Gintama: Every soul shines in it's own way

Just a thing: Cronic's a rare case, there aren't cyborgs running around en masse in this little war between the Shinsengumi & Kiheitai ^_^ In fact, the vast majority of people (even the Amanto/Aliens) in the Gintama universe use melee weapons. Strange setup, but it's a nice balance to have. That way it's not like supertechnology vs Samurai-era stuff.

But I like this character idea of yours. Standing between the light and dark, watching everything unfold from an independent point of view. Will he end up joining either side eventually?

Metro 2044: Returning to the Surface [Jakeozzy & Jambo1117]

Lauren smiled as she rejoined the team, messing up her little sister's hair as she walked by, "Obair deas, Sammy."

Viktor raised an eyebrow watching the two girls as they conversed in some kind of weird space age language. Maybe they made it up when they were kids or something... "What?" He asked, completely oblivious to their native language. "What are you two on about?"

"It's a secret!" Lauren said, giving Vik a very serious look, almost as if Viktor's question was too personal, but Samantha would know this was just how her big sister liked to tease people.

John began opening the doors to the rotting wooden buildings, taking a good look inside. They'd be very lucky if they found anything. Apparently there were a few petrol cans scattered around the village for this occasion. Viktor's father had planned out his son's route home before he was even born... Viktor wondered if he'd left a trail all the way to Moscow, but then he remembered his father had used a plane until reaching France. He couldn't have left any markers or supplies along the land route.

"Much appreciated, Sir..." Erin was quite stunned with the Temple Guard's sudden entrance, saving both herself and the other Padawan from the Vornskr attack before the beasts got too close. Kolinn prepared for defend herself, but those damnable creatures would have caught Erin by surprise if it wasn't for the Temple Guard's intervention. When Kolinn grabbed her arm it made her snap back into reality, "Oh. Yes, of course." She said, wrapping that same arm around Kolinn's shoulders to support her. They were ready to go, but... There was something Erin couldn't get out of her mind as she started to walk with her fellow Padawan.

"Sir, I don't suppose you met a Master Sorni down here? An Echani, I think?" She asked the armoured Jedi, "We got separated."

Gundam SEED: Burning Frontier [Jakeozzy & Cronic Crystalis]

"Wait... Why exactly are we after two pilots in particular again?" Kenny asked, adjusting his headset as he prepared to launch. He wasn't in his pilot suit - the rescue of these two select pilots was top priority.

"Ken here, the Murasame Custom is launching!" He then announced, sparks flying as the jet-like mobile suit was propelled into the thick of the battle. He could pick up the enemy's whereabouts quite easily, as it was a very powerful energy & heat signature compared to all the mobile dolls flying around. He just hoped he could get there before the Wraith was destroyed.

---

It's so cold... So painful... Why is it so dark? The sorrowful voice of a girl sobbed. Cronic, Calthorn and possibly Zerenis could hear her, but nobody else seemed to pick up a thing. They were connected, whether they wanted to be or not. It was Izumi, not dead, but very close by now. All she could do was reach out with her thoughts.

---

The winged mobile suit flew up and away from the rail bazooka's stream of death, and was about to turn it's focus to the Regen Duel... But it noticed. It's head slowly turned to the Wraith Dagger. That pilot was still alive. It raised both it's rifles and started rapidly firing smaller beams in the hopes to finish the leafless mobile suit off.

"I told you to fall..." That eerie voice penetrated into Calthorn's mind, shortly after Izumi's unconscious crying.

Metro 2044: Returning to the Surface [Jakeozzy & Jambo1117]

"Nah, we can get you used to shooting things. I understand taking a life is a hard thing, and if you ever became accustomed to it you'd be a bloody monster like the bandits back in the metro. Humans can change, though. Just keep this in mind: mutants don't give a damn if you're giving mercy or already putting rounds in them - they'll eat your damn face if you hesitate." Viktor advised Sam with an honest smile.

After receiving a wave from John, Lauren could be seen getting to her feet and slinging her rifle over one shoulder. That could only mean they were in the clear.

Kokone Murasaki - Shinsengumi

Name: Kokone Tokugawa
Aliases: 'Kokone Murasaki' (Fake Identity), 'Koko' (Nickname)
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Appearance: Has the Tokugawa Clan crest tattooed on her neck, but covers it up with bandages.


