The First Brother

Hey all!  Announcing my newest project, The First Brother.  This is a fairly drastic change thematically from my other two projects, though I admit that at this point I'm probably going to drop Cain and Lucifer at this point.  I like the start, but I really have no idea where I'm going to go with it from here.

Thematically, The First Brother gets much of its inspiration from both the classic westerns and Japanese Anime and Manga.  Its plot follows Ichiro Itano (or more correctly Itano Ichiro, if you put the family name first).  Ichiro is given up by his parents at the age of ten with ten other boys to be trained to serve as the body-guard/assassin to a mob boss.  However, Ichiro soon learns that his leader is no ordinary mobster, and his service will soon test him in ways he never imagined.
