Many Makai living things has already flowed into the human
world in "Darkstalkers" story world.
Some of them have high value for human being. There is very much
demand: decorations material,material that doesn't exist in the
human world (liquid from internal organs and blood), research
object as a creature weapon, and so on. In general, Darkhunter
is an occupation, which meets demand for the clientele. They hunt
demons and they get reward that corresponding to its ability.
Though there are many rewards as much as a degree of danger, failure
isn't forgiven because the inhabitant of darkness (Darkstalkers)
is the opponent. In other words, it means "death". They
can't try to compete with opponents if their body only built up
or they are only used to handle of fight skill and guns. Only
a D class Makai beast sometimes kills one very first-class army
too easily. When someone is confronted with a beast of the different
world, both is necessary, strong spiritual, which can keep a normal
nerve and "heart of darkness", which isn't violated
in Makai's miasma beasts give off.
It is said that such several hundred of Darkhunters exist in
the human world. Of course their ability vary widely. There are
doubtful fellows who can't hunt not only the inhabitant of darkness
but also a stray dog. B.B.Hood is really a hunter of "special
S class" in that. Because "heart of darkness" is
endowed since born, it is more difficult to planting that later.
Then, it can't be branded simply that the heart might make unfortunate
themselves and a circumference.
For example, though B.B.Hood herself only worked for the money,
thanks to that, the inhabitants of towns were saved, where was
threatened by demons. There are many things like that. Good and
bad of the things vary in the judged person. Conflicts happen
because of believe which is different each other. Moreover, values
of Makai are different from the human world. Our common sense,
which holds right only in the just small world, can't measure
them. In the first place, who decided that "justice"
was more precious than "evil". Both the wild beast of
Makai and the saint of the human world who is working for the
reign, are equal in the point of soul purity.
B.B.Hood lives faithfully in her "heart of darkness".
Thinking about only securing of ones profit, that way of living
is a ideal of human being in some senses. Values's standard doesn't
exist for B.B.Hood who is attached to "money" except
for the tariff of her work. She lives in the two far worlds Makai
and the boundary of the human world, then, the inhabitant of which
world can't decide whether she is right. Only B.B.Hood can decide
by herself.
Childish Darkhunter B.B.Hood's most of information is wrapped in mystery. What kind of life is she usually doing? I will introduce a part of her daily life in the following.
- Attending Hunter Guild North Europe Combination Alpine Branch
Liaison Conference.
Interchange with other hunters is necessary for final securing
a profit.
- Purchasing weapons ammunition distributed in illegal channels.
A first-class work person must always handle first-class ammunition.
- At home, maintaining portable gun vessels.
For hunters, it is common sense that must not neglect that.
- Mixing of the gunpowder of mines.
It is expression of consciousness as professional to work hard
always and to pile up research.
- Shopping clothes and food, running errands to grandmothers house.
Her side as one girl can be seen.
- Training Control Shooting. (for example, 100m dash × 50)
Foundation is fortified, and it can be applied. You must not forget
your original intention.
- Picking up of individual Darkstalkers information with meteorological
satellite "CATASTROPHE"
(a military satellite camouflaged) which is used for satellite
communication circuit.
Modern hunter business presents the aspect of information battle.
She exploits technicalities to challenge an enemy.
- Entering to "Darkhunting Grand Prix", which is held
twice in a year. (Decide a target, which cost a prize, and competes
to shoot down)
This is the entertainment of established custom, which introduces
skill in hunting. But, all hunters don't always follow this grand
prix.
By the way, such occupation is increasing during this last year,
which occupation is different from Donovan, who is human-Mazoku
half-breed and was committed to battle for cursed fate.
- Soul Bee group is a kind of devil-insect group. There are about 50-150 bees in individual group. The leader of an individual group is called Q-Bee. In other words, Q-Bee is not an individual name but a title. Incidentally, "others crowd" is just called Bee or P-Bee.
- Q-Bee works to raise the head of next generation, that is, "next Q-Bee" from the individual group. In children who are born, there is a bee that has a honey capsule (an organ to concentrate and accumulate nutrition) in a certain probability, and this becomes the head of next generation, Q-Bee.
- There are male and female in P-Bee divide roughly. (Ratio 2:8) There are few distinctions in appearance. (Male are a bit little.) Male just exists only for sake of reproduction. Male's self-regenerated ability is very weak compared with female. Because a present Soul Bee group has powerful ability of self-reproduction and regeneration, change of generation is possible without male's help. Before long, male will disappear from Soul Bee group completely.
- Her "eyes" are compound eyes in the head.
In fact, "eyes" that seems to be eyes of the human being
in the face is an imitation. It is mimic to deceive other creatures.
- The sense of touch takes the smell of "food" very
sensitively.
That effective range reaches several hundred km.
- Their intelligence level is equal to a 4-5 years old baby
of human being.
They can have easy conversation.
- Appetite is the most important of their behavior principles.
They assume things moving except for their selves are sources
of nutrition and kills to catch and eat. Their digestion ability
is wonderful, and never gets upset stomach to very bad food. They
will die if they don't always eat something because their metabolism
is drastic. Fasting reaches 36 hours kill them securely.
- Attack names of Q-Bee were extracted from "Makai devil-insect
summa (writer Varbul Mattarayer)". Attack names were re-written
in the nearest language sound of the human world.
