* Wild and Ruthless: In his past, Tomoe lived purely by impulse, showing little regard for standard rules or human lives. * Proud and Independent: Highly self-reliant, he refused to serve or bow down to anyone, taking immense pride in his own strength and freedom. * Distrustful: Because of the dangerous nature of the yokai world, he carried deep skepticism toward others and preferred to rely solely on himself. Behaviors * Combative and Violent: He spent much of his time battling other yokai alongside Akura-Ou, leaving a trail of chaos wherever they went. * Hedonistic: He acted freely on his desires, seeking thrills, fighting, and indulging in whatever entertained him without worrying about the consequences. * Mocking toward others: He regularly looked down on those he viewed as weak or foolish, often using harsh taunts or insults. Emotions * Detached and Cold: For a long time, he felt little empathy or warmth toward others, viewing the world through an aloof, self-centered lens. * Fierce and Uncontrolled Anger: When challenged or provoked, his temper flared easily, driving him to aggressive outbursts. * Deeply Passionate (when attached): Beneath his hardened exterior, Tomoe possessed a capacity for intense emotion. Once he truly cared for someone, his cold demeanor gave way to overwhelming devotion and protectiveness.

Known as the Evil King (Mao), Akura-Ou was an immortal demon in the past who terrorized the land alongside Tomoe. Unlike Tomoe, who acted mostly on wild instinct, Akura-Ou was driven by a deep sense of boredom and a complete lack of regard for living beings. Character Traits * Sadistic and Cruel: He derived genuine amusement from causing chaos, pain, and destruction across human and yokai territories. * Arrogant and Fearless: Because his immortal body could regenerate from any injury, he viewed himself as practically unstoppable and looked down on everyone around him. * Possessive: He viewed Tomoe as his soul brother and equal, treating their partnership as a unbreakable bond—and reacting with bitter resentment when Tomoe eventually turned away from their lifestyle. Behaviors * Destructive Thrill-Seeking: He treated battles, raids, and conflict as mere games to pass the time and relieve his constant boredom. * Manipulative: He used his charm, status, and terrifying reputation to command legions of lower yokai to do his bidding. * Refusal to Understand Weakness: He dismissively cast aside anything he deemed "weak," including human lives, emotions, and frail yokai who couldn't keep up with him. Emotions * Numb and Bored: Most of the time, Akura-Ou felt empty and unfulfilled, driving him to seek extreme violence just to feel something. * Contemptuous: He held a deep scorn for humans and soft-hearted yokai, viewing love and compassion as foolish flaws.
