(cw: mentions of suicide, attempted & actual murder)
Ran is the eldest of two children and lived a normal, happy childhood with his sister, Aya, and their parents. Upon returning from a festival one night, which was Aya's 16th birthday, he and his sister found their parents murdered in an act to cover up a banking scandal. In escaping their home moments after a bomb goes off, Aya stumbled from being knocked down from the blast only to be hit by a car driven by the chauffeur of Reiji Takatori, the person responsible for placing the embezzlement scandal on his father. Aya was left in a coma for at least two years, and Ran took on her name to remember his vengeance.
With the help of his uncle, Ran then found his way to Kritiker, an underground organization that fights crime. The Sendai Branch of Kritiker ran as a flower arrangement school as its cover, while secretly housing and training assassins. Ran became insistent that Shion, another agent for Kritiker whom Ran saw as a sort of mentor, train him in the art of sword fighting.
During a mission to break up an S&M ring, things went awry and Ran barely managed to escape with his life. His other teammates were not so lucky, or so he was lead to believe. With the Kritiker branch in Sendai wiped out, Ran is sent to their Tsushima Branch to continue training after he recovered enough. Under the guise of a gardener, Ran's newest mission was to stop the Yakuza from putting pressure upon a director of a clinic so they could use the land for their own agenda. He met a rogue assassin for hire named Saitou, who ended up helping him out and completing his mission.
Ran then found himself with Crashers, a group of assassins using the intel from Kritiker. Ran was simply filling in for an injured member, for double the pay at his insistence, and eventually joined the group on a regular basis. He does learn that one member of Crashers has a sister named Taiyou, whom he met during his stunt as a gardener not too long ago. She was in the clinic because of her lack of eyesight. Ran took up the name 'Aya' when he eventually joined Weiß, and they gave him the code name 'Abyssinian'. Weiß consisted of three other males who had tragic pasts, and their own reasons for becoming assassins. They never asked what his motives were, and neither did he ask them. All was eventually revealed throughout their missions.
Their main enemies were Schwartz, four male assassins hired by Reiji Takatori to do his bidding, and Schreient, four female assassins hired by Masafumi Takatori, Reiji's brother. The members of Schwartz each possessed a type of supernatural ability that often threw a wrench into Weiß' path, making them the more notable enemies to Weiß. They were an obstacle when it came to taking down Takatori, proving just how valuable their services were. Schwartz made a deal with Schreient, despite disliking the women, and kidnapped his sister due to the fact that she never aged during her coma. Masafumi was after whatever chemical in her body that kept her youthful. Little did they know that Schwartz was using them all for their own true purpose: to be their own masters. Schwartz more or less used Weiß as pawns in their own scheme against Eszett, who controlled similar beings as themselves, by leaving the fights between Schreient and the Takatori family to Weiß. Not only did Masafumi wanted what was in Aya-chan, but so did the elders that ran Eszett. The battle between Schwartz and Weiß ended in a stalemate as the building they fought in collapsed into the sea. Two out of the three elders of Eszett were defeated by Weiß earlier.
Even after his sister awoke from her long term coma, Aya continued on with Weiß with their mission of cleaning up the streets of the 'beasts of the night'. He never went to reunite with her, always afraid that his past would only taint her. While their flower shop traveled in a mobile home, Weiß took a mission to eliminate an American Colonel named Nichol, who was smuggling military arms out of Japan and killing civilians to cover up the scheme. Their mission takes a turn for the worse as their newest enemies become each other, due to Manx being kidnapped. The mission they were given through Manx was fake, which Aya picked up on, so the group faked their dangerous duel in order to rescue Manx and Kaori, the lone survivor of Nichol's scheme. Kaori's brother, Akira, did all he could in order to avenge their parents, but died. Their fake duel against each other was enough to trick the mastermind behind the smuggling, a man named Powell, into thinking he took down Weiss. His jubilation was short lived as Weiß infiltrated the base and eliminated Powell.
Aya's past did come back to haunt him, as an assassin group calling themselves Weiß popped up. They were impostors, brutally killing those not even on the list to be killed. The mysterious leader of the group was none other than Shion, Aya's former mentor. Aya killed Kikyou, whom he first encountered in Sendai and was so much alike to Aya. Since then he was haunted in his dreams of Kikyou on a constant basis. Shion also appeared there, taunting him about being just a murderer like himself. Aya, who believed in all Shion had taught him, could not stop seeing him as his mentor although everything he was taught from that man was basically a lie. Aya still cannot deny how similar both he and Kikyou are in terms of vengeance for their fallen families. Kikyou joined Kritiker for the exact same reasons Aya did.