Berial foresaw that Makai would be exposed to the crisis sometime
soon. Someone needs large quantities power to maintain unbalanced
world Makai. He foresaw that suitable person as maintainer of
Makai would appear unless after 1,200 year in Aensland family.
He thought to ask Morrigan to look after Aensland family's future
(that is the same as Makai's future for Berial). He merely didn't
chose Morrigan as
ruler's successor. He might look upon her as relative or family.
Of course as succubus, Morrigan was very exception even during the whole of Mazoku (devil race). She had power as much as S class Makai nobles by nature. However, at that time (about 300 year ago), power game was becoming full blast in Makai by the three Makai noble, and skirmish occurred one after the other in various locations. It was unacceptable for anyone that giving sovereignty to a simple childish succubus.
That was not all problems. Childish Morrigan didn't know how to control the tremendous power kept secret. If she was left as she was, there was even danger, which ruined herself with her power goes off accidentally and enormous damage was given to a circumference before became an adult. Berial gave "Isolation and seal of power", and decided to protect her life. The soul of Morrigan was done for two minutes, and the other closed in the space of the seal, which Berial created.
Power didn't become to be 50% simply. Each other powerfully
attracted because the thing that was one from the first was divided
forcibly. Berial prevented her overdrive with closing a part of
her power to himself to control it. Strictly speaking, it was
divided that the soul of Morrigan in three: Morrigan's body, the
seal space, and Berial's body. When these become one she can recover
the original power.
Before recognizing the total amount of ones power, it is difficult
even to sense existence, of course controlling it. Actually, it
was after the death of Berial that Morrigan knew the existence
of "other self".
It was supposed that power sealed was regained to her body after Berial's death, and she get the original power as "The next ruler of Makai", which was hoped by him. However, a part of them being taken in was lost, and Morrigan's power was not returned to 100% just after she born. Moreover......Berial didn't notice a certain accident happened in power sealed.
Power closed came to have "a character" in the space
of the seal. She....Lilith began to recognize self, after several
years from the ceremony of the seal. The heart of Morrigan, which
former herself, sometimes slipped into consciousness of Lilith.
(Morrigan side never noticed this thing.) Lilith knew
Makai, and makes thought grow. That was like very primitive homing
instinct, and a little different from the usual emotion such as
admiration and jealousy. Power is indicated as the strength of
"soul" in Makai. There is no wonder even if a piece
of power divided forcibly is composed as the form of the original,
as "soul". It was a proof that Morrigan had power that
could produce different character.
Lilith gets "substance" by helping the lord of death Jedah's plot of restoration. A attraction of Morrigan and other Darkstalkers were those bargaining points. Because natural Morrigan's power was the source of energy which couldn't be overlooked for Jedah. It didn't know whether Lilith understood the real intention of the Jedah's word "salvation". But she is glad, and enjoys that limit freedom. This "Majigen" is the actual world for Lilith, she finally do "the birth" in the world. Her joy lasts so far as there is a fighter satisfies her curiosity made to grow and there is a purpose that is "return original body". She plays like a child, doesn't know darkness of the evening dusk.......
[About the gender of Lilith]
She is woman physically. Obviously "the temporary figure" which Jedah gave to her is Lilith's hope "the figure which wants to be here" and is a imitation of Morrigan.
It seems that a perfect copy wasn't completed. Though this is a guess, this is why she looks are childish, it will be the expression of her believes that she is not perfect existence. It may be hatched with "the virgin" as a child who yearns for an adult, or a person before becoming "a woman" as well.
There is no conclusive evidence in the point of whether she keeps maintaining that body. In condition the power of Jedah effective, if she hopes "I want to be a man.", she will be to a man as well. If she hopes for the unification with Morrigan strongly, the figure of "a man" as a conqueror will be sometimes taken.
Of course, power or believes is necessary to become substance,
that power makes enormous energy.
Therefore the action is considered to difficult without a providence
of Jedah (or, even if with).

There is a castle of the darkness family in a deep Rumania mountain, which castle appears only at a full moon night. That castle called Salzlereich (named after the administrator of the land.) is the castle of Makai noble Maximoff Family from the first. For 100 over years ago, Demitri Maximoff was exiled from Makai to the human world with that castle. Sunshine is troublesome stuff for Mazoku (devil race). It was more so for Demitri covered all over with wounds by the battle with Berial. If they are directly exposed, the inside of their body organization will be destroyed, and they will disappear. Demitri covered the castle with a covering field (thin film of power) to avoid sunshine and attention with little power that left to him. Then he devoted himself to maintain this field, recover his strength, and cure his wounds. For about 50 years, he never went out of a bedroom of the castle no less than 1 step. While strength had been regained gradually, he uncovered the field and he came to expose skin in night air only at a full moon night.
It began that some human beings appeared by chance in the castle those days. Others came with shoes into the sleep place to steal furniture and treasures of the castle. Where did they hear rumor? They recklessly attacked with a cross, a tree stake, garlic, holy water, or a shotgun with a silver bullet. They must think they could win with those various weapon. Demitri couldn't help smiling bitterly. Such things are little effective than a mosquito against him. Though they were the most vulgar races, their blood let Demitri enjoy. In particular blood of innocent girl was like the best wine that was rarely drunk in Makai. When human beings' blood were sucked, their body and soul were poisoned by evil, then became valets who absolutely loyal to Demitri. At present, about 40 people settle in the castle, and they are taking care of Demitri.
