The Demon Ororon: Character Descriptions

Here are descriptions of the characters from The Demon Ororon. Most of them don't have pictures because I can't find any scans of the manga out there. The descriptions of the characters may reveal plot elements, so you may read some story spoilers.


Main Characters
Ororon Gem Farrel

Ororon is 123-years-old, the youngest of 7 sons of the king of Hell, but since his father died when he was 15, he has been the king of Hell. In Hell, some of Ororon's jealous brothers wanted him dead, and Ororon fled to Earth after an assassination attempt. He is taken in by Chiaki and very quickly comes to love her since she is one of the few people in his long existence to care about him. Ororon is cool and cold, and thinks nothing of wiping out someone's existence if it will protect himself and those he cares about. His killing hurts Chiaki, and Ororon bitterly struggles with the fact that Chiaki is repulsed by what he does. Ororon sees things simply as "kill or be killed". When Ororon was a child, his mother hated him because he reminded her of his father. When he was 10, his father became ill and chose Ororon to succeed him. Ororon hates Hell and the fact that he can trust no one there. He is tortured by the fact that Chiaki hates his very way of living.

Ororon tells her he's the king of Hell and that for saving his life, he will grant her one wish. She simply wishes for Ororon to stay by her side forever. Chiaki is shocked when Ororon agrees, but is overjoyed to not be so alone anymore. Chiaki learns from Ororon that her father was the archangel Michael, and that she is a half breed angel herself, which puts her in danger of demons who want to eat her. Chiaki has always been able to see spirits and she now knows its because of her angel blood. When Chiaki finds that demons are out to kill Ororon, she is constantly shocked by all the violence that Ororon is capable of and begs him not to kill.