Faction: Tokugawa Shogunate (Formerly), Shinsengumi
Role: 2nd Squad Captain
Weapons: Katana, Revolver, ...and sometimes a Shinsengumi Bazooka.
Equipment/Items: Carries a mobile phone.
Backstory/Personality: The young Tokugawa Kokone was lost in a great fire back when the Joui Wars were reaching their end. An extremist faction targeted the Shogun, believing they were being far too soft in letting the Amanto settle in their Samurai nation. It was an arson attack. The 12th Shogun and the to-be Shogun, Shige Shige (13th) were taken to safety first, but his sisters were still trapped in the Citadel. The younger of the two was Princess Soyo, who was still just a toddler at the time. Because of her age, Soyo said she couldn't remember a thing other than being tossed out of the Citadel by her sister, fortunately into the arms of a loyal Samurai retainer. The whole building came down moments after. Kokone was presumed to have been burned to death or crushed underneath the epic structure, but she'd saved her little sister. The whole country honoured the girl for her sacrifice, even the Joui factions who had supposedly killed her - that girl had the heart of a Samurai. It took a lot of pressure off the Shogunate, as Joui patriots across the country stood down and realised that the Shogun's family weren't just a bunch of cowardly nobles. However, they didn't let up any pressure on the Amanto foreigners.

...Only, Kokone was still alive. She wasn't the only one still left in the burning Citadel. The man who would become the chairman of the Shinsengumi, Matsudaira Katakuriko, had saved her life in a daring stunt that could have killed them both. Moments after Kokone saved her sister, Katakuriko snatched her arm out of seemingly nowhere and led her quickly up a few flights of stairs before diving out of the Citadel, straight over the walls and into the surrounding river below. Nobody saw them. After the two were back on dry land, Kokone refused to let the Chairman take her back to her brother and sister. She knew her 'death' would change the Shogunate's standing with Joui factions everywhere. There would be peace, even if it didn't last very long or affect everyone fighting.

Instead of returning, Kokone wished to change her name and live as a commoner in Edo, just as her brother Sada Sada wanted to know what it was like. A life in nobility had little freedom - the life of a common girl gave her the freedom of choice. Even though she was free, she still ended up working for the government when she was recruited into the Shinsengumi aged 16. Usually, the Shinsengumi would strictly not take any female members, but Matsudaira pulled a few strings stating that Kokone's was a 'special case'. Within a year of joining, 'Kokone Murasaki' became Captain of the 2nd Squad - and yet another rival to Okita Sougo of 1st Squad.

Takeshi Sagami - Shinsengumi

Name: Takeshi Sagami
Aliases: 'Sensei'
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Alignment: Neutral Good
Appearance:


Faction: Shinsengumi
Role: Intelligence Officer & Kenjutsu Trainer
Weapons: Katana
Equipment/Items: Binoculars, radio, mobile phone
Backstory/Personality: Sagami Takeshi was a wandering Ronin before joining the Shinsengumi with the rest of his friends in Bushu: Kondo, Hijikata and everyone else who trained and grew up together. After the Shinsengumi was founded, Sagami was made the Intelligence Officer, who was in command of all the spies in the force. Alongside Hijikata and Okita, Sagami is one of the Shinsengumi's strongest swordsmen, though he's probably the weaker of the three. While the other two put their skills to practical use, Sagami enjoys to train the rookies and teach them effective sword styles or techniques.

Kirai Takahashi - Kiheitai

Name: Kirai Takahashi
Aliases: 'STC-01' (Clone No.)
Race: Human Clone
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Appearance:


Faction: Kiheitai
Role: Lieutenant
Weapons: Long Katana
Equipment/Items:
Backstory/Personality:

Arashi - Kiheitai

Name: Arashi
Aliases: N/A
Race: Yato
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Appearance:


Faction: Harusame Space Pirates, Kiheitai, Yato
Role: "Destroyer"
Weapons: A traditional Yato Umbrella with a black base and red flower design. Though, you could say the real weapon is Arashi herself. If she hits you, she's going to break something.
Equipment/Items: N/A
Backstory/Personality: Arashi is of typical Yato origin. Since childhood she was raised into war, her mother being the only relative she knew. She was raised with the belief that everything existed as a challenge, and that battle was all the Yato lived for. Upon reaching the age of 13, she killed her loving mother in cold blood to show others her growing power and was vilified for it by many of the calmer Yato people. She became associated with another villainous Yato her age - Kamui, whom she joined the Harusame 7th Division alongside, where many of her exiled kind were drawn together as scum. It wasn't a bad existence for her really, given the majority of the universe was against the Harusame Space Pirates. What crazy battle addict could refuse having an entire universe to oppose as they see fit?

