Welcome to Akai Noren, where serene shoji doors part to reveal a world of luxury and hidden danger. As you pass through the entrance, the soft rustle of the curtain is the last gentle sound before you're enveloped in an atmosphere rich with intrigue and opulence. The interior seamlessly blends traditional Far Eastern style elegance with modern decadence, where dark, lacquered woods and subtle lantern lighting create an intimate, mysterious space. Lush greenery adds a refreshing touch of nature amidst the lavish surroundings.But the true heart of Akai Noren lies deeper within. Beyond the red curtain, the underground fighting arena offers a stark contrast to the elegance above, where raw power collides as the bravest fighters face off before an exclusive audience. The atmosphere is electric, charged with the thrill of the fight. Here, every glance holds meaning, and the line between pleasure and peril is as fine as the silk that drapes the entrance. Welcome to a world where the elite come to play, and only the strongest emerge unscathed.

Boss (Kaicho 会長)
Anzan Fujihana

Age: 275, but looks 30-somethingRace: Veena VieraHeight: 10.5 fulmPosition: Owner, Clan LeaderHobbies: Extortion, Brawling, Drinking, Indulging, Brawling with a smileBio:
Anzan was born into the Jungles of Golmore, but raised on the streets of Kugane. After losing his mother at young age, and learning that the only way to survive is to fight, he made use of his larger than normal build to make his way amongst thugs and low-lives until he was accepted into fighting rings and arenas within the criminal underbelly of the Hingan clans that rules Kugane's criminal world. Eventually he made his way out of that life after chance encounters allowed him to purchase his freedom, and break free of that lifestyle. However, like a moth to the flame, Anzan was always drawn to power, and his early attempts to create a gumi, or clan, failed when rival families beat him and his youthful crew of refugees and children of the streets to the dirt. With his losses in both his pride and the ones he trusted and cherished, he escaped to the lands of Eorzea, arriving in Ul'Dah, filled with anger and ambition. By fate, he met with a brilliant entrepenuer in the form of Nat Syslo, and with their shared connections and background in the ways of how the underground worked, they pooled their efforts and resources, bringing all people of different backgrounds and ilk to form the Fujihana-gumi. The fearsome clan knows many vices, but also regards one things over all else: Might makes right.

“Nat’s initial business venture failed due to the treachery of a rival faction, leaving him with shattered dreams and a desire for revenge. During this challenging time, he crossed paths with Anzan Fujihana, a powerful newcomer to Ul'dah. Despite their less-than-ideal meeting, Nat saw an opportunity for both redemption and collaboration.Together, they transformed the Fujihana-gumi from a small, secretive group into a formidable organization. Nat’s strategic expertise guided their operations, while Anzan’s strength ensured their protection and success in Ul'dah’s competitive landscape.”

Born to a tribe of bloodthirsty warriors, conquerors and mercenaries for the highest bidder. Although his father was not the leader of said tribe, Grannark Thousands was a council Elder. His mother, a nameless claim of conquest like many before her. Hardship, war and competition was all the young half-breed knew. Constantly in a struggle to prove himself and stand out amongst the plethora of young warriors indoctrinated into the tribe's culture.Garlean soldiers would hire the tribe to handle gruesome tasks that are better left unsaid. Soon after gaining his metaphorical "stripes" and proving himself through rigorous training, he was sent to the frontline with his own squad to finish a territorial conquest. At the behest of faceless Garlean officers for their own benefit. Taking the lives of the innocent and staking his claim on ill gotten land seemed trivial. Life continued on in shades of gray, dull and uninspiring for the half-breed as he soldiered on.Years passed by, only amassing more of that he did not find enjoyment of. Whether it be notoriety, fortune or fulfilling base desire, nothing seemed to fill the void. A reconnaissance mission was given to his squadron, the simple task of scouting out the outer territories of Thanalan. The mission was quickly handled and reports sent back to the tribe. His squadron, needing time to unravel and let loose, headed over to the only place advertised as a get away from everything...(My Bio is way too long so if you want to read more.

Including, watching the underground fights and placing wagers on the fighters. And while he never fell into debt, he also never won any grand prizes or hit it big.After spending a few years in Kugane, Yrah decided to finally come home and use his learned knowledge to retake his place in the Ul'Dah markets. Selling various products from hair growth oil to herbal medicine, bodyguards to courtesans. His business was going well, along with his casual adventures, but he felt as if he was missing something. That is, until one day, a knock echoed though his office from his door. "Enter, and be welcomed" he spoke to his guest. Who walked in was a giant viera, chiseled by decades of battle. This guest, was a acquaintance of Yrahcaz that he met through his adventures."Mr. Egnahc, my good friend, I have an offer that you couldn't possibly refuse" the larger Viera said, with a sly smile.

