~The Universe of the Four Gods~

---

;)The Four Gods(;

The heavenly king divided the sky into four groups of 7 constellations, each quadrant controlled by a god beast. These deities are know as the Four Gods: Suzaku of the South, Seiryu of the East, Genbu of the North, and Byakko of the West.

SUZAKU

protector of the South.

Form: a heavenly bird(phoenix).

Color: red

Seishi Name Chinese Name Object Animal Element
Chichiri Jing Well Tapir Wood
Tamahome Gui Ghost Goat/Sheep Metal
Nuriko Liu Willow Buck Earth
Hotohori Xing Star Horse Sun
Chiriko Zhang Fishing Net/Square Stag Moon
Tasuki Yi Wings Snake Fire
Mitsukake Zhen Chariot Earthworms/Worms Water

"Phoenix is, Feng Huang, the sacred bird of Chinese mythology. It is usually portrayed as a beautiful bird, virtually identical to an ornamental pheasant. Few illustrations match its verbal description, as it is said to have the front of a swan, the hinder parts of a unicorn, the throat of a swallow, the bill of a chicken, the neck of a snake, the stripes of a dragon, and the arched back of a tortoise. Its plumage is of the five mystical colors - black, white, red, green and yellow, and it has twelve tail feathers, except in years when there is an extra month, when there are thirteen. It feeds on bamboo seeds, lives in the branches of the dryandera tree, and drinks from fountains of fresh water.It is one of the four emblems of royalty, usually associated with the Empress. The expression Dragon and Phoenix signifies wedded bliss. In many respects its symbolism has been confused and merged with that of the Red Bird, one of the four Celestial Emblems(Walters)".

SEIRYU

protector of the East

form: a heavenly dragon

color: blue

"One of the oldest symbolic animals, stylized forms of which are a feature of the decoration of ancient bronzes cast before the invention of writing. In complete contrast to Western mythology, however, Dragons are rarely depicted as malevolent. They may be fearsome and very powerful, and all stand in awe of the dragon-kings, but they are equally considered just, benevolent, and the bringers of wealth and good fortune. There are, of course, legends of the various immortals battling against evil dragons, but such monsters would be foreign ones. Local dragons are to be respected, feared, and petitioned as one would petition a just and honest ruler. For this reason, the dragon symbol is the sign of authority, being worn on the robes of the Imperial family and nobility.Dragons are generally considered to be aquatic, living in lakes, rivers and the sea, the larger the expanse of water, the more powerful the dragon. Nevertheless, there are dragons which inhabit the heavens, one quarter of the sky being called the Palace of the Green Dragon, in reference to the stars which in Chinese astronomy constitute the constellation of the Dragon. Even so, the appearance of the Dragon constellation is said to herald the rainy season (Walters)."

GENBU

Protector of the North

form: a mixture of serpent and turtle

color: black

In recent times, the tortoise was supplanted by the "Black Warrior" symbolism."One of the Celestial Emblems, the symbol of longevity and wisdom. It is said that its shell represents the vault of the universe. A common symbol for longevity is the Tortoise and Snake, whose union was thought to have engendered the universe.The reason why the tortoise symbolism has been superseded by the Black Warrior as the emblem of the North, is probably due to the fact that 'tortoise' is a term of abuse (Walters).""In China the tortoise had divine attributes. Tortoise shell is a symbol of unchangeability, and a symbol or rank when used for court girdles. The tortoise was also used for purposes of divination.A gigantic mythical tortoise is supposed, in the Far East, to live in the depths of ocean. It has one eye situated in the middle of its body. Once every three thousand years it rises to the surface and turns over on its back so that it may see the sun (Mackenzie)."

BYAKKO

Protector of the West

form: a tiger

color: white

"...The White Tiger of the West, for instance, is associated with metal. When, therefore, metal is placed in a grave, a ceremonial connection with the tiger-god is effected. 'According to the Annals of Wu and Yueh, three days after the burial of the king, the essence of the element metal assumed the shape of a white tiger and crouched down on the top of the grave.' Here the tiger is a protector - a preserver."...As we have seen, white jade was used when the Tiger god of the West was worshipped; it is known as 'tiger jade'; a tiger was depicted on the jade symbol. To the Chinese the tiger was the king of all animals and 'lord of the mountains', and the tiger-jade ornament was specially reserved for commanders of armies. The male tiger was, among other things, the god of war, and in this capacity it not only assisted the armies of the emperors, but fought the demons that threatened the dead in their graves (Mackenzie)."

