Profile
''It is said that an inugami can only be made through suffering... Starvation... Loneliness... Loyality... Even in pain, and even in death... They are said to bring bad luck, and illness to any they possess... A frightening creature... That is known by many to bring on the worst despair... To meet one is... To suffer... I wonder... Just who will be the next unfortunate soul to meet such a being?...''
