Tsuki Yomi (Intermediate God)
Tsuki Yomi was born when Izanagi washed his right eye after returning from the Land of the Dead. He is the god of the moon, whose function it is to count the passing of the months. In China, a hare is often shown in the moon, and this sign has been incorporated into Tsuki-Yomi’s symbol, along with a pun. In Japanese, Mochi-zuki means two things: the full moon, and to pound rice for cakes.
Therefore, Tsuki-Vomi’s symbol is a hare in the moon, pounding rice for cakes. As the counter of the months, Tsuki-Yomi has the power to control time, making it pass more slowly in one place than in another, stopping it altogether, or speeding it up. He also has the power to light the darkness. In his true form, Tsuki-Yomi
is a handsome man.
Roleplaying Tips
Tsuki-Yomi’s primary concern is the orderly progression of time, so that seasons change and crops mature properly. He is generally benevolent to those who rely upon and respect the cycle of nature. If his aid is requested in defending a just, established social order, there is a 5% chance that he will answer by sending his avatar. When sending omens, Tsuki-Yomi sometimes manifests the handsome blue face of his avatar in an expensive mirror.
