O C C U P A T I O N - Bodyguard F A M I L Y - Family Here F A M I L I A R -  [img][/img]T H E M E - YOKAI POWERS/sub]  Hososhi 方相氏 ほうそうし TRANSLATION: minister of the four directions; one who sees in all directions APPEARANCE: In ancient times, a hōsōshi was an official government minister and a priest in the imperial court. He wears special robes (the particular outfit varies depending on which shrine the ritual is being performed at), and carries a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. The name also refers to a demon god which this priest would dress up as during yearly purification rituals. This god appears as a four-eyed oni who can see in all directions, and punishes all evil that it sees. BEHAVIOR: During the early Heian Period, the hōsōshi’s duties included leading coffins during state funeral processions, officiating at burial ceremonies, and driving corpse-stealing yōkai away from burial mounds. By donning the mask and costume, the hōsōshi (priest) became the hōsōshi (god) and was able to scare away evil spirits. The hōsōshi’s most famous duty was a purification ceremony called tsuina. Tsuina was performed annually on Ōmisoka—the last day of the year—at shrines and government buildings (such as the imperial palace). In this ritual, the hōsōshi and his servant would run around the shrine courtyard (covering “the four directions”), chanting and warding the area against oni and other evil spirits. Meanwhile, a number of attending officials would shoot arrows around the hōsōshi from the shrine or palace buildings, symbolically defending the area against evil spirits. Other observers would play small hand drums with ritualistic cleansing significance. - |

Nokoribi is a dragon under oath of silents. He does his job without question and is very good at it. He has been placed as a guard for a young dragon from a royal line. He does his duty while she pokes and prods him to speak even though it is forbidden for him to really speak to her. But to her sometimes his silents speak volumes, she enjoys his silent companionship, though he still gives her all sort of other expressions to let her know he is listening. Nokoribi takes pride in his job and can be found always honing his skills. Though at times his silents do get to him and he needs to talk to someone. So every once in awhile he does break his oath and only with Suguha. His past is a mystery and never talks about it. Nobody knows and he wishes to keep it that way. |
