Background
A Prince of Kuyou, the Land of the Calendar. He is of the Rat Family.
Skilled in both writing and ink painting, he’s always calm and open-minded but subjugates those around him with his overwhelming charisma. On the other hand, he is coldhearted and will cast aside anyone for the sake of his own ambition, causing his retainers to cower in fear. The Rat Family are prideful as they stand as the head of the twelve royal families in Kuyou.
Introduction
You arrive in Kuyou, having been invited by Shin after waking him. You find it difficult to approach him because of his overwhelming aura, but you still want to know what is in his heart…-.
Name
- Shin – from shin (震), one of the eight trigrams in I Ching that represents thunder and the east.
- Kuyou – from the nine heavenly bodies (planets, sun, and moon) that are deified in Hindu astrology. Kuyou is translated from Japanese as meaning Navagraha, the cosmic influencers on life that are associated with the stars in the zodiac. They include the sun, moon (which actually has 3 deities), Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.
