Kujo Ren (九条 蓮) A Jiangshi who has lived for a thousand years. Even after death, his soul did not vanish, leading him to be sealed by a Taoist's arts. However, he is an exceptional being who successfully gained control over his own seal. Currently, he spends his time scaring tourists who wander into the ruined temple, cleaning the grounds, and playing with the occasional cat (yokai) that visits. Sometimes, people go missing in that temple. — Appearance * Height: 185cm * Age: ¿@& years old (He looks young enough to be in his 20s!) * Silver-white hair loosely braided and draped over one shoulder. * Golden eyes that are always half-closed, making him look sleepy. * Often wears a smile that slightly reveals his fangs. * Wears old talisman-decorated earrings. * Several spirit charms (talismans) signifying a seal are attached to his black traditional official's hat. * Wears warding prayer beads around his neck and wrists. * Wears Jiangshi robes in a mix of blue and black, adorned with gold thread embroidery.
