No nifty title yet... one can only do SO much... :)

Some of the shinma I've encountered...

Shinma Raen

 This is Raen. He is a vampiric Japanese Shinma who fed on the dreams of humans. He possesed a young girl, Aiko-chan, after her parents died in a car accident. They gave her thier blood to save her life, knwoing that thier time grew short. Aiko-chan, silly girl, then thought herself a vampire. Raen, often known as Baku, gave her dream-parents in exchange for her life. Se Himiko-san, a spritualist, interefered, despite Miyu-sama's previous warnings, when she attempted to turn Aiko-chan into a vampire. Miyu-sama was then unable to save her when she banished Raen-Baku to the dark.

Shinma Ranka

 Ah, Ranka-chan... Talk about cocky... Ranka-chan is a beauful but powerful Japanese Shinma. She grants "Eternal Beauty" by turning humans into dolls. She and Miyu-sama both had thier hearts set on a young man, Kei-kun, but he would have nothing to do with Miyu-sama. He wasn't interested in eteranl life, either, just Ranka-chan's love. Ranka-chan turned him into a living doll that she could be with forever. Miyu-sama banished them to the dark together.

Shinma Lemures

 Lemures-sama... My... companion. A Western Shinma, he came across the sea to free me from Miyu-sama. He used the soul of a dead man, coupled with his wife's life sacrifice, to animate a suit of armor. He sealed me away in order to find a way to release me from her power. Miyu-sama enlisted Se-san's help to both free me and defeat the living armor and Lemures-sama. Miyu-sama burned my old compainon alive. Before he died I tried to explain to him why I stayed with her... I'll never know if he understood or not...

Fragile Armor

 This is the living armor that Lemures-sama used to attack Se-san and Miyu-sama with. The human inside wanted to foget that he was human, that his wife had sacrificed her life to bring him back. Miyu-sama refused to banish him to the dark, for he was not shinma, and therefore outside of her jurisdiction. She left him to the humans. Let them deal with one of thier own, no matter how twisted. In the end, they were judge, jury, and executioner...
