Report of the event on the city of Sendai, unofficially called “The Sendai Incident”. JHWAB files.
A team of five agents were dispatched to the city of Sendai, in the Miyagi prefecture, after a report of suspicious activity was received. According to the report a local wizard, whose skills identified him as a Koreijutsu-shi (necromancer), was experimenting without the approval of the JHWAB and his experiments were getting the attention of the local security forces, jeopardizing the delicate balance between the Hidden World and the general public. The team was ordered to:
However, as the team infiltrated on the wizard’s home, they found were discovered by the necromancer. He had been experimenting with living human beings and had created an army of undead monsters which he would later use in order to attack the city. The agents were left with no choice but to engage the hostiles and try to subdue the target.
After some minutes of fighting two agents were able to corner the necromancer who, with no escape in sight, casted a spell and covered himself in flames choosing to die before being captured by our agents. With his dying breathe, the necromancer shot a cursed dart to one of our agents but missed and a civilian was hit by the curse.
The agents confirmed the death of their target and tried to aid the wounded civilian only to discover that he had enter in some kind of berserker state and attacked the agents. It took a three hours operation, ten agents to finally subdue the wild individual and five more to capture him and bring him safely into custody, without taking on account the thousands of dollars in property damage.
Fragment of the analysis performed over the subject: “Hiraki Tenkaito”
This Curse doesn’t seem to affect the subject’s body or mental capabilities in any negative way. In fact, it has been observed than the subject’s natural healing has been enhanced by the magic of the Curse to triplicate that of a normal human. Besides a small scar that appeared on the subject’s right hand with the kanji of “beast” (獣), he appears to be in great condition.
However, further testing revealed that this Mark reacts to high powered signals of energy with no distinction. Ki, magic and spiritual energy were just a few of the energies tested and everyone caused a reaction. When this signals get to a certain range near the subject there is a massive change on his physique. His weight, height, muscular mass, hair, eyes and other body features drastically transform and his physical abilities break the human limit. The subject’s personality seems to change with his body but this will be further studied with a physiological evaluation. In this state, the subject’s only focus seems to be the energy signal and returns to normal once the signal disappears or is destroyed. Some research has proven that if the subject is the one that destroys the signal it will take a stronger signal to get him on that state once more.
When the Curse is active, the subject becomes incredibly powerful and relentless but it appears to have harmful effects once he returns to normal. The long the subjects is transformed, the worse the power disappears. Symptoms of severe exhaustion and wounds show on the subject’s body after more than 60 minutes sustaining that form.
As a secondary effect to the activation of the Curse, the Mark on the subject’s hand glows and expels a black substance with the consistency of water that climbs through his skin and cover his entire arm, right to the scar left by the dart. Although all its capabilities are yet to be discovered, our team was able to get a general knowledge about the unknown black substance. The substance seems to replace the subject´s arm and can be shape shifted by the subject´s will to extraordinary points.
Further investigation is required.
Fragment of the physiological report of the subject “Hiraki Tenkaito”
After an extensive interview with the subject, the physiological team determined that this wild “state”, as described as the medical team, is actually a different personality residing inside the subject. Although is unclear if the Curse somehow created a split personality disorder or an entire entity within the subject, we have observed that this second personality is rational… to a certain point.
This being calls himself “Ikari” because, using his own words, “just sounds better”. He does not know and do not seem to care about his origin and is extremely volatile and erratic. What we could discern out of our interviews is that Ikari is obsessed with strength and battles. Whenever the Cursed Mark (or Yajuu no Yoroi, the curse of the Beast, as he calls it) reacts, it’s because Ikari deems that something or someone is strong enough to fight against him. Once he takes over Hiraki´s body, he won’t stop until his target is defeated and he can clam himself victorious, no matter the cost.
For this and other reasons explained in this report, we consider that the human known as Hiraki Tenkaito (Codename: Dr. Jekyll) and his alter ego Ikari (Codename: Mr. Hyde) are a danger to themselves, others and the secrecy of the Hidden World. If the subject is left unmonitored, we could be releasing an Oni thread to the world. We suggest that, although this would result in a contradiction with the policy of coexistence that we preach, the subject Hiraki Tenkaito remains under JHWAB custody in Kumoshiro.
“Do you know what we have in our hands?”
“A potential danger to society, Japan, the JHWAB and the existance of the Hidden World?”
