::Lord Ryugetsei Iyokono-Chosokabe (3rd Head of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Arena Emperor Quote: Name: Ryugetsei Iyokono-Chosokabe Nicknames: Lord Ryu, Lord Ryuga, Ryu Age: 137 (Looks between 19 and 23) Appearance: Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] Rank 3rd Head of the Iyokono-Chosokabe Clan Alliance (Aligned organization with the Yatagarasu) Love Interest: ?? Personality: The best way to describe him would be 'loose', or 'simplistic'. His power allowed him to overcome the Saint and claim lordship over the Clan, but the fact remains that he is a bit too idiosyncratic to be much of a leader. He prefers sake to strategy, and plays his lute when he should be working on upgrading defenses against the Miyoshi. He unintentionally keeps the clan poor not because he means to, but because his instincts lead him to hoarding treasure in his bed chamber upon which he sleeps as though it were a squishy futon. And when finally coaxed into battle, his commands are often simplistic and disastrous in ways such as marching through a thick mud because he prefers to travel in straight lines towards the enemy. Only his overwhelming strength and the power of his great war fan allow him to overcome these shortcomings, and it is this strength and his jovial, boisterous, and quite friendly nature with his clans members which endears him to them and allows him to get along. And though his loose methods make him seem careless, he actually cares about the members of his clan a great deal. He is not afraid to strike back anywhere his members are bothered...not the least of the reasons behind that being the chance to add more loot to his treasure trove from the conquered foes. ...He also loves ladies, putting it frankly, though he is not renowned as a pervert. His preference would be the particularly strong ones, who aren't afraid to show some spirit. Bio: In his youth, Ryugetsei was not yet a member of the Iyokono Clan. He can't remember a time when he was young that he had anybody that he could call a friend or his family. It didn't bother him; he had mastered his human form at a young age and was able to blend in as a street vagabond for some time, traveling the island of Shikoku and living on that which he could manage to steal. He snatched purses, food, whatever he could get his hands on...and yet even then, his habit for hoarding the loot that he gathered plagued him. Rather than spending, he was always perpetually impoverished, and while he ate, he didn't eat nearly as much as he should have. He was thin, often hungry, and yet he was generally in good spirits as long as he had his bag of loot to carry back to one of his many personal hideouts. At the age of 6 he (demon reckoning) he pilfered a lute that he began to teach himself to play on nights when he was alone (which was most of them). At the age of 8 (demon reckoning) he acquired a small taste for sake, and this became another habit he never quite kicked. He was alone, but he wasn't unhappy...or at least, he didn't think that he was unhappy. No one had ever taken enough notice of his actions to truly put him in danger, and so he thought that his life was fine as it was...until the day that he picked the wrong pocket at the Age of 10. ...It was a member of the Miyoshi, one of the leaders at the time, and this time his antics did not go unnoticed, nor unpunished. He was hunted by the Miyoshi, chased from one end of Shikoku to the other, and though he had learned some of his techniques by then it wasn't nearly enough. It was only at his wits' end, out of places to run and hide and within days, maybe less of being found by the Miyoshi that he met a kindly old demon that went by the title of 'Saint'. Taking pity on the boy, he invited him into an alliance that he promised would protect him. It was...strange, to rely on someone else. It felt wrong, but he had no other option. And so he accepted...and for the first time learned just how wonderful it could be to have friends to celebrate and drink and play music together with! The only price he had to pay was his mound of loot...which he painfully agreed to part ways with. Thus began his membership in the Iyokono Clan... ...Years passed thereafter, and under the tutelage of the Saint and the other members of the Clan, Ryu began to understand the true nature of his powers better than he ever could have on his own. He trained, and he grew stronger...until in his late adolescence he became one of the chief advisers and soldiers under the Saint for the sake of the Clan. He loved the clan, and he loved the times they had together, but he hated all the planning and thought that went into battle. He was the type who liked either to steal surreptitiously or fight head-on, and nowhere in between. And while the Saint was a quality leader, the Miyoshi were growing in strength...and the Iyokono were growing weaker in spite of their leadership. The spiritualism and the techniques which had guided them into peaceful harmony were losing their charm, and demons that doubted their leader began to break