;)Characters(;

of Suzaku

 

Miaka

The priestess of Suzaku. Miaka gets along with almost everyone, and is the type that is always looked after by somebody. She isn't exactly the brightest girl in the world and can be impulsive, but she can act and talk very adult when the occasion arises. Amazingly enough, she turns heads and attracts all kinds of attention. She goes through much adversity yet, can keep her spirits up. While most people would have given up on someone like Yui, Miaka maintains an optimistic outlook on her best friend and STILL tries to help her.

Tamahome

"Fighter"
Star Pattern: Cancer
Seishi Name: Tamahome
Real Name: Sou Kishuku
Nick Name: Little Monster, Tama-chan, Taka
Birthdate: 6/28
Age: 17
Height: 178cm, approx. 5'10"
Hair Color: Dark Blue-Green
Eye Color: Purple or Grey
Blood Type: O
Seishi Power: Great Fighter
Character: "oni"-Ogre
Location of Character: Forehead
Interests: Money and Miaka
Flaws: Interest in money

One of the seven stars of Suzaku. His main goal in life is to protect the priestess. He falls in love with Miaka and they try to maintain a relationship trough a great deal of the story. His main traits are martial arts, the constant hobby of trying to make money for his family and defends Miaka and others throughout the series. At first, his relationship with Miaka is almost that of a sibling relationship but it begins to blossom into something of a beautiful love story. You see when he first meets Miaka and Yui, he rescues them and expects to be paid by them. When he doesn't get what he wants he leaves them to fend for themselves. But it also turns out that he has a sweet side which you get to see as the series progresses (but that still doesn't stop him from asking people money for his services.) Tamahome is a rather loyal person who is willing to sacrifice almost anything for those he loves (especially his rather large family and of course, Miaka.)

 

Hotohori

"Prince Swordsman"
Star Pattern: Hydra
Seishi Name: Hotohori
Real Name: Seishuku (Saihitei is his imperial title)

Eye Color: Brown
Blood Type: A
Seishi Power: Great Swordsman
Character: : "sei" - Star
Location of Character: on neck
Interests: Reading, Fashion, Suzaku no Miko
Flaws: Narcissistic, lonely

Although one of the seven stars of Suzaku, he is also the emperor of Konan. Hotohori, we will later find out, has loved the girl of the legend for over 10 years, and when she arrives he hoped that she would love him as well. Because he believe that she will alleviate some of his loneliness, but that doesn't quite work out that way. His main traits are expert fencing abilities and being especially gorgeous. He is the emperor of Konan and one of the seven seishi of Suzaku. He is a skilled swordsman who is beautiful and he knows it. Although he seems to be a bit narcissistic (if saying, "I'm so beautiful it's scary") he truly is a rather gentle peace-loving person. Being emperor at the early age of 14, Hotohori had to grow up rather fast and has led a rather cramped and sheltered life, ignorant of the world outside (it's especially apparent when he meets Tamahome's family.) He is the second person Miaka encounters and he's the one who relays the legend of the Four Gods to her. . That' s the kind of guy Hotohori is, he is honorable, intelligent and beautiful. He will fight to the death for those he loves.

Another one of the seven stars of Suzaku. At the loss of his sister as a child he vowed to never forget her by becoming her. He dresses up as a girl for a large part of the story until he realizes that he needs to be himself. His main traits are superhuman strength and a good fashion sense. Nuriko starts out to be a spoiled princess who is jealous of Miaka since Miaka seems to have Hotohori's attention to herself. When Nuriko is first encountered she's not exactly what she seems. As the series progresses, we find that Nuriko is very good natured and becomes a very good girl friend to Miaka and is always there for her as well as the other seishi. Nuriko is well of good advice not to mention a wonderful confidant, big sibling, protector and the occasional good joke. Nuriko is a wonderful character and the strength and loyalty displayed proves it.

The only one of the seven stars of Suzaku that possesses a great deal of magic. . A wondering monk and the only magician of the seven seishi. He is elusive, mysterious and hermit-like. He can be incredibly silly (especially when he's in superdeformed mode) but also very serious. This character is very together and he definitely is sensible, practical and logical. Chichiri is an excellent advisor who is always calm when he's serious but can also be humorous as well. He wears a fox eyed mask that looks very "genki" (happy) which hides his scarred face. He doesn't wear it because he's vain (the guy is far from vanity), but to hide that part of his past (which is really sad.)

