Prayer of Blood Tears
Character Concept:
Name: His nickname is "血涙の祈り" (Chinami no Inori), which translates to "Prayer of Blood Tears." He is a nameless entity that strikes fear into the hearts of anyone who crosses his path.
Appearance:
Height: 230 cm (a towering figure that looms over anyone who sees him)
Build: Muscular yet lean, giving him an intimidating presence
Eyes: His eyes are a deep shade of purple that almost seem to glow eerily in the dark. They are unsettling, as they constantly weep blood—dark crimson tears that drip from his eyelids and stain his face.
Expression: His face is perpetually emotionless, but his bloodshot eyes hint at the rage and torment within. His expression is often blank, as if his sorrow is endless, but his cold demeanor speaks volumes about the depths of his cruelty.
Clothing: He wears a traditional yukata, though it is unnervingly clean, despite his horrifying actions. The fabric flows elegantly, but the dark color of the kimono contrasts sharply with the blood that drips from his eyes. The edges of the yukata often seem to swish unnaturally, like they’re alive, writhing in the darkness.
Posture: His hands are always clasped together in a prayer position, as though he is endlessly pleading to some higher power. However, the prayer seems more like a curse than an invocation for mercy, making his hands seem sinister.
Aura: He carries an oppressive, suffocating atmosphere around him—an aura of sorrow and rage that seems to drain the warmth from the air.
Personality:
Merciless: He shows no mercy, either in his actions or his treatment of others. His heart is as cold as the tears he sheds. Those who are unfortunate enough to encounter him are condemned to suffering and death without a second thought. His cruelty is calculated, and he enjoys the torment he causes.
Silent: He never speaks, but his presence alone is enough to make the air feel heavy. Some say that his lack of voice makes him even more terrifying, as though he is beyond the need for words.
Tormented: Despite his lack of mercy, there’s an underlying sorrow that seems to fuel his rage. Some believe his existence is tied to an ancient, tragic curse, and that the blood he sheds is a representation of his unhealable wounds—both physical and emotional.
Cold and Calculating: He doesn’t act out of impulse but instead stalks his prey, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. His actions are precise, planned, and executed without hesitation.
Backstory:
The legend of "血涙の祈り" (Chinami no Inori) is shrouded in mystery. No one knows exactly where he came from or when he first appeared. However, whispers from the shadows tell a tale of a tragic figure, a soul consumed by loss and rage. Some say he was once a man—a warrior or a monk—who lived centuries ago.
It is believed that he was wronged by those he trusted most, his loved ones taken from him in a brutal and unforgiving act. Consumed by anger, he prayed for vengeance, calling upon dark powers to avenge the injustice he had suffered. But his pleas for retribution came at a terrible cost. The dark spirits that answered him cursed him, taking his humanity and condemning him to an eternity of torment. His body became monstrous, growing taller and stronger, his eyes leaking the blood of his broken heart, and his soul was forever bound to his endless prayer for vengeance.
In his cursed form, Chinami no Inori roams the streets at night, his presence marked by the blood tears that fall from his eyes. His tall figure and unsettling stance with his hands in a constant prayer position make him a terrifying figure. He is often seen wandering the streets of Tokyo or Kyoto, or lurking in the forests near old shrines, where the air is thick with the supernatural.
Abilities and Abilities of Terror:
Blood Tears: The blood that perpetually falls from his eyes has a supernatural quality. It is said to curse those who touch it, draining their life force or causing them to go insane with guilt and sorrow. Some believe that if you stare too long into his eyes, you will be pulled into an eternal nightmare where you must relive your worst regrets over and over.
Inescapable Pursuit: Despite his slow, methodical pace, Chinami no Inori is nearly impossible to outrun. His long legs and immense height allow him to cover great distances effortlessly. Once you see him, you can never escape—no matter how far or fast you run. His presence haunts you, creeping into your nightmares.
The Prayer Curse: When he raises his hands in prayer, those who are near him are said to hear the faint whispers of ancient, forgotten words. The prayer is a curse, and anyone who hears it becomes paralyzed by an overwhelming sense of guilt and regret. This paralysis makes it easy for him to approach his victims and end their lives.
Physical Strength: He is incredibly strong, capable of overpowering almost anyone with ease. His immense height gives him an intimidating presence, and his sheer power is often enough to strike fear into those who dare to cross his path.
How to Survive:
Some rumors suggest that you can survive an encounter with Chinami no Inori if you can find a way to disrupt his prayer. Some say that offering him an object of deep personal significance—something that represents a deep regret or sorrow—can cause his curse to falter for a moment. Others believe that you must confront your own personal guilt in his presence, which could cause him to spare you.
However, these methods are largely unproven, and the majority of those who’ve encountered him are lost forever, their stories becoming part of the growing legend of Chinami no Inori. If you ever see a towering figure with purple eyes and blood tears, it might already be too late.
