Fallen Muse Where's my Obi Wan?

Autumn wind of eve,
blow away the clouds that mass
over the moon's pure light
and the mists that cloud our mind,
do thou sweep away as well.
Now we disappear,
well, what must we think of it?
From the sky we came.
Now we may go back again.
That's at least one point of view.
Hôjô Ujimasa
1538-1590


"Tell me where they are Master Kenobi! Your Daimyo is dead! The Jedaii Temples await your return! There is no reason for you to die for these fools!" Lord Vader stood a imposing form above Jedaii Master Kenobi, his black armor barely giving a glint in the warm sunlight. Smoke swam through the air behind him reaching to the sky as his white armored Imperial Samurai continued to slaughter the remaining Samurai of Daimyo Bel Iblis. The now dead Samurai Lord's head was stabbed atop a spear near the front of the village to show what happened to Rebels who crossed the Empire.

Kenobi laid there, his katana still clutched tightly in hand a bright blue glow emanating from it, he could feel the blood running down his side under his robes, his armor had been completely ineffective against the Dark Lord's glowing red blade. "You have already slain me Vader. My body dies, as all do. I will return though, and my spirit will guide the Jedaii to glory, your Emperor's Dark rule will not last Brother. You are my kin, so I will forgive you this transgression even as I pass from this world." Kenobi dropped his katana, the blue glow leaving slowly, only a regular steel blade left behind.

"I do not need your forgiveness Kenobi, I will take these lands, the Emperor will rule all of Meiji! The Rebellious Daimyos will be crushed! And we will have the Stars of Yagyu!" Turning slightly Vader lifted his Katana, then in a flash of red glowing steel Kenobi's throat opened spilling a crimson river onto the ground, the Jedaii Master's eyes losing their color, as well as his skin as he fades from the world. It was then that several of the Imperial Samurai came running around the corner dragging with them a woman in rather fine silk kimono, her long black hair tied tightly in buns, and her face painted white with only the slightest of red to accent her lips and make them look small and pouty.

"Ah Leia-Hime..." He turned to look at one of his Samurai who handed Lord Vader a torn piece of paper. "A map... But it's incomplete the other half is missing." Staring over the torn shred of scroll he sighed. "Only three of the Stars of Yagyu are listed here." He growls. "Tell me where the rest are Leia! Or I will do to your family as I have done to Iblis!" As Leia-Hime shook her head, eyes wide as she screamed, Lord Vader's shadow engulfed her in darkness, his hand extended.




Some OOC things


As you may have noticed this is a RP based off of Star Wars, but in a Feudal Japan like setting. I will be taking many liberties with the story, but I plan for it to be a very exciting adventure for all involved, with quite a few cameos of Canon Star Wars characters who have been altered to fit into a Feudal Japan Fantasy setting. That being said canon star wars races will be allowed! They will simply be known as Oni (A blanket term for any being not human). Canon Star Wars characters will not be allowable by the players, but don't fret PCs will be the focus of the RP, and they will be the Heros (If the players so choose to follow that path!) Have any questions? I'll answer them, either by PM or just ask in the thread!

Now to get on with Pertinent Roleplaying information.

The Setting: This is a Star Warsesque setting, but one of a more Feudal Japan tone. Space travel, blasters, etc are out, and Katanas, Bows, Matchlocks, and Horses are in. Canon Star Wars characters will appear, though their backstories, relationships etc can and likely will change to better fit the setting and story I have in mind.

Real Quick! The Rules Gotta get those out of the way before we can get intot he Interesting Things!
1. No flaming Attacking, harassing, or hate outside of the IC. I don't care what you do IC
2. No playing Canon characters. THey will be in the RP, but purely NPCs.. Or as main villains : )
3. Can't play Empire characters, you can be former empire now turned Rebel, but playing Empire would derail the RP Plot.
4. Have fun that's an order
5. Like.. High tech stuff.. Most you can have is a matchlock gun.





















