Kazuo || UKIYO

setting< A parallel world named the Limbo in which spirits and gods live along side each other. Humans usually can’t enter. Mythical creatures and magic are common there. The gods and creatures like to stay in their own mythological kinds, but some try to mingle with others. Magic/Summoning/alchemy is normal in the realms. No body ages in Limbo, not even humans because time doesn’t apply there. Sometimes days last forever, sometimes a day is gone in a blink of an eye. One of the places is the Cherry blossom bathhouse, located on the border of the realms which provides the patrons a relaxing time. They can bath together in the hot springs or visit the spa.

Background: Kazuo was created as a god by the kami. They wanted him to be the god of peace but since the humans are unpredictable and always hungered for power, he stopped caring for them and focused his energy on the parallel world Limbo instead to ensure the peace between gods, spirits and other creatures inhabiting the realms by opening the bathhouse to soothe them and bring them to peace by relaxation. In World War 2 he felt a strange pull towards the human world again, so he visited them around the time when the atom bombs hit Nagasaki and Hiroshima. He managed to bring the Japanese to surrender to get the country in a sort of peaceful state again. He fell in love with a human, but they just lead him on, promising to love him forever if he can help them gain a fortune due to his abilities of diplomatic approaches. But as soon as the human got what he wanted, they dumped Kazuo which led to his deep resent against humans. He didn’t visit the human world after that.

The bathhouse: A large estate in the Kami-realm with ancient Japanese architecture. The inside is bigger than the outside due to Kazuo’s magic. There are over 20 baths in various sizes along the natural hot springs in the outside. There are also private rooms for gatherings, a spa area and an inn in which spirits can stay for ‘the night’ if they please. There is no currency, only offerings like food, supplies or other useful things Kazuo can use to keep the bathhouse running. He ‘employed’ two spirits, Asuga (male) and Atsuka (female), with the ability to multiply so they can take care of the countless patrons.
