here [Background] Ran Fujimiya was the happy son of a business man. He had two loving parents and a younger sister he adored. Then, after returning from a festival with his sister on her birthday, he found his parents murdered along with the smell of gas flooding the home. Horrified, he managed to get himself and his sister out right before the house exploded. Aya escaped but Ran was trapped beneath the debris. From his position there, he could only watch as a car carrying a man known as Reiji Takatori struck his sister sending her into a coma.
By her hospital bed, he vowed revenge and took one of the earrings he’d bought her at the festival to place it in her hand. The other went into his left ear. After this, he joined an organization known as Kritiker. They moved him to one of the units within where he met a man named Shion in Sendai. He was greatly impressed by the man’s skill with a sword and asked him to teach him. At first, Shion refused but finally he began training him by having him arrange flowers. Eventually, a mission came around. On it, all were killed save for himself and one other. A man named Kikyou. And in Ran’s hand was the sword Shion had given him before the start of the mission. He moved elsewhere where he ended up meeting a young girl who would later turn out to be the little sister of a member from the group known as Crashers. He went on to join these men as a replacement while one of their members recovered. But all the while, he was desperate for revenge and was growing more and more volatile.
After Crashers, he was off on his own for a time until he was brought into Weiss. While in Weiss, he worked as a florist by day and a hunter by night. The money went towards his sister’s hospital bills. And he took on his sister’s name: Aya.
During his time among Weiss, he continued to hold his promise for vengeance. He found himself face-to-face with Schwarz (Takatori’s superhuman bodyguards), Schreient (the guards for one of Takatori’s sons), and even Takatori himself. Circumstances prevented him from getting what he wished for most. Then, he learned that Omi, a teammate, and Persia, his boss, were related to his enemy. And so, he went off on his own to go after the man he hated so much. Persia came to him and convinced him to return. Aya ended up coming back just in time to save his teammates from a trap which almost killed them. Takatori now had everyone looking for them. However, the four made it past all security to his office. Here they found Persia dying. With his final breath, Persia ordered Weiss to kill Reiji Takatori.
While the others handled those working for the man, Aya ran to the rooftop. There he fought and finally killed the man he’d hated for so many months.
Afterwards, Weiss disbanded. Persia was gone and there was no need for them anymore. So, he quietly moved his sister then went into construction to pay her bills. One night when he went to visit her though, he found a cross slashed in her bed and his sister nowhere in sight. Schreient wasn’t finished and soon Weiss was back…minus Aya. He planned to get his sister back his own way. It took the sacrifice of a man called Botan to make him change his mind. Together, Weiss went to Scheient’s hideout. However, it was Schwarz who finished off the women. And then they took his sister with them when they left.
Schwarz was part of a bigger organization known as Esset. And the leaders believed that Aya’s sister could help them gain eternal youth. Unknown to all, Schwarz was using a former victim named Sakura to further their own plans.
Finding Sakura in his sister’s place, Aya and the rest of Weiss went after the Esset leaders. Once more, Schwarz came in and finished things. Persia’s former secretary, Manx, arrived to take Sakura and Aya’s sister to safety. With the women safe, Weiss faced off against Schwarz until the building fell into the ocean. Both were thought to be gone for good.
Weiss survived the fall and for a year continued to do missions under a new Persia. Aya’s sister was awake now but he couldn’t bring himself to contact her though one could be sure that he kept his eye on her. He seemed to have no reason to continue doing missions but he never stopped. When Weiss was not on a mission, they were traveling around Japan in the van selling flowers. A way to move closer to targets without seeming to. But, they were starting to receive fewer and fewer missions. They noticed this easily. And worse, each member of the team was going through his own struggles.
They moved to Sendai. It had been two years since Aya had been here. But this mission was especially significant to him. The man behind the attacks was none other than a former comrade, Kikyou. It turned out that Kikyou had killed all the members of the Kritiker unit in this area though he had spared Aya. But there was one correction to make. Shion, Aya’s master, was still alive. Kikyou fell at his hands and he would find himself haunted by his words.
A year later, Weiss had moved to Kyoto. They had a mission there but when they finally moved in to take out the targets, they had been beaten to the punch. And more than that. Innocent people had also been killed. There’s nothing they could do but wait for their next mission. Going to a flower shop, Aya visited a man named Rindou who was making a flower arrangement that meant something to him. And then, they had their next mission. This time, Aya recognized the leader of the group who had beat them to their last mission as none other than Shion.
The van was moved to Kanagawa next. Omi was asked to make a delivery to Tsukiyono Castle. After this, Birman brought them their next mission. To investigate who was behind girls disappearing at the residence. Omi stayed there for a time to investigate the premises and as they waited for information Aya went to have his sword restored by a master swordsman. The task, it seemed, was impossible since his blade was a living sword. Coming back later, Aya found himself face-to-face with Shion who was holding his sword. But he was not there to threaten him or to kill him. Only to talk. They completed the mission later and went back to Kyoto.
Manx found them there with news that Shion’s group, the generation of Weiss before their own, had joined with a faction of Kritiker who were rebelling from the organization. They had kidnapped Birman and were trying to get the current Persia to step down. Manx had led an unsuccessful mission to stop this and had been injured. She survived long enough to come to them and give them a mission. Kill Birman so she wouldn’t tell the enemy anything important. Weiss left to go on a different task…to save her. They arrived at Shion’s hideout to find the woman had been torched. Putting her on Aya’s back, they tried to escape with her. While he ran with her, she asked for the gun he always carried. He handed it back to her and she killed herself with one shot to the head. Two of Shion’s group were killed later.