away and flee to the mainland...or even Kyushu and the Taihaku Alliance. Something needed to change, or else they were going to fall...and the whole of Shikoku would come under the control of the sly Miyoshi Clan. ...It is unknown if this was why Ryu made the surprising decision to invoke the Iyokono Clan's traditional right to challenge the leadership in combat, or if there was something else behind it. Everybody knew that of the entire clan, it was likely that the Saint was the one Ryu respected more than anyone. Nonetheless, with the dawn of the new century...the challenge was issued...and the growing influence of Ryugetsei allowed him the support of his clan even after he defeated the leader that everyone had loved and respected so much. ...Though it is possible some still resent him for his victory, the change in leadership reinvigorated the clan's morale, demonstrated a new strength at the top, and his entertaining ways made the clan that much more fun to be a part of...leading many who were in need of entertainment and/or protection to seek out his aid and the aid of the clan. Though even now, with the clan on the verge of another rise in power or fall into decadence under his leadership, he still will not allow those who support him to speak ill of the fallen Saint. He refers to him respectfully to this day, and holds him in the highest regard...as a great leader, and the most difficult opponent that he has ever faced.

Finally, a Black Dragon descends at the center with glowing red eyes...and from its mouth erupts a breath of Almighty power which inflicts Severe Damage to all foes. Afterward, the sky will remain dark and Ryuga will have a slightly increased power as a result. (5 turn recharge) Quote: Items Owned:Iyokono (Chosokabe) Clan Crest Tattoo - Upper left arm.

::Inu Kotarou-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Yuetchi Farandole Quote: Name: Inu Kotarou-Iyokono Nicknames: Inu, or Kotarou. She reacts rather aggressively to any attempts at humor about her appearance in the form of nicknames... Age: 22 Appearance: Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] Rank Former Heiress to the Kotarou Clan, Associated with the Iyokono Clan Love Interest: Personality: Inu is a more quiet individual among those outside of the clans. She's decisive, to the point, and blunt about her point of view. She takes heed of her targets before she engages in battles, most of the time. She does keep to herself though, and really finds it difficult to share all of her thoughts with others. In all, she appears uncomfortable with emotional closeness to others, though whether this is from lack of experience in it with other individuals or just a personality tick is up for speculation. To her own fellow clan members, she's a bit more sociable and definitely more respectable, as to her own eyes they are like pack to her, even if they're not wolves like herself. She's aggressively protective of them and doesn't view opposition to them very rationally. Bio: Inu Kotarou wass the young soon-to-be-head of the Kotarou Wolf Clan, or pack as they refer to themselves, through the eventual death of her father, alpha of the clan, and her excellent rise in personal ability through her focus on training during her life. At one point, the Kotarou Clan chose to keep to their own affairs and avoid conflict unless with those a danger to their own well being, content with their own closeness to each other. However Inu wasn't one to be blind to the things starting around them in Shikoku. During her father's live reign, he was determined to keep out of getting involved, but that could only continue on so long before the clan found themselves fighting amongst themselves over what to do. The influence of the Miyoshi was causing a disturbance in what they once called a decent life, and their pack was now endangered. It wasn't until she finally felt fed up with seeing people she cared for dying away, Inu found her chance to stop the fighting. She found the voice to demand they see the true problem plaguing their lives. The outside influences they chose to blissfully ignore for so long. But now that their own kind were dying and suffering, how could they merely stand by and suffer like this any longer? Here, Inu did something no other in her bloodline had dared do. She gave them a choice to either remain with her and follow her, or remain with her father. She'd made the decision to take those who were willing to follow her into the heart of the conflict, to the Iyokono Clan, and agree to merge their alliances with the mix of other demons, as long as the clan leader was willing to take her and who followed her there as she began to prove that despite her look and age, she was never one to take lightly. Quote: Organizational DataColor: Dark Slate GreyArcana: The Magician Demon Type: Demon Wolf Weapon-type: Two-Handed Swords or hand-to-(ahem)claws Body Part: Wolf ears Fighting Style: Normally strategic, agile warrior. Gets aggressive and more up-front when angered or more serious or someone close to her is threatened.