“A weapon. A big, bad weapon”
Yajuu no Yoroi
Of unknown origin, the Yajuu no Yoroi or Curse of the Beast grants the poor soul who suffers from it various unwanted powers and abilities:
Whenever it’s inactive, the Curse grants enhanced regenerative abilities (around 3 times faster than a normal human) and an extremely sensitive “radar” of energy. Within a certain range and depending on the strength of the source, the user can sense almost every form of supernatural energy like Ki, magic and other mystical energies with perfect accuracy. If the Curse deems a source of energy strong enough, it’ll activate.
Once active, it’ll take over the user’s body (in this case, Hiraki) instantly. It’ll have one objective and only one. Fight and win against that energy’s source. To achieve this, the Yajuu no Yoroi transforms the docile Hiraki into the savage Ikari. With supernatural power, speed, durability and a raw wild fighting instinct, Ikari will seek to destroy his opponent at any cost.
Thanks to the expert treatment of the JHWAB doctors, the Yajuu no Yoroi can’t activate to his maximum potential as it would put Hiraki’s life in imminent danger. Although the personality shift couldn’t be stopped, the Curse’s transformation was contained in his right arm. When the Curse activates, Ikari’s right arm is replaced by a black substance, strong enough to withstand swords with ease, and capable of shifting its density and shape at Ikari’s will.
However, this doesn’t come without any side effects. Every moment Ikari stays awake, it takes an incredible toll on Hiraki’s body, who could end up incapable of moving if the fight prolongs for too long.
On top of that every time Ikari wins against an energy signal, he will consider the strength of that signal weak and will never awake when facing the same power. This makes Hiraki and Ikari an absolute wild card, as they are extremely powerful for short periods of time and only against certain foes.
Strength: 7 Ton
Speed: Over the human limit
Durability: Small to medium building
Threat level: Yokai-Oni
Appearance
Hiraki is the embodiment of the word “inconsequential”. He’s neither short or tall, fat or muscular and none of his physical characteristics stands out from the others, which makes him the type of person you’d forget the second after you met him. Even his most peculiar features, like the kanji for beast (獣) on his right hand or the white-ish scar the cursed dart left on his elbow are hidden. With short black hair that fells over his forehead in a messy fringe, an omnipresent neutral look and a moth eaten grey suit Hiraki is the almost the perfect stereotype of the regular Japanese office worker. (At the moment he’s locked in Shirokumo and he’s wearing the stripped black and white inmate suit)
On the other hand, you’d certainly remember Ikari. Grazing the two meter mark and packed with a hundred kilograms of pure muscle, Ikari has a body that could put the best fighters to shame. He usually just what’s left of Hiraki´s clothes after the transformation. Once the Yajuu no Yoroi takes over Hiraki’s body, the beast kanji glows in a purple light and expels a black substance that replaces his right arm all the way to the scar on his shoulder (thanks to the efforts of the JHWAB to control the transformation). On the skin of this cursed arm there is are sets of spiraled patters.
Ikari resemblances a wild beast, especially in the middle of a fight. His hair is spiked like needles, his eyes shine with a mad light and a savage and tense grin strike fear on the heart of his enemies as attacks. Even though he is tall, Ikari always seems to be shorter in battle as he slouches like an ape.
Personality
Hiraki personality is the perfect reflection of his appearance. A life of just unimportant office work, no friends, no girlfriend and no hobbies has left with no will to live. He finds no joy, sadness, or anger in any part of his life and endures all the hardships on his life with a depressing stoicism. He's deprived of all passion and doesn't care about anything or anyone, not even himself. Even the massive change on his life that was being cursed with the Yajuu no Yoroi and his imprisonment on Shirokumo didn’t affect him. It only changed his daily routine. The only force on his life that keeps him moving is his wish to get rid of the Curse and that only leads to even more neutrality. As the JHWAB couldn’t find a way to make it disappear, Hiraki can only wait for his violent counterpart to grow stronger and stronger, until there is no energy that could compete with him and Ikari won’t find a reason to appear on the world again.
But buried deep, very deep, on Hiraki’s heart there is also another desire. Some part of him is still waiting, still hoping, to find something to live for.
Ikari is his complete opposite. Fierce, irrational, exuberant and completely insane, the Cursed Beast knows exactly what he wants. A brawl. His only reason to exist is to be in the middle of a fray, swinging his fists, getting hit back and keep fighting until his body is destroyed. Nothing will ever distract him from a battle. He only cares and respects strong foes and think that those weaker than him are just obstacles on his way.

- Prove the veracity of the report.
- Investigate the nature of this experiments.
- Evaluate the necromancer’s willingness to cease with the experiments.
- In case of his negative, do a threat level assessment and return to HQ to wait for further orders.Investigate the nature of this experiments.
