Ichimoku Cultist

To encounter an Ichimoku cultist is to face the embodiment of humanity’s darkest impulses. Their eyes gleam with a predatory hunger, reflecting their unending craving for more. Whispers follow them like a dark cloud, planting doubts and resentments in those they meet. Those who fall under their spell often find themselves ensnared in webs of deceit and treachery, their lives unraveling as the cultist climbs ever higher. Tales abound of villages torn asunder by envy and betrayal, all traced back to a single figure clad in shadow, murmuring the promises of Ichimoku.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

Ichimoku cultists rarely establish permanent settlements, preferring to operate from hidden enclaves, crumbling ruins, or shadowed forests where they can avoid prying eyes. They thrive in areas of social tension, such as divided cities or borderlands between warring factions, where envy and discord can easily take root. These environments provide fertile ground for recruitment, as they prey on the downtrodden, disillusioned, and envious. Their sanctuaries are adorned with opulent but unsettling symbols of Ichimoku's twisted ideals—mirrors framed with jagged metal, trophies stolen from enemies, and cauldrons filled with acrid, bubbling brews used in their rites.

Behaviour

Ichimoku cultists are driven by a single-minded obsession to fulfill their deity's edicts: sow envy and claim what they believe they are owed. They infiltrate communities with subtle manipulation, fanning the flames of jealousy and resentment among the populace. Despite their outward calm, they are highly volatile, lashing out with vindictive rage if challenged or thwarted. Cultists often employ underhanded tactics, including blackmail, theft, and sabotage, to weaken their foes and ascend to positions of power. In battle, they use poison-laced weapons, illusions, and beguiling charms, reveling in the despair of their enemies as they fall.
