QUESTIONNAIRE:

What does family mean to you and who do you consider a part of your family?

"My family was my mother. That's it. I have other living relatives but they're as close to me as strangers on the street, and my father just up and left us so he's in that same category. My mother could be really weird sometimes, and kind of embarrassing, but she was the only person in the world who I could trust fully. I never had to doubt she cared about me, it was in everything she did. I also never had to question her true intentions, what you saw with her was what you got, no mind games or manipulation.

I don't have any sentimental way of describing what I think family means. My first reaction is just to say 'people you're related to', as cold as that sounds. I never had anyone I was so close to I called them family even though we weren't related like you see in some movies. Is that kind of thing really common outside of fiction? It's hard for me to believe in sappy things like that. My mother wasn't a good person because she was family. She was just a good person."

What is the most frightening thing you've ever done? What part of you did it test the most?

"Willingly pursuing a monster, especially considering I’d just watched it turn other humans into disfigured messes. Anyone would think I was crazy, and they'd probably be right. It wasn't even for a noble reason like to try and stop him from killing again; I wanted to learn to do the same thing.

Typically, I tended to avoid danger instead of overcoming it. I would just take the beating from my harassers rather than fighting back. I learned early fighting back would just make their sessions longer and harsher. In the curse’s ability I saw a chance to gain the power to finally fight back, and I didn't want to let that chance slip through my fingers. If he killed me, wasn’t that better than dying to those pieces of human garbage? Rather than continuing to be passive about what was happening to me, I swallowed any fear took a huge risk. The thing about fear is it tends to be in place for a good reason. Maybe I should have listened to that instinct after all.”

Your Faction leader, not just your boss but the leader, has asked you to carry out a hit. The target is a non-affiliated public leader, well-liked by the people of the city. Do you carry it out? Why or why not?

“I would do it.

I’m going to have to kill here anyway, aren’t I? That’s what this question tells me. I haven’t got any personal attachment to anyone here, well liked or hated. Important or not. Refusing an order from someone so high up on the chain of command couldn’t possibly result in anything but punishment, and I don’t even want to imagine what punishment entails in a place like this. I may as well do the natural human thing and do whatever will benefit me regardless of the harm to others. What’s the point in morals and kindness now?”

What is your favorite diversion? Hobbies, indulgences, vices? Would you put off important things for that diversion, or would you be more strict about how you spend your time and/or money?

"I like watching movies. Specifically, I enjoy watching movies multiple times to fully appreciate their nuances, preferably in a theater setting for the optimal experience. No matter how high definition video gets it can't yet compete with seeing something on a big screen at all. I especially enjoy horror movies, although I can find something to appreciate from all genres. I'm not sure if that can be considered a hobby, induldgence or vice - maybe it's a little of each?

There were times I pushed aside things others might deem important in favor of watching movies, but the average person's opinion of what's important isn't always something I agree with. Some would say going to school is incredibly important, for example, but all going to school did for me was allow the people who tormented me to know exactly where I'd be when they felt like torturing me. Considering that was destroying me both inside and out day by day, I'd say doing something I enjoyed was much more important. I have zero regrets about the amount of time I spent skipping class and going to the theater instead.

If there was something that I felt would actually improve my life, I'm sure I would be able to curb the habit in order to focus on it. I don't think I'm so addicted to seeing movies I'm above doing other more important things. It's just that I felt so hopeless about everything I didn't see any point in denying myself one of the few things that brought me joy."

POWERS & ABILITIES: Junpei has the capability of summoning a massive jellyfish shikigami called Moon Dregs. While it can use its tentacles to cause harm by simply striking a target with them or inflicting paralysis, its primary weapon is its ability to inject poison. Said poison can either be injected by forming a tentacle into a needle-like shape, or simply by touch, and forms a rash that has the appearance of a cigarette burn as it spreads.

SUITABILITY: To be blunt, Junpei lives a crapsack existence. His life before he starts skipping school involves being terrorized by bullies whose abuse is almost entirely of the brutally physical sort - punching, kicking him on the ground, burning his skin with cigarettes, and making him eat cockroaches. Teachers turn a blind eye to all of this, and he quickly learns it's pointless to fight back. Thanks to the cruelty he has to endure, he becomes deeply cynical about human beings and life in general. He aims to be indifferent towards other people, who he comes to believe are by and large heartless.

As the story progresses he's subjected to horrors of a more supernatural sort when he encounters a being manifested from human hatred with the power to reshape souls and by extension physical bodies. This leads to having a front row seat to people having their forms warped into grotesuqe abominations. Eventually he will find his own mother, the only person in the world he truly cares about, torn in half thanks to the plotting of said being.

In short, a world full of youkai and crime isn't going to be that much of a change for him.

FACTION SUITABILITY:

The Shuten Clan - For the majority of his life Junpei was as far from a fighter as you could get. He’s a quiet, non-confrontational nerd for the most part and would just allow himself to be beaten up because he knew fighting back was pointless.

Then he met the curse, Mahito, who unlocked his ability to summon a shikigami. Suddenly he had power; more power than his tormentors. It was the desire to have a way to fight back that made him dangerously track down Mahito in the first place after witnessing him kill with just a touch. Junpei took to his newfound ability easily, and in a short time was capable of battling another sorcerer like someone who’d been doing it for years.

While he doesn’t have much in the way of physical prowess, one could see him embracing the chance to learn fighting skills in order to have that taste of power again.

The Tamamo Clan - There wasn’t really any outlet for Junpei to explore his sexuality during his rough high school years. He’d be accused of gawking at girls by his bullies as yet another excuse to rail on him, but he never seems to show interest in sex like many teenage boys do. Therefore he’d be very much out of his element when it comes to the carnal pleasure aspects of this clan. What he can jive with is the escapism of illusions.

Being an avid movie watcher he’s no stranger to immersing himself in other realities to avoid the stresses of his own. What is an illusion but a movie you’re a part of? Like movies you get the thrill of the action with no real harm coming to you and at some point it must end. When it ends you must return to the harshness of reality, but some of the magic can linger with you.

The Sutoku Alliance- Junpei considers himself more intelligent than his peers, liking to wax philosophical in that way many drama club tier teenagers do. As such a clan that values intelligence would appeal to him, as he overall sees himself as very cerebral. While he does learn to fight through his shikigami eventually, at his core he’d probably be most comfortable in a position of strategizing over one of direct combat.

Then there’s the fact they run theaters. Movie theaters are one of Junpei’s most favorite places to be in the world, and where he spends a lot of his free time. To be associated with those in control of them would have a natural appeal to him.

The Department of the Enma- Authority figures failed Junpei right along with everyone else, turning a blind eye to his harassment and seeming happily oblivious to it. The idea of justice isn’t one he likely puts much stock in as he considers humans to be overall heartless and corrupt, and therefore the idea the system wouldn’t also be heartless and corrupt is hard to swallow.

That said, he may end up finding some comfort in even the illusion of order in the chaotic world he’s ended up in. He’s not going to be sure what to do with himself now, and out of pure discombobulation might be convinced to find some modicum of normalcy in a civil servant type of position. It’s certainly less out of left field to him to work in retail or a government office than being a hitman or a sex worker.
