Ver 1.0 - To my knowledge, everything is done and included in this faq.

Introduction and Opening Statement
The purpose of this FAQ is to finally give a coherent presentation of the
storyline of Capcom's Vampire series. This FAQ relies on official statements
and confirmations from stuff that is canon, as well as using info from the
games to determine stuff that is PROBABLY part of the official canon storyline.
If I don't have a complete 100% assurance, even if it's only a slight bit of
doubt on a bit of info, that bit of info shall be marked as such.
Capcom has been known to retroactively change their storylines and established
canon. Due to this, if you see something in an older game and there's a new
version of it in a newer game, take the new version and forget the old. This
FAQ goes by the latest most up to date version of the storyline which is the
currently official one, and it shall continue to try to keep up to date.
However, I shall try to mention times when Capcom has retroactively changed
already established parts of the storyline.
Another note, because for some reason, people don't seem to realize this.
THERE ARE NO ANIMES, MANGAS, MOVIES, COMIC BOOKS, OR GRAPHIC NOVELS THAT
OFFICIALLY ARE PART OF THE CANON. Capcom doesn't care about reviewing all
these 10000s of animes, mangas, graphic novels, and doujinshis to check if
their storyline complies with the canon. Capcom did not MAKE any of those
animes, mangas, or graphic novels. They simply licensed out the Vampire name
and characters to others, but they DID NOT review any of the storylines of what
the people did with said license (for the express purpose of making it comply
with the canon. Obviously, they'd check to make sure the content wasn't say...
too 'inappropriate').
**********************************
I. Timeline and Canon Games
This is the order that the games within the Vampire plot's
universe takes place. The majority of these dates are official statements.
Vampire Hunter/Night Warriors - took place in 1983
(VH overwrites the story of V, originally, it took place in 1991)
Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers 3 - took place in 1999
Yup, those two are the only games that are canon. Yea, it's not much but
Capcom hasn't released that many Vampire games so it's alot less compared to
other fighting games.
**********************************
II. Vampire/Darkstalkers
Released Date: July 1994(Japan)
Gameplay: Vampire was a one-one fighting game just like Street Fighter 2.
This was the game that started the anime-ish graphics that are seen in almost
every Capcom 2d fighter. It introduced many new gameplay systems as well
such as chain combos, guard cancels, etc.
Story: Skip this part since VH overwrites it
**********************************
III. Vampire Hunters/Night Warriors
Release Date: March 1995(Japan)
Gameplay: The remake of V/DS. Added two new characters and many new gameplay
elements.

in darkness, come to me." Ten darkstalkers answered to the call and arose.
At the same time, two darkhunters also came out of darkness.
The only fight that Capcom has explained was between Demitri and Pyron. And
this battle ended with Demitri consuming Pyron and becoming stronger.
**********************************
IV. Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers III
Release Date: May 1997(Japan)
Gameplay: The third game in the Vampire series, this game plays along the
same system as the previous but adds many new gameplay elements. Some of
these were the Impact Damage Gage, Dark Force, etc.

He believes that he is the one that needs to recreate life by fusing all
souls into one life form, "the Shintai". To do this, he creates the Majigen
and summons those with worthy souls into his realm.
Again, only one battle has been explained by Capcom and that was between

"Ultimate and immortal. The only and absolute.
I am the true king of this golden kingdom which shines brilliantly. Anakaris
the first.
Those of you who kneel to me are granted the right to be protected equally
under the name of god.

one's own life I promise my eternal rule and I allow only souls worthy to
gather to my knee's.

Anita
Height: 84cm
Weight: 13kg
The small girl that always follows Donovan around. She carries am old
doll that seems to be a memento of her mother. She had always been with
Donovan ever since she was adopted by him from her orphanage. Because of
her un-human powers, she was shunned from society. This caused her to lose
her emotions. She regained her emotions back as Donovan lost his humanity.
She is also the one destined to become the ruler of the humans. The girl
that Jedah talks about in his ending.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Initially, Anita was supposed to appear in VS as well. She was supposed
to be fully grown, in her mid-20's. But that was cut due to it not having
much of an impact.
***
Aulbath/Rikuo
Height: 184cm
Weight: 62kg
Race: Merman
Birthplace: Brazil
Birthdate: 1953
Deep beneath the Amazon, lied a kingdom of the 30, 000 mermen. One day,
this peaceful aquatic empire was shattered and destroyed by a tremendous
earthquake and volcanic eruption. The merman emperor and hero Aulbath, was
alone., his empire destroyed. He was filled with rage and when he found out
that Pyron was the one who caused the fall of his empire, he vowed to
destroy him. But when he met another survivor, Aqueria, he settled down with
her to rebuild his empire. He and his wife moved out of the Amazon into the
great ocean to raise their family. Currently, family consists of his wife
Aqueria, his three sons and 12 soon to hatch eggs.
Rikuo and his family live in a crack, 150m deep. The current of the ocean
doesn't make it's way into the area and is a perfect location to protect
their eggs from danger. His current job is to search for any other survivors
of his kingdom. He searches in a radius of 200km for any other surviving
mermen's. Though close to his home is a deep oceanic trench and a fast ocean
current runs through it. If Aulbath fell into the teach, even he couldn't
swim against the strong current. And the deepest he could search was 1000m
deep.
It was a endless search but Aulbath believed that other mermen's had
survived. Ever since he and his family had moved to this sea, although very
faint, he had sensed the life of something similar to his own race.
As days pass, his search for his fellow merman increases in area and the
time he spends with his family decreases. During one of his searches, one
of his sons, Aruba/Allba disappears. He ponders to himself about how one
could defend a kingdom if he cannot protect his own family. Believing that
his son was sucked into the Majigen, Aulbath heads his way into Jedah's
realm. But when the powers of Makai start to fade, the dark sea of Sargasso
was opened and Aulbath found his son along with a new race of merman. The
two families now help to build the civilization of the sea.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Aqueria was an ordinary female of the merman race. At the time of the
destruction of her kingdom, she had been swimming on the outskirts of the
kingdom. She was swallowed by the current caused by the eruption. When she
awoke, she was thrown into an unknown world, onto land. She had been thrown
into the dense forest of the Amazon. Not knowing how to get home, she
searched for any place with water. After searching for half a day, she found
a lake which was like a puddle of water.
(This was a lake Aulbath visited often).
She waited for a few days but there was no signs of her friends coming to
save her. After making up her mind, she follows a faint smell to an entrance
to an underground river. She then makes her way back to her kingdom.
When she came back, she saw her kingdom swallowed by a dark crack in the
sea. She intuitively realizes that she had lost all her friends and crumbles
to the ground without any words. But she still had not lost hope. She
believed that king Aulbath would have somehow survived the disaster and he
is still alive somewhere. And that he will come save her soon.
After believing and waiting for half a year, the young girl and Aulbath
are re-united. A new love is born and the beginning of a new kingdom had
started.
The structure of Aulbath's former kingdom
Aulbath's kingdom is different from a Monarchic government/Imperical Rule.
There are no royal families. Each king is chosen by the previous king after
obtaining the people's consent, the next king is chosen. Every merman is
given a rank and they are strongly united and they keep a mutual trust with
this. The ranks do not mean a social position but it is more used to give
each one a job that suits them.
Those who gather food, those who protect their own from danger, those who
create habitats, those who care's for the young. Out of these many jobs,
raising the young is usually done by the males.(The females are raised by
their own mothers)
In the case of males, their mimicking abilities is usually used to scale
their strength level. It is important for those caring for the young to
teach the young this ability. This mimicking ability is not just changing the
appearance but to also use the ability of which they are mimicking. One who
excels in this win's everyone's respect.
Aulbath had cleared this ability beyond anyone else. It can be said that
for his son Alba, he is the greatest teacher.
Reproduction
The merman race have reproductive periods. The average time for Merman's
to lay eggs is around the human age of 16 to 22. They bear eggs two times
within one year averaging about 10 to 20 eggs. On average, a couple lays 60
to 120 eggs. But only 10% of these hatch and out of those, only 2 to 5 % of
these survive. A few hundred years ago, the lake they used to live in was
fresh water. But within the last 10 or so years, sea water had flowed in and
caused the salt level to rise. This may have been the reason why Aulbath and
his family could live in the sea without much trouble against the salt
level. But this may also be the reason for the decreasing birth rate.

