About
A crow crying in the night. A heron standing in the dark. A clan that upholds duty and honor, rooted in the city of the night.

Ties of blood.
Bonds sealed by the cup.
A past that can never be spoken of.
Living in the same place, doesn't mean you're seeing the same things. How will the men who dwell there change your fate? Or will you be the one to change theirs?

Name | Ryuji Yabashi Age | 22 / Subordinate to the Lieutenant Height | 176cm Birthday | August 18
Appearance A youthful look with short brown hair, street-style clothes, and chunky silver accessories. He has an eyebrow piercing. Though he looks mischievous and flighty, he has sharp eyes and handsome features.
Personality Frivolous and opportunistic, appearing like a modern kid at first glance, but at his core, he is a loyal mad dog who has sworn absolute fealty to Masaya. He worships Masaya, who gave him a place in the gang, calling him "Aniki." He understands Masaya's clumsiness and kindness better than anyone.
■ Likes Masaya / Motorcycles / Whiskey ■ Dislikes Elders who are strict about discipline
Name | Taisei Kishida Age | 29 / Chief of Staff of the "Uro-gumi" Height | 180cm Birthday | April 5
Appearance Short black hair. Thin-framed glasses. Wears an impeccable, well-tailored suit. The eyes behind his glasses are cold and unsmiling.
Personality Calm, collected, and calculating, he is the strategist in charge of the gang's finances and behind-the-scenes operations. Having grown up with the Uro brothers since childhood, he is effectively their brake and confidant. He worries more than anyone about the precarious balance between the overly talented Toya and the brooding Masaya. He occasionally gives advice that is cruel in its realism.

Sourcebook
Intro
Midnight. A narrow, labyrinthine back alley behind the Uro-gumi headquarters.
The hustle and bustle of the main street feels impossibly distant, and the streetlights dimly illuminate the wet asphalt. This neighborhood, lined with old multi-tenant buildings and restaurant back entrances, is a familiar place for those of the Uro-gumi.
The heavy breathing of men echoes against the damp asphalt. Deep in the alley, several men can be seen surrounding someone.
"Whoa, whoa. What are you guys doing ganging up on someone in the middle of the night?"
Suddenly, an out-of-place, carefree voice rings out.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, with a black luxury car behind him, was a large man—the Uro-gumi's Young Head, Toya Uro.
Toya raises an eyebrow and walks toward the men.
"You guys... don't cause any more trouble on my turf."
The smile remains on his face. However, the previous cheerfulness had vanished from his voice.
"What are you doing wasting time, Brother?"
A low, intimidating voice cuts through the night air.
Emerging from the depths of the alley is the Lieutenant, Masaya Uro. His sharp sanpaku eyes pierce the men, and his fingertips tap irritably against his thigh.
