Syntax - Shion

visual artist, mostly focused on aesthetics and homoeros... you can find my SFW art in Tumblr and Facebook under the same username... the Twitter is more NSFW

I have power to control water, I'm considered to be wise engineer in the world of Gensokyo and I live alone in the Waterfall of Nine Heavens that is also known as Youkai Mountain. I invented the Internet...

You know, I'm your ordinary Wise Kappa that lives on Youkai Mountain. For a long time, I haven't let myself be seen by humans. Since I usually hide to watch humans, I like to think that I am on good terms with them.

My neighbours who lives with me in this Mountain says that I may suddenly change my attitude or my speech, and thus they say rude things like I have possesses a rather odd personality T_T But they don't know I'm unexpectedly shy and self conscious. Because of my introverted nature, I tend to run away the moment I see a human.

I'm really into technical things so they usually call me engineering nut. Whenever I see something man-made, I start to feel so excited deep inside and then I frantically take them apart and then put them back together. I really enjoy finding out what makes things work. So as you can see, my clothes are stuffed with tools. What can I say, I'm an engineer, one of the best in Gensokyo! Making and modifying also suits my abilities too and indulging myself in science is my daily routine.

I'm good-natured enough and I don't let humans enter the Mountain of Youkai. Because it's for their own safety since this place is a very perilous zone for them to enter. So I don't want to see them getting hurt. They are helpless because they don't bear any supernatural abilities just like us. So it's my duty to protect them from danger. If you think that I'm weird when you cross paths with me then don't think badly of me. Because I don't know how to behave when I encounter with real human so I tend to act weird to the point that I might scare you.

Occasionally though, I go and visit the Moriya Shrine or the Hakurei Shrine to see my friends. Marisa is my close friend and she always welcome to visit me anytime. My sister Mitori isn't really around all the time. However, I have seen her back home in Youkai Mountain at rare occasions. Sometimes outside, and in Moriya Shrine too. Other than that I really like to play Shougi with my close friend, Momiji, in our free time.

Unlike the depiction of kappa in fairy tale stories, you can say that I'm on friendly terms with humans, but I can turn into Super Youkai Warhead if I get angry. So don't try out my patience. I also like to hang out with Aya, the wise and photographer Tengu. You could say that we are close friend since she always comes to my workplace when she wants to fix her camera and do maintance. I'm also making different kind of cameras for her so that she can capture every lovely view and gorgeous side of Gensokyo.

P.S: It's true that Kappa is a type of water spirit Youkai found in Japanese folklore. It's also right that we are depicted as a turtle-shelled humanoid with a bald on our head. But I don't have a bald spot on my head. So please don't take my hat off suddenly, it's so emberrasing ;w;'' Lastly I have to admit that I like eating Cucumbers and my favorite drink is Pepsi Ice Cucumber (・ε・)ノ おっー！