Bulleta/BB Hood
Height: 142cm
Weight: 37kg
Race: Human(DarkHunter)
Birthplace:
Birthdate: unknown. her age is around 10 to 14
BWH: B70.W58.H75
Many creatures from Makai has already flowed into the human world. Many of
these creatures have high values for humans. Items usable for decorations,
materials that doesn't exist in the human world such as the liquid and blood
from the internal organs. Research for bio weapons and such, the demand for
these are very high. A Darkhunter is a job that was born to meet the demand
for these clients.
These hunters hunt down creatures and get the reward money corresponding
to the creature they hunt. The risk level is very high but the reward is just
as high. But because they hunt the creatures of the night, failure is not an
option. Failing would mean one thing, death. To fight against these creatures,
having a fit body, martial arts skills and fire arms are not enough. It is
possible for a class C creature to kill an entire army of first class elite
soldiers. A strong mind/spirit is needed to keep one self from losing their
own sanity is needed. And a dark heart is needed so that they are not poisoned
with the aura that the creatures give off.
Several hundred darkhunters are said to exist in the world. Their skills
varying greatly. Some of these hunters can barely kill a wild beast from
Makai, let alone a darkstalker. Within these hunters, Bulleta is a
"special S class" hunter. Her dark heart was dark enough that Jedah considered
her a darkstalker and pulled her into the Majigen as a worthy soul. Her stare
alone can cause the lower ranking darkstalkers to be filled with fear, and
she is able to deflect many kinds of mind attacks. It would be fair to say
that she was born to be a hunter.
When she was pulled into the Majigen by Jedah, she simply looked around
and said,
"Fufu, they're all mine....it's been a long time since a job this big."
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Not much is known about the darkhunter, Bulleta's past. Below is a part of her
daily life
- Attending the conference Hunters Guild of the Northern European Alpine
Branch to secure part of the final profit, interchanging with the other hunters
is necessary
- Obtaining weapons and ammunition through illegal means.
A first class job requires first class materials
- Maintaining portable weapons at home. To every hunter, skipping this is
suicidal
- Making gunpowder mixtures for mines. Continuously researching is a sign of
professional
- Going to town to buy food and clothing, and going to grandmothers house to
do errands. Her girl side can be seen here
- Training for controlled shooting (eg. shooting 50 targets while 100m dash)
Basic training is the foundation for advanced stuff. One must not forget to
always return to the basics
- Using the satellite "CATASTROPHE"(a camouflaged military satellite), retrieve
information on darkstalkers. Information gathering is the key to the current
hunter business. One must use any means possible to eliminate the target.
- Enter the "Dark Hunting Gran Pix" held twice a year.(A target is decided
upon and they would compete to see would hunt it down first) This is to
competition for the hunters to test their own skills. But not all hunters
compete in this tournament.
The darkhunter occupation has grown considerably, it has only started
within a year. This occupation is quite different from what Donovan, a
half-human half-demon, does out of fate.
Her two year old pet dogs name is Harry. The two guys who appear in beautiful
hunting are Arthur and John.

Bishamon
Height: 190cm
Weight: 60kg(Hannya only)
Race: Accursed Samurai
Birthplace: Japan
Birthdate: 1673
When Bishamon was looking around in his friends old antique shop, as if
drawn by fate, he found a piece of armor and a sword. At this moment, he lost
his own thought. When he realized where he was, he was at his house. The
armor and sword sitting beside him. when he went back to the store to ask
what happened, he found out that he aggressively forced the owner to give
the armor and sword to him. Bishamon himself had no memory of this. It made
no sense to him but as he stared at the armor, it felt meaningless to him.
At the time, he had a wife named Orin. She worried about Bishamon as he sat
in front of the armor for days. She asked Bishamon to let go of the armor
and sword but Bishamon heard nothing of it. Two weeks later, he decides to
wear the armor ignoring his wife.
The moment he wore the armor, he came back to his sense's. He realizes
that everything was too late and screams with the last bit of strength he has.
"Run......Run, Orin!!"
Bishamon's mind was full of hate and accursed power. He had donned Hannya,
the armor of hate and Kien, the blood sucking sword. He went on countless
days of killing as Hannya demanded more sacrifices.
When Bishamon had fought against Pyron, Pyron's energies caused Bishamon
to be separated from Hannya's curse. To make up for his sin's, he and his wife
became priests/monks. The practice he had started was called "Roppoudou". This
practice gave it's followers a strong mind and would cleanse the mind and
spirit it's followers. Traveling throughout Japan brought peace to his heart
again.
Several years later, he had stopped by an old temple. There, he found
writings about a separate dimension called "Makai". Within these writings
contained drawings depicting the armor, "Hannya", and the sword, "Kien" and
other creatures similar to those two in what seemed like hell. Bishamon
thought to himself, a careless person like himself may appear again. He
thought that he may not be able to make up for his sins, but he may be able
to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. He had already walked the
path of darkness, he had nothing to fear.
To make contact with this, "Makai" he secluded himself within a deep snowy
mountain. He sat down and held the Shakujou and started to meditate. When his
spiritual strength had reached it's peak, he could see that of a different
world with the eye's of his heart. He was determined to seal Hannya at any
cost.
At the same time, Hannya had started to thirst for blood once again. Even
without having a master this time, the armor and sword started to move again.
They gathered all the spirits around them to create a body and moved out to
hunt darkstalkers and their blood. Hannya had liked the Bishamon and kept that
name as well. When Hannya and Kien moved out, they were sucked into the
Majigen. But before Hannya could kill, Bishamon had caught up to him and
sealed him away. After these events, Bishamon had disappeared and is thought
to have lead a peaceful life.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
The cursed armor, Hannya
Hannya was formerly a Makai beast like Le Malta. It is thought that it
came into the human world roughly 600 years ago. Oda Nobunaga had also worn
the armor(the appearance was different). The armor would grant it's master
un-human abilities but in return would turn them into a blood thirsty killer.
The armor would shine the more blood it bathed. While the person wearing it
would lose their life slowly and slowly.
After the age of war had ended, it would travel using antique shops to
find new people for it to wear.
The blood thirsty sword, Kien
In the 1580's, a sword was forged by the name of "Onikiri". As a sword is
used to cut a human, it's edges would dull because of the fat and blood
within a human body. But the Onikiri became sharper as it cut more people due
to the way it's edges were made. People feared the sword to due the illusion
that it would suck into a human body. It was said that if the user did not
kill one man a day, the sword would drive it's user insane and kill them.
After the time of peace had come, the Onikiri had disappeared for roughly
ten years only to come back in a set with Hannya. By this time, it had already
been affected by the aura of Makai and had changed it's own name to "Kien".
The cause is unknown.
Taro the dog in Bishamon's bg was considered a worthy soul and transported to
the Majigen.

