This is a list of Character Profiles for the characters written about/played in Fushigi Soudan. Each profile will have a picture before it, if provided, that can be a link to a larger image if the picture doesn't fit 120x120 or close to that. A short, descriptive paragraph about the character appears after the picture, and explains who the character is with only as much information as the character's writer wishes to divulge. To update or create your profile as a member of the list, mail me, Ritz, or Tomite no Miko.

If no information is provided, then just the character's name will be listed, so that people can keep up with how many characters there are on the list. If you write up a character that owns a stall in the marketplace that sells dumplings, you don't need to apply for the character or write up a profile for him/her. This is only for main characters which you predominately write about. If you wish to have a dumpling vendor as a main character, though, feel free! Be what you want within the confines of FY. And remember. You can have real world/Tokyo/modern world characters too, but if they don't tie directly into the book ShiJinTenChiSho (Book of the Four Gods Sky and Earth) somehow like Tetsuya and Keisuke did, you may find it rather boring, and I'd prefer if you kept involved with the book and story.

Taiitsu-kun is the maintainer of the world that FY is situated in. Though she is not actually a god, she might as well be one for her powers. She rarely intervenes in the affairs of those in FY, but occasionally has been known to involve herself, especially if she becomes interested in or favors a particular person. She usually doesn't appear, and if so, only at her own discretion. She cannot be summoned. She lives in a mountainous region known as Mount Taikyoku. Only the pure of heart who travel there can see the beauty of it and the palace where she lives. Anyone else would just see cold, dark, jagged mountains.

Akusui is an "advisor" to the Rirnan army. He is a cruel, manipulative, and power hungry person. His abilities include being able to steal ki from others - and their abilities along with the ki. His goal is to find the 12 Statue pieces that are scattered throughout the four lands. He is the main villain of FS, and the person who runs things behind the scenes. He constantly hides himself under a cloak, so no one really knows what his true nature or motives are. He is extremely intelligent, versatile, and clever. In addition to that, he will stop at nothing to achieve his hidden agenda. Akusui is not a force to be trifled with lightly.

Washi of the Eagle Eyes is one of the Shitennou, a minion of Akusui. His powers bring out the evil inside of a person, and he uses that to his advantage. Also, he is called "Eagle Eyes" for a reason. He has the gift of farsight, and can see nearly everything. He is arrogant, and loves wealth more than he loves life. He is the classic example of a sadist, and he particularly enjoys whips. Washi has no compunctions, and no morals. He is absolutely loyal to his master, Akusui, because Washi knows that Akusui cannot be beaten. Washi also sees Akusui as a vehicle to providing pain to the entire world. Washi enjoys his job.

He's a wandering mage and can manipulate his chi and maybe others. He comes from a family of three: mom and younger brother. He's warmhearted sounds slightly flakey, but he can get serious when he has to. He uses the staff to throw chi sometimes and he can use it in normal fights.

Ryen Kouji is your typical 15 year old boy. Except for one thing. He is rather obviously gay. He stays with the Seiryuu shichiseishi because he is attracted to Yumeboshi and Tomo, but he still something of a coward. He'll purposely put himself into danger so that they could save him. He is intensely jealous of Uruki, Ashita, and Inami, but does his best to hide it. Predictably, he fails. When he is left behind, he doesn't give up. He'll keep following Tomo and Yumeboshi until one of them admits that Kouji is the boy for him!

Chaka, is a descendant of a race of owls called the Grendowls. He has an excellent command of magic but sadly, isn't all that bright. ^.^;;; Chaka has the attention span of a 5 yr old (on good days) and is very fussy about his appearance. He's also very eager to please the ones he does like, by trying to get information they might want, or other helpful things. He has the capability of learning more complex magic but he doesn't have any teachers. He is very much like a child. Oh, and he's always hungry.

Akoma's always making jokes. The class clown, who makes a fool of himself so others can laugh and feel better. He tries everything to avoid a fight, even walking (running if needs be) away if he has to. But he is a Martial Artist and can fight. He always sees the good in people and the bright side of things. To the point that he gets annoying sometimes. But he's easy going, and loves everybody.

