Ryota Okazaki's Links
Yakov is an acquaintance. They only know each other through Ryota's previous crime group relations. He would get hired by Yakov to take out people who refuse to pay owed money. They don't really know each other personally.
Ryota was just a business-related acquaintance that he’d seen around. Yakov would hire him and his group to take down any politicians and law enforcement workers that either can’t pay up their hush money in time or refuse to pay hush money and aren’t that threatened by the hush money and the blackmail material that he’ll usually dig up on them. He doesn’t really know or care to know Ryota as a person. He’s a forgettable face.
Skipper is a former student that Ryota used to teach about how to operate within the loans shark mafia group that they used to be part of. He’s also someone that Ryota could consider to be a young friend. After Skipper tried to ditch the group, even with Ryota tried to warn him of the dangerous consequences that came with that, Ryota decided to just roll his eyes, shake his head, and help Skipper out anyway when it seemed like Skipper was still determined to leave. They barely managed to escape alive from their organization and have now settled down to setting up and managing a modest plant house store. Skipper helps water all of the plants there. And to this day, Ryota's still in contact with Skipper and considers him to be someone that he can trust and talk to comfortably.

Cannoli is Ryota's precious Anosia Dragon. He picked up Cannoli when Ryota took out the original tyrant leader of his old crime group. He was the old leader's petpet, but since the guy's dead, Ryota took him in. He didn't know his original name, so he just named him Cannoli.
Ryota is Cannoli's owner! He loves him. He feeds him.
Tony is one of the leaders from his old crime group. Ryota helped along with taking down the tyrant that led the organization. They're on good terms. They go a long way back.

Jiro is an old friend of Ryota's. They met during high school. They weren't classmates since Ryota was a senior when Jiro was a sophomore, but they were in the same book club together. They had the same book taste in common, so they hit it off really well. They stopped talking after Ryota graduated, so it was a big surprise when they met each other again through their occupation. An illegal weapons man and a hitman. Ryota was in need of weapons for a hit. They still got along, even after the years. They talk sparsely, considering they were in different regions and especially so Ryota is retired now.

They stopped talking once Ryota graduated from high school, but it was such a big surprise when they met again through their occupation. An illegal weapons man and a hitman. Ryota was in need of weapons for a hit. They still got along, even after the years. They talk sparsely, considering they were in different regions and especially so Ryota is retired now.
Sachio is Ryota's dearest daughter. He's extremely protective of her. He loves her to bits, and he will do anything for her! He doesn't realize he's accidentally raising her to be spoiled. He does teach her things way too advanced for her age, like words too complicated for a 2 year old.
Bapa!! eee
Arjin is an ex-associate of Ryota's. Though, they're still pretty close friends. They first met when Ryota was in the assassination group and he got injured a lot, Arjin was the medic he first came to. They got along from then!
Ryota is an ex-associate of Arjin's, though they're still pretty close friends to this day. They first met back at the assassination group that Arjin still works at. Ryota was a rookie when they had first crossed paths. They learned to get along better with each other from there.
Psai is his beloved wife. Initially, their first encounter was a rather silly one. Ryota's friend, Arjin, was trying to get Ryota to find a date. Ryota didn't think it was a good idea. While they were bickering about that, they got into a minor car accident with Psai. Psai first thought they were playing a joke on her, considering how much they're bickering. Arjin was suggesting for Ryota to ask her out while Ryota was denying it. Ryota felt bad about the misunderstanding so the next time he saw her, he was willing to ask her out, though he had no intention of going on on another date. He ended up liking her company a little bit more than he thought, but that only made him feel conflicted considering he already felt like he was developing feelings for someone else too. He decided to be transparent and tell Psai this, considering he didn't feel right trying to hide it. She was more than fine with it, and she was even willing to meet this someone. To his surprise, Isa and Psai already knew each other. So from there, it was a lot more smooth sailing despite how careful and nervous Ryota gets about romance. They all agreed to avoid marriage gems in exchange for rings. To this day, they both live happily with Psai and their kids. Currently, Ryota cares a great deal for Psai and it’ll stay that way for the rest of their days to come.

