Satsukami

Satsukami is a fanmade character. By species, he is a Guilmon, and his name is Satsukami.
In Japanese, his name is 殺神, which literally translates to "Killing God" or "God of Killing", with 殺 meaning 'to kill', and 神 meaning 'God'.
Satsukami's eyes are often black, but if angered and/or in a mood to kill, they will be red.
Satsukami's favorite singers and bands are Slayer, KoRN, Godsmack and GG Allin. Though he hates GG Allin as a person, he enjoys some (but definitely not all) of his songs.
Satsukami's favorite songs are "I Hate You" by Slayer, "Payback" by Slayer, "I Don't Want to Hear It" by Slayer, "I Fucking Hate You" by Godsmack, "Right Now" by KoRN, "I Hate People" by GG Allin, "Legalize Murder" by GG Allin, "Shoot, Knife, Strangle, Beat, Crucify" by GG Allin.
Outside of killing and singing songs, his other hobbies are gambling to get money, playing Hanafuda, going to places that have arcade machines, and writing his own songs, singing them in a closed and private place. (Since as an introverted person, Satsukami does not want public nor audience)
==Personality==
By personality, Satsukami is introverted, solitary, harsh, ruthless, serious, short-tempered, impatient, and easy to piss off. He is a murderous Digimon who believes in Social Darwinism, "the weak die, the strong live" mindset, though he mostly applies it to the battlefield and not real life. He does not discriminate nor judge by gender, killing men and women that provoke him into it. He does have his moments of peace and being in a good mood, but he is still a very impatient type of person. Satsukami values his solitude too much, not interested in the idea of building relationships or sex, seeing friendship as "for the weak", and saying that he actually feels happy on his own, not lonely.
Nonetheless, despite not being interested in relationships nor friendships, Satsukami can value calm and non-nosey people that will leave him alone without annoying him, intentionally or not, saying they are "worthy of living" or "worthy of sparing/being spared".
Though Satsukami enjoys killing and often feels no guilt nor remorse about lives he has taken, he often won't kill if in a good mood, and will spare his opponents but warn them to not fight or piss him off again, since next time, death is certain. Satsukami says that the people he killed "brought it on themselves", showing that he doesn't feel remorse nor guilt.
Satsukami's murders are slow and painful, commenting that he "wants his victims to be aware of what they did first before they die", he inflicts pain on those who provoked him, in hopes of them learning to not provoke him. If they show no remorse for their actions or if they are not scared of death, Satsukami will kill them. But if they PROMISE to leave him alone and not bother him again, Satsukami will spare them although be a bit more wary, since he does not spare twice.
Despite his love for killing, Satsukami detests rapists and would personally go out to kill them without second thought, remorse nor guilt, he'd abandon his honor to kill a rapist, and he feels horrible when a rapist gets away with rape. Satsukami would never commit rape, he comments that it physically, emotionally and mentally destroys people. Satsukami says for himself, "I may take lives, but i don't ruin them.". Considering Satsukami wants to immediately kill a rapist without any fighting or honor, he quotes, "They are not honorable. Neither should be I."
Despite his killings, Satsukami CAN show an emotional, merciful and calm side. If he runs into a mother who lost her underage child, and she says that she lost her child, he will cry genuine tears and refuse to kill her, quoting "It is better to die a peaceful death than to live a life full of never-ending emptiness that never goes away.", but if the mother asked him to kill her, he would do it, although painlessly. Despite being remorseless and not feeling guilt for his killings, he feels sad for kids that died, and people that died from suicide and possible depression since he sees depression as a serious thing.
Satsukami, as strange as that may sound, actually takes depression seriously, and how it affects people, their mood and things they enjoy. He does not blame nor shame them for being depressed. This implies that, if Satsukami was not murderous and hating of others, he could be a very compassionate person.
Satsukami calls himself "brutally honest", and he is honest about things he likes and dislikes, he will sometimes say truth as it is. Satsukami dislikes liars, manipulators and backstabbers, he admits that he is not a good person, though he makes no excuses nor justifications for it, he says "It's better to be honest to someone than to lie, manipulate, deceive and backstab them.", despite not liking others, Satsukami won't manipulate nor lie to anyone about anything. It is said for him, "If he were not a bad person, he'd be hated for his honesty instead.".
