Street Samurai

@Zaphander Guns are taboo among Ronin, because they are basically useless against Oni(and therefore would only be wielded by someone who meant to kill humans).

I'm not going to tell you not to use it, I'm just warning you about the reaction she would get from other characters.

Street Samurai

I'm going to include two more things to the CS. Well, I'm going to add one and modify one.

Mask: Ronin are largely an illegal movement, and most of them use at least some kind of mask, helmet or other obscuring article. If a mask is pictured in the photo ref, feel free to omit.

Sword: I'm gonna call it optional, but I think it would be cool if se had picture refs for their swords too. To add personality. I have a lot on the pinterest board.

Street Samurai

Just sent a PM.

If anyone else is gonna jump into that fight, let me know so we can work it out.

Street Samurai

Dice'll come first, so we know the outcome. I think I'll share the roll only with the people involved at the time.

And then we'll do the fight scene however the players fighting want. I'm okay with a collab, if you wanna move it into PM.

Also, dammit, the colors are messed up for some reason.

Also also, I don't expect most fight posts will be that long, they'll probably be exchanges of a couple sentences at a time. to keep the action even between the characters. I don't like it when one person spends three paragraphs on their move, when all they're doing is blocking.

Also also also: @Spike Sounds good, I like to imagine they gather in a parking garage or warehouse or something and just everyone is yelling what they think about the topic at hand.

@unicorgi The picture on your CS is borken, if you could take a look at that.

@Zetsuko Ah man, I really like the three brother thing. It's a little weird for balancing when I'm trying to make fights fair, cause the "character" can switch styles at the drop of a hat, but I think we'll figure it out as we go, because it's honestly pretty cool and I don't want that to go to waste.

@sassy1085 Sweet, love the picture! Does she fight with a reverse grip, or is that just the picture you happened to find?

Everyone can feel free to move characters to the CS page, and also to post when ready.

Don't feel the need to pile on to things already happening, you can totally start new scenes.

Street Samurai

The Oni turned his head halfway, no longer looking at either Ronin directly, but somewhere in between them. One of his lower arms jerked a thumb backward at Bones.

“Dust ‘im,” he grumbled.

The man turned obediently from Shinobi, lifting the scythe part of his weapon. The chain moved, apparently of its own accord, slithering and clinking from his waist, and up his arm. The chain gained slack as more of its length came onto his arm, and soon it dropped heavily to the floor, as if it were made of lead. It was black as a void.

“I thought this was Original Ronin,” he said this with a sneer in his harsh, whispering voice, “Territory. Him we expected, not some bonehead kid. Why don’t you..”

Shinobi cut the man off, “Not your fight, kid,” but only got that far when the Oni charged. Shinobi had his sword out of the scabbard, but only had the left hand on it when the Oni’s enormous club connected with it. It blocked the blow from hitting him, but Shinobi was knocked backward. He rolled once, but came out in a crouched position, his sword in an overhead guard, two handed now.

“Just what I was saying,” the scythe man said, and launched his kusarigama from his hand. As before, it moved with little input from the man, shooting from his hand in a straight line, but not aimed directly at Bones, rather past him, on a trajectory to come back and wrap him in the chain.

Someone sat at a laptop on a table, watching a live drone feed from a fight about to break out. They opened a new tab, and began checking a janky, 90’s looking website that listed known Oni in Burokun.

Kuro Kohai. Black Oni(obviously). No known affiliations, entry from two days ago. Only one fight on record, left a Ronin in the hospital, but didn’t bother killing him. No known injuries.

A blip came from the computer, heralding an instant message.

gren: hey yella aint that a hopeful staring down a bloni??

Yellow: Yes. Might like to see up close. Suit up.

gren: iunno yella, black isnt even a neon color.. doesnt go does it??

gren: also.. not worth starting beef with orobs, is it??

Yellow: Suit up.

The laptop slammed shut.

There was a clatter behind Rubin, and if he were to look back, he would see a garbage can rolling out of an alley, having been knocked over. Curiously, the only thing spilling from it was a pile of fine white ash, which drifted up in dust clouds that seemed to disappear as quickly as the wind could kick them up.

A whisper flitted up the street.

“Clutter… Filth… Disorder…”

There was silence for a moment, and then something struck the back of Rubin’s head. It was the palm of a hand, which became apparent as the fingers, long and spindly, wrapped around the left side of his head, covering the visor of his helmet.

Over his right shoulder, a creature with a long neck, and creamy ivory skin craned its head. It forcibly turned on Rubin’s helmet, to force them face to face. Its face was a mask. A serene face of purest white, with black hair on the top, in a knot.

“Why are you so dirty?”

Here Be Dragons: A Horror/Mecha RP on the Dark Frontier

There were technicians swarming all of the Dragons as they crossed the Red Line. All of the beasts took the treatment differently, sentient as they were. Repairs and modifications hurt, always. It was almost akin to getting surgery as a living animal. Some snapped at the techs, and had to be soothed by their pilot, and some winced and twitched, but let it happen. Brave Hart, its antlers almost brushing the hanger's ceiling, stood almost perfectly and stoically still. Only its pilot knew the pain the tuning caused it.

Waiting nervously in the open mouth of his Dragon, Thomas was looking across the crowded hanger at Del Lago. That was Adrian's Dragon, he knew from dossiers. He hadn't seen his brother on the ship yet, or in years, but they were here. On the same vessel, and the same mission. He wasn't sure if Adrian knew he was here or not. He certainly hadn't made any attempt to contact him, and hadn't received any messages either.

A short alarm blared, followed by an announcement.

Reckoning time. How would Adrian take being followed out into the depths of space by his older brother? For that matter, how would his older brother take finally tracking him down after all this time? And not even to bring him home, like he originally intended. No, they were stuck in this war now, wherever that led them.

Thomas stayed where he was for a little longer. He was already in uniform, so there was no scrambling. By and by, he jumped down from Brave Hart's mouth onto a catwalk running along the hangar, and made his way there.

There were a lot of pilots already there. Mostly human, with some exceptions, but all uncanny looking. It was small things, glowing eyes, strange markings, or even more obvious modifications.

Thomas allowed himself, exactly-on-time as he was, to be crowded into the center of the congregation, and waited.

So apparently schoolgirls with high tech samurai gear is it's own genre, so I'm canonizing a new "gang."

Kyoko School for Girls. Originally a private school meant to cater to Burokun's relatively small upper class population.
Since the trouble with the Oni, they offered a kendo based self defense class, which bloomed into a popular sport. After a special fluff piece in Street Samurai, an surge of internet popularity spurred many of them to take their swords to the street.

They've gained a sort of "neighborhood watch" status and is the only Ronin gang that is acting legally.

Street Samurai

Please do put all characters in the CS tab.

@GingerBoi123 Uh, Thursday.

Street Samurai

Yeah, all characters are good.
