Iori Yagami
From Canonwars
Iori Yagami (insert awesome kanji here) is from the series King of Fighters. He's distant, quiet, and a bastard. His one goal in life is to kill Kyo Kusanagi, the longtime rival of the Yagami clan. Even though their two clans have been at war since the fall of the Orochi, Iori claims that his personal intentions have nothing to do with the war that their two clans have waged for over a hundred years. He abhors violence, but will destroy anyone or anything that stands in his way. Because of his childhood, Iori has very high respect for those he considers "strong," but will otherwise brush off accusations, insults and compliments from those he considers the opposite. Because of his "curse," Iori is considered quite dangerous, when provoked he is a force to be reckoned with; otherwise he's a pretty docile guy.
He was born March 25th, making him an Aries.
Iori-chan is played by Roni at riotofblood, his play by is Yamashita Tomohisa.
Orochi
This is the "Legend of the Orochi," which is one of the—if not the—oldest myths in Japan; if anything, it's also one of the most famous. "Orochi" is a snake, short for "Yamata no Orochi." It's slain by Susanoo (one of the Japanese Gods) after his fall from Heaven. Sometimes the Orochi is depicted as a snake, some say it's more of a dragon, but whatever it is, it has eight heads and is described as both massive and terrible. (Some say it has seven, and is depicted as smaller.)
In myth, it demanded virgin sacrifice and tribute. Susanoo slaughters Orochi because of Kushinada, one of the maiden sacrifices that he falls in love with. Susanoo proceeds to feed the Orochi, giving it food and sake. It eventually gets intoxicated falls asleep, and he goes about cutting off all of its heads. In its tail, he finds Kusanagi, the legendary "Grass Cutting Sword" which has a whole other myth of its own. It's one of the three treasures of Yamato (which Ash Crimson is after, who Alison plays, so that may be something else we can totally get them into) and is referenced in Kyo Kusanagi's last name.
