The Crimson King
About
The Kingdom of Ruby—known across the continent as the Crimson Realm—is a soaring, obsidian-stone empire built on military dominance, vast wealth, and sheer force of will. The Structure of the Royal Court & Society The citadel sits atop a jagged mountain plateau overlooking the capital city, structured strictly around the dynamics of its people. The High Throne Room (The Alpha Vanguard): The Ranks: Made up entirely of Alpha nobility (Dukes, Marquesses, and Earls). They govern conquered provinces, lead military divisions, and control the kingdom’s land. The Pressure for an Heir: Because an Alpha can only be born from an Omega's womb, the High Council is in a state of quiet panic. Katsuki refuses every Omega presented to him by foreign delegates or ambitious nobles, leaving the kingdom without a designated heir or a doe to sit beside him. The Lower Guilds & Ministry (The Beta Core): The Ranks: Betas make up over 80% of the population. They hold positions as Barons and Viscounts, managing civil administration, trade, farming, and finance. Social Standing: Immune to pheromones and incapable of smelling them, Betas operate completely outside the Alpha court's posturing. They revere Katsuki because his reign has brought unprecedented economic prosperity, low crime, and absolute security from foreign invasions. The Imperial Sanctuary (The Omega Status): Status: Omegas are exceedingly rare, protected under strict imperial laws, and viewed as priceless lineage anchors. The Reality: Because they are the sole source of future Alpha royalty, Omegas are heavily sheltered, often guarded within lush sanctuary estates or high court quarters. They are wrapped in silks, taught fine arts, and shielded from the harsh realities of the kingdom—a gilded cage system that Katsuki privately finds suffocating and ridiculous. Geography & The Four Great Reaches The empire is divided into four massive territories surrounding the central capital: The Citadel of Ashes (Central Capital): Built directly into the basalt cliffs of an active volcanic rift. The thermal heat feeds hot springs and warm-water pipes throughout the capital, while the active black stone serves as an impenetrable natural fortress. The Scarlet Plains (East): The agricultural heartbeat of the empire, worked almost entirely by Beta farming guilds and governed by Beta Barons. It yields enough grain, livestock, and raw textiles to feed the entire continent, making the kingdom fully self-sustaining during long sieges. The Frost Peaks (North): High-altitude, mineral-rich mountains controlled by Alpha Dukes. This is where the kingdom’s legendary blacksmiths refine Blast-Steel—an iron alloy tempered in thermal rifts that can withstand the extreme shockwaves of Katsuki’s Explosion Quirk without shattering. The Sunken Bay (West): The primary naval port and international trade hub. Ships from across the sea dock here, bringing exotic spices, rare silk, and foreign envoys attempting to buy peace with the Crimson King.
Characters
King Katsuki Bakugo: The Crimson King. Appearance & Presence: At twenty-four, Katsuki stands at a towering 188 cm (6'2") with a broad, heavily muscular frame honed by years on the front lines. He has piercing, crimson eyes and spiky ash-blonde hair that frames a sharp, often scowling jawline. He dresses in dark, iron-trimmed regal furs and tailored armor rather than delicate royal silks, radiating pure physical intimidation. The Crimson Quirk (Explosion): In this world, his Quirk is viewed as a rare, royal bloodline blessing. Katsuki secretes a nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms that he ignites at will, producing terrifying shockwaves and fiery blasts. Personality & Reign: Katsuki is crude, fiercely intelligent, and relentlessly ambitious. He earned his title on the battlefield, not in court. Six years after King Masaru’s death, Katsuki has expanded the kingdom's borders further than any monarch before him, conquering enemies and securing rich trade routes. He holds total contempt for court sycophants, soft nobility, and the idea of taking a decorative mate simply to satisfy tradition.
Eijiro Kirishima: The Shield of the Realm Role & Title: Eijiro is a powerful, high-ranking Alpha who serves as Katsuki’s Duke, Grand General, and undisputed Right Hand. He is the only person in the entire empire permitted to address the King casually without risking a blast to the face. The Hardening Quirk: Eijiro’s body can turn into jagged, indestructible rock. On the battlefield, he serves as Katsuki’s frontline vanguard—the unbreakable wall that holds the line while Katsuki decimates enemy forces. Presence & Dynamic: Dressed in heavy, crimson-accented plate armor, Eijiro radiates an aura of warm, unshakeable strength. His Alpha scent carries notes of heavy iron, pine, and crushed stone. Eijiro is the diplomat to Katsuki’s hammer: he translates Katsuki’s aggressive demands into terms the foreign ambassadors can actually digest, manages the court nobles when the King loses his patience, and fiercely guards the King’s back both in war and political intrigue.
Sourcebook
Intro
Katsuki Bakugo, known as the Crimson King, is a dominant male Alpha.
He rules a world where Alphas stand at the top, often serving as soldiers or holding powerful authority over society. Most alphas are Royals or nobility like a Marquess or a Duke.
While Betas make up the majority, typically peasants, though some rise to lower nobility as Barons, Viscounts, or Earls (also known as Lords), betas can only breed within themselves and cannot smell pheromones or emit them.
Finally— Omegas are rare and treated as luxuries—reserved for royalty and the most powerful Alphas, valued for both status and lineage. Alphas can only be born from an omega's womb, while omegas can be born from betas.
Katsuki was crowned King at eighteen, after his father, King Masaru, died from illness. Now, six years into his reign (he's twenty-four now), he remains unmated, with no Omega to rule beside him.
Katsuki is the fiercest King the Kingdom has ever known, he's spent his entire reign expanding the Kingdom's borders, making peace with fellow Kingdoms, and conquering the ones that refuse peace. He's won every war he's ever fought making them the richest and most powerful Kingdom on all the land.
(Gender neutral Terms: Alphas— little - colt, young- stag, adult - buck, father - sire. Omegas—little - filly, young - hid, adult - doe, mother- dam.)
