They should have made a few bond missions with disguises.

I like them all but the Blade Twin would have been her veiled vow if they were a option!

Been playing Rise of the Ronin lately. I'm trying to not just stick to drawing characters in a void but as with anything it takes ages to do full backgrounds. In this instance I was happy to include in game elements to give this a sense of place.

vividblaze was gracious enough to translate u_ky21's veiled edge intro template, so i went and filled it out 🙏 i'm adding more fun facts under the cut that didn't have anywhere to go 😁

"ao" and "kuro" are not their birth names. kuro was the one who named them both after the shogunate destroyed their village. and yes he picked based on eye color.

after the game, into the meiji period, they adopt the names Katsu Aoki (勝 青木) and Aoki Kuronosuke (青木 黒之介), respectively. Yes, they make fun of each of their new names a lot.

ao is mixed (japanese mother, foreign father). his mother used to work in nagasaki before running back home once she discovered she was pregnant, then died due to complications during birth. the mother's side of the family was quite destitute, and could not provide adequate support for him. (and even if they could, they would not.) he was given the bare minimum for a human being, and did not receive much education whether informal or not, so he missed many developmental milestones. kuro was not aware of his existence until after the shogunate's attack, where he found him hiding in some stables.

kuro's family was equally dealing with hard times, but given how many of his siblings had perished before him, he was treated much better than ao. if you asked him, he would not be able to recall the names or faces of the people from his family.

ao's proficiency with the spear was at kuro's recommendation, because he was very short and thus having a longer weapon would make up for his lack of reach.

kuro has very Weird feelings towards ryoma that he doesn't like to think about. ultimately, he is grateful that such a guy was able to be there for ao in his stead during the events of the game. this is also a source of jealousy for him, but again, he doesn't like to think about it.

When your warrior training didn't include how to survive social interactions like a normal person.

Been wanting to fill this out for my own Veiled Edges. The original template is by @/u_ky21 on Twitter (link)

Translated templates under the cut for anybody interested!

The left one is for whoever you designated as "Veiled Edge 1" and the right one is for "Veiled Edge 2"
