Gyou ( , ギョウ) is one of the 8 creatures that Rin can reincarnate as in Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou. His mission is to participate in the Ritual of Time.

Mission

Gyou was born in Shi-chieng, with the task of participating in the Ritual of Time. However...

Walkthrough

...Gyou burns himself alive during the Ritual of Time, which involves him lighting a candle with flames that burst from his head. Gyou still accomplished his mission, though, since he lit the candle.

Character

Unlike all other reincarnations and the protagonist, its name comes from a kanji that is not part of the Kuji, 行 (line, verse) as seen in its Nameplate. One of its meanings, "to carry out" can call back to Gyou's role in the game. The kanji can also mean carya and samskara, which are buddhist terms; considering Eastern Mind was very influenced by buddhism, the meanings may be related.

Tong-Nou Book Entry

Likes

Dislikes

The fact that he must accomplish his assigned task is annoying. He would rather give it up and go on another freestyle flight.
