The Genma Visage's disastrous chronology originates from Shuromij. Within the Solar System's Asteroid Belt orbiting the Sun, this Floating World receives enrichment from the wormhole Inanna that exudes dark energy and spiritual life force from perilous interstellar dimensions. Shuromij functions like Planet Earth but with a greater exotic landscape. Amongst the alien creatures, the most prominent would be the Shurokiu. These lifeforms evolved over millions of years from Hydras into near-perfect humans with webbed ears, reptilian features and genetic variations from primates. In prehistoric aeons, the primitive Shurokiu prematurely developed potent psychic powers, little realising its true mastery requires a conditioned body. Before long, save for the few with minor prowess, the Shurokiu overexerted themselves, ensuring a pandemic of ESP poisoning. Cancer, Swollen Skulls, and Organ failure killed millions of Shurokiu. The more severe deaths included self-combustion and mutating into hopeless monstrosities resembling fetuses.

Surviving near extinction, the remaining paranoid Shurokiu bore the shame of misusing powers beyond their control, alongside psychic affliction with the Therianthropic malady, the Drago Visage. Through injury or great stress, this transformation turns Shurokiu into mindless reptilian monsters that slaughter anything in their path, including friends and family. Worse still were galactic competitors and dimensional invaders from Inanna, but the Shurokiu wouldn't give up without a fight. Shurokiu civilisation established itself, ascending from primal tribes. Governmental bodies brought order across Shuromij, arming the people with weapons and technology, and amongst the dominant was Nishin Genma, the self-proclaimed Lightbearers for their race. Much was shrouded on this occult order, save that their sorcery wielded the psychic arts. Although initially shunned, Nishin Genma offered advanced pharmaceuticals, the best trained Psychic Warriors and were one of the early founders of Drago Visage suppressants. For thousands of years, Nishin Genma were hailed as Shuromij's heroes, providing good health and protection while generations of suppressant intake eventually faded the Drago Visage from genetic memory. Transformations were now virtually non-existent.

Thanks to all leading movements, Shuromij had conquered past mistakes and blossomed into a self-made Utopia. Highly advanced in technology and progressing well from literally battling inner demons from millennia ago, Shurokiu Society boded well in physical health wellbeing, courtship and family, favouring the best genes. Despite phenomenal exceeds, the Shurokiu's diplomacy with other races remains a work in progress, stagnated by the case-by-case of cultural bonds. Nishin Genma's Higher Elites were nevertheless dissatisfied with their prominent pharmaceuticals and most powerful custom-made Psychic Warriors. Bigger, bolder steps were being taken to supersede previous successes. In doing so, Nishin Genma's ruling colours were painting black pictures.

Despite concocting the formulas to suppress and eliminate the dreaded Therianthropic form, Nishin Genma's Elites were fascinated with the Drago Visage, believing it could be sentiently controlled. potentially ascending great feats. Through many errors, attempts were made through gene splicing and psychic mutation. The Latter had consequences. Volunteers metamorphosised into super demons known as the Youkai; misshapen horrors with twisted powers and weapon-like genitalia. Equally dangerous as the ancient Drago Visage, these Psychotic monsters lived only to prey on the living.

Many experiments took place on "Towers of Silence," often during the day, where able bodies were purified by the Sun's basking gaze. What was achieved was a far cry from victory over evil, and quickly covering up, Nishin Genma disposed of the Youkai once they served their purpose, before the Shurokiu populace caught on. Still, much was learned from the many failures. The blood of the dead simply fuelled the progress of the living. The loss of lives was of no consequence, so long as Nishin Genma's path to victorious supremacy was clear from obstacles. As the ESP Grandmasters of the day, Nishin Genma Elite's were most cunning in sealing off their secrets, covering their tracks by any means. Anyone that knew too much of the inner workings, including Nishin Genma's lower ranks, were instantly butchered or captured and sent to the Towers of Silence for experimentation. Some agents were even sent on suicide missions or disposed of on planet Earth. Their ensured deaths were often misaligned as Martyrs for public worship, rallying full support for policies. As they continued rewriting history, Nishin Genma began fathoming their own destiny as they dug through the archaeological ruins, back beyond to Shuromij's Protodynastic eras.

