Japanese middle ages: A peaceful time with barely any external conflicts. But also a time of the rise of the shogunate. In a need for more swordsman to battle against rebels and oni (demons), many schools have popped up to train future swordsmen. Most schools however only train human men, despite some women capable to becoming skilled fighters and peaceful oni existing. However in the town of Inari exists a dojo that also trains oni and women. It is the Daikan Dojo, or in it's long form the Daikan School of Skilled Weaponmastery. The school has two instructors. The actual master only trains the most skilled students and the instructors. Most students from here become local samurai, assassins or personal bodyguards.
However rival schools and people who look down upon the fact that the school trains women and oni and that the master is a woman herself cause problems for the school. But moreover the real foes have a grudge against the master. The students aren't aware of the actual reason, however there is something dark about their master, they'd rather wish not to know of.
The dojo: The only requirements of the dojo is that student must be at least 12 to enter and at least 16 to wield a real weapon. By age 20 or 22, depending on how old they were when they started, they finish their training. Depending on their skill, they may be immediately taken as a samurai for local lords. Students from poor families must work in the afternoons to earn their tuition. The work is mostly simple tasks such as fetching water or sweeping the court. The school has two instructors and a master who is female. The school is made up of four buildings. A living building, the dojo, a shrine and a separate building that serves as both a storehouse and a bath (onsen/hot springs with restrooms). Aside from sword training, students learn how to wield other weapons like spears and learn normal basic school curriculum too (Maths, Literature, Japanese, Courtship).
Rules:
There can only be two instructors.
You can play oni (demons).
Please stick to the setting (clothes etc.).
No godmoding
You can't just expect to have an overpowered character.
