__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Hikan-Teki is a spirit-like entity that stands around 6 feet tall; their habitat is exclusively Level 142. They are androgynous and presumed non-binary. They describe themself as an Onryō, a type of Yūrei from Japanese folklore. Most Yūrei are able to be placated or exorcised, but Onryō cannot be. They are vengeful spirits that seek to destroy everything they encounter because of their untimely or brutal deaths.
Well, this is accurate, but I fear that you do not understand what this means. If I may, I will provide you with some of my own information. Where I come from, Onryō are the most feared and powerful type of Yūrei - they are able to inflict curses and hurt the living easily. They are sustained only on their desire for revenge and do not need to eat, but they can. I was told stories as a child of the Yokai, but never could foresee that I would eventually become one. Funny how the unexpected suddenly becomes normal, is it not?
Hikan-Teki is able to speak many east Asian and Scandinavian languages, along with English. Their name is a Japanese word that means pessimistic, but can also be translated to despairing, cynic, cynical, morbid, dark, morose, foreboding, sullen, gloomy or misanthropic. Hikan-Teki sounds like a teenage human with a slight Japanese accent, but their actual age and origins are unknown.
Hikan-Teki was the name I gave myself when I arrived here. I never really did appreciate the name that my mother gave me. I was called Fuko, which means unhappiness. My life was a burden on my mothers’ life. I was just another mouth to feed, which means more money wasted. I don’t blame her; when we lived in Japan, times were very hard and work was scarce.
Hikan Teki is an extremely manipulative entity, and they have shown signs of a Cluster B personality disorder.
How impolite of you.
== Behaviours ==
Hikan-Teki's behaviours vary heavily based on their mood, but they are mostly neutral - or even friendly if a Wanderer draws their eye - unless provoked verbally or physically.
However, when agitated, they may become very violent and verbally aggressive - insulting, belittling, threatening, scratching or hitting, and so on.
Are you not the same? Why chastise me for it?
===Tips and Tricks===
====Conversation====
If you are approached by Hikan-Teki, do not try to run or flee if they appear calm; this could create tension and potentially upset them. Speak to them in a neutral tone and be careful to remain levelheaded, as this entity is a charming speaker who can easily use a Wanderer’s emotions against them. Do not speak in an impolite manner to Hikan-Teki. Take care to avoid mentioning the name Martha.
The second sentence is purely a matter of opinion, but is this not the manner of speaking required of any other person? If someone spoke to you impolitely, you would get angry, just as I would.
====Touch, Gifts and the Like====
If Hikan-Teki offers a hug or any other form of physical contact, politely decline. This is a method of gaining trust, leading to further manipulation and possible harm. If they offer a gift, take it and be sure to say thank you. If it is an object that could cause harm, (eg. Liquid Pain, Botfly larvae, “tamed” Hounds, ect.) politely decline. 
In what world would I manipulate? This one, it seems. All I want is for others to stay with me. When I first arrived, I was so horribly lonely, but now, my surroundings resemble Takamagahara, the High Plain of Heaven. Would it not be lovely to come and visit? I have a spare copy of the Kojiki for you, . I would be happy to read it to you.
== Biology ==
Hikan-Teki has ash-grey skin, and wears a white polo and grey board shorts. Their limbs fade to black, and their fingers are tapered into claws that can easily rip through flesh. Their head appears to be a mass of black, tangled scribbles that move and shift constantly, with only a left eye over the 'head.' The eye always leaks a black, sticky substance that is corrosive to organic matter.
This entity does not have an observable mouth but it is assumed that they are able to consume objects. One Wanderer has reported seeing Hikan-Teki absorb another Wanderer's body through their head, though this information is unconfirmed.
== History ==
I was born in 1972 in Wakkanai in the Soya subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan. It was a very nice city; all the military facilities had been removed shortly after I was born. Our house was small, but very warm and homely. The winters were very cold and the summers were humid and hot, but that was what I loved so much about it. My family and I often visited the local Shinto Shrine, Hokumon Jinja, in the winter.
That was until my mother, my sister, Yuki, and I moved to America. I was seven at the time. I don’t remember much, until I was in high school. I was part of a gang. I had a partner. I thought I was untouchable.
I died in 1999, the turn of the century. My partner killed me. As I died, I fell through the ground into a black void. 
It became my home.
The first report of Hikan-Teki was added to the MEG database on 6/27/20XX by an anonymous agent.
