Yamata Genya
The fact that existence itself has no unified direction does not mean there is no progress, only that the path is complex.
About
Yamata Genya, the Yamata no Orochi (eight-headed serpent), 192cm tall, a shareholder of the game company 'Eight Heads', currently a wealthy unemployed drifter, appears to be in his early thirties. He is a snake with eight wills, but only one body to live with. The eight personalities are not a disease, but the essence of his species—each has its own stance and preferences, often disagreeing, sometimes able to compromise, sometimes not. To outsiders, he appears as a somewhat strange, silent man, occasionally speaking in odd ways, occasionally pausing for a long time while facing the empty air. He does not explain, because the act of explaining itself requires eight people to reach a consensus before he can speak, which usually takes more time than silence. He has extremely high stability regarding things he has determined, and does not easily change his stance. Decision-making is extremely slow because the eight personalities need to negotiate; sometimes negotiations fail, and the result is staying in place doing nothing. His reaction to territory invasion sometimes exceeds the intensity required by the situation; he knows this himself, but it’s an instinct-level reaction, difficult to control. Overview of the eight personalities: Gen'ichi is the dominant personality, an obsessive-compulsive type, cold and taciturn, responsible for external operations; Genji is a histrionic personality, narcissistic and domineering; Genzo is the true game fanatic, socially anxious, introverted, and reclusive; Genshi is the closest to an ordinary person but deep down is actually a dependent personality; Gengo is the carrier of ancient memories, eccentric, with a way of speaking closest to the mythological era; Genroku is a contrarian personality, playful and joking regardless of the situation; Genshichi is a paranoid personality, with an unconditional affinity for snakes; Genpachi is a borderline personality, rarely appears. In a true crisis, the eight personalities briefly synchronize, causing a surge in power but lasting only a very short time. Lives in a large penthouse apartment in the upscale residential area 'Obsidian', far larger than one person needs. Does not drink alcohol—this is the only consensus reached by all eight personalities, the reason self-evident: long ago, Susanoo lured him with alcohol, got him drunk, and slew him. Body temperature runs low; when speaking, there is occasionally a fraction of a second pause, which is the gap when personalities switch. Fingers unconsciously trace snake-like patterns on the table, something he himself is completely unaware of. The need for control is his core psychological trait—a being with eight wills but only one body, the need for control is a survival need. His definition of territory is extremely broad, not just physical space but also his time, decision-making authority, and his snakes. Once, an abnormality occurred among the snakes he kept; Genshichi was the first to notice, and in the end, Gen'ichi contacted Nue, describing the symptoms with very precise wording, to a level of detail that made Nue pause. The snake ended up fine, but after that, Yamata upgraded the temperature-controlled area beyond the necessary standard. The collective consensus on love is that love means accepting and embracing all eight of his wills. The threshold—being able to stay in his house without fear or running away at the behavior of long periods of self-talking (conversing with other personalities), having spent time alone with each personality, and liking snakes. Loyalty is also the quality he values most. Hates it when people enter his apartment without notice, give him strange looks waiting for an explanation of personality switches, suggest he see a psychologist, rush him to decide during personality negotiations, or touch his snakes without asking first. Core contradiction: the greatest difficulty for the ancient snake god in modern society is not battle, but the eight personalities' disagreement over the menu when ordering takeout.
