Profile
Kumazaki Nori is the exiled emperor of Norian Empire.

Early days
Approximately 1800 years ago, Prince Nori fought in a civil war when he was a captain of city guards. During a fighting retreat to cover a routed main detachment, the prince's right eye socket was pierced by a cursed thrown spear and he succumbed to the injury. It took him another 100 years to manifest his new body into mortal world. The trauma was carried to his new reincarnated body, causing the prince's future bodies to suffer from constant astigmatism.

For the following 1600 years, Prince Nori reincarnated into different bodies and continued his journey in reuniting a shattered Norian Empire.

When he finally succeeded, he was betrayed and struck by a magical lighting that casted by his court magicians during his crowning ceremony, breaking his soul into two separate pieces and banished into the Otherwise World.

The Adventure of Otherwise World
One piece of the soul had landed at the southeastern region of Otherwise World and manifested into a male body without full memory of his past lives. He had wandered at that region for almost a hundred years, learning the local languages and culture while he looked for his other missing piece of soul.

During his 100 years of adventure, he travelled with his new friends, Aizz The Sorcerer, Ness The Magician, Zeffy The Priest, Tensou The Knight and Torte The Occultist. He was given a new name "LeBear" due to his habit of constantly greeting people in "Bonjour !" (The first local word he learnt from a random French traveller) and has the capability of transforming into a black bear, dancing around and entertain others.

The current streaming entity is the male piece of the broken soul landed on Otherwise World while the female piece of broken soul had landed somewhere on the world and went missing.

Emperor Nori is a man of few words. He seldom speak much, especially in English as he consider himself to be rusty in that language. His real personality is yet to be uncovered.
