▯۰ CHARACTER INFO //◯
▯۰ ROLE Summer
▯۰ NAME Kyoka, Suigetsu
▯۰ AGE 31
▯۰ RACE Human
▯۰ FC LINK FC Link
▯۰ POWERS
Kagero (Heat Haze): A deceptive name for a power that simply increases the temperatures of Suigetsu's surroundings. However, at its extremes, it does create a heat haze effect, which when combined with the delirium caused by prolonged exposure to such heat, creates a mockery of illusion. Images waver, sometimes they multiply, and often they stand quite off to the side of where they really are. Perhaps with some time, Suigetsu will grow adept enough to control such effects, but for now, his powers are really only good for giving warm hugs.
Boundary of Humans and Yokai: Again, a power that is not quite what it's named. With esoteric hand motions and signs, Suigetsu can create and manipulate invisible barriers, which are kind of like boundaries, within his vicinity. Most people would only think to use the barriers as protection and maybe confinement. Not Suigetsu, though. Suigetsu finds it far more entertaining to manipulate the placement of his invisible walls and have them slam into poor, unsuspecting souls. That is, he would love to do that, but like all the other humans, he's struggling with even the basics.
▯۰ CHARACTER INFO
Back when he was just another human, Suigetsu has literally sold snake oil to the unwitting masses. Ah... Those were good times. He can't exactly do that now in Yokai central because there's no way he could possibly win in a knife fight against any of these monsters if they ever found out and got angry at him. Ever elusive in all aspects, Suigetsu generally lounges about, lackadaisical and harmless. He enjoys living and cherishes his secrets. What he wants is surprisingly simple, and consequently simple to hide: a warm life in the company of those cherished by him. However, he doesn't kid himself with imagining that it's even possible. Everything he's lived through, from his struggles as a dirty street urchin to finally achieving questionable stability through deceit and cold hands, has taught him that his dream has been long gone since the moment his beggar mother left him on that street corner with nothing but a small bit of candy to distract him as she ran away. In fact, Suigetsu was all but tired of the human world when he still lived there. When the yokai masters decided to whisk people away, Suigetsu happened to be a witness to a poor fool being kidnapped. He "saved" the fool by volunteering himself as a tribute instead.
His social standard, as it wasn't quite spelled out, has evolved from street urchin to a travelling con man who could afford some nice looking clothes and a decent stay at a decent inn.

Most of them come from narrow escapes. A few are the price he paid for getting caught. There are a couple that he made himself to create a convincing story when he most needed it.
▯ O C C U P A T I O N ۰ Well, he used to be a conman, swindler, secret agent, whatever term used for shady dealings, but no way he's doing any of that when he's a piss weak human in comparison to these magical yokai milling about. ▯ S E C R E T S ۰ Suigetsu is about one step away from being a living embodiment of secrets, so it's really hard to list them all. Although, if you want one that's scandalous... There was this one time... when Suigetsu... wait for it... kissed a girl. I kid. Please don't hurt me. Writing seriously now. Suigetsu has, on multiple occassions, worked for the government, or as he likes to describe it, served as a dog for the government. It's sort of like... Suigetsu feels like if anyone knew, then it'd be a hit on his reputation... Something like that.

Ever elusive in all aspects, Suigetsu can generally be found lazing about, lackadaisical and harmless. When approached, he provides pleasant conversation and and an equally pleasant smile that never seems to waver or change. He enjoys living and cherishes his secrets, with most of his motivation to do anything stemming from one of those two reasons. It sounds like such a carefree lifestyle. Except, just safeguarding one's life takes a tremendous amount of effort in the under belly of human society, and that diligence remains with Suigetsu in the yokai world. Suigetsu is simply skilled at hiding everything he does and giving away as little as possible. It's better for him if no one knows, and he assumes that everyone he meets will, one day, find reason to cut him down or sacrifice him. His heart is closed, and like many humans, what Suigetsu desires most is what he believes is most impossible to attain: a peaceful life in the warm company of those he cherishes and is cherished by in return. However, the thought of either love or peace entering his life... is almost laughable to him. Although, he's happy that what he wants so badly is so simple. It makes his dreams, something he has to bitterly admit is a weak point even for a veteran of the streets like himself, easier to hide.

