Everything

Susanoo controls storms and summer. Anyone familiar with the Pacific’s typhoon season would rightly call him a hothead. As a storm kami, he has a bit of a rivalry with Ryujin, the dragon kami of the seas and storms. On top of that, he’s been vying with his siblings for bragging rights and worshippers since they were born.

This isn’t to say that Susanoo is a terrible kami, at least not to humans. His worshippers routinely return home from perilous sea voyages with nothing worse than cool scars and exciting tales. He’s paternally protective of his people and seems more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure they come home safely. Well… most of the time, anyways. Sailors who hedge their bets by also praying to Ryujin do so at their own peril.

While his siblings hold relatively conventional courts in palaces, Susanoo prefers an open and accessible setting. Those willing to make the sea voyage sideways have no problems finding his floating court in the Penumbra. In fact, calling it a court is being generous; it’s more of a nightly banquet. Rules and protocol still apply, but anyone making social faux pas will probably face being called an asshole rather than exile.

Of course, given the openness of the court and Susanoo’s general vanity, getting him to notice you is a bit of a challenge. To say nothing of getting anything useful out of him. And so, if you find yourself in Susanoo’s court, be bold. Be loud.

Play into his ego. Just be careful not to get into too big of a pissing contest with him. As long as he’s having fun, things are probably going to be okay. If not… well, he is a lord of storms, so draw your own conclusions.
