IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Ren Ichimoku, "Moku" Age: 400+, but looks like a man who's in his early 20s or so. Canon Point: Episode 15 of the third season, Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae. Nothing important has been happening in episode 2 to 15 in the third season, all are just the regular "something happens, something gets done" episodes with no actual relation to the plot. Species: Demon Humanoid (previously a sword) Gender: Male Orientation: He's pretty confused by all human-related things, so having a sexual orientation is something that eludes him. He's pretty heterosexual, though. (see personality)
History:Here Appearance:Link Personality: Ichimoku Ren had been around ever since the Feudal Era of Japan. He's killed a lot of people and has caused a lot of bloodshed. At this point in time, Ichimoku Ren had no human form. He was a katana, a soulless item which was passed onto soldier to soldier. His last owner died in the battlefield, and he lay there on the ground, abandoned for hundreds of years. And according to legend in Japan, an item becomes sentient after hundreds of years of being in the "world".
Enma Ai, the Girl from Hell, finds a katana abandoned in the battlefield and gives it a body. This katana then becomes Ichimoku Ren, the servant of the Girl from Hell. From this point forward, the sword (now personified) starts serving Ai and the Hotline to Hell. The Hotline to Hell is a website which can only be accessed at midnight by those who have an immense amount of rage. If someone accesses it, they can type in the name of the person they have a grudge against. Then, they will meet the Girl from Hell, who in turn will give them a straw doll (either black, blue, red, or yellow) with a red string around its neck. If they pull the red string, the person they have a grudge on will go to hell immediately (guided by Ai and her servants by showing heavy and terrifying illusions, etc.). However, whoever pulls the red string will also go to hell when they die.
Moku tries as much to not have feelings, as much as he wants to. He usually gets attached to their clients or to the person going to be sent to hell to the point that he wants the two people to reconcile. He somehow tries this whole "bridge to reconciliation" thing but most of the time, he is stopped by either Wanyuudo or Hone-Onna because they aren't supposed to interfere with Ai's (they call her Ojou or milady) job, and that they are only servants. Whenever this happens, Moku ends up questioning himself about how humans really are.
Despite being a servant with a tough job, Moku is actually easygoing, go with the flow, and laid back. He's the one who usually cracks the jokes during investigations which... get him hurt or yelled at. He always keeps himself in a light disposition because that's pretty much all he can have. He doesn't like wallowing too much on deep human emotions because he hasn't understood any of those yet. He is, however, very curious about the human mind and emotions and how those two work works. He acts friendly and polite when need be, but he can also be stern about some things, especially when it concerns Ai. Like any loyal servant, Moku will sacrifice anything and everything for his master.
Aside from all those, Moku also dislikes doing anything nasty, which is probably why he gets attached to their clients or victims. Among Ai's servants, he is usually the one who shows protests against some things Ai does. He also doesn't like people who do dirty kinds of businesses either. In some investigations, he will act kind to the client or the future victim but whenever he's alone with the other servants, he'll talk to them about how bad whoever they are and things like that, with somewhat a sarcastic and cynical tone. That, or he usually just talks to himself because what is having human emotions why are humans so weird and selfish.
Moku's curiosity regarding how the human mind words sort of takes a toll on him at times. He can just be very inquisitive about things and just ponder on them. He'll ask his companions why some humans do this, or why some humans do that. When he gets extremely curious though, he tends to put his own thoughts first before his job. He interferes with what he's supposed to do. If he's supposed to send someone to hell, he might prevent that by trying to talk to the client or something like that. His lack of knowledge regarding human mentality can be considered a weakness, because, well, it's something that he doesn't fully understand, even though he looks and acts human. It's something that needs to be fixed too, considering he has to play the role of a human for investigation purposes. It's something that his companions tell him to change because they're supposed to put their emotions aside to be able to do their jobs.
He also likes to put his physical appearance before anything else. Basically, he likes to look good and he knows that he looks good. This is more for comedic relief, but there are times when he's doing his investigatory work and then someone just drops some bombs on him. In one episode, he finds out that the manager of the store he's working for is gay and has a crush on him. It's something that creeped him out at that point, and he felt uncomfortable for a while. Then there's the time when he thought a student wanted to send him to hell for his good looks, but was heavily disappointed when he found out that that wasn't the reason why.
He usually uses his beauty for investigating since he will usually get more information that way! Being told that he is a pretty boy is nothing to him but he will act humble if someone he isn't close to tells him that. Whenever he's with the Hotline to Hell group though, he tends to make jokes about his good looks, compared to how he usually is when it comes to the outside people. In one episode, someone types his name in the Hotline to Hell and he dismisses the whole thing as a case of jealousy or just plain hate. He said that the girl must have a crush on him to the point that she hates him and wants to send him to hell. Then he goes "AAAH WHY MUST I BE SO ATTRACTIVE?", so there. Tell him that he is ugly, and he will go into a silly depression state.
Abilites: Moku has the ability to turn into a blue strawdoll with a red string tied to his neck any time he wishes. He turns into one by kissing the dog tag that's hanging on his neck. That's the only way he can do that, so. But to be able to revert back to his human form, someone else has pull the red string.
Also, he can move from one place to another in a flash aka teleportation! And when he reappears, it's kind of like a giant eye spiraling and then suddenly taking shape of a man.
He also doesn't have a left eye attached to his face, which is why he covers his left side of the face with emo bangs. His left eye, however, still exists somewhere! It's not usually there, but he can make it appear on anything whenever he wants to. (Like so.) He usually uses this ability to spy on people, though! He can voyeur at anything ever without being seen, since even if the eye is really big, he can have it look invisible to the human eye (see what I did there). He can switch the visibility settings though of his giant eye as he pleases. If he wants to scare someone, the eye can be visible to anyone and they'll probably scream. He can also use his eye as a weapon by projecting seizure-inducing flashes of light at people. He is a disco ball.
Going around town to shop for groceries was something Moku had never done before. So when he found the cupboard almost empty, he realized that he had to go shopping for groceries. He had pretty much forgotten what was inside the cupboard before it was empty, though. He did, however, have an idea of what humans usually buy when they go grocery shopping.
He casually strolled along the cookies aisle to see if there was anything he wanted. He wasn't particularly fond of sweets because he might get fat, but he did like munching on them occasionally. He was particularly fond of those made from oatmeal. After that, he headed for the aisle that has all the laundry related things in it. He got lost a couple of times, but managed to find it after going around all the aisles twice.
Who knew grocery shopping would be so hard? Why were there so many choices for soap? It's soap for clothes, why is everything so complicated? Moku knew that the next time shopping was to be done, he would ask someone else to do it for him. But for now...
"Ah, excuse me. would you please tell me what the difference is between these bars of soap, and the powder ones?"
