Character age: Ageless, but looks to be in his late-twenties
Job: Fire Safety
Canon: Yami no Matsuei is a story about Gods of Death, also known as Shinigami, whose job it is to make sure that the souls of the dead arrive when and where they're supposed to. If they don't, the Shinigami are sent to the Human World to investigate and solve any problems or cases that arise. Shinigami are able to summon Shikigami, or gods rather, to help them fight. Shikigami can take either the form of a human or the form of a beast; in Touda's case, that being a giant, black, winged serpent of fire. He is also the only Shikigami capable of actually killing a Shinigami because of the immense heat and power of his fire.
Before becoming one of Tsuzuki's twelve Shikigami, Touda was betrayed and imprisoned for several hundred years for committing false 'crimes.' Without any contact to the outside world, he vowed revenge until Tsuzuki came along and rescued him. Because of this, he calls himself 'Tsuzuki's property' will always take Tsuzuki's orders very seriously. The only problem with that is that he'll only do just as Tsuzuki asks. For example, he's perfectly willing to kill Tsuzuki if so ordered, but he will neither kill nor save anyone on his own. All of that aside, Touda is a rather quiet, serious person with little to no tact. He never minces words and always says exactly what's on his mind.
Sample post:
According to the letter I received from Tsuzuki on the behalf of one Madame Director, I have been hired to teach you children about fire safety. And apparently, I "have to come to camp because it really, really needs my help. And sugar. And alcohol. But mostly sugar." Why pink sparkles, Tsuzuki? Why?
Moving right along, though. My name is Touda and since this is supposed to be a summer camp for 'kids,' we might as well start off with the basics. Don't set things on fire. 'Things' includes people, animals, buildings, the forest, and anything that is generally flammable. It really is just that simple. And despite certain misconceptions a few of you may have, fire is not, in fact, fun for the whole family. It would behoove you to just not do it. It saves me a headache and everyone else a world of pain.
Now, for those of you that have ignored my first point, we will continue on to the next one. How to put out fires. You have several options for this. If the fire is small enough, smothering it with dirt, sand or even blankets is one easy method. Fire extinguishers, if available, are another. But please do not spray your fellow campers with them. That is unacceptable and dangerous. Fire extinguishers are a tool, not a toy. Magic is also an easy way for those so inclined. And last but not least, water. Using a hose is preferable. Buckets are another option, albeit a slower and less efficient one. The water from the lake, however, is NOT suitable for putting out fires. It only spreads them. I've, ah, tried that already. And as a last resort, pissing out fires is also acceptable. Note that this should only be done by those with excellent aim and confidence in their skills. Those without would do well to run because no one wants to lose a valuable part of their anatomy that way.
And now for the most important point of all. Don't be a hero. If a fire gets too out of control, call for help or run. Because if you fail at any of these points and end up dead...well. Better luck next time. If you absolutely cannot control yourselves and must set fire to something, though, I would prefer it be the wandering dead. There are plenty around and they will continue to burn for quite some time. Hopefully, that will keep you occupied for a few hours. Now, if you have any questions, you are always free to ask. I cannot, however, guarantee that I will answer. And in all seriousness, if you see someone on fire, do not point and laugh. It really isn't all that funny and it is ineffective in helping the situation.
