Although it was never explained why, time has stopped for Para's body, making them effectively unaging and immortal

Para's Siblings=Para's siblings are the white, amorphous failed homunculi that floats around them and they wear on. While some of their siblings are sentient, others are not, and some are somewhere in-between. They can change shape, so Para is often wearing them, such as as shoes or a necklace. Para's siblings are also failed attempts at creating Para. One of the siblings has taken the shape of a cross and other is taking the shape of a halo, which might reference Para's immortality

Para's Backstory=Para was created by Fumikado's grandfather, Taira no Iwakado. He used a body from an oni that he hunted with Fumikado's blood, adding the vital energy and some special qualities from a lot of other living things to manufacture a new life-form. Para first thought that they are just another perfect creation to be admired by everyone. Little did they realize, they were rather created to be the perfect "vessel", so Fumikado swapped their souls and sealed Para inside Fumikado's human body

Additional Info=In the world of Mugenri, homunculus refers to all life created via alchemical means. A homunculus is born with all the knowledge in the world, and gradually loses it over time as they age. By the time they are fully grown, they would have lost a majority their knowledge, but would still be far wiser than the average human. Para's name is actually a given name by Chouki.]

[Info about Mugenri=Mugenri is a secluded region in Japan, separated from the Outside World by the Mugenri Barrier. Its culture vaguely resembles that of feudal Japan, embellished with folkloric elements. Youkai, gods, and other mythical things do exist here obviously. Mugenri is divided by two major areas: the main land of Mugenri and an unnamed country on the other side. The Gloomy Straits is between these two major areas. The well-known locations in main land: Senri Shrine, Long Shrine Road, Human Village, Withered Grove, Unlost Woods, Dragonfly Castle

Info about Capital City=Devanagara, or simply called Capital City, is the imperial capital of a yet unnamed country on the other side of the Gloomy Straits.

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. Chouki is unable to speak and breathe after reviving as a spirit, so Garaiya helps them by giving a shikigami named Burabura (a lantern-youkai) to speak for them.

Kujiru has the ability to "divide slipperily", allowing them to make copies of themself, which is quite useful for spying and communicating with the rest of the Dragonfly Army. They are more powerful than your average slug youkai, and salt has no effect on them, except for olive oil. Kujiru is bratty, overconfident and impulsive.

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 have the power to transfer spirits to anything and everything, but they last used it to transfer their soul to the homunculus. Fumikado comes across as a haughty yet dignified person. They're also whimsical at some occasion. Despite their haughty and condescending personality, they acknowledge if someone has more power than their own or when someone is being noble.

They are actually born from the Fujiwara family in Capital City and Mitori is their sibling. However, since they were depressed with their "gilded cage" lifestyle, 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, then decided to start over as a normal person by doing menial jobs. They have the ability to manipulate waves, but they mostly use the ability when they want to move their boat around the Gloomy Straits much easier. Furthermore, they're able to attract and manipulate spirits by using the flute called the Saeda. Iyozane is shown to be laid-back, quite ambitious, straightforward, and gentle. They are also bad at lying and keeping secrets. Fumikado is Iyozane's closest ally after the two met.

However, they are unable to ride anything that is beyond the scope of their own powers, such as objects that are too large or too powerful. Tsugumi speaks in an informal way and they're very blunt, often having to play the straight man to Fumikado and also Iyozane to an extent. They can be quite snarky, at some occasions. They get offended when people insult the vegetables they ride on. Tsugumi has short blonde hair and yellow eyes.
