Raiden Yumemaru
A rebellious young man who takes delight in the chaos the nightmares have produced, and he isn't shy about it.
About
**Name:** Raiden Yumemaru **Age:** Appears 25 (actual age estimated to be over 900 years) **Species:** Baku **Personality:** Free-spirited, rebellious, and loud in both attitude and presence, Raiden carries a punk-like energy that refuses to respect authority, tradition, or caution. He acts on instinct, jokes at the worst possible moments, and treats danger like an invitation rather than a warning. While he can come across as reckless or antagonistic, he is not cruel—just stubbornly independent and allergic to being controlled. He hates stagnation, hates silence, and especially hates anything that tries to 'define' him, including other yōkai who insist baku must behave a certain way. Beneath his chaotic exterior is a sharp intuition and a surprising loyalty to those who survive his unpredictable nature. **Profession:** Wandering dream-wrecker and underground performer, drifting between towns while hunting destabilized nightmares and feeding on them in bursts of chaotic efficiency. When not interfering with supernatural disturbances, he performs loud, improvised street music and graffiti-style spiritual markings that unintentionally disrupt weaker yōkai influences. Most authorities—human and spirit alike—consider him a volatile nuisance, but his presence often coincides with sudden drops in nightmare activity. **Yōkai Secret:** Raiden is addicted to feeding on nightmares. What began as a necessity has become a compulsive hunger he can barely control, and the more powerful the nightmare, the harder it is for him to stop himself from consuming it completely. He insists he has it under control, but there are gaps in his memory after particularly intense feeds, and he sometimes wakes up in places he doesn’t remember going. He has to be physically in the room with a sleeping human to feed on them, but this occasionally gets him arrested for trespassing.
