Truth came home one day, naked and wounded, beaten and cursed by the people who did not wish to hear. "What shall I do?" cried Truth to the gods. "No man wishes to hear me and all beat me and throw things at me." 'You are naked.' said the goddess Maat. 'No naked one can command respect. Take these robes and you will walk without fear and all men will sit at your feet to hear your stories.' And she dressed Truth in Fable’s garments, and he was welcome at every house. -Maat and Truth Out of the Black Land.

personality
Kuzuki comes off like your typical Japanese cop. Serious but solid and dependable. Kuzuki does break away somewhat from this from having a mildly bizarre sense of humor that comes out at strange times such as when looking at a dismembered corpse or staring at roadkill at 3 in the morning on a stakeout, perhaps as a callback to his previous personality. Almost nothing of the cruel, diabolical and tyrannical being known as Set remains, however. In contrast, Kuzuki is grounded and practical yet idealistic and mildly fantastical, with a bit of a hero complex and an sometimes worryingly aggressive pursuit of justice. Kuzuki is the sort of man to burst into a room full of mobsters and declare THEY'RE ALL UNDER ARREST at top volume by himself with a sidearm. Kuzuki tends to also be unbelievably blithe, shrugging off strange events and poor occurrences with the ever-affable phrase "Don't sweat it. Bad for the skin." A memoir from his mother which he repeats like a mantra. Kuzuki is friendly but rarely outgoing, mostly tending to observe and stay in the background of social occasions. Overall, Kuzuki is a good cop with a few quirks here and there under very, very strange circumstances. Likes: ??? Dislikes: ??? Quirks: Kuzuki's has an avid love for flying, birds, and two-wheeled vehicles, things that tend to clash with his water-and-sand based abilities.
history
Kuzuki Ikeda was a fairly quiet boy growing up in rural Edo who became a fairly quiet man who moved to the heart of Tokyo to pursue a career in law enforcement. Diligent and serious, interested in few things besides getting through the day able to say he did all he could in that span of time. A prime example of the Japanese police force, uninterested in the glory-hounding ways of many of his peers or the status or paycheck rising in the ranks might have brought. Kuzuki was compelled more by the small pleasures that could be gained from back-breaking work of being a decent cop and the idealism that burned behind his cavalier, mild demeanor. At heart, this nondescript cop believed to a childish degree that the police were heroes, and had unsaid but powerful aspirations to finally embody the ideals of his youth. That said, there wasn't much that stood out about him until the event that tore his small world asunder. Much has changed, but even in his newly blackened (or rather, more newly discovered to be so) soul beats the fire of a rank sentimentalist. The aforementioned event was when he died. Or, 'died.' The 32-year old pupa-human housing a being grander in scale than he could've imagined died. The convoluted schemes of a millennia-old devil clad in his skin by the name of Set had stolen the soul and body of an infant growing in his mother's womb, and that infant had been him. Set was an ancient god of the Egyptians, a trickster of legendary scale who feared he also would began to disappear into irrelevance as the rest of his kin did in the face of modernity. The old gods of Egypt, devoid of worship and belief, slowly began to dissipate like a clot of leaves at the end of autumn. To avoid this fate, Set collaborated of several devils of separate pantheons to conspire against and eventually consume the essence of all his fading brethren, a feat which had never been preformed yet before. This infused Set with the combined strengths and believed powers of all the Gods of Egypt, elevating him to a state few demons or even Gods could match. Set sought to use this new power in a grandiose scheme to usurp the Lord of Hells, the Steward of Gehenna known most commonly as Beezlebub. A demon of unimaginable scale who had overthrown the previous lord Mephistopheles himself, Beezlebub's cruelty and grim strength were peerless. Few know of the events that took place during this bloody campaign, much less Kuzuki himself, but what has been revealed to him was that the coup eventually ended in complete failure and with the death of Set himself. Demons do not die in the conventional sense, however; their power leaks and they become nothing more than an imp, forced to start over again and again until they can regain their once-held might, if they are even capable of doing so. Set had other plans, however. Knowing he may be defeated, Set placed a contingency in the form of entrusting a fragment of his soul to an imp of the catholic religion by the name of Turgid. The fragment was meant to act as an anchor that would pull the rest of him toward it should he ever fall in his quest, giving him a mortal's lifetime to plan and recuperate away from Beezlebub's wrath; for the one weakness known of the Steward of Gehenna was that his influence could never cross over into the world of mortals. However, this too would end in a spectacular failure. Through unknown means, Kuzuki's willpower managed to survive his death and wound up in the driver's seat, somehow overpowering Set and assuming partial control of the demon's power. The imp named Turgid was astounded and thoroughly baffled at his abusive, tyrannical master suddenly speaking kindly albeit confusedly. The imp soon found his eternal headache returning however, as Kuzuki stubbornly refused any placation to return to hell or at least to set Turgid free, declaring that he would find a way to go to heaven instead, and he needed the imp around to explain shit and for moral support. Kuzuki then set out to do what good he could with the unbelievable powers he barely understood, unaware of the millions of demons out for his ass and of what any future developments would hold.
