Story: The year is 1392 and for once Japan is at peace after a long time of civil war between the clans. A new threat emerges to threaten the peace. A everyone at a village called Yokuto in southern Honshu Japan has disappeared and everyone who goes to it is never heard from again. The area around the village is starting to die and a rumor is spreading that a demon has cursed the land. The four great shogun have gotten together and decided that enough is enough. They have called for volunteers to go on a mission to find out what has happened to the village and a reward will be offered if they can successfully save the village. But that is not all. There is unrest between the three great shoguns and it seems as tho civil war is bound to come and will be set off by the tiniest spark.


The emperor: The emperor is a small boy who just recently came to the throne after his father died of illness. He is nine and there are people out there who believe he is to young to be the emperor and that another one should be chosen.


Shogun one: A wise old man named Sugiko Fugari who believes in peace and would like to isolate Japan and preserve it's customs and stands by the emperor. He is a kind old man who would like nothing more than to have Japan stay the same and be a peaceful place.


Shogun two: A warlord named Tenkako Medoery. He wished to expand Japans borders through war, bringing it to more glory and believes that he should be made emperor to bring it about himself. He leads in a brutal war like way but cares for the people under his command.


Shogun three: A shrewd diplomat named Kesamie Yeadormy. He believes in expansion of Japan through trade and treaties and the growth of Japans economy above all else. He has not given a statement on if he supports the new emperor.


My overall theme for the story I hope: Getting past racial, clan and gender differences and finding out whats really worth fighting for...


Rule:


1: No bunnying and all that basic site rules.


2: Romance is allowed between characters but it must fade to black.



3: No one liners



4: You can have up to two characters



5: I would like this to be somewhat historically accurate so if your a girl there will be prejudice against you and it would be nice if you could incorporate that into your background.



6: I will be making the challenges and enemies in this story for the most part so please don't randomly create enemies for you to kill. It is my job to make the role play challenging and exciting and I ensure you there will be many challenges throughout the entire rp with several plot twists.



7: Your character can die within the story if you aren't careful and there will be chances far later on in the story for new characters to be made.



8: Your character can not have magic because it's suppose to be historical fiction but I do plan on having characters get the chance to have magic later on in the story.

That image came out much larger than I expected.
 
So.... we still doing this? ForgeKeeper hasn't been on for a few days, but I'm still interested in this game.
 
Hmm. Three players thus far, as well as Forgekeeper handling NPCs. I wonder if we'll be able to start after I get accepted.
 
I have a few people that would enjoy this kinda thing. Maybe if we get a few others to post a character then when Forgekeeper comes back we can start!!~
