Devil's Ruminations (Kuiara's Relationship Chart)
Overseers
Mika Mori
How did this imbecilic human master the Consummate Self Incarnation? She can barely make a handsign! Perhaps she has some Yokai blood to make up for her obvious shortcomings? It would explain her battlelust, as well as her other skills.
Her boredom tortures her almost as much as I will. I will relish draining her to a husk and throwing the corpse into the gutter.
Kaguya
This...this child is the one to wield Masamune? I expected better, but with how pathetic do-gooders are, perhaps that is my folly. I have no hang-ups with dealing with a child as one would an adult, and with how naive she is, her tears will be all too delicious. I shall corrupt Masamune in her fluids, and Muramasa will finally have a true partner!
Aoi
Another repugnant overseer, however this one I feel a degree of kinship with. I know what it is like to have your memories and knowledge ripped from you by a pair of blundering hands. Such sentimentality won't save her from what I shall do to her, but I wonder if knowing this would make it better or worse for her.
Lloyd the Purple Oni
A female appearance, yet somehow a man. Pathetic. Even more so for being a Yokai in servitude. They apparently have great potential, as well as mighty techniques, but from what I have sensed, their aura is pitiful. The Overseers clearly need some actual teachers for techniques if this is what they muster!
Shigure
I've sensed his aura, and like so many who wear the badge of the Overseers, he's a hypocritical whore. They love to parade themselves around as pillars of law and order, but I have seen him in Xana's whore districts, and not just as a customer!
Exorcists
Miko
I have heard of this hag. She may be a master of the book and scroll, but paper will do nothing to save her from me. Despoiling such a venerated figure, stealing away a fountain of wisdom and knowledge, such things are almost as pleasurable as taking their body! Not that she has one, being a ghost, but that's never stopped me before. I may steal her books as well, I definitely need to rebuild my repertoire after that bungling skeleton weakened me.
Senguru-no-Sumire
HA! This homunculus may be paraded around as some kind of savior of the light, but anyone with eyes to see, and wisdom to know what they see, sees the truth! A wretched existence, she's nothing but a jar! Still, a jar can be entertaining if one knows how. Not to mention, that sealed spirit, it could be worth a few laughs seeing what it would do if freed...
Iku
Another who runs from death. Your form does not fool me, exorcist, I can taste the age and experience wafting off of you. Much like a fine wine, I will savor every last drop that I wring from you. Having spent a lifetime fooled by the priests, I wonder if you would enjoy it? I hope not.
Waffu
Did someone misplace a parasol? No? This thing is supposed to be sentient? Nah. It is simply the unfinished product of some subpar craftsman. Chop it up for firewood.
Tsukurō
A lobotomite that is sent out against spirits. What a waste of an existence, to be naught but an attack dog. Another one somehow possessing techniques that they are far too stupid to have learnt themselves. Either an extremely specific idiot savant, or there is a legendary technique teacher out there, bastardizing the art. If so, they die.
Chitragupta Kumari
One more of the Overseer's backline operatives. Useless in any kind of a fight, so I've heard, and only of use in the banishing of spirits. How weak must one be if they can only call themselves a threat to the dead!
Meliala
Summoning angels to do your dirty work? Not impressed. I have slain and laid many supposed entities of high and noble virtues, and none made me break even a sweat. Perhaps it shall be worth the time to see her faith shattered as I throw her summon's head to her feet.
Beast Hunters
Kaine Tsukikage
A Yokai with a conscience? At first I was concerned at such a pathetic - though quite lovely to gaze at - creature existing, but after a bit more evaluation, it is clear his mind snapped after the transfiguration. I cannot hold that against him, or at least I wouldn't, save that he still has his member! Why not drown the woes with the weeping of a few dozen virgins, rather than playing hero, or do they wish to be called heroine now?
Yunlāw Jín
A monkey cannot defeat a man, much less a Yokai! A fighter simply out to fight may be respectable, but his wretched mercy diminishes any respect he could have scrounged. Shame. He will be of more use in a petting zoo.
John “Berserker” Thomas
I can smell the corruption brewing in his soul! Being one of the lucky souls to have conflict come to them, I don't think he has long before he will despise the exorcists as I do. Still, despite being a "berserker", he is not a fool like some others, and his resilience is quite impressive. Another to put on a chain.
Toshiko
A child from the wilderness looking for more. I do not empathize but I do understand. One should never allow oneself to be limited from what can be achieved by the delusions and fears of those around them.
Distorted Mirage
For her skill in Flow, she is quite the fool! Having amassed a sizeable karmic debt myself, I can tell her this much with complete earnestness: don't bother with the decrees of the self-aggrandizing. Live how you want to live, and judging by your track record, we'll get along.