Demitri Maximoff
Height: 197cm
Weight: 101kg
Race: Vampire
Birthplace: Romania
Birthdate: 1483
Deep within the mountains of Romania lies a castle that appears only on a
full moon. The castle, named after the owner of the land, was called
Zeltzereich. This castle belonged to a Makai noble, Demitri Maximoff.
Roughly 100 years ago, he had challenged Belial Aensland. He lost the
battle and was exiled from Maki to the human world with his castle. Sunlight
was something that was troublesome for people of Makai. Especially for
Demitri, who was wounded severely from his battle with Belial. If he were to
be directly exposed, his body would be destroyed from the inside and he
would disappear.
To avoid the sunlight and humans, he used what he had left of his powers
and created a field to cover his castle. He used this field to recover his
strength and heal his wounds. For 50 years, he stayed within his casket. As
he slowly regained his strength, he would step out only one a full moon with
a field around his body.
By this time, there were already people that would wonder into the castle.
They would somehow hear rumors of treasure's within the castle. They would
bring crosses, stakes, garlic, holy water and silver bullets thinking they
were safe and recklessly attack Demitri. Demitri couldn't help but smile as
such weapons had no effect on him. To Demitri, humans were a low class vulgar
race, but he enjoyed their blood. He enjoyed the blood of innocent girls the
most. To him, it was like drinking the best wine in Makai. Those who had their
blood sucked by Demitri had their body and soul poised with evil. They would
become loyal servants to Demitri. Currently, 40 people settle in Demitri's
castle and care for Demitri.
When Demitri recovered 80% of his powers back, he was able to temporarily
create an aura around him that would protect him from sunlight. Demitri had
conquered both night and day and had no weaknesses. There was no means for
humans to defeat him. After 100 years of humiliation for his loss, he had
gained alot. He acquired various new abilities and knowledge. The Prince of
Darkness steadily readied himself to take over Makai once again.
The presence of an alien life form on Earth was an unexpected event for
Demitri. Demitri seized this opportunity to further gain strength and fought
against Pyron and consumed the alien life form. He was confident that he was
strong enough to challenge and defeat the ruler of Makai, Belial.
When he returned to Makai, he found out that Belial had died and his
daughter, Morrigan, had taken heir to the Aensland family and the ruler of
Makai. As Demitri prepared himself to challenge Morrigan, he and his castle
were sucked into the Majigen by Jedah. Believing that defeating Jedah was an
important step, he went off to defeat Jedah.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Demitri likes sucking AB blood types
His true form can only be seen when uses the Midnight Bliss and Demon Billion.

Donovan Baine
Height: 194cm
Weight: 98kg
Race: Dhampir
Birthplace: Unknown
Birthdate: Unknown
Donovan was a half vampire, half human child. He and his mother were
outcasts of their village due to Donovan's cursed blood. During his childhood,
something caused his cursed blood to awaken and he killed everyone in the
village including his mother. He cursed his blood and went out looking for
peace. He devoted his life to Buddhism but even after ten years, his heart
could no find peace. During one of his travels, he met a girl named Anita.
Her heartless, empty eyes told him that she was the same as he. Wanting to
save Anita's heart, he set off with her to hunt all the darkstalkers in the
world. As he traveled with her, he found a sword that was said to give off
un-Earthly powers in the Tibetan mountains. This sword granted Donovan more
powers than ever before but he also had to use large beads to contain the
powers as well. Using the powers of the fire, lighting and ice spirits, he
hunts the darkstalkers as a darkhunter.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Donovan uses a torturing device called "Iron Maiden" to seal any darkstalker
he hunts. He gives it the name Brad Abrude. Inside is also the head to the
doll that Anita carries.
Donovan was initially planned to be in VS in his full Vampiric form. The idea
got scrapped due to the creators thinking it won't have much of an impact.

Felicia
Height: 168cm
Weight: 58kg 4.1kg when in cat form
Race: Cat woman
Birthplace: America
Birthdate: 1967
BWH: B88.W61.H87
Felicia was a cat-woman who was raised by a sister named Rose. When Rose
passed away, Felicia left her town hoping to be a musical star. During her
travels, she met many other cat-women of her kind. With her new found friends,
she set out for her dream of being on stage. Eventually, she and her friends
successfully started a musical with Felicia being the main star.
In the events of VS, she wondered about how she can make others happy. In
the end, she constructed an orphanage and became known as a "Singing and
dancing musical sister".
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
She was given the name Felicia from sister Rose from the word "Felicity"
The cat-women race
The existence of a semi-human race called cat-women was something shocking
for humans. Although a huge panic did not occur right away. The loving look
that they had soothed people's rejection to them. The look that people gave
them was a look of interest in a rare animal instead of a monster. In America,
the public voiced their opinion about how the cat-women should be recognized
and respected. Soon, they were given fundamental human rights. But the look
prejudice didn't completely disappear. The musical that starred Felicia was
looked as an exhibition. But once they had seen Felicia's dance and her lovely
voice, the fact of being human or cat-woman made no difference. Felicia's
loving personality was able to cleanse the dark parts of humans.
The cat-women race are born as normal human babies. But around the age of
4~10, they would start to grow body hair, ears, and tails. And although their
are individual difference's, they have the ability to transform. This ability
allows them to hide their limbs and tails and look like a normal human to
avoid attention. Their sense of smell is several thousand times that of a
human. They use this sense of smell to find other cat-women. They also
dis-like sunlight and usually act at night.
As the name suggests, their are no men in the cat-women race. There have
been cat-women who married human men but their child is born as an ordinary
human. At the present moment, they have no means to giving birth to any more
cat-women. Most likely, the existence of the male race(cat-men?) cannot exist
in the human world.
Felicia's friends
Pico: a child with braided hair. Comes out when LK and MK is used for
"Please Help Me"
She is 14 years old(7 years old in the human age). Born in Minnesota,
America. She used to live in an orphanage but after she saw Felicia's stage,
she left her orphanage to seek out Felicia. She found out she was a cat-woman
after she met Felicia. She is full of curiosity and fears nothing.
Alto: a child with a ribbon, she appears during Dark Force
She is 20 years old(10 years in human age). It's unknown where she was born.
She was kept as rare pet by a rich man but escaped soon after. She lived in
the mountains like a wild beast but was saved by Grace(mentioned later). She

