HISTORY

Junpei was raised primarily by his mother, his father having left when he was a child. He was a quiet but bright boy with a passion for movies, especially those in the horror genre.

When he started a film club in high school, a group of bullies came to force him and his friends to give up the room. When Junpei showed defiance, he became a target for frequent, violent bullying at their hands. His friends abandoned him. Teachers ignored the attacks. He became bitter and cynical towards humanity, deciding his ideal would be indifference rather than love or hate.

One day while in a theater he saw three of his tormentors get turned into horrific, twisted abominations by a mysterious man covered in stitches. He chased after the man, following him into an alley. When the man asked if those he'd killed had been dear to Junpei, the boy was filled with anger. He asked the man to show him how he could also destroy with a touch.

ABILITIES

Moon Dregs The curse Mahito changed the physiology of Junpei’s brain, making him capable of harnessing cursed energy. This cursed energy ended up manifesting in the form of a jellyfish shikigami called Moon Dregs that Junpei can summon in a weak form at will via thought, and in a more powerful form via a specific hand sign.

Moon Dregs can use its tentacles to both paralyze and inject poison. The poison will leave a quickly spreading rash on the victims that resembles the cigarette burns found on Junpei's forehead. When not in combat it tends to be the size of a regular jellyfish, but it can grow to the size of a large truck and is capable of easily lifting humans and similarly sized objects.

MONSTER

appearance & BEHAVIOR

Junpei's monster form is that of a kraken, although one could be forgiven if at first upon seeing him they question if he's a living being at all or an eight foot tall ball of seaweed. Most of the time, when at rest or simply trying to remain inconspicuous, his entire face and most of his body is obscured by a tangle of constantly writhing tentacles in a dull brown color. When he is on the hunt, however, the color changes to a brilliant neon blue with streaks of yellow in a way reminiscent of his own jellyfish shikigami (example). Only once the curtain of tentacles rises can it be seen that he does indeed have a face - although it's being charitable to call it such. There is a single large, unblinking eye on his head, but it is otherwise featureless, the skin smooth and matching whatever color his tentacles are at the moment. One will not find a mouth until they travel midway down the still vaguely humanoid body of the creature, around where his stomach would have been were he still a human being. The mouth resembles more of a gaping hole filled with dagger-like teeth than what most would consider an actual mouth.

In spite of what his outward appearances might suggest when he's at rest, he can move blindingly swiftly, the longer tentacles being able to shoot out several feet in front of him and pull him forward on land and propel him even quicker when in water. Having so many prehensile limbs also makes it incredibly easy to quickly grab objects and people and bring them to himself, the grip on the thicker tentacles being strong enough to even subdue a creature the size of a rhinoceros when working together. Considering he has an insatiable appetite in this form, this ability is often executed to pull prey to their end. Several of these tentacles also function as a hectocotylus, or 'mating arm', which if in the proper mood he will attempt to use to inseminate whatever orifice he can find that will accommodate them.

The creature carries the seed of disdain Junpei has for humanity, blossoming into a beast that simply takes what it wants and has no care for the effects on others, living a purely animalistic existence. This is perhaps the ultimate realization of what Mahito advised him - that there is no meaning in life, it just is, and nothing should stop him from doing whatever his emotions desire.
