Alright, I have made a re-introduction post (finally lol)

Hopefully this goes well
Imperial Realm of Yamatai

Imperial Capital, Ekyodo


The arrival of Emperor Sho was announced by the opening of the heavy wooden door of the Imperial Court. Once inside, the hundreds of politicians, military officers, bureaucrats, nobles and reporters filled the chamber, all looking down from their tiered areas. Most people would probably suddenly suffer a lack of never to do anything but stutter and trip in the presence of so many important people, but Sho long got over his fear of public speaking and having so many eyes on him as he had grown up in the company of many of these men and women, some of which he knew personally. Instead of feeling the glares of a thousand people, he saw the gaze of a thousand friends and family as he took his seat in the throne located at the center against the wall.

"All bow before his grace, Emperor Shitatsu Sho!" the court guard in full traditional armor boomed from the center of the Imperial Court.
"We give praise to you and wish a thousand years of honor upon our lord which we swear to serve most dutifully and diligently. Please accept our humble bows that we present before you, our righteous Emperor Shitatsu Sho.", the hundreds of voices shook the foundations of the building to its very core as everyone once more took their seats after the Emperor waved a hand.

"People of my glorious domain," the Emperor's voice resounded throughout the chamber, "We have convened here once again to discuss the course of our great Empire. As our first order of business, I would like to elect Mastude Shiahara-dono to speak to us about our current situation within our colonies. Shiahara-san, as you wish."

"Thank you my lord," Shiahara stood up, his hair pulled back to his hairline as it spiked out at the end, his eyes covered by a small pair of circular spectacles, "All is well in the colonies, money and materials are been sent per status quo and our conversation of the local populace if proving to be fruitful. As per your orders, we have increased defenses in both the southern Ryukyu Island and the northern Fujishi colony. Scouts are active around the clock on the look out for any hostile intent by both Tiqsimuyu and Yllendthyr. Two platoons have been moblized and divided between the two with the 1st and the 8th Fleets supporting them. There are reports however that Elven refugees are crossing the border in Fujishi, your orders?"

"I will leave the final response to my sister, Habari-dono, thank you for your report Shiahara-dono." The Emperor pushed some papers around and picked up a new sheet about the recruitment in the military as well as new weapons, "Arisaka Tajima. Please stand and deliver your report."

"Yes sir!" the Minister of Military stood a rapt attention, his back straight as a board as he delivered his report with the voice known to shatter mountains, "We have raised two new armies to serve you your highness. We have also finished the consturction of the Anikaga-Class battleship, Ooichiro, and the Namashiro-Class Aircraft Carrier, Hoki. They will become the basis of the new 14th Fleet with the battleship Nakima, the Aircraft Carriers Jistu, Danbari, and the cruisers Amatsu, Kyojin and Ryuzo soon joining them. Upon completion, we will transfer some destroyers from the 7th Fleet to support them."

"Very well, I see that our naval power is becoming more relevant." the Emperor was glad that the navy was growing stronger, he had put a new package of money to the shipyards in order to raise the new, modern 14th fleet, "What about these new weapons you are proposing?"

"As you know, some months ago we have began testing the Type 5 Experimental Rifle. We have now concluded that it is ready to be shipped out after working out some minor flaws in the rifling and feed system as the Type SM-5 Rifle. Troops will soon be armed with it but the Type 99 will still be in service with the Ashigarus and snipers. Also we have made significant progress towards chambering the Type 50 heavy SMG for rifle rounds but are unable to find suitable ways to reduce recoil for automatic fire. Fear not however as I have assigned our best men to the R&D laboratory in Kitsu."

"Very well, may Amaburi be with you." the Emperor watched as a Tajima sat down as he pulled out another file labelled "Diplomacy report."

Silence broken only by silent mutters and the shuffling of papers and scratches of pens filled the room as his highness thumbed through the file. The newer members of the Court were clearly uneasy as they fidgeted in their seats especially the rookies in the foreign affairs department, hoping that they wouldn't be dishonorably called out for a mistake they made.

With gentle hands, Emperor Sho closed the folder and turned to a certain Ms. Arita Kayuma, head of the rising FA ministry, "Kayuma-dono, I have read your department's report and have found every useful and informative. How goes the diplomats we have sent to the other nations?"

