Shiki


 * Not to be confused with a Toukiden character.

Shiki (志貴) is an original character in Musou ☆ Stars.

Role in Game
He is Tamaki's older brother and the eldest child of the former king. Shiki possesses the Yasakani Magatama as proof of his royal lineage.

He obstructs Tamaki and Setsuna's claims for the throne for reasons unknown.

Development
Furusawa remarked that the original characters in Musou Stars were originally designed to be human beings, but the team felt that their visuals "lost entirely" to characters from other IPs. They then tried to make the original characters appear to be "almighty", but this was declined for going too overboard just for the sake distinguishing them. Their current beastly appearances were originally suggested by one of the game's designers. It was accepted since anthropomorphism wasn't present in the other Warriors IPs that they had picked. Furusawa wanted the original characters to be in the roster so they could help provide different perspectives in a "long and tight" character driven narrative.

Okitsu carefully played Shiki to be a "ruthless man" who has his own set of beliefs. He likes his character's ears.

Personality
He bears the countenance and mannerisms befitting a prince, yet Shiki hardly displays emotions. He always acts in a collected manner and shows no mercy to anyone, even to his own family.

Character Symbolism
The Yasakani Magatama is one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan.
