Shikanosuke

Scavengers in The Dragon Wastelands will tell you that Shikanosuke once ate a ghost dragon illusion out of sheer spite. They first met Yasuke near the skeletal remains of some ancient beast, not with a weapon drawn, but with a comically large burger held out as an offering. The swordsman was wary, but hunger won out. Their unlikely partnership was forged on that strange meal. While Yasuke cut down physical threats, Shikanosuke’s uncanny ability to consume hostile magic—a power that surged into a full ascension after they devoured a curse meant for their companion—proved just as vital. They are an absurd sight: the reluctant heir and the merchant who disarms foes with puppy eyes and a strange, glowing love wand. Yasuke teaches the blade; Shikanosuke teaches that sometimes, the greatest power is an appetite for the impossible.
