VOLUME 1: Swords and Scythes

Kiyoto found himself involved in a certain incident that will help him realize the true power of his mask. The [Swords], an organization led by the Eighth Herald, Akafuyu, will take on an unknown threat that is rising from their city, the so-called [Scythes].

The Swords:

An organization currently led by the Eighth Herald, Akafuyu, tasked to be the guardians and mostly, the acting government of the territorial city of Fukuoka. The organization was founded by Akafuyu's father, Akimitsu. Their main Headquarters are protected by a series of tall walls, with gates from the North and South. At the center of their fortress lies a great statue with scribblings on its base. The said statue is the representation of the First wielder of the Helm of Fervor, Netsui Ogawara.

Akafuyu Ogawara - The current Supreme Commander of the [Swords], as well as the generational holder of the Helm of Fervor, making her the Eighth Herald. She is a respected and benevolent leader who has a kind heart. A bit naive, but that makes her the esteemed ruler that she is.

Fudo - An extremely outgoing and lively person. She holds a Mask that allows her to effectively adapt to any weapon she can get her hands on even if it's a twig. Her weapon of choice is a dual cudgel.

Yato - The brains of an operation. A smart lad but always the one who lazes around if he sees an opportunity to do so. He holds a Mask that empowers one of his senses of his choice.

Johan - A cool guy who is protective with his friends. The so-called ace member of the Organization due to his potential. His mask allows him to create powerful impacts with every hit he throws.

Mylene - The organization's nurse. A very caring and thoughtful person, who doesn't tolerate violence…if not necessary. Her ornament allows her to increase or decrease the potency of consumables.

Klauss - Akafuyu's close aide and also her familiar. Klauss is a skeleton that wields magic, born from the power of Akafuyu's mask. Intimidating looks and voice, but like a mother inside. He is a certified coffee connoisseur.

Gwyn - The acting Commander of the Swords. Strict but tolerable. He possesses the Grey Mask that can summon a greatsword which he calls Grey Wolf due to the wolf-like shape of its pommel. The greatsword holds a wide range of powerful attacks.

Yamato - A serious guy, who always treats almost everything as work, though despite that, he can be a bit of a (lame) joker as well. Yamato wields the Mask of the Wild, a mask that lets him borrow a percentage of a certain wild animal's capability.

Chizue - The organization's tea connoisseur. Chizue is an observant person, she can make just decisions by being a keen observant. She is the organization's best support as her ornament allows her to disrupt her target's senses.

Prelati - Attentive and organized. Prelati is the best assistant the [Swords] could offer. She is calm and proactive. Her ornament allows her to temporarily erase the essence of herself or her target, making them look and feel invisible.

Tokisada - Once the member of a legendary group that is feared by many, the Kaihō-sha. He was known as the Masked Vaquero, due to his old cowboy-style fashion despite being in the 21st century. His Mask is yet to be revealed.

The Scythes:

An organization led by someone calling herself, Orochi, the God of Underworld who is perceived as a Gigantic Serpent. Their members are mainly composed of recruited journeymen and battle inspired men. Their goal is unknown, however, it was then revealed that their leader is aiming to be a Herald.

Orochi - Her real name is Rivet, the pernicious, once a member of the feared organization, Kaihō-sha just like Tokisada. Every word she utters is poison to the ears as she mainly speaks of lies and deceit. She wields the Great Serpent's Mask, which allows her to inherit the powers dwelling within the legendary Great White Serpent.

Zaiaku/Juzo - He was known as Zaiaku the unrelenting, due to his unstoppable violence in the past. He fell in love with a woman who defeated him in a battle which made him change, however, fortune did not favor him, his spirit was crushed, his will was poisoned, and his body craves the heat of battle once again. He wields the Chained Mask, Nikushimi no Rensa.

Heinrich - The butler of the House. He was as elegant as he could be, mainly because he wanted to become like his master. However, a certain incident made him become the madman (comic relief) that he is today. His mask allows him to take control of wind currents that are reachable to his hand.

Jetto - The one who brings the conversation flowing. Jetto is a talkative man who doesn't like when things go quiet. Due to this, Kabuki, who is his opposite, always nags about him. His Mask produces smoke that he can mold and control.

Kabuki - Like an office worker, he wants things to be quiet as he does his work rather than putting in even a bit of noise to hype himself. Though, he has a caring side as well. His Mask has different varieties of use depending on the colored feather he could pull.
