hashira verse hcs !
inei took up demon slaying due to a bloodlust that he couldn’t contain, and fighting demons was a way to suffice this anger rather than killing humans
he killed his father after his mother died, and fled, leaving both of them to look as if they’d died from disease
he was aware that no one knew that the couple had a child, and he took advantage of that and spent his time practicing his swordsmanship with sticks in the woods
he formed a offset of the mist breathing practice, rightly named dream breathing. his sword skills are rather rough, but his ability to seemingly hypnotize and confuse demons helps him land better blows.
he’s still as manipulative and egotistical as ever, and absolutely worships the ground ubuyashiki walks on.
he subsequently caused the death of a few slayers during final selection, but made it look like a mere demon attack. he never ended up regretting this, because it got him exactly where he wanted to be.
he doesn’t really hold an ounce of understanding for most emotions, and simply shows what he feels like he needs to. this eventually changes when he starts to better understand his emotions, but in the beginning, it’s rough for him.
he feels like he deserves to be a high - ranked hashira, because he was so let down in his life that he feels like God / the Gods owe him something.
he still feels as if he’s a healer, but rather one that heals demons of the ailment of lacking humanity, but he also thinks the offer to become a demon is an incredibly tempting one.
