36

Male

Japanese

PERSONAL DETAILS


DESCRIPTION:
One when thinks of a priest the image that jumps to your mind is more then likely that of an elderly man well passed his prime, yet he remains dignified, well dressed and has an air about him that bespeaks of years of experience as well as wisdom.  Of course if you picture this you couldn't get farther from Kaede in terms of looks alone. No, he is in fact a fairly young man, and his hair is in no way grey. In fact its a rich, almost warm brown that has more volume then most women and is often displayed to great effect.

And while he still displays a dignified air, he is obviously the short that can't or want take him self all that seriously. What with his darting inquisitive eyes, yet again a warm brown, ink stained fingers and almost constant smile... He looks like nothing more then an over grown school boy. At least on the surface. And while this child like look is sort of at odds with his masculine jawline, and five foot ten frame... It almost sort of fits.

As for clothing well, Kaede doesn't really have a set style out side of his work. Meaning that he can and often does wear just about anything you could think of when relaxing by him self or among others. Though when working(A word used loosely let me assure you) his attire is anything but what one could consider normal. No, in fact it is nearly as far from normal as one can get in the modern world seeing as it consists of wooden sandals, tabi socks, Shinto robes and beads. He strikes a rather odd sight walking down the road.  

PERSONALITY:
There are few people who can be summed up with one or two words, after all each and every human being is a complex individual and no single word could wrap up a personality so easily. But for Kaede it is a sort of simple complexity and as such one word can and does some up the some of his parts. That word being, friendly.

To Kaede each and every individual he meets is a future boon companion, and while he knows that he may be at odds with them for the time being... You never know what the future may hold! A one time enemy may become ones best friend, so long as you strive for it. This comes off as a tad odd in stress filled or action packed situations, seeing as he would apologize profusely for having to cause one harm. In fact, even as he rips out your soul with nothing more then his bare hands and a few shiny beads... He wont stop saying how genuinely sorry he truly is! But he won't let his own personal feelings get in the way of his mission, no matter how much it may hurt him on a personal level.

But whats more, he feels that it is his duty to teach those about him. It is his calling to bring enlightenment and understanding to any he may meet and baring that he wishes to bring them some sort of peace. Not for any reason other then that to be a good man one must care for his fellow man, after all to better another's life is to make the world a better place.

That brings us to yet another important detail. Kaede is for all intents and purposes a man seeking redemption, and to this end his goal is to rid the world of corruption... But knowing that as a whole that is beyond him he has taken on a personal crusade. In his mind, the powers of ritualism are mans to command... But some of those chosen to use them abuse their power, to hold it over those that go with out instead of using their new found abilities for the betterment of man kind. It is these individuals and this type of corruption that Kaede has chosen to combat... Knowing that his small effort will have a profound impact on those about him. In the end, he seeks to teach the world that though communing and in the end mastering the spirits that dwell on the other side one may better not only them selves but the world as a whole.

DEMON PERSONALITY:
People say that homes have a personality, some are whimsical, some are eerie but no matter what... They are home. They embody safety for most, and ie-no-kami embodies this simple feeling. It is the spirit of the much loved home, and it offers a blanket of protection to any who would seek it out. How could it not? Those with out homes are sorry individuals and it is its simple joy and pleasure to offer them peace and a safe place to rest their head. The tiny house god takes much joy in this, and while some would call it a demon it was not always so. Before the advent of Christianity it lived in the homes of loving families, and it remembers those times with fondness and can not wait tell once again it can over see and nurture growing human souls.

But as loving as it is, ie-no-kami is fiercely protective of all those who reside under its roof and with in its auspice. It is willing to face its own death and destruction in order to save those who it has watched and helped raise from harm. But whats more, it often takes on their cause and is willing to martyr its self for that cause when ever necessary. In the end ie-no-kami is a loving protector and calm guardian of its charges, living, loving, and dying with the homes it has protected. That is its nature, but it doesn't fear death, knowing that it can never truly die.

HISTORY:
A family is something you're born into not something you choose. This is a simple fact that some have a hard time coming to terms with, and none have had a harder time coming to terms with their family then Kaede. The boy even in child hood was a gentle soul, never one to fight nor lash out at those about him... And this proved to be something of a failing in a son of  a Yakuza crime lord. And while his family constantly tried to create another heir to the family name, in the end it failed.

Because of this Kaede was immersed in the life style from a very early age in the hopes that it would in some way harden the boy that loved to do nothing more then play with the animals that made his families garden home. And in a way it worked, at least for a time. When he was old enough he started to help run his fathers business, acting as his own personal enforcer and as such he gained a reputation as a young man that was not to be trifled with. And while every once in a while he was required to bust a few heads, he never really had to hurt anyone... At least not in any meaningful way. Or so he thought.

Just shortly after his twenty-first birthday Kaede was dispatched as he often was, to obtain a payment from a local business man who had just recently defaulted on what his father had called a loan. Suffice it to say the collection did not go as planned, and in the end the elderly gentleman Kaede had been sent to shake down ended up in the city morgue. In the end this was the wake up call that ended Kaede's self delusion. He finally saw that what he was doing and what his father was doing was nothing short of evil.

