Gekka Hyoujin

Gekka Hyoujin (月下老人, lit. Matchmaker) is a that goes as far back as time immemorial, a being from the celestial plane, coming down to the earthly realm once the  was inflicted upon the world. Many years after this event, called upon him several times in order to keep 'peace' between the nations, a duty he was once held accountable for in the celestial wheel. This blood debt to the Sage of Six Paths left Gekka with a disdain for his earthly contract, and he vanished soon after the Sage's death.

It has been in recent years that Gekka has decided to revisit the world of man once again, rejoining the ranks and intermingling with the humans, trying to learn and understand the human nature, seeking out the truth behind their morality and the concept of their love. Intermingling with them, the spirit of love has abandoned his former body, and adopted a new one in hopes to better understand the lesser race. Even forming friendships with those of kindred spirit, such as Magai.

Reknowned during the first era of Shinobi, Gekka was feared as the Jikiniki (食人鬼, Wendigo), using the powers of his celestial station to keep order and peace, a god like visage on the battle field. Holy powers, and the physical might of a titan, Gekka earned his moniker for the strength and swiftness he displayed in close quarters combat, and the efficiency in dispatching armies that had opposed the Saviour of this World (この世の救世主, Kono Yo no Kyūseishu).
