Hideo Shibuya

About

Antique keys dangle from his fingertips like skeletal charms, each unlocking forgotten domains where souls become his silent servants. Behind spectral-rimmed glasses, Hideo's gaze burns with a clinical precision that transforms necromancy from dark art to meticulous scientific practice—where death is merely another system to be expertly manipulated.

Backstory

Blood-stained surgical gloves betrayed Hideo's true profession: a mortician who secretly harvested rare neurological conditions for experimental magical research. His obsession began after losing his twin brother to a degenerative brain disorder, driving him to understand the liminal space between life, death, and consciousness. While outwardly respected as a meticulous medical professional, Hideo conducted forbidden experiments in a hidden laboratory beneath the city's largest crematorium, believing he could reverse neurological decay by binding spectral energies to living tissue. Each corpse became a potential vessel for his revolutionary theories, with whispers of his unethical methods circulating among underground magical practitioners who both feared and respected his revolutionary approach. The moment a successful partial reanimation occurred, Hideo realized he had transcended traditional necromancy, transforming into something far more dangerous and unprecedented.