Gallon/John Talbain
Height: 186cm
Weight: 70kg
Race: Werewolf
Birthplace: England
Birthdate: 1940
Gallon was born between a human mother and werewolf father. His mother died
shortly after giving birth to Gallon. Although Gallon was alone, he had lived
a peaceful life as a human until one full moon. That night, the beast within
Gallon awoke and Gallon turned into a wolf. This caused Gallon to be shunned
from human society. Believing that if he takes himself past his own limit, he
may be able to turn back into a human again. After the events of VH, he had
temporarily turned back into a human. Although the adults did not accept him
anymore, the children accepted him. Although he was able to sustain his human
form for many years, he could feel that a beast still lived within him. One
day, he hears a voice in his mind and turned back into a werewolf. In the end,
he realizes that he is a darkstalker and decides to live his life as a wolf.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Gallon's blood
The Kreutz family is one of the seven noble families of Makai. Though its
title is a noble, it would be more suitable to call it an army of warriors
and fighters. The current master Xell stands at a height of 5meters and is a
war dragon. He has the most unique appearance out of all the noble classes. And
those who are of his family also have appearances that are far from a human
form. But there is no vulgarity and roughness within the family. Unlike their
savage forms, they are all first class fighters who are highly trained. They
are an organized group who follow orders under strict discipline. They are very
loyal to their master. Failing to complete an order or betrayal is paid off
with death. Though their numbers are few, they possess powerful one hit attacks
and are feared as the "bullet of Makai".
Baraba Kreutz. Titled as the "Wolf Lord", is the leader of the royal
guardsmen of the Kreutz family. His eye's were the eye's of those who survived
countless life-or-death situations. Twenty years ago, he had wandered into
the human world. But he had forgotten most his memories of his time in the
human world. Though he vaguely remembers about the woman who cared for him when
he was injured in the human world.
When he came back to Makai, he played an active role as a fighter of the
Kreutz family. Demitri had even said, "He is my best rival in my life". Demitri
felt a certain kind of beauty in Baraba's fighting. A kind not found in the
lower darkstalkers. But roughly ten years after he returned to Makai, he
suddenly disappeared. Master Xell had searched for him for many years, but he
could not be found. Some say that he had returned to the human world to
reunite with the woman again. But no one knows the truth of the events.
Gallon's mother died shortly after giving birth to Gallon. And their was no
way to look for his father. When he found out he was a darkstalker, he felt no
anger towards his parents. To him, his parents were just conceptual parents.
He was alone since he could remember. He maintained his human self by cursing
his fate. His heart was not strong enough to accept everything and to move as
his heart desires. Following his inner voice, he devoted himself to fighting
to take himself past his limits. This was part of his pride as a human to
fight against his other half.
After the events with Pyron, he had lifted his curse and regained his human
form. But this was a temporary illusion that he caused. It was impossible to
cleanse his own blood. His will couldn't change the future. During the battles
in Majigen, he came face to face with his dark self within. The fate that was
pulled by his battles. To flee from his curse, he keeps taking himself past his
own limits. Though there may be irreversible consequences, he had no choice but
to keep going forward.

Birthdate: 4045BC(He died around 1890AD and was revived 100 years later)

Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Jedah's early designs
In the initial planning stages, Jedah was planned to Belial's son. Titled,
Belial Jr. He didn't look too different from what he looks now. He looked a
bit more younger and was planned to be a pretty boy. Had a cape that was made
of light.

Lei-Lei/Hsien-Ko
Height: 155cm
Weight: 43kg
Race: Kyong-shi
Birthplace: China
Birthdate: 1730
BWH: B83.W59.H86
Lei-Lei and Lin-Lin were twins born in a family of Senjutsushi's. Both of
them were raised to be senjutsushi's and were taught Senjutsu. On the
ceremonial night when they were to become a Senjutsushi, their village was
attacked by darkstalkers. The mother of the twin girls gave her life to protect
the sisters. But because of this, the mother's soul was trapped in darkness. To
release their mother's soul from the darkness, Lei-Lei uses the "Igyo Tenshin
no Jutsu" to turn into a Kyong-Shi. Lin-Lin, her older sister, turns into a
ward to make sure Lei-Lei doesn't lose control of herself. The two set of to
hunt down darkstalkers as a darkhunter of the night.
After the two had freed their mother's soul from the darkness, the two were
reincarnated with the powers of their mother. The two were reborn in a normal
family and were raised in happiness. On their 16th birthday, the two sisters
had awoke to their powers. These powers had been passed down from the very
first member of the "Shao family". This was their mother's way of repaying her
daughter's for her soul. But because the two of them awoke to their powers,
Jedah sensed this power and deemed them as worthy souls. The two dreamed again
on the night their powers awoke. It was a nightmare which was caused by Jedah's
summoning. Their souls were instantly transferred to Majigen. This place was
where the Senjutsushi's and the darkstalkers battled. It was a legendary
land and Lei-Lei and Lin-Lin's homeland. Their left over bodies had no soul
in them anymore. They lied their side by side with no sign of life.
The two of them have no memory of their previous battle. They do no why they
are in Majigen. But they both feel strongly that they must win the battle to
return to the real world. To them, it is a weird feeling, like watching a bad
nightmare.
Their form in Majigen is the form which is best suited for battle. The same
form they took when Pyron came to Earth. This is due to their mother lending
them some powers. Though the two of them have experience as darkhunters, they
are just ordinary girls now. To survive in the world where demons live, they
need their powers of Senjutsu. With help from their mother, they can use
various arts without any thought. But the moment the two sisters trust in
each other is lost, their powers would be lost instantly. After the events of
VS, the two sisters go back to the human world and go back to their normal
lives again.

