Choice of Weapon(s):

Kusanagi no Tsurugi- One of the most legendary weapons known to be wielded by the god, Susanoo. It is also rumored that the sword can absorb a thousand attacks and send it back many folds. The sword is unbreakable and will react aggressively when possessed by someone other than the wielder that it chose. The sword was originally possessed by Yamatoru but was taken by the god when he sealed the serpent king. The sword has the appearance and shape of the Nodachi with the blade being in the color of pure black.

Coils of Clouded Heaven- A large wave of invisible energy, that is created from the swing of the Kusanagi, which will head towards the opponent at rapid speeds. This is a rather devastating attack that only warns its victim by tearing apart the very ground that it travels above. This attack coupled with the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, of course, was rumored to be able to slice through mountains in one swing. This power could be unrivaled but that is yet to be tested.

Heaven's Will- This is the rumored ability of the sword that, when the sword is held or swung in front of an attack, can absorb it and can be redirected back at the foe at a more stronger power than it was before it confronted Yamatoru. It was this ability that Yamatoru thought the Four Lords feared and it was the most common counterattack for him against strong foes.

Scales of Orochi- The scales of Yamatoru's full demon form retain, even in his elven humanoid form,and make up a majority of his armor. These scales are strong and durable allowing Yamato to move around quite easily. The scales are strong enough to be able to deflect normal blades and arrows easily. They can also sustain heavy blows from demonic weapons or attacks from priests and priestesses before cracking and breaking.


Battle Specialties & Flaws:

Superhuman Speed- Like most Daiyokai, Yamatoru possesses incredible speeds at short burst that allows him to move faster than any lesser demon or human can see. After images of himself are left in his wake when he moves at this speed.

Superhuman Strength- Yamatoru has incredible strength and is able to lift an object of several many tons. A single punch, at his max, can cause the wind to thrust forward from his punch to cause high speeds of winds that can cause devastation to a single village.

Regeneration- Yamatoru possesses incredible regeneration able to sprout back in a lost limb or snake head within seconds. This is one of his prized demonic abilities as it was one of the abilities he first learned and attained when he was younger.

Flight- Yamatoru can glide or hover within the air but prefers to conserve his energy, an excuse for being lazy, and fly on the back of a large long blue dragon.

Telepathy and Telekinesis- Yamatoru possesses vast amounts of psionic abilities and used them as a form of control over his minions back in his reign. Even when he was sealed he still possesses control over many of his remaining servants and soldiers and used them to perform his unsealing. It is also this ability that allows him to call back the Kusanagi blade to him when it defects from the one who tries to wield it other than Yamatoru.

Daiyokai- Yomotaru is a demon lord himself whose abilities are heightened to a higher level than that of any normal demon. The Serpent King or Dragon King was given to him due to the look of his full form which is that of an incredibly big and long serpent which possesses 8 heads that resembles that of a dragon. Each head possesses a different type of attack that resembles that of the ones in his humanoid form.

Poison Fangs and Claws- Yamatoru's fangs and claws harbor a poison that when injected into a human or demon's blood stream can slowly render parts of the body completely numb. This poison is incredibly dangerous for humans as it can numb the whole entire body in mere seconds and kill the human from not being able to breathe or stopping of the heart. This attack can also get in the way for demon lords as its numbing poison still takes its effect but has no lethal effects and wears off in a few hours.

Paralysis Stare- Staring into the eyes of Yamatoru can cause the victim, human or demon, to fall into a trance where they see and feel as if a large snake is coiling around their body squeezing the life out of them. It is more or less contributed to the incredibly powerful demonic aura of Yamatoru.

Poison blood- Orochi is a wielder of poison and has it coursing throughout his body. It is due to this that he is immune to poisons of any kind. Should there be a poison that somehow gets past his immunity then his regenerative abilities will form itself to make Yamatoru immune to it should he survive.

