Tower of Animus information for app
Character Name: Taiki (also Takasato Kaname or Kouri)
Character Series: 12 Kingdoms
Character Age: 10
Personality: If Taiki was writing a report on his life he would conclude "could do better". Taiki is a Kokki a black Kirin, rare and beautiful hs coming said to bring joy. He is also a Taika his Ranka lost in a storm called a shoku and taken to Hourai- our world. He grew up feeling different and always not good enough. Never able to fit in at school, constantly drawing his grandmothers ire, knowing his mothers tears were caused by him. When he was finally found and taken back to mount Hou everything made sense; he had never been a part of that family. He wasn't human thats why he never felt like he belonged.
However the feeling of inadequecy never left him- even causing him to doubt that he was a Kirin at all. Kirin spend their first five years in Kirin form, able to transform into human form after a couple of years and slowly able to maintain it for longer. Using the yellow sea they tame Shirei to protect them. Everything they do is instinctive. Not so for Taiki. He does not know how to transform to Kirin form, his attempts at catching Sjirei are unsucessful.
Because other Kirin do those things by instinct no one quite knew how to explain things to him- indeed he spends a long time believing he is suposed to transform into a giraffe! This depends his confusion and feelings of inadequecy. The sages ask Keiki to come and help Taiki, since he is the next youngest Kirin and they believe it will help Keiki to better understand others. However at first Keiki, infamous for not quite explaining himself only makes things worse. Over time though they become friends and Taiki announces that he always knew Keiki was kind.
Even when he meets his king he does not recognise the revelation and mistakes it for fear. Even after he aknowledges him as kind he believes he has done if for selfish reasons and has gone against the will of the gods. He is terrfied that the gods will punish Gyousou and it is a long time before he can even tell Keiki what he has done.
Even without knowing or believing that Gyousou is the king his feelings towards him bring out his Kirin instincts, in order to protect him he binds a toutetsou youma; so powerful that most Kirin could not survive an enounter with one, however Taiki has extraordinary willpower when it comes to protecting others and binds Gouran to his will. When Gyousou is leaving the mountain Taiki's urge to go after him forces him to transorm for the first time. Yet he still doubts himself. He is a very timid boy- he is immortal and will become unaging once he has reached Kirin maturity but he really is still just ten years old. He tends to assume everything is his fault and will apologise unecessarily, he shows his emotions clearly, often crying when he is afraid or sad.
Abilities: Like all Kirin in the twelve kingdoms Taiki has a mixture of abilities. He is immortal and unaging, normal weapons cannot kill him- though beheading him can. His health is linked to his monarch and country; meaning if his king is bad for the country Taiki will be struck down by a disease called Shitsodou.
As previously mentioned Taiki did not grow up in Kirin form, and so only has his Nyokai - a nursemaid demon, his is called Haku Sanshi, and a very powerful Toutetsou Youma called Gouran which often takes the form of a small dog, but in battle can be a giant wolf. These Shirei are vital as Kirin abhor conflict, get weak and dizy at the sight and smell of blood and are physically incapable of violence even to protect their monarch. They make a pact with these shirei- the demons agree to protect and obey them and in return on the kirin's death they consume the body and gain power.
When Taiki is in Kirin form he can fly, is fast and can move through solid material. He can also do simple divination and create small storms between his world and our world but this will not work in Animus since it is not of either world.