Lilith
Height: 168cm
Weight: 54kg
Race: Succubus
Birthplace: Unknown
Birthdate: Makai. A sealed off dimension
BWH: B74.W59.H83
Belial foresaw that Makai would be exposed to the crisis of perishing soon.
Someone with great power/Life form would be needed to maintain the unbalanced
world of Makai. He foresaw that one which such power would not be born in the
family of Aensland for another 1,200 years. Knowing this, he decided to leave
the future of the Aensland family in Morrigan's hands. To Belial, the future of
the Aensland family was the same as the future of Makai.
Morrigan was a very special Succubus(even within all of the darkstalkers).
She was born as an S class noble. But at that time(roughly 300 years ago), a
struggle for power had already started. Various battles had occurred in various
locations. It was unacceptable for a Succubus child to be given rights to
power at the time. The problems didn't end their either. Morrigan had no way
to control the enormous powers that she held within. If she were to be left
alone, she would destroy herself and the land around her. Belial decided to
split her powers and isolate them to protect her. Morrigan's soul was split
into 2, one of half's was closed off into a space that Belial had created.
But her powers weren't simply split 50/50. Because her powers were
forcefully divided, they kept drawing each other with a powerful force. To
control this, Belial took part of her powers and sealed it within himself.
Morrigan's soul had been divided into three. One in Morrigan, one in the sealed
space, and one in Belial's body. When these become one, Morrigan can regain her
full powers. But if one doesn't recognize their own powers, if is difficult to
sense it's existence. Let alone controlling it. Morrigan herself found out
about her other half after Belial had died.
When Belial died, the sealed off power was supposed to return to it's
rightful owner. Once this was complete, the next ruler of Makai was supposed to
be born, as Belial foresaw it. But because the part which Belial contained had
been lost, Morrigan's power had not returned to 100%. And a certain accident
had occurred in the sealed space that even Belial himself did not notice.
The sealed off power had began to have it's own will. She...Lilith had began
to recognize herself roughly ten years after the sealing. It was Morrigan's
heart which slipped into Lilith's consciousness. (Morrigan herself never
noticed this.) As Lilith found about Makai, he feelings grew. These feelings
were different from normal emotions like admiration and jealousy. They were
closer to a primitive instinct to want to go back to its home.
In Makai, power is indicated by the strength of the soul. If a soul is
forcefully divided, it is not surprising that the souls try to return to its
full self. Morrigan's soul was powerful enough that it was able to produce a
it's own will.
Due to Jedah's plot, Lilith was able to attain a body. In return, Lilith
was to lure Morrigan and the other darkstalkers. Morrigan's true powers were
something that Jedah could not overlook. It's unknown if Lilith understood
Jedah's intention and the meaning of his "salvation". But Lilith enjoyed her
new found freedom. To Lilith, the Majigen was a real world that she was able to
be born in. Her enjoyment will last as long as she can fight someone who can
satisfy her curiosity, and to be able to somehow return to her true body. She
is like a child who doesn't know the true darkness yet.
After she and Morrigan met, she was finally able to return to her true self.
She and Morrigan fused back together into Morrigan.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
About Lilith's gender
Physically, she is a female. The body she received from Jedah was the image
that Lilith wanted to be. Obviously an imitation of Morrigan. But it is
obvious that she couldn't be a complete copy of Morrigan. Although it is a
guess, her childish look most likely comes from her own feelings. She feels
that she is not a perfect existence and this reflected on her appearance. Like
a child who yearns to be an adult, a girl who has yet to become a woman. But
there is no evidence if she could maintain that body. If she wishes to be
something, as long as Jedah's power is intact, she could even become a man. If
she wishes to become one with Morrigan, she could even take the form of a man
to be the dominant one. But a vast amount of power and belief is needed to do
this. And it would be very difficult without the help of Jedah.
Lilith's early designs
In the early stages of development, Lilith was quite different from her
current form. She was Morrigan's older sister at first and had the blood of
angel's mixed in her. She had angel wings on her head but this was always
folded to hide them due to her being a darkstalker. Physically, she looks like
Morrigan. She was always picked on by Morrigan as a child. But this was cut
because their were enough angel types in games.
Her next design was much closer to the current Lilith. The only difference
is she was either a male or a hermaphrodite.

Morrigan Aensland
Height: 172cm
Weight: 58kg
Race: Succubus
Birthplace: Scotland
Birthdate: 1678
BWH: B86.W56.H83
Morrigan, a succubus and the adopted daughter of Belial. When she was born,
due to her powers being that of an S class, Belial split her soul in three to
protect her. Without knowing this, Morrigan grew up. She found her life in the
Aensland castle dull. She visited the human world many times to look for some
kind of fun. One night, she was drawn to a strange power(Pyron) and ventured
into the human world again.
After she came back from the human world, she is told that Belial died and
she is the next successor to the throne of the Aensland family. Although she
is rightfully the ruler of Makai, she keeps avoiding Demitri and continues her
life like before. But when Jedah created the Majigen, she and her castle is
pulled into Jedah's dimension. Sensing Lilith, Morrigan sets off hoping to find
some sort of enjoyment. After she met Lilith, the two become one again.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
The Succubus Race
It is generally said that the succubus race absorbs the spirit of the
opposite sex and uses it as their own energy source. But the succubus's that
live in the Aensland family is slightly different. They create a special
secretion liquid in their body when they are either physically or mentally
stimulated. They use this liquid to maintain their life. If one were to be
trapped inside a small secluded area, she would die within two days due to the
lack of stimulus. This is because the liquid needed to maintain her life can't
be secreted. But to make up for this, they have become able to look into the
dreams of others. When no stimulus was given, they evolved to look for other
ways to look for excitement. When a creature dreams, a special secretion
liquid is formed in the brain. A succubus can take this liquid from the
outside. Those who have been robbed feels a strange feeling. As if ones dream
was completely taken away. This is quite different from not having any memory
of a dream. This liquid, which the succubus robbed, is dissolved into the body
of the succubus and is composed.
Their blood and saliva has a powerful lustful effect. A human would
instantly die the moment they come in contact with it. Their body odor causes
their blood vessels to dilate and causes a large amount of perspiration. If a
man is confronted by a succubus, unless they have a very strong mind, they
would instantly be under her spell.
The succubus race lives about 400 years. Roughly ten years after hey are
born, they gain their adult appearance and keep this beautiful form until they
die. Their beautiful appearance is kept intact even when they are old. Over the
past several hundred years, their ability to reproduce have been in danger. The
amount of spirit that can be taken from an individual is limited. There search
for new dreams have caused them to reach into the human world. But it is
becoming more and more difficult to reach a good amount of nutrition. When
Morrigan became the successor of the Aensland family, there were roughly only
200 succubus's left. At this rate, the succubus race would disappear after
one or two generations. But the succubus's themselves do not care about the
crisis and are enjoying their everyday lives.
The Incubus Race
The Incubus race is said to be the opposite race to the Succubus race. The
Incubus is not simply a distinction like a male and female in a race but a
completely different race. Although they are treated as a lecherous race like
the succubus, they are quite different. First off, their physical looks are
not all handsome looking guys, unlike the succubus where they are all beautiful
looking women. Many of the incubuses are inhuman and may have four feet or
may be dragon types. 60% of the incubus race are made up from these types. They
have a powerful aphrodisiac digestive fluid in their body and they pour this
into their victim. This fluid causes the victim's elements inside to change and
becomes a very efficient food type for them. This method is similar to an
insect or an animal. they prefer women because they are better food type than
men. They only eat men when they have to.

form is Pyron). When they were created, they were inputted with orders to
destroy all life on the planet. After destroying all the dinosaurs, they went
deep underground. It had gone into a long sleep and its functions had been
dead ever since. Around 520 A.D, they were found by the Mayans and were used
for many purposes. Later they were put into the Teotiwakan ruins and went into
a long sleep again. When their creator Pyron came back to Earth, one of them
awoke again and prepared to complete it's inputted order's again.
Later, due to a malfunction, Phobos carried out new orders. To protect a

