Riven Akuma

Riven Akuma walks the boundary between discipline and damnation, a warrior shaped by exile rather than honor. Beneath the cold glow of the moon, he fights with a precision learned through loss, carrying the weight of choices that severed him from his clan and from his brother, Hattori Akuma. Each step forward is an act of defiance against the fate others decided for him.

Unlike oni driven purely by rage, Riven’s power is controlled, ritualized, and restrained until necessary. The spectral flames that crown his armor are not signs of frenzy, but of restraint under strain—energy held just below eruption. His twin blades move in deliberate arcs, balancing fury with intent, punishment with purpose.

Riven does not seek redemption, nor does he reject it. He exists in the unresolved space between loyalty and independence, bound to the moon as both witness and judge. Where he walks, the past is never buried—only confronted, blade first.
