The old lore post was kinda dusty, so, in summary let’s discuss the Gojo Clan.
They originate from the mountains of Hokkaido, they were meant to be nothing more than farmers, artisans, people that generally worked with their hands. During times of war && famine, they often helped those around them, while few of the clan were hunters, most knew of them due to their humility && charity. The first heir of the Six Eyes was hailed as more of a curse than a blessing, it would not be till the third inheritor did the tides begin to turn, the first is deemed as All Knowing, the Second was the Timid Child, while the Third was the New Dawn. They are meant to resemble that of ‘reunion’ the binding agent in their family will always be the new heir, they are the core that helps to guide them into prosperity && uphold the sanctity of the clan. For this alone, that individual is ‘deeply’ loved, a soul that is never forgotten && hailed to meet again hence their death is always a parting.
By the Golden Age of Curses, the Gojo Clan is refuted as one of the strongest for holding the pinnacle of the Heavens in their arms. It is in that particular era their will is made sure && all will come to remember them as the foundation that holds the realms together. The Gojo Clan has always been in a bitter feud with the Zen’ins for the focal point of the Heavens cannot align with the darkness, because of this, they view that of wolves as an ill omen && denounce those who hail from such clan. There will be no marriages, agreements, ect with the Zen’in blood to do so is at one’s own peril. Their nature shifts from warm individuals to that of desolation && isolation after the death of the infant heir. From there forth, the successor or the Six Eyes would be raised in isolation. They often dawn white masks or a veil to cloth their features, in their secrecy, anonymity && separation they can protect one another. If an individual is found to be a traitor or to conspire against the clan, they are executed, there is no discussion && it is a heavy burden they carry. To this very day, the estate is still located in their ancestral lands && there is a modern day compound within Kyoto that is used during the summer, otherwise, it is common in the winter months for Satoru to vanish in order to head home.
Here are some in depth facts along with prominent figures that are often seen along with the origins of Satoru’s parents.
The mark of a Gojo often includes silver to white hair, some carry a different sheen, pearlescent pink, violet, or cool steel gray. They will always have a variation of blue eyes, resembling the ever shifting nature of the sky, for those most blessed some are particular to ice. They are long, slender && tall beings who naturally carry an air of grace to them. Almost every Gojo walks with a haughtiness even the lowest figures will not be shaken. Often, they have an odd way of speaking that comes off as melodic && sweet. Their common colors are teal, royal blue, silver, lower ranking members are often regaled in sapphires && wooden bracelets. For the highest honor, the one who sits on top shall be garbed in gold && diamonds, the mark of their God. They tend to gravitate to sunflowers, tulips, bright && colorful things that remind them of winter's end, dietary needs are often riddled in veganism except for the fourth successor who was a hunter, thus, in such an era, furs && meats were prominent.
The Six Eyes is regarded as a genderless entity that encapsulates the soul of the user. Every eye is a life that was lived, though the body may be different, the personality may shift, they will always stand exactly the same && resemble that neon hue of blue in their gaze. Gojo Satoru is regarded as the most ‘pure’ naturally boyish with a kindness that the rest lacked, many though endured strife, warring times, disease, hardship to endure while Satoru is to keep the balance. He is the thread that holds all together && bends it to his will.
In the eyes of the other noble houses, the Gojo Clan is referred to as ‘rowan in the snow’ a term of endearment that stems from their origins within the tundra. For others, it is also a derogatory term hissed && seethed over. No one pays mind to it whatsoever, the unblemished purity of such a notorious family is sought after && vetting for marriages begins young, the current incarnation has all but destroyed each prospect.
Satoru was sired by Gojo Itsuki, the towering willow tree of a man that is known primarily for his RCT usage (here’s a short blurb on him). He is one of very few sons in the clan only to be wedded in his early 20's to a woman named Umeko, whom Satoru resembles in every mannerism, despite both being unable to actively be a part of his life, Itsuki is shown to favor the young lordling. There have been many instances of moving the chessboard in Satoru’s sway, he is known to be cunning, ruthless && disinterested in anyone outside of the family. His name is spoken in hissed tongues thus, Itsuki has sought little favor amongst the rest of Jushiki society but has hailed his name in healing abilities enough to be sought after in secrecy. Itsuki has taught his child hymns, songs, the arts, along with comforting him in the namesake as nothing more but an unworthy attendant that wishes to seek an inkling of attention from a mere God. Not much is known about Umeko except that she departed the estate when Satoru was four, they are said to mirror one another in vanity, thus when one gazes at Satoru - they will see her.
