She does not hold it against those who struck up against him, nor is she against those who worked with him, despite her thoughts on them being dishonorable. However, she is not exactly best friends with the one who killed her father. [b]Loyalty During the Rebellion:[/b] Koritomo took no side, instead she opted to remain neutral as she did not Agree with her father, but she had no desire to fight against him.

[b]Godly Equipment:[/b] List what you have here, and what it does. [b]Demi Gods:[/b] None [b]Name of your Land:[/b] Hindogan [b]Lands:[/b] Flora, Fauna, Geography. Whats the land like where you live. [b]People:[/b] Similar to the people of Feudal Japan, those of Hindogen believe heavily in Honor and tenants of Bushido. [b]Culture:[/b] Cast system is in place: [list] [*] Koritomo (Avatar as well) [*] Emperor/Empress [*] Samurai [*] Farmers [*] Artisan [*] Merchants [*] Eta [/list] Tenants of Bushido: [list] [*] Honor [*] Duty [*] Compassion [*] Courage [*] Sincerity [*] Honesty [*] Courtesy [/list] The samurai, members of a powerful military caste in feudal Hinodegan, began as provincial warriors before rising to power in the 12th century with the beginning of the country’s first military dictatorship, known as the shogunate. As servants of the daimyos, or great lords, the samurai backed up the authority of the shogun and gave him power over the mikado (emperor). The samurai would dominate Hinodegani government and society until the Meiji Restoration of 1868 led to the abolition of the feudal system. Despite being deprived of their traditional privileges, many of the samurai would enter the elite ranks of politics and industry in modern Hinodegan. More importantly, the traditional samurai code of honor, discipline and morality known as bushido–or “the way of the warrior”–was revived and made the basic code of conduct for much of Hinodegani society. Within the Samurai Cast there are three types, the Bushi, the Shugenja and the Courtier. Bushi are the Warriors that focus on physical combat, they are the armed warrior cast that wear armor and train with a variety of weapons. They focus heavily on martial arts as well as Tactics of Battle depending on their Dojos. Some focus on personal combat and others focus more on the battle tactics that assist with Armies and mass combat. What holds them together is Bushido. Shugenja are the Priests, those that call upon the elemental Kami with prayers asking to borrow their power to fight. They do not usually wear armor and are not known for carrying weapons, though some learn to use their bodies as weapons should it be needed, as well as a War Fan for defense. Their ‘spells’ rely heavily on the Kami agreeing to their requests and even if it is agreed, the power is only allowed for a certain amount of time dependent on the spell used. While they too follow the way of Bushido, they are far more intune with the minor gods within their lands. Courtiers are the final group within the Samurai cast, though they do not fight and when challenged to a duel they select a champion. These individuals deal with the politics of court, arguing on behalf of their lord or the betterment of the country as a whole. Despite them not being fighters, they are just as important as the rest, as Court is a battle all its own. [b]Technology:[/b] The Samurai of Handogen utilize a variety of weapons favoring the Bow, Spear, Matchlock and the sword. Their armor is typically made of bands of steel plates that are bounded and shaped to the individual and then attached via rawhide or silk cord to a silk or rawhide backplate and worn over tough, usually, cotton or wool clothing. The entire armor is intentionally rigged with quick release strings in order to remove certain parts quickly to make drawing a bow easily or incase they need to swim. [b]Capital:[/b] [hider=Koritomo’s Home in the Capital][img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Himeji_Castle_Keep_Tower_after_restoration_2015.jpg/1200px-Himeji_Castle_Keep_Tower_after_restoration_2015.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Toshi no hi][img]https://wallpapers.wallhaven.cc/wallpapers/full/wallhaven-433376.png[/img][/hider] Toshi no Hi (City of Fire) earned its name thanks to the vibrant red color of the buildings within the city. [b]Beings:[/b] [list] [*] Kami: Elemental Spirits called upon by the Shugenja through prayer for their spells. They are Benevolent and help those who call upon them as long as their reasons are just. [*] Spirits: These vary between Malevolent and Benevolent, some try to harm people while others try to help. These creatures are not prayed to, but often can bring good fortune to homes/families or bad fortune. [*] Eastern Dragons: [*] Fortunes: The Demi-Gods of the realm, these ‘gods’ are not Koritomo’s children, but ‘Gods’ allowed to reside in Hindogen with her blessings as long as they do not cause problems. The Two Fortunes are: [list] [*] Fortune of Honor Meiyo [*] Fortune of Battle Tactics Tatakai [/list] [*] Oni/Yokai: Yōkai are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons. They roam around Hindogen causing issues, but are held at bay and taken care of by the Samurai. Some are grotesque while others are dangerously beautiful. The Oni variants known to be demons, devils, ogres, or trolls. [/list] [/hider]
