Хасегава Таизо

Хасегава Таизо, познат и под називом Мадао је човек у својим четрдесетим годинама који је за бакуфу радио све што му нареде. Након што је срео Гинтокија који је указао да слепим испуњавањем наређења не ради увек прави ствар, решио је да се побуни што је резултирало његовим отказом. Од тада је Хасегава комичан лик који цео серијал живи у картонској кутији у парку вечито тражећи посао. Када је добио отказ његова жена Хацу га напустила али му није дала развод алудирајући неколико пута у серијалу да га без обзира на све још увек воли и чека да се он пронађе и скраси.[н] Хасегава носи стару изношену браон јукату, дрвене јапанке и наочаре за сунце. Његове сцене у серијалу увек прати благо депресивна музика. Хасегава је као бескућник неколико пута покушао да се убије али увек безуспешно. Често на кварњака упада у Гинтокијев стан и краде храну (првенствено пудинг) из фрижидера. Кад може, сакрије се у његов орман где легне да спава. Надимак „Мадао“ дала му је Кагура која је скраћеница за "„средњовечног губитника“" (まるでダメなオッさん *marude dame na ossan*?). Он и Гинтоки се често друже губећи новац на клађење и паћинко]. Захваљујући томе што је бескућник кога нико не примећује Хасегава често чује гласине битне за Гинтокијев тренутни случај. Глас му позајмљује Фумихико Тачики.

Flame Haze (NS)

A **Flame Haze** (フレイムヘイズ) is a former human that has made a contract with a Crimson Lord to gain power. Most Flame Hazes look down on torches or mystes as they are just shells of their former selves.

## Purpose

The Flame Haze's purpose is to protect the balance of the world, which means destroying all Denizen that devour people to take away their Power of Existence. Almost all Flame Haze make a contract with a Crimson Lord when they have witnessed or involved with a Denizen killing their loved ones. As a result they make the contract to get revenge on the Denizen and is the only thing that motivates them to continue, some are known to lose hope after being successful and kill themselves.

## Characteristics

A Flame Haze can be distinguished by the following details:

* **Crimson Lord in Contract** - A Flame Haze creates a contract with a single Crimson Lord which stays until the death of the Flame Haze or when the bond of the contract is frayed by an external event.
* **Title** - Just like the title of a Crimson Lord or Denizen, a Flame Haze goes by a title which describes his or her ability in general. This title is unique among Crimson Lords but not among Flame Haze who underwent the contract with the same Crimson Lord. A Flame Haze usually goes by the tile of "[verb]+of [noun]" like Wilhelmina Carmel's title "Manipulator of Objects".
* **Vessel** - To contain the immense amount of Power of Existence, the contracted Crimson Lord has to stay in hibernate-like state in order to reside within the contractor's body. A Flame Haze carries a vessel where the Crimson Lord uses to watch, hear and communicate with his contractor. It comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and purposes. If the vessel is damaged, it can be repaired given the Power of Existence.
* **Color of Flame** - A Flame Haze shares the color of flame of the Crimson Lord he/she enters a contract with. This flame can be seen when a Flame Haze casts a Fuzetsu or Unrestricted Spell.

## Abilities

The abilities of a flame haze are so spread out and pretty much anything you can think of but their are common things that all or some have:

* Unrestricted Spells - All Flame Hazes are capable of using these but it's up to the amount of existence one has when using the spell.
* Enhanced Strength - Some Flame Haze are shown to have amazing strength.
The Truth of This World (NS)

The Truth of this World (この世の本当のこと) refers to the various truths concerning the Crimson Realm, which is hidden from normal society.

## Background

These truths include the existence in the Human World of the Crimson Denizens, whose dominant nature humans can never overcome, and the truth that those Denizens are selfishly rampaging in the Human World. Since there is a danger of disorder on a global scale due to these truths being impossible for human society to cope with, unless there is a special reason for it, the Truth of This World is generally not told to humans.

Additionally, as long as an ordinary person doesn't interfere with a Denizen of a Flame Haze, they are unable to perceive the various truths concerned with the Crimson Realm, and even if they did, their realization is difficult to spread to the rest of society due to the circumstances.

In the latter half of the 19th century, a group appeared whose activities were made in order for ordinary people to acknowledge these truths, and they named themselves Révolution. Their ideology was regarded as madness by "normal" Denizens and the Flame Haze, and they were eradicated by the middle of the 20th century.
Scroobius Pip

**Scroobius Pip** is an English actor portraying French Bill in the BBC One and FX original drama *Taboo*.

## Biography

Scroobius Pip appears as French Bill, an assistant to Atticus, in the eight-part historical fiction series Taboo (2017) on BBC One and FX.

David Meads, known professionally as Scroobius Pip, is an English spoken word poet and hip hop recording artist from Stanford-le-Hope, Essex. He first gained prominence as one-half of hip-hop duo Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip sparked by their debut single 'Thou Shalt Always Kill'.

Scroobius Pip runs his own label Speech Development Records and also hosted the award-winning weekly radio show The Beatdown on XFM. Currently, runs/hosts a weekly podcast called the Distraction Pieces Podcast and in August 2016 released a book of the same name.

He is a regular guest on Soccer AM and a supporter of Millwall Football Club.

When a teenager punk ignited Scroobius Pip's passion for music, inspiring him to buy a guitar and form various bands with his friends. His musical tastes quickly grew to encompass hip-hop, jazz and any other genre that caught his attention and he became hooked on the lyrical talents of spoken word artists Gil Scott-Heron, Sage Francis and Saul Williams. It was their poetic mix of styles and genres that encouraged him to leave his bands and go it alone, the idea of having no one to rely on or blame other than himself an appealing challenge.