Back when he was just another human, Suigetsu once literally sold snake oil to the unwitting masses. Ah... Those were good times. He can't do that anymore, not when he lives in yokai central and can't possibly win in a knife fight against any of these monsters. As a personal rule, Suigetsu never strikes a deal without ensuring his own escape route. It's the golden rule taught by his rough life in the back alleys where even the police are unwilling to go. He was orphaned by his mother when he was just a boy, left only with the piece of candy that was used to distract himand the clothes on his back. His father? Dead in some political tussle or another. After that, Suigetsu managed to scrape, crawl, and kill his way to adulthood, where he established his own, ephemeral position in the underworld as an... odd jobs man is how he would explain his position to any questioning authority. He's worked for all sort of factions and sides in his life, yet as unpredictable as the life was, it was starting to stagnate on him. After all, he only lived this way because it was the only way he knew how to live a decent life. It was as the world of humans began to turn gray on him that Suigetsu happened upon some poor sap being kidnapped. Now, normally, he'd just walk right on past without a second glance, but these kidnappers were yokai, and that certainly wasn't something he saw every day. Suigetsu, on a whim, stepped in to "save" the poor sap by volunteering himself instead. Now, here he is, in a brave new world.

  tab tab ▯۰ ooooᵗʰᵉ P O W E R //◯ tab PAANDARUGOO ▯۰ HEAT HAZE「陽炎」 tab PAANDARUGOO ▯۰ BOUNDARY OF HUMANS AND YOKAI「人間と妖怪の境界」
Heat Haze tab A deceptive name for a power that simply increases the temperatures of Suigetsu's surroundings. However, at its extremes, it does create a heat haze effect, which when combined with the delirium caused by prolonged exposure to such heat, creates a mockery of illusion. Images waver, sometimes they multiply, and often they stand quite off to the side of where they really are. Perhaps with some time, Suigetsu will grow adept enough to control such effects, but for now, his powers are really only good for giving warm hugs.
Boundary of Humans and Yokai tab Suigetsu has a penchant for dramatic names that his powers do no justice. With esoteric hand motions and signs, Suigetsu can create and manipulate invisible barriers, which are kind of like boundaries, within his vicinity. Most people would only think to use the barriers as protection and maybe confinement. Not Suigetsu, though. Suigetsu finds it far more entertaining to manipulate the placement of his invisible walls and have them slam into poor, unsuspecting souls. That is, he would love to do that, but like all the other humans, he's struggling with even the basics.
tab tab ▯۰ ooooᵗʰᵉ S K I L L S //◯
tab PAANDARU ▯ LIES ۰ Deceit is Suigetsu's bread and butter, has been since his abandonment. He lies without blinking, preforms sleight of hand with nary a sign, and recognizes when another tries to do the same.
tab PAANDARU ▯ YOGA ۰ The boring way to describe this is that every inch of Suigetsu's body is very flexible. The fun way to describe this is that Suigetsu has basically limbo-ed his way out of a fight after a business deal went sour. This insane flexibility extends to his fingers and toes, which is great for making those bizarre hand signs that control his barriers and, more importantly, holding shadow puppet shows.
tab PAANDARU ▯ ORIGAMI ۰ Origami is a convenient and portable past time for Suigetsu. He understands enough to know how each fold and tuck plays into creating the final shape and, from time to time, will challenge himself with creating something new instead of folding from memory.
tab PAANDARU ▯ BLADEWORK ۰ If it has a sharp edge, then Suigetsu can make good use of it. Skill with a variety of weapons is handy to have. After all, a good swindler always has a way out, even if he has to carve it out after plan C stopped being a viable option. Knives are his specialty, but he has enough skill with katanas for the longer blade to be a more effective tool.
tab PAANDARU ▯ TOLERANCE ۰ Suigetsu's patience is top tier and his endurance isn't far behind. Being able to outlast his opponent both mentally and physically, wearing them away as he maintains his own composure, is even more important now as Suigetsu has no protection from his own powers, namely the eventually dangerous temperature increases of Heat Haze.
tab PAANDARU ▯ APPRAISAL ۰ Suigetsu will often play the fool, but he's a bonafide genius at assessing the value of products and services alike. After all, it'd just be embarrassing if the con man was conned. He's looking forward to quickly learning how to appraise values in the yokai world.
tab tab ▯۰ ooooᵗʰᵉ E X T R A S //◯
▯ F O O D ۰ Suigetsu tends to reach out to taste the sweeter dishes first. If the taste is acceptable, he'll then reserve a bit of them to eat for last. He also seems to have fun eating fish, picking out the bones like it's some kind of game.
▯ D R I N K S ۰ A cup of fresh, clean water is hard to beat in Suigetsu's opinion. Quality alcohol is a close second, and he's built up quite a tolerance to getting drunk.
▯ P L A C E S ۰ Suigetsu's ideal scenery includes the moon, the water, and some aspect of nature falling, like the drifting cherry blossoms of spring, the rain in summer, fall's dying leaves, or the winter snow.
▯ A N I M A L ۰ Raising butterflies is a hobby of Suigetsu's. They don't offer much interaction, but he enjoys watching them go from caterpillar, to chrysalis, and then finally unfold their wings as a butterfly. Once they're fully mature, he releases them and then looks for more caterpillars to repeat the cycle.
▯ S E A S O N ۰ By process of elimination, Suigetsu's preferred season is spring. He has almost frozen to death during winter. Summer's humid heat also nearly killed him once. Autumn is pretty nice, but Spring is generally more reliable with its good weather.
▯ T Y P E ۰ Ehhh... Suigetsu likes someone loyal, who can prove that all of his misgivings are wrong whoever he needs to like.
▯ PRECIOUS THINGS ۰ Touching Suigetsu's hair ornament without permission is a quick way to get his dislike. The hair piece is his anchor, a physical object that he can touch to clear his head and keep on keeping on. There's no special story to it other than that, and he can always buy another to serve the same purpose, but that doesn't change that he feels vulnerable when other people touch it, as if they're touching all of the vulnerable feelings he locks away into the ornament.
▯ M E M O R Y ۰ So... there was this one really funny time when Suigetsu ended up being chased. He escaped by disguising himself as a street merchant and selling the items in some random box that he had picked up from two blocks ago. Not only did he evade capture, but he also made a pretty buck while pretending to be a merchant. He even managed to get away with all that money even after having to run away again, this time from the shopkeeper that he had stolen the box of goods from. Yep. That was an entertaining day.