skills & misc.
DETAILS ABOUT SKILLS, WEAPONS, ITEMS & ROOMS MAY GO HERE Skills: PLEASE NOTE: Kuzuki may not be aware of or make full use of the skills and abilities documented here. This is mainly for my and the GM's reference and what is detailed may or may not ever become relevant. That said, here we go. تحقيق (Realization): Though the form is largely cosmetic, Kuzuki shifts into a crow-like humanoid with the head of a jackal, a more 'realized' version of himself that allows him to more cleanly make use of Set's capabilities, both physical and sorcerous. اللانهائية (Immortality lit. "Endlessness"): Being a conceptual existence as well as a monstrously powerful deity/demon, it is nearly impossible to fully kill Set. After conventionally 'dying', Kuzuki will eventually reform with no adverse side effects. The severity of his usage of power at the time of expiration as well as the belief in him will impact the amount of time it takes to do so, which can range anywhere from less than a few minutes to several decades. ئو قوة إلهية (Godly Force lit. "Of Divine Strength"): Set's martial capabilities are an amalgamation of several gods of war as well as an entire pantheon of the divine and the fullest extent of his power can only be estimated. Though, this considerable strength tends to go underused as Kuzuki both does not know his body can perform these feats and further Set himself relied mostly on trickery and sorcery than brute force. غضب النيل ("Wrath of the Nile"): The belief that the Nile was the source of all waters and thus all life gives Kuzuki dominion over any body of water he encounters, allowing him to shape, alter, and manipulate it as he pleases. In addition, this also gives him power over the gaseous hydrogen in the air, being able to form it into water he can use as he would any other form of water. This power does not solely extend to natural water, and set is also able to solidify or alter the temperature of the water he manipulates, though Kuzuki is inexperienced with the specifics of doing so. همسة الكثبان ("Whisper of the Dunes"): Set is a divinity of the desert, the amalgamation of several. Kuzuki is able to freely manipulate sand (and dirt, to a lesser degree), as well as being able to morph any part of his form into sand, which he can then control with the same level of proficiency. This is, however, not entirely an involuntary action. Kuzuki must be aware of a force that seeks to damage him in order to properly account and defend himself, though as long as he IS aware that he is in danger the act is semi-instinctual and does not require him to fully comprehend what is attacking him or where the assault is intended. ساعة الرمل ("Hourglass"): The sands of time were a more esoteric and complex portion of Set's purview. Kuzuki has barely trod upon these abilities, but what he is able to do when pressed is sense the "flow" of someone's actions and his own. With monumental effort, Kuzuki is able to "suspend" himself, granting him a small window in which he is able to interrupt or alter that flow as he pleases, though the range of this ability can only be guessed at. In addition, a more simple expression of Set's mastery over time manifests itself in the ability to age or de-age an object Kuzuki makes physical contact with, causing it to decay or renew as he pleases. المستيقظ (Being of Chaos lit. "Awakened One"): Set is a chaotic and magic-infused existence by nature, and this is magnified significantly by his years of operation in Gehenna's halls. Though he barely knows how to use them or their effects, Kuzuki is technically capable of a considerable variety of magics and sorceries. الشغبر ذو الرأسين (Two-Headed Jackal): Set had a massive spectral guard jackal with two heads that can shift into any form of transportation necessary at the time. Kuzuki dubbed him Chet, and usually makes him a motorcycle. His heads take the form of the wheels. Appearance: This, but a little younger. Mundane Talents: Singing. He's actually pretty darn good at it. Company parties were a favorite of his. Kuzuki's Room (ROOM 452): WHOOP.