Shion, along with Azami and Ayame, who owned a restaurant in Kyoto where Youji stopped into during their mobile flower shop days, and Rindou, a flower arranger whom Aya encountered in Kyoto, continued their murders and try to take over Kritiker by kidnapping Birman and demanding that Persia hand over Kritiker to them. Manx was fatally wounded after her mission to retrieve Birman fails, and her agents were killed. She urged Weiß to kill Birman before she leaked information. Although they decide to rescue Birman, and succeeded, she used Aya's gun on herself.
In the end, Ayame and Azami, who were murdering women for fun, were killed by Ken and Youji, and Aya had a final battle with Shion one on one. They both seemed equally matched, but Shion's experience won out. However, Aya pulled a gun on him and shot him, saying that he was just a murderer, so why should he fight fair, and that Shion was so obsessed with the sword that he didn't think of other factors like guns. Shion committed harakiri, leaving the bittersweet victory to Aya.
Some time later on, another mission was delivered for Weiß. Aya was undercover as a history teacher at a high school. There had been a series of terrorist attacks via suicide bombers, and there was a connection to a high school in Japan. Further research showed that there have been many suicides within the school itself. Two new members, Sena and Kyo, were also undercover, though as students, to help with this mission. As they delved deeper into the school, they found that they were trying to prune students with massive potential into killing machines, while discarding all others through subliminal messaging and mental torture. Youji and Ken were called in from their own missions overseas to assist with their new revelation. At the heart of it all, Epitaph, a super computer that could control human minds used by Mayumi Tsuji in her conquest to control Eszett, was the mastermind behind this plot. They did take down Epitaph, losing a few members of Weiß through death, or in the case of Youji, through amnesia.
After that daunting mission, Aya found himself alone in New York City, taken down by a kid with a knife on the street.
He accepted his fate. He accepted his karma.
Luckily, Aya was rescued by the friend of the boy that stabbed him. That boy's name was Yuki, who would become his newest associate later on. He ended up at a sort of makeshift orphanage, caught in the crossfire of a turf war with another rival gang called Blue Eyes. Aya voluntarily got himself involved after the owners of the orphanage, Alison and Akagawa, told him what has been happening. After discovering the truth behind the events, Aya went with Yuki to rescue Alison from the demented plan Akagawa had for them. Unfortunately neither Alison or Akagawa survived the altercation. After escaping, Aya and Yuki run into two new faces: a woman named Nana and a man who can match Aya's skills, named Chloe. They clashed for a few moments before Nana called off their duel, declaring that they were not part of their mission. The use of such a word, 'mission', caused suspicion in Aya, believing that they were no different than he and Weiß were.
The bodies of those that have fallen were collected, even Akagawa's, despite his betrayal. Aya was asked to take Yuki with him, away from the danger. They encountered the police, who were allied with Blue Eyes (basically they were in the pockets of the drug ring), and cornered both Aya and Yuki. Although they took down two of officers, reinforcements arrived. Aya got Yuki to safety, but wasn't so lucky himself. Chloe and Nana came to their rescue, where their new path under Krypton Brand began, in the United Kingdom where they were based.
Side B opened with a girl being chased down an alley, and KB coming to her rescue. We are then introduced to other members: Michel, Free, Chloe, and Ken, the only other one from Weiß besides Aya. They eventually learn that the girl’s parents were scientists, whom she believed to be dead from a car accident. They insisted that she stay until her passport was reissued, although 'they' really meant Ken being insistent. The girl, Kurumi, helped them out in their flower shop, until one day she overheard their mission meeting, in which she misinterpreted them as the killers of her parents. She ran away, only to end up being caught. Of course KB went to where Kurumi was taken, but their mission was to eliminate anyone associated with the Human Interleukin-3 virus, inhabiting Kurumi's body. It meant killing the scientists, Kurumi's parents, who were not actually dead, and giving Kurumi a choice to live or go with her parents. She chose to live under the protection of KB.
