Long ago, in the realm of Rumara, there existed two great deities. Jaizen, who believed in good will and peace above all, and Amaya, who believed the world should be filled with destruction and chaos. These two god's fought constantly for years to decide who would rule over the universe, but due to their equal powers, they were unable to crown a victor. Soon enough, Amaya came up with an idea. She proposed that they both create lesser beings of themselves and have them sort out their conflicts for them. This brought upon the birth of the Exceed, and a war that lasted 500 years known as "The Karma War".
For 500 years, they watched the Exceed slaughter each other in the name of their master. While Amaya was enjoying herself with the battle, Jaizen had come to realize what a fool he was. He had been tricked into giving Amaya what she wanted. Hoping to end the senseless bloodshed, Jaizen pleaded to Amaya, hoping that she would agree to a truce, but she was too stubborn and his words fell on deaf ears. With no other option, Jaizen took it upon himself to try and stop the war by force, attemping to rise the Exceed from the planet with his own powers. Amaya would not let this happen, and from his blindside she struck her hand through his chest, draining away his powers slowly. Though she had believed she won, her plan backfired, as she began to be sucked inside his body instead.
Though Amaya had been defeated, Jaizen had felt a sense of regret deep within him over the decision he made, and knew what he had to do to make it right. He lifted the remaining Exceed from the planet Karma, and placed them upon the new formed city of Mavin, which rested high above the universe. He then split Karma into five seperate planets, and placed rules upon the universe. Finally seeing his time to the end, he condensed himself into a sword known as "Acacius", which shattered and placed themselves deep within the core of the five planets. As the sword pieces struck, they brought new life to the world, both good and bad.
Now a new evil has risen, breaking the will of Jaizen in an attempt to revive Amaya back into the world.

Hraf Ravensong is the oldest son of Damon Ravensong, Leader of the Ravensong Clan. Though many wanted him to be a strong assassin just like his Father when he grew up, Hraf felt no need to spend his time training and worrying about becoming the Heir. All he wanted to do was have fun and play tricks on people. This however changed when Damon decided to brain wash his son into following his every command. With no true will of his own, Hraf had become a puppet, only able to follow through with his Father's every desire.
Cylentt is the youngest child of Damon Ravensong. Due to being born a girl, her Father felt no need to train her in the Art of Assassination.

Daughter of the bow, Ruruka is the only child of Isamu Isonash, A great tribal hunter that once belonged to the Matsumae Clan who live deep within the Aokigahara Forest. After her Father disappeared and left his troops on the battlefield during a hunt, the Isonash name became tarnished. Though many believed that he abandoned his men, Ruruka believes something else hapened to her Father. In order to bring glory back to the Isonash name, Ruruka trained hard to surpass her Father. Being the only member of her Clan to be able to wield the Sagittaria's powers with ease at such a young age, brought a slight bit of glory back to the name, but that faded quickly as she was banned from the Matsumae Clan due to her bringing the outsider, Dalmaste, into their Village. With nowhere to go, and noone to go to, Ruruka decided to make her way to the city of Veldara, in hopes that she can find work to support herself as well as the mysterious young boy.
Dalmaste is a young man who was saved by Ruruka as she was returning home to her village from picking fruits in the Aokigahara Forest.
Dalmaste had no memory of who he was or how he came to be within these woods. Confused on what to do, Ruruka decided to take Dalmaste and let him stay inside the cave that she trained in secretly since the people of her Village did not respect humans and what they stood for. Though she told Dalmaste to stay hidden until she returned, he did not follow through with her orders and was caught by one of the scouting guards. The Villagers decided that they would burn Dalmaste in the flames of the Hearth that burned in the center of the Village. Ruruka, realizing what was going on, stood up and told the Villagers to not hurt the boy that she had brought to the village. The Elder of the village gave Ruruka two choices, to either let the boy burn within the Hearth, or be exiled from the Village along with the boy, and never to return again. In the end, Ruruka decided to spare by the boy's life and was exiled from the Village. With nowhere to go and no supplies to live off of, Ruruka and Dalmaste decided to make their way to Veldara, The Capital City, with hopes of finding work and shelter.
