Yokoalchemist

Name: Honto Teki-Taihaku
Nicknames: Monk, Priest, Trickster
Age: ??? (Appears to be in 23.. but so isn't)
Appearance:
Clan: Tachibana-Hakushaku [Associated]
Rank Head
Love Interest: I could tell you.. but where's the fun in that?
Personality: Honto is an easy going and laid back kind of guy, though he does play the occasional trick in his fellow Taihaku. Though if someone angers him in someway he can turn into quite the cutthroat.
Bio: Honto was born heir to the Teki clan, a decently sized clan of Inari that populated an old temple in the woods of Japan. They would protect the shrine and temple from evil spirits and demons to protect the humans since they kept their home well taken care of and were, in a way, their source of power. When people started visiting their home less and less their power started to grow weak. Honto's father passed away when he lacked the power to fend off some attackers. He defeated the murderers and took his place as head of the clan..
Things only got worse, even to the point where no one came to their area anymore. The Shrine and temple was in shambles and his people were becoming more vulnerable. He wasn't sure what to do until he learned about the Taihaku, a gathering of many demon clans to serve under one. So Honto met with Seo to make a deal. If Seo provided a place for his clan to live and survive he would follow him without question.

Gaia Name: Arena Emperor

Name: Kappa (Taihaku)
Nicknames: None
Age: Unknown (Even by Kappa)
Appearance: (Demon Form), Human Form
Clan: Taihaku [Associated]
Rank Member
Love Interest: Koko? Or maybe Jin or Mai or Yasuko? ...He seems to be fairly ambiguous, actually. ...Is he even interested in romance, or is he just influenced by Kurotabou?
Personality: Kappa is an easy-going demon who just goes with the flow. Despite his looks, he is actually a very skilled ninja, and can be extremely deadly in water. Perhaps this ninja-background is what makes him so malleable, able to be calm when it's called for, be a little playful when it's called for, or whatever the situation demands. He tends to only stick his head out when there is a worthwhile reason to do so, or simply for fun's sake. He can be a little mischievous as well, calmly poking at those around him and stirring little pots of mischief or trouble here and there. He appreciates Koko in particular for sharing this trait with him, and can often be found (when out of the koi pond) with her or Kurotabou. He loves having water poured over his head (it's like a really, really good massage to him), enjoys Western music best, absolutely loves eating cucumbers, and sometimes passes out in rivers just for the fun of figuring out where he has floated off to when he wakes up. He also has one of the most complete and convincing human transformations, often to the point that even his allies fail to notice him.
Bio: The history of Kappa is generally unknown to the majority of the important members of the Taihaku Clan. The truth of the matter is simply that for quite some time the small demon has merely been there, living in the Estates and guarding the heads of the Clan, lounging in the koi ponds, and generally existing as a friend to all those heads of the clan who have come to know him. His skills indicate that he has some history with a ninja clan of demons, but whether or not he learned from a clan of Kappa himself or if he learned from someone else and remains unknown. What is known is that Kappa is neither a part of nor claims membership in any sub-clan, only having sworn his loyalty to the Taihaku as a whole some time ago. Most can't quite remember when he joined, if he has only been there in recent years or has been there for a while, such is the low-key existence he preferred to keep...that is, before Lord Seo. For reasons known only to him, Kappa grew quite attached to the ill young Lord, and has come out of his pond a bit more, so to speak, in the days since he took over the clan. Becoming more involved with the celebrations and ongoing actions of the Clan, he seeks still to serve, occasionally stirring up trouble and generally making fun with other rambunctious members of the clan on occasion. Most of the time, however, he can still be found relaxing in the ponds just outside the estate's main building either having water poured over his head by those who happen by or pleasantly munching on a cucumber in anticipation of some fun, new happenings here or there.

It is known that at some point he became relatively familiar with Kurotabou, and the two have been known to speak outside of the meetings on occasion. He also seems fond of Koko, who is a bit of a kindred spirit in her mischievous nature as well as her ninja background. Her Kitsune Fire and his Mizuchi Sphere are a deadly fire-water combination if they were to deign to fight together.

Demonic Abilities:
Kappa Secret Art: Mizuchi Sphere - Kappa creates a sphere of water within his hand that grows larger and more powerful the longer that he holds it. Is eventually thrown like a projectile that impacts and splashes water out all over the battlefield, dealing immense damage to a chosen enemies. [High Water Damage, increases to Severe with one turn of charging, increases to Severe with a Mind Charge after two turns of charging, Hits all enemies with Double Mind Charge Severe Damage after three turns. Always Breaks Water Resistances.]
Kappa Ninja Art: Hidden Pond Bypass - Water is the domain of Kappa, and as long as there is water spread around the battlefield he can act and move with a much greater freedom than if he were on entirely dry land. Surrounding himself with water, he prepares to move through these small pools of water using a ninja technique which will allow him to emerge from other pools nearby. [Drastically increase speed/attack power, may dive into pools of water and emerge from another pool nearby. Great when used in conjunction with Mizuchi's Sphere to create small pools of water on the battlefield.]
Kappa Secret Art: Liquid Courage - No, we're not talking about alcohol. We're talking about literal water. If Kappa is hit with a water spell, is able to dive into water, or otherwise is able to consume, absorb, or be surrounded by water, his combat abilities will increase drastically. He is, after all, an aquatic creature, so fighting outside of his element is a bit awkward for him. With water, however...Kappa becomes a truly fierce enemy! [Double Heat Riser + Power and Mind Charge (6 turns, 3 turn cool down unless in water)]