Eventually, a man named Takasugi, a Samurai from Earth called for an alliance between his terrorist group the Kiheitai and the Harusame Pirates. As a sign of goodwill, Kamui sent Arashi to join the Kiheitai. The Kiheitai wanted nothing more than to destroy, so who better to send than a Yato to join their ranks? An embodiment of destruction...

Lucian Bane - Harusame Space Pirates

Name: Lucian Bane
Aliases: 'Bloody Claw'
Race: Amanto - Wolf
Gender: Male
Age: 40
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Appearance: When not wearing his visor, he has red eyes, his right eye having a diagonal cut across it.


Faction: Harusame Space Pirates
Role: 2nd Division Commander, Captain of the ship 'Warhammer'
Weapons: Cutlass, Laser Shotgun
Equipment/Items: N/A
Backstory/Personality: "I fought in the so-called 'Joui Wars' before I became a pirate. Those were dark days indeed... We had ships, artillery, guns, numbers, we had everything we needed to ensure a swift crushing of the rebelling Samurai. It hit us like a fucking meteor when we engaged in battle for the first time. We underestimated the Samurai, and they killed countless Amanto during the first weeks of the war. It was more a war of attrition than anything else. You can kill Samurai, but you can't crush their spirit it seems. Nearing the end of the war, my whole division was tasked with the destruction of Takasugi Shinsuke's Kiheitai and Katsura Kotarou's forces. We hit them with an ambush, making sure to bombard them from the sky just as hard as we attacked them on foot. It didn't take long for the fight to reach a stalemate... My superiors had decided taking Takasugi and Katsura's heads would finish this easily. I set out to do just that with my personal guard force. We annihilated everything in our path, until we met a silver-haired Samurai. Sakata Gintoki... 'Shiroyasha' (White Demon). I nearly lost an eye. I lost my left arm, and have a scar from where he drove his katana through me. I won't lie - after surviving an encounter with that demonic man, I quit the military. Instead, I found myself being recruited by the Harusame for my reputation as a war hero. A broken war hero, but I felt I needed to do something with myself. Piracy isn't wrong. The world is corrupt, we're simply taking what we need from that corrupt world to live in true freedom... And earning a little dirty money along the way, but who wouldn't?"

Edo (Tokyo), Capital of the Shogunate-Controlled Japan


Introduction (If you're clueless, here's something for ya to read!) -
This is the land of the Samurai these days. Japan has become such a different place since the Amanto (Aliens) landed. They're strange creatures - anthro-animals, humanoid variations, or just outright weird looking fellows! The invasion was generations ago now, and any public outrage at the invaders has died down by now. There are still Joui (Anti-Foreigner) Factions that battle against the Amanto and the corrupt Bakufu (Government) who let them settle in the country. Samurai have since become a second-class due to their fierce and relentless manner of fighting Amanto back during open war - even with their superior technology, Amanto losses were massive. The Amanto wouldn't let it stand, and pressured the Bakufu into submission on the matter of Samurai power. Along with Samurai being casually trodden on, there was a ban on swords - only rebels and military forces carry them in the open now. Life in Edo is all very much the same as it has been in recent times. The Shinsengumi and Joui Factions frequently battle in the Edo streets to decide the fate of the country, Amanto carry out illegal dealings with government protection keeping humans out of their business. Life for humans isn't hell or anything, if anything the commoner's life is much better with all the new space-age technology around! But one thing is for sure: everything is one big puppet show for the very most elite Amanto factions.

Everything seems peaceful, or as peaceful as a country in civil war can get... What nobody realises is that the Kiheitai Joui Faction and the massive force of the Harusame Space Pirates have allied with each other. Nobody who knows can deny it - one of these days, Edo might burn at the hands of Takasugi Shinsuke. It's down to a new batch of Shinsengumi members to try and tip the balance of power...

Notes/Rules -
:: This RP is mainly based around the Shinsengumi, but characters from other factions are obviously allowed - you could also make your own faction if you wish too. Or you could be independent!
:: Gintama characters are playable, but as NPCs that anyone can take control of at any time (unless someone else is already using them).
:: It's an RP - general rules apply. No powergaming/autohitting, try and stay with the plot when it matters, and for the love of god if you're going to abandon this at least tell me so the IC can move on... ^_^
:: This isn't limited to just Earth and Samurai stuff. It's like Sengoku-Modern-SciFi, so there's a lot of room for creativity. Go nuts! Magic/powers ARE allowed, but to a limited extent, and are only supernatural in a few cases - most users of magic/powers are in fact using technology such as cybernetic implants or nanotechnology.
:: Here's some wiki stuff if you feel like reading up:
Kiheitai - These guys are out to destroy the world, or rather Edo & the Government believing it to be corrupt and evil. They have ties to the Harusame Space Pirates and the Mimawarigumi.
Shinsengumi (Special Military Police Force) - These guys protect Edo and the Shogunate from all threats, as small as petty criminals to as high-risk as Joushishi Terrorists.
Joushishi (Anti-Foreigner Factions) - The Katsura Faction is fairly peaceful when they can be, others aren't and usually resort to terrorism.

