{{#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.}} | |||

** 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. | |||
