Eiji Ogawa

Pre-Pantheon

 * Born on January twentieth in Tokyo, Japan, Eiji was raised mostly by his uncle, who owned a jewelry store on the south end of the city. His parents had died a few years earlier, both deaths ruled as accidents, though the details were never revealed to the public. He studied as his uncle's apprentice, learning all he could about gems, metals, pearls, and how to tell if they were real or fake so as not to be taken for a fool. He took to it quickly, proving to be a valuable asset to the business and the family. He did this when he was not in school until the age of fourteen, when he was invited to a school called the Pantheon Academy. With the approval of his uncle, he packed his things and left, wondering what this opportunity would afford him.


 * After arriving at the school, he was soon made comfortable and told that he was no ordinary child. He had been given the abilities of the Japanese ruler of the Underworld, Emma-O (better known as Yama or Enma). This explained everything.. why he hadn't felt 'normal' like the other children, why nearly everyone he came into contact with either died or were 'given' better lives, why he had always been drawn to any and all myths concerning Enma-sama. Right away, he did all he needed to do to become part of this interesting and befitting new place, no matter the cost. He was determined to become a person worthy of the Death God's gift.

School Life

 * Lost in Translation

Powers

 * Necromancy
 * As the Japanese version of Hades, he accepts the souls of men (while his sister accepts the souls of women) and has them transported to one of sixteen realms of fire or ice. They are kept there for a period of time (determined by him) until the person is reborn. The only exception to the punishment is if the soul is "saved" by the prayers of the living. If that happens, the soul is then reborn either on earth or in paradise.
