Extra Character Details (Description): Kyojin is a monster of a man, and this is not only because of his immense size. The man has been cursed with many genetic diseases, most of which have disfigured him horribly -- Gigantisim, Elephantitis, Neurofibromatosis type I. His height towers over all men, making him a spectacle when he walks out in the town, but these are rare occurrences.
By far, Kyojin’s most frightening feature is his head. His right eye is right in front of a bone tumor, causing it to extrude from its socket and bear a most awful red color, while the other is slightly sunken in and green. The hair atop his head is dark and beautifully thick, but the scars that riddle his skull causes his beautiful hair to be a deformity, as it now grows in thick clumps and patches. His ears are large, with weak muscles so they are slightly droopy. His mouth is slightly misshapen, as the jaw on his right side bends outward, making it hard for him to eat and slurring his speech.
Kyojin’s torso is slightly bent forward, due to minor scoliosis in his upper spine. On his right shoulder is a tattoo of an oni, showing his allegiance to Momo and the Chikata group.
Just below his torso are, of course, Kyojin’s legs. The appendages are plagued with Elephantitis, causing them to look as if they have ‘exploded’. Due to their appearance, children have been known to call him "Tree-trunk Legs."
Kyojin’s clothing is usually just a simple gray shirt and pants, when off duty. When he is guarding Momo, however, his clothing is the usual gray garb, but he also wears armor that resembles that of a shogun -- it consists of a helmet, faceplate, chest piece, and large gauntlets. The gauntlets he wears are thick enough to function as brass knuckles, should he ever loose his kanabo in battle.

History:
The Conception
Kyojin’s history is one that is bathed in darkness, beginning with his mother. His mother was a beautiful woman, who worked as a geisha in a popular resort. Jun could dance, sing and anything else that dealt with the entertainment of others. She loved her work more than anything else in the world; however one man found her to be everything in a woman he wanted. This man was a wealthy diplomat, who owned more than his fair share of land. At every opportunity he had, the man tried to woo Kyojin’s mother with offering of money and priceless gems, but still she denied her love to him. She always replied with the same answer, “Love cannot be bought.”
Soon the man became distraught; he spent his vast fortune trying to woo this one infatuation. He became poor begging on the streets for money so that he could see Jun’s stunning performances. Eventually he was banned from the primacies, as he disgusted the other guests with his nasty appearance. This simple act hurt him more than anything. His mat was right outside the inn making him so close yet so far from the woman he wanted to be with so badly that he spent his fortune on, in the attempt at happiness; however this would soon end.
One day, Jun walked the streets alone, in the light of a full moon. Her pale face was vibrant in the moonlight, with a gentle radiance that made her seem to be of the spirits. More than anything, she was open. The man took every advantage he could on this night, cornered Jun, and bludgeoned her brutally with a makeshift tonfa. With the woman at his mercy then proceeded to have his way with her, threatening to end her life if she should ever tell another soul what had transpired that night..
Months passed, wounds healed, and Jun’s former beauty return. She was soon performing again, but not for long. Jun’s stomach grew large with child, forcing her to quit what she loved so dearly. The other workers wanted her to stay, but the shame was too great for Jun to bear. She never returned to the inn.
The Birth
While most births are celebrated events with many family members at a clean hospital, the birth of Kyojin was Jun’s best kept secret. The monster’s birthplace was a dirty one room apartment. The only other mortal to see his birth was Jun’s landlady, who ran from the home as soon as she saw the infant. “Demon!” She shouted as she slammed the door behind her.
Having heard the landlady’s terror ridden voice, Jun was appalled at how the woman spoke of Jun’s child; although her emotions did not stay that way for long. Her infant truly did look like a demon’s spawn. The very sight brought tears to her eyes, as she clutched the infant close the her chest. As horrid a beast he was, the infant was still her child and she loved every part of him. She would name him Toshiro.
Age 9
From the birth till the age of nine, Toshiro’s mother had done her best to hide any mirror that she could from the child. She wanted him to think he was normal, hoping that the act would help the child’s confidence, but this would all end when he escaped into the world. Everything went well as he played with the local children. The youths were kind and accepting of his deformity, but it all ended when their parents saw who they were playing with.
The parents were cruel, telling the children that he wasn’t right and that they should not play with him; especially since they knew of the rumors about his mother. This influenced the children’s views of Toshiro, but the unfortunate youth would not know of this till he returned to play again.
That night, Toshiro told his mother of how he played with the other children and she smiled warmly at him. It was always her wish that he could make friends; the smile on his face was just a bonus. Perhaps she would be able to watch him play with the other children that next day -- his birthday.
Happy Birthday
The next day, Jun followed Toshiro the an open lot, where he played with the children just yesterday, and just as they had done yesterday they were playing with their wooden toy and playing onigokko. Smiling he waved at them and they headed toward him, carrying their toys. Expecting them to want to play as they had done yesterday he ran to them only to be greeted by their toys, feet, and fists. His mother was horrified at the sight and tried her best to pull them off of her child, but there were too many. They beat the poor creature until his head bled profusely and was riddled with concussions. It was a miracle that the boy survived. His mother would never let him outside again.
Kyojin
The years following the incident were hard for Jun. She not only had a deformed child, but also a mentally handicapped child as well; it was almost too much to bear. Every time she ran into trouble, Jun would run with her son. The toll was even greater on Toshiro, who was now fit to bursts of rage, where he would often black out and hurt those near to him. A prime example would be his mother.
At the age of 18 Toshiro saw himself for the first time ever. In the reflection of a tub of water, there he was, a monster. The sight enraged and upset Toshiro. He let out cries of rage and sadness as he looked into the water. ‘Why did he look like this? Who was to blame for his appearance? Mother, that’s who. She was ashamed of making him look like this so she didn’t tell him.’ These thoughts led to the destruction of his beloved mother.
A year later, he left and became a wanderer, moving from town to town, staying only long enough to eat and move on. Eventually he met Momo, a leader in the Chikata group and a nice person. He soon began to follow the Chikata leader, believing him to be both kind and of the fairer sex. Eventually he began thinking of Momo as a mother and joined the Chikata group to protect this “woman”. Once he was in the group, Toshiro cleansed himself of his past name and took the name which the children called him long ago, Kyojin.
