Demon Slayer: Sleepless City of Devils

^{F l a m b o y a n c e} : Mikazuki Kagura「三日月神楽」is the simplified revision of the Breath of The Moon. A Style designed for Swordsman outside of the Tsugikuni & a Tenken Battōjutsu-themed swordplay, replicating the eight phases of the moon in rapid succession. It's the precursor to the Breath of Thunder & Breath of Wind and its branches, for its sole purpose is to teach a less stamina costing style.

A Swordplay with constant footwork to visual-bodily coordination, designed by the First Breath-user of The Moon to swiftly end fights with great speed & offense that one could barely react to. Practitioners are said to be like 'Moonwater', for they are like mirages of the Moon, reflected in water, as if they are shadow dancing against their foes. Mikazuki Kagura is magnified by its estoeric properties – inspired by the Selfless State, where practitioners's presence, appear & disappear like the Moon & deliver decisive strikes.

Practitioners that're acknowledged are given the Hanafuda Moon Earrings & aren't strictly bound to one Demon Slayer Clan.

☽︎ Mugetsu: Shinkirōzuki「蜃気楼月」(New Moon, Mirage Moon) — Form 1
As it metamorphically resembles a blank moon, the user conjures illusive mirages that appear and disappear, delivering feints that are decisive, the users are said to be invisible, resembling Hinokami Kagura's Fake Rainbow, this done without any blade work, temporarily erasing their scent/presence.

☽︎ Eigetsu: Mikazukinami 「盈月: 三日月波」(Crescent Bladed Waves) — Form 2
The forms, 1-4 of the original Breath of The Moon are compressed into one as the users circulate through it, delivering dissipating crescent bladed waves, without unsheathing their blade.

☽︎ Shinhakizuki: Hirameki Mai「四半期の月: 閃き舞」(Quarter, Flashflair) — Form 3
The forms, 5-8 forms of the original Breath of Moon are compressed into one form as practitioners circulate through the forms, resembling the Thunderclap & Flash & Dust Whirlwind Cutter. One zooms at a horizontally & vertically, blinding fashion to blitz their foes, before they could even react, this creates multiple trails of crescent blades, for every hit that one unleashes. This is done with an unsheathed blade & it's finisher is a Moon Dragon.

Families of renown would have their versions of forms 4-8.

Tomioka Guen

'Tomioka Guen'
'Tomioka Guen'

A g e: 23 | R a n k:Water Hashira

^{P e r s o n a l i t y} :
We're really nothing alike. Guen values her personal space, keeping a nonchalant image for the most part. She's quick to pickup social cues and addresses them as unfiltered as possible. Aware of the fact that her words are cold and hurting, this is her way of caring.

^{S h o w a S e c r e t} :
A descendant of the Taishō Era's Water Hashira, like the predecessor before her, a chord of sadness struck her life. Borne into the House of Tomioka, Guen was fated to forge a bloodpaved path & although thankful for having her family intact, she is gripped with sadness, witnessing how others lose theirs. She's even said to be the luckiest person in the corps for having a complete family alongside her luck streak in gambling.

This guiltridden sentiment and perspectives, rushed down like the rabids from the river as she succumbed to negative peer pressure. Guen closed her heart shut and distanced herself from the corps, all throughout her early days until her late fiance came. The previous Moon Hashira, Tsugikuni Hikaru, who's been Guen's anchor for seven years has died recently, specifically on the day of their wedding. Interrupted like as if fate was just that cruel, Guen finally felt loss that's directly related to her & not so long months after, she felt a tide of vomit down her throat, when she's told of her miscarriage. Eventually, Guen wallowed in depression, so much so, avoiding Hikaru's little sister, blaming herself for his death.

Despite her indifferent attitude towards her peers, she's the leader of the Hashira.

'K o k y ū'

^{F l a m b o y a n c e} : Guen is a practitioner of Water Breathing & the Water Hashira of her era, just like her predecessor, who've created the 11^th Form — Guen created a 12^th Form.
✧ Form 12 : 滝七連舞 | Taki Nanarenbu (Waterfall, 7 Slices Dance)
Guen created the 12^th Form to fully conceal her presence in a microsecond & rush down like a Waterfall, all attacks are nullified as she uses the footwork of Thunder Breathing & inspired by Dead Calm's lull, foes may hit a mirage, as the real one is circulating 7 consecutive hits to the vitals — throat, solar plexus, heart, stomach, groin, kneecaps and wrists, in no particular order, and while she's doing so, foes have no way to deal damage against her.

Breath of The Cold |【冷の呼吸】 (Rei no Kokyū) is among the numerous derivatives of the Breath of Moon. Thematically, the cold sends shivers to ones spine, playing the intimidation tactics of foreboding bloodlust. It's coldblooded like the sweet serving of revenge, best when it's cold, it is Guen's recently developed Style.

Although it seemed like an irrational walking death wish for the users, it's more-so paradoxical. The Breath of The Cold is vaunting while also taunting – it incites fear as so does challenge. Once foes are drawn towards the fowler's snare, it is likened to; a once noisy forest, followed by sudden dead silence. Before anything else, one has already fallen prey, realizing it too late, as the hunter becomes the hunted and the vulnerable, devoured.