Dressed in modern business wear, Kayuma brushed away her hair and cleared her throats, "Your honor, we have yet to receive word from our brave men and women in foreign soil but are expecting them to do well." A small spontaneous chatter arose around her as she leaned down so someone could whisper in her ear, "Also, no disrespect your honor, what will you do about the three-way meeting in the land of Tin?"

A grin cracked on to the young ruler's face as he called for a mysterious figure, "Hattori."

"You called your highness?", a man dressed in black robes and armor with only his eyes showing between his face mask and his headband suddenly appeared from seemingly nowhere, surprising everyone in the court and baffling the guards who were now scanning the chamber from ceiling to floor, "What is your bidding?"

"I am giving you permission to activate the JSIOF. Ensure that we shadow our "friends" as they have their meetings. It might be a perfect tinderbox for our plans." the Emperor's widening grin further unsettled the rookies and even some veterans, the experienced ones how stood steadfast, "I assume you know what to do from here."

"Yes you highness." Hattori bowed, "The shadows listen to your will."

And with that, he disappeared in plain sight, puzzling everyone once more as the guards angrily shook their fists at where he was once standing. Sho knew that activating the JSOIF would be direct dishonor on his part, but everyone in the room had a certain level of knowledge on why.

The Emperor needed a spark to strike the tinderbox, who else to call on for this sinful business besides the JSOIF.

As a general question, what kind of language barreirs are there? Is it like everyone speaks the same language for the most part and just have regional differences/dialects or we all speak completely different languages?
I'm still on
And as a side note, me and Monkey are no longer attempting to out scream each other.

I'll be making an attempt to post tomorrow since god help me with what I have to do today >.>
@MonkeypantsAlright then, I'll be shooting you a PM soon
<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

First off, I do not know who you think you are coming in here and insulting me but you chose to neglect and leave, not I.

Secondly, you haven't been here in over a month and when someone wants to re-purpose a part of this rp, you suddenly come rushing to defend?

Rather than telling me to not botch my answer, perhaps you shouldn't have botched your role in the rp.

Now, with that stated, I intended to use some already established communities to forge my own. It's the same premise as an rp based around a TV show or movie, use the material available to make your own story.


I would have loved to stayed but I had irl things pop which I could not account for and thus temporarily leaved the RP with an eventual plan to come back.

But, before this turns into a shouting match with both of us raging at our screens, can I ask on what parts of Yamatai and Alf you are using? If its something small like history or weapons I'll accept the blame that I started this but if its something larger I won't.
@MonkeypantsCan you possibly explain what you're doing with Yamatai and Alf? I personally prefer people not using stuff they didn't make themselves since I see it as unimaginative and effortless copying.

I highly suggest to you that you do not botch your answer.

@ClocktowerEchos Just wondering, who was that Lance supposed to be directed at?


Its suppose to be any opening where anyone can start first contact with the Rizu. If no one decides to take it, I'll just say its a dead body of some poor unfortunate soul who got lost and Yaki will be on his way.

Plains of High Sun
2nd Horde: Courier of the Dragons


Yaki looked down from his horse, the clouds were shifting widly, the ancestors where unsure. These omens certainly looked bad but he kept his composure, remembering how he was teased as a child when he grew too concerned about the Spirt Winds. With his bow in hand, he spurred his horse into action, despite it being a young one, the horse way steadfast and loyal even in the face of the greatest bears.

"Adla," Yaki waved to the War Chief of the Courier of the Dragons who was enjoying a pleasure ride from his highly ornate mount, stone armor glimmering in the sun, "Tracking deer. I excuse myself."

The middle aged man nodded, despite his wrinkles, Adla proved himself more than a capable leader. Yaki dipped his head and headed off. There was game to be hunted for the horde, a deer and a fat one at that. Surely he would be able to receive some reward, perhaps a new lance of bone to use or a new bow. He heard that the bow maker had found some wood that made for outstanding bows but only gave them to outstanding fellows.

As his head amused itself with the prospect of reward, he saw something in the distance. Curiosity exploiting his young mind, Yaki rode over and saw a someone on the ground. He jumped off his mount, his lance in hand incase it was a trap, and shuffled over to the person on the ground and poked them with the blunt end of his lance, "You, you awake? You are hurt?"
