Fallen Muse Where's my Obi Wan?

Member Seen 1 yr ago



Like a rotten log
half buried in the ground -
my life, which
has not flowered, comes
to this sad end.
-Minamoto Yorimasa


The Emperor is dead, and after 112 years of peace in Genkokujo the threat of war looms on the horizon. With the death of the Emperor and the lack of an heir, the Shogunate held by the Yoshitaka family keeps the peace between the many feudal Lords, however they all vie for power, and plot against the Shogunate and one another as they seek to rule themselves, or even the whole of Genkokujo as the new Imperial bloodline. The time for the Emperor’s funeral has come, and all the houses have gathered in the Capital City Ayari to celebrate his life, and death, as well as seek alliances, and recruit the many warriors and powerful beings that have gathered in the Capital during such a time. What shall become of Genkokujo? What will you do?




Welcome, to the world of Genkokujo, a world so very much like our own, but so very different! A world where humans live alongside supernatural beings, where duels are part of everyday life, where Honor, Bushido is the law of the land, where men and women live and die by the sword, the spear, the bow. Where one can befriend and Oni, or find themselves indebted to a Kitsune. Magic is as common as the sun shines, and though a beautiful sight it is not uncommon to see a dragon soaring through the sky.

In this roleplay you will be taking part in a vast political intrigue with a possible element of war that will loom ever closer as the roleplay progresses. You will be able to choose from several different roles all of which wll bring you intermingling and mixing with the other characters of the roleplay.

Roles and Factions.

Shogunate: You can play a variety of roles in the Shogunate varying from Metsuke, guards, retainers, spies and assassins.

Houses: You can make your own house or ask that I make one for you, at first there will be no houses except what the players make and I will fill in the empty spaces. There will be a total of 6 houses, and players can pick and choose to lead them or simply be a part of them, though if your character is simply a part of that house you will have to NPC your own lord if no one else is playing said leader.

Unattached Characters: You can play these but you will have to eventually be attached to something, kind of hard to pave your way through a political climate when you have nothing political to care for.

Other: If you have other ideas let me know! We can of course discuss anything.

Races:

Humans: Obviously humans are humans

Kitsune: The Fox demons yes you can play one! I’m allowing 2! But there’s only one slot left!

Tengu: Only allowing one tengu. Bird demons possibly protectors

Traditional Oni: Two of these are allowed!

Other Demons: Ask!

Dragons: One dragon is allowed and only one. Would have to be a traditional japanese style dragon no western.

Anything else just ask. Disclaimer all supernaturals that appear as large beasts etc must have a human form as well.

Any races can rule a household.

Appearance:


Name: Retsu Goroshi

Species: Human

Sex: Female

Faction: None

Occupation: Demon Hunter

Abilities: No magical abilities, but she has the knowledge and skill to create weapons capable of doing considerable harm to yokai and other supernatural creatures, though they're not notably more effective against humans or beasts.

History: Retsu was born the daughter of a blacksmith, assisting her father whenever she could as he had no sons or apprentices. He was no mere blacksmith however: he was a smith for the emperor himself. His most notably accomplishments involved a means of creating demon slaying weapons with entirely mundane materials. No need to hunt down other demons and use their parts, or to venture into treacherous territory to find a rare and limited resource. It was a secret that he only wanted to teach his son, but Retsu learned this technique by watching him. By the time she had a little brother, Retsu could create these demon slayer weapons herself.

However around this same time, Retsu's father was growing old. Too old to work, too old to teach his son how to create these weapons. He worried that this knowledge would never be passed on, not knowing that Retsu had already learned the technique. Out of desperation, he arranged to have Retsu married off so he could teach her husband these techniques and continue his legacy. But it was a trap; the man she was sent to marry was actually a demon is disguised. He wanted to kill Retsu's entire family to ensure that the mortals would never be able to stand up to demonkind. Retsu was able to survive, taking her little brother as her mother and father tried to distract the demon. They paid for it with their lives.

Alone, without a home or weapons, Retsu tried to flee towards a city to find help but she was harassed by the demon the entire time. During her escape her little brother ended up falling ill and died before she could reach the safety of a temple. With her entire family dead the flames of vengeance grew within Retsu. With the help of the temple monks who faked her death, Retsu was able to escape the demon who was hunting her down and returned to her home. Though ransacked and in ruins the forge still worked. The materials and tools were still there. So she forged herself a sword, cast bullets, and even created her own rifle and powder. She would hunt demons.

For the next few years Retsu hunted down all manner of demons and supernatural creatures, regardless if they were actually threatening anyone. She wanted to know where the demon who slew her family was. During her travels she discovered and nursed a dinosaur egg, which later hatched into a raptor. That raptor was Retsu's only family and companion in a long time, and she named him after her lost little brother: Ryo. Together they hunted down demons, even slain men who allied with them, all in pursuit of the one who slew her family.

With the death of the emperor Retsu has noticed a sharp rise in supernatural activity. No doubt desperate men would try to appeal to these supernatural powers for strength and guidance, offering everything they had for just a pittance. Retsu however wasn't going to let anyone benefit; she'd sooner see this world purged of all demons and monsters before she'd ever bow her head before them.

Probably a wip. I'm having trouble coming up with good specifics since I really don't know a lot about Japan or it's cultures.
