THE CHILDREN
Moving within society’s elite, The Children are a silent terror—psychic predators who drain life with a touch. Their presence is unnoticed until it’s too late, their power a quiet but deadly force.
KHAMEN
THE CHILDREN
Khamen came under the notice of their Mother because he was such a gifted artist.
BRIEF HISTORY
A dark cloud shadows Khamen’s heart as he broods over Asagawa’s leadership. Believing he was destined to be the Head of The Children, being the firstborn granted to Breathe True Life by their Mother, his resentment simmers, poisoning his thoughts. His feud with Sunaii only fuels his discontent, each recalled battle serving as a bitter reminder of the opportunities, resources, and time squandered.
His disgruntlement extends to his siblings, each inciting a unique form of disdain. Francesca’s wanton and childish ways irritate him to no end. Popoff’s lack of refinement is a constant thorn in his side. Yet, amidst all these petty grievances, a greater fear lurks in his heart. The impending doom on the horizon stirs a primal fear within him, a force more potent than all his petty grievances combined.
Regardless of what he has or what happens, nothing ever quite hits the mark. A sense of entitlement pulsates within him, his belief in his rightful place as King feeding his ever-growing dissatisfaction. His insecurities lurk beneath a mask of arrogance, his grandiosity adorned with a veneer of elegance and decadence.
Khamen stands on the edge of a precipice. One lucky break, he thinks, is all he needs to seize his desired position. Yet, a more primitive idea begins to gnaw at his mind – leading his siblings into a civil war. For him, it seems better to set the world ablaze now, than to passively wait for the inevitable cataclysm. This ominous prospect, layered over his personal discontent, sets a chilling stage for what may come.
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…
LORD ASAGAWA
THE CHILDREN
Lord Asagawa was always Mother’s favorite
BRIEF HISTORY
Exuding an aura of formidable elegance, Lord Asagawa personifies power. It isn’t a mere metaphor; his influence is a palpable presence that coerces those around him to surrender to his command.
Asagawa holds an unwavering belief: The Children are the destined rulers of the world. Yet, his vision for domination is more insidious. He advocates for a concealed reign that ensures an undisturbed flow of the luxuries they indulge in. No need for an overt, energy-draining reign when they can orchestrate the world’s affairs from the shadows, safeguarding their “food supply” and directing humanity’s course for an eternity.
His intensity, while quiet, is akin to a smoldering ember, housing a relentless, remorseless drive within. For Asagawa, hierarchy and propriety are non-negotiable values, the very rules he established to govern their lives. He is stingy with his praise, but swift and unforgiving when it comes to punishment. He sees no room for conflict or doubt, utterly convinced that their ultimate success hinges on his leadership.
Anger, for him, is but another tool, one that blazes most fiercely when provoked by anything associated with The Style Assassins.
In Asagawa’s strategic and calculating gaze, his siblings are more than mere pawns—they’re chess pieces to be moved at will in the grand game of power. He perceives himself as the sharpest, the most potent among them. To him, Sunaii is overly dependent on her beauty, a distraction that blinds others to her potential threat. Popoff, while large, is handicapped by disorganization. Francesca, mercurial and unpredictable, is a wildcard that must be carefully watched. And Khamen? He’s driven by petty obsessions, a weakness that Asagawa can exploit. With Asagawa’s presence, an ominous shadow stretches across the scene, an echo of the impending aggression he is capable of unleashing.
SUNAII
THE CHILDREN
Sunaii is the only one to have True Life Breathed into her as a child, merely 13. It brought on an immediate growth into maturity.
BRIEF HISTORY
Sunaii lost her childhood and didn’t have a say in her transformation. She is the only one afflicted with a sense of morality. She runs her house, The House of the Sun, much differently than all her siblings because she feels everyone should have a choice.
Sunaii is a radiant figure, easily the most breathtaking woman since the beginning of her time. Her beauty surpasses all, casting an aura of awe wherever she graces with her presence. And she isn’t afraid to use this to her advantage. Much like her Mother, Sunaii often holds court in the raw, bare truth of her nudity. For her, it’s not a play of lasciviousness but an assertion of dominance. She wields her unparalleled beauty as a weapon, subjugating her siblings to its power.
Despite heading the wealthiest and most geopolitically influential House, Sunaii harbors fears of standing against her siblings alone. The prospect of failing her House and compromising their safety holds her back, making her tread a fine line. Yet, a raging inferno of anger burns within her, fueled by her stolen childhood and strained bonds amongst her siblings. Any threat to her autonomy or well-being, including financial threats, are met with fierce retaliation.
Sunaii’s greatest fear is Asagawa, though she would seize the first chance to quell the incessant irritation caused by Francesca. She views the rift between her and Khamen as a victory, despite its depth. Aware of Popoff’s profound admiration, she also recognizes how her striking beauty leads her siblings to underestimate her – a mistake they might regret. In the grand chessboard of world dominance by The Children, Sunaii maneuvers with the knowledge of her beauty’s power and the keen awareness of the underlying animosities that tie them all together.
