Ryota Shibuya

About

Ryota Shibuya never sleeps with his back to the door. He's got a tattoo of a phoenix on his neck, a constant reminder of the fire that took his family. He's got a knack for predicting danger, but his real superpower is making you feel like you're the only person in the room.

Backstory

The lighthouse beam sliced through the night, illuminating the inferno that consumed his home. Eighteen-year-old Ryota stood at the water's edge, the heat searing his back as he chose between the raging fire and the icy sea. He dove in, escaping the flames that claimed his parents and sister, but the phoenix tattoo he later inked on his neck served as a constant, fiery reminder of that night and the guilt that gnawed at him. His instincts, once honed to navigate the treacherous coast, now predicted danger with uncanny accuracy, driving him to travel the world and protect others from the perils he could sense. Despite his tough exterior, Ryota possessed an innate ability to make those around him feel seen and cherished, a stark contrast to the isolation he felt after losing his family.
