NAME:
Kuruma
MEANING:
Japanese for wheel (and car, apparently)
AGE:
Younger than Yamari, older than everyone else
HEIGHT/WEIGHT:
5'11/ 130 lbs when fully formed (spends most of his time with his lower
half as black mist)
LIKES:
Jewelry (especially for his hands--slave bracelets, rings, but he's also
fond of collars/chokers/necklaces), his job sometimes, spicy food, hugs
from Sattva :3
DISLIKES:
His job most of the time, general social interaction
Kuruma
was created by Yamari to guard the dharma wheels. He is jaded and
cynical due to aeons of loneliness and watching the lives and atrocities
of others, but at the same time remarkably innocent and naive, having never
actually experienced anything he's witnessed. He possesses few social
skills, but at the same time he's sensitive and somewhat thin-skinned.
Kuruma's
true form is an amorphous black mist; he tends to revert to it when he's
feeling lazy or very upset. He can form his mist into whatever he
likes, which is why jewelry of various types often appears and disappears
on his body. :3; |
NAME:
Sattva
MEANING:
From bodhisattva (Buddhist saints/angels)
AGE:
18
HEIGHT/WEIGHT:
5'8 / 137 lbs
LIKES:
Blood, death, mayhem, gory horror movies, cute fashion accessories
DISLIKES:
Insects, self-righteousness, arrogance
Sattva
is the soul under Kuruma's protection. She doesn't take anything
seriously, and her sense of humor is rather morbid. She doesn't see
anything wrong with the various crimes against humanity she commits in
her early lives, nor she does she see anything wrong with using violence
to make a point. Or using violence for any reason at all really.
However,
she's fiercely loyal and caring (in a sense). At first she's wary
of Kuruma and his intention of turning her into a scarab beetle, but eventually
she becomes very protective of him (especially where Yamari is involved). |
NAME:
Yamari; Yamatanka; Vajrabhairava
MEANING:
Yama's enemy, he who ends Yama; terrifying (respectively) [yama is the
god of death]
AGE:
Older than you, that's for sure
HEIGHT/WEIGHT:
6'1 / 150 lbs
LIKES:
Himself, peace and happiness, unquestioning obedience
DISLIKES:
Insubordination
Yamari
is one of eight dharma-pala, gods who protect Buddhism. He likes
it when people do what he says. Shortening his name to 'Yam' or 'Yama'
will result in suffering. For you. And your family. |
NAME:
P. Sinclair, esq.
MEANING:
Sinclair is a place name meaning 'St. Clair,' he hates his first name and
refuses to use it.
AGE:
27
HEIGHT/WEIGHT:
5'10 / 147 lbs
LIKES:
Guns, money, stamp collecting, collecting in general
DISLIKES:
Being touched, dealing with the public, society as a whole, whining
Sinclair
is a successful businessman with a fondness for the occult and occasionally
killing people. He was born and raised in England, but he moved to
the States to attend college. Very little of his accent remains.
He's
articulate, intelligent, and meticulous, and well-read. He loves
collecting things, including such things as Beanie Babies (though he would
never admit it, he has a sizable stock). He lives in a mansion on
the edge of a town called Vinton. |
NAME:
Mayavada
MEANING:
'Doctrine of illusion'
AGE:
Appears about 25
HEIGHT
/ WEIGHT: 6'3 / 160 lbs
LIKES:
Black and white clothing, mind games, theological literature
DISLIKES:
Absolutes
Mayavada
is Sinclair's secretary, though this job has recently meant burying corpses
rather than taking memos. He can be a bit cranky, and he tends to
lose his composure easily though he tries to act cool. However, as
his name suggests, he's not quite what he seems... |
NAME:
Metea
MEANING:
Greek for 'gentle'
AGE:
20
HEIGHT
/ WEIGHT: 5'7 / 140 lbs
LIKES:
Drumming, baking, nursery rhymes, death metal, fishnets, purple makeup
DISLIKES:
White lies, generalizations, clutter
The
drummer for Sattva's 'rock star' incarnation. Caring, sharp, and
outspoken, Metea's differentiated from the other players in Sattva's lives
because she actually seems to know something about her (his in this incarnation)
predicament. Metea has a very gentle and loving, motherly nature,
but she doesn't take crap, although she is fairly forgiving. |
MINOR
CHARACTERS
DUKKHA:
Another creation of Yamari's, but unlike Kuruma, he has no free will.
This does not mean he is without emotion, but most of what he feels is
subdued by the influence of Yamari's control. He has eerie orange
eyes, pinkish peach hair, dark skin and disturbingly sharp teeth.
NEMO:
First appeared here.
Nemo was a homeless waif that was eventually killed by Sinclair (though
not before Sinclair fed him a lovely last meal). Like Sinclair's
other victims, Nemo's soul was extracted from his body and placed inside
a crystal. It was his dharma wheel that Sattva noticed as having
stopped. However, by the time she noticed, the crystal had already
been sold. Since Sinclair's crystals are quite fragile, it did not
take long for the crystal to shatter and the wheel's movement to resume.
NATHANIEL:
Called 'Ni.' The keyboardist for Thanatos, Ni paints his face like
a clown and goes onstage shirtless for performances, but in actuality he
wears glasses and is fond of cardigans. His vision is extremely poor,
but he's able to get away without his glasses on stage (his eyes are too
sensitive for contacts) because of his detailed knowledge of his equipment.
Ni is bright and kind, but sometimes not terribly aware of the world around
him.
GABRIEL:
The guitarist and backup singer for Thanatos. Gabriel likes to wear
the strangest combinations of clothing possible, such as vests over sheer,
skintight shirts. He often wears a cross because he and his family
are devoted Catholics (he has five brothers and sisters), but despite (or
perhaps because of) his strong beliefs he is very tolerant of other ideas.
Easygoing but observant, Gabriel tends to become aggravated mostly by Sattva's
telepathic talks with Kuruma--again, despite his religious beliefs, he
is a realist, and finds Sattva's mutterings to his 'muse' somewhat
disturbing.