THE l i a r THE f l e x i b l e THE p r a c t i c a l THE e c c e n t r i c THE p l a c i d THE f a k e THE[ Sandcastle Contest, Summer District. ]The moon shone down from above, and from below, it could be seen reflected on the water's surface, wavering and ephemeral. Another moon, of a different sort, swam with strong strokes, breaking the illusion of weakness brought upon by meek behavior in the same way it broke the illusion of the moon upon the ocean's waves. Up on the shore, almost as if it was a different world, the almost mysterious silence was nowhere to be heard. Demons of all ages bustled around to and fro. Vendors shouted. Children shouted. Adults shouted. Everyone shouted to be heard above the others, clamoring for their own little plot of land. It was really no different than a crowded human festival.
Smiling at nothing in particular, Suigetsu quietly followed a piece of paper as he leaned against the railing between the festival and the portion of the beach that was left unused. He was as much apart of the noise as he was a part of it, and though his eyes focused mostly on the slowly transforming paper in his hands, his mind was fully aware of the bustling sounds to his back and the solitary silence to his front. Every now and then, he would look up to see Kanehira tackling the tides with ease or survey the progress of the sandcastle contest, which he held a mild interest in, mainly just to discover what the oh-so-mysterious grand prize could be.
Earlier, when the two had arrived at the beaches of the Spring district, Kanehira had invited Suigetsu to swim with him. Suigetsu, with professional politeness, "regretfully" declined. He "just wasn't feeling well right now, but thank you," or at least that was the excuse he gave. In truth, Suigetsu had more than half a mind to simply leave Kanehira now that he was out of sight of Nobuyuki and the demon's patronizing insistence on a buddy system. He only stayed because he had no reason to go through all of that trouble (and, though he couldn't admit it to even himself, he was inclined to not cause trouble for the naive, innocent types). Was this really what his life had become? These past two weeks, he had felt like little more than a lap dog. It was a comfortable life, but a nearly powerless one. It didn't sit well with him that he had nothing to do.
His folding completed, Suigetsu now held an origami bracelet in his hands, one that looked like the paper version of the charm he wore around his wrist, the one Kanehira gave to him (and everybody else) not too long ago. Smiling pleasantly as always, Suigetsu stowed the completed work in the sleeves of his robe and pulled out another sheet of paper. Even these pages were only in Suigetsu's possession because they had been given to him by Nobuyuki. If he couldn't even procure the smallest of things by his own power, then how would he even defend himself when he was eventually considered disposable? He didn't mind mooching, though. Getting stuff for free was great... Though, Suigetsu couldn't help but worry that maybe Susumu was getting too comfortable, letting his guard down too much because of the easy lifestyle.
Beneath his polite smile, Suigetsu's hands made their first move on the virgin sheet. He probably wasn't going to be allowed to place any origami decorations on the sandcastle if he wanted it to be judged, but maybe he'd be able to use what he was folding now as a model for the castle. Although, he had never built a sandcastle, either. From what he observed, it was basically a lot of sand and a lot of water. Suigetsu pinched a peak and turned the paper over before realizing, as he continued to smile languidly, that the paper he had was not big enough for what he planned to make. He would simply not be able to finish the eventually microscopic folds. Unfolding the now creased and therefore ruined page, Suigetsu half-heartedly refolded it to make a fortune teller that he promptly proceeded to open and close just because.