::Takara, Yamaguchi-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Nekama Speaks Quote: Name: Takara Yamaguchi Nicknames: Age: ((appears 20ish)) Appearance: w/o mantleClan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] Rank member Love Interest: Hmmm? That sticky gooey feeling? Personality: There is something almost feral about Takara; the way she carries herself is different than most other females, the way she walks, talks and acts speaks of her time in secluded in the mountains. She does not seem to be comfortable around too many people, nor does she like her personal space to be invaded; Takara however also has a soft spot that is seldom seen – it is more rumor that truth that she may treat a select few kindly and enjoys reading and hearing romance stories. She considers her war paint attractive and is protective of her mantle and the few bonds that she holds close. Bio: Takara had been alone for a long as she could remember, her species did not live together and instead fought and killed each other for territory should they ever meet up (the only exception being once every 50 years when they would meet to breed). Seclusion never bothered the demon who was quite content roaming the mountain top that she had claimed as her own and killing those who dare to trespass on her land. Her strength was unrivaled on the mountain and many fell to it, her most prized kill being a tiger demon of pure white. The beast had put up a good fight and injured her gravely; the wounds took weeks to heal all the way but the fight had been worth it. To honor the beast that had hurt her so (or perhaps to dishonor it?) she skinned the beast and now wears its pelt as a mantle and a mark of her power. As time went on Takara began to grow restless, endless boredom and an odd sort of sadness clouded the demon's mind as she spent day after day on her mountain. No beasts came her way, by now they knew of the danger that awaited them, and no humans came either as the legends of treasure at the mountain's mouth had long since faded from their memories... or so it seemed. With the change of seasons came a strange demon, unafraid to step foot on Takara's mountain in search of the “treasure” that the humans used to talk about. Ryugetsei was peculiar, but at last she saw an end to her boredom and engaged him in battle. There was no doubt that the residents below the mountain and through out the land could hear their clash; each blow traded more powerful than the last as Takara realized in desperation that this man was not one she could easily defeat. The battle ended in her defeat and exhausted, she looked up at her opponent from the ground only to explain that there was no treasure on her mountain, that there had never been a treasure. Lord Ryu's disappointment was clear that there was no gold, gems or weapons to carry home; however some good came of this when he offered her a place in his clan. The rather introverted mountain demon rose from her place on the ground, having found she had liked this battle and that she was tired of her perch above the world, agreed to join the Iyokono clan. The treasure at the mountain's mouth descended her throne then in hopes of a better, less mundane life with the Iyokono. Quote: Organizational DataColor: Vale GreenArcana: The Lovers Demon Type: Mountain Demon Weapon-type: Cleaver Body Part: Her horns and gray skin Fighting Style: Blunt force attacks backed by magic Quote: [Demon] FormPhysical Appearance when Transformed Larger and much more beast like, her horns extend to the sky, her muscles far larger than her human form, there is not a bit of humanity to her features...