Q-Bee
Height: 1250mm long
Weight: 38200g
Race: Soul Bee
Birthplace: Makai(within the lands of the Dohma family)
Birthdate: Unknown
She is the leader of the Soul Bee race. A race that east souls to live.
Q-Bee stands for Queen Bee. But this is not her name but a title name. Their
race lived in the lands of the Dohma family. But during the time when Jedah
was dead, her home began to crumble and her race was in a crisis of dying. When
Jedah was revived and created the Majigen, she notices the vast amount of souls
in the new dimension. She heads towards the Majigen to gather souls to satisfy
her Soul Bee's hunger and to satisfy her own hunger as well.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
The Soul Bee race
- In a one family of a Soul Bee race, roughly 50~150 bees live
The leader of the family is called Q-Bee. Q-Bee is a title instead of a name.
The others are either called P-Bee or just Bee.
- A Q-Bee works to raise the next leader of the family
Out of the baby bee's born, certain bee's are born with a honey capsule. An
organ that is used to concentrate and accumulate nutrition. This bee is raised
to become the next Q-Bee.
- Within P-Bee's there are male and female(the ratio is 2:8)
Their physical appearance is almost identical(The male is slightly smaller).
The male exists only to help reproduce. A male's regeneration ability is very
weak compared to a female. And because the current Soul Bee race has a very
strong self-reproduction and regeneration system, it is possible to give birth
to new Soul Bee's without the help of a male. In the near future, the male
Soul Bee's will most likely disappear.
- Her true eye's are the large discs on her head
What seems to be her eye's on her face is an imitation. It is used to deceive
other creatures
- Her sense of touch can catch the smell of food
It's range is said to reach several hundred kilometers
- Their intelligence level is equal to a human baby around 4~5 years old
They can have simple conversations as well
- Their appetite is the most important aspect of their behavior
To them, everything that moves besides themselves is food that is meant to be
caught. Their digestive ability is incredible and their stomach is rarely upset
from eating a bad food. Because their metabolism is incredibly high, they will
die if they don't eat something. Not eating for 36 hours will kill them for
sure.
- The attack names of the Q-Bee were taken from "Makai Evil Insect book".
Written by Varvle Mattlayer. The names were re-written in the nearest sounds
to the human language.

Sasquatch
Height: 166cm
Weight: 180kg
Race: Bigfoot
Birthplace: Canada
Birthdate: 1903
A Bigfoot race that lives deep in the Rocky mountains of Canada. Sasquatch
is the most noble of his tribe. When he sensed the powers of a monster(Pyron),
he set out to find out what it was. After returning to his village, he finds
members of his village have disappeared. In the center of his village lied a
huge hole. Determined that his fellow villagers have been pulled into trouble,
Sasquatch jumps into the hole to help them. In the end, he finds out that his
fellow Bigfoot's went willingly because Jedah offered them lots of banana's.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
The village of Bigfoot
The village lies in a basin within the Rocky mountains of Canada. It is
surrounded by steep mountains. Below their village is a huge frozen lake which
is covered with thick ice. This is where they catch their primary source of
food, fish. About 100 Bigfoot's live in this village. To them, it is more like
a big family than a tribe.
The temperature is constantly at -30 degrees celcius. Near the entrance to
their village is a village called Crevasse. A snowstorm blows at a rate of 20m
per second. It is very hard for a human to enter this village. Even if they
somehow do, if they make the Bigfoot's mad in ay way, their chances of making
it out alive is slim.
The communication network
They have their own distinct network using Makai Seals called
"Makai Postal". This is the Bigfoot's information source and it proves a
cultural and modern standard of living. Even when Sasquatch left his village,
they used Stone Mail to contact each other. It's delivery service spans all
over the world. It can send mails to the South Pole or North Pole within 4
days. This is due to the Makai beast, the Mach-Crab race.
The Interchange between the Bigfoot race and human race
The Bigfoot race is not a violent race. Infact, they are friendly towards
other races. But this is only if manners are shown. As long as you don't treat
them as wild beasts or show beasts, and show signs of friendship, they will
show signs of friendship. To them, human sincerity means bananas or other
delicious foods. To keep a good relation, food is an essential item.
The Interchange between other Makai creatures
The penguins that appear during Dark Force are known as Snowslide Penguins.
They live together in the same village as the Bigfoot's. They are helping
Sasquatch when they hear about the disappearance of their village members.
Their desperate attacks tend to draw tears. :P
The Snowman belong to a Makai race called the Snowman race. They have the
ability to make it snow or to cause the temperature to fall. To aid Sasquatch,
they follow him into Majigen.
The Snow Beast race(the sled dogs that appear during Big Sledge) are a very
shy race. They are very friendly towards the Bigfoot race but rarely show
themselves. But when it is urgent, they quickly appear and pull Sasquatch
very powerfully.
The Small Makai Whale is a long time friend of Sasquatch. It's huge blow
from it's tail is always powerful. There have been interchange since the
tribe leader Tundra was young.

Victor Von Gerdenheim
Height: 249cm
Weight: 230kg
Race: Frankenstein
Birthplace: Germany
Birthdate: 1830
Victor was a creation created by a mad scientist by the same name. But the
Professor Victor Von Gerdenheim died shortly after giving life to Victor.
Believing that if he proves that he is the strongest in the world, the prof.
would accept him, Victor leaves the castle. After Victor had fought many
darkstalkers, he came back to the castle hoping the Prof. would accept him.
Though the dead Prof. did not wake up, the prototype Emily welcomed Victor
back. The two lived happily for many years until one night, Emily's functions
came to a stop. Victor believes that if he collects many souls, he can revive
Emily. So he heads out to the Majigen to collect souls. In his ending, he uses
all his powers to revive Emily and dies.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Professor Victor Von Gerdemheim
Every one of his research had some kind of humane or ethical problems. He
was also marked as a dangerous man to the council that manages medical academic
research(This council was actually the mafia). His research on "Revival of dead
cells" was a completely new idea in the field but was nothing more than a
nuisance to those who lost their rights due to it. Although he was known as a
weird professor, people started spreading false rumors about. Rumors that he
was inhumane, publicity chaser and even a drug addict. Because of these
rumors, the eye's from the public and the council were filled with suspicion
and contempt. Due to the power of the council, his chances to speak in public
were taken away as well. Soon, he was forgotten by society.
He did not continue his research for fame. It was almost better that the
public ignored him for his research. He moved his laboratory to an old hospital
in a country town and spent his days in the underground laboratory. The
creation of life was his ultimate goal. This was ultimate goal that grabbed his
heart. According to his research, if he obtained the right materials and enough
electric power, he believed that he would be able to prove his research. He
used any measure to obtain the materials he needed. He obtained various
chemicals and medicines in preparation for the creation of life. Ever since he
moved into the laboratory, no saw him for 20 years. His mind had not been sane
already. His will alone made him move and called miracles.
When was Emily created?
Before the Prof. went into his real experiment, he did many tests on human
bodies. Emily was made as a prototype that couldn't generate electricity by
itself and could only be activated once. He failed many times over and over
until he finally succeeded in animating Emily. But she was only a doll that
moved by flowing electricity into her constantly. Her limbs could move
temporarily and would only last for about 30 seconds. But this was still one
step closer to his goal of creating new life. He began to design Victor who
could generate electricity by itself and increased the size of the body to do
this. It is still unknown why Emily can move like Victor after the experiment.
Most likely, when Victor was created, a part of the large amount of electricity
used to animate Victor flowed into Emily as well. She was able to store a vast
amount of electricity in her due to an accident.
How to create an artificial body
Victor is the ultimate masterpiece that Prof. Gerdenheim left. These are the
records left by the doctor to create Victor.
1. Collecting human bodies for materials
The bodies are to be fresh as possible. To store vast amounts of
electricity, the body is enlarged by combining human parts.
2. Sewing up the bone, muscles and nerves
3. Transplanting a electrostatic organic material into the nerve and muscles.
To re-animate the dead cells, this step cannot be missed. The manufacturing
process of this material and its raw material is top secret.
4. To soak the material in a special revival liquid and to wait for 200 hours
at a temperature of -18 degrees or less.
This process causes the material to not rot.
5. To connect an electrode and a pacemaker with the involuntary muscle of the
heart. This is to make the heart infinitely move.
6. Circulating charged liquid(blood). This liquid was created by the doctor
just live the revival liquid. It takes several years to create enough liquid
for one human body.
7. To stimulate it with a high voltage current
This is the problem that the Prof. ran into in the end. In one mili-second,
100 thousand KW must be sent into 20mm or more of a surface. Because he
couldn't use a large scale facility, he had to rely on lighting for his source.
Professor Gerdenheim left some pieces of writing before he died
At present, it is very hard to obtain these books.
- Researching the reactivation of electromagnetic waves and cells
- The new boundaries between life and death
- Arkane's theorem (About the research that Prof. Gerdenheim put forward about
spiritual energy)
- Under special conditions, the principle's of the brain wave phenomenon that
appears
- The future of studying revival
- The uncut reports of Lugendreih 1, 2(Articles of Prof. Lugendreih who is the
head authority on organic cell research)
For most of his latter days of his life, he spent his time experimenting on
Victor. It was very difficult to read his research material when he was insane.
And many mysterious signs were used in his writings. The legacy of the Prof.
who researched the creation life lies in the darkness.

