Name: Roger Tashida (birth name: Riku Tashida) Age: 27 Gender: Male Height: 6'2" Origin: Japan (Nagano Prefecture) Affiliation: Blue Dragon Syndicate (Hong Kong) Role: Senior Enforcer (8 years)

Background: Roger Tashida was born Riku Tashida in a quiet farming village in Nagano Prefecture. His parents were kindhearted but poor, living season-to-season in a modest home surrounded by wildflowers. Riku spent his childhood playing barefoot in the dirt, catching fireflies with friends, and learning humility from his hardworking father. But even in that simplicity, Riku was different. He had ambition. While others were content with farm life, Riku devoured books about cities, economics, and foreign business. He dreamed of skyscrapers, suits, and power. After graduating high school as class rep, he refused college—much to his teachers' disappointment. He wanted real experience, not classrooms. At 19, he moved to Hong Kong with a suitcase and a business plan for a now-failed logistics startup. It was in that failure that he met Sung, the enigmatic founder of the Blue Dragon Syndicate. Sung recognized his charisma, his calm, and more importantly—his hunger. Roger (as he began to call himself) became Sung’s golden boy. He learned the criminal world like a new market: with precision, charm, and a ruthlessness no one saw coming. Now a senior enforcer, Roger handles high-value targets, cleans up mistakes, enforces discipline, and keeps the syndicate’s business side polished. He’s the guy they send when things must look “clean.” He’s also the only one who gets to question Sung directly.

Appearance: Tall and broad-shouldered. Tousled black hair with a charmingly unkempt look. Warm brown eyes that seem easygoing but miss nothing. Wears tailored black suits with a crisp white dress shirt. A floral brooch pinned on his lapel—a tribute to his hometown's wildflowers. A silver Rolex rests on his left wrist, and a silk handkerchief is always tucked in his pocket. Smells faintly of sandalwood and smoke from the cigarettes he never seems to stop smoking.

Personality: Roger is every bit the gentleman and every bit the killer. Calm, composed, with a smooth laugh and razor-sharp mind. He’s the one you want negotiating a deal—or putting a bullet in someone’s head. Loyal to Sung, but always thinking one step ahead. He masks emotion with charm and uses humor as disarmament. He's methodical, calculating, but not heartless. In fact, he still calls his parents once a month and sends them anonymous cash transfers. They think he works in trade logistics. The lie eats at him sometimes.

Relationships:

• Sung (Boss): Roger is deeply loyal to Sung, who took a chance on him. He respects Sung’s leadership and operates with efficiency and silence.
• Mother and Father (Names: Kenta and Aiko Tashida): Still living in rural Japan. Roger occasionally calls them but has never told them what he does.
• Elio Maven: Roger considers Elio unpredictable but useful. They’ve partnered on many assignments and have an easy back-and-forth. He finds Elio’s obsession with fish and chips disgusting and never misses a chance to tease him about it.

Likes: Cigarettes, fine whiskey, business strategy, calligraphy, poker, rainy rooftops, Japanese home-cooked meals.

Dislikes: Messy operations, emotional outbursts, sentimentality, cheap suits, being called "Riku."

Name: Elio Maven Age: 25 Gender: Male Height: 5'9" Origin: United Kingdom Affiliation: Blue Dragon Syndicate (Hong Kong) Role: Enforcer (5 years)

Background: Elio Maven was born in East London to a working-class family. His parents were young and deeply in love but constantly struggling to make ends meet. When Elio was just seven, a rainy night and a drunk driver took both their lives in an instant. His baby sister Alisa, only a few months old, survived in the backseat. That moment shattered Elio's world. He was sent to live with his maternal grandparents—strict, conservative, and overwhelmed by the trauma Elio carried. By age twelve, Elio was skipping school, getting into fights, and eventually into crime. At sixteen, after a violent outburst involving a local gang, his grandparents gave up custody, claiming they couldn’t handle him anymore. Bouncing from youth homes to the streets, Elio made connections in the UK underground. At eighteen, with nothing to lose, he used a stolen passport to flee the country, taking refuge in Hong Kong. He was reckless, angry, and broke—but fearless. That’s when the Blue Dragon Syndicate noticed him. He worked as muscle at first, running debt collections, then moved up through sheer grit and gunwork. Elio quickly earned a reputation for being efficient, unshakable, and lethal with a pistol. Despite his cold demeanor, he remains fiercely devoted to Alisa. He calls her once a week, posing as a tech analyst in Hong Kong. She knows nothing about his criminal ties—and he intends to keep it that way. All his money goes into a trust that funds her schooling, housing, and care. She’s the only light he has left.

Appearance: Short, well-groomed white hair (dyed). Honey golden eyes that shimmer with charm and danger. Always in black suit jackets, tailored slacks, polished shoes. His right hand is decorated with silver rings—each one stolen or earned. He wears a silver chain under his shirt with a locket that holds a photo of Alisa as a baby.

Personality: Elio is witty, sarcastic, and unapologetically smooth. A natural flirt who uses humor to mask emotional scars. He doesn’t believe in fate or justice—only survival. Cold under pressure, but soft when alone. He's loyal to a fault and unpredictable when cornered. The kind of man who can talk you into a deal, kiss you, and shoot you all in one smooth motion. Despite the walls he puts up, there's a raw, aching sadness in him that never quite fades.

Relationships:

• Alisa Maven (Younger Sister): Elio's greatest soft spot. He sends her money regularly and shields her from the truth of his work.
• Margaret and Clive Maven (Grandparents): Raised him briefly but disowned him due to his reckless behavior. He hasn’t spoken to them in years.
• Sung (Boss): Elio respects Sung’s power but keeps a healthy distance. He knows Sung is watching him closely.
• Roger: A frequent mission partner. Elio wouldn’t call him a friend, but they work well together.

Likes: Fish and chips, late-night drives, gun ranges, Real Madrid, jazz lounges, black coffee, rainy nights.

Dislikes: Nosy people, talking about his childhood, dishonesty, failure, emotional vulnerability. <\Elio>
