masanori

story 1

A Transient from the Land of Wa and one of the eight dog warriors, bearing the Orb of Propriety. And indeed, propriety weighs heavily on his mind at all times as he perpetually finds himself philosophizing on the nature of humans versus beasts, pondering just how much of a role propriety plays in separating the two. He studiously devotes much of his time to the pursuit of literature, history, and psychology to find an answer to this riddle, and it's said that whosoever crosses wits with him for even a moment will quickly come to question everything they've ever believed in. In some circles, he's highly regarded as a mentalist, while he's also renowned for being able to trace and analyze crimes through the psychological actions and reactions of both perpetrator and victim. His abilities are so finely honed, in fact, that even among the police force, there are many who swear it's as though the souls of the dead have taken over his body and guided investigators to the smoking gun through first-hand accounts. Literature is his truest passion, however, and by his own account, he lacks the talent for writing that he desires most of all. Though born a Canis Therian, he was raised not by his parents but by Felis Therians who treated him very poorly. This has led him to harbor something of an identity crisis, forcing him to constantly question his own doghood. Ultimately, Masanori seeks an unchanging constancy in an ever-changing world, and it's clear this is a pursuit he will never call off, even as the world turns topsy-turvy around him

story 2

Masanori's Sacred Artifact is a standard-length Dagger with a sheath made of the same sort of silvervine wood often used for catnip. Its Rule can call forth the memories of beasts who've died and have them possess targeted hosts, which he uses in combat to sic the Felis Therians who raised him upon his unsuspecting foes. This causes these foes to experience identity crises similar to his own, but with an immediate onset that essentially destroys them from within. In terms of the Game, Masanori belongs to the Invaders guild, where it seems so many of the most popular, influential, and gregarious individuals from each of the 24 worlds flock. Of particular note are the officers, whose proclamations resound throughout Tokyo almost as soon as they're made. Only the Akihabara Creators can match this level of clout, though theirs is of a notably different flavor. And Masanori's clout and influence are of a different flavor still, as he is a bona fide necromancer, with his dealings existing primarily in the domain of demons. As such, he has a particular weakness toward silver bullets, which are made almost specifically to deal with his like

story 3

Each Valentine's Day, Masanori Daikaku Inumura's mind drifts to his beloved from a former life, who swore everlasting devotion to him; show him a flower, and he will be reminded of the flower-shaped mark on the left side of his chest, which serves almost like a seal upon his heart for the more painful memories he bears of that lost love. His entire purpose in studying literature and psychology has been to understand in retrospect the thoughts and feelings of his departed other half, though it is only regret he earns from these pursuits—regret that despite his ever-increasing renown as a mentalist in Tokyo, he simply cannot piece together what truly lay in the heart of the person once closest to him. This leaves him hesitant to grow as close with anyone else ever again, yet he nonetheless feels etiquette demands he show a certain someone a proper good time on Valentine's Day. And should that certain someone proclaim to have fallen for him, it would no doubt taste as sweet as the finest chocolate... but bitter, too, and perhaps in even greater proportion. Such a complex flavor profile, yet enticing nonetheless! Perfect to share with the apples of his eye, both past and present alike."