Race: Zombie
Birthplace: Australia
Birthdate: 1889
He was young and charismatic young rocker who killed himself and 100 other
fans in his final live. Because of his thirst for power, he was noticed by
Emperor Ozom. He resurrected him as a Zombie and told him that if he wishes to
be stronger, he would have to kill the darkstalkers. Although Zabel agreed, his
true plans were to kill Ozom himself and to take over the spot of being the
Emperor. But when Ozom and Ozom's castle disappeared, Zabel was puzzled. When
he arrived at the location where Ozom's castle stood, he found the entrance to
the Majigen. This time, he intends to kill the creator of Majigen and take
over his spot.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Zabel's rock star life
Zabel Zarock had the charisma like that of a Young Ozzy, was an expert
guitarist, a mass murderer and was known as the "god of metal". No one knows
when he started his music. The only thing clear is that he was unknown before
he released his first album, "Oral Dead".
Although his first album, which was an indie's album, had not sold in
numbers, he had received a good amount of support from a group. Eventually, he
became the next sensation in the metal scene. He instantly became famous in all
over Australia. His second album sold 200,00 copies in a month, and reached
one million in three months. But the age group that bought his were small. Most
of those who bought his CD's were in their teens. They were more like cult
followers than a fan of an artist.
His fearful death is talked about to this day. On his final live, 100 of his
fans were sucked dry of their blood. Every victim died with the look of
happiness. Zabel himself turned into a skeleton instantly and died. To this
day, the truth behind this incident is unknown.
The book
Days after Zabel's death, a strange leather covered book was found in his
house and people hoped that this book would uncover some truth to his death.
The book was called, "A chapter of Tolagido" and was written in ancient Hebrew.
In this book, it explained the existence of another world called "Makai". The
words in this book resembled the lyrics to his hit songs. And in a topic titled
"A curse to give sacrifices to the king of Makai", the horrifying truth was
hidden. Zabel's last song at his last live was called, "Sacrifice". This song
was played for the first time and was Zabel's final song of his life. The
lyrics in this song was identical to the lyrics found in the curse.
With further research, they found out that the preparation for the curse
took a long time. Since the first album was released, Zabel had already started
to brainwash his victims. His aim was to start the curse with his music and to
get his sacrifices. But there is no way to prove this at present.
The songs he created are still sold on the market. And according to those
who went to his live, Zabel's enigmatic voice were lost on the CD's. In the
end, there is no rational explanation for the incident. The only thing that is
certain is that a simple musician could not do such a thing. Unless he used the
powers of the devil......