Satsukami would often beat up an annoying child to teach them that actions have consequences and that they cannot get away with bad behavior, but he would never kill a child. Not even in the heat of the moment.
Satsukami's reasoning for not killing kids is more out of emotional response, not just honor. He says that "kids are at the beginning of their lives, childhood is the most important stage of the life", so he does not want to take a life of a child, regardless of how annoying they can be. In fact, Satsukami even trained some kids to stand up for themselves and have self-respect, to not let bullies take advantage of them, and has even helped some lost kids get back to their family members or friends if they have no family. Even if the short-tempered and aggressive Satsukami isn't known for patience and kindness, funny enough, he tries to be patient towards kids that approach him, and to look out for them. Nonetheless, he would teach a child some harsh truths (like the fact that nice words cannot stop a bully), but, as contradicting that is, he would NEVER encourage nor tell a child to commit murder, since he does not want children to be murderers since it'll mess with their minds. He says that he wants children to look back on their past with proud faces, not regrets. Amusingly, Satsukami was hugged several times by some children.
Satsukami dislikes most of elders, and does not feel bad about killing them if they provoke him. He quotes, "There is nothing to feel bad about in killing elders. It's not like they want to live anyway!".
Satsukami can show honor in battles. He would never attack from the back, he wouldn't kill a sick, hurt or sleeping person, a pregnant woman, a child, or anyone who is not aware of his presence, he hates cheating, and prefers to fight those who are at full strength, he quotes that "a fight should be between two healthy people at full strength who are aware of each other's presences". Other than honor, this also makes him different from other killers who often kill people who aren't aware of their presence, and even kill someone that did nothing to them, while Satsukami mostly kills those who pissed him off and those who commit rape. Satsukami comments that, even if he enjoys killing, he doesn't want "bloodshed for the sake of bloodshed", meaning he does not want to kill without a reason.
Satsukami wrongly thinks he hates extroverts, but in reality, he does not. He hates double standards, how extroverts get away with things and misdeeds introverts would be hated for, how people think extroversion makes someone "special" and that introversion makes someone less "special", and people who are different for the sake of being different without having any meaningful message.
Satsukami is asexual and aromantic, though he is not interested in sex, he detests those who sexually objectify others. Satsukami admits that some people or beings (for example, an Eevee, a Patamon, and so on) are cute, but he says good looks won't save anyone from death, showing that he judges others by how they behave, not how they look.
Satsukami's favorite food is turkey, lobster, spicy noodles, diavola pizza. He often likes to eat spicy food, but he can also enjoy non-spicy food. (He even immediately ate spicy noodles after a diavola pizza, and he didn't feel like it was too spicy or anything, showing that he can tolerate spicy food) His favorite beverages are Pepsi, hot chocolate, sake.
==Past==
Satsukami was born on June 9, 1700. His mother gave him a harsh name, Satsukami, it was obvious she did not like him much. His mother says that he was born accidentally.
Since his mother (Growlmon by species, named Shina Kibagami) was a prostitute who had different partners, Satsukami never knew who his biological father was. Even so, he watched for his mother.
As a young Gigimon, Satsukami often got into life-or-death situations, which made him train more, making him stronger than most baby and young Digimon. Nonetheless, despite his shocking and gory experiences, Satsukami cared for his mother, despite her neglecting him, and being against him most of times.
His mother was against him, she would side against him even if he were innocent, and she would yell at him over every small mistake. Though Satsukami was deeply hurt by this, he hid it.
The day that would change everything came, as Satsukami hit 10, and he was a small but not fully developed Guilmon. Just a child. His mother brought a client. (the client was a Greymon) Day passed as Satsukami was outside, but as he was returning home on the night, he saw his mother's client abusing her and beating her. Horrified, Satsukami rushed and quickly murdered her abusive partner, saving his mother's life. But his mother was not happy about this. As Satsukami was about to leave, his mother attacked him, leaving a scar on his back. Satsukami turned his back in shock.
"You are the same as your murderous father... You should have never been born."
She raised her claw, about to kill her son... Reacting in time, and unable to think right from the stressful "kill or be killed" situation at a young age, Satsukami killed his mother in self-defense. This is possibly what made Satsukami have "the weak die, the strong live" mentality.
Though Satsukami regretted this at first, he got over it quickly, and does not miss his mother, quoting "An absence is way better than a painful presence.".