When the original power is recovered about 80%, He will be able to wear the covering field (aura) with power. The field is a powerful thing that can temporarily shut off sunshine. Since Demitri get over light and he can control darkness, he has no weak point. It means that there is no method human beings knock him down with. For 100 years he felt humiliation, but the reward was big. He acquires various ability and wisdom and "the prince of darkness" steadily saves his power to reposition in Makai. Though the attack of universe life Pyron was an event outside his expectation, after that Demitri more and more realized he was the strongest.

Generally, it is said that people of succubus race called lecherous -devil absorb opposite-sex's zowie as their energy source though, the succubus people who live in Aensland area varies a little in ecology. They form special secretion liquid in their body by receiving a mental & physical impulse from outside, and maintain their life with that. Suppose one of them was trapped inside small space, she would die within second day because of very tedium and lack of stimulus. It is because the liquid that is necessary for her life can't be secreted. To make up for that, be that as it may, they became possible that getting other people's "dream". When no stimulus were given to them, that evolution might happen as a result because they have to look for excitement by own. When a creature dreams, special secretion liquid is formed in the brain. A succubus can rob this secretion liquid from the outside. People who is being robbed feels strange sense as if ones dream is entirely carried away by someone. Lack of the memory is very different from that strange sense. The secretion liquid, which was taken by force like this, is dissolved in succubus's body and is composed. Incidentally, their blood and saliva has powerful lustful effect, a human being can have instantaneous death if he take it directly. Their body odor element makes blood vessels dilate, and stimulate a large quantity perspiration. A man being in front of succubus, even if he did mind training very much, doesn't escape from her concupiscence.
It is said that incubus race is the contrary to succubus race. Incubus is not distinction between male and female in a single race, but another obvious race. Though they are treated "lecherous devil" as well as succubus race, their ecology is very different. First off, their looks are not necessarily all "person-type handsome men" in incubuss in comparison with the succubus race that has many "person-type beautiful women". People who has looks of a quadruped beast, which was far from the person-type, and a wyvern occupies 60% of the whole. They have powerful aphrodisiac digestive juice in their body, and pour it to a opponent to be food. Then the opponent's inside element changes, and becomes high intake efficiency food for incubus. That method is like insect or animal. They do with "women" because the effect of the digestive enzyme is very good than men. Therefore, they only eat the man in unavoidable circumstances.
People of the succubus race live to be about 4OO years old though there is a difference in individual. They become adult for several years after born, then their beautiful looks is kept until death. They keep their good looks even when they are old. It is last several hundred-year that their continuance as a seed have been in danger. There is a limit in quantity of zowie that can be taken from the individual. Their range of searching "dream", which was the substitution food, reached even to the human world though, it became more and more difficult to take the amount of satisfactory nutrition. When Morrigan became the successor of Aensland, people of succubus race were about 200 in Makai. Something must be done, otherwise the race would disappears after 1 - 2 generation. But they are not disappointed at that circumstance, and they are enjoying carefree life.

Young Ausie's the charisma, a very good guitarist, a murderer,
and "God of Metal", when did Lord
Raptor's music work start, it was not clear. Only this was clear
he had been not famous until he announced his the first album
"Oral Dead".
The indie album had not many sales, it was partial supported, suddenly it caused a sensation in metal scene.
Lord Raptor was famous in all over Australia, the second album had sold 200,000 for a month, had sold one million for 3 months. But buyer was limited, almost was late teens. They looked not enthusiastic fans but the faithful to a leader who have a lot of charisma.
His fearful death has handed down still. 100 fans's blood had
pulled out for a moment at final live.
Every victims died looked happy. The whole of event is not obvious,
why he became a skeleton for a moment too.
But the other day, a strange leather-bound book was discovered
in L.Raptor's house, it was expected for clues to the event. The
title of the book was "a fragment of Tolakido" which
was written in ancient Hebrew. The book explained existence of
another world, which called "Makai". The sentence very
resembled lyrics of his hit song. To our surprised, the truth
was hidden in translated topic "a curse to give sacrifices
for the king of Makai". The last song was "Sacrifice"
at live which go with 100 peoples. For the first time, the song
was played on that day and it is the last song in his life.
The lyrics were the same as the curse.
By later decipher research, we found out it had to prepare for long time to complete the curse.
L.Raptor had bound sacrifices with music (curse) from the day
which first album was announced. Does
L.Raptor aim to sing a curse with song and to get sacrifices?
Nowadays, it can't be proved anyway.
Songs he left are sold on the market, according to a person who
saw L.Raptor's live, mysterious his voice were lost on CD. After
all, the event have not been got rational explanation. Only we
can say, simple musician couldn't do such the thing, but if a
devil looked after him...
[Lord Raptor Discography]
"Oral Dead"
The first album, which contains a very hit song "Oral Dead".
"Punishment"
The second album. A good CD, which recorded a million seller by
word of mouth.
"Noise of Heaven"
The third album, which is more religious and more ceremonial.
It contains "Soul Beats", its theme is rebirth of soul
and contains "Black Justice", which have a curiosity-hunting
lyrics, which is characteristic of the song.
