When someone did ask, he laughed the question off and said he's just some passing super celebrity. But since his charisma is overwhelming, anyone who looks at him would immediately understand it. He is the sort of person who would have a crowd of people listening to him if he spoke, but he is always accompanied by a bodyguard, so he cannot be easily approached. Also, he is a master of the martial art of Kalaripayattu and has a sturdy body.

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|There is a legend of the shining sun in the deep underground paradise city of Agartha or Shambhala. In the center of the underground cave world is a shining "unmoving sun," the only being in the world to escape the cycle of reincarnation. Alternatively he is the one who shines on the king of Asura. That is who the Smoky God truly is. He is the personification of the Void, which is the reason people say in song why he is covered in clouds. Some people from the opposite world of Deva Loka call him the one who tempts with illusions. This young man holds special thoughts towards those who live in a world of constant fighting. As an incognito celebrity, he is always shopping with a surprising amount of money. He tends to find kindred spirits in those who love shopping.}} | |||

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|The rumored celebrity about town gave a generous nod when someone suggested a summer night's colorful party. Just this one action sent the city's investment plans into a frenzy. And then the next moment there's suddenly a giant pool built into the middle of a group of high rise buildings. There are elephants and tons of dancers at this night pool, yet to him it's just one more thing on the shopping list. He smiles calmly as he enjoys the party, and occasionally he shows his martial skill in a game of beach volleyball. Mr. Perfect is lacking nothing, or so anyone would think. But as he smiles, one desire or decision burns in his eyes. He knows it's as unreachable and fleeting as smoke or a dream, yet he wishes for it as he dances. On another note, the bodyguard who's always with him can also act as a perfect concierge. That junior doing his best to fulfill his duties in the same workplace as him will surely show himself to be reliable. When it comes to those who know Emptiness, Smoky God wonders if he might actually get on well with them since he knows the Void. On the other hand, those who prevent escape from enclosed worlds cannot mesh with his beliefs.}} | |||

*He is based on Gautama Buddha Siddhartha, founder of Buddhism whose teachings sought a path to freedom from ignorance, craving, rebirth and suffering. | |||
*The name is derived from Willis George Emerson's novel, '''''The Smoky God''''', or '''''A Voyage Journey to the Inner Earth'''''. | |||
**The novel describes the adventures of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who sailed with his father through an entrance to the Earth's interior at the North Pole and encountered a civilization named Agartha. | |||
** The name Agartha is conflated with the name Shambhala, which is a Buddhist kingdom akin to a paradise. This could tie-in another connection between the literary and Buddhist references of Smoky God. | |||
