[@Hayazo] Before you go setting up the map, I was trying to get my character with a quick writeup of NotRyukyu done but I don't think I'll have it up tonight and I'll probably be busy most of tomorrow. So here, have the relevant bit to worldbuilding, which will itself be relevant to my own character. This is all based on the actual history of Okinawa and how it relates to its martial arts: [indent] The Ruuchin Kingdom is a peculiar part of Anjou’s domain, a chain of islands to the southwest of the mainland ruled by kings that use the nine tailed fox’s power to legitimize their authority. They were, however, once a vassal state to (insert name for NotChina) and their location makes them an important trade hub, which means the islands see plenty of foreigner influence. These aspects combined with a martial culture, born from the hard-nosed inhabitants having to fend off all manner of undesireables for ages, marked the islands as a potentially rebellious and so led to a peculiar ruling by Anjou: The Ruuchin Kingdom may not stockpile weapons. This, however, did not stop the development of combat skills in Ruuchin. While Anjou might’ve wished to eliminate thoughts of rebellion and make the Kingdom reliant on his armies, the upper classes had the spare time and means to devote themselves to pursuing the martial arts. Under the new restrictions, the warriors of the court travelled to (insert name for NotChina) to train and pioneered new schools in Ruuchin, developing a number of methods based around the use of improvised weapons and promoting a strong focus on body strengthening, well beyond what is typically practiced in other countries with access to arms.
