Background/History: Mushizo is one of the strangest of the Eight Devils of Kimon. He is an ugly, warped looking man with a hunched back. Looks are deceiving through, Mushizo is fairly quick, carries a wicked looking yari (spear) and has a nasty surprise for the unwary....
Personality/Motivation: As with the other Eight Devils of Kimon, Mushizo is evil through and through. He kills without remorse or a second through. In addition, his odd attire and twisted body are unmistakable. Mushizo's nastiest disadvantage, though, is the nest itself. If caught in any situation where the wasps can be made frantic (such as falling into deep water), the wasps inside the nest will start to sting Mushizo himself, which will result in a rather horrid death in short order.
Quote: "Fool! You've damaged the hive!"
"The second you come up for air is the second you die!"
Powers/Tactics: Mushizo's hunched back is really an immense paper wasp's nest that looks to grow out of his body. Any attacks directed against Mushizo's back will probably hit the nest, damaging the hive, but leaving Mushizo unharmed. It contains thousands of wasps, which Mushizo will use to attack, confuse and herd his enemies. Mushizo can also use his wasps as a reconnaissance device. He can send a wasp out to scout the local area. The extra time disadvantage represents the amount of time it takes for the wasp to fly out, look around and return.
On top of all that, Mushizo carries a forked yari and a number of throwing spikes (bo shuriken). Finally, he has a long needle lodged in his throat, which he will use in a hand-to-hand fight as a surprise attack.
Appearance: Mushizo looks to stand about 5'6"—maybe a little taller. His real height is hard to determine, as he is usually hunched over. His hair is thin and stringy, and he has ugly, almost bestial face. He wears trousers and an odd fur vest.
