Takeru      Chien is hot passionate and fiery when it comes to fights. He expects the best they can give from his warriors and their sacrifice to do as needed for others to be protected and survive. That does not mean that their lives are worthless. It means that their lives are worth more and it will cost dearly to take them.
Chien will take his host from the beginning. Toshiro will have to fight him to earn his respect as anything other than a warrior to be used to serve his will. Once that is proven, then Chien will give him the respect that he deserves and allow him more lassitude for a short while at least. It will become an all-out war in both mind and actions between Chien and Toshi. Chien-Tang will have to prove his worth to Toshiro Hijikata also before he will accept the dragon-king but once he does, the loyalty is there. Both are true warriors and they want and deserve nothing but the best from each other. This will eventually bring them together in their purpose and Chien-Tang will keep a portion of Toshiro other than his war memories when he understands the man more.
Chien-Tang is particularly interested in the Oniwanjin who were on Earth. He thinks if they have the power that he has found in Toshiro, then they would make very good commanders for the soldiers. He will eventually look into that and wherever he can find soldiers capable of doing what he wants done and showing the honor and respect that is needed.
Chien-Tang has an army to build to protect the Twin Crown and he plans to do it as soon as possible. With Harmodius in control, he is soothed and more peaceful, building an army for the protection of everything. With Destruction, he is far more warlike and hot for fighting. Either way does not matter to him as he serves and loves them both. I suppose the best way to describe this is samurai. There are times of peace where they practice their swordskills and protect the people, but when in war, they are focused and deadly refusing to back down.
He is a fighter thru and thru, passionate and determined. He can have a bad temper when others sit around and do nothing. There is always things that can be done if one just looks. He cares about what happens to even the smallest but knows that sometimes eggs get broken to make a cake. He simply tries to prevent as much damage as possible.
He might have to be made to back off from time to time though. He is of the opinion that the gods faded from disbelief more than other things. He would want to conquer other worlds and bring them under the gods' control and especially that of the Twin Crown because if mortals see the gods all the time, and it is blatantly in their faces, how can they disbelieve in them again? Probably have to reign in his forcefulness from time to time with his dragon brothers or even Harmodius. I'm sure Destruction would have no problems with it, but... yeah.... XD
Likes: Loyalty, pushing to be the best one can be, music, soldiers who question within reason because it proves they are thinking and not just following.
Dislikes: Letting anyone too close because they become a weakness for him, traitors, betrayal, those who constantly question his orders like an irritating gnat.
Things that Chien-Tang will do eventually,
1. He will want to find more Oniwanjin and see if he can use them as soldiers.
2. He will want to build an army, soldiers to start rebuilding the world the Pantheon is on. He may even want to try to conquer and bring under Harmodius' control some of the other worlds to strengthen them all.
3. He would want an action plan in place for an attack so that those needed to be protected are and those who need to do the protecting know what they are supposed to do.
4. More to come... He's not one to remain idle when there are preparations to make.
Quote: Claws of the Shogun - Chien Tang can inspire a bloodlust/berserker state in a small group of soldiers Teeth of the Crown - Chien Tang has jaws like a shark- he can, every so often, pull out a handful of fangs and can bury them in the ground. From each tooth he can grow lesser dragon soldiers. Dragons created in this was will listen implicitly to any dragon king or to the crown, but are otherwise highly primitive, simple and savage creatures. They are flightless, wingless, and with only one use of a breath weapon of random sort. They are permanent creatures, but their lives are short- they live only decades if not killed in battle. Minor DuelMuch like how we see samurai films with people strangely pairing off to fight one-on-one, this power is a manifestation of the personal duels between warriors of like standing- in Chien Tang's case that of a commander calling out to another commander in challenge. Chien Tang can choose to declare a duel with an enemy. This magic acts like a compulsion, making other potential opponents back off and drawing his intended's focus forward to him and no other. By 'Minor' this magic is limited in how strong the compulsion of focus is- it works infallibly against mortals, but against ageless beings and greater it slowly loses effectiveness until it becomes just words of obvious challenge that a Deity stage could choose to ignore if they wished.