Hayama tends to hide his emotions with humor. He was taken in by the gypsies at age eight. He can do just about anything he sets his mind to, and is an excellent fighter and acrobat. He also has other abilities he'd rather not talk about.

Linsu, the Emperor of Konan, is a very intellectual person, enjoys scholarly pursuits better than any kind of physical activity except maybe swimming. He Feels that he lacks any kind of fierce emotion and is very calm and controlled. He dislikes the pomp and pageantry of his standing. He dispenses with it as much as possible, except at major state occasions. He enjoys his family, sisters and brothers (he hasn't married yet) and takes a personal interest in Suzame, his littlest sister.

Kio is the wife of the heir to the empire of Kutoukoku. She is a kind person. When she was a child, she studied healing, and planned to become a doctor. But, since she was the daughter of Sairokoku's emperor, it was a dream that she could not fulfill. At 14 years old, she was sold to the Emperor of Kutoukoku, to marry his son. In the 20 years that have passed since that time, she has grown to love the husband she never wanted, and he her. She is allowed a certain amount of freedom, because of that love. Kio keeps a garden hidden away in the palace, and that has become her private sanctuary. She continues to heal, and to study in her spare time.

Tenshi's mother was Sidhe (like a faire or elf) and was raped by a human (hence producing tenshi) Her mother dies in childbirth and Tenshi was raised by her sidhe realitives (who gave her her name) and was treated like a second class citzen and any humans she met during her life treated her like a freak bringing forth a HUGE self hatred thing.

Ojiisan is an old army officer who prefers living with the army(and making the new soldiers' lives miserable) to being with his family. He lost both his legs in action and uses a rickety wheel chair like thing to get around. He is in no way helpless though and enjoys using his infirmity to make the young soldiers do unpleasant things. ^^

Kamin is 25 and knows her own mind. She existed only for her King's commands, now must find the answers. SHe has the Wendigo practicality, and wants only to go back to her homeland and return to her place in society. In order to do this, she must travel to find the truth, and a way to beat Murforth, who has taken the Wendigo throne. Her determination and unwavering conviction has helped her survive these weeks away from her beloved Hills.

Banrai seems to be a pretty normal 17-year-old blue-haired Mt. Leikaku bandit. He has no family other than a young sister, Rei, who is often sick, and who is living with a kind family in a village east of Konan's capital city, Eiyou.

Valde comes from the powerful Noble House of Amadea, which has a prominent seat on the Council that rules all of Dvork. She has shoulder-length black hair, and rides an enormous, evil-looking black horse that has a mild, gentle disposition.

Willan Madrigal was sent by the Dvorkian Army to make an agreement with Konan's Emperor Linsu: protection from Rirna's troops in exchange for help with finding all the magical statue pieces in Konan. It remains to be seen whether she succeeds or not.

Bikou is half-dog and half-wolf. Her wolf background causes her to be suspicious of people and to prefer solitude. However, her dog background, and her puphood spent with a friendly boy, causes her to appreciate human company. She has currently latched onto a tribesman from northern Hokkan, named Kita Oroshi, and follows him wherever he goes.

Tatsu is a particularly ordinary character. However, he has a charm about him that he has learned and mastered as a minstrel. People are drawn to him and charmed by his wit and cunning.

Yumenno Hana is 20 something years old, has red hair and green eyes. She's generally a very friendly person, and likes to travel.

Born to parents living in destitute conditions, Hiroshi was born with problems in his right knee as well as a serious infection in both eyes. Fearing that the boy would not survive, Eisaku and Yoko Shimamoto (his parents)moved to Tokyo desparate to find jobs to support Hiroshi's medical needs. As a result of his affliction, Hiroshi attends Nihon Gakkai (Japan Academia), the same school as Nenaii Kiyuki. Hiroshi has a pretty wild imagination. He likes to pretend that he's a master swordsman from one of his comic books and drives his physical therapist nuts.