As stated before! Any questions, just ask in PMs or here in the OOC. Character sheets in the OOC, and place in the character tab upon approval. : )

As you approach the Gates to the Jedaii temple, and purple creature drops down from the top of the gate holding a katana before himself, though the creature is only two feet tall, he seems very dangerous.
"I'm glad you've finally arrived. Master Yoda has been expecting you... Unless of course you're an imposter. So I'm here to check everyone who comes in to make sure they are not spies of the Emperor, by asking you some very important questions about who you are."

Let's see what you look like...:



What's your Name?: Seiji Mizuki

I see... Well so far that matches up.
How Old are you?:
30

Well aren't you just in the Prime of your life.
Are you a boy or girl? I can never tell.:
Male

Well that explains the.. Ahem nevermind.
Are you a Mandaii, Jedaii? Or one of the Rebellions Samurai?:
Mandaii

Glad to have you here, since everyone needs to send their best.
Let me see your weapons though. Gotta know what you have for.. Safety.:
Katana / Tetsubo

Well aren't you a tough guy err.. Gal I can't remember now.
Unsheath your blade though. Let me see if it glows:
"Until I partake in the Jedaii's order, I am no Padawan."

Very nice.. I guess. Anyways. I'm gonna need to ask you some questions. Just to get an idea of how you act, what you're like.

You're sitting in a tea house when a Ronin enters, he demands that the owner pay him two hundred gold, and serve him a drink... The Owner refuses, and it seems the Ronin may get violent. Do you intervene? If so, how?

I shall not see injustice. The Ronin are to be apprehended and the owner. The two shall be judged by their tongue or prepare themselves for a test of the blade. Once the offender has been identified-- order shall be restored and the perpetrator shall right their wrongs or face the Mandaii's Steel.

Master Yoda has just given you a task to complete, but a 'special' friend is waiting for you. Unfortunately you cannot observe both tasks, and must try and appease both Master Yoda, and the friend, or risk the scorn from one of the two. What do you do?

The Jedaii's Order does not concern me-- but Yoda's favour is of great importance. She must understand that the protection of the Mandaii Clan is far greater than the arrangement we've made for ourselves. There shall be no hope for any normal life if the Dark Lord isn't stopped. They must understand that.

Yourself and a group of other warriors have found themselves at a camp where some merchants are being attacked by Imperial Samurai. People lay about injured, others in terror and crying, all the while the threat of the Imperial Samurai is very real. What do you do? Do you help the injured? Comfort the mentally savaged? Or fight to save those who are still at risk of being killed?

Those who transgressed shall be dearly missed. However, we shall take up our swords and kill the Imperial scum! FOR FREEDOM!

Well... Those were some interesting answers. Anyways you pass, but I'll be keeping a eye on you. Kubo sees everything.

Since activity seems to be a tad slow I might consider joining this to give you guys some momentum.
One question though, what is the stance on playing a character that is not really affiliated to any of the factions mentioned? A freelancer like Han Solo.

Thank you, just to be on the safe side I assume that the nice glowing katanas are exclusively reserved for the Jedaii?
I'll see what I can come up with.

Let's see what you look like...:


What's your Name?:
You ask for my name
But will not give your own first
Ketsuha Aki


I see... Well so far that matches up.
How Old are you?:
My age is not high
Yet my wisdom is great
Only twentyfive


Well aren't you just in the Prime of your life.
Are you a boy or girl? I can never tell.:
Your eyes may lie, but
I assure you I tell truth
For I am a man


Well that explains the.. Ahem nevermind.
Are you a Mandaii, Jedaii? Or one of the Rebellions Samurai?:
Mandaii have great strength
The rebellion have great numbers
The Jedaii have me


Glad to have you here, since everyone needs to send their best.
Let me see your weapons though. Gotta know what you have for.. Safety.:
I wield the blades of
My kin, yet not only this
The bow if my friend

(Katana (long sword), wakizashi (short sword) and Yumi (long bow))

Well aren't you a tough guy err.. Gal I can't remember now.
Unsheath your blade though. Let me see if it glows:
The blade of my sword
Is sharp and dangerous, yet
It glows like the sun

(yellow)

Oh well! A jedaii, right you told me that...
So what rank are you in the order?:
Not a padawan
Yet I am not a master
I am samurai


Very nice.. I guess. Anyways. I'm gonna need to ask you some questions. Just to get an idea of how you act, what you're like.