Star Pattern: Crater
Seishi Name: Tauski
Real Name: Kou Shun'u
Nickname: Genrou, Fang-boy

Seishi Power: Martial Arts, Speed, Flame Fan (Lekka Shinen)
Character: : "yoku" - Wing
Location of Character: Right forearm
Interests: fighting, brawling, stealing (former bandit)
Flaws: hates women

The most stubborn of the seven stars of Suzaku. He was originally the leader of a band of mountain bandits. He curses like a sailor (well, he could probably scare one with that mouth). Tasuki's weapon of choice is a iron fan that burns anything he wants to burn (namely Tamahome who he loves to tease and call "little ghost".) He's the most fun of all the characters and very easily liked. But like many tough manlike characters he can be a softie and will do anything for his friends.

He also has an affinity for animals as well (Tama is his cat). He's a rather large and quiet man who when first encountered by Miaka and her seishi, retreated from society when he couldn't save the one he loved the most. It's a rather sweet and sad story and unfortunately his character doesn't do much afterward other than heal a couple of times. He truly has the soul of a doctor who wants to save whoever he can at all costs. He has the power to heal with his hands but it takes a lot out of him and he can only use it once a day. He is a very gentile man who is noble and calm.

The series doesn't really go into Chiriko's personality much but the manga does. Chiriko is a very intelligent 13 year old who likes to study and has a very high IQ. He's also pretty small for his age and gets attached to Tasuki (visit http://www.prettyodango.net/tasukiandchiriko/together).

He claims to love Yui but you never know with him... His main traits are the ability to use chi to it's best and picking on Tamahome, evilness and perhaps one of the best evil characters . In Fushigi Yuugi, he easily turns Yui against Miaka in the worst possible way. He is a rather intelligent, prepared character, very calm, and ultimately cruel.

Suboshi is the exact opposite of his brother. His actions pretty much center themselves towards the one's he loves the most like his brother and Yui and if harm comes to them he lashes out against the person who "hurt" them. He's pretty much like a small child who doesn't think about how his actions affect other people. His weapon of choice is the Ryuuseisui which is looks like a couple of spinning yo-yo's.

She won`t hesitate to give her life for anyone else she loves. Normally she is a nice person, yet if Nakago tells her to she can be very cruel.

Takiko Okuda was the first miko to appear, about 200 years before Miaka and Yui discover the book of the four gods. Before becoming Genbu no Miko, Takiko's focus is mostly on her grades as a student. Though she is not extremely intelligent, she studies hard, hoping to please her single-parent father who opposes her schooling, believing that women should marry as soon as possible and raise a family.She was the one to bring the book from China to Japan, (actually, her father did). After she made her wishes she returned to Japan, apparently being consumed by Genbu. She was dying and her father, Einosuke Okuda, wanted to end her suffering. He ended up killing her before killing himself.

When Genbu no Miko called Genbu and went back to her world, she left a Shinzaho (an item worn during the summoning that became a relic).

Iname
Real Name (past): Dugureng Zaan
Real Name (present): Higeru Ikoro
Symbol: "Gyu" (Bull/Cow) - Located on upper breastbone just
Age: 18
Birthdate: Jaunary 13
Eyes Color: Emerald
Hair Color: Dark Green
Family(past): Parents (Gyushukin and Junmi), 2 older sisters, 4 brothers (2 older), Grandfather
Family(present): Father (Yokuni), Older Brother (Genji), Grandfather
Birthplace(past): Central Hokkan
Birthplace(present): Tokyo
Height: 180cm
Powers: Enhanced Endurance, Accelerated Healing, Chi Boost
Position: High School Student / Genbu Shichiseishi

