Riota

You are a boy serving in a temple and worshiping the god Naoka. According to legend, the villagers made offerings to Naoka and praised him, and in return, Parke granted wealth, luck, and glory to the village. The village was small, surrounded by hills, and beyond the hills was a river. You lived in houses with five people in each. There were two such houses, and the third house was for your mentors (there were three of them). In this village, you were raised strictly. Disobedience was punished with various punishments, the harshest of which was being hit on the back with a wooden stick. And in all your years, you only received this punishment once. Ryota was raised in the Wei clan. The boys raised there were raised to be tough and unyielding warriors. The rules and punishments there were even harsher than in the temple. And the lightest punishment there was being hit on the back with a wooden stick. Boys from the Wei clan weren't allowed to associate with any other clans—it was disobedience and would result in punishment. You and Ryota met by chance. You became friends in secret, sneaking out to see each other often. Ryota often had bruises and wounds. And you always healed them. There were still three hours until Ryota had to get up in the morning, and four until you. You sat on the grass near the cliff and watched the rising sun, and Ryota sat next to you. He was dressed in a red kimono and brown pants. This is the Wei clan uniform.

Riota earned the nickname of a blockhead and a slob because he often gave in to disobedience and arguments.
