So, when/where do we start? I'm talking both plot-wise and real-life wise.

How many players are we waiting for? Where in-game are we going to start? Furthermore, I'm not great with Japanese history, so I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a crash course on who should be enemies with who based on clan allegiances. I'm pretty sure that the Sanadas weren't friends with the Odas, but beyond that I'm not so sure about anyone else.

I might wait for one or two players, but if nobody shows up, I'll go ahead and start. I might not be able to post tomorrow, depending on when I get there, because I need to go my brothers Navy Bootcamp Graduation. We also should all be either starting in Edo or the village that Nobunaga is planning on attacking. In the direction I'm going for, I'm sure everyone will be able to become included.

Name:Adachi Yorimasa

Clan: Adachi

Age:23

Gender:Male

Nationality:Japanese

Family: He has no known blood relatives as he was given to the temple as a newborn.

Relationship:None. As a Warrior Monk, he is not allowed any sort of relationships outside of friendly relations. Anything further is considered a disgrace to his practice.
Classification: Warrior Monk.

Weapon(s):Naginata, a japanese wooden spear, and a nodachi, an extremely long katana.

Personality: Calm in even the most tense moments, it’s rare to see him actually show much emotion at any moment. His monk upbringing however, causes him to be extremely polite to others. His sheltered life has made him dense to many things, and humor is likely to go over his head. Being a monk, he also likes to quote ancient proverbs and give advice. However, most of his advice is based on philosophy and not life experience.

Likes: Reading, Meditation, Spreading Buddhism, Helping others.

Dislikes: Those prone to violence, greed, and those who disrespect his choice of religion, Buddhism.

Strengths: Strong heavy blows, long reach with use of the spear and longsword.

Weaknesses: At extremely close ranges, he is at a disadvantage. His spear is useless, and his nodachi is close to uselessness at close range, as it is heavy and difficult to move the nodachi quickly. He also has very light armor, which would not last very long in a battle. Yorimasa is also very gullible- He puts too much faith in the “kind” souls. Claim to be doing some good and he will willingly help you.

Biography: At a young age, Yorimasa was given up by his birth parents to the monks of the local temple. And, as such, he was taught the ways of Buddhism. However, due to how even monks were targeted in times of war, they taught him how to use a blade and spear as well. Times were becoming more dangerous and the monks could not simply die due to their past ways of pacifists, so teaching these important combat skills was key to survival, and the monks made combat into an art form. And as they were under the protection of the Adachi clan, They had to expect to be drafted at anytime- The shogun had seen Warrior Monks in battle, and the shogun decided to use them as shock troops due to their combat prowess. Fortunately, that time never came for Yorimasa. When he was eighteen, Seeing that he was never drafted for the shogun’s army, the elders of the temple decided that Yorimasa would become a pilgrim- He would travel from town to town professing the Buddhist way. And so he left his humble beginnings, and has been living off food and shelter given to him by willing civilians. He has been traveling around for 5 years, preaching the Buddhist way.

During his travels, he has stopped in Edo, and has decided to spread his faith here as well, and has found an old derelict building that has become his humble abode.

Sounds good, though I would caution you to take a second look at ReaptheMusic's sheet. Reading over it again, it speaks more "I can do everything" than "ninja"

Even so, she DID put down some weaknesses that stop her from being a ninja. Most Princesses are even trained for most of these things anyways. Besides, if anyone goes overboard...they die.

um... I'm sorry for making such a displeasing character?
If you really looked into my character sheet... the first man she beheaded to prove her worth had a bastard sword, and that was where she got it. She does NOT use it for normal tactics, hence why I put down that is is an occaisional weapon, used mostly during one-on-one battles or against several opponents. She doesn't use it often, and GOD no she wouldn't use that as a shinobi. People have forgotten, Shinobis and ninjas are not what things like the anime 'Naruto' and Co. present them as. They are more slice-your-throat-as-you-sleep than attack you head on, and thats why they fell so often to the samurai. They lack in traditional melee.
For the sake of there being a war, I felt it necessary to give her a fighting chance. Does it displease you?

Thank you for accepting me ^^

Ninjas barely fought in direct combat in real life. They were more espionage than assassins as well, and they generally avoided combat. Just pointing that out.

I just want to point this out, but we're going to have constructive arguments. That's one of the rules. If you end up arguing for the sake of arguing, I'll kick you out of the rp.

I'd say this is definitely constructive criticism. I get where you're coming from, Reap, which is why I'm confused about what you're trying to do with this character. You're trying to go with ninja princess, which is fine, but you're trying to do warrior princess at the same time which really doesn't fit the dynamic. Either you attack from the shadows and slit people's throats or you attack them head-on: the former makes you a ninja and the latter makes you a warrior. I might suggest taking a different angle: try going with supernatural/mystical powers instead of raw combat ability. It'd fit the theme better and it'd make your character stand out more. We've got a bunch of people who can hack each other to bits with swords, but we don't have someone who can do cool mystical stuff and slashes throats.

Just because you aren't fighting doesn't mean that there's nothing for you to do. I get the distinct feeling that there's going to be a good bit of intrigue in this game, so having someone who's really good at finding out people's secrets would make you incredibly powerful. It would be a bad idea to attack your character because doing so risks having all of your secrets revealed. That's much more fitting for the ninja princess theme.

Personally, I have no problem whatsoever with the bastard sword. The fact that we have FUCKING Nobunaga makes me want to encourage the bastard sword, but to be honest, it's weird for a Shinobi(Or Kunoichi, in this case, considering it's a female ninja) to be wielding a bastard sword. The decision is up to you and the others. I don't mind you having it.

Speaking of supernatural powers, what's the word on that? Are we allowing them? Are we not? If so, how do they work?

Edited her to have a more.. 'mystical' approach and less of an actual warrior... Just changed the art of disguise to the art of transformation.

Well, what I mean by supernatural, I mean more mystical sort of things. Like spirits, I'm allowing Oni in the world to wreck havoc, dragons are around as benevolent beings, etc. As for powers and abilities, we'll bring that in later on.