::Shiranui, Amaterasu-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Yokoalchemist Quote: Name: Shiranui Amaterasu Nicknames: Ammy, Shira Age: ??? (Looks between 20 - 22) Appearance: Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] Rank Head of the Amaterasu Clan, Associated with the Iyokono Clan Love Interest: Available Personality: Treats others with respect and appears to always be in a mode of peace, rarely showing her temper though it's rumored that when she snaps.. It's scary. Bio: Shiranui and her clan always resided away from society to keep themselves safe from any danger. They lived in peace, except for the occasional close run-ins with other demons and humans, as they moved from place to place. They feared that staying in one location for too long would put them at risk of detection. Though one day one of their members caught the eye of a Miyoshi member, making their existence known. That was the start of their dark times, slowly losing members of their pack to the powerful hunters that pursued them. Soon they felt like there was nowhere else to go, especially with their numbers being dangerously low. Instead of giving up the former head, Shiranui's mother, gave her daughter the title of leader and went to face the attackers alone. She sacrificed her life to give her clan the chance to flee to the one group that could help them. The Iyokono. Shiranui joined them to help rid the lands of the threat that was against them and provide protection for the few clan mates she had left. It's said that on certain nights one can find Shiranui howling sadly at the moon, morning the loss of her clan members and her mother.

::Nero Tyrannis-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Rednal Quote: Name: Nero Nicknames: Ennea (to her friends, preferred; most of the clan knows only this) Age: Unknown (Old) Appearance: Clan: Tyrannis-Iyokono [Main] Rank: Leader Love Interest: None. Personality: Ennea (as she prefers to be known, over her given name) is someone who actually fits into the mold of 'Demon' fairly well. Her primary personality is that of a cheerful, outgoing, rather playful girl, and the Iyokono clan in general is quite happy when she stays that way. It's her other personality that's the problem, because [Tyrant] Nero is one of the Clan's oldest, most dangerous members. She's kind of mellowed out in recent centuries, but every now and then people who bother the clan are reminded of why that Clan is in control, and exactly what it was she had to do with that... and in the meantime, she occasionally serves as an advisor to the head of the Clan, giving them advice if they need it on how to proceed. Bio: Ennea has existed, in some form, since considerably back in Japan's history. It's fairly certain that she wasn't the first demon to show up in the land, but history is frustratingly vague, and it's known she appeared at least fairly early on, coming from somewhere else and quite cheerfully slaughtering whatever got in her way. This state of affairs persisted for some time, though the peak of the interesting points was probably when Ennea crushed the two demons that would eventually have their powers forged into her weapons. There were no truly serious threats left in the area by then, though, and she'd grown to enjoy Japan, so she settled down and, as demons are wont to do, just kind of faded away from the world for awhile... until, that is, the village where she'd been living was destroyed by a new battle raging across the land. This was something of a mistake on the part of those who opposed what would settle into becoming the Iyokono clan; as lesser demons are perfectly aware, pissing off a Tyrant is never a good idea. Even if it was a total accident. Ennea joined the battle on the side opposing those who had burned her village and contributed rather measureably to the Iyokono's ultimate success. It was about that time that one of the Iyokono's members gave her a name, referencing one of the Roman emperors, and from that point on the Tyrant demon became known as 'Nero'... though she still preferred her older name 'Ennea' be used by her friends. As the Iyokono largely settled down, she did as well. She was pretty quiet for a time, travelling through villages and living peacefully, but eventually she returned to the company of other demons and began to play, and make friends, and otherwise become known as she is today to much of the clan, one of its most cheerful, flirtatious, and sociable members. Incidentally, it was during this modern era that she had her weapons reforged, changing from swords to guns in order to keep up with the changing times. She seems happier this way. Quote: Organizational DataColor: RedArcana: Chariot Demon Type: Tyrant Weapon-type: Guns Body Part: Hands Fighting Style: Mid-ranged devastation Quote: [Demon] FormPhysical Appearance when Transformed: Belts. Quite a lot of belts, actually, wrapped all over her body (which is the same as before; she's a humanoid demon to start with). Buckles, too, and various other bindings that appear to have no purpose except holding her back. Of course, not many people actually realize the significance of this...

