Profile


Looks pretty intimidating and he actually is. He is remarkably calm and level-headed in any situation. Treats others kindly and gives them lots of advice if they need it, so it goes without saying that many look to him for advice. While he does have the aura of a wise old man, he does, however, have a youthful streak. He has his eyes set on the latest fashion trends and spends his off days browsing social media, cleaning, experimenting in the kitchen, or people-watching in the city.

His origins are unknown other than the fact that he was framed for a horrendous he didn't commit and was banished from the heavens to the human world, where he now spends his time tailing Sara, a college student with her own emotional baggage to carry. Once he assimilates to mortal society, he is able to retain a normal, part-time job assisting an elderly woman in her tea shop, and offers to help Sara. To make ends meet in regards to her rent problem, she finally decides to let Yu stay. 

Yu shares no special bond with any other beings besides Sara and a kijo, named K (Batsouppe's oc), who occasionally frequents the humble abode to eat whatever new meal Yu cooked up or to cause trouble. While Yu and Sara are close friends and roommates, K is more like a ... chaotic gremlin of a sibling for lack of a better description. They have known each other for quite some time, as their first meeting was a rough start to their relationship: After being banished from the skies for his crimes, Yu had wandered into a different realm, in his dragon form and covered in divine-inflicted wounds that would prove lethal to his immortal life and missing his right mystic eye in the process. Not long after, he stumbled onto K, a powerful kijo that, albeit hesitantly at first, cared for his mangled body that was in the brink of madness and death. Being a surprisingly fine tinkerer, K created a fake prosthetic eye for Yu and he was able to control his powers. Then one thing led to another and they became inseparable despite their sibling rivalry for each other. On times she isn't there to cause mischief or gorge on morsels of food, she would make sure to keep top-tier maintenance on Yu's prosthetic eyeball or begrudgingly assist him with cleaning.

Yu was able to retain many of his powers after being banished to the human realm, but rarely ever uses them unless prompted to. He uses glamours to change his physical appearance, which is why he possesses a human form. He also has his dragon-god form and even a female form. In theory, he is able to pretty much transform into anything, even other animals or people, but keeps glamour-switching to a minimum since he has limited power in the mortal realm. He is primarily a water-type of dragon god, though he has a knack for earth as well, hence "Yu", or in English, "Jade" and his overall sea-foam/blue/green color palette.
