Himiko (Character)
Character Backstory
The Golden Liner
Further Information: 禊
Himiko is the founder of the Umegiri family, and their greatest arch-enemy for centuries. The primary mission of the Umegiri bloodline is to prevent Himiko's resurrection. At an unknown time over 1800 years ago, a life form that crossed time and space and descended to Earth along with the demon known as "Jashino Orochi". About 1800 years ago, she started calling herself "Himiko," and sent people to conduct human body remodeling experiments. Through manipulation, she took control of the local region of Yamatai-koku.
She gathered warriors from all over the region, and performed the secret art of "Blood Magatama", "creating" twenty-six warriors in the process. However, just as she was about to conquer Japan, she was killed by the twenty-six warriors led by Ichiyo (who's name means "the first"), the one who shared her blood with Himiko the most. Under the twenty-sixth moon, the twenty-six warriors opened the door to the "Divine Realm", an alternate space deep within the lunar crust where the main source of Himiko's power is located, and performed a sealing ritual on her using all of their life force.
Himiko's body in Divine Realm was pierced thousands of times, which dispersed Himiko's spiritual power and sealed her so that she could not revive. Due to the actions and power of this seal (known to the Kanzaki family as the "Shadow Pillar"), descendants of the twenty-six warriors, such as the Umegiri family and the Kanzaki family, have access to superhuman and magical abilities that are impossible for normal humans to perform.
As it turns out, the name of the entity that fell to Earth from an alternate space-time was "Amterum Ohmicum."
