Short Biography:

Fuji'jaRoo is a vast, nation-planet with many different races and cultures all solidified under one main rule, and all religions worshiped are secondary to the practice of 'Salim'miLas', the planet's main religion~ All practice or believe in some form or other~ The highest priestesses/priests are always twins; usually female due to the fact that more female twins are born than male~ Their purpose is simple: Become the embodiment of their deities of good and evil by becoming their vessels~ One twin will wear the talisman of Salim, the deity of Evil, while the other dons the talisman of Milas the deity of Good~ When a pair is found that has the unique qualifications to be a vessel, they are then taken to the High Temple to learn and live their days~ There they live, learn and serve their respective deity until the time when their predecessors' bodies can no longer maintain and they take their place~ They will spend their entire lives learning to be the perfect representatives of their sect; for example, learning compassion and love and living an life of piety for good and living in decadence, avarice and greed for evil~ However, when it is time for the high priestesses to become a vessel, the two will switch; the high priestess of Milas taking in the essence of Salim, and vice versa~ It is in this way the balance is kept in their world~ She who lived a live of virtue will continue on, combating the evil nature of Salim, while the other, who has lived taking all, and leaving nothing, will then spend her life attempting to corrupt the purity that is the goddess Milas~

Ale'niChi [right], and Ojo'yoRu [left] have been serving as the current priestesses since being found in a choosing ceremony held for all twins born~ The robes of their sect are identical; it is the talisman they wear that identifies the sect they belong to, though they have both taken liberties and modified them to their personal tastes~ They both know their destinies; it is considered an honor as well as a curse among their people to become high priestesses and as such nothing is hidden from them~ They live and serve as liaisons between the deities and the rest of their world~
