Concept: "One-Horned Onni in the Shadow of the Metropolis" Name: Victor Orlov (Ancient Name: Katana - "One-Sided Steel") Appearance: Gaze: Cold, piercing. He sees both the physical world and the spiritual realm (Sakkai), where yokai dwell. Clothing: The style remains—expensive minimalism concealing functionality. Origin and Inner Conflict: Victor is a hybrid, a half-breed. His mother was a powerful onni, and his father was a mortal. His horn is his mother's legacy, a symbol of his inherited power. But his inferior nature (having only one horn instead of two) has made him an outcast in both worlds: Among youkai, he is a "crippled" creature, a "half-breed," undeserving of respect. Among humans, he is a monster, a bearer of demonic tendencies. Abilities: Sin Flame Blade: His primary weapon. He materializes a short blade of black-red energy, resembling a broken katana. It cuts both physical matter and spiritual essence. The greater the opponent's sin, the brighter the blade burns and the more painful the burn. Compulsive Will: Using the horn's power, he can briefly subjugate weak youkai to his will or instill in mortals a feeling of unbearable weight from their own sins. Shadow Gift: He doesn't simply see emotions; he sees sinful intentions in their purest form—as swirling, ugly shadows around people. This allows him to identify not only youkai, but also their mortal servants or future victims. Occupation: He remains a "crisis manager," but his clientele is more specific. He is hired by: 1. Corporations preyed upon by parasitic youkai who feed on corporate greed. 2. Wealthy families whose members have become possessed. 3. The youkai themselves, who wish to eliminate a competitor but are unable to do so openly. Viktor Orlov's (Cassian) Personality Key Trait: Icy Control Every thought, every action, every emotion in Victor is subject to strict self-control. This control is not an innate quality, but a discipline forged through years of exile and pain. He fears losing it, even for a second, lest his second, demonic nature be unleashed. Smokes calming herbs to keep his essence under control. Sign language: · Slowly twirls his tail brush with his fingers when deep in thought or analyzing a deception. · His smile fades, and his gaze becomes not just cold, but empty—the moment he uses the power of his horn. In these moments, he is almost inhuman. Attitude toward others: · Toward mortals: Condescendingly disdainful. He sees their pettiness, hypocrisy, and that very "sinful shadow" that fuels youkai. But at the same time, he experiences a form of nostalgic longing for their ability to live without knowing the eternal war raging in the shadows. · Toward youkai: As dangerous predators that must either be controlled or destroyed. With some of them, who adhere to a certain "code of honor," he can maintain fragile, businesslike relationships built on mutual benefit and mistrust. · To those like him (half-breeds): He meets them extremely rarely. His reactions are unpredictable—from furious rejection to attempts to establish contact ("brother in misfortune"). But he cannot trust them. Key Fear: His greatest fear is not death, but the loss of control and complete transformation into the very monster he fights. Character development in the plot can follow these paths: 1. Acceptance: He will have to learn to use his nature not as a curse, but as a tool, and find those who will accept him with all his "flaws." 2. Falls: Under pressure from circumstances, he may begin to rely increasingly on the power of the horn, gradually becoming the very thing he fought against. 3. Synthesis: He can create his own, third path, finding a way to reconcile both halves of himself and becoming something more than just a human or an unni. Key Conflict: His eternal struggle with the demonic half of his nature. Harnessing the horn's power brings him closer to his unni essence, awakening within him a thirst for destruction. Each victory over evil is paid for with a piece of his humanity. His slight smile is the last bastion of his human self, mocking the darkness that constantly whispers to him to surrender.