Gio is Ryota's student. The first met since he's friends with his nephew, Rohan. He knows Gio has bad behavior and he doesn't want it rubbing off Rohan so he kept a close eye on the kid. He isn't as bad as Ryota thought he was, which made him trust the kid a little bit more. Though, he did find out about his bad living conditions. Ryota felt bad for Gio, so he helped him out of it. He's not much of a guardian for Gio, though he is a teacher since Ryota's trying to train Gio on self defense.
Ryota is his teacher. They first met since he's Rohan's uncle. Ryota was aware of the fact that Gio was problematic and he didn't want his behaviors to influence Rohan too much, so he kept a close eye on the kid. He isn't as bad as Ryota thought he was, which made him trust Gio a little bit more. Though, shortly after he did find out about his bad living conditions, Ryota felt bad for Gio. He decided to try lending a helping hand afterwards. He's not much of a guardian figure for Gio, though he is his teacher since Ryota's trying to train Gio in the arts of self defense.
His small nephew. He acts as a secondary guardian for him along side his adoptive father, Arjin. He finds him to be precious and he has to be protected no matter what.
Ryota is his uncle. He acts as a secondary guardian for him alongside his adoptive dad Arjin. He's a great and reliable adult figure, a strong and protective guy.
Kazuya is a little shit and Ryota can't help but deeply dislike him. Ryota has a tendency to be patient with kids, but there's just something about Kazuya that he really hates. By something, it's the fact that Kazuya would hurt and bully his children. The kid wouldn't even feel bad about it, he would even come back and do it again if given the chance. So yeah, Ryota doesn't like him.
Isa is his husband. For the longest time, Isa was a rival in Ryota's eyes. They both work as assassins for different groups, but they would still end up running into each other sometimes. When Ryota was younger, he used to be a lot more hellbent on one-upping Isa for the sake of his own ego, but he gradually became less interested in trying so hard to be better. They would be on good terms for a while. Once Ryota retired though, Isa took this opportunity to check on Ryota a little bit more so. Whether it be at home or when Ryota's at his greenhouse. Ryota would appreciate his presence more and more, especially their casual chats. From there they would date. Ryota does introduce him to Psai as well, but to his surprise, Isa and Psai already knew each other. So from there, it was a lot more smooth sailing despite how careful and nervous Ryota gets about romance. They all agreed to avoid marriage gems in exchange for rings. To this day, they both live happily with Psai and their kids.

Sebastián is an acquaintance of Ryota's, from when he used to come to Jiro for weapons. He would provide casual chatter for Sebastián, a nice break from Jiro's insane ramblings. Sebastian is good in Ryota's eyes.
Ryota was a big relief when Seb first started working under Jiro. As much as his rambling about plants and other things could seem annoying, Seb was just happy to hear anyone other than Jiro talk for once. Even if he didn't understand how Seb thought the toxic gasses were finally getting to Jiro's head.
Ryota knows Rampel as Abel's assistant. He didn't really personally know him too well, and most of their interactions are purely business. He does think Rampel is quite pleasant, though. A lot more pleasant than any of Rampel's bosses. Ryota only thinks Rampel is dead now, since he hasn't seen him in over a decade.
Rampel knows Ryota through his old boss, then through Abel. His interactions were mostly through business, however, he never thought ill of Ryota. He liked small talk with him. Now he doesn't know much of him, especially after being taken by Cain. But he does hope he's well.
Ryota doesn't like Cain. It's not as if he's done anything to Ryota personally. All of their encounters were nothing but business, and he was usually on Cain's side. Though, what he finds unnerving about him is the fact that Ryota knew Cain's brother, Abel. He knew Abel as a bit of a scary man with plenty of power, and for Cain to simply take that in a short matter of time? That's something Ryota doesn't want to be on the opposing side of.
Cain sees Ryota as a very skilled man! When Ryota was still in the trade, they would often cross paths. They're all mostly business encounters. Cain is a little disappointed that he's retired, though. It's a bit of a waste, he thinks.
thanks for the baby
co worker! friend! takes care of my baby while I live on the road of widowhood
Ryota is one of Asumi's parents. Ryota's the parent that cracks down on Asumi's shenanigans the most. When he gets scolded, that's when they butt heads the most. Despite that, he still does care for his dad (as much as Asumi sees him as a tightass).