"Tripper"
The memorial first live album, which gathered 60,000 people in
Southern Cross Hall. It recorded 400 trance people, 18 heart attack
people (died 2 people) in the event. After the event, entrance
restriction became severe and the police began to watch his live.
"Fangorra"
The best album, which contains unpublished songs. There was a
rumor that the album contained 0 track, so it was called in. (Before
the first track, there is no music part 16 minutes, devil's curse
were listen. Actually no music was recorded. After a disturbance,
revisions were sold and first press became premium item.)
"Devil"
His last album. It was released after his death. It contains "Sacrifice"
which played at the suicide live, which became a legend.

Hsien-Ko
Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling have transmigrated by their mother's soul
power who liberated from darkness, and with "Igyo Tenshin
no Jutsu". They were born as children of a family of moderate
means in a certain country, and while they developed they were
surrounded small happy. Their soul had power that inherited as
supernatural-art users from the first. "Shao family"
had that power through the ages. They awoke to the power as holy
power that protect them against every disaster at night when the
16-year-old birthday. There was also mother's repayment for daughters.
However, Jedah sensed this power as "a soul with value".
They dreamed again at night when they awoke to the power. It was
a nightmare that was shown with wave of Jedah's summon. At once,
their souls transferred to "Majigen". As a matter of
fact, at this moment, their body in the real world had just got
to far China, where was Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling's home town and
a legend land that might have died out with the fierce battle
between a supernatural-art user and a inhabitant of darkness.
There were no will of living things in their bodies where souls
passed through. Their body was laid down in the village where
there are no people's signs completely. Did the summon power of
Jedah took their body to that place? They don't have the battle
memory in their former incarnation. They can't understand even
why they are in Majigen. But, they have strong feeling of impatience
that if they didn't win a battle, they would not be able to return
in the real world. Anyway, it is certain to be strange sense like
watching a bad long dream.
They are the figures that are the most suitable for battles in
Majigen. And they got that figures with "Igyo Tenshin no
Jutsu" in the battle with Pyron. This is because their mother
is lending assistance. Though they have the experience as Darkhunters,
they are just ordinary girls now. She thought that they needed
help of supernatural-art to live in the different world where
demons live. Thanks to mother's help, they can use various arts
without their consciousness. However, if sister's relationship
diminished, their power would be lost immediately. It's really
up to the strength of sisterly love whether their soul caught
by Majigen will return admirably.

At present, there are hardly materials written about the country of Anakaris precisely. The following show the sentence that the name of "Anakaris" could be confirmed by in the monument excavated in Egypt. You must take enough time for the judgment and must be careful for the contents hinting at the existence of a super-state, which can turn over the received wisdom of Egyptian archeology.
- Chronological table.
These are recorded things from birth of Anakaris to disappear(?).
The author of these is unknown.
B.C.2669: The 11th emperor Uros was enthroned.
B.C.2664: Anakaris was born as 1st prince of Uros.
B.C.2662: The 2nd prince Eratos was born. (He died soon.)
B.C.2655: The 3rd prince Heterosos was born.
B.C.2652: Uros died (39-year-old), the 12th emperor Anakaris was
enthroned (12-year-old).
B.C.2650: A gravestone (pyramid) building started in order to
his restoration. All people worked to build.
B.C.2635: Heterosos died from a disease.
B.C.2634: The pyramid was completed. About 60,000,000 people had
been mobilized for 16 years.
B.C.2633: Egypt was attacked by a neighbor country, Anakaris died
in the battle (27-year-old). As his wish, his body was put in
the chamber of restoration.
B.C.2632: A neighbor country was invading.
B.C.2630: Anakaris had restored and he refused the attack of the
neighbor country.
B.C.2629: He ruled the neighbor country conversely, expanded his
country. After he said "There is a voice that calls me from
the future.", he disappeared mysteriously.
B.C.26XX: Whole the country disappeared with all people mysteriously.
- 9 commandments of people.
This was discovered with the above chronological table. It is
thought that these are the strict disciplines assigned to people.
1: Make the holy king God.
2: Pray everyday.
3: Must not oppress elders. Must not assign labor to children.
4: Must not be afraid of your death. All lives must be solemn
before the death.
5: Cleanse your home and body with holy sand at daybreak.
6: Must not debt more than earning a day. Must not fail to pay
for more than 10 days.
7: Pray your health and family's and care your health.
8: Must not kill people without a crime. Murderers must deposit
ones' life before the king.
9: Do three good deeds a day.
For yourself.
For other people.
For the king.
- The word of Anakaris when his enthronement.
This was his speech of enthronement, when he was 12-year-old.
It is realized that he had already had overwhelming charisma and
leadership.
Ultimate and immortal.
Only and absolute.
I am the true king of this gold state shining brilliantly, Anakaris
1st.
People who kneel to me will have the right that takes equal providence
under the name of God.
But, when you refuse my providence once and resist me, you have
to be judged under the name of God, then you will be burned with
flame of the hell.
People who look up to the heaven must be granted permanent happiness.
People who look down on the heaven must pay the price of one's
foolishness by dying.
I promise rule forever and I allow that only excellent souls gather
to my knee.