Gundam SEED: Burning Frontier [Jakeozzy & Cronic Crystalis]

"At your limit already? That's impossible... What the hell?" Maddox growled, "These energy waves we're picking up are only affecting you, Calthorn. Alpha, Echo, grab the Wraith and get him back on board! Something isn't right here."

---

"Izumi, I've got you, everything is going to be alright. You hear me?" Lucia spoke in a tone of worry as she carefully piloted to grab the Saviour. What was left of it, anyway.

Suddenly, beeps and alarms blared out as that ridiculously fast heat signature came within firing range. It went straight for the Saviour, using both it and Lucia's Impulse as a shield against Zerenis' bazooka. Before Lucia knew it, her suit's arm had been taken off, and the Saviour sent flying with a following kick. The ET mobile suit flew up above the drifting Gundam, flared itself to a halt, ...and fired it's twin beam rifles straight into the cockpit. It looked angelic in design, but it wasn't here to save anyone - it came to specifically destroy the Saviour.

There was nothing on Izumi's end. Only static as the wreck became lost in lookalike debris formed from the battle.

Shortly after firing, the angelic mobile suit darted off in Calthorn's direction. Its rifles were already firing as it approached the three human mobile suits, destroying one of the Strike E's before the pilot realised they were taking fire. "Commander!" The other pilot cried, drawing his Strike's beam saber and getting in front of the Wraith. It swung as the enemy flew in for the kill, but was kicked out of the way. The angelic suit drew it's own beam saber then. It was longer than any other, and the beam was green like the ammo used in common human beam weapons.

"Fall..." Echoed in Calthorn's clouded mind as the ET's superweapon of an MS swung, aiming to cut the Wraith in two at the chest.

Gundam SEED: Burning Frontier [Jakeozzy & Cronic Crystalis]

"Trying my best here...!" Izumi responded, switching her Gundam back into mobile suit mode, and slashing a mobile doll in half with a beam saber. How many was that now? Five? There were still more.. they were coming in as reinforcements after wiping out less skilled or unlucky mobile suit teams. Suddenly, the majority began to focus on Izumi alone. Lucia found herself able to breathe again, but her friend was now blocking and dodging a ridiculous amount of enemy fire.

"What.. th.. My head!" Izumi whined, sounding deeply pained. She was jolting the Saviour around clumsily, breathing heavily over the comm channel and.. was she crying? "Stop it! I can't.. take it anymore..!"

The Blast Impulse launched all it's rockets into the mobile doll formation, then flipped it's beam cannons into position and tore through a small amount of them. "Izumi, what's wrong? Get back to the ship, I'll cover you!"

Izumi could be heard almost choking between sobs... What the hell was going on?

---

"Commander!" A voice acknowledged Calthorn. Two Strike E units had come to assist him, both of them using Aile Strikers. "We'll give you a hand here, Sir. Let's start shooting these bastards up!" The pilot of one unit said, as both covered Calthorn's flanks to give him some more room to breathe. ...But what he felt next would be horrifically painful, even for an Extended who was trained to endure such trivialties as 'pain'. This was on an entirely different level. His mind and body would feel like ice, his vision would fade or begin to adjust wrongly to everything. It was like existence was rejecting him, just like it was with a certain ZAFT pilot at the same time.

They were the only ones in such pain, and the mobile dolls were beginning to primarily target them.

---

"Sir, ...I'm getting some strange energy waves from the enemy flagship. They just deployed a mobile weapon, too. That's too fast to be a mobile suit... It can't be." The watch stander reported, the Minerva's Captain impatiently thumping his thigh. "Maddox, what have you driven us all into?"

---

The incredibly fast mobile suit was approaching the Saviour first, which had lost it's shield and was getting plastered in gunfire, while it's pilot screamed in agony. Izumi could swear she heard somebody tell her to 'fall'...

"Zerenis, on the radar!" Lucia called out. "We might need that charged shot of yours!" She suggested. Obviously the incoming enemy unit was something special. "Izumi, hang on!" The Impulse began blasting at the mobile dolls which were busy firing on the Saviour from every angle.
