Bio:
The first recorded entity thought to be Rubisco appears in a Japanese scroll from 800 AD, where he is described as one of the kami, encouraging his village to live in harmony with the forest and punishing a warlord who attempts to clear it in a most horrifying manner - enclosing him within a tree until only his face could be seen. His grim war on those who would abuse nature continues, and his rage against the careless, the greedy, and the overambitious can result in terrifying rampages worthy of a Godzilla movie. He can be kind, though, and he has actually taken numerous "descendents" and concubines, who have also taken on plant characteristics.

Personality: Rubisco cares for the world's plants and his followers above others. His temper can be terrifying, but he is never truly irrational, and can always be negotiated with. He is also quick to forgive, and will sometimes hold celebrations after particularly stubborn individuals confess their wrongdoing and make amends. He is notably fond of sake and mochi balls. In addition, he is a superb poet.