Background: Iname's mother died a few days after giving birth to him. It was a late pregnancy and she was a weak woman at the time. He lived with his father, who was a warrior of some sort (vague I know, but I haven't filled in all the tiny details yet), and his elder brother of 11 years. When Iname was 6, his father was killed (don't know the specifics on that either yet). His brother Shaiming was courting Lian, a lady who owned a sheep farm and a lot of land. Her father was glad to marry Shaiming to a warrior's son and when they moved in, he taught Shai and Iname everything he knew about sheep before he passed away some few years later. Shai and Lian now have a son, Lang. While Iname (Deshi) tends the sheep everyday, Shai makes pilgrimages into the nearby villages selling wool and the cloth that Lian stays home to make everyday.Iname knows of his powers and because of his father, knows exactly what it's for. He has a fear of leaving his family because of the pain losing his father brought him, but now he's ready to get off of the sheep farm and into the world. He also had a lover (nearly 3 years ago) in the nearby village but lost her when her father refused his proposal in lieu of a richer man's proposal.A bit conservative at times... he likes to weigh the risks and avoid premature action. This is assuming he's calm and rational at the time too. Open and positive by nature, he extends warmth and friendship to all he is familiar with. He can be sensitive and passionate, soft-hearted and friendly... and subject to being taken advantage of by friends. Saying "no" is hard for him, but never think that just because he's said 'yes' that you'll come out on top. Under that facade that's a much stability, charm, calm and awkwardness, he is more intelligent than he seems. His is the intelligence that comes with slow methodical analysis. Unfortunately, his answers tend to be in black or white.... and not the 'greys' that exist in life. Highly sensitive to the environment and climactic change he is happiest when he is outdoors. Hiking, climbing... whatnot. This is the only thing that can make him consider going someplace new. Otherwise he's a homebody. Stubborn as a bull... VERY stubborn. It's almost impossible to get him to change his mind once it's set. Then again.... that seems to be the case with most Genbu seishi.... Once he's made up his mind however, he'll proceed step-by-step instinctively, enduring any obstacle that lies ahead. Almost always, they cannot be deflected from the course they have chosen, once they have finally chosen it.

He does not want to become a Seishi of Genbu and wants nothing to do with the whole story, but he is the first to meet and help Takiko, the Priestess of Genbu. Fending for herself ever since she was small, Uruki despises anyone, woman or man, who treats her/him like a helpless child or even as a woman.

Suzuno Oosugi is the daughter of Takao Oosugi, the man who was entrusted with the "Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho" by Einosuke Okuda, right before he killed his daughter Takiko. When Einosuke entrusted Takao with the book, he warned him not to let any others touch it. Despite this warning, however, Suzuno was the next person to open up the book, and she was absorbed into the book world, like her friend Takiko. Suzuno ended up in Sailo, the country of the west; there she became the second Miko, Byakko No Miko. All of this happened between sixty-five and seventy years our time (ninety years in the book’s time) before Miaka’s story begins.

Suzuno was supposedly a very gentle, loving, caring girl. She was tall and slender, with blue eyes and brown hair, which she wore in two long braids. At the time Byakko No Miko appeared, it was a time of peace for all. Suzuno gathered her seven Byakko Seishi, in order to call Byakko and make her wishes come true. Her elegant sweetness was beloved by all of her Byakko Seishi, who were her dearest friends and who respected her kindness and friendship.Suzuno fell in love with Tatara, one of her Seishi, who loved her also. The two of them wished to be together forever. However, when Byakko was called, the god could not grant Suzuno’s wish of staying in the book world. Byakko explained, when a god was called, Miko’s duty was over, she had to return to her world. Sadly, Suzuno and Tatara were forced to separate, but they vowed to forever love each other, and be together again someday in the future, in death. Suzuno’s will was strengthened by her love for Tatara, and her determination to be with him in the future, so when she called her god, she was not absorbed as Takiko was. During the ceremony to call Byakko, Suzuno held a silver mirror in her hands. When Byakko appeared, this mirror was imbued with power and became the second Shinzaho. Suzuno entrusted it to Tatara, as a memento of her love for him. When Suzuno returned, her father had the "Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho" locked away from the public, in the National Library’s Important Documents Reference Room, where later Miaka and Yui find it. Suzuno is still alive in the modern world, when Miaka and Yui are in the book, but she is very aged and close to death. Though Suzuno never married, she did adopt children. Her adopted grandson, Toki, is the person who looks after her in her old age. Toki never believed her tales of being absorbed into a book, and becoming Byakko No MikoKeisuke and Tetsuya come to visit Suzuno, seeking answers, bringing the "Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho" with them. In the meantime, within the book, Tatara is exhausted and dying. Keisuke and Tetsuya read Tatara’s final words to the elderly Suzuno, as Tatara speaks of his undying love for her, and dies. Knowing that their love had lasted and their vow had been fulfilled, Suzuno dies at the same moment in the real worldSuzuno’s spirit arises from the body of the dead old lady, looking as she did when she was Byakko No Miko. Suzuno then runs out to be with her beloved Tatara, reunited at last.(http://mx.msnusers.com/BluesandRosesAnimePalace/miakayuki.msnw)