________________________________________  Toshiro Hijikata, The Host
In Plato’s dialogues of Timaeus and Critias, Critias refers to the island of Atlantis existing with a set group of kings of great and marvelous power. He further takes the opportunity to describe Atlantis in detail as an allegedly historical account of the society contained therein. Critias goes on to show how the society of Athens seemed to be perfect while Atlantis was the antithesis of that. Poseidon was bequeathed the island of Atlantis when the land was divided so that each god had a portion. Afterwards, Atlantis sank by an earthquake. Suppose that there was more than was being told. What if Critias had been to Atlantis? What if he had been the only surviving citizen of such an imperfect society as rumored to live on that island on Earth? Critias has had many names throughout the history of Earth. He was known as Critias during the years he spent time in Athens. Each time he has settled for a few years, he later moves on to prevent others from understanding who and what he is. He is an immortal warrior who tried to save his island home, but in the end, survived long after it had sunk to the bottom of the sea. As he journeyed from Athens to his estate on the outskirts of Khalkis where he was killed or so everyone who knew him thought. Critias faked his death, then moved on with a few belongings that were precious to him. In time he became known as many names. Philo, a philosophical warrior who spoke of the island to his men as he led them to protecting what they loved. He did not want to see the mistakes of Atlantis repeated. Over his left shoulder, Takeru has this tattoo. Dragon At the back, protecting the dragon's tail rises a phoenix. Phoenix The meaning behind the tattoos are simple. He was once called the Emperor's Dragon and was a personal bodyguard to the young emperor for awhile. And the phoenix is about his longeivity and given to him by a princess. In the phoenix is hidden a cherry blossom.
Current time for Critias………..
Current Name: Toshiro Hijikata Age: 27 Race: Oniwanjin of Atlantis Oniwanjin name: ‘Riro Hakuouki’ which means “fleeting sakura blossom” Description: Personality: He has a very strong point of view. His honor is all to him. He is a samurai who upholds the beliefs of his class. He is not beyond questioning those in charge though. He is cold and calculating in battle and equally skilled and prideful. It is perhaps that pride that gets him into trouble because he refuses to show his emotions rather keeping others at a distance. This should be considered a flaw as he does not rely on people as he should taking it all on his shoulders. This gives him the reputation of being disagreeable, rigid, stubborn, and icy. In truth he is passionate, caring, and devoted to those he cares about. He doesn’t know how to fail and when he does, it is devastating to him. But he is beyond loyal to those deserving of it. History: Toshiro is nearly the last of his kind, a samurai who firmly believes in the blade and the honor that comes with it. He comes from Earth but not from when the Japanese emperors and samurai shoguns ruled Japan. Toshiro Hijikata comes from Atlantis. His real name is Critias. The reasons Atlantis fell are harsh to him and though he speaks of the island’s beauty and warns of downfall as Atlantis caved to, he tries to help others not repeat their mistakes. In the end, even though he tried to save Atlantis, he took the power of the crystal unto himself letting the last island crumble beneath the waves. It was all that he could do to prevent others from using that power indiscriminately. This power once absorbed changed him, making him an immortal and stabilizing his Oniwanjin blood further. Eventually after wandering for centuries, he found Japan. It was an infant when he came upon it in 135 AD. He fell in love with the way of these warrior people, himself eventually becoming a samurai. Given his longevity, Critias wandered all over the Japanese islands hiding who he was. At times he dyed his hair to change his appearance or even faked his death. He had been known by many names, but most called him Oniwanjin, or demon because of his ability to fight as no others can. It really comes down to a matter of will and the time he has been alive. The power he absorbed faded away a long time ago other than his preternatural movement as an oni and the power of that which is limited by sunshine. This name offended the demons, one prince in particular. As this prince fought him, he began to understand that Critias was in truth descended from their race of Oni. Toshiro defeated him and earned his place amongst them, an honor rarely if ever given for those of mixed blood. They call him ‘Riro Hakuouki’ which means “fleeting pale sakura blossom” because it is the opposite of what he truly is. Toshiro does not like being caught between the wars that occasionally happen between the demons and humans. He seldom tells anyone of his demon blood as he can pass for fully human most of the time. But none seem to care as he never stays anywhere more than a few years before disappearing or faking his death. At night when the moonlight shines, his hair turns white and his eyes red, revealing his demon heritage. There are areas on his world that cause him problems during the day. Intense desert areas where the sun is strongest cause him to lose some of his strength. The heat and light is hard on his body and it is like moving thru quicksand to even walk. Toshiro avoids those areas and the hottest of days. Toshiro has fought his way to the Pantheon, but understands little of what is truly going on with the people. He feels the peace and is enjoying it, but remains more apart from them and ever alert. He knows of the collapse of the universe and the worlds that have crumbled away by rumors that pass freely around the marketplace. He is not quite certain what to make of it. Once fused, Toshiro understands that he will have to fight to leave anything other than the war memories within the Great Chien-Tang, the General dragon king. This is a list of the year, the place, and the name used by Critias over the centuries. The rest is simply unknown. There is no proof that these people are one man, but there is no proof that they are not either. Critias only appeared to influence things every hundred years or so.

