The age of Demons fearing Humans is over, and now the only thing left to do is to purge Japan of those that remain. [color=darkred][b]Or so you would think.[/b][/color] It is the dawn of the Shōwa period and with imperialism on the upswing the emperor has caught wind of the secret organization and wishes to assimilate them into the Imperial Japanese Army. The [i]Ubuyashiki Family[/i] wishes to retain the tradition of being independent of military control. Not only this, but a schism itself has formed within the Demon Slaying Corps itself. While there are many who with lasting grudges against demons for slaughtering their families and loves ones, there are some who believe that there may be a possibility that some of the remaining demons may not need to be slain. This divide within the corps has caused a schism between those who wish to fully eradicate the demons from this world, and those who wish to allow non-malevolent demons to live out the rest of their long-long life.[/sup][/color] [h3] The Dawn of a New Era [/h3] [hider=Prologue][sup][i]”[color=goldenrod]Execute it! I don’t care if he was licking boots on the curbside, he’s a damned demon! Let his blood soak the earth, and his ashes to wind.[/color][/i]” The Pillar of Storms spat in disgust as loomed above a young kneeling figures, face planted to the floor mats below. “[i]But sir, he was serving the family of his own accord. We still don’t know how he isn’t starved, but if what they say is true, he hasn’t killed a single person.[/i]” The brown-haired pupil sat next to the kneeling figure, looking up to his towering superior with concern. “[i][color=goldenrod]Get out of my sight. And take this thing with you, if I have to the look at it any longer I might end up beheading it on accident.[/color][/i]” The eldest Pillar grunted in response, making carefully sure not to meet eyes with his student nor the demon at his feet. “[i]Y-yes sir![/i]” The boy bowed to the Pillar and glanced towards the demon with sunken eyes, momentary sorrow, he had tried his best to spare its life. Things were out of his hands now, and as the student turned he would tug at the rope that held this demon’s bindings. As the pull woke the demon from his disassociation, he too stood, though his body remained low as if cowering in the large elderly man’s presence. That silver-gold saya had many stories about it, stories that made demons cower in fear, and he remembered them well. The demon boy’s eyes stuck to the ground and he quickly was led out of the temple by the Storm Pillar’s student. The two slowly made their way further and further from that terrible place, the student visibly seeming to feel more at ease as distance was drawn. “[i][color=black]I’m sorry that you had to deal with that.[/color][/i]” The demon quietly muttered, sights still aimed straight down as he was led by brown-hair. “[i]Don’t mind him, he’s always that way. I’m more concerned with you. If we can’t get any of the Pillars to to advocate for you, the execution will probably be tomorrow.[/i]” the student seemed a bit frantic with his words, he had been one of the few who had seen with his own eyes that demons were not all evil. “[i][color=black]At least it will be quick. I’ve heard that some have been hunted down and killed for sport. I’d rather have a nice clean execution, perhaps it’ll even be peaceful.[/color][/i]” he smirked, sharpened teeth peeking from his lips for a brief moment. But they had almost reached the location of the next pillar they would seek favor from. But as they reached the monolith of a wooden structure with enormous koi ponds at its entrance, the two would soon realize they had been surrounded by cowled figures with katana drawn at the ready. This was it, a nameless student of the Storm Pillar and a demon who tries to live in peace with humans, slain at the doorstep of the Pillar or Rivers. Or perhaps not?[/sup][/hider] [hider=Available Roles] Will be updated in real time. As of now, anything is available just apply baby.

There are hundreds of Demon Slayers within the organization and have as of yet been recognized by the government of Japan, but steps are being taken to change this. Demon Slayers are primarily hand-selected by a master who is currently enlisted, or was prior enlisted in the Corps, however there are instances of those who hail from families that served the organization over several generations being brought upon Final Selection nonetheless. Upon the completion of [i]Final Selection[/i], a student is brought to the summit of [i]Fujikasane[/i] where they choose the ore used to create their Nichirin Sword and are gifted a Kasugai Crow. Their prime directive was previously to seek out and destroy [i]Kibutsuji Muzan[/i], but after his downfall at the hands of one of the Pillars the goal of the organization seems to be vague at this point.[/sup][/color] [color=black]_________________________________________________________________________[/color] [h3][color=Lightskyblue]The Imperial Japanese Army : [url=https://i.imgur.com/bm9ew7z.gif]大日本帝國陸軍[/url][/color][/h3] [color=Lightskyblue][sup]With the growing movement of [i]Ultra-Nationalism[/i] in Japan the people would transition away from the artistic free-thinking of past eras instead local leaders, such as mayors, teachers, and Shinto priests were recruited by the various movements to indoctrinate the populace under these ideals. They had little time for the pragmatic ideas of the business elite and party politicians. Their loyalty was practically to the Emperor and the military. With this harsh and hardened political state the militarism of the country would have it's own renaissance as soon-near wars would witness the newfound strength of a unified Japan. The spread of military presence can be felt throughout all of Japan, and would-be prospects for the Demon Slaying Corps have even been poached from their masters for the war machine themselves.[/sup][/color] [color=black]_________________________________________________________________________[/color] [h3][color=Lightskyblue]Shingetsu : [url=https://media.giphy.com/media/RkJGan30YwQlq/giphy.gif]新月[/url][/color][/h3] [color=Lightskyblue][sup]To counteract the continued state of animosity towards demons within Japan, an organization known as Shingetsu has emerged out of the darkness to protect demons [i]deemed innocent[/i] from harm. The members of this group are both human and demon and range from the power of a [i]Mizunoto[/i] all the way up to that of a Pillar. While Shingetsu's existence is known both to the Demon Slaying Corps and the upper echelons of the Japanese Imperial Army, the members of this organization have kept their identities safely hidden. It is believed even by the current [i]Ubuyashiki[/i] that leads the Demon Slaying Corps that one, if not multiple pillars may be a part of this group without his knowledge. Because of this knowledge being readily known within the Corps there is a constant air of distrust between comrades all the way up the ranks even to the Pillars themselves, unknowing of who was a traitor, and who would live up to the symbol painted upon their back. “Destroy.”[/sup][/color]
