Kami of the Eight Drinks

The Kami of the Eight Drinks is the Kami of debauchery, partying, and most especially excessive drinking. Currently, the host of the Kami of the Eight Drinks is Thad Plaster of The Boys fame.

## Origin

While it is not entirely known exactly when and where the Kami of the Eight Drinks was first brought into existence, though The Professor believes that someone threw a wicked crazy party after the War of Gods and accidentally brought into being during it. It is not known who the first host of the Kami was, nor is it known how many hosts it has had.

## Thad Plaster

Thad Plaster is the current Kami of the Eight Drinks, though like all Kami hosts he does not remember anything prior to becoming the Kami.

As the story goes, when The Boys were split up during an Extra-Dimensional Door Anomaly event, Thad Plaster found himself in the dojo of the Kami of the Eight drinks. Such an event had never occurred before, and the Kami at the time was intrigued to say the least, so he invited Thad to have a drink at his personal dojo bar. Thad, never one to decline a free drink readily accepted.

It should be known however, that Thad Plaster is basically the most high functioning alcoholic you have ever met. Seriously, I saw the dude down 3/4ths a bottle of vodka like it was water, and proceeded to have several shots of whiskey throughout the night. The dude is a maniac, he woke up the next morning and had three beers with his breakfast.

At some point during their sharing of stories and drinks, Thad decided to boast about his drinking skill. The Kami, unaware of exactly what kind of critter Thad really was only chuckled at him dismissively. Infuriated, Thad then insisted on a drinking competition between himself and the Kami. It was at this point things got real, and any comradery that was present quickly left the room. According to The Rules of The Kami, the Kami of the Eight Drinks cannot decline a challenge, so he explained to Thad exactly what he was getting himself into.

A drinking contest with the Kami of the Eight Drinks is known as the Game of The Drink, and it is a life or death game at that. The Kami explained to Thad that if he were to lose this competition, he would likely die from alcohol poisoning, however if he were to win, he himself would become the new Kami of the Eight Drinks with all the power that comes along with it. The caveat being that all vestiges of former life will be removed from his mind, and he will never be able to return to his old life.

Thad didn't really care about any of that and just said "yeah whatever, lets get this over with." What followed next was an astounding display of alcohol tolerance to a degree that likely had never been seen before. Supposedly, the competition went on for a total of 3 days. 3 days of nearly nonstop drinking, and Thad came out on top. All his memories of a previous life were erased as he absorbed the power of the Kami.

## Powers

The Kami of the Eight Drinks has access to several powers, but most notably the kami is extremely durable. There is very few physical attacks that can harm the Kami, and even fewer ones that could effectively poison him. The Kami of the Eight Drinks also has access to the special move, Game of The Drink. Game of The Drink is a rarely used, and as such very serious, event that can only be started when the Kami either challenges by someone or is challenged to a drinking contest. What takes place is that the two individuals involved in the contest are transported to the Kami's dojo, and in turn each have to drink an increasing amount of alcohol which is also increasing in alcohol content. The loser is the one who either passes out first or outright dies from poisoning. At that point, if the Kami lost, its body disintegrates and the power of the Kami is absorbed by the victor, who loses all their memory.

The Kami of the Eight Drinks can be summoned at parties by putting eight drinks in a circle and asking reaaaaaally really nicely that he join you, and you need to get across that he can have as many free drinks as he wants. The one thing you do not want to do is even suggest that he will need to pay for his own drinks.