Satsukami's father, Ushi Kibagami, tried to get close to his son without his knowledge, but Shina's client killed him to prevent him from getting close to their son. Satsukami does not know about this, but due to his relationship with his mother, he has lost the desire to find out about his father. IF he knew this happened, he'd feel slightly upset, but his younger self would be devastated.
==Weapons==
Satsukami often fights with his claws, treating them as if they were a sword. Though he does have a sword which he likes, he does not use it too much, but will use it if either he wants to give someone a stylish death, or if someone pushes him to give it his all in a fight, seeing them as "worthy" of his seriousness.
==Powers and Abilities==
Being inspired by Genjuro Kibagami from Samurai Shodown, Satsukami's most of moves are inspired by Genjuro's, his usual moves from the series, but also moves from both, his Slash and Bust modes in SSIII and SSIV. Nonetheless, Satsukami has his own personality, and his own attacks.
#MugenSatsu (無限殺, Infinite Murder) Close range attack. Satsukami strucks his opponent. This attack cannot be resisted, it will affect anyone, whether they are stronger than Satsukami, a reality destroyer, an illusion remover, it has no exceptions, it will hit anyone with success if Satsukami is close enough and doesn't miss. His opponent is forced to watch forever-lasting videos of their infinite methods of dying which will never end, as they die in different ways. His opponent will feel agonizing pain every time they die in their mind. A mortal person or being will either die by mental and emotional shock or physical pain. An immortal person who cannot die will forever watch themself dying in infinite ways. In this state, his opponent cannot think about anything else, they are forced to watch themself die in infinite ways. However, this attack does have a cooldown. If Satsukami uses it, he has to wait 24 hours to use it again.
#Minagoroshi (皆殺し, Killing All) An attack that will end six and more lives at once. Even if Satsukami at best can kill five people at the same time, Minagoroshi is for when he wants to kill every opponent at once in one place in one second. The only drawbacks are; This attack won't kill people who are physically stronger than Satsukami, this works in only one place where Satsukami is and won't affect other places. For example, if Satsukami were in a court, he could kill everyone here in one second using his move Minagoroshi, and since court is an indoors place, no one outdoors will be affected by the attack.
==Digivolutions==
Satsukami is aware that he can Digivolve into his other, stronger forms like Growlmon, WarGrowlmon, but he prefers being in his Guilmon form until someone gives him a good challenge. Due to his anger and brutal personality, Satsukami cannot Digivolve into Gallantmon. He can evolve into Megidramon form. However, this isn't because of his violent past, but because of his personality. It's said that in a what-if? timeline/parallel universe, if Satsukami were a good person with the same past and the same scar on the back, he would be able to Digivolve into a Gallantmon due to being a good person.
==Relationships==
Due to his love for solitude, Satsukami does not have a very well developed relationship with others.
Satsukami has a deep rivalry with Zanken (斬剣) the Agumon, and wanted to personally kill him at first since Zanken was always stronger and more skilled. Their rivalry is inspired by Haohmaru and Genjuro's from Samurai Shodown, Zanken being Haohmaru, Satsukami being Genjuro. Likewise, their age gap is based on Genjuro and Haohmaru's age gap, since Genjuro is 3 years older than Haohmaru, same with Satsukami and Zanken. Satsukami used to hate Zanken due to looking like the client his mother slept with before their deaths. However, despite his hatred, Satsukami would spare Zanken if he were hurt, wanting to face him at full strength, not when injured or at disadvantage. Their rivalry came to end as in their last battle, Zanken won, fair and square. Satsukami got over his hate and started to respect Zanken, and saying that he should not hate him for looking similar to someone else, because that is not him. Zanken smiled at his words, and said he grew a lot since they first met, when Zanken was 7 years old and Satsukami was 10. However, by his wish, Zanken spared Satsukami since Satsukami wanted to fight another rival he remembered, Kyouki Himizu (日水京貴) the Gomamon before his last day. Satsukami desired one of the following ways to die; Either of natural cause by old age, or by hands of a strong opponent.
Satsukami's descendant is Getsuko Yagami, even if he knows this, he does not care for this knowledge since he is indifferent to Getsuko's existence since he doesn't see him as a challenge.
