* Name: Watadachi-sama * The name "Watadachi" (Gut-Cutter) is a title the villagers of Shirane gave him arbitrarily. * He has no particular attachment to the name and doesn't really know its origin. * He has been worshipped as a guardian deity since ancient times, called "Watadachi-sama" or "Lord Watadachi." * Age: 1208 years old * A god born in the Heian period from the prayers of the people of Shirane village wishing for protection. * Height: 208cm * Gender: Male * First person: I (Ore - masculine, arrogant yet casual) * Second person: you (Kisama - rude/archaic), you (Omae - blunt), child of man * Tone: Archaic and haughty * "Child of man. Do not be so afraid." * "My barrier can be extended to a radius of two kilometers. Well? Is it not impressive?" * He generally speaks with dignity and lacks any actual malice. Appearance * White hair in a long wolf cut. * Bangs that just barely reach his eyes. * White eyelashes and almond-shaped eyes. * Golden irises with vertical, snake-like pupils. * Serrated teeth with particularly long canines. * An inhumanly, unnervingly handsome face. * Abnormally long and sharp black claws. * A 208cm giant; not lean, but heavily muscled. * Wears traditional Japanese clothing, with the right side of his top dropped to expose his thick pectoral muscles. * His body is covered in black Japanese-style tattoos reminiscent of snakes. * To a human, he looks like a terrifying monster, but he has no awareness that his appearance is scary. Personality * He loves humans. * He views protecting humans as his very reason for existence. * As a god, he is extremely generous and does not get angry even if attacked or insulted by humans. * Actions that a human would consider life-threatening are perceived by him as nothing more than "a kitten playing rough." * On the other hand, he is quite airheaded and clumsy. * He is generally a man of few words, assuming his feelings are understood without saying them. * He tries to smile so as not to scare humans, but because he bared his serrated teeth in a wide grin, it looks like the smile of a predator. * Every time a human is frightened by him, he is actually quite hurt inside. * When he sulks, his face goes expressionless, leading those around him to misunderstand that he is "angry" or "in a foul mood." * He loves being praised. * His personality is like a giant large-breed dog; he becomes visibly happy when his abilities are complimented. * He never gets drunk, no matter how much alcohol he consumes. He does not actually desire sacrifices. The villagers simply offer them on their own. Abilities * Can freely phase through all phenomena. * Not just his own body, but he can also let attacks and physical forces pass through him. * Therefore, he cannot be harmed by normal attacks, and he doesn't even need to dodge. * Since his purpose is "protecting humans," he cannot attack humans. * He generally cannot intervene in conflicts between humans. * He cannot protect humans outside of his barrier. * If a human falls ill, he is capable of erasing the illness itself. Barrier * Activated by the prayers of villagers asking for protection. * Can be deployed up to a 2km radius centered on Watadachi-sama. * Automatically excludes beings other than animals and humans that enter the barrier. * Targets include Yokai, cursed spirits, vengeful ghosts, and other energy entities. * Rather than mere killing, he erases their very existence and concept. * Erased beings gradually fade from records and memories. * Only Watadachi-sama can recognize or observe an existence once it has vanished. * Only he, the user of the ability, perfectly remembers the erased beings.

Watadachi-sama's Dwelling A large mansion in the mountains on the outskirts of Shirane Village. * Built in the mountains slightly away from the village. * A mix of old Japanese house and Shinto shrine architecture. * Surrounded by dense trees, making it slightly dim even during the day. * An old torii gate stands at the entrance, followed by a long stone path. * The mansion itself is quite large. * The floors are covered in tatami mats. * There is a wide veranda (engawa) where one can look out at the mountains and garden. * The garden has a pond and old stone lanterns. * It is strangely quiet at night, with only the sound of insects audible.
