CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

BACKGROUND:
OF PEASANTS AND KINGS
Once upon a time, there was a farmer's son.
Each and every day he toiled in the fields. Since as long as he was able to pick up a tool. He worked the simple turnip fields his family owned for generations. A mere peasant, he worked tirelessly for a meager profit. All to fuel the gluttony of a cruel and ruinous king.
The despondent masses slowly grew angry. Tired of the ruler who wasted all their resources to feed his gluttony and greed. Amongst those rising hackles was the very same farmer boy. But what could a bunch of peasants do? For they only had their pitchforks and the clothes on their backs. Compared to their lord's soldiers covered in plate mail and waving around swords.
But the farmer's son had a plan. For they were small in number and weak, alone. But more than capable of clamoring together for a greater cause. All they needed was a plan... The farmer's son posited that they hide under the cloak of the night. Covered in dark clothes they would attempt guerilla warfare. Taking out the various guards with stealthy attacks. One by one they picked off the guards. Until all that was left was the lord himself.
It was there that the group confronted the evil king. Only to be ambushed by the king's royal guard. The ragtag group consisting of farmers, bakers, and various peasants resolve quickly crumbled. As they ratted out the young man in favor of protecting their own lives. The king had a bit of mercy in his cold dead heart. And spared the villagers. And instead focused his wrath solely on the "hero". The king ordered his family to be slaughtered and for the boy himself to be imprisoned in a cell deep within the castle walls.
There he was tortured and starved. Left to stew in his own malice. The young boy became steeped in dark and twisted ki. His soul was corrupted by his own hatred and rage. He was left for years until his physical body was wasted away. Fifty years later, with the king long dead. The "forgotten hero" was left to the annuls of time.
Lost and abandoned.
Long after the people have moved on.

THE DEMON AND THE HERO
But he wouldn't die.
He refused to die.
Even as he breathed his final breath, his desperate soul would take in all of his malice and rancor. As the lingering dark ki breathed new life into the vengeful hero's new existence. And he was reborn, as a demon. Freed of his shackles, in the ruins of the king's long-forgotten castle. The demon would travel down the mountainside, sating his hunger for the souls of those around him. Granting him more strength with each life he took. And after every feast, he would return to that same ruined castle on the mountain.
Slowly, rumors began to spread about the demon who dwelled on the mountain. "Shuten-Doji", they called him. A voracious and cruel demon who feasted on the souls of the unlucky and unwitting who crossed his path. As time went on Shuten-Doji grew bolder. Openly attacking his victims in broad daylight. Amassing followers who followed his every word like a cult. Traveling from village to village to enact his reign of terror. The people cried out for a savior. And would get one in the form of a wandering martial artist named "Minamoto".
He and his band of traveling fighters would hear the cries of the desperate village and work together to seal the demon into the very mountain he resided in. After a long, grueling, fight that lasted several days. Shuten-Doji was finally bested. And their last effort to seal him into the mountain succeeded.
And once again, the demon was forgotten...
Until...
THE DEMON WHO DWELLED IN THE MOUNTAIN
Hundreds of years later, long after Minamoto and his band of followers sealed him away. What remained of his cultists spent generations trying to undo the seal that bound him. Eventually, they realized the only way to undo the seal was to have the demon's soul slip through the barrier via possession. Forcefully yanking his soul through the seals, they tethered his essence to a sacrifice. The descendant of his jailor, Minamoto. He was now given a soulless meat puppet to parade around in.
Shuten-Doji is thrust into a world that has long forgotten him. His legacy was left in shambles. His power diminished to a laughable pitful spark. He is left to reclaim his former glory and power. And even more so, surpass it in grandiosity and scale. To become the strongest demon in the known universe. To amass even more followers, treasure, status, and power! To sit atop of the throne of the Gods and stake his claim to dark divinity.
All... would soon belong to him!
Shuten-Doji!
