Takamimusubi

**Takamimusubi** is the second god to appear in Takamagahara, providing the land with bountiful agricultural advances. He was the first person to invent the Manten Zetsuin-ryū, passing it onto the other Hitorigami who would be the ones that decide a person's eligibility for learning the practice. The first instance of the style was used to separate their world in Beriah from the reach of demons.

## History

### Heisei Rebellion Arc

Takamimusubi has a short appearance in one of Takami's dreams which cover a flashback where the youth first meets him. He tells the youth to meet him on the outside of the village, so that they can go hunting demons together for practice. After this, the dream sequence ends and the latter is brought back into reality: the horrors of the rebellion.

## Personality

He is described as a stern and serious god, but was fatherly to Takami in his youth. He was able to see that his future disciple was being bullied because of how different he looked from the other kami, something which he had no control over. During the time he trained him for three years, he always prepared food for him and even provided him with royal vestments that would protect him from attacks received by demons. He was a wise and noble old man, compared to his grandson Izanagi who showed more lecherous qualities. As the second Mikoto in existence, he carries himself with an air of authority and supremacy, reminding others that just because he is old, does not mean his skills have dulled in the slightest.

## Appearance

Takamimusubi wore a set of chest armor made in the traditional style with left and right panels suspended over the breastpiece. The sleeves and tassets were made from a black lacquer woven with white thread that emanates an aura of both grandeur and the sacrosanct. Around his forearms and hands were gloves that offer protection to both arms and are designed so that the upper parts do not get in the way of the armor's sleeves. In contrast to the simple design of the upper sections, the lower parts offer impressive protection. He had some extended waist and thigh guards that offer impressive protection but shorter sections to the front and rear that allowed for ease of movement. His greaves provided shin protection by fearing large knee guards that gave him an imposing air.

## Abilities

**Greater Lord Physiology**: As deities that are widely worshipped by humans or other beings, greater lords are a higher tier of the deity classification. They generally rule over one or more concepts to a more significant level than their lesser counterparts. They are able to achieve things that other people simply cannot: creating realms, weapons or objects of divine or demonic power out of nothing but their own essence as if it were child's play. While not as powerful as a Demiurge, they still have a great deal of influence and control over a certain aspect of something, be it a particular mythology or the world that they live in. Their speed, strength, coordination and other physical capabilities are otherworldly, allowing them to easily compete with the greatest angels, spirits, demons or anything otherwise. Like angels, their blood consists of aureum, a substance that is harmful to beings that either harbor or were created from negative energy. They are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield and only grow stronger through the worship that they receive.