Debilitate 5. Instant Recovery 6. Ari Dance 7. Divine Pillar 8. Salvation Demonic Abilities: Tyrant's Aura - A [Tyrant] is a member of one of the highest classes of demons, and a simple look is often enough to deeply rattle foes. Within Nero's presence, enemies have a 1-in-4 chance each post of being too intimidated to act. Fairly literally: this is the 'Intimidated' ailment. This aura can also be focused onto one target to guarantee their inability to act for a post (and will break through resistance to / nullification of ailments, though recovery is still possible), but at the cost of preventing Nero from doing anything else that turn. Like, say, attacking. Additionally, this aura can only be focused once every five posts. Nero's mellowed out too much to keep glaring at people for very long, so this isn't as strong as it once was. Nero can turn this power on or off at will. Tyrant's Force - The power of a Tyrant is incredible... basically everything Nero does is more powerful than usual, and as a result every attack of hers does 50% more damage and has a 1-in-3 chance of being a critical hit. Hyperborea Zero Drive - [Tyrant] Nero's ultimate attack, the one she doesn't really use very often. A power that simulates the heat death of the universe within a limited area, Hyperborea Zero Drive possesses power equivalent to a mind-charged blast of Severe Almighty damage to All Enemies. This spell has a five post cooldown; Nero's been out of practice for centuries, after all, and can't throw around power the way she used to.

::Ren/Ran (Kukuraku)-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Necromonium Quote: Name:Ren/Ran Kukuraku Iyonkono Nicknames: Ren/Ran, Age: Young-ish. Appearance: (Ren on the Left. Ran on the right) Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] Rank Member. Love Interest: "Huh? No one in particular. What about you Ran?" "Why would I tell you?" "Awww come on~~" Personality: Ren is rather cheery and friendly, with a hint of depravity at times. She's Frugal, and usually believes that things aren't to be quickly used, or money spent: Rather, saved Ran, on the other hand, is the type to spend the money on the first thing she sees, indulge herself on anything desired. Much more abrasive, and forward, with a stotic mask at times. Bio: Ren and Ran both came from a Clan of Baku demons, being demons that ate nightmares. However, the clan as a whole thought of this as a sign of some higher power, and link to the divine, thinking themselves spiritually enhanced compared to other clans and such. Day in, Ren and Ran would be raised to praise a higher power than their own, and day out, they would say the prayers that would keep them bound to the earth, and alive to tell tales and devour nightmares when they got older. However, Ran was diagnosed with a defect of sorts, that caused her to fall ill, and as they prayed more and more, it seemed that nothing would seem to help. Eventually, however, the clan head came up with a solution, believing a special ritual would be able to bind the two as one. A ritual that took three days commenced, in which Ren was to fast, while Ran was to sate her hunger and thirst as she pleased. The idea was to get the two sisters on an equal level of health, to do what they referred to as "Synchronizing the Spirits". By bringing the weak one's condition up, and the strong one's down, they would achieve spiritual closeness, and be able to then get well together. On the final day of the ritual, on top of dressing the two in identical clothing, and placing them exactly the same distance apart, a special blade, preserved for the rituals themselves was brought forth and placed between the two. However, as they were getting to the end of the ceremony, something strange seemed to happen. A bright light Illuminated the area, and before anyone knew it, one of the two had faded away, while the other lay clutching the blade. Considering the way the Ritual was, it was impossible to tell who had been absorbed, and whom was the one standing in front of them. Only one thing was for sure..... The Clan became more spiritual in the literal sense, as the majority of the clan was murdered at the hands of the girl harboring conflicting feelings based on her life. However, the blade itself seemed to call out, and the voice of the other girl called out, bringing the figure to calm. The two-in-one figure then became a nomad, moving from place to place to find a place to call home, debating things and learning to get used to their body. Eventually, she found her way to the Iyokono, and though she was definitely peculiar as a demon, she was accepted into their ranks. Despite being a tad young for a demon, the binding ritual brought her up to strength with the others, and thus: Enables her to fight with the other members of the clan, despite having little formal combat training.

