Character Name: Sugino
Series: Tactics
Character Age: A few centuries at least, looks around 24
Job: Interim God of the Volcano
Canon: Ever since he was a boy, Ichinomiya Kantarou has been able to see youkai and make friends with them. But the one he really wanted to make friends with was the legendary oni-eating tengu. After many years of searching, Kantarou finally finds the oni-eating tengu, breaks the seal on him, and gives him the name Haruka. Then they lived happily bitchily ever after :). The story follows Kantarou and Haruka as they go about dealing with youkai problems, failing to make money, and sometimes being attacked by mysterious groups with mysterious motives. One not so mysterious person who occasionally breaks into their house to mooch off of them is Sugino.
Sugino is another tengu (bird youkai), and the resident “god” of the mountains near Sugino village. While that may sound impressive and awe-inspiring, Sugino himself could best be described as derisive, loud and often very irritating. As a white tengu who used to be human himself, Sugino makes no secret of his dislike for humans and is vehement about keeping humans and youkai separate. Even when he’s not on the subject of humans, Sugino has a habit of being smug and disdainful. The only times he tones it down are when talking to Haruka, or with his “wife” Muu-chan, a little green youkai he carries with him everywhere and dotes on to ridiculously sappy effect. Pain in the ass though he is, Sugino does - occasionally - help our heroes out with things, and he can have good moods. Just don't provoke him if you value your eardrums.

Ugh, this is the pits. It figures that that stupid Kantarou would have to drag Oni-Eater out here - who the hell would want to visit this dump? Even an idiot can tell that no one cares about the upkeep of the woods or the mountains. There are festering humans drowning in festering holes in a festering swamp! Just where did the last caretaker god think he was off to, leaving it in a state like this? Whoever it was needed to do more than just vanish and leave a note behind. “Gone apocalypsin’” doesn’t cut it! Well, if this Cthulhu guy ever comes back, he can keep his lousy volcano.
But since I had to make a deal just to break into this place, you’d better believe there’ll be changes. If I’m going to be your volcano’s interim god, I expect proper worshipping from all you humans. And you know what, I’ve been here five minutes and you’re already doing it wrong. I don’t want your disgusting rotten limbs and eyeballs, who’d take that as an offering? The only thing being sacrificed here is my decency and sense of smell. Get rid of them, dump them in the lake or something. Go dunk yourselves in there while you’re at it, even I think humans look better when they’re not green. It’s not even a nice green like Muu-chan, is it, my darling? ♥
And while you’re paying attention, which one of you named the volcano? Mount Neverest is just about the dumbest name I’ve ever heard; it’s not even that big, so stop exaggerating. This pissy little thing is more of a molehill than a mountain, but it suits the place. Once you’ve scrubbed that green off, someone pick a new name for it. Yeah, I heard what the name of the area is-- don’t use that language in front of my wife. It’s not good enough for any mountain I preside over, so I’ll take suggestions now. No, not you, come back when you have the rest of your face. Groaning isn’t a name. Okay, you, speak up and make some sense… “Pompous”?! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROB--
Oh, “Pompeii”? Okay, whatever, that works. I can’t see how that one could go wrong. See, this stuff isn’t hard. Just treat your god with the proper respect and this place’ll be less of a nightmare in no time. It’ll still be a dump, though; this place is beyond even my help. But maybe it will clean up enough to stop rotting the skin right off you. Humans really are miserable sometimes. Don’t groan at me, you brought it on yourselves. And keep your hands away from my robes. Don’t even think about touching Muu-chan, or all bets are off! You’re not getting anything from us, especially not whatever you’re grumbling about--huh. “Bird brain”, is it?
Muu-chan, I know might doesn’t make right… but I think ‘smite’ could make right with these guys.