Bodyguards
Maihime Amajiro
A beast that acts like one, lapping at the heels of any master it can find. All that is needed is a bottle of booze instead of a bone, and she would sit, roll over, and play dead. Still, uses can be found for such beasts of burden. I sense a similar "mix up" upon her as the previous wretch, and with a morality found in the bottle, a host of opportunities for entertainment could open up...
Chi Shin'nou
A four-armed Yokai is quite a rare thing, so to see one waste their true potential with such inferior technique usage would be upsetting, were it not simply another reminder of my superiority. Of course, the notions of superiority/inferiority infuriate her, as she sees all as equal. I should remind her that this is nonsense, but quite frankly, I am spoiled for choice for where to begin on the front of fun!
Ootori Tsugumi
A beast playing dress up. Seems to have something rattling between her ears, so not an invalid like so many, but there's only so far a beast may reach before its leash tightens. Still, having interacted with her in the Yahata, she is at least aware of her station.
Warsmiths
Andrew Brunet
A priest of some faraway land, clinging to the delusion that his dead cult leader will save him. On par for the insanity of those who hold to faith. I wonder what sound he would make if I took that cross he so loves, and used it upon him for my amusement. The lamentations of the faithful when they find no figure from the sky descending to save them - it's a joy each and every time!
Aziz
Ahh, here's one who's got some amount of sense, small as it is! He is such an entertaining corpse. Believes himself to be much stronger than he actually is, which is surprising really, considering he's about as durable as any other cadaver. He talks a big game, but with his softness, I wonder sometimes if his jaw will fall off! Still, free entertainment should never be discarded.
Hayato Taida
A rare sight indeed, a human who is worth more than spit! Still, he is just a human, and as such, he is extremely limited. He sends out these recruitment calls, seeking allies! I join from time to time, as the mood strikes, as he tends to be a locus point for other entertaining people as well.
Faisal
These types were always so annoying. You're trying to have some good old-fashioned victor spoils, and they keep on encouraging you to give it to them harder! I'd impale her, but I think she'd enjoy it, and if so, what's the point?
Ayin Fist
Another effeminate one here. Never met them, only seen images, but apparently everyone hates them. Probably a safe bet, so until he/she/they prove otherwise, they can die for all I care.
Insurgents
Femurman
Big, Strong, and as dumb as they come. But, it would be remiss of me to write him entirely off as a bumbling fool. He has undeniable skill in some areas, and a laser focus when given a task, all good things to have in a lackey. He has no aspirations that cannot be satiated in a brothel, but that's no bad thing! Sometimes idiots like this are far more useful than their "intelligent" counterparts.
Xana Redsilk
Normally I don't go for women who want it, but Xana is a delight. There's no secret between us as to what is going on, the dance of domination is not hidden in the slightest. Never take off the ocular coverings or drop Reconciliation, or she will be on you like a viper to a pissing drunk's cock!
NAMELESS LORD OF FLAME
Being nameless because no-one cares who you are, and being nameless as people fear to speak it lest they summon you, are two very different things. A scatter-brained, noodle-limbed, loser who managed to piece together some Flow power and now thinks he's king of the world. He isn't even king of the refuse pile he sleeps on, that would be the rats.
Blot's Servant
There's nothing here. Just a shell being puppeted by this "blot". On one occasion I found myself wanting to clean the drool from his chin. This female body best not be screwing with my mind! At least there's no concerns over morality around him. I doubt he could even spell the word.
Smugglers
Kyomi
There's right and wrong ways to be a degenerate. What's gotten into these latest generations, that they throw money at a screen?! If you are too pathetic to take what you want, then there are countless dens where you could get it for pennies compared to this! I sense the same ailment upon this fox girl as I endure, but at least I maintain myself from digital harlotry. Aside from all that, behaves much like the dog she is, no matter how many times she insists she is a fox.
Shukisame
An idiot who strives beyond what they are capable of, but there is something amusing in that. A lunatic who kills whomever his limited mind desires, what a dangerous beast! However, he seems to have a hobby of collecting rare weapons, and none are rarer than Muramasa. Either he entertains me in his battles against others, or he ends up trying to come for me and serves as a plaything one final time. Either works.
Stalkers
Jaki
Such a feminine face, I was confused for a moment! Poisons and blades do not scare me in the slightest, but being that he drowns in debt, he could be twisted as any good toy could be. But remember, that a butler is always a butler, no matter how high they may be elevated.
Madoka
So preoccupied with watching others, that she seems unlikely to ever achieve anything of her own. I have encountered her a few times in the Yahaya, but an ally of the exorcists is one to keep on a leash or a pole..
Detective Hasu
Ha ha ha. He may try to pretend to be something he's not, but I can smell your soul, and what is lurking there. How long until this shell cracks, and the real entity in charge comes out? I'm sure that will be entertaining. He seems to know that I know, and avoids me in fear I may bait the beast within. He is accurate in his assessment.
Isshin Hanamura
A poor Stalker from a poor background. Constantly seeking two coins to rub together, rarely has such. He should realize that only crime pays and stop wasting his time on the pitiful contracts the exorcists throw him if he ever wants to accumulate actual wealth.
Maria the Purple Shadow
What...is this? A science experiment to create a being so pathetic that it should die, yet somehow lives? I want it dead as its existence offends me, but I know that life is far more torturous for it than whatever it finds on the other side. Disgusting.
Institute Apprentices
Kouki Kamiya
I can almost respect his dedication and ability in the mysteries of Techniques, as well as his potential going forward, but he is doomed owing to that eye technique of his. Technology is mostly useless, but these ocular coverings are an exception. To render such techniques harmless! Oh, if I had access to them before... Anyway, just pluck out his eyes and feed them to him.
Yuki Yuri
A coward, a pervert, and annoyingly, a half-decent combatant, that is, if she wasn't such a failure. I recognized her technique as soon as she performed it. It was one of my favorites before. I wonder if I could tear it out of her without contaminating it with her failure?
Long Zhi Wen
Supposedly, he is one of the only other beings in this reality capable of matching my skill with Techniques. Yet, for all that noise, I have yet to hear of any Technique of actual difficulty that he can perform. How is it that one such as this is incapable of what so many other imbeciles do with apparent ease?
Kenshin Go
A soulless husk of a man, devoured by monotony and drudgery. If his music is anything to go by, he deserves this fate. Perhaps he'd like a guitar stringed with his own heartstrings?
Street Vendors
Joe White
I refuse to take this swill peddler seriously. Not a bad cook though.
Yamata no Mizuki
She despises me because I do not fall for her paltry merchant tricks. I like her because she despises me and cannot do a single thing about it. She makes the cardinal sin of the drug trade of getting high off her own supply as well, which while funny, is proof not to do business with her.
Aura Slaves
Ren
It is said that he is alive because a Yokai showed mercy on him. If so, then that Yokai was a failure. From what I have seen of him, while his aura is vast and delicious, he is soft and pudgy. Seems to be popular with girls somehow.
Azami
Pathetic. Life as a worm was too much for this wretch, so they decided to live as an ornament. Why no-one has simply chopped off her arms and legs and used her truly as an item is beyond me.
Housekeepers
Dazai
He's apparently some butler for the Yakuza who was someone at some point. Slaves always have use, no matter the world. Apparently loves his mistress in more ways than one. If so, then he should just claim his desire.
Shion
Apparently this maid knows one of the most dangerous, yet useless, techniques in existence: The Cosmic Spokeless Wheel. Do not stand on top of any carpets near her. Her master Hayato is not my enemy, but only a fool would be reckless around a user of that technique. I wonder though, with my new immortality, could I survive even that? Best not to find out.
Lady Yor
Another slave. There's never much to say about these sorts. A good slave should be like the furniture; part of the background, until they are summoned. Apparently their soul is inherently pathetic, but I have found such dregs in this world, that I doubt she's any lower than them.
Ha-Qadistu-Sa-Tan
An imbecile with a pretty face, who has some luck in bewitching the mortals with faux charm. Claims to be some ancient evil from before creation, but that is almost certainly some Damn it! Why am I envious! I will tear her to shreds for this!
Surveyors
Logan Ace
This human deludes itself into thinking it is a demon! While it would be simple to dispel this - simply have an exorcist fail to exorcise him - it's far funnier to see how far his madness can be taken. Who knows, perhaps by fooling him into doing enough evil, he may eventually turn into what he thinks he is.
Yakuza
Iori
A slave who has learned to love her leash. Apparently she is quite the attack dog. Goes to show how easy it is to manipulate humans through their experience of 'love'. Beyond that, I know little about her.
Moros Redsilk
Brother of Xana, and far less pleasant as company. He is a four-armed Yokai and squanders the potential that offers him. Still, I have no umbrage with him, beyond how repugnant that I find how he defers so meekly to his sister.
Custom
Hajun
Is he an idiot? Yes. Is his attention span in milliseconds lower than his IQ? Yes. Is he about as charming as a water logged stick? Yes. Do I have anything positive to say about him? Actually, yes! He is bound, both metaphorically and literally, by his vows. He suffers tremendously if he cannot fulfill them. Ironic torture is always a rare treat, and here, he can be sent into fits by aiding him and leaving before he can repay the debt! No good deed goes unpunished, but here, he is the one to pay the price!
Shinka, the Chimera Queen
A sassy lost child playing at being monarch? No, this one is simply trapped by whatever befell it. Claims to be intelligent, may well be so, when compared to its monkey peers. I can't deny a certain curiosity as to how it formed though. Perhaps once I have recovered more, I can indulge in some vivisection.