The two members of Shion’s group that were left went to visit the current Persia. Together, they killed off Persia and his entire family in the process. Weiss were given their final orders from this deceased man. Finish the leader of the rebels as well as Shion and his teammate. After that, he ordered them to wash their hands of Weiss and live normal lives. Omi went to his grandfather for answers and the man was almost assassinated while he was there. However, Omi managed to stop the attempt and Shion’s teammate met his end. The Weiss made an agreement that they would do what they felt was right and Omi left them to go be with this grandfather.
Shion killed the leader of the rebels and sent Aya an invitation to come fight him. Bringing Ken and Yohji with him, he went to face his former master. His friends were quickly hurt and taken down and it was left to him to fight Shion. The battle dragged out until finally his master slashed him. The fight seemed to be over when Aya pulled out his gun and shot his master. Shion was shocked by this and it seemed like he would still finish off his former student. But, instead of doing that, he stabbed himself. He died in Aya’s arms.
Aya, Ken, and Yohji were taken to the hospital. When Aya recovered, he eventually left the country and went to America. There he stayed for two years as a member of a US version of Weiss. After those two years, Omi contacted him to tell him that he was taking over the mantle of Persia and that he was also reforming Weiss.
Now relocated in Japan and a member of Weiss once more, Aya had a new mission that he was getting ready for. Infiltrate a school because Esset might be behind the strange events there.
[Personality] Aya often comes across as very mature and calm. He tends to be more polite towards those not familiar with him and also prefers that people not get too close to him. There are innocent people in the world and he doesn’t consider himself to be one of them. For that reason, he wants to try not to taint them. Still, he is generally rather friendly towards others unless he has reason not to be. Even then, it is almost impossible to get him to trust someone completely.
He’s a broken man on the inside searching for redemption that somehow seems to elude him. The fact is that he’s an assassin, one of Kritiker’s best. But, this is not something that he’s proud of. The blood that stains his hands weighs heavily on him all the time. To him, he’s just a murderer. Not worthy of anything that might be considered good. For this reason, he has not gone to see his sister since she woke from her coma three years ago. An important detail since she is the most important person to him.
But, he still is a gentle and kind man. Even if he wouldn’t agree with this. Those he accepts as friends, close enough for him to place trust in, are people he cares deeply about. For these people he has more concern and keeps a close eye on. Though, he usually tries to be very subtle about the fact that he’s doing so. To gain this measure of trust takes a lot of work.
On the flip side, when he does lose his temper, he is a force to be reckoned with. That anger burns cold and hot at the same time. This makes him deadly since he’s learned to control himself during these times. Rarely does he lose this control. But also rarely does he fully become angry now.
When it comes to abilities he is good with, he has great confidence. It’s clear that he knows what he’s doing and will execute whatever the task is. Usually without a flaw. So, in a fight, he becomes very focused, observant, and prepared for anything. Ready to make sure that whatever the mission happens to be is completed. Often, he will put his life in harm’s way to ensure that this happens. These skills have a tendency to bleed into the rest of his life as well.
Aya can slip into moments of deep thought. During these times, memories are probably haunting him. When it comes to the mistakes of his past, he has many regrets. These are seen with the many scars he has on his body which he hides under his clothing all the time. Despite being confident in his abilities, he doesn’t have the confidence in his person to match it. Again, he’s just a murderer. And his greatest fear is that someday he’ll become someone that assassins from Kritiker will have to hunt down. That he will kill someone who has done nothing wrong.
He’s grown a lot since he first joined Weiss. He’s a leader now, a mentor for the next generation. One of his greatest hopes is that others will not repeat his mistakes. The power of hatred is something he knows well and if he can he’ll try to keep someone from falling into that path. His priority is to see to it that those he’s leading are alright. It’s very important to him.
All in all, Aya is a good man who is a trained killer. However, he only sees the killer side of himself anymore and doesn’t want others starting on his path to continue on it. He feels tainted and that has prevented him from talking to his own sister, the one person who is most precious to him.
[Specialties/Abilities] He is not a superhuman in any way. However, he is a highly trained assassin. His is able to use a variety of weaponry (knives, guns, garotte, etc.) However, his weapon of choice is the katana. Other skills that go along with this include: stealth, excellent observation skills, great speed and agility, strength, balance, and flexibility.
On the flip side, he has a great knowledge of flowers as well as the ability to take on other jobs. (He’s been a florist, a flight attendant/pilot, construction worker, etc.) His skills are extremely flexible.
Aside from this, he is also a very capable leader and mentor. He’s grown a lot since he was first seen in Kapitel.
[Affection] While caring, Aya is not an affectionate person on a general basis. He’s not likely to freely offer hugs or touches. It would mean getting too close to a person and he can’t risk that.
[Fighting] Aya can be injured, his many scars are testament to that. However, that doesn’t mean he’s easily defeated. He’s a highly trained assassin who can use pretty much any weapon given to him. Very agile, fast, and strong. This is not an easy opponent to take down and even when it looks like he is down chances are he’ll get right back up.
He’s faced superhuman powers before so though he is a regular human he’s not afraid to face things like that.
[Other Permissions] Someone with abilities would be able to read him. He has no way to defend himself though he might try teaching himself to keep others out. That said, anything is really available. How he'll handle the prying will be another story altogether.
[Other Facts] He’s had a very painful past and isn’t likely to talk about it. Dreams are likely to have blood in them and be potentially graphic. All his killings haunt him. As for the girl that will appear in his dreams? He’s not going to say who she is unless he truly trusts you.