She wandered the lands, her memories a jumble of those she had snatched, pieces here and there, until forming her own identity, giving herself the name Kera. She fell among a group of Viera adventurer's, who showed her the way of the world, in the daylight, and the nightlife~Kera walked among the street's and venue's, drinking their passions, and emotions, sustaining her form and growing more, expanding them, each one a new cocktail of those she met in her journey, taking those pieces and forming a new persona to play with, to entice and bring forth the passion from other's.Years passed, and things had grown stale, until a chance rumor led her to a delectable place, a underground club where emotions and passion led hot. She basked in the feelings, until she felt a gaze upon her, a being who she could not feast upon, both of them locking eyes, both equally perplexed, and curious, as she sauntered up to him, a coy smile, offering a hello, and a simple question "Do you enjoy passion?"She soon joined the Fujihana clan, working as a Kyajabo, intrigued at the boss, Anzan, the one she could not feast on, enticed by something new. She fell in quickly among her new family, and their warmth and care was apparent, as Kera quickly decided that she would fight and love this family, in any of her forms as needed, in any shape or role they needed, she would fill it for them.

Age: Unknown/ Lost Count
(Appears to look in her late 30’s at first glance)
Race: Enlightened Ancient/ Mixed Races
(Ancient, Siren, Void, Demon, and Miqo’te (Keeper of the Moon))
To name a few that have been identified.
Title: Dimensional Queen
Pronouns: She/Her
Position: Allied Clan Leader/ Ambassador
Personality: Very Friendly, Protective, and Loyal.Bio: I am a Dimension Queen, a Mist Walker, and a Rift Warden…I travel the vast void in search of knowledge, things of interest to collect, and interesting people to meet. Over the many decades of adventures my collection of knowledge, bobbles, and people is incomparable to any other. One accomplishment that was achieved through all this was my establishment of the Night Sirens Clan. NS is not your average clan, for its members are vast and their reach is never ending. Light or Dark, there will always be a Siren involved one way or the other. One such encounter is what led to my befriending Anzan, the leader of Akai. Later, over many years of co-op work and random misadventures, their bond solidified as true friends/family. During a meeting between Anzan and I, he came to me with a request for help with a new project he was developing for his clan. What he needed was people, though not just any people. Trustworthy people to run his new bounty system. This is how Texas, my right hand, my lover, my butler, and my pet came into his employment under a joint contract for a set amount of time. So while Texas is under contract with Akai, I will also be around to help as an ambassador and networking builder for Akai.Name: Texas Dawn’Shadow

Position: Bounty Broker
Personality: Shy, keeps to the shadows, friendly, puts others first.Bio: There are many roles I play, however my first priority is to my Mistress Silvarincia Ariadune. I will always put her needs above anyone else; even my own needs should the situation call for it. If it were not for my Mistress , I am positive my twin and I would not be of this world. Due to my Mistress’s constant travels I am often left in charge of maintaining things in the Night Sirens Clan so that nothing cataclysmic happens. Let me tell you, it is not easy to be the aid to one of the largest clans in this dimension, especially when my Mistress is constantly dragging home—I mean adopting—random wanderers and integrating them into the family. Over many years of service I have gained many titles… such as the title of butler. Over the years, the bond I share with my Mistress grew from a simple pet to a proper consort. However, even with the new rank, I am still her Aid. So, on one business outing we met up with the leader of Akai for an afternoon lunch. During this meeting my Mistress offered my services to Anzan, the leader of Akai. Now I am on “Loan” to Akai for a contract period and my job is to be the Bounty Broker. So, please seek me out and see what adventures I have in store for you.

Height: 6.2 fulm
Position: Ishi (Medic)
Pronouns: He/Him
Hobbies: Travelling, making crafted goods such as leather and clothcraft,
Bio:
Sorrow is a 4600-year-old artificial phoenix, an ancient survivor of the Allagan Empire's primal studies. Marked by striking long red hair and heterochromia (one red, one blue eye), his essence is a volatile fiery aura that flares into palpable heat when his emotions are pushed. Though an exceptionally skilled swordsman, he primarily channels his immense aetherial control into the disciplined art of White Magic. He uses the gentle power of this craft as a counterbalance to his terrifying, chaotic pyromantic nature that remains his latent gift, choosing life-giving magic as an antithesis to the violence of his past
Having recently broken the chains of his isolation, Sorrow found safety and community with a group known as Akai Noren, where he serves as the resident healer. In exchange for this close-knit community's protection and acceptance, he pours his compassion and skill into keeping them whole. In his spare time he finds solace in leatherwork and clothcraft, creating beautiful enduring marks he leaves upon the world.
