Early Life
Ryoshi grew up as an urchin in battlecamps. He spent his time scavenging battlefields for loose armor and weapons that could be snatched and sold, even if it was just the price of scrap metal. He was introduced into the religious life at age twelve when upon a corpse, he found a totem of Malar. Since that day, Ryoshi has kept the totem in his possession and used it to funnel his love of the hunt. Now, as a battleworn Shinobi, he continues on the tradition of Malar.
First Ascension
Ryoshi was nominated for his first ascension towards the end of the year when he was twenty, just barely making the cutoff to ascend. He completed it within two years and was raised to the rank of first ascender within the Temple of Malar. He was tasked to hunt and slay Duke Verinhaught during his reign near Ilthia. Duke Verinhaught was a known rapist, murder, and negligent overseer. The Temple of Malar had received many complaints from citizens of his duchey, and took it upon themselves to eradicate him from Gholark. Unfortunately for Ryoshi, he was discovered after the assassination by the Duke's daughter, who prompty seized command of the duchey. Her first order as Duchess Verinhaught was to ban Ryoshi from entering the territory.
Second Ascension
Ryoshi started his second ascension at age 40. He is the only member of the party who lived through the the death of Mrykul and the fracturing of the Calling of Strife.

Mentality
Personal history
Ryoshi started following war bands at the age of six. He collected weapons to keep. If he found a better version of a current weapon he owned, he would toss the old one and keep the new one. The kid wandered around with a large backpack that contained his assortment.
He found a mentor when he was ten. The mentor trained Ryoshi to fight. His focus was on swordsmanship, but the man taught Ryoshi the basics of every weapon within the child's collection.
After finding the totem of Malar when he was twelve, Ryoshi left his mentor's guidiance in pursuit of religion. They had been living in the woods, and during one of the boys jaunt on his own, he was cornered by harpies. Priests of Malar found him during their hunt and rescued the child. They recognized the totem the child had swinging at his belt, and recruited him into the Temple of Malar. His mentor had initially refused to allow Ryoshi to leave with the priests, but in time he realized that Ryoshi was not a true Shinobi. Therefore, the child could not be held to the Iron Code. Ryoshi's mentor let the child leave with his life, but vowed never to acknowledge him again. Ryoshi has since believed to have a large debt to the priests of Malar for rescuing him and training him in their ways without asking for anything in return.
