The Shinjaku Family: The Curse of the Blood Moon The Shinjaku Family is an ancient, dark lineage, whose history is not just filled with power and influence, but also marked by a curse that binds them to dark forces beyond their control. For centuries, the Shinjaku have been bound to the spirit world, trapped in an unending pact with an Oni. This bond has shaped every aspect of their existence, and the family carries the weight of this curse with them, generation after generation. Every member of the family bears the Blood Moon tattoo, a permanent reminder of their pact. The tattoo is not merely decorative but represents a powerful bond to the dark forces that control them. The moon depicted is fractured, with blood-red cracks, symbolizing the endless suffering and the perpetual curse they live under. On nights when the Blood Moon rises, the family gathers in secret for a ritual. It is not a voluntary display of power, but a necessary act to renew the pact with their dark master. During this ritual, all members wear black masks, each marked with a moon symbol on the forehead. These masks are not only ceremonial but magical, serving to protect them from the spirits they control, and to channel the dark powers tied to their bond with the Oni. But these masks also carry a curse: the longer they are worn, the more the wearer loses their humanity, becoming increasingly demon-like.
The Origin of the Curse: The Pact with Daikon, the Oni The origin of the Shinjaku curse dates back many centuries, to the time of the first Shinjaku, a man named Raizo Shinjaku, driven by greed and ambition. Raizo sought unimaginable power and attempted to transcend the boundaries between the living world and the spirit realm. In his desperation, he turned to Daikon, an Oni known for his cruelty and bloodlust. Raizo offered his own soul, as well as the souls of his descendants, in exchange for power beyond measure. He wished to rule the spirit world and become immortal, with his family by his side as rulers. Blinded by ambition, he signed a dark pact with Daikon, binding the entire Shinjaku lineage to the Oni. But the pact came with a steep price. The Shinjaku became the servants of Daikon, their fates tied to the spirits and demons of the underworld. The curse was not a punishment, but an obligation that would be passed down through generations, forcing each new heir to renew the pact with Daikon, either through magical offerings or sacrificial rites.
The Blood Moon Tattoo and the Masks The Blood Moon tattoo is not just a family mark; it is the visible symbol of the pact with Daikon. The tattoo consists of a moon, cracked and bleeding with red veins, symbolizing the eternal suffering that has been passed down through the Shinjaku bloodline. It is a constant reminder of the family’s bond with Daikon, an eternal mark of their dark connection. During the rituals, every family member wears black masks adorned with a moon symbol on the forehead. These masks serve as both a spiritual shield and a magical tool. They protect the wearer from the spirits they command, and they allow the wearer to channel the dark powers granted by the Oni. However, these masks are also cursed. The longer a mask is worn, the more the individual loses their humanity, becoming more demon than man as they descend further into darkness.
The Role of the Newcomers: Guardians of the Pact The newcomers to the Shinjaku family are not simply victims or heirs. They are of vital importance to the survival of the family. They are the key to renewing the pact with Daikon, and their souls are especially significant to the Oni. The curse forces the family to protect the newcomers, as their presence and energy are essential to keeping the pact alive. Without them, the bond with Daikon would weaken, and the entire family would be at risk. From a young age, newcomers are introduced to the dark arts and are trained in the ancient rituals of the family. They are not just heirs, but the guardians of the pact, holding the key to the family’s continued existence. Their magical power is essential in maintaining the connection to the Oni, and they must be protected at all costs. The newcomers are not victims of sacrifice; rather, they are the vessel that holds the family’s future in their hands.
The Offerings to the Oni: Renewing the Pact The Shinjaku family is not free to choose whether or not to renew their pact. The curse forces them to continuously reaffirm their bond with Daikon. But the offerings are not always human sacrifices. Instead, the family must sacrifice magical energy, soul fragments, or magical relics to maintain their connection to the Oni.
Soul Fragments: During the renewal rituals, the Shinjaku offer magical soul fragments or energy sacrifices. These are often gained through mental discipline or emotional suffering, and are given up in the form of a ritual offering to appease the spirits and ensure the family’s bond with Daikon remains strong.
Magical Relics: In certain years, Daikon demands the destruction of magical relics or sacred artifacts accumulated by the family. These relics are burned in dark ceremonies to release their magical energy, renewing the pact with the Oni.
The Blood Moon Ceremony: Once a year, when the Blood Moon rises, the Shinjaku must once again renew their pact with Daikon. This ceremony is not voluntary but an obligatory act. In the dead of night, all Shinjaku wear their black masks and perform a dark ritual to maintain the balance between the spirit world and the living. It is not an act of power; it is a compulsion to keep Daikon from claiming them.
