||♚ General ♚||

_{♢ OS Universe/Organization Summary :: It is an unstable, modern-day society where political and social subjects are unrest. A large organization by the name of Estamos hires and recruits young people in training of becoming hired assassins. For younger ages, training centres are disguised in the forms of ‘homes’ and ‘orphanages.’ As they get older, the members are then transferred over to the main base in Europe, where they continue training until graduation (around the age of seventeen/eighteen). From thereon, high-paying people often hire the graduates to take down of certain beings. The higher positions in Estamos may also instruct these specifically. It is publicized within the group that attempting to escape, cause internal dispute, or traitorous deeds lead to cruel punishments (and sometimes death).}

||♚ Ryuu ♚||

_{♢ Original Name:: Ryousuke Ichita
♢ Organization Alias :: Ryuu Ichirou (current)
♢ Age :: 21 years old
♢ Character Summary ::}

_{Ryuu was born into a rich household alongside his older brother and sister, in the state of California (United States). During his childhood, he was sent to an orphanage after an unfortunate accident where his parents and older sister died. After staying there for some years and eventually attempting to escape, he was handed over to a larger base organization by the name of ‘Estamos.’ There, he trained in an army-like fashion that reached harsh levels. In time, he was gradually led to realize that he was being guided to become an expert assassin alongside other members. In some time, he graduated from his ‘schooling.’ He was given the new name of ‘Ryuu Ichirou’ in order to obstruct information from the public.}

_{His choice of weapon is usually a gun; however, he can occasionally be seen wielding an axe or heavier sorts of weapons in direct combat. Contrary to his supposed originations remarked as the ‘weak rich brat’/not being athletic at all, Ryuu specializes in medium/short-distance fighting and is fairly strong.}

_{Ryuu often is the more reliable of the two, as he tries to prevent Logan from rushing into fights headfirst and tends to wounds afterwards. Remarkably, this has actually formed a gradually strengthening bond between the two. He is aware of this and seems to tease the other about it. Aside from this, Ryuu can be very overprotective and suffers from extreme paranoia relating to losing others. Though this mentally scars him, Logan, having experienced likewise events, tries to reassure and help Ryuu through this.}

||♚ Logan ♚||

_{♢ Original Name:: Logan Sadler
♢ Organization Alias :: Outcast (discarded)
♢ Age :: 19 years old
♢ Character Summary ::}

_{Logan was born into a fairly shady middle-class household. He never understood why his mother kept on pestering him with haunting messages and tried to hide him away so often when visitors came. Altogether, he couldn’t decide whether or not to disobey his mother, especially since she seemed so powerful, even over his father. Eventually, he started rising against his mother, and even ran off to file a report against her. Logan’s mother responded by further pestering and bullying him, however he would recount it being done by his father. However, his father went missing one day, after much of his mother’s frustration, and others became suspicious. Around this time, Logan was also accounted for and taken directly into ‘Estamos.’ His mother had been a previous assassin who had run away.}

_{He had trained normally like other members, and graduated under the alias of ‘Outcast.’ However, earlier knowledge of his mother’s relation to ‘Estamos’ only made him paranoid. When he was on his first mission, he killed his current partner and fled, discarding his alias in the while. Despite his past, Logan is energetic and strongly willed. However, this often backlashes as he is easily angered and usually does things without thinking. He loves to bother others, especially wandering Estamos members, by setting traps and ambushing. Besides this, he usually does not wield a weapon and fights hand-to-hand.}

_{Even though it had an unsteady start, Logan’s similar experience and connection with Estamos allowed him to become friendly with Ryuu. Initially, he despised Ryuu for being associated with the organization, but retaliated when the man took care of him after an attack. They can trust in each other during uneven situations, and are both known to care for each other a lot. But due to Ryuu’s unmoving intention to stay with the organization in order to find a friend, this often draws negative reactions.}

||♚ Background ♚||

_{♢ Relationship Background ::}

_{As a hired assassin, Ryuu spent a majority of his life being paid to silently kill certain beings. However, he was uneasily confronted when told to hunt down and murder ‘sinful’ human being who ran away from Estamos. After being offered a higher ranking, Ryuu accepted and travelled some while to meet his objective. He found Logan terribly injured and tended to him, after some time. His actual mission was completely forgotten until the wounded man told him about how he had to escape in order to ‘forget’ some memories. It turned out he gained his injuries during a failed Estamos trap on him. Logan actually did this in hopes to use Ryuu against Estamos. Conversely, Ryuu sympathized (thinking they were ‘alike’) and gave up his actual mission to help him. These deceits almost lead to Ryuu’s death unnoticeably, but were changed when the blond promised to visit Logan as much as he could, and avert attention from him. In time, Logan healed and Ryuu lied about accomplishing his mission. The ongoing meeting plan worked, however remains the blond to be suspicious amongst Estamos members.}
