The Musashi Family has long been enshrouded in legend and long lost tales. Only recently has the bloodline of Miyamoto Musashi been discovered with his daughter, Radiohead. Musashi was a wandering swordsmen, a samurai with no master or guild to call his own. His skill brought him down many paths, but always with him was a man of many talents named Arran Amatsu. The two were the best assassins of the land, yet later they themselves would be hunted. For now, however, they were inseparable. Every day more blood was spilled. Although more good was done then evil, the deaths of so many wore the two friend's minds thin. One night during their stay at an Inn in Han, Amatsu was a first hand witness to love at first sight as Musashi finally found his love. Presented with a noble opportunity to shoulder the troubles of both of them and leave Musashi behind to live out his dreams, Amatsu left without a word. Musashi, unable to find his friend, decided to settle down with the enchanting inn owner. However, Amatsu was not strong enough alone. Before breaking down completely and returning to Musashi, in a last resort he begged the totem god Baekho to help him. In a wicked sense of irony, Baekho answered Amatsu's plea. Tragically, in a way of strengthening him, Baekho warped his mind to forever hate those around him... most of all his best friend Musashi. Musashi continued living with the inn owner in Han and they eventually married, giving birth to a young girl named Radiohead. For the first few years of Radiohead's young life, Musashi impressed upon her the ways of Bushido, whispering her stories and secrets as a baby. Musashi taught her that the world is always trying to balance itself from light and dark, and from here many of the principles of life were learned. For a while, life was good for their small family. However, difficulty can never be so easily avoided. Lured back in a slight insanity, Amatsu approached Musashi and challenged him to a duel, hoping to be killed and end the insanity he had brought upon himself. Musashi knew that the curse was clouding Amatsu's vision and instead of killing his best friend, he started a long journey into the countryside, hoping to evade Amatsu's duel. Musashi's wife died from a strange disease, but many say it was heartbreak when she heard Musashi was leaving. He put in charge of his daughter his most trusted friends, Dephiant and Bootyman. Amatsu, broken with the realization that he drove his friend away from his family, left for Hausson. With Musashi missing the curse weakened and he was able to start a family, bearing a son named Gabriel. Amatsu, knowing his son would also have the curse, tried to shield him, but Gabriel's wanderlust could not be contained. Many years passed and Musashi had not returned. Gabriel, now known as Angelburn to the kingdoms, met Radiohead, and as fate would have it they became best friends before even knowing their connection. They married upon the realization of their fate, and how their father's history was intertwined. Amatsu, now an old and dieing man, remembered his old friend and what he sacrificed to give him the life he lived. While Amatsu slept on his deathbed, Musashi heard news of is impending death and traveled to the small Hausson village. With that, Amatsu passed away. Musashi told his daughter Radiohead and her God-parents to carry on the family name, for he was about to go on one last journey, eventually meeting Amatsu again in the afterlife. Angelburn gave up his name Amatsu in respect for his father, hoping to perhaps beat the curse, and to respect Musashi for his sacrifice. Dephiant and Bootyman tell tales of the two best friends as they remember them. As for Musashi's daughter, Radiohead, she is beginning to take part in her destiny as the bloodline of Musashi runs through her, once again restoring the family into glory and honor.
