Irradiated Usuho
Utsuho REIUJI's job is to regulate the flames of the Hell of Blazing Fires. She's using Nuclear fusion to achieve that though.... While in-game it doesn't bother many people, I wanted to imagine what it would be once she got that power...indeed she would be the wielder of a great source of energy, but at the same time, her fate would be sealed: in a matter of weeks, if not days, she would die of massive radiations....
She would have horrible headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, her organs ceasing functionning in a matter of hours or days. She'd suffer from intense burns, and would lose nails, teeth, feathers hair quite quickly. She would have a massive internal hemorragia, nose-bleeding and coughing blood in the process.... In fact, I do think she would die in less than a week, of a death that you wouldn't even wish for your worst ennemies.
Quite a poor ending for someone as lively as her... With her Master Satori and friend Orin mourning for her last moments...
...
Guess I should wish you a good day after that?
