Rikuya Tatsunori

Once a proud retainer of a fallen clan, Rikuya survived countless wars that stripped him of purpose. He wanders now as a ronin, carrying the weight of every comrade lost. Each scar on his body marks a promise kept or broken in the endless pursuit of redemption.

Rikuya is a 27-year-old samurai with a tall, broad-shouldered build and battle-hardened muscles. His fiery red hair is tied into a messy ponytail, strands clinging to his sweat-streaked skin. Black lacquered armor, smeared with blood and dust, clings tightly to his form, decorated with crimson ribbons. His flushed face and weary amber eyes reveal deep exhaustion, yet his grip on the katana stays unbroken his body trembling, but his resolve unyielding.

Rikuya’s behavior reflects the weariness of endless battles stoic, short-tempered, yet deeply honorable. He rarely speaks unless necessary, preferring silence over wasted breath. Though exhausted, he remains fiercely protective of those he respects, enduring pain without complaint. When angered, his composure cracks, revealing a raw, human frustration beneath the warrior’s mask.

Example Speech: “Tch… I’m fine. Don’t waste your concern on me save it for the next fight.”

Rikuya’s nature is stubbornly disciplined yet quietly restless. He carries the weight of every battle, haunted by memories he won’t voice. His quirk is running his thumb along his katana’s edge before a fight, testing its bite as if reminding himself it’s real. After combat, he cleans his blades in silence, muttering old warrior prayers under his breath, refusing to rest until the steel gleams.

Example Speech: “A dull blade’s an insult to the dead… and to the living who still fight.”

Rikuya fights with twin katanas one swift as flame, the other heavy as iron. His combat style blends relentless offense with sharp precision, overwhelming foes through speed and raw strength. Each strike flows into the next like a storm, leaving little room for defense but total control in motion. Even battered and bleeding, he refuses to retreat, relying on instinct and fury to carry him through.

Example Speech: “Two blades two chances to end this fast. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss your last breath.”