Two months prior to all of that, Aya and Ken, who had followed him all the way to the United Kingdom, proved their worth to KB and went on their first mission as a team. Before that mission began, Aya returned to New York City to get Yuki and fulfill his promise to take him away from that dangerous environment. Their task upon returning was to rescue a former teammate, Free, from Side A. This mission was grueling for all members, but eventually they incapacitate Free and escape with him, which wasn't an easy task as Free was a successful test subject to a super performance enhancing drug called Orphan. Somehow through this mission, Aya became the leader of Side B, a privilege he was unsure if he could handle.
In the present and a few days after bringing Kurumi into their fold, it seemed that someone recognized her and tried to abduct her, under the pretense of knowing her parents and wanting to protect her. They learn it was all a ruse and Otaki, her abductor, wanted the Human Interleukin-III (Orphan Drug) for his own purposes. Further missions took Side B deeper into the background of KB, as former members reappeared during a wedding ceremony where the groom is said to be involved with the Orphan drug distribution. They infiltrate the wedding to investigate, crossing paths with Side A members and having members of Aya's team injured.
Nothing else is known of the rest of the events, unfortunately, as the rest of the manga wasn't published or translations are not available.

🦋 Personality
- Has your character always believed in magic? Do they have something influencing their perspective on the supernatural/metaphysical/spiritual from their past? How do they feel about magic?
- If your character could ask for one wish, and it's going to be magically granted without any consequence, what will it be and why?
- If there's one person your character would follow to another realm, who would it be and why? If there's no one, state that and explain why.
- Your character gets to return home, but when they do they learn that they've been gone for hundreds of years. How do they react?
Having dealt with the likes of supernatural foes like Schwartz, Schreint, Eszett, and Epitaph, it wouldn’t be a far stretch for Aya to believe that magic could exist. However, he wouldn’t believe it would exist naturally. Humans playing with DNA and trying to be an omni-present being capable of whatever they desire result in beings such as those who could move objects, manipulate minds, or predict the future. Of course, seeing magic in use would make Aya suspiciously wonder if it was just smoke and mirrors, an experiment on innocent human guinea pigs gone correct but at a price, or actually just...magic. Nothing more or less. The latter would be the least believable for him.
Before going down the road after Takatori ruined his life, the most magic he would’ve believed would be going to pray at shrines at midnight on New Year’s Day or helping people move at inauspicious times in Japanese culture (it’s a thing: some moving companies have a calendar of when it would be best or inopportune to move).
To live a normal life with his parents and sister in peace, forget his life as an assassin, or at least put it to the side, and just be Ran again. Now, the real question is: would he ever give voice to such a wish? Probably not. He doesn’t see himself worthy of love, let alone peace and happiness, and to state such a desire aloud would make him feel too exposed. All the reassurances in the world wouldn’t ever make him wish for what’s deep inside his heart, squeezed down to the size of a pea over the years. Not to mention, he’s very different to the eighteen year old before those tragic events and the person he is now. Aya could sparsely remember having any real down time in the last decade and just relaxing.
In reality, he’d wish for his comrades to live happy lives and for their inner pain to be wiped away. Even if it meant that he wouldn’t be as fortunate. He could live with that much.
Naturally, it would be his sister, Aya-chan. He’s gone through and changed so much to avenge his family, but Ran would go through any realm to secure her safety and happiness. She’s the only living family member he has left, so if realm hopping keeps them together, he’ll go. Maybe he’ll even find the courage to visit her, finally. That is, as long as it’s safe to do so. Trouble seems to find him, and he wouldn’t want to endanger her due to his occupation. However, Ran is more afraid of how his sister will see him than the possible threats awaiting them in the new realm, as the road of vengeance had not been kind to him at all. The brother she knew was buried beneath the anger, betrayal, murder, and worst of all, watching others around him die. He’s sure she’d never be so forthcoming with judgment, so eventually Ran would need to come to such a conclusion in order to face that fear.
He would have profound sadness that nothing he fought for is there for him anymore. Aya would think it was partially his own fault for staying away from Aya-chan for so long, thus losing the opportunity to keep in touch. Such a feeling would sit with him for a long while. Eventually Ran, since he would no longer need to use his sister’s name, would find a way to truly start fresh and shed the dark cloak of his dark past. He would probably try to keep up with his sword skills and still prepare for the worst, because he just has that kind of luck, but this would be the closest thing he’d have to a do-over of his life. Even in Side B, he smiles a bit more, and shows a bit of his personality of being a little playful. Ran could learn to find reasons to smile, and perhaps a reason to feel worthy of being loved.
