Physical Description

Masuyo is molded in the ideal Samurai image. Lithe slightly tanned body with some definition to her muscles, she has smooth straight glossy black hair that rests mid-shoulder blade and black eyes, a cute face and a bit of a button nose. Otherwise, there is nothing out of the ordinary or that truly makes her stand out among the legions of Nekovalkyrja.

Personality

Cold and somewhat aloof, Masuyo is a typical Ketsurui Samurai to all that meet her for the first time. She tends to keep her emotions hidden well as she was taught, which is difficult for her innate curiosity. It leads her to sometimes taking an interest in things and more importantly people that she would guard. When she gets comfortable though, she tends to have a bit of a sharp playful tongue and is found to be fiercely loyal to those she considers friends. Since the Shadow Viper rebellion she has become more of a β€œPunish first, ask questions second” type of person, making her harsher to those she is yet to understand or grow comfortable around. But on the flip side of this, it pushes her to be far more loyal and protective.

History

Born in YE 27 as a Samurai, Masuyo was diligent in her studies and her training. Nothing but being the exemplary samurai mattered to her, and it drove her to be better than her sisters. She remained much of her young life within the Samurai House not out of fear, but to better learn what it meant to be a samurai for when she would eventually leave the halls. She spent time learning all the styles of combat the samurai learned and practiced to better prepare her for when she left.

During the First Mishhuvurthyar War and Second Mishhuvurthyar War, while some samurai went away to fight, Masuyo was asked to remain behind and help protect both Yamatai and the samurai. Masuyo became a Fukei after proving she was worthy of the position through her dedication to upholding the code and law of the samurai. For years she held the position, and in the early days of the formation of the Mugen-Yoshu Senko style, Masuyo found a style that she fell in love with instantly. She studied under the founder, Taisetsu Tonda, and eventually began to help teach the style while she remained in the position of Fukei. She changed positions after the events of the Shadow Viper Rebellion.

While she had never seen any real combat outside of the Battle of Yamatai where she helped to defend some of the more prominent VIPs on the planet and get them safely to evacuation points. After the battle, she resumed her duties quietly until YE 38, during the Shadow Viper Rebellion.

Ultimately, she failed to stop anything during the rebellion and such events weighed heavily on her. She had failed as a Fukei to sniff out the rebellion, completely caught unawares, and it destroyed her confidence in her position. She opted at that point to drop the position and instead found her way among the Karibito-No-Akuma, dropping the clan police for the demon hunters to track down those vipers that got away. She spent two years hunting them down until she found she no longer had the drive to do so and instead decided to retire from the Ketsurui Samurai. She has stayed on Yamatai (Planet) in the meantime, doing small odd jobs and the like.

Skills Learned

Nakada Masuyo has the Star Army Common Skills.

  • Fighting: Masuyo has trained in various styles of martial arts common to the Ketsurui Samurai. For a while she went back and forth between various styles like Sora Mai, briefly Twin Dragons, and Polearms, she eventually settled on Mugen'Yoshu Senko. She studied under the founder when the style was being created and helped to teach after some years in between her duties as a Fukei.
  • Art and Vocations: Masuyo had always found an enjoyment in the art of Calligraphy. She uses this love in her martial arts to have a much more stylized depiction of the Sedoka appear on her skin as she performs in combat. She also enjoys playing the Koto, though is not an expert at it, something she picked up later in life and has decided to practice and gain skill over simply downloading and being an expert.
  • Culinary: In order to satisfy her own desire for simpler dishes, Masuyo has picked up cooking her own meals. This has allowed her to gain a bit of skill in the kitchen and while her dishes are not flamboyant, she is capable of producing meals that people do enjoy.