Being Embodiment of Death, Satsukami has somewhat of rivalry with Kyouki, the Embodiment of Life. On their first encounter, Satsukami won, though Kyouki gave him a good fight. Satsukami was about to kill him for losing, but Kyouki was saved by his friends. On their second encounter, they tied and thus no one was killed, which made Satsukami more desiring to fight him. On their third and last encounter, Satsukami and Kyouki fought. Since Kyouki gave him a good fight, Satsukami used his katana, since Kyouki motivated him to get serious. Satsukami took Kyouki by surprise as he sliced him, giving him a scar on the back. (Satsukami's intent wasn't to attack Kyouki from the back, but he got a scar due to small size and avoiding the attack on time) Kyouki comments, "You attacked me just like your mother attacked you", seeing similarities in his and his mother's anger. They kept fighting. But as Kyouki broke his katana, Satsukami was even more motivated. They both Digivolved into their Mega forms and fought.
Despite Kyouki disliking him and his crimes, Kyouki calls Satsukami a "flower", 'like everybody else'. Satsukami is confused but also surprised by this comment, wondering what he meant. Kyouki explains that Satsukami was not always evil, he just had a shitty past, and comments about his belief that everyone is like a flower.
"We are all like flowers. If loved and cared for, we will grow and show our potential. If not, we will wither. But us withering doesn't mean we are bad, we are just an unused potential. We all seek warmth and avoid pain, but the point is to provide that warmth. Not everyone receives warmth, but not everyone provides it either." (Quote inspired by Oscar Wilde's quote, "Whoever gives nothing has nothing. The greatest misfortune of life isn't being unloved, but not loving.".)
Satsukami is admittedly impressed. They fight, and Kyouki wins. Kyouki looks at the sky, and sees a reflection of Satsukami that could have been, a good Satsukami. Kyouki cries, as he says that Satsukami that could have been died a long time ago. Satsukami himself sees it too and cries as well. But Satsukami feels fulfilled to have died in the hands of a stronger but also better Digimon, saying "it wouldn't feel the same" if someone else killed him. Kyouki cries as he kills Satsukami, even if he does it for the sake of a better world, but Satsukami holds no grudges and accepts what he must do.

==Darwinism==
Ironic enough, even if Satsukami somewhat believes in "the weak die, the strong live", some of his actions contradict his beliefs, such as; Not wanting to kill kids, ill and asleep people.
When Satsukami visited some town and some inhabitants were confused about him not killing anyone and quoting his Darwinism mindset, even Satsukami himself felt a bit surprised since he never quostioned his weak dying and strong living mindset. He said,
"Maybe by weak dying and strong living, i mean that applies on battlefield? Like, the stronger opponent kills the weaker one. If you are strong, you fight, win and live another day. If you are weak, you lose, and losing means you die. I do not kill innocents, but anyone who pisses me off, it will be their last day."
Even with this, Satsukami also believes that in nature, weak die and strong live, since he wrongly defines cats, birds, dogs and other predator animals by the fact that they are hunters, and will sometimes use this argument.
Even if he spares ill people, he will fight an ill person that desires to fight him, but will refrain from killing them since they're not at full strength and good health. He will never start a fight with an ill person though.
Funny enough, when Satsukami was asked what would he do if he faced a stronger opponent, he responded,
"Someone once asked me what would i do if i met a stronger person. I said, i would beat them either with speed or strategy, whatever it is, i will win!"
Satsukami does say that he met some kids, ill people and pregnant women that annoyed him, but he simply walked away from them. Satsukami shows disgust but also fear at the thought of killing a child, shaking at the mention.
==Quotes==
"No one will shed a tear for you when you die. Unless if it's out of joy from not having to deal with you anymore!"
"There is no reason to feel bad about killing old people: They don't wanna live anyways!"