Additonally, since it's another mind, this move can be activated while normally being unable to act. (Via Confusion, Rage, Charm or Fear) However, because it takes concious effort to switch, it does in fact count as a Move, and as such, doesn't allow Ren/Ran to make an additonal action that turn. Hey that's My Move! - The two souls in one, bound by the ritual of the clan, surprisingly don't agree on a lot of things. And as such, have childish petty squabbles over who gets to do what. In exchange for having enhanced Magical ability, the two have openly forbidden the other to cast their Elemental spell. (Ren can not cast Any Electric Spells. Ran cannot cast any Wind spells) ((50% Buff to Magic offense, 50% Reduced Cost for chosen spell) One, two, Three, Sychronize! One two three, cheat Death!! -Sometimes, battles get intense. And Sometimes, if the battle gets intense enough, the two lay down their differences, and join forces to obliterate a foe. When Ren/Ran's Enduring Soul Ability is Triggered, the two minds/Spirits come together, and for Three turns, the 'Hey That's My Move' is temporarily shut off, allowing the other Elemental spell to be cast, and the Split Personale doesn't force inaction/Trigger on the third turn to switch over (seeing as they're both inhabiting the body at the same time). Rather, on the third turn after going into this mode, the two can unleash a Powerful Storm of Energy that deals Severe Wind and Electric Damage. However, after using such a powerful spell, Ren/Ran has to rest for two turns, unable to act. Making it a Last Resort move of the highest caliber.

::Kirigakure, Saizou-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Great Ryoman! Quote: Name: Saizou Kirigakure Nicknames: The Prodigy Ninja Age: Appearance: Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] Rank Advisor Love Interest: A ninja's not suppose to be tied down. Personality: Saitou's distrustful of Lords, loyalties, and men who talk too much about honor. Saitou does believe in repaying obligations however, primarily to the female population, and so he always does his best to repay a debt. Saitou has a short temper for irresponsible people, and villains however, and is more a 'chivalrous thief' than anything else. Naturally, this puts him at odds with Ryuga...a lot. Bio: Saizou was a ninja from the legendary Iga village, which gave rise to himself, as well as the "Demon Wind" Kotaro Fuuma. Unlike the Koga ninjas, their rivals, the Iga were masters of more specialized arts and were less well rounded in stealth, meaning that their skills were much harder to market for mere subterfuge; instead, he was raised with assassination as his main skill set, which made working relatively difficult (though the Sengoku Era was always ready to provide opportunities). Originally working for Ieyasu Tokugawa, the young daimyo (and then rival to Hideyoshi, but servant of Nobunaga) sent Saizou to eliminate his rival, only to be caught and brought before Hideyoshi to face execution. A ninja who was much more apt to wing things, Saizou had recognized signs of forced entry during his own entrance, and warned Hideyoshi that there was another assassin, offering to catch him in return for his life. Saizou caught the assassin, and then was offered one chance to become Hideyoshi's ninja or face the chopping block. Considering Saizou felt that there was no real obligation in ties by money, he quickly found himself in the service of the new rising power in Japan, and spent many years underneath him. When the great monkey died, Saitou's distaste for loyalty had already grown as he was worked to the bone in order to keep his head, and the man he'd served had been questionable enough that Saitou no longer trusted the 'great lord's of his day. Finally, Saitou set out on an adventure of his own, only to stumble into the massacring of a priesthood just north of Kai, leading him to save the only remaining priestess and bring her to the local lord, Yukimura Sanada. To his dismay though, the local Koga ninja Sasuke Sarutobi claimed that since he'd been the one to bring her there, he had an obligation to help her. And so, that guilty little voice in the back of his head prodded the ninja into becoming one of Sanada's Ten Braves, and the legendary rival of Sasuke Sarutobi.
