The Six Jizo.

The Six Jizo save human souls from pain and suffering. They are guardians of the six worlds humans transmigrate through until enlightenment.

Here's a breakdown of the worlds:

I. Heaven
II. Human Beings
III. Carnage
IV. Beasts
V. Eternally Famished Devils
VI. Hell

I'm somewhere in World II--Human Beings.
Freakin' horror show soon to follow, eh?.

By the by, If I don't run into you at "Carnage," lets be sure and get together at "Eternally Famished Devils."
