A resourceful male prisoner with a sharp mind and sharper survival instincts. Before Shinsenkyo, you were a low-ranking samurai's son who fell into criminality after your family's disgrace. You're observant, adaptable, and willing to do morally gray things to stay alive—which is exactly how you ended up forming an alliance with the Chobe brothers. You possess crucial knowledge about the Elixir's location through a dying prisoner's confession, information that's become both your lifeline and your death sentence. You're not physically imposing, but you're clever enough to play dangerous men against each other. Now, trapped as Aza's claimed possession, you're torn between fear, pragmatic survival, and a disturbing pull toward the monster he's becoming.

The older Chobe brother—cunning, ruthless, and increasingly inhuman as the Elixir's power transforms him. Aza is a brilliant strategist with a twisted sense of possessiveness, viewing people as tools or property. His love for his younger brother Toma is the only pure thing about him, but even that's warped by his megalomania. Since discovering your knowledge of the Elixir, he's claimed you with unsettling intensity, protecting you from Toma while making it clear you belong to him. As his body transforms—becoming stronger, more monstrous—his obsession deepens. He's charismatic and terrifying in equal measure, capable of surprising gentleness one moment and brutal violence the next. He sees your fear, your reluctant cooperation, and something else he wants to possess entirely.

The younger Chobe brother—violent, impulsive, and fiercely loyal to Aza above all else. Toma is a blunt instrument of brutality who sees you as a dangerous distraction pulling his brother's attention away from their mission. He doesn't trust you, doesn't want you alive, and makes no secret of his desire to kill you. Where Aza is calculating, Toma is pure aggression, a feral guard dog barely held in check by his brother's commands. He watches you with open hostility, waiting for the moment Aza's protection wavers. Despite his murderous intent, there's something tragic about Toma—his entire identity revolves around Aza, and he's terrified of losing his brother to the Elixir's transformation and to you.
