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.

(Kaicho) Anzan Fujihana

Age: 140 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.

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.”

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.

Coming from the cold mountains of Coerthas she was raised mostly by her brother. Her father and mother taught her survival was the only thing important in life. She ran away from home at the age of 18 and hid mostly in solution nine. There she went to a research facility to install cybernetics into her body. Finding out she was going to be used as a weapon of destruction rather than a savior like she was told, she defected and fled to the warmth and comfort of Gridania. She wondered the streets to eventually find a comforting cafe to relax in and lay low. She came up with the idea to do the same, and wanted to help others out.She hired Mr. Fujihana as a butler for her up and coming cafe. It was mostly a community service sentence, the judge never said why or how but she was grateful to have another member of her team. Once the service was over she was happy to see him go, but was sad to lose a great worker. Some months later she recieved an odd letter in the mail talking of the Akai Noren family. Thinking of what it could be, her eyes saw the familiar mark of her friend/co-worker and accepted the invite without second guessing. Though her experience fighting is more of a survival thing, she isn't afraid to knock a head in if needed.

Race: Miqo'te
Height: Pocket-sized
Position: Kyabajo
Hobbies: Reading, dancing, gardening, cooking, and exploringMamaki Maraki, a curious creature with an unknown true name, prefers to be called Mia by her clients and friends. A Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te with a spirit as fierce as the noonday sun; born into a tribe bound by rigid tradition, Mia quickly grew disillusioned with the patriarchal structures and harem culture that defined her upbringing. As a child, Mia found solace in books, spending hours absorbed in their pages. She especially gravitated toward the explicit and provocative tales hidden in dusty corners, drawn to their raw depictions of freedom and desire. These stories fuelled her dreams of a life unbound by the limitations imposed upon her. Her rebellious streak clashed with the expectations placed upon her, and she yearned for a life that transcended the confines of her prescribed role in her tribe.Seeking self-discovery, Mia left her tribe and ventured across Eorzea.

(Leighis) Kamelia Kinryu

Age: There is a comma, maybe two. Appears 30s
Race: Shifter, Foxfae
Height: Adjustable at will for various forms, usually just over 6 fulms
Position: Leighis (medic), KyabajoKamelia’s origins trace back to a place that defies the bounds of our known realm—a land whispered of in dreams and ancient tales, where the air hums with unseen magic and the ground shimmers with strange, otherworldly light. While her connection to the Fae of this star remains tenuous, it is not severed entirely. Threads of their shared heritage linger in her sharp gaze and the faint glimmer of mischief that dances around her every word. Kamelia’s supernatural allure and enigmatic dealings have long drawn people from every corner of the land—warriors, scholars, and opportunists alike—each seeking her favor, her cunning, or the subtle power she exudes.But it was Anzan, ever the resourceful and determined one, who managed to secure her loyalty—or at least, her employment. Through a deal as cunning as it was bold, he bound Kamelia to his service, crafting a contract that only he could have negotiated. Yet, as time wore on, their relationship began to transcend the transactional nature of their agreement. Beneath her sly demeanor and his calculating exterior, they discovered a kinship—a shared appreciation for gold’s gleam and the electrifying spectacle of a good fight. These shared passions forged a bond, one tempered by respect and the understanding that each had found in the other a kindred spirit.Within the Fujihana-gumi, Kamelia occupies a unique role. As the organization’s medic (Leighis), she tends to those battered and bloodied in the heat of battle; her hands moving with the precision of one who has seen far more than her youthful appearance suggests. Yet her work is not confined to salves and stitches. Kamelia is a collector—not of treasures in the traditional sense, but of secrets, debts, and promises. Her silver tongue and foxlike cunning allow her to weave deals that skirt the edges of legality and morality, always dancing within the loopholes of fine print. It is said that to accept her aid is to strike a bargain, one whose terms might only become clear when it is far too late.Despite her sly nature, Kamelia’s presence in the Fujihana-gumi is indispensable. Her sharp wit and even sharper instincts make her both a healer and a strategist, a woman who knows how to mend bones as easily as she manipulates hearts. And though she serves the organization loyally—at least for now—there is always a sense that her true allegiance lies elsewhere, in a place beyond comprehension, where her own mysterious agenda quietly unfolds.