Leaving only the Breath of The Cold-user, looking that of a Jaguar that successfully got its hunt.

The Breath of The Frost, employs the most offensive swordsmanship in Japanese History, the Jigen-Ryū Kenjutsu, it has a total of 4 Forms.
✧ First-Blood — Wildhunt, Prowler【荒狩、夜の泥棒】(Arakaru, Yoru no Dorobō) is a Jigen-Ryū Kenjutsu form. Apparently inspired by the Japanese Legend of what's the swordplay, the Shinsengumi, feared. From the silence, comes a visceral warcry meant to confuse foes, followed by an assault barrage of erratic sword swings. It is bound by a singular purpose; ending the lives of foes while disregarding your own. The form prior release is assisted by 4 consecutive, enhanced recovery breaths as it acts as a delayed mechanism for the user to endure incoming hits while striking their enemy.
✧ Form ___ : The other 3 forms are story locked, TBR.

^{B l a d e W o r k} : Guen wields a Nodachi with a darkblue blade, so blue that it has no hues, often mistaken as a black blade. The aura it radiates is so cold, many refrain from even touching or looking at it. For Demons, it is foreboding.

_________________________________________________________________________

^{U n i q u e T r a i t s} : Guen is a Marechi, her blood is intoxicating to Demons.

Kimetsu no Yaiba AU: Temen-ni-Guru (Arc 2)

@TimelessParagon Firstly, I appreciate you, looking onto this.

1. There will be no Discord server for the matter, I personally see it as something to be earned. > Momentum of the RP first, so Players can focus and not be distracted, cause' Discord is more than just social media, it's heaps of servers that we're all in, and has proven to be a hazard over the years, to each their own approach and taste, Discord will be given if the Players exceed expectations and I prefer balance at this point.

Short answer: RP is hosted here IC and old school use of OOC.

2. Since Players are Hinoto rank onwards for Demon Slayers a d for Demon players, I'd say BDAs would be around Upper Moons 4 to 6. The obvious ones are banned like Infinity Castle, etc. there'd also be no hybrids like Kaigaku, in essence of being a Slayer and Demon, if I were to allow it, it will be just one player.

Reveal

Gunfire by the bullet, bang-bang by the chase, an inhuman policewoman thrust to the chase. Not much by its base, buckled to the ace, what's happening was merely a chase.
"You really have to play that song?!...AGAIN!" Fleeing from the law for nearly just a minute, endangered the streets of Shinjuku, as explosions of majestic grandeur by the Sun Hashira's dramatic escape, prompted pursuit of multiple police cars as his car, zoomed and drifted away.

"Can't say I didn't warn ya, Dragonboi and you ain't slithering away this time. Besides, I do love me some psycho woman!" The Sun Hashira brazened himself with arrogance of the sun, as he continue to mock the restrained & unlikely ally.

"Kamado, stop provoking The Informant. Oyakata-sama has warranted Uzui-chan to protect him. Just drive." The Water Hashira, reprimanded the arrogant Sun out of his wit, as a subtle bloodlust, oozed inside the car.

A Nichirin knife was held up against The Informant's throat, from the backseat.

There're no words to be heard in this panel but utter muted words to be unlocked as a point of plot in a distant and riped future. What was visibly & viscerally seen; The Water Hashira slitted the throat of The Informant, at some intervals, beheaded as the Water Hashira uttered words that is soon to reveal itself. Blood splattered in the windows, from the outside view.

The calm and composed Water Hashira, went against orders but why?
Find out soon.

"Master..." The Water Hashira's Disciple, a Breath of The Moon Swordman, called her attention and she did a finger gesture towards the boy, to turn off a phone call from the Mirage Hashira.

"I know, don't bother asking me what's next, Eizo. I'm nothing like Oyakata-sama and we're nothing alike the rest of the Corps'."

"Guen! This is weird! I could've sworn they were behind us! Now they're in front of us! The Sun Hashira was contuzzled with the sudden disorienting.

"Kamado, keep driving...Eizo and I will slay this bitch." Guen and Eizo stepped out of the car, and found foothold at the car's rooftop, ready to engage their pursuers from afar.

The Policewoman smirked along with a sinister smile as she stepped out of the car with her men.

_{OST: Set Your Heart Ablaze}

The Demon Slayer Corps has amassed its numbers since the 1920s, after the great ordeal with the Former Demon King, Muzan and while there're branches under the big tree, some don't even get along and went their separate ways.

20-years ago, Tsugikuni Michikatsu succeeded, taking over Japan, instilling what is called, the Yakuza Revolution. With enough scheming behind the scenes & an Owl in the Japanese Government, he delivered a double edged sword; one so great as one bad move, exposes the existence of Demons & their Hunters. That deception tactic was outlawing the Demon Slayer Corps behind closed doors, with no appeal or whatsoever. However, it didn't stop there, the eternal rivalry between Demon & Hunter, only ever grew stronger.

Their heated rivalry was not only a test of time, but also an inseparable ties to fate, just as how darkness & light, vermillion & azure, good & evil, & most especially, the Sun & Moon.

