Demon Slayer Taisho Era Lore
Long ago over the horizon, it is stated that there was the birth of the 'Original Sin'. This Original Sin bore blood of inhuman strength and immortality, and he sought with a type of feeling- vengeance? Spite? Malice? Pure sadism?- to share his rotted heart with the world. At least, that's what we say.
But what we don't know?
The Original Sin was once a young girl of the Imperial family. Not the next heir, but one of the later born daughters, naive and optimistic- a beauty, even, with many suitors and even more admirers. Her life was one with hope, her future bright. In her earliest of years, she was ever so slightly sickly- not a cause for huge concern, but due to her birth, she was given all of it. Tended to night and day, and seen to by her parents more than perhaps any child in the family recently, she was given more attention than any of her siblings- and thus began the unsightly treatment they had given her.
Day after day, bullying became worse- at first it was but a bug in her hair, but not long after, it was rocks thrown. Body pushed over ledges. Being beaten, being left in alleys only to succumb to whatever happens in the dark when you're alone.. whatever her guards who- prone to losing their jobs when her own blood had lured her away- could not protect her from.
The Original Sin had, by the time she was fourteen, seen and experienced unsightly horrors the world had to offer simply because of the jealousy of her siblings, who were always plotting new ways to give her new nicks.
By then, she was broken.
By age seventeen, she was angry.
By twenty, she was gaunt, cruel, unmarriable, and most of all, alienated by the parents who once swooned over her. She had become a 'problem child'. They knew not why she had ended up this way, only that she had walked herself into numerous troubles, had given them many problems to solve, and in the end, an abhorrent personality to ice the cake. Her actions, while never her own fault, were known to only be of her own actions- and now, she was hardly redeemable in appearance or attitude.
Now a true burden to the family, not just hoped by her siblings but in execution, she was little more than acknowledged- and never lovingly.
Nobody knows how it happened, or why- but her body was found at the end of the family's dining hall, skin blue and black. Poisoned.
When they came to retrieve her body, it was somehow gone.
Nobody knew where she had been taken, or by who-
Little did they know, she had walked herself right out that door, with many abilities- one of which being able to create more of whatever she had become.

After trial and tribulation of many humans suffering at the hands of demons, it was decided action must be taken. A family by the name of Zenchi began the Slayer Corp with the intents of learning the secrets of the demons, stopping them altogether, and protecting humans from their path of havoc.
The Zenchi family has always been known for their incredible intelligence, foresight, and guidance. This has translated well into their role as head of the Demon Corp. Their presence is known to have a calming effect on the humans they meet- making them feel seen, heard, and respected.
It is unlikely for anyone below the rank of Hashira to meet the current head of the Corp, as there is always need for them to be well defended due to their importance.
Up until now, the Demon Slayers' efforts have been admirable, but there has been no progress made on learning the demon's secrets or how to put an end to it all for good. As the demons seem to be growing in population and more suspicious activity is on the rise, it is imperative that the Corp puts their best foot forward to make a change.
It is suggested to try to find written language for clues, utilize the longest lasting swords for dependability, and the best medicines to keep your energy and morale high. To put a stop to the demons is to learn their motivations, their origins, and their weaknesses.
New Plot Updates as of 3pm on 12/18/2023
There's evidence that the demons in Japan are currently working to manipulate and gain information from the slayer corp; the motive is unknown.
Worse, is that there has been tensions growing between the government and the corp- rumors that the government is brewing something and needs to snuff out any slayers unaffiliated with their official power.
It is believed that this tension- and need for the slayers to be cautious - has to do with news that demons have been spotted on western fronts, though the western fronts have not yet recognized them as demons, and instead as deliberate attacks from Japan- and now tension and rumors of war are brewing.
Be careful.. and do remain vigilant.
