Mori SouikenWP (森 宗意軒?) is a historical figure from Japan's Edo Period.
Profile
Background
Mori Souiken was one of the leaders of the Shimabara Rebellion. He was a close confidant to Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.[1] He studied Magecraft in China. While traveling China he learned, and sometimes stole, all manner of secret knowledge.[1] Before the rebellion Shirou was revered for doing miracles because of his innate talent for Magecraft, and Mori kept rumors about him from spreading too far so that the Mage's Association wouldn't interfere.[2] Mori taught Chiemon Magecraft and created the homunculus Yui Shousetsu using Einzbern techniques.[3][1] He died in the Shimabara Rebellion.[4]
Appearance
Personality
Souiken was an idealist, and Yui inherited his ideals.[3] On the other hand, Okita Souji compares him negatively to Paracelsus, calling both immoral beasts that tell haughty moral tales.[5]
Mori Souiken believed himself to be motivated by the pursuit of perfection. He poured all of his knowledge, ability, and countless hours of study into the creation of something that could realize his ideals. He perpetrated sin, evil, and bloodshed all for the sake of his ambitions.[1]
Souiken believed in God's love and dreamed of a peaceful world, but he was also insane. He sought the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, a pure and unsullied land home to only the virtuous. He created Shousetsu as a sincere being who was designed to perfectly embody the people who deserved to live in God's kingdom; in other words, a new humanity to replace the current humanity. He intended to have Shousetsu be replicated without limit to fill the world with that ideal, and kill everyone else, who he saw as broken and twisted. This was his vision of an eternally pure and perfect paradise.[6]