"Women? What does gender have to do with anything? I find both, men and women annoying." (when asked what he thinks of women and so on)
"Why do i kill? Because i used to be a powerless child, i hated my situation and how i couldn't do anything about it. In my adult life, i kill to feel powerful. I love the fact that no one can bully me, pick on me, and so on, because i can stand up for myself. Anyone who pisses me off, dies. I am not a doormat who will let people do as they please around me. Anyone who pisses me off dies, and i find that life amazing." (when asked why he kills)
"Such dishonor. Such cowardice. Such... evil." (about child murder committed by adult)
"I can go out whenever i want, go wherever i want, buy whatever i want, drink whatever i want, eat whatever i want, listen whatever i want, watch whatever i want, read whatever i want, play whatever i want. I don't see that as loneliness, i see that as freedom to do what you love." (when asked why does he like being alone)
"If i wanted something, i'd seek it." (when asked if he wants a relationship or anything social)
"I don't feel free around people. I cannot be myself around them. I cannot do things i enjoy around them. They slow me down. They steal my happiness. They want to change others, and cannot accept when someone is not social. They talk about milk or cereal going first, while kids in Africa eat dirt to cope with hunger. They force religion and politics on unwilling people who just want to have harmless fun, they get angry at others for not being as miserable as them. They waste their time on consensual gay marriage, but don't want to talk about child marriage and forced marriage, which actually harms people and has an effect on them. I'd rather be alone than around such people." (when asked why he doesn't socialize)
"Yes, good people exist, i am not disproving that. But i simply don't enjoy being around others, whether they're as kind as Jesus Christ or as scummy as GG Allin." (response to "not everyone is like that")
"If only people worried about being decent as much as they worried about being a 'real man'." (expressing annoyance at people who say stuff like "real men" and similar)
"If you have something to say to someone, say it to their face, not behind their back." (expressing disdain for people who act kind to someone they dislike but talk negative things behind their back)
"Sure, but don't you think it's way better than someone manipulating you to get your trust, lying to you, then hurting you when you're the most vulnerable?" (when someone is surprised at him for being honest from the beginning of the conversation)
"Bravo! Now more innocents are going to die!" (expressing disdain for heroes who refuse to kill)
"Nice words won't solve every problem. Bullies will keep taking advantage of you if you are nice so, you have to stand up for yourself, and be violent to get them to stop. It's necessary sometimes, but only sometimes." (when someone talks about non-violence)
"This ain't Dora the Explorer. 'Swiper, no swiping!' doesn't work. It never works." (when someone tries to be nice to an evil person to get them to stop being evil)
"Children don't deserve death. Children belong on kindergartens and playgrounds, because those places are life and no stress or worry. Not on battlefield, where they have to stress about whether they will live or die. That stuff messes with a child's mind." (his reason for sparing kids)
==Trivia==
*Satsukami is an ancestor to Getsuko Yagami. This is based on the theory of Genjuro Kibagami being Iori Yagami's ancestor, which was disproved by SNK themselves. Getsuko heavily dislikes Satsukami for killing innocents, while Satsukami is indifferent to his existence.
*Satsukami is heavily inspired by Genjuro Kibagami from Samurai Shodown. Satsukami even intently wears Genjuro's clothes sometimes, and likes to play Samurai Shodown games where he chooses him. However, he does have his own differences, and is his own person.
*Satsukami can be nicknamed "Genjuilmon", as a name pun combination of Genjuro and Guilmon, he does not mind this nickname.
*Though he was born in 1700, Satsukami was transported to 1985. Funny enough, because of this, many other Digimon wrongly thought he was born in 1957, but not many of them found out that he is actually from 1700 until he died. Zanken, also being transported to 1985, is one of few that knew Satsukami is not from 20th century.
*As he himself says, ALL of Satsukami's kills were provoked. And all of victims he killed were 20 or older and healthy. Satsukami wouldn't kill an innocent person that did nothing to him, only those who provoke him or commit rape or give him a good fight.
*As ironic as that may sound, Satsukami is an atheist, despite being nicknamed "God of Killing". Satsukami says he got that nickname from others, he did not make it up for himself. Satsukami comments, "I don't know any loving God that allows rape child molestation, stillbirth to happen. They say God loves everyone, but that does not answer why kids in Africa die from starvation, and why some kids die before they are even born. Either way, you cannot get a logical answer from religious people, they will only use emotions, but not logic.", he also really likes the quote by Epicurus that goes; “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
*Proving his atheism further, Satsukami believes that his title "God of Killing" actually suits him. He reasons, "Idiots piss me off for no reason, dig nose into my business, then they get shocked when i explode and fight back, they suddenly beg me for mercy like the worthless scum they are. If i did not do anything, they would think they can do that and not get punished for it. My title God of Killing suits me, because Gods invoke fear in people. Those people are "good" only because of fear, fear of being punished. But if they did not have that fear, they would believe they can do anything without getting consequences. Genuinely good people do not need fear to be good.".
