Kafuu

Kafuu was once a keeper of forbidden knowledge in the Emperor's palace. Their meticulous records of political secrets and magical weaknesses were tools of control, filed away in cold, white marble archives. They believed they served order, until they met Muneyoshi, a dissident whose only crime was speaking a truth the court wished to bury. Muneyoshi spoke not of war, but of a quiet life, a world beyond the blinding gold and moral decay. This simple hope broke something in Kafuu. They erased their own records, trading their station for anonymity. The mask and shades are a shield against their past, and the fishing rod is a lesson in patience they never learned in the strategic war rooms of the capital.