There are seven branches, standing tall across Japan yet for the past 60-yrs, none has ever killed a Blood Moon, Demon Lord. Once upon a time, 27 Branches of the Demon Slayer Corps, existed, but their war with the Blood Moons - had too many casualties. From Kantō — there's Tokyo, from Kansai, there's Kyoto and Osaka, and then the entire Kyūshū, making it the biggest branch, then from Shikoku & Tōhoku.

In Shinjuku, Funachi — spearheaded an expedition, 3-years ago. The Oyakata of Tokyo assigned the Sun Hashira, Moon Hashira and Dragon Hashira to spy in the confines of Wasegawa University, The Western Dragon Nightclub & The Shibuya Crossing.

It was said that with enough Hashira to covering the mission, it would've taken months, and now it's been three years.

Furthermore, with the recent death of the Moon Hashira, any information regarding the Funeral Parlor, has been lost and died along with the late Moon Hashira.

Tensions're running high, when the Metropolitan Shinjuku-Funachi Police Force began prying on their activities.

A meeting has been held in the underground lounge of Wasegawa University, and it's covered by a Blood Demon Art, so subtle, making it undetectable.

Yanagi — Tokyo Branch, Demon Slayer Corps, Kakushi, Barrier Maiden

Yanagi is a Demongirl under the employment of the Butterfly Mansion.

She puffed in frustration.

"Mmmmm!~ Lord Kamado isn't here again. I can't keep raising the curtains, even in the slightest, ya'know! Latest are inappropriate! He's probably fast asleep, after all that drag racing. We can't start the meeting without him."

---

Tsubaki — Tokyo Branch, Demon Slayer Corps, Kasugai Crow Unit

The Albino Crow squawked.

"Urgent matter, urgent matter. Summoned by Oyakata-sama, here you are. Not enough manpower till next week.

Kinoto ranked; Third Year, Tenko Maria Thompson.

Kinoto ranked & Tsuguko of the Water Hashira; First Year, Arashi Eizo.

Hard times we are at, Sun Hashira MIA, Moon Hashira died of unknown causes.

Three Years, dragged on this mission is."

Ubuyashiki Takaya — Tokyo Branch, Demon Slayer Corps, Oyakata

15-year old, Ubuyashiki Takaya, one of the many heirs of the Ubuyashiki Zaibatsu has shown himself to the Hunters he summoned to assist the Dragon Hashira.

With a cheerful smile on his face, he signaled his Crow to stop talking as he'd take the center stage.

"My Siblings. My sincerest apologies for pulling you out of your Subjects.

Never fear. I have handsomely persuaded your Professors to delay your Midterms for two weeks, especially the Third Years." He signalled Yanagi, who then performed her BDA, manifesting Green Tea and Azuki Mochi for them to snack.

"Yanagi-chan, give them their letters."

Rengoku Nobuo

To my dearest Niece,

Long time no see, it's been a while since we last talked, I'm glad you're doing well in Wasegawa University, my Aneki, your Mother, Amaya, would definitely been so proud.

Just one more year and you'll graduate! On the other hand, I sincerely am sorry, for not responding to your Letters. I lost the Shop and got into trouble, and got into a fight with Great Grandfather.

If you're reading this, I tried my best to not have the Corps, tie you in, to any of this but I have my reasons amidst this Family Drama of ours.

I'm truly sorry, Mari-chan. I'm such a good for nothing Uncle. I wish I can tell you.

I'm really sorry, if this is about to affect your education.

But all I can say is, these are perilous times.

Don't believe in everything you hear or see.

— Rengoku Nobuo

Tomioka Guen

To Eizo,

I know you're going through a lot and trust me, it's no joke, getting inside one of the best schools in Japan.

You could still work on your Maths though, I can't afford you to having just an A. I need you to do more than that and make yourself consistent. My husband, your supposed Master, would've said the same, I miss him too.

You got a lot in your mind, especially what's your future in the Corps. I would like to apologize for entrusting you dreams that you may not want to embody but I'm sure you'll forge your own path. I got into a squirmish with the Tsugikuni clan, and I vouched for you as the next Moon Hashira.

I failed. Clan politics, whether we like it or not. My husband's sister was chosen to be the next Moon Hashira.

Build your own rep, choose your friends wisely, don't get into a fight with Himari.

Don't be a puppet of the Tsugikuni and don't die.

I really wish that those in power, would shed light without dynasty.

Sincerely,

Tomioka Guen

Sadly there was no letter for the Dragon Hashira.

"Take your time, and I will answer your questions regarding our agenda." Oyakata-sama sat in a cushion chair.

Somewhere around Funachi, laid a joint of an Izakaya, the bar was running in late at its closing hour. @Aku the Samurai@Arminwraith@TimelessParagon

A man was so drunk, he wanted more.

"Oi, akakiddo, gimme some more of that booze, which reminds me, what is a cop doing here at closing hour in 8am? The next shift is about 2pm, which is mine."

Yakuza Man — Isaka
The plate that the man got was human head, and from the contents he'd eaten, he is in fact a Demon.
