CHARACTER FILE: SUBARU
1. CLAMP BACKGROUND:
In "Tokyo Babylon", Subaru Sumeragi is the head of the mystically
powerful Sumeragi Clan, and is an Onmyoujitsu (a sorcerer/exorcist). He
is also the last of his family line, since his mother and father had
both died when he was younger, and his twin sister, Hokuto Sumeragi,
had been murderered by his one-time friend and love-interest, Seishirou
Sakurazuka (the Sakurazukamori). Betrayed, guilt-laiden and feeling
used, Subaru has channelled all of his endless kindness and compassion
into anger and hatred for Seishirou - which has made him strangely
disinterested in the rest of the world.=20
In "X", he is one of the seven Dragons of Heaven, and his enemy,
Seishirou is a Dragon of Earth. He fights not because he has any real
want to save humanity, but because it gives hima chance to get even
with Seishirou. Hell-bent upon revenge, he will do whatever it takes to
destroy the monster who took everything from him. Love and hate are a
thin line to walk, and Subaru demonstrates this belief constantly.

3. FANFICTION BACKGROUND:
Subaru is the head of the Sumeragi Clan, an Onmyoujitsu, and a Seishi
of Byakko. His twin, older sister, Hokuto, and he were taught their
Clan discipline of sorcery-exorcism from the time of their births
practically, but Hokuto was limited to only a few spells which she
could execute well, while Subaru easily was able to perform almost any
spell imaginable (Hokuto once remarked that it seemed that her little
brother had inherited most of the mystical genes in their family, while
she had inherited the good looks!). However, Subaru had the extra
burden of being better than his sister because he was to serve the Miko
of his God, and no one in his family or his community let him forget
that duty.
Life had not been easy for the Sumeragi twins. Their mother had died
during a second childbirth, and the baby had been stillborn Then, their
father had died in a freak accident when the twins were ten years old.
Their strict, and very secretive grandmother took them under her wing,
and cared for them the best she could, continuing to instruct them in
the ways of Onmyouji and denying them the opportunity to have friends.
The twins relied upon each other to fill that roll, which made their
connection even closer than before.
When they had been 16, a stranger arrived in their small town. He
claimed to be a doctor who cared for animals, and stated that he was
looking to set up a practice in the area. His introduced himself as
Seishirou, and said that he was 19 years old, that he was unmarried,
and had no family. Everyone instantly liked the man's good natured
smile, his ease with which he carried himself and his incredibly
handsome face. They began bringing him their business, and a week after
his arrival, even Subaru and Hokuto had given him theirs when their cat
got sick. At their first meeting, the three hit it off remarkably well,
and were instant friends.
Over the course of that year, Seishirou and Subaru became very close,
and the older man even hinted at wanting a romantic relationship with
the boy. However, Subaru was always too shy and embarrassed to consider
initiating it - after all, what would everyone think?!? Hokuto showed
approval, however, and secretly 'encouraged' a romantic liaison to
'accidentally happen' between them one day. This meeting ended up with
Seishirou and Subaru sharing a little more than a passionate kiss that
night. Afterwards, the two never spoke of what happened between them,
but there were frequent repeats of the event over the next few months.
On the one year anniversary of Seishirou's arrival in town, Subaru's
happiness ended.=20
Subaru's twin had found out Seishirou's true nature (as the
Sakurazukamori and a Genbu Seishi) accidentally, and confronrted him
about it. He admitted to everything, and even went as far as to tell
her about the little "bet" that he had made with Subaru. Not wanting
her beloved brother to die (he still had to do his duty as a Byakko
Seishi), Hokuto cast the only powerful spell that she could - to trade
=46ates with any one person. She chose her brother, whom had been fated
to die by Seishirou's hand. So it was that Hokuto was murderered in her
brother's stead by the Sakurazukamori - and Subaru witnessed it all.
Noticing the boy, standing in the doorway, Seishirou turned on him
without mercy, breaking his arm and roughing him up badly. Because
their game had been quite entertaining thus far, Seishirou decided at
that moment to let Subaru live...for a price. Seishirou paralyzed
Subaru with a spell and took the boy's body against his will - but with
gentle, almost loving skill that confused and hurt Subaru's tortured
heart and mind further. During his 'lovemaking', Seishirou painfully
spell-marked Subaru's hands with his symbol - a five-pointed star, and
proclaimed the boy forever his, even unto death.
When he was finished, Seishirou dressed, told Subaru that someday they
would meet again to finish their game, and disappeared in a flurry of
cherry blossoms. Subaru's anger/guilt/betrayal was so great, that he
packed up his few, most important belongings and left the town, and his
grandmother, behind, never to return.=20
That day, he began a new life - one that was hell-bent on revenge
against the man who had destroyed the innocence and the hope within
him...
