Name: Rasetsu
Nationality: REDACTED
Class: Reaper
The last one of the REDACTED group I have artwork for, Rasetsu will be a key character in the 5th book, during the Project InTone arc. Her name is the Japanese form of the Sanskrit word “rakshasa”, which is a type of man-eating demon described in Buddhist texts. I won't go into too much detail as to the symbology of her name due to spoilers, but I will say that she is hunting down the other members of the REDACTED group, and killing them off one by one.83Please respect copyright.PENANADLIKr9CURs
To aid in this, Rasetsu has a very powerful ability; in BRYZ, PVP combat is an expected, but not encouraged aspect. As such, when a player kills another player, they are "defeated", staying at a 0-HP state but unable to take any actions. From there, they can either be healed, revived, or if attacked again, killed. Further, there are plenty of in-game abilities for reviving the dead, with no good healing class being complete without one. However, Rasetsu's ability, KOMM SUSSER TOD (Come Sweet Death) allows her to curse a limited number of weapons, allowing them to skip the "defeat" step, killing a player instantly upon reducing them to 0 HP, and preventing them from being revived. The catch for such a powerful ability is that she herself can never be revived either.
Class-wise, as a Reaper she stores the souls of defeated enemies in her levitating coffin, even those of enemies she didn't defeat herself (as long as she was nearby at the time). She can then bring those enemies back as ghosts under her command, even mutating them together into eldritch abominations. She has wandered the BRYZ world, haunting the steps of strong players, amassing their kills in the coffin she drags after her. Now, she has enough souls to fight an army.
I love Nor's work on Rasetsu; that Gothic style never gets old. Funny story, she actually ruined the first drawing, because she drew in marker on the back of it, and the colours all bled through. Thankfully, she redrew her better than ever, and even inked her! In line with the other REDACTED's style of "ugly but cute", Rasetsu is lanky as all heck, more gangly than a teen in their growth spurt. It's hard to see without a point of reference, but this leggy gal is well over 6'6". Also, Nor didn't draw it, but she has a really cool scythe as her weapon of choice. Essentially, the handle's made of a fused length of chain, and the end opposite the blade has a heavy iron ball attached. However, when she runs an electric current through the handle, the chain unlocks, allowing her to wield it like a kusarigama.
