Ryuichi Clan

"We may be an upper class family but we are also are proud and hard edged warriors that a mere under folk would not want to anger."

- Natsuki Ryuichi The Ryuichi Clan is an upper class family within the Kingdom of Mistral that have existed on the continent of Anima for a long amount of time. The clan is well known for being heavily based on combat, resulting in their clan members becoming warriors in battle.

Overview
Despite being an upper class family, the Ryuichi Clan are only known by their focus on training it's members to become equipped for battle. The clan see battling as important in order to keep their image as a battle hardened family to the people of Remnant. It is not as focused on the arts as some families within Mistral but it does try to participate in such activities. It's upper class status makes the clan incredibly powerful within the Kingdom of Mistral and gives them a lot of influence.

It's focus on being a combat focused clan makes the clan appear almost lower class from the perspective of most other upper classes as fighting is seen as barbaric. However, the Ryuichi Clan are able to keep an upper class appearance due to their wealth and fascination for nature and art.

The Ryuichi Clan also have an alliance with the Harlequin Blacksmiths for their ability to craft weapons that the Ryuichi Clan use.

History
Centuries before the Great War, Sakumaru Ryuichi had become a very well known warrior throughout Remnant due to his experience in taking out many different kinds of Grimm and being able to try and find all types of Grimm. Due to his fame on Mistral, this led to him being seen as a legend. After a while, Sakumaru had married a woman who was a warrior herself and the couple ended up training their children to become warriors too, leading to Sakumaru deciding to create a clan. Decades later, Sakumaru's grandchildren ended up becoming warriors leading to the Ryuichi clan gaining more notoriety which led to their massive success in Mistral.

During the Great War, the Ryuichi Clan took part and were very notorious for being heavily dangerous during fights. They were also sometimes helpful to defend other villages from Grimm attacks and any bandits coming to take advantage of the situation. Members of the clan that were stationed in Vacuo were taken out by the King of Vale's army which angered the family but could not fight back as ultimately the Great War had ended.

Twenty years after the Great War was when the Ryuichi Clan became revoluntionised. Midori Ryuichi had gained fame as a Huntress and became known as a Sairyō Ryōshi in Remnant. Her weapon, known as Doom Fury, was a light machine gun which was different to how the Ryuichi Clan mainly used swords. Her marriage with a man outside of the Kingdom Mistral encouraged the family to go off to different parts of Remnant to gain new experiences. It was at this point, members of the clan started to do individual things with weaponry by using more extravagant weapons such as a sniper rifle or a spike ball.

Noticing the rise of the Harlequin Blacksmiths, the Ryuichi Clan's leader, Kitsuki Ryuichi, had made a deal withe CEO of the Harlequin Blacksmiths to protect the company whilst receiving bonuses on their weaponry.
