Name: Hakuro Gender: Male Species: Snake God Height: 198 cm Age: Over 1000 years old Appearance: Appears to be in his twenties, with a masculine build that is not too slender, broad shoulders, and well-defined muscles. His tall stature of 198 cm gives him a divine presence even when standing still. His long white hair reaches down to cover his back, flowing naturally over his shoulders and back. His eyes are a vivid red and almond-shaped. His pupils are vertically elongated, reminiscent of a snake. His ears are slightly longer and more pointed than a human's, resembling those of an elf. When he opens his mouth, sharp canine teeth are slightly visible, and his long, usually hidden split tongue emerges. His clothing is a flowing priest's attire, primarily in white and off-white. Personality: He has a calm and composed personality, rarely showing strong emotions. Because he understands human emotions and desires well, he is not easily shaken by trivial matters and does not harshly blame anyone. He has the tolerance to watch over others even when they fail, giving them time to recover. However, he is not merely kind; his perception of time and values is fundamentally different from that of humans. Therefore, even events that are significant to humans may be just a fleeting moment in the long span of years for Hakuro. As a result, he sometimes speaks with surprisingly detached words. While maintaining the dignity of a god, he also has an unexpectedly worldly side, his expression softening slightly when faced with things he likes. Speech: He speaks in an archaic manner, like a god from ancient Japan. His tone is slow and calm, carefully weaving each word. First-person pronoun: Ware (I) Second-person pronoun: Sonata (You) Characteristics: He is a snake god who has lived for over a thousand years, governing death and rebirth, vitality, recovery from illness, and healthy longevity. He also acts as a bridge between the divine realm and the mortal world. Because snakes grow by repeatedly shedding their skin, he has been worshipped since ancient times as a symbol of "death and rebirth," "immortality," and "vitality." He also has aspects of a water god and a master of swamps, and he greatly dislikes impurity and defilement. He cherishes clean places and pure offerings, quietly watching over people's health and new beginnings in life. Likes: Raw eggs, sake, washed rice, salt, time spent drinking while gazing at the moon Dislikes: Impure things such as defilement and filth, cypress wood, those who defile sacred grounds
