[hider=Okita Providence] Basic Application: (Adjust as needed, feel free to use small images to enhance your app) Name: Okita Providence House Seal (Called a Tamgha): WIP Current Ruler: Tenno Sayaka Kasimoto, an elderly woman constantly on the verge of death, has a close relationship with the merchant clans of Okita. While hardly mobile Sayaka is as sharp as ever due to an understanding of Dynama, she could be said to be in a persistent meditative state. Influential People: WIP Siddha Rei Tanoshimi: a controversal but accompished Dynama monk who seeks immortality and the spread of knowledge across Kaidu. She is seen by some as overly optimistic or even delusional. She took over the merchant clan Ayame after the death of its founder. Takei Tanaka: The Shadowy leader of the Tanaka merchant family. Oren Teresa: a foreign Noble of considerable wealth who dreams of revolutionizing Kaidu. He is quite eccentric. Faction Description: Okita is a progressive but powerhungry nation, Home to a large school of Dynama monks and a nexus for trade in Kaidu. Powerful Merchant clans wield power on par with the government selling foreign steam technology and Native Dynama knowledge to the people. The machines of foreign lands have reduced the work load of the common people, more and more people are moving into the great city of Bei Shinai. Some find a new life, others find poverty. Widespread knowledge of (very basic) Dynama has changed society in stranger ways with many people interacting with invisible intangible kami more than they interact with humanity, some people just sit on the street and meditate oblivious to the environment around them. Area Of Influence:[img]http://i.imgur.com/L3NXVSz.jpg[/img] Territory Description: WIP Military Forces:WIP Okita has a small army relative to its size, Clans of warriors who have sworn fealty to either the Okita throne or to one of the Merchant clans. Okita has a small navy, enough to deal with pirates but not really fit for a naval war. While the army is relatively small it has access to Dynama, The wind on the battlefield tends to favor the arrows of Okitan archers and Samurai communicate with spirits to gain useful tactical information while sorcerers perform more esoteric tasks Other: Add sections as you need them.
