Description
Japanese God of war, Disguises, Archery, Eight banners, literature, divination, peace, honor, culture, agriculture, and Samurai. Hachiman is a tutelary god of Warriors and death. Some believe war is about more than victory, some believe it is how that victory is won.

(That is a mask, not his face)

That a warrior can be honorable, can treat his enemies with respect, that he can retain his humanity. When there is war to be fought, this is the kind of warrior Hachiman teaches.Pregnant with her unborn son, Hachiman, the Empress Jingu led a fierce campaign against the forces that slew her husband. Fearing her child’s birth would slow the army’s advance, she tied bandages about her belly and held him within for 3 years, until the war was done.

Each day, she prayed she would not lose the child, that he would be born strong. That he would be a God. As 8 banners descended from heaven, heralding his birth, her prayers were answered.Hachiman embodies all a warrior should be. Temperate but fearless. Deadly not ruthless. Respectful, to enemies and allies alike. He understands that war cannot be stopped, so he teaches how war should be.

But when Capitalism arrived to Japan, it was starting to change its culture for the worst. The way of the samurai was dead, with most of its ancient culture undone. (Another reason why Capitalism doesn't work).

He is not a big fan of guns, or cannons, because well this is not the way of the warrior.

He found Yahweh to be arrogant because of his monotheistic ideals and his worshippers thinking that Shintoism is false. He wishes that Japan would use Samurai again and have some of its honorable ways back. But he is quite happy that people still honor the old ways and worship his pantheon.

He and the other war god are actually planning to interrupt an extermination on hell.

He likes nifty and somewhat Husk.
