Ifinallyfinishedhimomg, I present to you the first of five-
The Shiba Brothers series!
Meet: Ichiro.
I finally finished this little introduction to the eldest brother of the pack, I’ve been wanting to post these for forever but I wanted to have their lore written and refined first.
A little about him:
Ichiro was the first born son of Shogunate General Giichi and shrine maiden Ren, ever since childhood he had been trained to inherit’s his father’s position which resulted in very little to no time for leisure, despite sharing this lifestyle with his younger brothers Jiro, Sabu and Shiro (with only one and two years apart from each other) Ichiro, being the eldest, was given the task from his father to assume a position of authority rather than familial with them, orders that he followed by the letter as he fully believed that his father had only the best interest in mind them, turning his relationship with his siblings into an estranged, cold and, with time, a violent one, something that only started to change once he became experienced enough to learn what kind of man his father really was.
The biggest turning point in his life was at 15 years old when Gorou was born and his mother passed during birth. Right when he had thought there was no redemption for the way he had treated his siblings their whole lives, in Gorou he saw a second chance to make things right, so without his mother and a more than apathetic father, Ichiro took it upon himself to raise Gorou with all the love and patience he nor his brothers ever got from anyone.
Slowly as his brothers grew older, one by one fled far away from Inazuma and their father’s damning presence, it was only him and Gorou left. Ichiro had gotten many chances to flee, but he could not leave Gorou alone, and so he stayed, he protected and shielded Gorou as if his own life was on the line, that was until the vision hunt decree happened, and Gorou announced himself against the Shogun’s orders, and his father, as expected to everyone, took this as another “failure of a soldier” and his wrath was unleashed.
Ichiro knew first hand that his father’s punishments were merciless, the thought of what he could do to Gorou, his baby brother, the boy he had raised by himself, terrified him. He knew Gorou would not step down nor flee and if it were to be on Father’s hands there would be blood spilled, so Ichiro had to make the decision to use his newly obtained position as General to punish Gorou himself by disowning him completely from the family, the words came out of his mouth with bitter pain as needles piercing through his tongue, and his brother’s broken blue eyes that saw this as the ultimate betrayal from the only real family he had left. Ichiro felt as if the whole world had fallen unto his chest.
During the first months of the Vision Hunt Decree, Ichiro led the Shogun army until news of the resistance at Watatsumi Island reached him, and felt the utmost gut wrenching guilt when he found out that Gorou was the one leading as General. It was at that moment that he made the one selfish decision in his life, quitting his position as Shogunate General, which was then passed down to his fellow comrade Kujou Sara, who was actually the one to protect Ichiro as soon as his father called for punishment.
Ichiro remained in the shogunate army by Kujou’s personal request, as they had grown close as comrades in arms, she understood the emotional involvement with the former General, so she assigned him as Captain to the guards, keeping him away from any direct involvement in the war.
Ichiro then spends his days still by his father’s side along with Shiro, not because he wanted to, at this point he was beyond detached from that horrid man and Shiro was every bit of mad as he was, but because a small part of him still held onto the fantasy (for hope was beyond lost) that one day his siblings will return home, or maybe, something may bring them back together.
His vision:
He obtained his vision the day he exiled Gorou from the family and his father, for once in his life, approved of his decision and declared that he would be a great General. Words that he yearned for his whole life now rang empty to his ears, it didn’t matter anymore, nothing did. As he walked through the now empty hallways of his house, the memories of his siblings running around and little Gorou following his steps everywhere he went now were hollow, he realized then, he was alone, the coldness that grew in his chest as thoughts of what he had lost rang like gongs in his head, the freezing agony then materialized in his hands as a cryo vision.
His whole life he had worked hard for one, as he thought “maybe this will make father proud”. He stared down at the gift from the gods in silence, it felt like a joke, as if the one time in his life when the gods ever noticed his cries was to make a mockery of his loneliness and regret.
The vision was then locked up somewhere in his room, never to be seen or used.

Are you still into underworld office/Charlie in underworld? Got quite curious after the second game release
I am still interested in it but I've sadly not been in the right headspace for CIU, the first game messed me up real bad and after seeing some spoilers for the sequel I just knew I needed to get my shi together before hopping onto it.
I'll eventually try it out once I'm stable enough tho, I still love the characters and world :,3
