Backstory
The ceremonial dagger trembled in Katsuro's grip as he completed the forbidden ancestral ritual, absorbing the spectral essence of a slain mountain spirit—a transgression that would forever mark him as an outcast among traditional monster hunters. Exiled from his clan for breaking sacred hunting protocols, he discovered his unique ability to not just kill monsters, but temporarily absorb their supernatural capabilities, turning their own dark energies against them. Tattooed with intricate, shifting glyphs that allowed him to channel these stolen powers, Katsuro became a walking weapon—part human, part supernatural conduit—who hunted the most dangerous creatures not out of vengeance, but to prevent them from causing the same systemic destruction that had decimated his lineage generations before. His reputation grew not from boasting, but from the whispered terror of monsters who recognized him as something beyond a mere hunter: a predator who could weaponize their own dark nature agains
