A plot against the Emperor
Story
The year is 1561 and rumours have been circulated throughout Kansai (Central East Japan) and Chugoku (Central West
Japan). These rumours whispered through the provinces until the words of a plot against the Emperor reached the ears of
the many Daimyo, the weakened Ashikaga Shogunate and people from every walk of life. Each rumour tells a tail of deceit
from every man in power and fingers are pointed with cries of war swiftly following. Some remain stalwart to the chaos
which is ensuing but few can stay so for long. The life of the Emperor has been threatened and some Daimyo come to his
aid. However, others gather to depose him, others who see this chaos as an opportunity for revenge, to gain power or to
deal with old enemies.
______________________________
Although the modern day capital is at Tokyo, it was originally situated at Kyoto.
Just thought I’d add that for the people who don’t know.
______________________________
Our characters in the Rp will be exceptional warriors and strategists who follow the Daimyo of Kansai and Chugoku. You
don’t have to align yourself with a Daimyo.
The world of this Rp is mean to be unrestricted. So while one character might be leading an army on Kyoto. Another might be leading an army against their Lord.
If character 1 kills the Emperor and burns Kyoto to the ground, this is irreparable. Once a character dies they’re dead for good and Kyoto would have to be rebuilt. New characters can be created if an Rper’s character dies (though let’s try to avoid this) and also generic NPC characters can appear and die off.
If a Daimyo is slain then his eldest son or closest vassal tends to take over, unless of course they all get killed as
well. So through this an Rper’s character can become a Daimyo if they wish.

supplement your attacks, they aren’t used like typical magic and can’t supplement Charms)
Special Attack: (Limit Breaks, Overdrives, whatever you wana call them =D Your

Charms
Paper tags with characters of various meaning, used with chi to activate and cast. As for what they can do, be creative.

Nature Influencing Magic
Takes time to use, requires focus and chi. Affects nature, so that means the weather, plants, animals, again feel free
to be creative
______________________________
Like any Rp there are some rules involved:
1. I’d like everyone to be as active as possible. If you’re going to have an extended absence let us know and maybe
entrust someone to continue your characters progress in the story.
2. No god modding and overkilling (killing hoards of enemies in one single attack) or special attack abuse
3.No spamming, flaming or grieving (if you capture someone’s character try to avoid executing them or if you have an
epic battle try not to kill blow them, we all know we get attached to our characters =)
4.The relics only respond to those of the same element
6. There’s a lot of freedom in this Rp and so you can go off and do whatever you want essentially. But try to continue
the story and CREATE IT. Everyone needs to help keep this going.
7. No excessive posting. I won’t set a max per day or anything like that. But try not to leave the people you are
hanging around behind ok
8. For those who get lost in the story, people who do know what’s going on need to re-cap them.

______________________________
I need to check up some things before I add the Daimyo section.
In the meantime, join up and create your characters ^^ I hope this catches at least a few peoples interest. You can have more than one character.
There will be a lot of NPC involvement, all of which we can control. However be fair in how you use them.
ENJOY =D
