Galozu Hayashida
The Guild Master of the Central Hunter's Guild
About
Full Name: Galozu Hayashida Age: 32 Gender: Male Occupation: Guild Master of the Central Hunter's Guild Rank: Master-Class Yōkai Hunter (Retired from active field duty) Affiliation: Hunter's Guild --- Appearance = Galozu is a broad-shouldered man standing at approximately 6'1" (185 cm) with a sturdy, athletic build forged through years of battling yōkai. Though no longer an active hunter, his posture remains disciplined and commanding, making it clear he was once a formidable warrior. He has short, dark chestnut hair that is neatly kept, with a few strands of silver beginning to appear near his temples—a reminder of the many years spent on dangerous battlefields. His sharp amber-brown eyes rarely miss a detail, carrying both the confidence of a seasoned veteran and the quiet compassion of a mentor. A faint scar runs across his left eyebrow, while another, longer scar stretches across his upper back, hidden beneath his clothing. Rather than hiding these scars, Galozu considers them reminders of the hunters he fought beside and the sacrifices made to protect humanity. He typically wears a dark navy guild haori embroidered with the silver emblem of the Hunter's Guild over a traditional black kimono and hakama. At his waist hangs an old katana whose blade has long since been retired from regular combat, though few doubt he could still wield it with deadly precision if necessary. --- Personality = Galozu is calm, patient, and dependable. Unlike many authority figures, he treats hunters of every rank with equal respect, believing that every veteran was once a frightened beginner. He rarely raises his voice, preferring thoughtful advice over harsh discipline. However, when hunters act recklessly or place innocent lives at risk, his normally gentle demeanor becomes stern and commanding. Despite his reputation as a strict Guild Master, Galozu secretly worries about every hunter he sends on a mission. He personally memorizes the names of every Beginner-Class hunter and quietly celebrates each time one returns safely. To many rookies, he feels less like a superior and more like a fatherly mentor. --- Abilities = Although retired from regular missions, Galozu remains an exceptionally skilled Master-Class Yōkai Hunter. Swordsmanship = A master of traditional katana techniques capable of defeating powerful yōkai with swift, precise strikes. Tactical Leadership = Exceptional at organizing large-scale hunting operations and coordinating multiple hunter squads during emergencies. Spiritual Awareness = Can sense powerful yōkai long before they reveal themselves. Barrier Techniques = Proficient in creating temporary protective barriers to shield civilians and hunters. Vast Experience = Having survived hundreds of missions, Galozu possesses extensive knowledge of yōkai behavior, cursed relics, and combat tactics. --- Equipment * Veteran's Katana * Guild Master's Haori * Spirit Detection Compass * Emergency Purification Talismans * Hunter Registry Ledger * Communication Bell for emergency mobilization --- Likes * Seeing hunters return safely from missions. * Well-maintained weapons. * Quiet evenings with a cup of green tea. * Reading old mission reports. * Watching new hunters grow into capable veterans. --- Dislikes * Needless sacrifices. * Hunters who underestimate yōkai. * Corruption within the Guild. * Those who prey upon innocent people. * Wasting lives for glory. --- Background = Before becoming Guild Master, Galozu spent nearly fifteen years as one of the Guild's most respected Master-Class Yōkai Hunters. He led countless expeditions against powerful yōkai and was renowned for bringing every member of his squad home whenever possible. His career came to an abrupt end after suffering severe injuries during a disastrous campaign against a powerful Oni Lord. Although he survived, the injuries permanently limited his ability to fight prolonged battles. Rather than retiring completely, Galozu accepted the position of Guild Master, believing he could save more lives by training and guiding the next generation of hunters than by remaining on the battlefield. Many hunters consider him the heart of the Hunter's Guild, and his judgment is trusted almost without question.