Eventually Saizou found himself and the priestess um, attracted to one another, and apparently a priestess falling in love and abandoning her covenant with the Gods was frowned upon in the divine. The ninja, already infamous as one of the four most renown blades in the dark along with his fellow Iga Fuuma, and their respective Koga rivals Sasuke Sarutobi and Hattori Hanzo, was thus cursed to bear the karma of his life and under the Gods' ire turned into a Demon, no longer aging while the woman who had convinced him to love her was not so 'blessed'. Although the curse didn't make itself apparent at first, as the years passed by they began to realize what was wrong, and at her urging Saizou moved the two out of Yukimura's service at the battle for Osaka, feigning death to excuse himself before he was discovered. To say that he felt heartbroken as the years continued to ebb onwards would have been an understatement, and eventually he cursed the Gods who had cursed him when everyone he knew or loved passed on. The death of Yukimura had marked the last time Saizou would trust another to be his leader, and the death of the priestess made him throw away any ties through either work or honor. Instead, he spent the next few hundred years as a vagabond, working only as he found clients for himself, and practicing with his new Demon Strength, although he no longer felt the urge to use his talents like he once had when Sasuke Sarutobi had been his rival. Instead, he slowly felt his past slipping away, his love and his hatred forgotten, everything that had made him who he was except for his talents gone...and so he felt like he was growing up again, but he didn't feel nearly as happy as he had before.
The way Saizou and Ryuga met was actually one that was totally expected; Saizou had heard of a great treasure horde, and Ryuga was a dirty piratey dragon bro. In the end, Saizou snuck into the den of the Dragon of Iyokono, but was caught in the midst of the theft by the student of the Saint and resulted in a battle between the two. Although Saizou was fast by nature, Ryuga was a formidable foe to the very nature of a ninja; and even the fact that Saizou's specialty was strength hardly seemed to factor in, though if he had been just a bit weaker but faster he might have ended up as fodder beneath the dragon's feet. Instead their match ended in a draw when Saizou unleashed his fiercest attack, totaling a side of the cave...and burying a good portion of the treasure. As one would expect, the instincts of the Dragon kicked in, and Ryuga was quickly consumed with the need to unbury his treasure to make sure it wasn't harmed; Saizou, meanwhile, had learned better than to try and *#$% with a dragon in it's own home. Eventually after they had dug the treasure free, Ryuga demanded compensation, and Saizou out of obligation (and the promise of money, which he believed he'd get seeing the vast horde) joined the Iyokono. He has always regretted it.

::Akira, Tsuchi-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Master Agito Quote: Name: Akira Tsuchi Nicknames: Handsome Monkey King, Great Ape, Monkey Sage, Great Sage, Wandering Sage, The Great Handsome Wandering Monkey Sage. Age: 110 Appearance: Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] Rank Wandering Sagely Monk...Monk..Mon key HAHAHA Love Interest: Gambling Personality: Akira is a fool..to say the least. Despite the fact that he is always wearing his traditional Korean mask of "The Fool" from the Hahoe style of theater, his actions are what mostly portray him as one. He is often seen doing some sort of childish prank or telling a joke that only seemed to be funny to him. He often tells jokes then laughs hysterically before he even gives anyone a chance to really contemplate what he said. He has come across many nicknames in his years (mostly self-given) and introduces himself using one of them more times than not. He also has a very strong gambling problem, he gambles so compulsively that he usually doesn't even fully realize he's gambling until he's knee-deep in debt. Akira's gambling addiction comes in handy some times, as it usually the fuel for him to fight, usually betting a sacred item or other neat trinkets on the outcome of battles between he and an opponent. Despite his ridiculous appearance (including the fool's mask that is always on his face) and his usual actions, Akira does somewhat earn the title of 'wandering sage'. He is rarely seen around by his fellow demonic comrades as he goes on frequent journeys throughout the world. He has picked up a lot of wisdom and skills from said