Other Abilities:
Stances (A): Ran is a master of the four stances taught to the Ronin: the upper stance, for offense and a fire strike, the clear stance, for defence and a lightning stab, and the drawing stance, for agility, speed and a freezing slash. From these stances she can use the final stance, the peerless stance, which allows her to use any stance’s skills.
Warcry (B): Ran, like many other Ronin, has the ability to let out a warcry that supernaturally induces fear into weak-minded foes. Some say that this is not supernatural, but rather because an angry Ronin in a stance is piss-scary.
Mining (D): Ran is trained in the arts of mining and prospecting. She has never sought to master this art however, and swings her sword with many times the skill with which she swings a pickaxe. However, both are deadly and not recommended to your health.
Origin: Far into the post-apocalyptic future, where man is technologically retarded and people have gone back to using swords and junk, there exists a labyrinth of depth unimaginable. This labyrinth is both filled with monsters and inexplicable beings, and is constantly receiving an influx of explorers who wish to surpass these obstacles and be known as the team that explored the entirety of the labyrinth. The labyrinth was called the Yggdrasil Labyrinth.
The town of Etria, parked next to this labyrinth, thrives off of this. The explorers provide a source of income for the town, both off of their own needs and by obtaining new materials from the labyrinth that can be carted off and traded.
Ran, at this time still weak and inexperienced, went to this town of Etria on a quest to prove herself. She formed a guild with a duo of constantly-bickering medics, a survivalist dedicated to learn how to gather resources instead of how to fight and a silent and serious Hexer, who seemed to be the only person Ran could get along with, until the Hexer gained the unpleasant hobby of pranking Ran. This team, which had little offensive strength until Ren came along, was to be her team and group of friends for the following year.
Together with this group, Ran conquered the labyrinth one floor at a time, all the while being rivals to two other, better formed teams. They reached the fifth stratum, Lost Shinjuku, before any of their peers. It is in this technologically advanced place that Ren’s team started falling apart: One of the medics died against the harsh foes that were Ren and Tlachtga, once mentors. The survivalist, long lucky and barely dodging death, lost all luck once Visil, Etria’s chieftain merged with a monstrous being created from the Yggdrasil’s core, struck him down.
With two of her allies and friends dead, Ran became bitter and angry at her failure to protect them. She further pushed herself and the team, stating that if they stopped at the fifth stratum they wouldn’t be honoring their comrades’ deaths. They entered the sixth stratum, a veinous and living cavern created by Yggdrasil’s Core to protect itself, though only after news that their two rivals had already fallen within. At the very lowest floor, with but three constructed doors between them and their final foe, is where misfortune struck again. The dragon guarding the first door felled the Hexer, and the dragon guarding the third struck down the remaining medic, the de facto team leader.
Now completely alone and consumed with fury and grief, Ran threw herself at the Yggdrasil Core. The being was magnitudes stronger than she alone could ever be, and summoned down fire and chaos to destroy her. It is here that she was thought to have died, however what happened is completely different.
Covered and hidden away by a wave of fire, Ran was taken away to another world, one housing a place known only as Nexus City. She was confused by this place, looking eerily like lost Shinjuku, but after a certain amount of time there she realized that she had only traded one monster-infested dungeon for another, but this new one was far less easy to deal with.
