* BadassFamily: A lot of Isuke's scenario drafts revolve around Hiryu's lineage, and it's a doozy alright, starting with a split in the family when Aya, the HeirToTheDojo, and Shii, Aya's yonger sister, were born in the later half of the 19th century:
** Aya herself played a pivotal role in Russia's defeat against Japan during the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, where she sabotaged Russia's entire Baltic Fleet. The result of this mission raised Aya and her descedants into becoming one of the most prestigious families in the Striders.

** Tsukiyo's daughter, Namikage, perfected her mother's Iaijutsu skills to the point that she was said to be so fast that she could "shatter light as if it were glass." That said, Tsukiyo's primary field of experise wasn't physical battle, it was negotiation and intelligence warfare: During the Cold War she managed the disemination of on-site KGB agents across Europe and, after the war, indulged in battles of wits and pursued to beat both the CIA and the British Secret Intelligence Service ([=MI6=]) at interpersonal negotiations. Following Kozue's death, the main branch family temporarily passed the title of family head to Namikage and assigned her the tutorship of Kozue's son, Katsu.
** Katsu was Kozue's son and Aya's descendant. Unknown to the main branch family, Namikage held deep resentment for the organization's traditional system, blaming it for how her mother and grandmother were never allowed to prove themselves. As a result, when she became Katsu's teacher, Namikage started sending Katsu into suicide missions, expecting him to die... He never did... During Namikage's time engaging in negotiations, Katsu became her secret escort where he provided a vital assistance to Namikage's negotiation skills: Katsu's presence hidden in the shadows would wear down on Namikage's opponents until their determination faltered and they broke down, allowing Namikage to win their disputes... Namikage would eventually put her resentment behind her and, as their feelings for each other grew stronger, she and Katsu would in time have a daughter, Shouko.
** Shouko was blessed with TheGift, surpassed her father at age 12 and mastered her mother's Iaijutsu technique. She had innate battle instincts and could reflexively respond to an enemy’s hostility before they could even reveal their weapon. Unfortunately, this talent -- coupled with the fact that she was born at a time when the Striders organization was losing its authoritative power -- lead Shouko to become an ArrogantKungFuGirl and an incorrigable ThrillSeeker who eventually abandoned the organization for a life of self-fulfillment. She eventually died in an accident while having a chicken race against a low-ranking Yakuza, leaving her daughter, Midori, to fend for herself... and, oh boy, did she ever...
** Midori, Hiryu's grandmother, was trained away from the Striders by a defector known as Suegami. During this time she developed the climb sickle, which would later become a staple tool for the Striders. Then, in the summer of 2006, at 22 years of age, Midori declared war against Japan. She single-handledly destroyed all ports and harbors, airports and other flying facilities, bridges, railroad tracks, traffic routes, and by taking down distribution networks and almost all means of communications she effectively isolated the island. When the Japanese Self-Defense Force and the American army joined forces to stop her, she took them down at each location and followed them into their bases, strategically eliminating entire army sites. She defeated the Self-Defense Force on all fronts, forced the American army to withdraw off the island and almost entirely obliterated Japan's functions as a country. Kuramoto, the leader of the Striders, took advatange of this event as propaganda, as Midori has proved that a single Strider can cripple an entire nation, while at the same time denouncing her actions and signing the Striders up for assisting in her capture. Midori would have a daughter, Shusui, two years after the incident, and the two would remain on the run from pursuers until the year 2024, when Midori died fighting Kuramoto.
** Following her mother's death at the hands of Kuramoto, Shusui would join the Striders on the condition that she would be allowed to retain her autonomy: she'd only answer when given an order, and she wanted her mother's lineage to be trained only by her and her descendants, seeing her mother's bloodline as too different from the Striders. A year later, Shusui had already become adept at wielding both the recently-developed Cypher and the sickle and not long thereafter she achieved enlightenment. In 2031, Shusui gave birth to Hiryu, and two years later she had a daughter. For reasons unknown, Shusui eventually handed Hiryu over to be trained by Kuramoto... and the rest is history.