journeys (along with a lot of debt due to his gambling) and he uses this wisdom and his learned skills while in battle to make him an incredibly dangerous force to any opponent. Bio: Akira is a demon of the Tsuchi. Unlike most demons, the Tsuchi are more like a more specific type of elemental demon rather than a clan. They are born from sacred rocks that are only found in a certain part of the amazon and only five can be alive at a single time (when one dies, another is born). The tsuchi all take on primate-like forms even though they lack the agility that you would expect from a primate demon..because they are made of heavy a** rocks..and eventually pick up a human form to blend into society. Another special thing about them is that, even though they are earth elementals, their only real weakness is earth. This causes all Tsuchi to grow weary of one another as they all pretty much can kill the other whenever they chose. So, upon being born, the Tsuchi usually leave on their own in order to be safe from the others. Akira, however, seemed to be a lucky one, after 20 years of life, he came across a special staff in a card game. He was playing against an explorer who had found the staff encased in a block of ice high in the himalayas. Intrigued by power Akira felt throbbing from the ice, he bet the man some of his riches, he had plenty, due to him being a demon who was alive for 20 years and pretty much being able to take whatever he wanted without anyone stopping him. Akira won the bet and took the ice. It turned out that the staff had belonged to some monkey or something but all Akira cared about was that it freed him from his weakness to his own element. This was like superman finding a cure for kryptonite, Akira felt untouchable and yada yada yada. Akira, upon his travels, came across Lord Ryuga. Having heard of his feats with his fan, Akira became intrigued with it's power. So, being the gambling man he is, Akira placed a wager, if he won, the fan was his..but if he lost, he would serve Ryuga...needless to say..Akira didn't get the fan.

::Stein Kiyomasa-Iyokono (Member of the Iyokono Demon Clan):: Quote: Gaia Avatar: -- Gaia Name: Eagla blah blah (Myth) Quote: Name: Stein Kiyomasa Nicknames: Doctor, Mad, Stein Age: Ageless now. Appearance: Clan: Iyokono-Chosokabe [Main] (Kiyomasa) Rank (Rankless) Love Interest: N/A Personality: Even before his rebirth stein was a mad man, always reveling in the joy from performing his 'experiments', an endless supply of subjects being the main perk of his former job, it actually seemed as if that was his only way to be happy... well that and torturing his student, Senji Kiyomasa. However, since his rebirth Stein has found new pleasures it's almost like dieing has given him a new outlook on life, though what that outlook is and how he will act now is a mystery to all but himself. Bio: Before his self inflicted death, stein was the Kiyomasa clans best hitman. He worked directly under the Kiyomasa clan head, and was often called the leaders own personal grim reaper (a title gained both from his job, and his weapon). Despite not being a true member of the Kiyomasa clan himself, he was among the highest ranked of their officers and was the most feared. It was at the height of his life amongst the spiders that he took Senji to be his apprentice, torturing and teaching the young Kiyomasa assassin. It was during his training that Stein debated whether or not his current test subjects were truly sufficient for his great experiments... and then he promptly experimented on his self. Suffice it to say, he promtply died after removing his heart and examining it for a moment. A few hundred years later, his flunky of a student got some sacrifice thing for killing people and brought him back. He soon discovered that his student was the new head of the Kiyomasa clan, and realized it would be terrible to return, so he sought out the Iyonaka clan, joining with them instead.x Quote: Organizational DataColor: Green Arcana: Heirophant Demon Type: Spider Weapon-type: Scythe Body Part: Arm Fighting Style: Ailment User Quote: [Demon] FormPhysical Appearance when Transformed True Demon Form Elemental Affinities: (2 Strong, 1 Weak) Physical: StrongFire: NoneIce: WeakElec: NoneWind: NoneWater: NoneEarth: NoneLight: NoneDark: Strong Skills: (4 Medium, 3 High, 1 Very High) 1.

(High Almighty damage, 'binds' target causing any RNG effects to automatically happen (barring instant death)) -Corpse Conversion: Since his rebirth, Stein has been steadily emitting a strange aura of insanity most likely due to his conversion to a living corpse.