Victor von Gerdenheim
His every research had humane/ethically
problems. He was treated as a danger man that threatened the rights
of the council that the magnates of the academic meeting conspiracy
had completed. Though it was the
epoch-making thing that medical circles were reformed, his research
on "the cellular revival" was a nuisance
to the people who lose their rights by the research. He was the
doctor known as a heretic from the first. The
baseless rumor said he was inhumane, publicity chaser, or addict
of drugs. As a result, not only the academic
meeting but also the world looked down him with suspicion and
contempt. The opportunity of the remark was
denied by force gradually by the pressure of the academic meeting.
Soon he was forgotten by society. But,
he wasn't continuing the research for the fame. It is better that
not
be interested by public for the pure research. He moves his laboratory
to a ghost house of an old hospital in
a country town, and spends the days to stay in the underground
laboratory.
The creation of the new life was the
ultimate goal that charmed him. If only there was enormous electric
power with suitable material, he believed the experiment of proving
his view to be possible by the research
until then. He got materials with every measure and from that
he obtained various mixing goods and medicines
and he was absorbed in the preparation toward coming the day of
life creation. After he moved to the ghost
house, there was no person who saw his figure for 20 years. A
doctor's mind had not been sanity any longer at
this time. His desperate efforts caused a miracle.
- When was Emily made?
Before going into the real experiment, the doctor did the tests
of a human body composition many times. She,
Emily was made as a prototype, which couldn't generate electricity
by herself and could be activated only one
time. Several time's failures were repeated, and Emily finally
activated. But she was only a marionette that
moves by the generating electricity device of the laboratory persistently.
Though limbs could be moved by
amplifying electric device temporarily, she did not have that
condition with 30 seconds.
However there is no change in having
been the success that approached the goal of the life creation.
The
doctor finds the need of a electricity generator that can generate
by oneself and the body enlargement, he
began to design of Victor. It is a mystery that Emily, which was
a prototype, why could move just like Victor
freely. Probably, a large quantity of electric power that charged
in Victor birth was supplied to Emily as
well. It seems that she succeeded in storing constant amount of
the electric power in the inside of her body
by chance.
- How to manufacture a robot
Victor is the best masterpiece Doctor Gerdenheim left. I tried
to reproduce the record the doctor left, as
faithfully as possible in the cause of the process Victor was
manufactured in.
1. Collecting human bodies, which become
material.
As fresh as possible is desirable. To keep the body to correspond
with the enormous amount of storage, it is
enlarged more than standard human body size by combining human
body parts.
2. Sewing up such as frame, muscle, nerve.
3. Transplanting electrostatic property
special synthetic organic fiber to nerve and muscle.
This preparation must not be missed because the necrosis cell
to activated. The manufacturing process of the
synthetic fiber and its raw material are a top secret.
4. Soaking material in the special revival
liquid, and waiting for 200 hours at less than -18 degrees
Celsius.
This work embalms perfectly the material. (The solidification
point of the revival liquid is -20 degrees
Celsius.)
5. Connecting an electrode and a pacemaker with the involuntary muscle of the heart.
6. Circulating charged liquid (= blood).
As well as the revival liquid, the doctor succeeded mixing the
liquid by a miracle as a result of research. It takes several
years to prepare for the one human being unity.
7. Stimulating it with high voltage current.
This is the problem that the doctor was wedged. You must supply
electric power that reaches 100 thousand KW
each 1mm second to the electrode unit more than 20mm. Only a thunderbolt
was reliance for the doctor who
couldn't use large-scale facilities.
- Doctor Gerdenheim left some writings
before his time.
It is very difficult to obtain these books at present.
"Prospect of reactivation of electromagnetic
waves and necrosis cell"
"New boundary between life and death"
"Archen's theorem" (About spiritual electrical energy
that Doctor Gerdenheim put forward.)
"Brain wave amplification phenomenon principle and application
under special conditions"
"Future of resuscitationology"
"Uncut text Lugendolph Report 1, 2" (Articles of Doctor
Lugendolph who is authority on organic cell
research.)
He applied oneself to do the experiment record of the target (=Victor)
latter days of his life. He had
already been insanity so his alphabet was very hard to make out,
and the chemical formula, which a mysterious
sign was partly used for, was spelled with bumper-to-bumper. The
legacy of the doctor who accomplished a
great success of the creation of the life remains unclear.

Croits family is one of Makai seven noble families. Though
its title is a noble, but it is a group of fighters. Present master
Zel is a wyvern and is 5m tall so he has the most unique appearance
of noble classes. Also his followers, who are Makai Beasts, have
a little or much different appearance from human type. But there
isn't meanness and roughness. They have apparent barbarism but
are first-class fighters who are well educated and took training
of fighting. They are an organized group who follow order in strict
discipline. They are fiercely loyal to order of master and have
graceful attitude, which is to kill oneself to expiate one's failure
or betrayal. They are dreaded as "bullet in Makai",
even though they are a few.
Because, they has a powerful suicide attack.
Baraba Croits
Baraba titled "wolf lord" was a fighter of war wolves
and was guardsmen's' boss of Croits family. His eyes looked a
man's who survived life-or-death crises. He had wandered about
the human world once by an event for 20 year. He forgot almost
memory of at that time, but slightly remembered a woman who cared
for him when he was injured and was collapsed.
