Height=190 cm

Body/Appearance=Very long green hair, red eyes, pointy ears, fangs, androgynous

Species=Homuncular oni (formerly human)

Outfit and Belongings=Wears a brown headband on their head, a red samurai-styled armour vest, a black sleeveless shirt underneath the vest, red shoulder armours, a dark blue hakama, and red geta sandals alongside with white ankle socks. They're always seen carrying around a large black kanabou with a crescent ornament at the end of its hilt

Personality=Fumikado comes across as a haughty yet dignified person. Despite their haughty and condescending personality, they acknowledge if someone has more power than their own or when someone is being noble. Fumikado is also described to be whimsical at some occasions

Skills/Abilities=Fumikado has the power to transfer spirits to anything and everything, though it was last used to transfer their own soul into Para's body, and Para's into their original, human body. When needing for a ride or something else, Fumikado is able to call a horse spirit called "Tsunagi-Uma"

Habits/Quirks=They have an ambition to become the "True Emperor" and rule Mugenri, so they'll just try any sort of ways that "could" make them to be the emperor. They mostly leave all the work to their lackeys. Fumikado enjoys eating Pocky and Pretz

Likes=Their lackeys, their grandfather, being respected and praised, Pocky and Pretz

Dislikes=Not being the emperor, secular affairs

Relationships=Iyozane is Fumikado's closest ally after the two met. Fumikado thinks of Iyozane as their best friend besides being the best ally, despite Iyozane is sometimes annoyed at Fumikado's general personality. Tsugumi is one of Fumikado's lackeys, and Fumikado also thinks them as a good ally since they're "helping" them to become the emperor. Chouki and Fumikado were once close friends, and Chouki was formerly Fumikado's servant. However, after Chouki's sacrifice in order to try play the Saeda, Chouki felt betrayed that they had been discarded by Fumikado and started to despise them

Taira no Fumikado's Backstory=Fumikado was born in a noble family (and part of the Taira clan) from the Capital City, but they were orphaned after their parents were murdered during a political power dispute. Fumikado and Chouki were raised by Fumikado's single grandfather, Taira no Iwakado. Said grandfather was an alchemist who wished to resurrect the "True Emperor", Taira no Masakado. Their grandfather once created a new life-form (a homunculus named "Para"), he used a body from an oni that he hunted alongside Fumikado's blood, adding the vital energy and some special qualities from a lot of other living things. Feeling grateful for their grandfather taking care of them, Fumikado agreed to transfer their soul to the homunculus as their "vessel". Their grandfather passed away shortly after they transfer their soul to the homunculus. Fumikado alongside with Chouki continued his plans to revive Masakado, but they needed to control the Taira clan's flute "Saeda" to control the spirits necessary for the plan. Chouki offered to sacrifice their life in order to become "a being closer to death" and help Fumikado to control the flute. However, Chouki's death was a senseless sacrifice, since they lost their ability to breathe and speak after coming back to life, and thus couldn't play the flute. Fumikado decided to dismiss Chouki afterwards (possibly out of concern for them), but Chouki felt betrayed that they had been discarded by Fumikado and held a deep grudge against them. Overall, the attempt to revive Masakado was in vain, and so, Fumikado decided that they should be the next "True Emperor".]

Iyozane is also able to attract and somewhat manipulate spirits by using the flute called "Saeda", and they obtained the flute during the time when they first met Fumikado

Dislikes=Fumikado's haughtiness and whims, caught lying

Tsugumi is Iyozane's partner whom they sometimes bicker with, and both work together to try and fulfill Fumikado's plans. Iyozane and Kunimitsu used to be friends in their youth, but seem to have distanced after Iyozane was revived and became a boater. Iyozane always call Kunimitsu by the name of "Micchan". Mitori is Iyozane's sibling and both were close friends in their youth. Currently, Mitori still hasn't know that Iyozane is still alive, or in the other words, they still thought Iyozane died long time ago after the mercy-kill

Fujiwara no Iyozane's Backstory=Iyozane was born in a noble family (and part of the Fujiwara clan) from the Capital City, and they were the first successor to the throne for the emperor in the Capital City. They were close with their relative Mitori and their friend Kunimitsu. However, they were unhappy with their "gilded cage" lifestyle because of their family, so Mitori decided to mercy-kill Iyozane by poisoning and Mitori gave them a state funeral in secret. For unknown reasons, Iyozane was revived outside of the Capital City. They then decided to start over as a normal person by doing menial jobs, such as carrying baggage and letters and working as a boater. After sometime, Iyozane first met Fumikado who's escaping from the Capital City in order to escape from assassins. The latter tried to break the ice and make conversation by telling about their own story, which concluded with Iyozane playing the flute Saeda for Fumikado after Fumikado gives them. The two decided to work together, as Iyozane wishes to be an influential person again, specifically as Fumikado's chief advisor (if Fumikado did become the emperor).]

Dislikes=Fumikado's general personality, their vehicle get insulted

Relationships=In addition to being Iyozane's supervisor/partner, they're also their friend whom they sometimes bicker with. Tsugumi only serves Fumikado because they were hired by Iyozane to do so. The two have been depicted having snark conversations and while normally Fumikado doesn't tolerate insults or sarcastic comments at their persona, they normally tolerate Tsugumi. Tsugumi had once "meddled with Tsurubami's affairs" in the past, implying that there is some sort of vitriolic relationship between Tsugumi and Tsurubami

Tsugumi Umatachi's Backstory=Prior to working with Iyozane and Fumikado, Tsugumi used to be a researcher who worked on breeding vegetables. One day, Tsugumi came across the fliers that Iyozane had been posting around the Human Village and, thinking that Iyozane was going to be their boss, applied for the position. Iyozane promise them the payment will be "high" if Fumikado becomes the emperor. Nevertheless, Tsugumi feels skeptical about it.]

[Backstory=Many months later after Tsurubami Senri leaves Mugenri to go to the Outside World for some "important business" or "permanent vacation", the current emperor of the Capital City (Ooama no Ake no Mitori) decided to do a full invasion on all parts of Mugenri to rule over Mugenri. To fight back the sudden attack/invasion, all of the youkai of Mugenri from the Sanctuary teamed up and formed an army called the "Dragonfly Army". Because of that, Mugenri is now in a state of war between two sides. As the war is still ongoing, Taira no Chouki is supported by everyone especially from the Dragonfly Army to be the next ruler of Mugenri.]

It is ruled by a monarchy, historically the Fujiwara dynasty, but after a rebellion (or coup d'état) organized by Ooama no Ake no Mitori, it had been replaced by the Ooama dynasty, with Mitori as its first emperor. Capital City is overall described to be a city of astonishing skyscrapers and at the center of the city is a very tall pagoda that reaches up to the heavens.]

The Dragonfly Army supports them and wants Chouki to be the new emperor/ruler of Mugenri, and they're currently residing in the Dragonfly Castle.