You're sitting in a tea house when a Ronin enters, he demands that the owner pay him two hundred gold, and serve him a drink... The Owner refuses, and it seems the Ronin may get violent. Do you intervene? If so, how?
A beggar enters
Asking for drink and money
His blade is anger

To aid the owner
I ask Ronin to leave
With peace and honour

If he should not go
I have a hand on my blade
I will cut him down

Then I ask for more
Tea from the tea house owner
I may drink for free


Master Yoda has just given you a task to complete, but a 'special' friend is waiting for you. Unfortunately you cannot observe both tasks, and must try and appease both Master Yoda, and the friend, or risk the scorn from one of the two. What do you do?
Great respect I have
For the master of my kin
His word is my law

Yet friendship is gold
And my allies are like air
I can't live alone

To find a balance
May be impossible, but
I will do my best

If I should fail, then
All my friends knows my master
His word is my law


Yourself and a group of other warriors have found themselves at a camp where some merchants are being attacked by Imperial Samurai.

Or fight to save those who are still at risk of being killed?
To aid an injured
Instead of joining the fight
Can maybe save him

Yet other men die
Or are injured themselves
As I heal the sick

A wound cannot heal
Until it has stopped bleeding
I join the battle

When they are all gone
Imperial samurai
I help the injured


Well... Those were some interesting answers. Anyways you pass, but I'll be keeping a eye on you. Kubo sees everything.
Either you speak lies
Or in riddles, you could not
Discern my gender

If you have power
In your eyes, then use it well
You have not so far

Now step aside, Oni
I will not delay, Master
Yoda expects me

What's your Name?:
Fenris Stalker.

I see... Well so far that matches up.

27.

Well aren't you just in the Prime of your life.
Are you a boy or girl? I can never tell.:
male.

Well that explains the.. Ahem nevermind.
Are you a Mandaii, Jedaii? Or one of the Rebellions Samurai?:
... I used to be Jedaii. I seek revolution.

Glad to have you here, since everyone needs to send their best.

He unstrung his scabbard from his back as he kneeled down to present his katana with both arms to the Oni. "This is my only soul left."

Well aren't you a tough guy err.. Gal I can't remember now.
Unsheath your blade though. Let me see if it glows:

He drew out his blade with glee it shone black.

Oh well! A jedaii, right you told me that...

Samurai.

Very nice.. I guess. Anyways. I'm gonna need to ask you some questions. Just to get an idea of how you act, what you're like.

You're sitting in a tea house when a Ronin enters, he demands that the owner pay him two hundred gold, and serve him a drink... The Owner refuses, and it seems the Ronin may get violent. Do you intervene? If so, how?

I do.
I force pull his weapon away from his person and unsheath it as I rush over to wolf around behind him to angle his blade to his throat. "This is not the civilian way, my friend. Enemies are everywhere. What say you come to my table and tell me your tale. I could pour you some sake." I would say. I then would snip his throat a bit and continue "But dead men tell no tales."

The Ronin would then beg for forgiveness and I would keep his sword, but cut off a finger. If not I would take it outside and duel him in the street- never returning his sword.

Master Yoda has just given you a task to complete, but a 'special' friend is waiting for you. Unfortunately you cannot observe both tasks, and must try and appease both Master Yoda, and the friend, or risk the scorn from one of the two. What do you do?

If they are my friend my friend will understand. Duty comes first.

Yourself and a group of other warriors have found themselves at a camp where some merchants are being attacked by Imperial Samurai. People lay about injured, others in terror and crying, all the while the threat of the Imperial Samurai is very real. What do you do? Do you help the injured? Comfort the mentally savaged? Or fight to save those who are still at risk of being killed?

Whatever's closest and advise my fellow warriors to be careful. I will join them in combat if I make it that far. First I will help the wounded, all lives still matter. I may be able to take lives but that doesn't mean I have to every time I should.

Well... Those were some interesting answers. Anyways you pass, but I'll be keeping an eye on you. Kubo sees everything.

Whatever.