He bravely played an active role as a fighter of Croits family
since came back to Makai.
Demitri said "He is my best rival on my life." Demitri
felt a kind of esthetics or philosophy of fight in Baraba's fighting.
It was like a kind unwashed men couldn't have. But, after a several
ten years when Baraba returned to Makai, he disappeared all at
once. Present master Zel had vassals searched for Baraba in vain
for a few years. By the grapevine, Baraba returned to the human
world and met again the woman and got married. Needless to say,
no one got into the truth of matter.
Jon's mother died just after bore him. As for his father, he can't find out even his father's back-story. When he found he was Darkstalkers (Werewolf), he didn't hate his folks. His folks were conceptual being for him because he was alone from his earliest recollections. In order to maintain human mind, he cursed at his intangible fate. He didn't have strong mind as strong as to accept the whole and to give free rein to his desires. He followed inner voice and devoted himself to fighting and attaining the ultimate in limits of his ability. It may be his pride as a human against his madness.
As a result of the battle against Pyron, he crushed a curse and regain the shape of a human being but he learned that it is a product of his temporary illusion. After all, it is impossible to clean up one's real nature. His will couldn't change the future. This time, he will confront with a lurk that is the real nature of him in battle of Majigen. Fate that battle caused. In order to escape from a curse, a path he sought to the limits of his ability. He has no choice but to hold on his way even if there is irreversible consequence in the future.

Felicia
Catwoman race existence, sub specific
mankind, was shocking for the human being. However, a big panic
wasn't necessarily caused soon. It fortunately did that their
figure wasn't plainly far from human being and there were many
lovely people of the race and their appearance was fancy to ease
a feeling of refusal. The eyes that turned to them seemed not
awe toward "monsters not human being" but interest in
"rare animals". Growing public opinions was that their
existence should be recognized and respected in America, and they
acquired fundamental human rights soon. But prejudice didn't necessarily
disappear completely. It was reluctant to admit that the musical
that give Felicia the leading role featured as "a show".
The audience who saw that musical was purely fascinated at one
time by both lovely singing voice and sparkly dance of Felicia,
and whether she was a human being made no difference. Happy heart
of Felicia might be effect to cleanse the dark part human being
has.
- The companions of Felicia.
Felicia left a town after the death of her foster parent sister
Rose, and wandered America. She met other Catwoman in there. Their
characteristics, which were common to them, are "They are
living as a human being." In order to live, they were hiding
birth and passing themselves off as a human being as much as possible.
Let's introduce the friends, who rush in a crunch of Felicia,
in the following.
Pico: Child (1). Braid, child-woman. At the time of Please Help
Me.
14 years old (in the human being age, 7 years old). Born in Minnesota.
She was in orphan house, she saw the stage of Felicia, and she
became following Felicia. It was proved that she is Catwoman after.
She is full of curiosity, and fears nothing.
Alto: Child (2). She follows at the time of Ribbon or Dark Force.
20 years old (10 years old). Birth isn't clear. She escaped from
a mansion though she was kept as a rare pet of a certain rich
man. She was living in a mountain, like a beast then protected
by Grace (mentioning later). She is shy and afraid of strangers.
Alto is named by Grace (From the voice quality?).
Nana, Mimi: Child (3), (4). At the time of Ribbon or Please Help
Me.
22 years old (11 years old). Born in Saitama Japan and bred in
Hong Kong. She was taken to Japan by an illicit trade ship when
she was suckling. She was raised under an understanding old-married
couple. She's easygoing.
Nonno: Child (5). Alias Tama. At the time of Please Help Me or
a new victory pose.
A friend of Nana. They got acquainted in a mountain behind in
neighborhood. Her age and background isn't clear. She seems to
like to hide in the ball and to play.
Grace: Adult (1). Ponytail.
48 years old (24 years old). Born in the State of Utah. The protector
of Alto. She is excellent in the ability that turns herself into
the human being, and she can be being with person figure for the
longest time. The substitute mother of Alto. She takes care well.
Lucy: Adult (2). Bandanna.
36 years old (18 years old). Born in Virginia. She worked under
a strolling player troupe. When a friend died, who was the same
generation and few understanding person of human beings, she leaves
the troupe. While wandering, she met Felicia. Cynical and cynic.
A little discredit human being. Physical strength is the strongest
in the companions.
Maybe other several 100 Catwomans are in the whole world at present.
They might see Felicia's' activity and be encouraged certainly.
- The ecology and the life environment.
After they are born as the same ordinary human-being figure, a
change appears in the body hair, ear, tail and so on at the time
of about 4-10 years old, then it is found out that they are Catwoman.
Though there is a difference in individual them, they have "
transformation ability", or mimic ability hiding limbs or
tail to avoid attention. Sense of smell ability is several thousand
times of the human being. They can recognize a companion by the
smell instinctively. They don't like the sunshine. They mainly
act at night.
- About the sex, the reproduction.
There is no man in Catwoman race as its name suggests. There are
Catwomans that married a human man though, the child is a just
ordinary human being. They can't leave descendants of the same
seed at present. There might be a reason why the existence of
man (Catman?) of this race isn't probably suitable for the human
world.

When Rikuo managed a kingdom, there were 30,000 people. When Pyron invaded the earth, an underground lake collapsed because of an eruption of an underground volcano and most of the people were swallowed up to a dark abyss for a moment.
