Birth of the Kimuchi and the Ledgend"...The call of death, Most can not resist it. Warriors embrace it, the weak fear it. The strong of will resist it and some seek to bargan with it. Gods of death no matter the variation love to bargan. Weighing not coin or metal but souls and eternity. On her death bed, a young woman awaites the chilled hands death, her family surrounds her, they weap only for her. Sickness has wraped its cruel hands arround the girls life. Death is not happy, the girl he says was not yet ment to die, but sickness scoffs and snears at deaths design. His eyes blister with delight in the kink in the death gods plan. The girl coughs, her mother reaches for her child. Over head Death watches, his anger with sickness is beyond compare. Such a vial deity he was, but death being death was not one to be underminded, his plans had been for countless centuries undesturbed and untouched, then he thought. a new plan, built arround the current affair. A look was given to sickness that made him shiver, Death was the only god whom set fear into the other deitys for it was by his will alone that they lived their imortal lives. Death opens his book, he turned to the girls devine plan andbegan to write. Sickness scoffed while Death reveled in his victory and with out a word, the girl exhaled her last breath. The family cried, the lights dimed. Now she gazed upon her self, her eyes takeing in the sight. Bewilderment, fear, confusion it all asailed her mind at once. Then they greated her, the two gods side by side, sickness made little acknowlagement but Death greated her with his vial voice. His words twisted into her ears and arround her mind. Immortality, beauty unending. Like all youths, she was blind by personal desire even in death. Befor Death could finish the deal, she accepted. The deal was solid, Breakable by only death him self, He spoke to her once more, his dark and vial voice outlineing her role among the immortals. and as the horns graced her forhead he uttered only a singel word..."Kimuchi" and handed her the first yottsu yaiba ono..
"What is a Kimuchi?"..Kimuchi are surrounded in ledgends. The exact origin of this demon is not known. Tales of the Kimuchi spred from the far east to the west. Though its often speculated the Kimuchi hail from the east but no matter what version of the story, the Kimuchi always server one purpose, to serve as the hunters of death. Though not a direct god/godess of death, the Kimuchi is given the power to take the life of only those it is sent for and guide the soul to the afterlife. Its rare that Kimuchi are sent to harvest a soul, only once every few hundred years does someone prove to be of a strong enouph will to defie the call of death.
"The yottsu yaiba ono"...yottsu yaiba ono or four blade axe is the tool of a Kimuchi, as important to the duties of a Kimuchi as the Scyth and book of the dead are to the death god him self, the yottsu yaiba ono also serves one other purpose beside giveing the Kimuchi power over life and death and that is to pull from the body, the immortal soul. Each yottsu yaiba ono is adroned with two "seirei hokku" or spirit hooks, befor the given person is killed, the yottsu yaiba ono is turned upside down and the seirei hokku are then plunged into the still liveing body and riped out, removeing the soul from its earthly vesel. This is a process known simply as the "seirei minori" or spirit harvest
"Seirei Minori"...Seirei Minori or spirit harvest is the process of seperateing the soul from body. Death him self, after realizeing the power of the Kimuchi placed into Kimuchi life one rule, to never use seri minori upon anyone other than those they are sent for. Ment only for the removal of the soul from the body, it is in the end lethal. The Kimuchi are bound to the nobel traditon of combat, the yottsu yaiba ono is quite capeable of being fended off as if it where a mortal blade with te exception of the Seirei Minori, in this instance, the yottsu yaiba ono becomes untouchable. It is for this reason that Death restricted its use..However, few Kimuchi have gone against Deaths will and used Seirei Minori out of anger resulting in the Kimuchis death as well as the victems.
"Akai Shikyo Kessetsu"...Akai Shikyo Kessetsu or red death knot serves only one purpose among the Kimushi, and that is to mark them as Deaths servents. No matter which region a Kimushi comes from they all wear matching akai shikyo kessetsu arround their shoulders, back, waist, and hips.
+She has traveled many lands and lived countless ages, considered ancient even among ancients, the Kimuchi is one of the eldest demons in the service of the god of Death. Befor man gave birth to reason, and politics silinced the warrior spirit, the Kimuchi was worshiped, her strength and skill made warriors pray for her blessing and also feared they day she came for their soul and offer one last fight befor guideing them into the great beyond. But now, the praying had stoped, the battles fewer and less grand. there where no more final battles to be offered and Kimuchi faded from the pages of history into the forgotten reaches of lore. When the god of Death had grown weary and casted his gaze from those who served him to the souls of the mundane who seeped in with each passing day, the once revered but now forgoteen Kimuchi sliped into the world of the liveing. some three hundred years had passed since she last came to this world. IT had changed so much since then,kingdoms had risen and fallen, new towns had been built andshe now found her self with in the land of golden horn. Curiosity had long since taken hold of the demon and compelled her to wonder the land. It was Kencha she first happened upon, the mountain region was beautiful, the forests vibrant and alive with the sounds of life and the keep..full of spirit. It was the lady Avariannah whom befriended the old demon first and then the ranger lord Aegis. Both welcomed her into their lands and by chance persuaded her with a show of kindness to join the kingdom. Silma and her love where the next to befirend Kimuchi, their kindness as well won the demon over and where added to the seemingly growing list of friends. Shuku was next, the small elf though hyper and quirky, as well found a place in the Demons heart. Still she continues to wonder from her new home in Kencha to the lands of golden horn. Her next stop is unknown, but will greet all with a smile and a bow.+