Suffice it to say he ran soon after that, taking what little he could he fled the city of his birth and to the one of the few places where his loving tendencies where allowed to flurish: The Izumo Taisha. It was there in one of the great Shinto shrines that he found his calling, which was that of a teacher and priest.  For the next nine years he trained and studied under the monks there and at a local university, learning what he needed to be successful in life, the life the he him self had chosen.

It was during this time that he was introduced to the mysteries that revolve around Inferis, and the stories he once thought where nothing but myth and legend turned out to be true in fact. And so along with his studies he was indoctrinated into a Brotherhood whos duty was to police the use of Ritualism, to seek out and punish those that abuse their power over others. This holy duty sang in Kaede soul, seeing it as a chance to make up for the deeds of his past and to atone for the lives he had ruined. And to this day, he and those like him seek out those that choose to abuse their gifts, and it is his duty to make sure that they are never able to do so again.

FACTION:
- The World

SKILLS:
Sensei: Kaede is a teacher. In fact he sees teaching as his calling and while he walks the path of the wondering priest he always takes time to slow down and share his knowledge with others. In short he is remarkably adapt at teaching other people skills. From martial arts and math too the rituals and skills needed to become a full blooded ritualist.

Sage of the Path of Man:

To understand the universe, first one must understand them selves and those about them.

This is the first lesson taught to those who seek the ability to transcend life and death. To master this, one must come to peace with who and what they are as well as have an ever growing understanding of those about them, but whats more they need to understand what one can achieve and what limits their body has. This involves martial training, as the warriors arts are often the best way to hone ones body to become something in which your soul can be proud.

Sage of the Path of Nature:

The world is a chaotic place, one filled with evil and conflict... But this is the nature of the world and it is up to us to find our own place in it.

This is the second lesson one must learn in order to transcend beyond the shackles of mortality. To do this one needs to watch the ebb and flow of the wold and allow it to speak to you, you must be able to pick see the pattern in the chaos but whats more one must be able to lose one self in nature yet retain who and what they are. A difficult prospect for sure, but one that Kaede has managed none the less.

Sage of the path of the Gods:

Within everyone is the possibility of divinity. But to find it one must be at peace with the world and its conflicting nature. One must be willing to learn and experience all things, but above all else one must be able to create.

The third lesson is one that most people fail to actualize, not understanding that to be part of this world they must be able to add to it in a meaningful way. To create great works with their hands and minds, to mold things in their image. For most this transform into hubris and pride. But for those that walk the path of the Sages, it is a humbling experience.

Sage of the Unknown Path:

There are something beyond mortal understanding, to understand this is to be truly wise.

The lesson of the final path is often times the hardest to understand. We as humans are nearly incapable at grasping it in fact, seeing how we think that given enough time all things will become clear. This is just not the case. Death and life both are beyond us, and while we can explain them away... As a race we can never understand. At least tell we come to have experienced both for them selves.  

DEMON SKILLS:
Home Is where the Hearts At: If inside a structure of somesort, Kaede and his bonded Kami know exactly how many living individuals reside with-in. If they draw closer to one their presence "heats" up and if they move away from one that presence "cools" down. But other then that they can't tell where any one person is. Of course, if there are many individuals in a building it becomes difficult to completely impossible to tell one from another and in such cases this skill only serves to make him more then a tad uncomfortable.

One mind a thousand thoughts: While possessed of the Kami of the Home, Kaede can think and do up too five separate tasks, allowing him to do complex math problems while sing the newest Jpop song as he fist fights a bear and go's over the lessons he will be teaching later that day.

The Spirit in the Hand: While communing with his Kami guide, Kaedes ability to create is enhanced. Tools sing in his hand, and paintbrushes seem to be alive. Any thing he creates with his hands while like this are better then they would otherwise be.


WEAKNESSES:
Soft-Hearted: Human life is precious to Kaede, so much so that he has difficulty executing, nay even contemplating the basic duty of the warrior cast: That is to say, he can not kill.

Ascetic: To Kaede, most material things hold little to no actual importance and as such he takes a minimalist approach to life in more then one way. This of course effects how others see him, and often leads to people who don't know him thinking that he is little more then a beggar while nothing could be farther from the truth.

Consumed: Kaede is obsessed with gaining more knowledge and understanding of all things, no matter what the cost. Anytime he has the opertunity to learn more about the worlds nature and how they interact with one another he is likely to drop what ever he is doing and focus instead on finding deeper meaning in this new found information.

Cursed by the Realm of Waiting(Meido): When not occupied by physical activity or social interaction, Kaede lapses into a trance like state in which he contemplates the path he walks on and the greater meaning of the world. While in this trance he is almost none responsive to the world outside him self, only waking when shocked by something.


COLOURS:
Kaede speaks Japanese(jade), Mandarin Chinese(Dodgerblue) and English fluently.

TRIVIA:

- Animals love him!
- Will not stand to see animals of any sort abused
- Oddly enough, he is not a vegetarian
- Donates all the money beyond what he needs to live to various charities
- Is the defending champion of the World Judo Championships under an assumed name.
