Tsuyoshi

Ryuu was born in Tokyo as son of a normal working-class family. He went to school, met his friends. He was just a normal boy.

When the radiation got stronger and all the adults’ died Ryuu was just 10 years old. The first month where terrible. Ryuu and the other kids where not used to take care for themselves. Many of his friends died from radiation, or from mutee attacks.
One day - Ryuu was searching for food in a remote building, he got trapped by two spiderlike mutees. He already thought this was the end, when one of the mutees broke down. A big arrow pointing through its opened mouth.

The other mutee was looking around. Trying to find the attacker, when suddenly a masked figure jumped down, from a higher level of the building landing on the mutees back and killing it with one strike of his Katana.

Ryuu was very lucky. The two kids who rescued him, where part of a group of young people calling themselves the “Street Samurai”. They took Ryuu with them, gave him food and taught him everything he needed to know to become a worthful member of their society.
In the start Ryuu had just easy tasks for the Samurai. Deliver messages, bring food to outposts. Things like that. When he got older, and mastered the art of fighting with sword and bow, he became part of the scavengers hunting mutees and gathering minerals.
Ryuu never was a weak guy. But over the time the radiation started to change his body. His strength increased.

At the age of 19 Ryuu was the strongest man within the Street Samurai. This and his keen sense for tactics made him later the War Master of the Street Samurai.

As a gratitude for his long serving to the Street Samurai Ryuu got a special present from them. Out of old Samurai Armor and Mutee Body parts they crafted a very special Suit of Armor for him, which was nearly impenetrable.

From now on he was known as “Tsuyoshi” which means as much as The Strong or The Sturdy.
When Tsuyoshi heard of a council of Tamers which formed in the west. He asked for permission to go there with a few of his men. Now he is on his way to Andaman Island where his future and the future of humanity as a whole may unfold….
