Characters Page. Hound (Kuei-jin Akuma, Searing Wind) Description: Outsider. Gaijin. Mad? The one known as Hound in the west,
Akuma Gou, ye liang xin in the east, strikes an imposing figure. Towering over even
westerners, he was taken as a giant in his homelands of Vietnam and Korea. His soul,
half oriental, found itself cursed with the body of his occidental self. His dead
body, only slightly better suited to Yin, was healthy in life, Limber, well muscled,
and capable of sustained exertion. With a prominant figure, he naturally moves with
the self assured confidence of one willing to obtain his desire by any means. Absolutely
any means. His demenor, as suiting a cleaved
soul, is at times so simple and direct as to be crude, and at others, so reasoned
and poetic as a scholor. The world finds him disturbing, by dint of his constant
nihilistic facination with the morbid. This facination ranges from the mortal dead,
to poison, to weaponry, to the kindred he lives among. Background: Heyuri Renoki was an innocent child
when the vietcong killed his family, and inducted him into their services. After
several years of indoctrination, his mind was gripped by their propaganda machine,
and he became precisely what they wanted him to be. A hardened soul, willing to
kill for the state. If anything, his fellow geurillas were disturbed by his zealous
fanaticism, his devotion to killing the 'barbarian dogs'. Even as Robert Bolten was drafted
into the United States military, Renoki was discarding the last of his moral inhibitions
in geurilla warfare. They both thrived in their new enviroments. Robert, on the
refined asian mysticism and philosophy as he recieved training in Saigon. Renoki
on the chance to kill, again and again, those he had been taught to hate. It was a cruel twist of fate that
death should met them both in a single appointment. Soon after Robert was sent, 'condemned'
as he put it, to the front, his squad encountered a geurilla ambush. Renoki, displaying
an almost otherworldly tenacity, survived in the midst of a raging firefight, even
as Robert Bolten confronted the harsh realities of war. Renoki fell upon him, a
knife in one hand, a live grenade in the other. In his trademark execution, Renoki
cut a deep gash in Robert's chest, and prepared to thrust the grenade into it, when
a morter threw them both to the ground. The grenade detonated in Renoki's hand,
mangling his body. In a desperate attempt to live, Renoki's Hun, his higher self,
interned itself in Robert's corpse. While both of their P'os, their inner
demons awakened by the conflict, decended to the Yomi world. Hell. As two demons,
they distinguished themselves as gladiators in the arena of the Yama kings. They
were called to an audiance with Hen Ju Togu, a lesser Yama king. There, Hen Ju Togu made a decree. "I will bind you together, and
make you stronger. Then, I will break you to my will, until you are nothing more
than my hunting hound." It was so done. Character Perceptions:
