(keep in mind this only follows the idea this is not a cannon of the original series) the world has always had the yin and yang of light and dark where their are omniogi otherwise known as demon killers that "protect" humans but no matter how you slice it demons are considered evil to all, now demons may not be saints and some will kill simply for the hell of it and seeing a weakling squirm under their meager power. however this clan does nothing of the sort, we are in fact the Kuroi tsubasa clan or black wing clan to put it simply. Other clans try to attack us and try to gain more ground to take away our fear but we of the kuroi tsubasa clan do not back down from fights if presented to us. We are a very well known clan although we have not put our name in the history book this clan will rise to be the greatest in the years to come however we lack the skill of those that have no clan to dedicate themselves to, that's when you all come in. today is a day of recruitment where prospective demons come to face off against the supreme commander of the kuroi tsubasa clan to prove your strength of course it is unlikely that someone would beat him but he gives points for trying to him it does not matter if they are part demon or somplelty as long as they show their strength to fight by his side and they exchange cups of loyalty with him and pledge themselves to his cause... [hider= the cs] name: age (think in either decades or centuries): demon form (prefer to have image but description works as well): human form (if applicable): personality: history: weapon(s) of choice: abilities (no more then two and within reason): your fear type (your fear is your inherit ability passed down from your family generations that bring fear to your enemy when you use it): cause for wanting to join: Other: [/hider] if you need help deciding what form to take [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legendary_creatures_from_Japan]Click Me[/url] [hider= gm's rules] 1. my word is law if you don't like it don't join 2. during a fight with another player the outcome of a battle should be discussed in ooc until agreement or I say otherwise 3. don't be an ass, if someone has a similar cs then don't copy them and come up with something else 4.

I am open to suggestion and ideas however do not think me a pushover, I will be considerate to your ideas and suggestions if done in a civilized manor [/hider] [hider=promotion rules] *when you join you will start off as recruits unless it is discussed with me and I approve. depending on how many members we get you will be in charge of a small squad of npcs and when a job is finished you will get points depending on different factors that will be determined by me. *the ranks are as follows: recruit (basic duties), member of night parade (you have gained leadership and renown and have been recognized to be a strong member of the night parade), personal aids to supreme commander (you will be with the supreme commander and help protect him with your lives), finally strike force leader (you have earned the right hand of the supreme commander and you will be commanding a squad of powerful demons when a night parade is summoned) *during each promotion you will get a small ceremony to your new rank although you wont be personally promoted by the commander unless you reach member of the night parade, when a ceremony is to take place you will wait for instructions by someone of higher rank (usually an npc) [/hider] [hider= universe terms] [1] Sakazuki (盃 Sakazuki?) is the term used for a pledge of loyalty made over an exchange of wine or sake. This pledge is taken very seriously, and is akin to a blood pledge, linking fellow yōkai of different families. A 50-50 portion division gives equal footing to both parties, and is considered a sakazuki of sworn brothers. A 70-30 portion division is a pledge of fealty between a boss and his subordinates, and requires a great amount of trust on the part of both parties. [2] Ikigimo (生き肝 Ikigimo?) is a term for when a person's liver is taken out while they are still alive. Many yōkai in Nurarihyon's time believed that by ingesting the life force (i.e. liver) of infants, priests/priestesses and noble persons, their strength would increase. Nurarihyon had his taken out. [3] Osore (畏 Osore?) is the term that denotes the unique skills and traits of each yōkai. It refers to the "Fear" of the unknown, an emotional reaction produced when the yōkai represent themselves as "monsters". It is especially important for leaders who wish to draw together gangs of yōkai. There are different types of "Fear" depending on the type of yōkai, such as water or ice. It also plays an important role in battles between yōkai, in which they must "scare one another". [4] Hatsu (鬼發 Hatsu?) is the first stage of activating "Fear", and is simply an attempt to scare an opponent by exerting a frightening aura. Those affected by "Manifestation" will experience an overwhelming sense of intimidation, and depending on their opponent's skills, may hallucinate. This aura produces a palpable wall of pressure in the atmosphere, and cutting through this tension to reach the enemy is an important part of yōkai combat. [5] Hyoui (鬼憑 Hyoui?) is the second stage of activating "Fear" used in yōkai battles. It is the process by which a yōkai materializes their "Fear" into an attack that can harm their enemy by severing their "Manifestation". Yōkai can produce a variety of attacks and techniques based on their type of "Fear". [/hider]
