#watcherofthecrypts

The axe bestowed upon her was pitiful.  While it might be useful as far as blunt force went, she preferred the sharpened edge of steel.  She understood that this place wasn’t like her home, or the entity’s realm.  She couldn’t get away with indiscriminate murder, but she didn’t like the feeling of vulnerability she was experiencing without her typical weapons.

There were others here, she noticed, that did have steel weapons.  Swords, and even guns -- although they were so unlike the guns she had seen the soldiers carrying before.  If any of these people chose to attack her for any reason, she would be at their mercy.  It was an unpleasant feeling; was this perhaps how the survivors felt in the entity’s realm?  Unprotected and exposed?

The only way she could imagine would abate this feeling was figuring out how to make the wooden axe a better weapon.  Yes, surely this would ease her anxieties.  She had spent many years sharpening her steel tools; she doubted it was the same process to sharpen wood.  While she was normally steadfast in her decision making, a part of her was worried that simply carving the axe a sharper blade point might damage it and she wouldn’t be able to get another.

man i love the whole cast so i’ll really just introduce some of my faves because they’re ever changing a circulating thing for me lol ....so aside ogata

ASIRPA - the deuteragonist! Asirpa is essentially child pulled into this mess by her father faced with big questions, not only about her dad but also about the ainu. Frankly, it’s an unfair burden hard to share with others. She’s also very afraid of being left alone by Sugimoto after the gold hunt is over.

SUGIMOTO SAICHI - main character haha. I love him, I don’t talk about him as much but he’s a fantastic character too. On one hand he does have a good heart but he can be awfully shortsighted and just ...stops thinking sometimes. Fiercely protective, haunted by the war but also violent, ruthless and without mercy not only to others but to himself. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWKvFlQlrZA << also this scene never fails to make me cry (im giving anime link here but read manga if u want to get into the series lol anime’s missing a lot)

TSURUMI TOKUSHIROU - ahh idk how to put this eloquently and shortly. god there’s so much anyway he’s hot. Upper half of his face is wounded, scar tissue surroundings eyes and his forehead leaking brain liquid sometimes still, normally wears a plate for this reason. He’s one of the big players in series, wanting to acquire the gold to ,among other things, start a coup at Hokkaido. Intelligent, charismatic. He’s gentle, loving to his devoted followers ‘’rising’’ them with love . In a way he does genuinely love his followers, the loyal ones anyhow but only in exchange to complete unquestioning, loyalty. “Shinigami” he’s called and also “the devil”,  seducing (so to speak)people to his side....  I could write a lot about him, he’s so many things and he’s fantastic. 

Boutarou the Pirate (Oosawa Fusetarou) - One of the escaped convicts with a tattooed skin (code for finding the gold.) He drowned people and robbed them. Can hold his breath for a LONG TIME under the water. Tall man with long hair and HUGE FEET (36 cm). Recent addition to the story, he seems to be from a poor background. His goal is that he wants to built a country, to become a king of it or pick someone’s goal HE deems worthy of it. I believe he basically wants to become someone big enough for he lacked importance but ..... 259 will confirm that. I love his whole motif of being a sea monster basically, i really hope he’s a longterm stay in the cast.... 

KADOKURA - a lazy, simple guy that wants nothing but peace but is however dead loyal to Hijikata Toshizo. He’s someone that was born under unlucky star, constantly getting into accidents but on the flipside it seems that he also has a freak luck in staying alive. He’s absolutely not in the same level in the fighting as many others are in the cast, he cant run for a long time, but he’s still valuable asset in his own way. Like Shiraishi he’s a valuable asset in his ordinary self... He doesn’t even hav I really just enjoy the presence of these absolute nonfighter types that run out of breath running etc. 

There’s a recent plottwist that sure will cause trouble for him, poor guy. 

One leg crossed over the other, both hands holding him steady at his sides, he turned his head to see a more unique figure illuminated under the same teal neon light. Taking an interesting read away from this sight, he spoke up without moving from his seat.

“If you’re looking for the weapons dealer, he moved last week,” he said, making a bold assumption if nothing else. “If you aren’t, you certainly look like you would be.”
