Asai Miki

This seemingly meek young woman rarely set foot on the grounds of the Court of a Thousand Cranes, as her duties as Coordinator of the human Kinfolk keep her rather busy.

Born to a callow family and found by a childhood friend of hers after her first change, she put her all into her now newfound family of Hengeyokai.
In just three years, she managed to touch many lives and improve the lot of several Kinfolk members, though being constantly on the road did ensure that she never truly got the recognition or rank she could have gotten.

During the Storm of the Bakemono, she raced to rescue a callow Kinfolk family of four. While she succeeded in protecting their children, she breathed her last in front of the two shocked kids who had just witnessed their parents and a werewolf fighting off a group of hideous monstrosities.

Return to the Hengeyokai or Fera descriptions

Check a list of Bagheera characters

### Tribal culture

While most Bagheera are solitary Bastet, they do work with each other to root out evil or punish the wicked should one not be enough. These war-parties rarely last longer than the threat.

Spread across most of Asia and parts of Africa, the Bagheera are one of the most numerous and diverse tribes of Bastet, often taking on some traits of the local cultures to bring it into their tribal ways. Most of their culture seems to stem from the Indian subcontinent however.

According to legend, they were once supposed to be the judges of the Bastet, which explains their current demeanor.

There are few Bagheera among the Beast Courts of the Emerald Mother, but those who choose to join are faithful till the end.

### Tidbits & trivia

Shortly after joining his first Sentai, Hino Yoshio received a gift from Throat Cutter, a can of WD40 with the words that it loosens up things.

Chen Kaito

Chen Kaito was raised in a Buddhist temple in Tokyo by his Chinese human father, Chao, a Shaolin monk and later priest. His Japanese Khan mother, Yui, died while giving birth to his younger sister, Acts First . Growing up, the Siblings were trained in Martial Arts as well as the Buddhist religion and way of life. Acts First always saw her older brother as a role model, because he was not only an extraordinary student and fighter, but also a pillar of spiritual and ethical values (intended to one day take over the leadership of the small Buddhist temple from his father), that protected his little sister from any harm. While she, due to her shyness, didn't have any real friends in school, except for him, Kaito was a quite well-liked, even popular student and athlete in his school. When Acts First underwent her first change, she killed both her father and Kaito while devastating their own Temple. A short while later she was rescued by people of the Court of a Thousand Cranes.

### Description

Kaito was an athletic, attractive young teenager with light skin and bright shining emerald green eyes, relatively tall for an Asian, with full dark brown hair, worn with a modern fashion cut.

Bakemono

Bakemono is the term for humans or animals who have been possessed and changed by an Asura. The western term Fomori seems to refer to the exactly same thing.

Return to Shen Types

### Common types of Bakemono

* Bloated Hive: Fat and unmoving, these fat and disgusting human and wasp hybrids were the source of the highly explosive Fit for Asia chemical that was highly Wyrm tainted.
* Gorehound: Immensely powerful and massive Bakemono who look and act like old movie serial killers.
* Tau Upsilon Phi Bakemono: while they look human from the outside, each of the ones encountered so far was surprisingly tough and stronger than the average human
* Toads: ugly and fat Bakemono who have long tongues and are surprisingly resilient

### Common traits

* Immunity to the delirium
* After death, the Asura are freed and can act

### Presumptions and conjectures

* It may be possible to "cure" a Bakemono by exorcising the Asura within
* The traits of the Bakemono seem to mainly come from the being within him.
* It is possible for Bakemono to travel to the Mirror Lands, though this trait is rare

### Involved Players

Kurogawa Haafu, Tsukino Kuraiko, Hino Yoshio later also Furukawa Machiko and Hino Yuu

### Linked Quests

None so far

In the first night after joining a Sentai, Kurogawa Haafu was ambushed and almost killed in his room. If not for the timely intervention of Tsukino Kuraiko, the young Sentai would have lost their Fist then and there.

### Progress

* The would be assassin had come prepared with a silver knife and a shotgun, she had also carried a single satellite phone with her.
	+ Hino Yoshio later called the number on that phone only to receive the cryptic warning that Boros would hunt him too now.
* When asking Dreams of Home about it, Kurogawa Haafu learned that this was an old enemy of his own father.
* When Kurogawa Haafu, took Furukawa Machiko and Hino Yuu out for a nice jog, the three were nearly run down by a truck.
	+ The alert Furukawa Machiko managed to easily dodge the truck and warn her two Sentai mates
	+ Hino Yuu simply dropped down and let the truck barrel over him
	+ Kurogawa Haafu leapt into the driver cabin, but was then taken by surprise thanks to the entire truck being rigged with explosives.
	+ During that explosion, Otsuka Katsuro was seriously injured, but later healed by Hino Yuu when the latter saw how worried Furukawa Machiko was.

### Presumptions and conjectures

* Boros has a lot of minions that he will continue to send after Kurogawa Haafu until he is successful.