Now, there are three people of merman race (and mermaid race). One of them is Rikuo, his wife Aqueria, and his son Alba. Besides, there are 12 eggs, which will hatch at once.
In order to reconstruct the kingdom, they moved their home a sea, which is fresh ground for them. Rikuo's present job was to search his mates. It is possible his mate exist in somewhere. Since his mates were thrown to this vast sea, they may be calling for help.
Now, Rikuo and others are living in an
about 150m deep crack, which is opening a vast continental shelf.
There isn't either an ocean current or foreign enemies so that
the geographical features are convenient to defend eggs. Rikuo
searches a radius of 200km from there for mates. There is quite
a deep oceanic trench and a fast ocean current around here. If
Rikuo fell into the oceanic trench, he couldn't swim against the
ocean current. And, he can't search sea deeper than 1000m.
It was extraordinary work but Rikuo believed existence of mates. This is why he had perceived reaction of a little life that seemed the same family since they moved their home this sea.
The more a limit he searched day by day,
the little time he and his family had. Alba disappeared while
he was not at home for a long time.
"Can a man who can't ensure his family defend the kingdom?"
I always reconstruct the kingdom eagerly and am losing sight of
precious things...
Rikuo is driven a lot of reflection and self-discipline.
What is Battle in Majigen going to bring to his mind?
Encounter his wife Aqueria
Aqueria is an ordinary girl of mermaid
race. Before the eruption, she was swimming on the outskirts of
the kingdom by chance and was swallowed up by the eruption of
the underground volcano. When she came to, she was alone and was
thrown out to the ground, which is fresh ground for her. She was
in a dense forest of Amazon. She couldn't find how to go home
so that she looked about for a watering place anyway. After a
half day, she found a fresh water lake, which looked a pool, and
settled at last. (Rikuo visited the lake often.)
She had waited for a few days but her mates didn't come to save
her. She made up her mind and discovered the entrance to a vein
of underground water that was connected the bottom of the lake
and she went home.
After that, she looked at a cruel mark of the kingdom, which was swallowed up to a big dark abyss. She intuitively understand losing her mates, she dropped on to her knees with no word. Nevertheless, she had still hoped. She quite trusted King Rikuo especially. She believed as he had escaped the disaster, he was surviving in somewhere and he would come to save me. Aqueria believing was fulfilled, after a half year, the girl and the king met again. That was a sign of new love and was the moment a new kingdom began.
About a organizational structure of the kingdom
Rikuo's country is different a little
from monarchic government. There isn't a general idea of the Royal
family. The king's predecessor nominates next king and abdicates
the throne with obtaining people's consent. Peoples are ranked
with an ability, they are united strongly and keeping a relationship
of mutual trust. Being ranked with an ability don't mean a social
position but sharing in work that they're good.
One caters for people, one defends one's mates against its enemies,
one creates habitats, or one cares for one's children. In various
work, caring for one's children is important male's work. (By
the way, caring for female children is female's work.)
Plainly speaking, transformation ability indicates people's strength intelligibly. It is important subject for those who is caring for whose children that teaching the ability. The transformation ability isn't to change of appearance, but must catch on an ability of something one transformed.
A man excelling especially in this skill
wins everyone's esteem.
Above all, Rikuo could accomplish the highest-level job.
He is the best teacher for his son Alba.
Their reproduction
They have reproductive periods, which
is called oviposition periods. Those periods correspond from 16
to 22 year old in human age. They bear eggs two times in a year
and bear from 10 to 20 eggs generally.
As a rule, a couple has borne from 60 to 120 eggs for life. Although,
10 percent of the eggs can hatch.
From 0.2 to 0.5 percent of the eggs can be going to grow adult.
Because there aren't powerful enemies, the birth rate might decrease
more and more every year. Also, the underground lake they lived
in was fresh water one hundred years ago, but seawater had entered
for last several 10 year and salt concentration increased. This
is why Rikuo and others can't resist to seawater and might be
factor for decreasing of the birth rate.

Sasquatch
- The village of Bigfoot.
The village of Bigfoot is in a certain basin on the Rocky Mountains,
Canada. It is surrounded by some sheer precipices. There is a
big fresh-water lake on the downside. The lake's surface is covered
with thick ice field. From there, Bigfoot catches and eats fish
and shells as their principal food.
Head count is about 100. They may be like a big family more than
a tribe by their sense. It is very cold at about 30 degrees below
zero, and snowstorms blow beyond 20m per second hard and strong
around the crevasse that is the entrance of the village. It is
not a place where a human being can come in easily. Even if he/she
reached their village by chance, if their feelings are hurt, it
would be difficult to return safely.
- The incredible developed communication network.
Makai Mail, Makai-Earless-Seal race serves, has an original network.
It is Bigfoot's information source and it prove cultural or modern
standard of living. (While Sasquatch went on the expedition, they
could exchange latest news about their self by "Stone Mail".)
Since its delivery area covers the whole earth, it can send mails
to the South Pole or the North Pole in four days. They are probably
thanks to Makai beast, Mach-Crab race (helmet crab when Rikuo
appear).
- Interchange between Bigfoot race and human being.