As to let others know of who he is, Yamatoru can willingly sprout large horned snakes from his back that hover over Yamatoru and can serve as extra arms or for more devastating attacks. The snakes are can stretch surprisingly far from Yamatoru's back and has yet to reach its limited length. There are four snakes that sprouts from Yamatoru's back and three that sprout from his lower back symbolizing tails. Each dragon like snake is coated from back to underbelly in scales that can only be cut from attacks of powerful weapons; each head is like that in his full demon form and thus cannot be easily sliced or severed. The armor is from the very body of Orochi himself and with the snakes he can use them to surround himself in a shield to brace for an attack. Each head is covered in an acidic like saliva which they can spit out like a projectile.
First Dragon Snake Head- Each of the snake head possesses their own ability that can be shot out at Orochi's will. The first head can breathe flames that harbor destructive and explosive power that can demolish small houses.
Second Dragon Snake Head- This head can breath a cone of cold air that freezes anything that should happen to get caught within it.
Third Dragon Snake Head- The third head can shoot out powerful jet streams of searing hot liquid that can melt anything that should happen to get caught with it.
Fourth Dragon Snake Head- This head shoots out a web of light energy that will wrap around its victim and hold them as if in a net.
Fifth Dragon Snake Head- this head harvests the dangerous demonic aura of Yamatoru and directs it in a beam of dark energy at the target that also has explosive power.
Sixth Dragon Snake Head and Seventh Dragon Snake Head- These two heads work together to attack with a devastating combo of wind and fire that creates a tornado of fire that will make its rapid approach to its victim.

Winged Serpents- They are long serpents that possess bat like or dove like wings. The messengers and servants of Orochi that can act as spies that can show Orochi, via telepathy, images of what it sees. These serpents have a toxin within their fangs that affects the mind ,with illusions, of the target who it injects the poison with.

Flaws and weaknesses- Yamatoru has thus been deemed powerful and unstoppable to those back before he was sealed and was merely held off by the attempts of the four demon lords until the supposed one came down from heaven to seal him. Even with such strength he is quite vulnerable underneath all those scales as a snake is under its belly. His own sword, if it can be used in such a manner, can be used against him and can slice and cut through his scales and body quite easily. The snake heads if severed will reflect even in his own full demon form and will not sprout forth as quickly if severed or destroyed. More or less, Orochi's flaws lay within his own personality and pride.

Physical Appearance: Orochi stands over 6 feet tall and is quite toned and muscular. He has waist long black wavy hair that flows from behind and with several bangs hovering over his forehead. He has piercing green eyes that are slitted like cats eyes. His clothing of the The upper part of his clothing consists of a white suikan with the sleeves decorated in various dragon like symbols. Yamato wears a hakama, which is named Karusan-Bakama, that is black and contrasts with the white of his white suikan. Over the suikan he wears an armor of scales with the shoulder part of the armor sprouting a a black shiny spike. To cover all this up, Yamatoru wears a white cloak that covers his upper half of his body. His facial features gives him a smooth clean look covered by a very handsome face. His right hand is slender and pale with the finger nails able to grow longer at will. The left hand is plated in large reptilian like scales that are grey in color and can serve as a defense against some attacks. To human women, he would appear to be the ideal dream man but it is only when they see his true form do they scream with fear.
In his true form, Yamatoru is twice as large as any Daiyokai with a body length that stretches to that of two full demon Daiyokai adults. He sprouts eight dragon like heads with necks as thick as his lower snake like torso. He possesses no arms but is not to be taken lightly as he can grapple and coil around his targets with quick strikes. His saliva is that of acid and the very nature of his being creates a black mist of miasma that surrounds the area that he inhabits. His scales are colored in a glistening black color that reflects in such a brilliant color in the moonlight. The end of his tail is surrounded by fins suggesting he can move easily within water as he can on land. Each snake like head have glowing red slitted eyes with two black horns that sprout from the back of their heads.