He adopted a pseudonym from Edward Lear's poem 'The Scroobious Pip' and in 2002 whilst working in HMV made the decision to start saving his writing. In an interview with Beatdom, he later explained the reason behind his name: "I loved the story. It's about a creature that doesn't know what it is ...By the end [of the poem] he realises that he is simply The Scroobious Pip. He doesn't fit into any one category and can just be his own creature."

When he had written a full spoken word set and saved enough money to live for a year without income, he quit his job and toured the country living in a 1987 Toyota Space Cruiser. Seeking out gig listings for each new town he visited, he turned up and performed his set to the fans queuing outside, with mixed results. After a few months crossing the country Scroobius Pip moved back home and decided to focus on London and Essex, attending four or five spoken word shows, open mic nights or poetry slams each week – anywhere that would let him perform. Various producers discovered Pip this way and expressed a desire to work with him, but it was the beats of former HMV colleague Dan le Sac that captured his attention and led to the formation of Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, a collaboration that propelled Scroobius Pip into mainstream awareness thanks to their breakthrough debut 'Thou Shalt Always Kill'.

Crimson God (NS)

Crimson Gods (神 *Kami*) is a term used when describing a being of the Crimson Realm who possess more power then a Crimson Lord. Each of these gods are bestowed upon the duty to materializing the laws of the crimson realm. Not all gods stick to one side as Alastor chose to side with Flame Haze's and protect the balance of the world.

## Crimson Gods

 Shaher | God of Guidance
 Fenrir | ???

## Trivia

* The term appears to be gender neutral, as Shaher, though female, is still referred to as a "God" rather than a "Goddess".
Crimson Lord (NS)

A **Crimson Lord** (紅世の王) is an existence, amongst the Crimson Denizens, possessing great power. As they have a large amount of existence, they require a lot of Power of Existence to continue manifesting themselves in the human world. Crimson Lords have the power to move between worlds freely without issue.

The main difference between Lords and Denizens is the former's superior abilities to possess Power of Existence and utilize it. Even though normal Denizens can take possession of a great amount of Power of Existence, they can't master them as well and they still won't be considered Lords. There are also some Denizens who were born with qualification to become Lords, but haven't demonstrated their full strength yet, so they are still considered by others to be only "Denizens".

Normal Denizens who make contract to human for the mission to protect the balance are honorably named as Lords even if they aren't actually Lord-class Denizens. For the Lords who work to maintain the balance, they take care of the balance of the world by monitoring the Power of Existence and utilizing their Flame Haze to terminate those Crimson Denizens who harm the balance. These Lords represent themselves as magical objects called Vessels, which in Shana's case is a pendant.

OC
--
Torch

A Torch is a human being who has had a majority of their Power of Existence drained and consumed by a Crimson Denizen. When a human's Power of Existence is devoured, someone, usually a Flame Haze or Denizen, will create a Torch to take their place, although both cases for very different reasons; Denizens usually wish to make their consumption less noticeable, and so they are not hunted or detected, while Flame Haze wish to use this to soften the sudden "shift" the world would undergo, and prefer to make the change gradually by allowing the people's existence to slowly fade away without noticeable change.

A Torch with a Treasure Tool inside of it is regarded as a Mystes.

## Process

There are five steps in the process of creating a torch and its purpose:

1. A human's Power of Existence is fully eaten by a Denizen. If the human were to have "never existed", the Distortion of the World and its subsequent occurance and imapct would be too large.
2. Flame Haze sense the presence of Distortions and signs of Distortions in order to track Denizen.
3. As a countermeasure for 2, Denizens choose not to consume all of the Power of Existence of the human, leaving just a little bit. They process the remaining Power of Existence with an Unrestricted Spell and for the Consumed Person to keep their "ties" (their relevence to their surroundings and the world) for the time being a substitute existence a Torch is created by the Unrestricted Spell. The Torch retains the sense of self of the deceased person for a limited time.
4. The Torch slowly loses its sense of self and its "ties", and this reduces the speed and impact of their disapprearance and the Distortion that it creates, though the size of the result is most likely the same.
5. While the Flame Haze is unable to immediantly detect the Distortion created, the Denizen moves to a different location.

After being created, a Torch runs on the little Power of Existence that they have left and returns to life as normal. A Torch slowly becomes more and more disconnected from the rest of the world as its Flame slowly dies out, to the point where their general encounters with people everyday are forgotten. A Torch is also less sociable and interactive with other people, usually just doing the main things that the person did when they were alive, and nothing more. When a Torch disappears, it and the person it replaced are completely forgotten, with the only ones remembering it being the ones that influenced greatly or those with knowledge of the Crimson World, or with much power, such as Flame Haze. The first case is very unlikely to happen however, as the Torch makes no great influence on others upon becoming a Torch.

Crimson Realm

## History

Long ago there were beings who originated from this realm, but it bore no name untill a poet named the world the Crimsin Realm.

Originally there are no possible means of going from the human world to the Crimson Realm; a certain Crimson Denizen who rose up and became a Lord soon discovered a way to cross between worlds and it led the first group of settlers on the living world. The Denizen who arrived soon became selfish as they did not wish to give up a part of themselves and started to attack people for their Power of Existence, which is a primary source of nourishment for them in a seemingly unusual enviroment. Ths slowley led to the destruction of the balance of the world.

Because of this, a number of Crimson Lords decided to bind themselves in a contract between them and the inhabitants of the living world to become Flame Hazes, whose main objective is to vanquish Denizens who destroy the balance.