The Rooms of the Blood Shogun
 Think Japanese style house and gardens, all zenified. ((Is that even a word? lol )) Anyhow, everything would be tastefully done in Chien Tang's colors. His door is red with a bit of gold and black iron. His throneroom would be tastefully decorated and sparse. His bedroom is at the back half of the rooms and there will be an opening to the sky later so that he can fly out if he wishes. His room does have a collection of weapons and fans. They are Toshiro's and will be respected. I'll add images of them to the items area later or even here. Still working on the gardens but assume japanese gardens with various things going on. The lake/pond does have koi in it of all shapes, sizes, and colors as well as lily pads scattered around. The Mountaintop The mountaintop is not that far from the Pantheon. It is not far from the ocean either as there is a need for salt water amongst the Oniwanjin. He has tried to accommodate all of those left behind. For more information on the Oniwanjin, go here . There are more details on the race themselves than you will find here in Takeru's journal. The Mountaintop rises above the area below on sheer cliffs that make it virtually impregnable by normal means. 1000 steps go straight up to the gate at the top. A tower on each side with high walls greets anyone coming up this direction. There are also several towers along the way up as an early warning system. The stairs are used not only for protection, but also for training. Initiates must run climb the stairs and then run them daily to prove their worth to be trained here. The mountain itself be a challenge to the students worthy enough to live there. A second set of stairs leads down into the mountain itself. At the bottom is a freshwater pool below a waterfall. On the other side of the great cavern is a saltwater pool that rises up from a tunnel that connects to the ocean itself. Various traps, luminescent lifeforms greet any who try to enter from that direction also. The cavern is home to the Moura and other Oniwanjin who need the saltwater to survive. There is also an elevator that rises upwards in perpetual motion. Various clans live in the front near the gate. Buildings there are homes to one with common meeting places in the central for peaceful interactions. At the back of the area on the right rise high cliffs which are home to those who prefer the heights. The Fenghuang clan governed by Hitomi and Hito live there. To the left is a large open space for Takeru when in dragon form. Or another who comes to visit. At the center back is Takeru's home, similar to what is in his rooms at the pantheon only far larger. Haruki, Moxie, Kaza, Hitomi, Ichiro, and their families live directly with Takeru. Training grounds are scattered about, whether in water, in air, or on land. Each clanhold has their own space for training also. There is also a section of forest to accommodate those who prefer the green woods to live within. The Kirijin make it their home. The one unique and notable thing about the Mountaintop are the orchids. They were transplanted from Earth, only grow in a pure source of lifewater and at great height. The salve made from these blossoms is one of the purest healing salves found. Takeru protects them zealously and so do the rest of the Oniwanjin.

:: Referenced Places :: Earth The Oniwanjin came from Earth. Avalon, Atlantis, Japan, and various other places have been used but changed to a more suitable background for our purposes. Consider it an Alternate Earth Universe where things are not quite what they are IRL.
