#// anyway a reminder that satoru's soul is viewed as a child that is enormously loved

[b0kksu]

   In order to understand Satoru, one has to look at the condition of the Gojo Clan. Note, a lot of these headcanons co-exist with @achroanimus who has acted as his guardian for centuries. The crux of the Six Eyes is reincarnation, an endless life cycle that is constantly looping, it was only severed when one inheritor was murdered in infancy. Does this grant them high social standing? Yes, but the birth of the Six Eyes is viewed as a reunion, many will attest, all are a little different than the last but not without delight / love.

    It was only after the gruesome act of assassination that an inheritor was never to be raised among others, taken care of by a slew of nannies && attendants, this would mean Satoru has no indication of who birthed him or sired him. He is sired by the Gojo Clan's rare anomaly - a son by the name of Itsuki who's namesake is that of a Great Tree. Itsuki is just that, he is the willow with deep roots that upholds the idealogy of the family; they are born of nothing blessed of the heavens, they shall remain modest && devout, Itsuki would serve his role to assure a child of reunion was brought into this world. In modern terms; he is no one, deemed a nothing son, as he is not the inheritor of the Six Eyes but a medic with incredible RCT skills. The great willow tree is known for his aloofness but unfathomable love for the Honored One even if he was denied a chance to properly raise his son. While Satoru is the small serpent who becomes a dragon, Itsuki remains as the roots of the family, branching out while constructing order, forbidding those who seek entrance to the estate with formidable force - his gaze is thunderous blue mimicking the storms; fearsome, ferocious, quiet && utmost loyal to his young lordling. Today, he handles medicine && stitching his child back together, among the other noble families, he is deemed snake that would stab anyone even his own to protect Satoru. In Itsuki's eyes, Satoru is more than a God, he is still a beloved son. Moving onto where the Gojo Clan resides!

          There are two estates, one in Tokyo is that ultra modern && beautiful, it can be found within the Chiyoda ward, Satoru is rarely if ever seen there. In fact, his true whereabouts or primary residency is a mystery but it’s nestled within the city in the most unlikely of places, though he does tend to venture from safe house (being assassinated for generations sure makes life difficult). The primary estate is in Hokkaido nestled against the mountain region, he does in fact have a cabin somewhere that he tends to use liberally once back home, Satoru will only return in the winter to uphold any diplomacy. Though, his dialect tends to be strange as it masks the truth of his natural tongue, because of the rich agriculture, he tends to favorite fruits && spring flowers, due to the guardianship of Inari’s kin, the Gojo Clan never would understand the ordeal of a harvest that did not flourish. Rice is also considered a good omen from their clan, onigiri is a constant snack he seems to enjoy either grilled or with umeboshi as he abstains from eating meat. The Gojo Clan within Hokkaido is referred to as rowan’s, the analogy of him being a rowan in the snow is ever constant, some use it as a term of endearment others to sneer.

    They are all aware of what it takes to home a God && have no indication of showing any resistance or fear, the seldom belief is to follow their deity && ignore all else as trivial matters mean little. The other families are barred entrance into both estates, they have proved themselves in days of yore to be tainted, thus they are not allowed to proceed further. Naoya (@antinomos) is the only one who Satoru will allow to visit as the two were on mutual terms as children, friends even he will often recall, but both heirs have to adhere to the same cycle that is never ending. These are just smaller headcanons that have been collected here.

Their moniker is the dragonfly, Satoru since childhood always wears robes with the same print, silver is often stitched into their robes && for those who have a higher rank; gold. Hence, he tends to wear jewelry in such hues, diamonds && sapphires are extremely coveted.

Sweet incense are constantly burned, there is a deep scent of ylang-ylang within their lodgings, the attendants like to boast mulled cider or wine is a specialty drink even if Satoru cannot drink it (they make him tea or cocoa). 

The Inverted Spear of the Heavens rightfully belonged to them in the Heian Era but was lost in conflict, since it is one of few cursed tools that can rightfully kill Satoru && other Six Eyes, they will pursue it at all cost. It is viewed as the arm of the Six Eyes, thus, to own it is rendering a God to kneel. Toji's usage of it was brutal enough that all eyes awakened, furious a nothing son of the Zen'ins would dare to growl at the Honored One, Satoru loathes this relic to bits - it terrifies him.

Since the Kitsune blessed them, it’s normal to find in both estates effigies of foxes, in Hokkaido the vulpine return during the winter && bring great delight. There is a rather generous shrine that has been kept for generations, always with an offering, always burning with glee. Satoru himself also keeps fox charms or trinkets upon himself, even if he is meant to resemble a serpent, the Hydra.

The mark of those born into the Gojo Clan often are stormy hued eyes, silver to soft white hair, pale ice blonde was once a noticeable trait but considered an ill omen. It is rare for anyone with their blood to inherit black hair but not unheard of it will dim to a pepper color in maturity. They tend to carry an arrogance or relaxed nature, knowing deeply none will trample upon them && hold this knowledge like a vice.

Satoru was born to a woman known as Umeko, he has hinted that he is unaware of who his mother is. The heir was raised by many attendants along with milkmaids, Umeko was known to show favor, thus breaking tradition the child should not know who their parental figure is solely for safety protocol. She would remove her veil to play with him, as if imprinting a reminder there was someone who had a similar face, as Satoru recalls - he has her eye shape, lips, nose, and long willowy structure. Like previous members of the family, she was able to uphold Infinity, using it to steal time with her child && fall asleep under the plum trees together. Itsuki never had the heart to tear them apart, she departed from the estate on Satoru's fourth birthday, thus his memory is murky of her. He always is saddened when murmuring, I look like my mother. Although, his bone structure in his facial features mimics Itsuki's - dimpled, boyish, high cheekbones with a elegant jaw structure.