They are not a belligerent race. They are rather friendly toward
a different race as long as you have manners. They show human
being friendship with diplomacy if you treat them as "friends"
not "barbarous fierce animals" or "rare beasts
for a show". "Human sincerity" means "bananas"
or other "delicious food" for Bigfoot. The food is essential
to keep good relations.
- Interchange with a lot of Makai living things.
The penguins that appear in Dark Force are Snowslide Penguin.
They are companionｓ living in Bigfoot's village. They heard the
story of missing villagers, and they are cooperating with Sasquatch.
It can't help crying by impression in their desperate attack.
Snowman belong Snowman race, which is a kind of Makai living things.
They are friends of Sasquatch too. They have an ability that makes
it snow or makes temperature down. To back up, they are following
Sasquatch to Majigen. (In fact, to applause.)
A new comer, Snow-Beast race (the sled dog that appears at Big
Sled), which is a kind of Makai living things, is very shy. They
are friendly to Bigfoot race, but they don't come around much.
Though, when it is urgency, they rush quickly, and pull Sasquatch
powerfully. They are a dependable supporter.
The Makai Beast who is Sasquatch's friend for many years is Makai
Small Whale. A blow of his huge tail is powerful as before. There
have been interchanges since the elder Tundra was young. It feels
like his excellent support is expert's technology.

- An accursed armor, Hannya
It is a Makai beast to be the same as Le Malta and came into the
human world about 600 years ago. A military
chieftain, Oda Nobunaga wore the armor (Its outfit was different
from now's). It gives a person who is
wearing it unusual abilities but then it changes the person to
a murder who wants much blood. It moistens
with bounced blood. On the other hand, the person is robbed his/her
vitality. After war-torn age subsiding,
it was handed down to antiquarians and high rollers then invited
all owners to a horror story.
- The blood-sucking Youtou, Kien
In 1580s, a blade smith of a certain country made a celebrated
sword, "Onikiri". Generally, a sword is
damaged with human beings' fat and blood it cut. But "Onikiri"
became more and more sharp, maybe thanks to
its subtle wavy incurves. It was scared as a diabolic sword because
it fostered illusions of clinching body in
men's mind. It was handed as a tradition that if the owner hadn't
killed man a day, he would have died.
After civil war period, the trace of the sword was lost. 10 years
after, it came back to a collector as a
set with "Hannya". It had already been affected by miasma
of Makai and changed its chiseled name to "Kien".
The cause is unknown.
- Meeting with Bishamon
When Bishamon looked at an armor and sword in the secondhand shop
he knew, he felt someone's strong awe,
lost consciousness for a time. When coming to, he was in home.
There was an armor and sword by him.
From what he confirmed, he aggressively made the master of the
shop give these stuff me and went away with
it by force. He didn't remember doing that. It was not clear to
him, but he felt it was meaningless to
thought about that reason while looking at the armor in front
of him. He had been married to Orin. Since he
had been sitting in front of armor for days, she recommended he
should give up it, but he didn't listen.
After two weeks, he threw off her do-or-die inhibitions and he
wore the armor. At the moment, he came to his
senses and took a hint of going with the wind anymore. Then he
screamed that with his last ounce of
strength,
"Get away, get away, Orin!"
After that, he disappeared with the armor.
Also his wife, Orin disappeared and it was not clear if she's
living or not.
- After he separated from Hannya
After the battle with Pyron, Bishamon could escape from spellbinding
of the armor for a while. To make up
for his crime, he went into religion with wife Orin, and became
a penance priest. The penance he did is
called "Roppoudou", a kind of Syugendou. The existence
of devils was known as "living things who made harm
in the person's world" even in Japan in those days. The penance
to have the supernatural power which match
the power of darkness for a human being, is "Roppoudou".
There is effect to bring stability of the mind to a
human being in this penance. Also various worldly desires in oneself
were purified and one's soul cleaned in
this penance, Bishamon rather looked for that effect. The penance
with traveling the whole country brought
composure to his heart gradually.
After several years, he found the book
written about the different world of "Makai" when he
dropped in at a
certain old temple. To his surprise, it was drawn in the book
that the armor, "Hannya", Youtou "Kien" and
other specters wandering in hell. Bishamon thought about that
should I give free rein to them just like
this. A careless person would appear again, like him. He thought
that he couldn't making up for his crime,
but may be able to prevent repeating the same tragedy. What will
I be afraid of, since I was obsessed by
devilism once? Bishamon start secluding himself in a deep snow
mountain to attempt contact with "Makai". He
did religious meditation and tin stick to defeat devils was placed
on his knee, and he prayed. When his
spiritual strength reached to its limit, could looked over the
far different world with the eyes of his
heart. "Wait, Hannya...I will purify your evil with this
holy power!"

A certain country in South America.It was the country which
didn't bear a civil war.It was destroyed with the bullet, and
the remains of the ancient civilization which prospered long ago
became the mountains of the soil.One boy got into the back of
the remains.He lost a friend by the flames of war with the house
and the parents.As for him, there was no place to go besides.The
inside of darkness found the doll of soil that he is strange and
to shine, and it was approached.At that time, the surroundings
of them were wrapped in the flash.The hatred of the quarrel connected
remains with another world.
"Please give me a command,my master....."
The ultimate guardian Huitzil started to protect the boy for who
to be a new master.