VIII. History of Makai
The Birth of Makai.
It is written in the "Makai Souseiki/Genesis of Makai" that Makai is the
body of god itself. The "first lifeform" appeared through emptiness and it is
the one who created Makai. It is written that all creatures and lifeforms of
Makai are it's descendants.
It is also written that the reign of the nobles began 2,000,000 years ago.
The ancestor of the Aensland family, The demon king Zeruru Aensland, is
written to be the first emperor in these writings. All writings previous to
this have been lost and no spells exist to seek the truth. There is a very
high possibility that someone may have re-written history, but the truth is
hidden within darkness.
Makai
The main land within Makai is called "Matairiku/The demon land". The earth
is the color of blood, a never ending pitch black deep fault, forests move
with eerie movements, cave's that are filled with poisonous miasma, poisonous
marshes that would melt even the bones, and residents of darkness.
The area is several hundred times the area of all the continents of Earth.
Including the sea which surrounds the land, it is impossible to determine the
exact size of Makai. Not even the Emperor of Makai cannot know every corner of
Makai.
And beyond the oceans that surround the land is a highly compressed
atmospheric wall making it impossible to set foot beyond the limits. According
to ancient writings, a crack in a dimension exists there which leads to
another world. But no one has been able to prove this. In the center of
Matairiku lies the Devil Mountains, which are 8,000km above the sea level. And
within these mountains lies a waterfall called "Heaven to Hell" which reaches
the depths of 3,000km. It would drag anyone who approaches it into it's depth
of darkness.
The sea which lies to the east of Matairiku is called, "Daimakai/Great Sea
of Evil". And the sea which lies to the west of Matairiku is called,
"Daimasou/Great Ocean of Evil". The Daimakai is filled with flames at a
temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius. The Daimasou is filled with ice at
absolute zero. At the point where these sea meet lies a crack that is 200km
wide. It is filled with constant storms and lightning.
Several hundred trillion Makai creatures live in this world and each of
them build up their own society and territories. A human would not even last
a day in the harsh world of Makai.
The Gate
The Gate, a distortion in space which connects the human world and Makai.
This gate lies far above the volcano, Gilala Gila at the center of Makai. A
black void, which twists any and every light and gravity. This black void
opens and closes periodically in a two weeks cycle. When this void opens at
its widest, the human world and Makai are physically connected and bound for
only a few seconds. A tunnel, which connects the two worlds, is created.
This gate was first discovered roughly 2,000 years ago. The unusual change
came without any warning. The fire blizzard, that Gilala Gila shoots out, had
suddenly stopped. This flame had existed since the creation of Makai and
burned anyone who came near the volcano. The current master of the Lepe
clan(the Lord of the area around Gilala Gila), sent a servant to investigate
the cause. When he heard that there had been some sort of trouble at the top
of the volcano, he went there himself to investigate. Shortly after, he was
swallowed by the stream. The news that the master of noble family had been
swallowed by the gate spread across Makai quickly.
It created a new fear within Makai. Anyone who dared to go near the gate
would be thrown into the an unknown dimension. The gate was feared as a
bringer of death, and was also feared as death itself. It was decided by the
political powers in Makai that the gate would be sealed. But the truth was, the
nobles wanted to keep the gate and it's uses in secret. After the gate had
been sealed, the gate had stayed quite and had been forgotten.
But the Makai nobles had kept researching the gate. They eventually found
out that the gate was a contact point between Makai and another dimension
called the human world. It was also confirmed that in the human world lied
Maryoku, the source of life. And this Maryoku existed as evil souls within
the human world.
They found out that the power that existed in the human world rivaled that
of the three high nobles of Makai. Many observed each others movements
towards the gate, which eventually led Makai into the age of a cold war. The
tension that was caused by the cold war exploded when Galnan, one of the high
nobles, died.
**********************************
IX. Nobles of Makai
The Three High Noble's who ruled Makai
Belial, the master of the Aensland family - The strongest man in Makai
Known as the demon king/devil, he is the true ruler of Makai. He stood
higher than 200m, had four arms and four eye's(two eye's are on the palm of
his hands). He is the guardian and parent of Morrigan of the succubus race.
Compared to others, he is treated special due to the fact that he has the
strongest raw power within him. His power is comparable to several hundred
thousand Makai beasts or is equal to several hundred A class Makai nobles
like Demitri. his physical power is, in theory, the strongest.
His body is constantly covered with a thin barrier. This barrier can stand
up to one million degrees Celsius. A normal Makai being would perish the
moment they come into contact with it. He seals two out of his four arms to
contain his power. In the past, he has unsealed all four of his arms. It was
said that he killed 200 Makai nobles with a swing of his arm. He use's an
attack called the "Scalephoton" which emits a highly compressed arrow of
magic at a high speed at it's victims. This attack would even kill Galnan
and Jedah if it were to hit them. He had used a low powered warning shot
against Demitri 100 years ago.
Even though he had incredible power, he never showed any interest in ruling
Makai. This didn't mean that he had no greed or ambition. To him, Makai was
part of his body and his body itself. The thought of trying to rule his own
hands and feet never came out. Even though no one doubted Belial's rule, the
struggle for power within Makai had never ended.
When Belial had won victory over Demitri by ripping Demitri's castle and
the gate into human world. But damaging space itself had also damaged Belial's
body. His powers had slowly started to diminish. But everyone, who had enough
power to take advantage of this situation, like Jedah and Galnan had already
died. There existed no one in Makai who could threaten his rule.(Ozom had
proclaimed himself as the emperor of Makai but his powers were far below
Belial's).
When Belial's powers are completely diminished, the very balance of Makai
would fall apart.
Galnan, the master of the Voshtal family - The brain of Makai
The Spirit Lord
He is the oldest of the three high nobles.(He died at the age of 32,000).
He has the best information network in Makai by using demon beasts. He had
been the master of the Voshtal family for more than 20,000 years.
At one point, he also had as much power as Belial. His personality is the
opposite of Belial's and is cruel and offensive. He had a special ability
which allowed him to summon demon beasts from a world called "Inkai". This
Inkai lied even further below the world of Makai. The demon beasts had very
low intellect, and controlling them would require a great amount of power.
Galnan, on the other hand, could directly control the nervous system of
these creatures and could control them with little power. Compared to the
other two high nobles, he was quite a bit older. His dominant position
slowly started to diminish along with his powers. His raw powers itself
were no match for the other two.
But his special summoning abilities was useful for his information network.
This led to his image change from a "Tyrant" to the "Brain of Makai". While
he had been the master of his family for 20,000 years, he had gathered vast
amounts of information into his castle. Every action that political powers
took would be seen by Galnan. This had caused the political powers to be
careful with their movements. Galnan had also known about the gate which
held off any movements towards it by any nobles. Even Jedah and Belial.
Galnan, although unexpected, had become the "Guard of Makai".
After the death of Galnan, the powers of the Voshtal family diminished and
the role of the Guard has also disappeared. This was the reason why the people
of Makai started to struggle for power after his death.
Jedah, the master of the Dohma family - The Distressed Lord of Death
The youngest out of the three High nobles.....though he is still over 6000
years old. His liquid body allows him to change into any shape he chooses. He
is able to absorb the souls of others and can instantly increase his own
powers.
He was always distressed about the future of Makai. He believes that if
Makai left to rule by Belial, it would grow old and begin to decay. Belial
would most likely say that that is the destiny and life. To Jedah, Belial was
being who should not exist. He had always looked for the opportunity to kill
Belial, and waited for the right time to strike.
After the death of Galnan, Jedah had a young confidant named Ozom. Simply
put, he was a gourmet. The reason he came under Jedah was to be able to eat
delicious souls. As a noble, his skills were second class, but his ability to
deceive others were first class. He was a genius in using others. He advised
Jedah about using the gate of Makai. Jedah, being confident in his ability to
absorb souls, agreed to this. He ordered Ozom to break a part of the seal to
open the gate more. When Ozom arrived at the gates, he realized that enormous
powers lied within the gates.
"Even Jedah would destroy himself if absorbs all this power at once."
He see's this as his chance to take over the throne and tells Jedah a lie.
"Due to the little power that came out, I must destroy all the seals....."
After destroying the seals, he ran off to the far reaches of Makai.
He believed that the destruction of Jedah means his rise in power. He also
planned to absorb the left over powers from the incident. This plot had
succeeded. Though Jedah's absorbing powers were greater than Ozom predicted, he
was destroyed due to the sheer amount of powers. Ozom gathered the left over
powers and stored it in the Dohma castle. This is how Ozom became the new
master of the Dohma family. The birth of Emperor Ozom.
100 years later....Jedah was revived in Makai. He felt distressed towards
the crazed Makai, nobles fighting each other and spilling blood. Instead of
anger, he felt pity towards Ozom, who had betrayed him. Jedah had already made
up his mind. His complete revival and the cleansing of all souls. For this, a
new stage was necessary. A new dimension, the Majigen.
Jedah arrived at Dohma castle and saw Ozom and laid out his hand. Although
he his powers were not yet completely restored, he had enough powers to remove
Ozom. Ozom had become a spineless gourmet. Ozom's eye's had fear in them. Jedah
quietly whispers,
"Ozom....I am sorry, but please lend me your powers. Your soul would become the
foundation of Majigen and will help the future of Makai."
The Dohma castle was taken into the dark space along with Ozom. This was the
beginning of his salvation.