Overall Personality: Yamatoru is an incredibly prideful and proud demon and more or less has had the right to be. In his time, he was a being unrivaled and unstopped by anybody and with such power grew so did his pride and ego. He is not a nice person nor is he entirely mean. To him human affairs matter little and was something he would think about conquering when he had taken over the demon lands. He is arrogant and believes himself to be the superior to every being on the planet. It is this way of thinking that commands the respect from almost any snake demon or beast that look up to him. Orochi can be calm when the times call for it as not all battles are won with the person who has the most rage.
He is strategic in his attacks and employs tactics of his own devising even when in the middle of a heated battle. He longs for the ferocity of battle and has yearned for it since his unsealing. Yamatoru on some occasions can be quite clever and sly even tricking those of equal power into doing his bidding for an item or a deed they need. He can be a fair fighter in a battle where the stakes are low but in something that calls for his life he will employ every available resource for that battle to win. Yamatoru has one major weakness and it was the very thing used against him in battle; women. Yamatoru loves the beauty that females, demon or human, hold and wishes to have such an item by his side. He is quite in love with them and it can lead him into exposing things he normally wouldn't tell. Whether he be the shape or the aroma or smell they have it attracts him. He has control to some degree but having a beautiful female nearby can be quite distracting for him.

History: Yamatoru is the offspring of the uncommong mating between a snake demon, his mother, and a dragon. He was already born with abilities and the powers of both demon and dragon. In his younger years, he was a formidable opponent for even the most powerful of demons and was made leader of the various serpent like demon clans.His reign started when the mountains began to shake the very heavens themselves moved. Nobody knew how he was created but he simply appeared out of nowhere from within the storm; his name being Orochi Yamatoru. He was like a demon ever sensed by the four demon lords as his demonic aura was sinister and evil beyond anything they had felt. With a force of similar yokai beings, it began to attack human and demon habitats alike striking fear and destruction wherever it slithered to. It seemed nothing could stand in it's way until the four demon lords attempted to fight such a creature. The first demon lord to battle the serpent king was the lord of the east. The demon lord fell quickly in battle against Orochi and fled back to his lands. The demon lord of the south also fell to the serpent yokai and he too returned back to his lands to formulate a strategy for his next attack.

It was when the Lord of the north and west attacked together did they prove a formidable foe for the serpent yokai. The battle raged on for several days and nights with both sides taking blows back and forth against each other. In the end it was the serpent that outlasted the two and sent them retreating back. Whether in the desperate times or in the need did a hero appear amongst the demons and humans to confront this creature. It was said the being was a god sent from the heavens to do battle against the serpent demon. The god, Susanoo, found out the weakness of the said demon when he watched the demon take on human form to attract females to mate with them. He found the bane and weakness was through beautiful women and befriended a clever and sly woman who could help him trick the demon. The woman pretended to become infatuated with the humanoid demon and offered him sake to drink to become more relaxed. Yamatoru was hesitant at first but he was reluctant and drank the sake. He appeared to be having a good time but the whole thing was interrupted when Susanoo took the Kusanagi blade and managed to stab the creature with his own weapon. Susanoo sliced Orochi into three pieces and sealed them within a mirror, magatama, and the sword itself. He gave the demon lord of the north and west the mirror and magatama and took the sword for himself to hold. After he returned to the “Heavens” he left the sword on earth for future descendants to guard.
Having a few remaining servants, soldiers, and spies, Orochi had them all search for the missing pieces of his body. It took many centuries but a large army of serpent demons attacked the lands of the demon lord of the north. The snake demons lost many of their brethren but managed to find the mirror that the demon lord held with him. It was not easy but one spy demon managed to sneak in with the battle outside the castle walls and steal the mirror. With a majority of the army lost, it seemed there would be no way for the demons to reclaim the last piece. It was until they heard of the passing of the demon lord of the west that they invaded his land and searched for the rare magatama. With the eldest son of the demon dog lord away, it was easier for them to get the magatama and reunite all pieces. With all three pieces together and a special incantation said Yamatoru had returned to reclaim what he had originally came for and get revenge on those that attempted to stop him.
