There are four different clans to play as in this RP. The first three are samurai clans, the Hitomi, Katsuro, and Nobuyuki respectively. The fourth is the clan of the corrupt, the Kage - Gashadokuro's army. Back-stories for each of the samurai clans will be posted soon!
The clan leaders are all playable, one for each of the three samurai clans, but I must post a quick warning: If you are to play as a clan leader, you must be fully active in this RP.
Clan leaders are currently unavailable
Clan leaders shall play a large role in this RP, and therefore you must be dedicated to this if you wish to play as one. The clan leaders' families are also playable, only aside from a leader's children possibly inheriting his/her power during the course of the RP, they are ordinary characters.
The Hitomi
<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf3138710_FemaleSamurai.jpg.bed08f424b4e9a1c831a517848cb92e5.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="17881" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf3138710_FemaleSamurai.jpg.bed08f424b4e9a1c831a517848cb92e5.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p> A Hitomi samurai
The Hitomi are a clan of nearly all female warriors. They follow the samurai way and uphold the same ideals, but in terms of combat they differ. Hitomi are stealthier and less proficient in one-to-one combat. If they are able to utilize the environment to their advantage, it may be easy to vanquish their opponent, but on level and open ground they are inferior to a well-trained swordsman. They are similar to ninja.
The Katsuro
<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf313dd69_SamuraiandTiger.jpg.a31435c35d8e0f38d023c57dd13c43dc.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="17882" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf313dd69_SamuraiandTiger.jpg.a31435c35d8e0f38d023c57dd13c43dc.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p> A Katsuro atop his beast mount
The Katsuro are primarily beast-riders or horsemen, and wield a vast arsenal of long-ranged weapons. The Katana and Wakizashi, a samurai's traditional weapons, aren't as common as the Naginta or Yumi amongst these warriors. Though they allow women to join their order, there are very few. Home to also many outcasts.
The Nobuyuki
<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf314637f_SamuraiMonk.jpg.c063f67a22d2752a75e4fa9f89669343.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="17883" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf314637f_SamuraiMonk.jpg.c063f67a22d2752a75e4fa9f89669343.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>
Nobuyuki warrior monk
The final clan, the Nobuyuki, are master swordsman and monks. Some of the ancient arts developed before The War of Fire are still preserved in this clan's traditions. It has made many of their kind expert healers. The Katana and Wakizashi are their primary weapons, every samurai girds himself with both, but they wield other weapons as well. Women are not allowed to become warriors.
The Kage
<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf31530a4_ShadowWarrior.jpg.eafbf898ace593a1a330c8b6c817a834.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="17884" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_05/57a8bf31530a4_ShadowWarrior.jpg.eafbf898ace593a1a330c8b6c817a834.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>
Kage shadow warrior
The clan of fallen men and demons; a vile gathering of darkness. Weaponry is entirely dependent on the individual, as are fighting styles and tactics.
