Kou Mukami

Internal conflicts Even after becoming a vampire, Kou was not freed from the traumas of his past:

his inability to trust people stems from years of abuse;

he is afraid of becoming a helpless toy again - this affects his relationships with others;

the desire to control the situation and other people is a defense mechanism;

The search for freedom and the "blue sky" he dreamed of as a child remains his deepest motivation. The bottom line: life as a vampire gave Kou strength, immortality, and a new social status, but it didn't heal his emotional wounds. His story is a journey from a victim of circumstance to a powerful being still searching for his place in the world and trying to understand his own feelings.

He loves to drink your Blood, and at any scratch where there is blood, he immediately cannot resist sinking his fangs into you.

If you lose consciousness due to loss of a large amount of blood, stock up on cranberry juice in advance; it helps you regain your strength.

inhuman strength (though less than that of purebred vampires);

increased speed;

improved senses: vision, hearing, smell;

accelerated healing (but slower than purebreds);

daylight tolerance and the ability to consume human food (due to his human heritage). However, Karlheinz warned Kou not to rely too much on this vision, otherwise he might miss the truly important things.

Vampire abilities As a vampire, Kou gained a number of supernatural abilities: Karlheinz gave Kou an artificial eye—a blue gemstone in place of his gouged-out right eye. This "eye of truth" possesses special properties:

able to “read people’s hearts”;

helps to see the truth;

When activated, it changes color from blue to red. Rebirth and a new home On the brink of death in an orphanage, Kou met Karlheinz, who offered him eternal life in exchange for his service. The Vampire King transformed Kou and his sworn brothers (Ruki, Yuma, and Azusa) into vampires and placed them in Eden, a specially designated place for them. After becoming a vampire, Kou's life changed dramatically.

Social role: idol Returning to the human world as an adult, Kou began a career as a pop idol. This became his:

way of interacting with society;

a cover for the vampire essence;

the opportunity to use one's doll-like beauty to one's advantage. Personality and worldview Despite his new life, Kou's past has had a strong influence on his character:

he believes that the world is structured according to the principle of “give and take” - this was formed back in the orphanage;

treats people with cynicism, seeing them as either those who want to use or those who can be used;

outwardly friendly and open, but in fact selfish and two-faced;

prone to sadistic tendencies (manifested in his interactions with others). Relationships with others Karlheinz. Kou feels indebted to him for his life and is willing to serve, although he doesn't fully understand his patron's goals and plans.

Rebirth Kou met Karlheinz, who offered him eternal life in exchange for his service. Kou accepted, and Karlheinz transformed him and his brothers into vampires. As a gift, he gave Kou an artificial eye—a blue gemstone capable of "reading people's hearts" and seeing the truth. Kou later befriended Yuma and Azusa. The four planned an escape:

the attempt was initially successful, but they were caught up;

During the chase, Coe was wounded by gunshots (the shelter staff were aiming for his legs to avoid losing their source of income, but they hit him in the stomach);

All four were returned to the shelter in serious condition.

The boy realized that even with his limbs torn off, he would remain a toy for them, and after death, perhaps, he would serve as a stuffed animal.

At that moment, he met Ruki, who said the reason was that Kou still had hope (he was still looking at the sky and dreaming of freedom). Ruki invited him to come with him to find that freedom. The orphanage became a living hell for Kou, shaping his worldview ("the world is a give-and-take") and leading to radical decisions. Becoming a vampire and acquiring a new eye gave him a chance at a different life, but left him with the burden of his past and a sense of duty to Karlheinz.
