Kanji Dungeon Concept: 1/3
(some pictures included!)
So, Kanji thought his dad died. Turns out this was just mostly a fabrication. His mom used to live in Iwatodai, used to love a Tatsumi mob boss. He was fine as hell, but he started amassing power that scared her, so when she found out she was pregnant, she moved to the sticks and hid. Got married, *that* guy died. But she'd never told Kanji about his real dad. Ever. She'd never talk about it, so one day he did a DNA test and found out, yeah, he was the son of an indigenous crime family who owned half of Iwatodai and was very protective over it. He asked Naoto to do a background check on some of the people in his family line, and yeah. Criminals. Powerful, rich land owners that were squeezing the population of Iwatodai by gouging rent. And they were at odds with the Kirijo Group, who basically owned the other half of the city, and built a private island they did a whole mess of crime on. Optimistic, Kanji set up a meeting with his real father, who was having a family reunion at the time. His family members looked like him! They were all darker, had hair like his. The meet-and-greet was going okay, but when he mentioned he was allied with the Kirijo Group (As a tailor for the shadow ops, occasional formal wear, and an ops member in general. He was very proud of this work, and Kiriji adored commissioning formal wear from him. He couldn't tell them that, but, was being an employee so bad? Kirijo was trying to atone! She was an alright woman! He knew her!) They spat on him and started to yell at him about the atrocities they'd commit on the land they sold them, and on the land they took. Tatsumi Port Island-- the gigantic island they'd built with local Iwatodai resources to commit crimes out of Iwatodai police jurisdiction. One of the cousins got apathy syndrome and never recovered. They'd find strange glowing crystals in the woods, and android body parts would wash up on the shoreline. When their lab blew up, the commotion took out moonlight bridge-- the only way to get off and on the island. Iwatodai locals had trouble getting home, and for a while, Inspectors or oversight personnel couldn't get onto the Island to see exactly what they were doing over there.
Kanji trippled down on taking commissions from the Kirijo group, and they pushed him down and almost cut off his pinky! On top of that, one of his cousins ran in the door AT THAT MOMENT and announced that Kanji had rolled up with a cop-- and they were around the corner, armed. Kanji had asked Naoto to for moral support. Naoto who knew self defense, and knew just how dangerous this was, and had come despite the risks. Kanji was brutalized and thrown out the front door. Out on the lawn, got pissed off and threw a chair through the Tatsumi estate's large window, and that's when they pulled out the guns. Naoto came through and Kanji jumped in the car, and they sped off with their lives. When they were far enough from the situation to pull over and process what'd happened, Kanji cried. Just lost it from the stress. A hopeful meeting with his biological father almost got him killed, and he'd have that scar on his pinky to remind him how his family did him upon meeting him. Also, they took Naoto's wallet, and tossed it back to them without the ID. So they knew his address and identity now.
