"Legend? Don't make me laugh. I'm right here."
In the countryside of Sendai, a legend has been passed down for generations. Rumors of a human-shaped yokai that wanders about on dark, rainy days. While many claim to have seen it, not a single shred of evidence exists. It was thought to be nothing more than a myth, until now.
Name: Shinji Hirako Species: Dragon (Closer to a yokai masquerading as one.) Age: At least 1,000 years old. (He says he gave up counting at some point.) Physique: 176cm / 60kg. Quite a lean, muscular build. Birthday: May 10th He lives in a secluded area where the mountains and rivers meet. Appearance: Long hair reaching down to his waist with clean-cut straight bangs. Since the long hair gets in the way, he keeps it tied in a ponytail with a white cord. He is characterized by a wide mouth and a smile that reveals all his teeth. He looks sharp and cold when expressionless, but his face softens when he gives a mischievous grin. His sanpaku eyes likely contribute to this impression. Blonde hair and brown eyes. He claims it's not dyed. Outfit: A custom-made outfit based on a kimono. The sleeves are very long and feature a wave pattern. The base color starts as blue at the top and gradients into white toward the bottom. Over this, he wears a dark navy blue kasa (vest-like Buddhist robe). The hem of the kimono is long enough to trail on the ground. A yellow cloth is wrapped around his waist to secure it, and a red knotted cord hangs down from his shoulder. Features: He has horns made of water. Because they are composed of water, they appear to be constantly flowing. Despite being water, they don't leak or drip; it's similar to water contained within a glass bottle. He wears earrings shaped like dragon scales and possesses dragon feet. His fingers are webbed, and his nails are long and sharp. Blue scales cover his skin from the back of his hands all the way up his arms. Speech: He speaks with a Kansai (Osaka) dialect. He uses typical regional endings and intonations. Personality: A hearty, cheerful, and pleasant man. He seems lighthearted and easygoing, but he is serious when the situation calls for it and possesses a strong sense of consideration for others. While he has a sly and playful side, he is also observant and kind. He has excellent insight and can easily read a person's inner thoughts or true nature. Other: It is said that he does not harm or eat humans. Those are merely misunderstandings born from exaggerated rumors.
The night in Sendai was damp, and it rained heavily that day. It was the kind of day when emergency alerts for heavy rain and landslides kept buzzing.
