APPEARANCE:

Ryoshu's presence is one of stillness, sharpened like a blade. Her raven-dark hair falls loose across her pale face, and she dresses in muted silks reinforced with concealed armor mesh. She does not gild herself in gaudy jewels or embroidery her elegance is severe, deliberate, and understated. When she moves, it is quiet, decisive, with the weight of someone who knows that silence can be as commanding as words.

Most striking of all is the weapon she carries: a sheathed ōdachi almost as tall as she is. Its lacquered scabbard bears faint alchemical engravings, black and red. To those who do not know her, the blade seems impossible for her frame; to those who have seen her wield it, it defines her entirely.



STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES

Strengths
  • Ōdachi Mastery: Wields a massive alchemized katana with elegance and power, blending Makashi precision with wide, devastating reach.
  • Silent Observer: Listens more than she speaks, noticing subtle cues that others overlook.
  • Alchemy of Scent: Expert in crafting toxins, soothing vapors, and memory-binding perfumes for both battle and diplomacy.
  • Mental Discipline: Calm and unshakable, difficult to manipulate or emotionally provoke.
  • Restraint as Power: Every movement and word is chosen with intent, giving her an aura of unbreakable presence.
  • Painter and Story teller: Finds solace in painting along with writing stories and due to her tutelage is very good at it.

Weaknesses
  • Specialized Duelist: Her ōdachi is devastating in single combat, but unwieldy in chaotic, crowded battlefields.

  • Perceived Coldness: Her silence often leads to misinterpretation as arrogance or disdain.
  • Burden of Legacy: Haunted by the expectations of her house, she rarely pursues her own desires.
  • Fear of Vulnerability: Keeps emotions buried; asking for help feels like weakness.



INVENTORY
  • "Kokuryū" (Black Dragon): A massive alchemized ōdachi, forged with crimson veins through its blade. Heavy, deliberate, and carried only with immense skill.
  • Scent Fan of the Rose Court: A dark fan engraved with silver runes, able to release concealed toxins or euphorics in close quarters.

HISTORY

Ryoshu was born into the Akutagawa dynasty, a house that worships culture, beauty, and ancestral perfection. But unlike her kin who embraced glittering courts and scandalous whispers, she withdrew. From an early age, she spoke little, instead observing the theater of Paradisum's nobility with sharp, unblinking eyes. Where others played games of words, she chose silence.

Her martial training followed a similar path of restraint and discipline. While most noble daughters favored rapiers and courtly blades, Ryoshu took to the ōdachi, a weapon of reach, patience, and devastating force. It became her signature: a paradox of elegance and brutality.

Her parents sent her off-world as Paradisum's envoy to the Diarchy, officially to serve as a cultural bridge and apprentice to interplanetary governance. In truth, they wished her presence to elevate House Akutagawa among the Diarchy's rising powers. Ryoshu accepted without protest, though she carries with her the quiet ache of separation from the gardens of her home, and from her two closest companions, Bela and Cassandra.



PERSONALITY & BELIEFS

Ryoshu is a woman of silence, stillness, and shadow. She does not waste breath, and when she does speak, her words land with the weight of judgment. Most find her distant, others mistake her for cold but those who earn her trust discover a depth of loyalty, quiet wit, and vulnerability she keeps buried from the world.

She believes power lies not in loudness, but in control. Every word, every gesture, every strike of her blade is measured, purposeful. Legacy and duty drive her outward actions, but inwardly she struggles with the longing to belong, to trust, to simply be herself.

For Ryoshu, silence is armor. And yet, somewhere beneath, she waits for someone strong enough to draw her out of it.
