Style Assassins
Masters of mind, body, and soul, the Style Assassins move through the shadows of towering cities—silent, unseen, and unstoppable. Their power comes not from magic, but from within, honed through relentless discipline and unmatched skill.
RONIN
LEADER OF THE STYLE ASSASSINS
Ronin has been a man out of time for a millennia. Before he was a mastermind of the future, now he must become an architect of humanity.
BRIEF HISTORY
Ronin created The Community. More than just a spiritual sanctuary, this is a training ground where disciples seek mastery over the Meditative and Action States, the twin peaks of a journey towards becoming a Style Assassin. Under the original teachings of The Great Sage and the vision of Ronin, this transformation took place.
Due to his foreknowledge of the last 1,000 years The Style Assassins own multi-billion dollar companies, leaving their enemies, The Children, to question his uncanny and sheer wisdom to see into the future.
Though a product of this era, Ronin’s far-sightedness was rooted in his intimate knowledge of the past. Yet, as the curtain of the future descends, his ability to predict reaches its limits. But continuously clues surface, forming pieces of a cosmic jigsaw embedded deep within the Universe’s heart.
As the threads of this mystery unwind, a chilling uncertainty engulfs Ronin. What lies ahead is uncertain, potentially perilous, yet hauntingly mysterious. What ominous secrets does the Universe hold in store for Ronin and the rest of humanity? Only time will tell…
EBONY
MEMBER OF THE STYLE ASSASSINS
Ebony is thought to be quite possibly the strongest member of The Style Assassins
BRIEF HISTORY
Ebony is one of two children, alongside Cody “The Knight Terror,” who activate latent powers after the existence of superheroes are exposed to the world.
She too, just as her sister, is carrying the trauma of witnessing their mother, Hakuchou, and their grandmother, Fushicho, falling in battle in a surprise ambush from some of the Asagawa Clan and a splinter group of the Darcs, to protect the twins. The twins were on the run in the mountains from their assailants until rescued by The Style Assassins and members of The Community.
Before the twins ran into the wilderness they witnessed the ferocious grace their mother and grandmother fought with. They worked together in an amazing dance to kill many of their aggressors before being overwhelmed. The ballet that the twins engage in to fight today is a hard-learned lesson from that day.
TATSU
MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY AND STYLE ASSASSINS
Tatsu is the closest to Ronin in raw power. She has a natural regality and grace to her, and she is an introvert, so she never allows herself to go full force. Instead she meets every force with the exact amount of energy she feels is necessary.
BRIEF HISTORY
Tatsu is the introvert between her and her sister, Tora. All her life she has followed behind her sister like a shadow everywhere they go. She is almost always in the Meditative State, other than to train or for missions where the Action State is more appropriate. She has been forced out of the Meditative State in battles and in training and has consistently proved she is still a Master of the Action State as well.

TORA
MEMBER OF THE STYLE ASSASSINS
Tora is closest to Ronin in attitude and propensities. She is also the one that is most willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish the goal. She is all power, dominance, and passion.
BRIEF HISTORY
Tora is, in many ways, the exact the opposite of her twin sister, Tatsu. Their connection is unwavering yet highly competitive, but Tora is the passion to Tatsu’s reserve, power to her sister’s grace and dominance to her regal poise. She is also almost always in the Action State.
Tora is the only Style Assassin that is Emotional State dominant to a similar degree as Ronin, but she is afraid to embrace it fully and let herself go over to it. As children, she and her sister Tatsu, along with their mother Hakuchou and grandmother Fushicho, were all ambushed by The Asagawas and a splinter group of Darc members. She watched her grandmother give herself over to The Emotional State in that battle and has since been traumatized and haunted by the sheer power and terror she witnessed.
Tora is also certain that a very young Calig is responsible for the ambush on her and her family, though he denies any involvement. The official stance is that all of the splinter group Darcs members died in that ambush. But Tora only needs an opportunity and she’ll ask Calig himself…
NEZUMI
MEMBER OF THE STYLE ASSASSINS
BRIEF HISTORY
Nezumi is the 2nd oldest style assassin behind Ronin. He was a wonder child that came soon after The Community had been established and it all came so easily to him. He isn’t just trained to be a Style Assassin, he is born and breed to be one. He has breezed through every requirement and mission ever set before him, except he has never been able to touch The Emotional State.
His first ever true and proper tribulation was when Justai challenged him for the second in command spot in The Style Assassins. After Justai challenged Ronin several times for full control Ronin finally unleashed a large portion of his actual power on Justai and beat him down until he understood just how far outclassed he really was by Ronin. After which Ronin looked down at Justai and said, “I am the Master.”
Once Justai had recovered and trained further he challenged Nezumi. It is possible that Nezumi could have won the fight, but truly he has never known what it is like to have to push all the way. This has ignited an intriguing dynamic between him and the rest of the Style Assassins, leaving him questioning his place within their ranks.
TEK
MEMBER OF THE STYLE ASSASSINS
Gadgets, weaponry, and computer software are Tek’s passions and skills. He is also the primary hacker and cracker for the team.
BRIEF HISTORY
Tek-kn0w-Log3k is a Style Assassin that comes from a traumatic past, as the descendent of a child born to a sugar cane plantation owner and one of his slaves. The child upon understanding his lineage ran away and found his way to a tribe deep in what is known as Brazil today. Accepted into the tribe he eventually took a wife and had a child, Tek. Tek was still quite a young man when the colonizers found their way to his tribe’s territory. Tek tried to fight against his entire tribe being murdered and enslaved, but was ultimately overwhelmed and captured.
Later they attempted to sell Tek on the slave blocks when he fought back again. Even bound it took multiple men to subdue him. They were in the process of teaching him a brutal lesson when a particular looking man spoke up to buy Tek…
JUSTAI
MEMBER OF THE STYLE ASSASSINS
BRIEF HISTORY
Justai was the middle child of a large aristocratic but military minded Russian family. Competition between him and his male siblings was not just encouraged, but demanded. Not being the best, nor the weakest he was largely ignored and spent much time alone. He was alone so much he came to want to be invisible, just like he felt he was inside, and would spend his time in the shadows. The name Justai is a reminder, but was initially meant to be cruel. When someone would notice him in the shadows and would ask, “Who’s there?” He would always respond with, “It is just I.”
Eventually, wanting to make a name for himself, he ran away from home and enlisted in the military under a fake name so he couldn’t receive any of the benefits of his family name. He had a single-minded focus to excel and did so well he came under the notice of a top-secret unit. After passing their tests he was inducted into the unit and his alias had been listed within the military as deceased. Now he truly existed only within the shadows, which suited him perfectly.
Sent out on an assassination, that turned out to be a suicide mission and had gone completely awry, he was joined in his escape by a member of The Community that was already in the compound on the same mission. The extraordinary feats Justai witnessed by his comrade in escape was all the reason he needed to accept the invitation to return to The Community instead of returning to his unit in Russia…
KARRIE

Karrie will do whatever it takes to survive and win her battles with her Sisters, but she actually does really and truly care for them all. She is highly caring and spiritual, but she doesn’t take any shit.