Nishin Genma's ambitious leaders finally came full circle. They learned that their 9000-year-old history was founded with fists more brutal than iron, wielding the victorious weapons of conquest to rule all. When such ancient alchemy was then relinquished from Earth's uncharted catacombs, presented by the bruised hands of slaves, Nishin Genma's Elites knew their grand plan was coming to fruition. Utilising the Lost chapters from the Book of the dead, Nishin Genma's scientists practised a psychic form of mummification, transporting the host's souls into uncharted netherworldly delves, baptising spiritual energies in the legendary Black fires of the Duat. Primordial power that even Demons and the Devil himself fear spelled instant death on many unfortunate participants. For the mere fraction that survived, they didn't rise from the cocooned rubble as Shurokiu. They rose as Apex predators that dwarfed every arms race under the Sun and Moon. Shuromij's Demigods had arrived; long sought for a cure of past diseases, created out of malice, embellished with the most powerful psychic magic known, and carnivorously hungry for war, henceforth crowned the Genma Visage.

The Elite's minds swam in psychic corruption and maniacal, megalomaniac ambitions. They quickly acted, ultimate weapons in hand. In a surprise attack on Shuromij governments, the Elite's wrath was unleashed to establish themselves as the only law. Creating further panic, taking omnipotent strides with demoniac egos, Nishin Genma leaders set loose their other experiments, further impeding all resistance. Facing the Youkai enemy throughout time was unsettling enough. Discovering that those who fought them had created them in trial and error was an impossible truth the Shurokiu faced as abominations rained down from the sky, cleaving and rending all in their path.

Only the intervention of a failed experiment presumed dead, a Genma Visage Demigod called Ryuken Orkakage, would stop such evil, but as an ex-member of Nishin Genma's warrior branch, the Shurokiu didn't welcome their mutant protector. Either way, Shuromij and Planet Earth now faced Nishin Genma's entire legacy. Ryuken has much ground to cover to stop the Youkai, find their creators and track down their penultimate ringmasters, including his former mentor Jacobi Ninjojakal who first found the lost chapters. Where he found them and what other discoveries were kept to himself remains a mystery. Unlocking the secrets of total psychic self-nullification makes Jacobi a very hard adversary to track for Ryuken's precognition.

6 years have now passed since the Genma Visage and Nishin Genma's uprising. In pursuit, Ryuken has hunted many mutant youkai, demons, creators and their criminal experiments. The inherited "War Frenzy" keeps Ryuken fit for battle, replenishing adrenaline from dying foe's Soul Energy and commune with life forces around the world, but it offers temporal kindling to the relentless woe weighing down his shoulders. Caught between Earth, Shuromij and the Inanna wormhole's otherworldly dimensions, Ryuken walks restlessly on the pitiful journey, vengeance-driven to end this vile legacy, disallowing history to repeat itself onto the innocent even if it kills him.

Ryuken is a man of many faces depending on interpretation. Some see him as a saviour. Some their god of protection, blood, war or chaos based on the faith, and some consider him to be an eternal pursuer of red herrings. Mostly, his own race and the majority of humans encountered regard him as a monster, especially by affiliation as one of Nishin Genma's products. Ryuken partly wears Nishin Genma's trademark Insignia with inherited guilt, reminding him of present duties to protect those from the lengths that bad men will go for power. Ryuken gauges the resentment, believing this will deter anyone from following in Nishin Genma's footsteps, wary of hidden hypocritical hostility from certain players pointing the finger. Moreover, the Hydra Goddess Nishin is still a separate deity worshipped independently from the self-affiliating "lightbearing" Genmas. Nishin's religion reflects the Shurokiu's evolutionary roots from Shuromij's Triassic age Hydras. That Ryuken wears hydra earrings, that he was originally created to control the dreaded Drago Visage all adds further dimensions to his iconography, that he is a distorted reflection of the Shurokiu's struggle through time.

In contrast, Ryuken's girlfriend, Usheana had nicknamed him "Orca," a title from her native culture, given to legendary warriors who descended into the ocean's deepest depths, into hell and back. With Usheana now on life support afflicted by her attacker, the irony of a handle accepted like a birth name wasn't lost. For certain, as Ryuken has survived the Duat's Black fire, he'll go to a place far beyond hell for the slimmest chance of saving his beloved, and finding the man responsible...
