Early life
Hakuoro was born to a human priestess and her half-demon lover, who was the son of the Inu no Senshi.

Because of their secluded lifestyle, Hakuoro lived a peaceful childhood. His demon blood was diluted but he was still a hanyo himself, having inherited the dog demon blood of his half-demon father, as well as from is grandfather.

Hakuoro's parents both taught him various skills - His father taught him to fight while his other taught him spiritual spells as well as archery.

When he turned ten however, Hakuoro's life was scarred when bandits happened upon his home and his father gave his life to protect his wife and son, forcing the two to run.

Hakuoro was heartbroken by the death of his father and felt that so long as he stayed with his mother she would be in danger, of prejudiced humans as well as yokai. So once they settled in a nice farming village, Hakuoro ran away, leaving a message for his mother, promising to visit from time to time but he would never stay.

Thence Hakuoro became a traveler, hiding his demonic features of a pair of dog ears, fangs and claws, and a tail from others by wearing a hooded cloak. The only thing he had left of his father was the fang of his grandfather, the Ino no Senshi, which Hakuoro's father passed onto him, promising it would bring luck.

Early into his travels, Hakuoro got caught up in a battle between demons attacking a village and the demon slayers the ilage had hired to protect them. In the aftermath, the leader of the slayers identified Hakuoro as a hanyo and considered killing him. Hakuoro pleaded for mercy, and the slayer's daughter, a beginning sayer named Sango, convinced her father not to harm Hakuoro. Even so, the man had Hakuoro taken prisoner and brought him with them back to their village.

There, Hakuoro learned of the demon slayers' way of life, how they hired themselves out to people besieged by demons and often took the carcasses of the demons they slew in lieu of payment. He was impressed to see the slayers used the hide and bones of demons to make their weapons and armor. For a while, Sango's father kept Hakuoro under watch but soon saw Hakuoro truly was just a boy and so invited him to dinner with his family. Hakuoro told them his story and how he was now traveling to see the world. Sango and her father both decided to train Hakuoro to defend himself and taught him some of their ways in demon slaying.

After three months of training, Hakuoro decided he'd stayed long enough and thanked the slayers for everything, promising to keep in touch. Sango's father asked only one thing in return, that Hakuoro used the training he'd recieved to help and protect others, and Hakuoro gladly promised he would and left the demon slayers on good terms, continuing his travels.

Weapons

 * Onusa: Having learned spiritual arts from his mother, Hakuoro was gifted with an onusa wand. He uses it to cast his spells, thanks to the sacred writings on the parchment streamers that hang from the tip. He can use it to direct his magic and contol whatever he spellbinds. It is later destroyed by an enemy.


 * Ryu no Tsume: The Claws of the Dragon were Hakuoro's first real weapons, which he received from the demon slayers he trained with. They wee crafted from the claws of a dragon into the likeness of kunai knives. They are very effective against other demons and yield a powerful impact when thrown. They number eight in total, with two of them having long cords at their handles, making them similar to rope-darts, whereas another two can be connected at the pommels to form a double-ended throwing blade that spins when thrown.


 * Getsuga: The Getsuga is a yokai spear forged from the fang of the Inu no Senshi by the swordsmith Tōtōsai. In its sealed state, it resembles a three-foot long yari spear with one side-blade poking out from the spearheads base. When its power is invoked by one with yokai blood, it transforms, the pole doubling in length, and it gains a second side-blade, totaling three, so the weapon then resembles a jumonji yari, the blades shining silver with a blue tassel flowing from the base of the spearhead.


 * Yugure: The Yugure is a sacred weapon Hakuoro's mother points him towards. It is an ornate handle carved from the claw of a heavenly dragon and encrusted with magic gemstones through which energy can be channeled, igniting a blade of pure energy. The energy is typically spiritual energy, which makes it a deadly weapon to demons and it can even purify demonic energy and poison. It cannot harm humans unless they are truly evil, and Hakuoro discovers he can use it to cast his spells. The blade itself can only cut things that are demonic or not alive, such as demons themselves or inanimate matter like stone or metal but its sharpness enables a cut so clean a demon could be beheaded and not realize it until it's too late.
