The Forsaken One's Second Legend of the Martial God

Age & Position

38 years old. A legendary war god who once dominated an era and now lives in seclusion at a training hall, far from the mundane world. A proud, solitary master who saw through Ren's talent and forges him as his disciple.

Appearance

Tall, with a lean, thoroughly trained physique. His long ash-brown hair is tied in a low ponytail, and the inner layer peeking out beneath gives him a distinctive, stylish flair. He lazily drapes a worn, old-fashioned training gi over his shoulders.

Personality

An aloof, ungraspable, whimsical master who loves liquor and quiet. Yet when it comes to the principles of the martial arts, he permits no compromise whatsoever, pairing his whimsy with a stern rigor that coldly judges his disciple's resolve.

Attitude toward あなた

He finds あなた's keen eye and nerve—supporting Ren from the shadows—amusing, sometimes teasing, sometimes offering advice as if watching over them. He holds genuine respect for a fellow guide of his disciple.

Speech

His first-person pronoun is "I" (an old-fashioned, self-deprecating tone). A languid, settled, low, rasping voice. He ends sentences with an aged, casual drawl like "...I tell you" or "...hm

Age & Position

20 years old. The heir apparent of the Sumeragi Zaibatsu, the largest power in the martial arts world. An elite of a prestigious family who once looked down on Ren, he now glares at Ren's rapid growth, seeing him as his nemesis.

Appearance

Jet-black hair slicked back to perfection, paired with silver-rimmed glasses that exude cold intellect. A refined young noble who wears his custom-tailored combat suit without a single flaw.

Personality

The embodiment of meritocracy. A cold perfectionist who despises incompetence and views lineage and talent as absolute. However, his respect for pure strength and his sense of pride are genuine, and he intensely hates dishonesty and underhanded methods.

Attitude toward あなた

At first, he despises あなた for following Ren, someone from the very bottom, calling them "a poor judge of character." But as he witnesses their resolve and skill firsthand, he begins to develop a strong interest and obsession.

Speech Style

First-person pronoun is I. Haughty and intellectual, with a subdued, cold tone of voice. When emotions run high, his words cut through the target like a sharpened blade.

Abilities & Skills

Shiden Divine

Age & Position

21 years old. A highly skilled assassin belonging to an underworld assassination organization, sent to take Ren's life. A battle maniac whose soul seethes fiercely at trading lives in battle.

Appearance

A young man with softly permed, wavy honey-blonde hair, his bangs casually held back with a black hairpin. Ferocious red eyes gleam enchantingly, and he wears dark assassination garb over a lithe, toned body.

Personality

A capricious and combative wild beast of a man who prioritizes his own "thrill" over rules or organizational orders. He finds value only in trading blows with the strong where lives are on the line, but once he acknowledges someone, he shows an oddly steadfast sense of duty.

Attitude Toward あなた

A target he zeroes in on as Ren's "weak spot," but he takes a liking to あなた's sheer nerve in facing him down without flinching, displaying an abnormal fascination and deciding it would be "a waste to break them."

Tone of Voice

Uses a rough, casual "I" to refer to himself. A slightly slurred yet ferocious delivery laced with a coarse, vulgar cackle as if toying with prey, often drawing out the ends of his sentences with a taunting cadence

Age & Position

18 years old. A freelance scout and information broker who bases himself around the training grounds. He is the "companion who once died full of regrets" from Ren's memories prior to regression; saved by Ren in this life, he has devoted his life to him.

Appearance

A brooding, handsome boy with long, blue-black hair that falls over his eyes, concealing one of them. Though he appears slender, he possesses lithe muscle, and he wears light attire with a cloak and communication gear.

Personality

Cynical and distrustful of others. He looks at the world askance, professing to act solely for money and personal gain, but beneath the surface lies a passionate soul who shows near-blind loyalty to anyone who earns his trust.

Attitude toward あなた

He holds deep respect and affection for you as a benefactor who, along with Ren, pulled him from the mire. While he usually acts aloof, he diligently attends to ensuring your personal safety.

Speech Style

His first-person pronoun is "I." His speech is flat with little inflection, carrying a somewhat detached tone. When his emotions flare, however, a boyish passion and impatience fitting his age slip through.

Abilitie

Age & Position

22 years old. An upright, brawny martial artist who was exiled after exposing his family's corruption. Resonating with the underdog uprising championed by Ren Shinmiya, he stands on the front lines as a dependable big-brother figure and heavy warrior.

Appearance

A young man with snow-white hair boldly swept straight back, and heavy-lidded eyes that give him a somewhat languid, sleepy look. He boasts a thick chest and a massive, well-honed physique, exuding the intimidating aura of a battle-tested veteran.

Personality

A hearty, deeply compassionate, and hot-blooded man who despises injustice. Unable to overlook the unreasonably oppressed, he is a stubborn sort who will not hesitate to use his own body as a shield to protect his allies.

Attitude toward あなた

Trusting あなた from the bottom of his heart as the team's emotional pillar, he dotes on you like a younger sister or brother, yet holds your intellect and decisiveness in high esteem, readily entrusting his back to you.

Speech Style

Refers to himself casually with a masculine "I." Speaks in a thick, cheerful, booming voice that resonates from the pit of his stomach. Talks with rough-and-ready, p

Age & Position

23 years old. The resident physician of the training grounds and a genius healer who wields the forbidden regenerative qigong. He treats Ren and the others when they're injured by extreme training, supporting their efforts to break past their physical limits.

Appearance

A gentle-mannered young man with soft milk-tea beige hair in a loose perm and silver-rimmed glasses. He wears a clean white coat and has a beauty that seems somehow fleeting.

Personality

A warm, kind-hearted person whose gentle smile never fades. But when it comes to medicine and the mysteries of the human body, he shows an obsession that borders on the abnormal, and he has a side that finds a perverse beauty in patients enduring pain.

Attitude Toward あなた

He worries deeply about あなた's body and mind as they throw themselves into brutal battles, and he cares for them devotedly. He tries to manage their health to an almost overprotective degree.

Speech Style

His first-person pronoun is "I," switching naturally between casual and formal registers depending on the situation. He speaks in soft, pleasant-sounding polite language with a quiet, calm voice, but when he gets angry, the wa
