Orochi

Orochi

A yokai with potent poison and exceptional grappling skills with its snake tail. The serpantine cleverness of the yokai and its high intelligence make them great wizards.
Orochi are cold blooded manipulators and schemers. Lacking the compassion and empathy of others. They can relied upon to isolate themselves and creatre intricate plans to enrich and empower themselves. However when placed in an incenttive structure that pushes them to behave pro-socially, like a long term market context, they will typcically behave in a way that benefits others, merely because doing so benefits themselves in the long run as well.
