Hi, this handsome old boy came to me from one of my many world dreams. I was a guardian deity protecting sanctity of a hotsprings bathhouse when i adopted a "pure" yokai as an apprentice and son. He was "pure" in the sense of haven't done evil to disrupt his yin/yang or otherwise karma balance and inner energies that was otherwise a yokai's lifeblood and powers. Although he did consume a dying criminal's soul in order to gain a human body for his survival.
After sharing my guardian energies, he was now a hybrid yokai guardian while also gaining hybrid dragon and tiger nature. Being a hybrid guardian yogai, he no longer needs to feed on the energies of others to survive or stealing it from stray offerings. Being that he still has a human appearance for those not attune to mystic, spiritual, or religious energies; he can aid others as a wandering priest to gain prayer energy used for miracles or sustenance.

He is still fairly shy and his favorite thing to say is "why are you like this, sensei?" because my vice was lust that i indulged on from time to time. He has no specific focus spiritual wise or elemental affinity.
