The Historian

A mysterious figure appeared one day...

**"The Historian"** is a non-canon Hu-Hou created by Sai.

## Backstory

Little is known about The Historian outside of their sudden appearance within Tetsuri Shrine during the events of "Calamity of Fate". From what is known, The Historian saw the world as imperfect and wanted to wipe the slate clean, releasing multiple phantasms out to attack other Hu-Hou of importance around the world. He began with trying to directly attack Otome with brush projectiles, which were caught by Koji and crushed. Koji attempted to attack The Historian from behind through a portal, but Koji was effortlessly killed with a giant brush carving an X through his body. As the phantasms would be attacking their targets, The Historian opened up two large scrolls: one showing drawings of the Hu-Hou of importance, another showing their names. The drawing scroll was ripped to shreds by Otome, who in a fit of rage for Koji's death finally manifested her own Aura.

The phantasms continued to kill off others, names on the grand scroll crossing off on their own. Putting up their own fan, once again Otome's attack was blocked. With her unnatural power of Outburst, she awoke her divine spirit and cleaved both The Historian's fan and the grand scroll in half. The Historian reared back to prepare an attack, then stopped. Two Hu-Hou, Misaki and Katsu, were standing tall in the destroyed doorway. Each had the weapon of their phantasm. A rush of wind and The Historian suddenly had to jerk his head out of the way as a ghostly apparition attacked and took the band from his left ear. In dismay, The Historian saw Hikari and Yami alive and well, despite being destroyed by their phantasm. As he pondered why they still lived, Kimi stood forth, wielding his phantasm's weapon, a large gauntlet with three shining stones. A chuckle to himself, he closed his eyes and smiled as the five Hu-Hou before him readied their weapons and rushed forwards to attack.

But it was all just a dream... to some. An odd feeling of deja'vu to others. These events never happened. At least not in any recorded form available within the Third Timeline.

## Relationships

**Tetsuri Valley** - The Historian sees the world they "oversee" as somewhat incomplete or not as they wished. They seeked to destroy them, sending phantasms after nearly all Third Timeline Hu-Hou. When this failed and five strong individuals nearly struck The Historian down, time seems to wind itself back. Now, The Historian watches the valley with great interest, wondering how the imperfect creations came to nearly best him.

## Abilities

**Void Art: ???** - The Voidart of The Historian is unknown at the current time. It appears to be related to creating copies of others or controlling empty shells, though this could be just one of numerous powers.

**Aura** - The aura of The Historian is that of a halo of blue brushes around a fan. It circles behind their head. When envoking divine powers, such as to eliminate the Third Timeline Hu-Hou, all coloration turns purple.

**Void Sight -** The Historian is spotted to has Void Sight, as his eyes selera is often black.

**Manifesto -** Drown the world in darkness with void ink, literally, this turned comic page into black background for the pages its active

**Other** - The Historian carries many things with them that offer information, through scrolls with artist depictions of characters, large lists of names, and a cellphone with this information as well. They are also shown to have a form of holographic or phantasmal watch.

The scroll (the one with text) seems to has the ability to update itself in real time before it got destroyed, the name of who died got crossed out.

**Over The Wall Knownledge -** All the phantasms have connection to their victim.

* **Yanchang:** attacked by the original not-voidfox design
* **Katsu:** attacked by creator's sona
* **Misaki:** attacked by Terminator (the robot) and also the sword XaaaCi that Acid Rainbow use.
* **Kimi:** Attacked and got his friend Hikari erased by his dad, Kanos

Yanchang and Katsu case, and even Misaki case, show that The Historian know not only the information of the voidfoxes, but their external connections as well. Despite the targeted character themself are oblivious to the connection.

**Time-Bending -** Return the day to its beginning and undo all the damage.

## Timeline of RP Events

**January 2nd, 492 -** Appeared within Tetsuri Shrine with intent to kill all Hu-Hou around the world. Was overwhelmed by the strength they had amassed and returned the day to the morning, effectively erasing it from time but not memory of some.

## Trivia

* The Historian is quite literally Sai Haung forcing his way from the Alpha Timeline into the Third Timeline.
* Its suppose to be The Calligrapher but seems like people got the impression wrong in panic state and call the wrong profession. Seriously there was giant brushs flying around and paint the sky black.
* The Historian, during the previous iteration of the Third Timeline, was only been seen twice. Despite this, his appearance is what has caused nearly all of Otome's storyline to force its way into motion. During the new iteration, the "calamity of fate" is the only time they have been seen.
* While the events of "Calamity of Fate" are canon, no voidfox can remember it. Those that can believe it to be a dream as it was too ridiculous to be real, as well as the real world evidence not matching up. The only voidfox able to know it wasn't a dream is Yume, with their dream related void-art being able to tell the event apart from a real dream.
* The scroll full of characters during "Calamity of Fate" is a long sheet of every voidfox made by the community. It currently includes 39 voidfoxes and 78 total sprites when revisions are included. It is 2108x300 pixels currently but only 94kb in size.
