Profile And Skills

Profile: As the presumptive heir to the Tokyo-based Saionji family and it's considerable financial, political and social clout Rei Saionji would seem to be an object of envy. With good looks, an incessant work ethic and bright future ahead of him at Fra Mauro University there is little about his life that not seem pre-determined for luxury, greatness and wealth. Yet beneath Rei's polite courtesy lies a deep misanthropic contempt for the world at large, and general nihilistic attitude to all the accolades and honors others would place on him. His presence in the area is far more than it seems, having been dispatched by the Saionjis to assist the NWO reaching it's goals for a reinvigorated, more powerful Japan. Although he does what is asked of him dutifully and to the utmost of his considerable ability, Rei shows no ideological commitment or true belief in much of anything he does. Seemingly content to to walk the path so many others seem intent on laying out for him, it's not until he hears of an organization called 'Kagutsuchi' that dreams of fire, blood and agony start to seem more like memories, and his wayward journey on the path of insubordination begins....

Persona Information and Resonance

"I am thou... thou art I. I am Oyuki. I neither forget nor forgive, and mercy is unknown to me. For my blade is winter's cold breath, which claims all life without exception..."

Oyuki is a named example of a well-known elemental spirit in Japanese folklore: The Yuki-Onna, formiddable yokai associated with the merciless winter, appearing most often as inhumanly beautiful women with skin pale as the snow, clad in white kimonos and eyes that strike terror into hearts of mortals. Although feared for leading mortals astray in the snow so they may die, Oyuki's tale is one of a yuki-onna who spared a farmer in a blizzard for his youth, allow him to leave on the condition that she would kill him if he ever told a soul about her. The farmer went on to wed a beautiful young woman and one day told her of the story, in which she revealed herself to him as the same yokai and scorned him for breaking his word, sparing him again for the children she had borne him and vanishing from the mortal realm.

Oyuki's hatred for her husband for breaking his promise and thereafter rejection of humans can be considered symbolic of humanity's continued vulnerability to the bitterness of winter. Her indifference to the suffering of most humans is fitting for a nature spirit of her aspect, her unnatural beauty ever a lure and a threat to those who cannot stifle their curiosity.

Resonance:

SENSE: Rei's persona is a subtle one and not casually detectable under most circumstances to most people with the ability to discern such. However, those who manage to make the connection would feel a terrible kind of chill around him, defined by absence and isolation from warmth not unlike a wanderer lost in an unending plain of undriven snow. Opaque, endless and inimical to life, his resonance invokes the indifferent kind of cruelty ascribed to the less kind side of nature and its lack of compassion for the beings that live and breathe within it. Not actively malicious, but utterly indifferent.

SMELL: The clean smell of a frozen lake. Condensed, crystallized moisture. The air on a clear winter day.

SOUND: The howl of frigid gale. The crack of fractured ice. The crunch of fresh-fallen snow beneath one's feet.

TALENT: Rei's persona grants him a particular gift - considerable resistance to the elements. This manifests as a terribly high, almost unsettling preference for the cold for which he is known to remain comfortable in even with comparatively light clothing. The same as true for hot weather, while the touch of Oyuki's chill keeps him cool and refresh in even the most sweltering summers, seldom seen to break a sweat. Having had his persona from a young age, Rei is intimately knowledgable of the more subtle ways in which to put it to use, most often in maintaining a stoic facade that is challenging for even the most empathic sorts to read.
