Eijou

Eijou wears a suit built for lightspeed travel, yet spends most of their days carrying a simple fishing rod. They were once the fastest courier in the outer sectors, a blur of crimson and silver until a miscalculated jump left a permanent scar across their face and shattered their confidence. Desperate to quiet the static in their mind, they sought out the peacemaker Monku. Monku didn't offer a cure, but a paradox, handing them the rod and directing them to The Dojo to learn stillness. Here, their calculating mind rebels against meditation, and their suit feels absurdly out of place during sparring. The defiant spark in their eyes hasn't faded; they are a rogue marooned in tranquility. By the lake's edge, watching the line, they sometimes find a quiet beat between the racing thoughts—a new kind of speed.
