History

Creation
Rig was created by Hijunaki. He was created with a good majority of knowledge, though he still is really a child. Just not a human child.

Capture, Enslavement, and Escape
A short time after Rig's creation he was captured. He was then given to Tamui as a slave. He hunted for Tamui's people as well as being Tamui's personal servant. Rig falls in love with Sajoki (Tamui's lover) and they start a sexual relationship. This leads to Rig killing Sajoki and Tamui. Then he leaves the camp.

First Mission and Incident with Akumie
Rig's first mission was to find and kill Katashi. Instead, Rig ends up trying to save him but fails. In Katashi's memory, Rig takes Katashi's name and adds it onto his own. Hijunaki, however, takes Rig to his Palace. Rig (due to what he was taught by Katashi) decides to use Akumie (a weather goddess) as a sexual trophy. He does have sex with Akumie but she ultimately leaves and is angry at him.

Losing Hijunaki's Favor
Rig goes on a mission with Jirou to find, and return Yamaka, to Hijunaki. This didn't work due to Yamaka being killed by something before they could get to her. Even after thousands of years Rig still doesn't have Hijunaki's favor.

Time With Yomosa
Hijunaki assigns Rig (with Jirou's help) to get Yomosa. Rig successfully brings Yomosa to Hijunaki's Palace. He is devastated when he is ordered to kill Yomosa. He decides, instead, to battle Hijunaki to the death so that Yomosa can live. He debates fighting Hijunaki and decides it was his fault what is happening to Yomosa. They have sex before he fights Hijunaki. He manages to kill Hijunaki. Afterwards he admits his feelings to Yomosa (but not to her) and she has the same feelings for him.

Time With Yomosa After Killing Hijunaki
Is traveling with Yomosa. They end up staying in a farming village. Waking up, Yomosa asks why Rig keeps her around. He loves her but doesn't say so. After breakfast they do a play fight. At the end of this she ends up in his arms. Gets up and walks around one night because he thinks he's being followed by Akumie. He works on the farm and someone looks at him oddly. He tells Yomosa but she doesn't think anything's wrong. When they go back to their room they find it trashed. Rig finds out from an Air Elemental that they have to leave Japan to save themselves. When Yomosa wakes up he tells her this and finally admits that he loves her. They leave the village with the end goal of leaving Japan.

When Rig and Yomosa are close to a harbor they are ambushed by Jirou. He thinks his old friend is going to attack him but Jirou says he just wants to eat Yomosa. Yomosa ends up offering Jirou fresh wolf meat. After Jirou finishes the meat, Rig goes and tells his old friend about his current situation. Jirou then tells Rig and Yomosa about where a closer harbor is. Rig parts ways with Jirou and goes to the harbor with Yomosa. When they are close Rig races Yomosa to the harbor. Before they can get there they are confronted by an Eastern Dragon. Yomosa fights the Eastern before Rig is able to break free from the magical bonds the dragon had held him down with. Rig then promptly kills the Eastern.

Rig comforts Yomosa after killing Eastern. He warns her of the dangers of traveling with him, but she decides to stay with him anyways. After Rig can't find a ship for him and Yomosa to travel on, he turns into an Eastern Dragon and has Yomosa ride him.

Relationships

Rig Katashi and Katashi
Katashi and Rig form a bond in a very short amount of time. Katashi teaches Rig about his philosophy of "no love, only sex" which Rig takes to heart. After Katashi's death, Rig adds Katashi's name onto his own. Some of Rig's early mistakes can be linked to Katashi.

Rig Katashi and Hijunaki
Rig doesn't like Hijunaki as he doesn't like to be restrained. Ever since Rig's creation, he has been at odds with Hijunaki. He finally kills him.

Rig Katashi and Akumie
Rig, at first, started a relationship with Akumie merely for having sex with a goddess. He starts to develop feelings for her but the purely physical (aka sexual) aspects always one out. When Akumie left Rig still didn't know how he felt about her.

Rig Katashi and Jirou
Rig at first started a friendship with Jirou because he was a good sparring buddy. Then he kept the friendship because Jirou became his only friend. Rig was said to leave Jirou behind and misses him dearly.

Rig Katashi and Sajoki
Rig loved Sajoki. But as Sajoki was his first love he didn't realize that she didn't love him. He ended up killing him because he felt she had betrayed him. Still, thousands of years after her murder, he still mourns for her.

Rig Katashi and Tamui
Rig always hated Tamui. Rig never regretted killing him.

Rig Katashi and Yomosa
Rig is entranced with Yomosa's defiance. Right before fighting Hijunaki he admits, to himself, that he loves her. Afterwards they become a couple. He finally admits that he loves her (to her) when Rig is told that he must leave Japan.
