## ****Overview****

Hikaru Imai was a former member of the 12 Kizuki, once holding the rank of lower moon Two. His behavior was unusually different than that of other demons, feeling remorse for his victims at some point, however later began to believe that he was the one who lead them into the afterlife, relieving them from the pain of the world. This leads him to develop painless methods of killing his victims and sympathizing with them before their last moments.

## ****Description****

Hikaru is a moderately short demon with a young appearance, wearing a white kimono with gold patterns. His hair and eyes also stick to his white and gold theme, his hair being gold with streaks of white and his eyes being a shiny gold color.

## ****Personality & ideology****

.Hikaru has a relating and sympathizing personality. He always attempts to explain his thoughts, and gives his reasoning on why he does what he does. He believes that by killing humans, he can guide them to the afterlife where they can be freed from their pain and reunite with dead loved ones. For this reason, his primary targets are always those who have deceased close ones, those who are suffering or HAVE suffered, and those who are enduring physical pain (illnesses, mainly). He does kill others too, however, considers their deaths "an early trip to paradise", and that he would make their family want death too. After killing his victims, he only drinks the blood of the corpse and leaves it alone. on occasions where the victim has no family to go to, he buries the body himself if he has the time and space.

## ****History****

As a human, he lived as the son of a mere rice farmer in a family of 2, having a younger sister. At some point, around the age of 17, he was out to gather wood, when he got encountered by a demon. When the demon proceeded to attack him, he ran off panicking, wounded. When cornered, he stabbed his ax into the demon, spilling blood on his wounds only to end up unintentionally demonizing himself. Losing his sanity at the immediate transformation, he navigated home and killed his family only to realize what he had done afterward. Once demonization was explained by the demon that attempted to kill him, he had no choice but to kill to survive in order to keep his sanity, feeling guilt towards each victim he killed. At one point, while mourning over a kill, he was noticed by another demon that later introduced herself as Itsuki. She tried comforting him and told him not to mourn, and that he'd gifted the victim with death so that it could go on to meet the afterlife. This mindset caused Hikaru to lose guilt over killing people, but rather have joy. He extended what she had said, and began painless killing methods while comforting his prey, and then gently consuming the corpse after. Due to his peaceful killing methods, he went unnoticed most the time by demon slayers, people having assumed that the victim died of natural causes or something else at the sight of typically very undamaged bodies. Going unnoticed for a while, he was able to eat many humans from many regions and claim the rank of lower 2 in the 12 Kizuki.

## ****Blood demon arts****

### **Scented light**

A blood demon art which is released by crushing small spheres made of his blood. It releases a bright, slow flowing gas that affects humans by slowly killing them without pain. It covers an area of about 2 meters, and lasts for about 5-10 minutes. It is ineffective towards demons, sometimes effective towards demon slayers, depending on the demon slayers breathing control and skill. The more the gas is inhaled, the more the effect takes place. Inhaling a small bit of the gas already calms down the victim, and soothes them mentally, causing them to just inhale more while caught in a trans-like state. The more they inhale, the more effects happen. They begin seeing light around them, and calm down more, until they finally die.

***NOTE: currently i haven't brainstormed many. more will be added later.***

## **Relationships**

#### Shiori Samezaki

An old friend from when he was a human. They'd typically read books and study botany together. A while after becoming a demon, Hikaru forgets Shiori, but later remembers as Shiori reminds him of their old friendship.
