YOU CAN DL GENJUU NO SEIZA HERE.

Um, hi, I guess.

Now that Atisha's in camp, there's something that psychic- and soul-sensing-types should probably take note of.

( Spoilers for GnS, but most people have probably guessed this by volume 6 or 7 already. )

[There is a teenage Holy King wandering around the outskirts of the woods, a puzzled expression on his face.]

TO BE CONTINUED...?

Discovered when I was flipping through earlier volumes for material to pimp for Sohki: ( minor spoilers. )

HAHAHAHA. HAHAHA. Ha. ... sob.

So, I really, really, really want someone to app Mayu (PSSSST). And despite the fact that only six volumes have been commercially released so far and her backstory doesn't get explained until volume eight, she's perfectly appable right now because she has amnesia and doesn't know her own past! But I know some people like to know their characters' pasts even when the character doesn't.

Thus, I made this post, which is my translation of Mayu's backstory from Volume 8 Chapter 3.

( NEEDLESS TO SAY, SPOILERS. )

This post contains SPOILERS about the identities about past and future Holy Kings and Shamans.

Okay, so here's the thing about Fuuto: he's famous. Not for being himself, mind you! But he's related to two people who are well-known in their respective fields, and he's the most recent reincarnation of a pretty powerful figure in the magical and spiritual world. Therefore, it's entirely possible that some characters in camp would be familiar with him some reason or another. If you think your character would be and want to play with this, I am totally down with that.

Here's how you might know of Fuuto:

1) Kamishina Kento, World-Famous Photographer: AKA Fuuto's dad. His picture of a young Tibetan nomad girl catapulted him into international fame. At least amongst the photography and National Geographic crowd. These days, most people know his name due to the media sensation surrounding his disappearance somewhere in Central Asia a few years back.

2) Kamishina Takako, Yakuza Boss Extraordinaire: AKA Fuuto's grandmother. A older woman with a sharp tongue and an iron fist, she's a well-known figure in the Japanese underworld. Fuuto's last name alone is enough to give him safe passage into most yakuza dens. The yakuza refer to him as "Kamishina the Third," much to his horror.

3) The Holy King of Dhalashar: Characters who have a stake in the magical side of Earth, or those who are interested in Central Asian/Middle Eastern folklore would have probably heard of the Holy King. Successive reincarnations of the King have been ruling Dhalashar for at least a thousand years. As Dhalashar is not just an oasis for lost travelers, but also exiled gods and other spirits, it's a rather important place. The Holy King has also been known to mediate spiritual disputes. For this reason, the Holy King enjoys a certain amount of respect from most magical beings: for example, even Count D refers to him as "Your Holiness" and gives him a slight bow.

That's about the extent of the information most magical beings would know about Dhalashar and the Holy King, but as we have several characters in camp who might have actually met one of Fuuto's previous incarnations, I have a more in-depth post here. It contains some SPOILERS on the identities of previous Holy Kings and their Shamans, but I tried to keep it as spoiler-free as possible.

Name: Kamishina Fuuto
Series: Genju no Seiza
Age: 15

Canon: The tiny kingdom of Dhalashar is located in a beautiful oasis along the Silk Road. It's a paradise for lost travelers, displaced deities, and religious disciples of all sorts. For centuries, it has been ruled by continuous reincarnations of the Holy King. It's the Holy King's duty to pray for lost souls and assist them on their journey through the Wheel of Life. His current incarnation is a fifteen year old boy named Atisha. But this story isn't about Atisha. It's about Fuuto, a Japanese teenager who couldn't care less about semi-mythical oasis kingdoms, until a talking bird flies in to tell him that, so sorry, but there seems to have been a mistake and it's FUUTO who's the REAL Holy King. Oops. Suddenly, Fuuto finds himself developing all sorts of weird godmode spiritual powers, accidentally reading people's minds, performing impromptu exorcisms, slipping through time, AND trying not to be killed by the assassins sent by the supporters of Atisha.

Fuuto, despite his life-long flirtation with weirdness (he's had to move more than once due to neighbors gossiping about his ability to see ghosts), wants nothing more than to be an average teenager. His reaction to finding out that he's the Holy King is less a valiant acceptance of his duty and more "la-la-la I can't hear you." He's loud, abrasive, and frequently speaks without thinking -- often with violent and/or embarrassing consequences. Despite this, though, he's loathe to leave a person in trouble, be they live, dead, or not even human. He'll exorcise restless spirits, save despairing office workers from suicide attempts, and Jesus demons into stopping their murderous rampages. Of course, he'll also bitch endlessly about it in the process.

Sample Post:

"I'm so sorry, but it seems that my karma has run over your dogma."

I mean, what the hell kind of opening line is that, anyway?! What kind of idiot follows a person who shows up at their doorstep saying something like that? Oh. Wait. I know this one. Me. You'd think by now I'd have realized that anyone who talks about karma as anything other than suffering is selling something. Or, you know, trying to kill me. That last one's been pretty popular recently.

This is definitely the most creative "let's kill Fuuto" setup I've ever seen, though. But fine. Whatever. You want karma? I'll give you karma. Let's get this over with. Stop me if you've heard this one, and all that crap.

You're walking around one day, doing your normal thing, when suddenly you stop and a realize that something's different. Maybe you caught a glimpse of yourself in the outside window the convenience store you bought your lunch from. And, hey. Your skin's a little grayer than you remember. There's a looseness to it that you can't really blame on age. And let's not forget the fact that you just tried to order a sub sandwich without mayonnaise and with extra brains. Sound familiar? It should. 'Cause, dude, I'm talking about you.

Congratulations. You're a frickin' zombie. Give yourself a hand-- okay, wait, no, that was my bad. Don't give yourself a hand. Like, seriously, don't. Two is enough.

My point is, you Dawn of the Dead rejects, that you can't keep shuffling around and rotting forever. Your own personal wheel of life needs to keep turning. And wouldn't you much rather have a nice, shiny, living body of your very own, even if it might be a protozoan? I mean, I don't really have much experience with zombies, but you're like any other lost soul, right? If you've got unfinished business, you've just gotta finish it and find the right way to move on. There's no shame in that, even if you gotta ask for help. I mean, there was this one pervy otaku ghost in Akihabara who didn't wanna move on until he learned that he might be able to be reborn as a tentacle monster in his next life... and... uh...

...

... he's apparently waving at me from the lake! Okay! That was a really unexpectedly apt example that I don't want to examine any further!

So close whatever's left of your eyes and focus on your inner light. Imagine it projecting upwards, like some weird kind of alien abduction. That's it. You're almost there. It's all peaceful now. There's no toucans singing the song that never ends. You can move on. Leave it all behind.

--don't leave your behind behind! Jeez, gross, rotting zombie ass everywhere!
