[Kazuya Minegishi, Demon King extraordinaire, reincarnation of Abel and ambitious slayer of God... popped his head out of the soil like the world's most pathetic and bleary-eyed mole.
Hair in comical disarray, dirt clinging to his eyelashes and cheeks smeared with mud, he stopped and stared in comical confusion while still waist-deep in soft, loamy soil. Despite the situation, he didn't seem distressed so much as looking slightly turned around, as if he was trying to squint at the overhead signs in a supermarket notorious for swapping its aisles' contents around.
Dirt. Trees. No memory of how he came to be here. Trippy visions? Only one answer for this mystery:]
Oh, you fucking bastard.
[God! Literally, God. Which backwater pocket dimension had that talking head tossed him into now?!]
'With your might, slaying God will be easy, brother'. [Voice pitched in a mocking (and horrible) imitation of Naoya, Kazuya grumpily clawed his way out of the earth.] 'Just trust me, brother'. Trust you? I'm crawling out of a grave! Again!
[Huffing and puffing with irritation rather than exertion, he brushed himself down and... noticed...
...]
WHY AM I NAKED!?!?
۞ II. Springstar/Highstorm.
[Grumpy and confused, and slightly disconcerted that his infernal powers were not working, Kazuya reverted back to Survival Mode: that being, find a nice dark corner, food in hand, and brood over his situation.
This is what he did in Springstar and Highstorm both, looking every inch of a petulant teenager that was trying to put up a tough front to cover up his nervousness. With his wide, blue eyes and baby face, he looked completely harmless!
Really, he's totally harmless! (lol)
But if you don't approach him as he's demolishing a plate of finger foods in the dark corner like some edgy protagonist, he does eventually skulk out to mingle. He doesn't openly approach anyone, but he does loiter around to try and earwig on ambient conversation... really obviously.
Look, there's a reason why Naoya is the brains and Kazuya's the brawn!]
۞ III. Alenroux.
[Oh man, this was so trippy.
Days after arriving in this weird dimension, Kazuya decided to check out this 'Alenroux' everyone had a bee in their bonnet about. It was a pastoral island, with rolling fields of crops and wheat and Kazuya felt very weird about the wheat fields for some reason. Like, oh, my blood's kinda spiking? Why am I so scared of wheat? Is this a bleedover from when Naoya apparently killed him in a field that one time? What a bizarre thing for his soul to retain an emotional reaction to.]
Man, I didn't know this stuff could grow so tall. Look at it.
[Of course, weird feelings from past death experiences or not, Kazuya amused himself by standing in the wheat field, childishly sweeping his arms through the long stalks and watching them bend and sway, their scent foreign yet delightful to him. Kazuya was a city boy through and through, so this was amusingly novel to him.]
Why does it smell so good too...
[He's utterly entranced.]
۞ IV. Wildcard.
[OOC: Kazuya will mostly just be wandering around. He's quite a suspicious and wary guy, but otherwise he'll be receptive to someone coming over to talk to him! For those who can sense supernatural things, however...
Kazuya is also the King of Bel, the supreme lord of all demons as well as being the reincarnation of biblical Abel. So, if any characters can sense that shit or clock onto it, feel free! I'll roll with it! He'll be unharmonised for the TDM as well!]
