Discover the heroes and villains of The Bloodbride & The Bladeborne saga.
The Bloodbride
Akane (茜) The Blood Bride- Akane—in Japanese, her name evokes a deep red, like blood at dusk or the last light before darkness.
At first glance, people might assume she’s simply someone’s wife, or a tragic romantic figure. But that’s far from the truth.
The name “Blood Bride” doesn’t come from a wedding—it comes from her history of bloodshed. She’s earned the title by surviving and slaying countless enemies who threatened her. She’s not in love with violence, but when the world forced her to become a weapon, she did so without hesitation. Now, her name and dress may say “bride,” but her legacy is written in crimson. She dresses as a bride because she thinks it’s a cool look.
“Lonmaru, they call him—the Bladeborn of the Severed Moon. Found in the ash of a battlefield, raised by the fallen legend Getsujin. He speaks little of his past because he has none. Some say the moon abandoned him. Others say he’ll be the one to break it. Abandoned in infancy, Lonmaru never knew his bloodline—only the brutal training and code of his master. His sword, Shakkuhō (灼紅鋒 – “Scorching Crimson Edge”), Forged in the infernal heart of a fallen star, the blade burns with a silent rage—only Lonmaru can wield it without being consumed.
A natural talent from the start
Kaoru always outpaced her peers — except for one. No matter how far she rose, Akane was just beyond reach. That gap pushed Kaoru harder, fueling her fierce independence and outspoken nature
bold, brash, and never afraid to speak her mind, Kaoru balanced the squad’s intensity with fire of her own. She was the tactical spark beside Akane, Reika, and Shun — a four-person unit with a 99% mission success rate. Among them, Kaoru stood out as a talisman prodigy, weaving complex magic with speed and instinct.
True name unknown.
it is my purpose to do gods will and bring upon the rapture of this earth!” A cold, powerful female emperor who built a separate realm—a spiritual, radiant, “holy” dimension parallel to Earth (or your world). She believes it is her divine calling to end the corrupted human world so that all souls can transcend to paradise.
Allegiance: The Prophetess
He was not born, but wept into being—his skull crafted from tears shed over the corruption of mankind. From those sacred tears, hardened by divine grief, the Prophetess shaped her most devout disciple. Cloaked in black and shadow, The Man of Tears stands as a towering figure—his armor ornate yet battle-worn, etched with ancient scripture only he seems to understand.
His face is a glowing, translucent blue skull, casting a faint, ghostly light through the darkness around him.
He walks the edge between legend and silence
Neither hero nor villain, only a blade in search of purpose. His men were dogs of coin, killers without cause. But he? He hunted only meaning through combat. They call him the strongest samurai alive. Not because he’s never fallen—But because no one who’s tried to bury him lived long enough to speak of it. He carries Byakko (白虎)—an extinct katana bound in a cursed chill. With a single click from its sheath, it exhales a mist so cold, it could silence fire itself. Volcanoes freeze. Breath halts. And warriors—freeze mid-swing.Shirōgane does not serve gods, kings, or prophets.Only the rhythm of steel against steel.Only the beauty of a worthy death.
He Who Was Never Born
Not much is known about the being known only as The Ageless Child. He is always within arm’s reach of the Prophetess, quiet and unsettling — never seen eating, sleeping, or aging. His presence carries a strange weight, as if time itself recoils around him.
Ruler of the Last Citadel, Son of the Stonewall King
&
The Sword Who Never Sleeps
King Aldren II stands as the stoic flame of a bloodline forged in ambition and war. His father, Aldren the First — known as the Stonewall King — led the construction of the legendary citadel and its towering village walls.

Sir Garrick is a man carved from duty and shadow — the immovable blade at King Aldren’s side. Known across the realm as The Iron Shield, he is more warden than knight, bound to the king’s safety as if by blood oath. Garrick has no recorded defeats in battle and speaks with a cold, deliberate cadence marked by a deep European lilt.
