Oboro

Oboro is one of the primary returning antagonists in the Taimanin Asagi visual novel series visual novels.

She is the arch enemy of Asagi, leader of the ONT, subordinates to Edwin Black, executive of Nomad and master of the first Chaos Arena. "Oboro" is the revived body of the Taimanin, Koukawa Oboro that has been demonized but is missing her original soul having gained a demonic one. After TA1 she has been revived once more as a vampire.

Personality
Oboro is a criminal psychopath, lacking empathy and gets sadistic joy humiliating others. She is arrogant, vindictive and gets very unhinged violent if things don't go her way.

She forms short term alliances with promises, that she will break later on for her own selfish gain. Oboro gains extreme satisfaction and pleasure for causing other people humiliation and pain, making her act like a sadistic dominatrix.

Her devotion and love for Edwin Black is only topped by her extreme hate for Asagi, which at times will result in her disobeying orders just to hurt Asagi more.

She is not self-aware enough to understand why her employees sometimes leave, that find her evil and torture, overkill. Though uncharactaristic she seems to find some normal joy, in taking care of a stray cat. Though she does not show it directly she has also a soft spot for slum children. Possibly because of lingering memories of the soul, that was used to revive her.

Appearance
Oboro has pink/violet short hair with a bob head cut. She has smaller to medium breasts. She has red lips and violet/purple eyes.

History
Koukawa Oboro lost her body in a fight with Black many years ago, saving herself with her soul/mind transfer ability, but left her body behind.

Edwin Black took her body and gave it to Fulst to revive and brainwash her "body" with hell technology. Implanting a demonic soul and false memory in her, she was also given a new Ninja Art as the soul transfer ability did not carry over. That "body" now hates Asagi and is loyal only to Black and Nomad. Establishing the Oboro Ninja Troops under Nomad and murdering other Taimanin, she was "killed" 3 years before the events of TA1 by Asagi. However, Black is able to revive the body once again. Fusing with Asagi's boyfriends body, acts as the master of the Chaos Arena captures Asagi and her sister forcing them to fight, but is ultimately killed again by Asagi.

Her body is turned into samples and some of them end in the hands of Ryuumon, who later clones her. However, Edwin Black revives the original body of her in Taimanin Asagi 2, now as a vampire. That Oboro kills her clone and takes her place in Nomad once more.

Oboro encounters Koukawa Asuka 2 years before Taimanin Asagi 3, Asuka having lost a fight and her limbs to Black. Ordered to kill Asuka, Oboro doesn't hesitate but is stopped by her real "soul", a masked Koukawa Oboro in another body. *(trivia)

Capturing and trying Asagi once more in Taimanin Asagi 3, Oboro is killed one last time by Asuka, that uses Ishiyama Takuto as a living bomb, blowing her up. (TBA)"Demonic Soul"Her demonic soul came from a street girl in Yomihara. The unamed girl was half beaten to death and seemed to have been viewed as useless for criminals, laying in a back alley. The Corpse Lord arrived shortly after in armor, promising her peace and absorbed her body. The Lord of the Dead would then give the girls soul to Fulst which secretly worked together with him. As stated before that soul was then implanted into the corpse of Koukawa Oboro.

Timeline TABA
Oboro is still alive and a vampire in that timeline, she at times works together with the Fuuma Organization while not fully disclosing this to Nomad. As it fits her own personal interests, she tends to never pay Fuuma Kotaro for any jobs. They come into conflict a few times.

Timeline RPGX
Oboro is still alive and maybe is a vampire in that timeline, she is encountered in some events. She also adopted a stray cat "Obo Cat", which she takes care of.

Backstory of her soul is given. She helps in financing a small theater show for slum children. However, when Selvia Rosemary that holds the show is attacked by Wraiths she saves her live. However, it put into check by Wight, which is able to control her soul. Oboro claiming she needed to save Selvia to save face and protect her cover, as if she let stuff like this happen on her turf, Ingrid could suspect something.

Timeline Action

As the Taimanin learned of the connection to the Venam Liberation Armed Forces to Toyo, Oboro killed the Japanese brench and local leader Nguyen Van Dan, to hinder Taimanin investigation. She was captured by Fuuma Kotaro and the Taimanin Task Force but was able to escape days after this, while CD Virus Zombie's were active in Gosha Academy.
