Years later, cooperation between them had flourish but, the clans were still divided so after the arrival of mercenaries from the sea and air, they assassinated all who opposed their rule and assimilated the clans into their rule.

[hider=History] [hider=Kilamura, Hoji Era (1947-1986)] The Clan started when the nukes drop in 1945 in Kyoto and Tokyo devastating the imperial faction hold on the nation. People like Hoji Kilamura, have seized the moment in order to rise up into power. Rallying and turning the people in his homeland against imperial control, and take up arms to make their own nation and unite the country under their rule. Being known as the gateway to the west, Hoji and his fellow insurgents quickly opened talks with representatives from an unknown organization in order to acquire arms and equipment for their goal of unification. Acquiring numerous modern and futuristic weaponry for their rebellion, after a few years of preparations, the first steps of liberation happened as Hoji men and some mercenaries raided a convoy that was going to reinforce the sieged garrison of Nagasaki from two upstart warlords in the region. Gathering weapons and materials in order to reclaim Kagoshima. After careful chosen skirmishes they were able to liberate Kagoshima from imperial loyalist. After this victory, Hoji started shaping his fledgling nation. The first policy, he had made was the establishment of Proto-Christianity as the official religion. A religion where it is like the faith of European but, vastly militarized. A religion that worship the Christian god but, religious leaders are military leaders with the ruler of the state being known as the Papal emperor. The Shinto purge soon after happened, where special agents started assassinating religious leaders and anyone that challenged the rule Hoji and his men, and burning down numerous temples and holy sites and converting them into places of worship for the Proto-Christians. Driving out Shinto and other religious practitioner out of Kagoshima. Kagoshima castle was turned into a seat of power for the papal emperor. After this first reform he started increasing the production capabilities of his clan and doubling the military of his army. While pumping his people with propaganda about the discrimination of Christian Japanese by the imperials. Soon, he and his men started advancing to Ibuki and Makurazaki to secure the southern border. Securing victory, in the span of two years (1951). Several talented members like Shiku and Tonzen joined his clan in a bid to claim the southern part of japan. Doing the same thing with Kagoshima the papal emperor purge and burned numerous temples that wasn’t his enraging the surrounding daimyos, regents, and chamberlains in the surroundings. As several news of violent massacres was spread and the defiling of temple towns, paved the way for a unified coalition against them. After alot of numerous engagement, the largest banzai charged occurred when the Hoji clan clashed between the anti-Hoji coalition resulting into a costly Hoji victory. In an attempt to capture the newly constructed Proto-castle of Shiku that divides Kagoshima with Kanoya. The battle resulted in the routing of the coalition forces, destroying their armies in one go. Paving the way for Hoji forces to capture the Kanoya and Shibushi. This victory ensured that the southern part of japan was under his divine control. And the great Shinto purge happened afterwards, as the surviving leaders of faiths heads, were pin outside their temples, before it was burned down to the ground. After a lot of nights whole neighborhoods were abandoned or turned to ghost towns as its inhabitants disappeared without a trace. Because of the damage to the economy and the backlash of the reforms that implemented was too much, he focused on governing and finally settled down. He was happy as he finally built a place for Christianity in japan and soon married a catholic woman named Ibuki Ikamura, the sister of his closest friend Neji Ikamura. (1960) Which soon gave birth to his children Tetma Hoji, Tetjo Hoji, and Takimura Hoji in 1965. Tetma Hoji was blessed with beauty and intelligence. While Tetjo was blessed with cunningness and foresight, while Takimura was full of energy and brimming with life. Out of the three Tetma was the one that the people idolized, seeing the desire for her to rule as rumors of her having divine rule and authority. Tenma Hoji being the oldest and the most beloved out of all the siblings. Would soon be known as the great Papal Empress, the people loved her as she was believed to be the avatar of the Virgin Mary. Though she had never agreed to, despite her greatest efforts she quickly gotten a cult following, and being hailed as one of the first saints of the proto religion. From an early age Tenma was given the best education that her father could get her, quickly enrolling her to one of the small but, present legacy academy in the prefecture. Soon, after her upstart brothers were also trained to be war-priest so that they can help lead the clan with her sister. The brothers first got a taste of warfare when the Hangi castle in 1972 was attacked by the Nagiro clan that occupies the north. The boys where still not of age as shells landed on the mighty walls of the castle, and with it being not properly equipped, the enemy was free to hit it from afar. Helpless and outrange the defenders hunker down with the hope that the reinforcements get there in time. Getting word of the attacked Kilamura quickly called for his forces and rush to give aid. But, it was until three days until they arrived. Which by the time they got there the castle walls, were barely standing and with the command structure, was no longer standing. Aside from that the enemy had already encircled the castle. Still busy with the structure the enemy hasn’t discovered the reinforcement until a small group of APC rammed themselves into the rear of one of their units quickly craving a way to the fortifications and catching them in surprise. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the gates were lowered as the defenders rallied and charged into the enemy. And with them were the promising new recruits, as children that were still not at 13 years of age charged into the enemy. Impaling them with their bayonets, while some weren’t as lucky as they were quickly overpowered and found themselves at the receiving end, unfortunately one of them was Tetjo. Fortunately, the young master lived but, at the cost of his left eye and his left ear. After the enemy was routed, they counted the dead and found out that more then a hundred of the children was dead. And the chambermaid of the castle was later found crushed under the rubble of his once mighty castle. The event was a dark strain in the new nations history, vowing to capture Nagasaki and the first church. As Tv stations broadcast about the 26 martyrs and the persecutions of Catholics by the shogunate and the imperial throne. And in time they shall, as the engines of war starts pumping, as public support and volunteers started flocking to the army as the desire for revenge skyrocketed. But, since Legacy started building the Academy city in Nagasaki. Kilamura talked with Legacy on the sidelines as they wished to not severe their relationship with their attack. Ending with securing the help and support of legacy. Against’ the Nagiro clan, and in January 15, 1982 The Hoji marched from Ichikikushikino to Nagasaki, with a combined total of 100,000 troops bulldozing though most of the fortifications as several sabotage attempts, resulted in enemy artilleries virtually useless, as the army marched unopposed to Nagasaki where they forced themselves inside killing most of the defenders and the royal members of the Nagiro clan. After the campaign, Kilamura appointed his daughter as the Papal Empress in 1986 and his sons have finally started getting their own men. With Tetjo being assigned at Nagasaki while his brother Takimura in Izumi. [/hider] [hider=Tenma Hoji Era (1986-present)] The first of the policies that she did was to improve the infrastructure and making sure that the agricultural sectors benefit with the technology that legacy seem to be giving them in an attempt to mend relations. And to make sure that the gates to japan remains open, one of these are the renown solar roadways that Nagasaki and Kagoshima. In 1999 the first attempt of the imperials in opening diplomacy as she was invited to the peace accords but, it did nothing as the talks brought nothing but, imperial agenda and favoriting for isolation. Things that her nation has no love for such policies, going back to her nation she improved the ports as an insult to the imperials making it easier for the foreigners to enter their ports. In 2005 a large influx of recruits was now part of the army as they started their expansion as the men of Tetjo marched over and capture the city of Saga, Sasebo, and Hirado. While Takimura started marching his men to Minamata, Ashikita, Hitoyoshi, Ebino, Taragi, and Asagire. While the Papal Empress assaulted Kobayashi, Miyakonojo, Kushima, and Nichinan. In 2010 they continued expanding, until Miyazaki, Fukuoka and Kumamoto 80 percent close to occupying all of the southern region until, the gate opened in Nagasaki and with-it millions of greenies appeared. Destroying the progress and work that they did as they smash their way to the already tired soldiers of Tetjo. And was forced to retreat and try to contain the numerous cities in Saga, and with the other smaller gates opened creating chaos to the clan. And it became especially worst as communications were severed, destroying the organization of the armies fragmenting and scattering them. Tetjo started fortifying his positions from the enemy, while his brother tried to protect as much as he can, and Tenma wiped out as much orcs from her lands as possible. They held until, communications with legacy opened and with them several a small force flew from the seas, mercenaries came from inside of the airships. With them a small company of soldiers with the logo of the black mountains. With them they cleared out as much, and imprison what they can. Locking them up in container vans and other various locations. The three after reuniting in Saga hatched a planned to quell the green horde by, building series of walls that flows out of the south and into the mainland. Though met with a lot of problem the first ones were up and the fortifications with them. Herding the herd across Saga but, because of the terrain the walls was delayed causing more loses. Pleading to the remaining clans for help they were able to get material, equipment, and manpower to finish the project. Soon, the horde was flowing to the main land and the south faced fewer, giving the time to rebuild. Seeing that the Tanks weren’t useful, against the enemy, mde them seek out a new weapon against them, which Legacy provided project Black Gear. After getting some time to reorganize the clan started scrapping their tanks and vehicles in favor for the new weapon, and soon once dead factories started turning filling the sky with black fumes. The Hoji started powering up their agricultural centers. Soon, their power has been cemented in the south before the Imperials noticed.

Trained at an early age in the ways of warfare, Tenma became a natural tactician and a natural leader. But, because not having too much combat experience she tends to underestimate her enemies or overestimate her enemies in times. Abit estatic at times she is often unpredictable in the battle field. [img][/img] [/hider] [hider=Tetjo Hoji] Tetjo Hoji one of the war priest of the hoji clan, Tetjo learnt the how unforgiving the battlefield is when he lost his eye and ear one day from an enemy surprise attack. Because of this experience, He had never been comprising and merciful to his enemies and will use overwhelming force in the battlefield if demanded to. His actions have given birth to one of the most elite units, that have showed no remorse and will follows any orders whatever it may be. [/hider] [hider=Takimura Hoji] [img][/img] Takimura Hoji was also a war priest but, was more forgiving then Tetjo. Believing that his enemies could one day be his allies and preferred to settle down and let his enemies come to him. Setting up defenses and artillery emplacements. [/hider] [/hider]
