@Clite of Dragonbow Where's Shirage now?
By the way, if anyone is expecting Mystery Eater to be the noisy, edgy, weird, obviously fucked-in-the-head psychopath stereotype you see in movies, that's not how I intend to RP him. He's actually closer to a real-life psychopath, the boring kind, the one who doesn't think he's doing anything wrong and is actually able to justify his actions quite well. You could call this manipulation if you wanted to, but he genuinely believes the things he says and is a surprisingly honest demon. He sort of sees himself as a father figure who wants to guide demons onto the right path. That's just a clarification; I think the personality section in his bio gives you enough to go off of. I'm only making it because as I was reading over the discussion it seems that everyone expects him to be some scary, obviously evil dude.
Also, I've refined my old idea of Ren and Shirage joining the Mystery Eater, with one of them ratting him out. Here's something better: Ren and Shirage could join different branches of the Mystery Eater's organization. I can see Shirage joining the Gravediggers, the branch that digs up the graves of the recently deceased leaving no visible signs of disturbance and devours the bodies; they're actually officially employed as the groundskeepers of the cemetery, but no one knows that they're demons. As part of their secondary duties, they sell imported drugs in the streets of wherever they're currently based to increase the mortality rate and keep up the steady supply of food. The money from their sales and grounds-keeping jobs gets sent to the Mystery Eater so he can keep running his organization and bribe human politicians, if needed.
As for Ren, I can see him joining the Suicide Squad. Up in the forests and mountains of towns across Japan, there are distinctive stone idols where suicidal people leave an offering, which the demons use to track them down and discreetly kill them in their sleep. The people who come here cannot bring themselves to do it and wish to go quietly, so the Squad is a specialized force of demons that has honed the art of killing while making it look like a suicide. The people usually leave behind suicide notes in their bedrooms, but the demons will forge one in case they didn't. So despite the fact that the body disappears and is devoured, nobody suspects a thing. The stone idols are more of an urban legend; the deaths are believed to have been carried out by the victims rather than a third party. They likely wrote down their last words and drowned themselves somewhere. The bodies just haven't been found, or so the story goes. As part of their secondary duties, members of the Suicide Squad are master sculptors, who secretly made the stone idols in the mountains and sell their other figures as souvenirs in shops. The Mystery Eater has provided them a scheme that secures them a steady supply of food, so in exchange, they send him the earnings they get from their day jobs.
Those two are some of the tamer sides of the Mystery Eater's operation. The different arms of his organization (I think I have six so far...) are led by Branch Leaders, whose strength varies depending on the division they lead.
In the meantime, I'll be making a string of Pearlan posts, but here's where I see the RP going from here. Sen comes in and steals Kit's kill at the last second, Kit gets pissed off and doesn't leave Sen alone, Sen heads up to the mountains in an attempt to lose him, but he stops at a cave when he realizes this is futile and proposes that whoever can reach the end of it first is the better demon slayer, offering Kit the chance to heal his wounded pride and leave Sen alone. But when they go through with it, Sen realizes that he's actually pretty strong and wouldn't be a bad ally... in his own condescending, unimpressed way, that is. Also meets Ren.
What do you all think?

Hehe... which one of them is monotonous? Miyaji was like, "Eh, who cares." Not the slightest reaction. I can see him being a cold, emotionless killer just like Samui...
Marry her instead, Miyaji. You're soulmates.
