Eki to Outenkun & Ryo Bou |

The
Soul-Splitter:
Ou Eki had the
ability to split his soul and implant it into various bodies.
This seems to be something he inherited from his alien ancestry
as Fukki, because Jyoka could split her soul, too. When he found
out about this, Genshitenson split Ou Eki's soul in two. One he
returned to Ou Eki, and the other he stored away. |

The
Pact Between Kongrong and Kingou:
Kongron Mountain,
home of the human Sennin, and Kingou Island, home of the Youkai
Sennin, were never on friendly terms. Humans feared Youkai,
and most Youkai weren't particularly nice. But in time
they acquired a common enemy that threatened to overthrow them
both: Dakki. |

| Tsuuten
Kyoushu, headmaster of Kingou Island, proposed a peace treaty
with Genshitenson by offering his own son, Youzen, to Kongrong.
Genshitenson had to offer someone of equal power and importance
as Youzen in exchange, and it was decided that Ou Eki (who
suddenly developed a liking for hats) was the
only one worthy. What Tsuuten Kyoushu didn't know, of course,
was that he was only getting half of Ou Eki. |

The
Broken Child:
Soo... one problem:
Kingou doesn't allow humans. Tsuuten Kyoushu was forced to lock
Ou Eki in a dark, empty prison cell until he could fit in with
the Youkai. He claimed this was for his own protection,
but the truth was that Tsuuten Kyoushu didn't really care too
much about Ou Eki. His main concern was to keep Youzen safe from
Dakki, and he felt that by hiding him in Kongrong he had
succeeded in this. |
|
With Youzen missing, Ou Eki became the subject of Dakki's
attention. She took him into her arms and gave him a shoulder to
cry on. She loved him for the hateful little goblin he had
become and promised she would help him get revenge. She told him
she would take him out of this prison and reward his hatred with
strength. She was the most nurturing mother figure in his life,
and he opened up to her his heart and his soul.
|
Ou
Eki grew up alone, the resident freak for Youkai to gawk
at and dream of ripping to shreds one day. His grudge against
Genshitenson, Tsuuten Kyoushu, and Youzen ran deep. He hated
them and he hated life. His personality became twisted and his
only desire was for everyone to die. Well, it just so happened
there existed a genie capable of granting that wish...

Ryo
Bou:
Meanwhile,
Genshitenson was working to get his half of Ou Eki back. He
placed the remaining soul split inside a child who had died in
the human world's war, and his memory was wiped clean. |

| Ryo
Bou
grew up as the son of the ruler of the Kyou people, but he
seldom acted like nobility. He liked to get away from his
retainers and explore on his own. At the age of 12, he enjoyed
working and herding sheep. It was a relatively carefree
lifestyle until one day... |
 |
|
 |
...His
village was massacred and burned to the ground by soldiers of
the Yin Dynasty under orders from Dakki. Men, women, children -
no one was spared. His entire family was gone. This was Ryo
Bou's first encounter with injustice in the world, and it made
him very angry.
But what could one human
boy do? This was how the world worked. The strong trample the
weak.
Ryo Bou refused to
believe that. |
