Too bad he gets downgraded to NPC should I GM this.

[KiltmanBagz]

dear me oh my this game got away from me. Curse you 'the real world' and making life so crazy these past few days.

While I'm still interested in this game ( I love Shinju so much she'll be a character I keep around for other games lol ) I not sure I can keep up with something this size and level of activity ( clearly given I haven't at all posted yet ) so I guess I should just bow out.

[Razqua]

So I've read the IC and I have an idea for a character for this but should I join in considering how the GM just quit? Is the New GM accepting new characters?

[IncredibleBee]

I guess I'm fine with Toten GMing, since he seems to be the only one willing.

[TotenRuhm]

Well, I have sent private messages to most players and it seems that a large number wants this RP to continue. For now you should keep playing while ReaptheMusic and I sort things out.

We're also accepting new characters now, so if you haven't posted posted your CS or haven't been accepted yet, now is your chance.

[ReaptheMusic]

*chuckling at Rumikos post* Yeah she kinda is like a small barking dog huh? XD

[RumikoOhara]

Considering how polite and well mannered Sunōrirī is and of obvious high rank she'd have to see her as such or take offense

[Razqua]

Appearance: Usually wearing battle worn light samurai style armor, short black hair, stands 6 feet 6 inches tall with a thin muscular figure, wears gauntlets with retractable blades, green eyes, has a vertical scar going across his left eye.
Name: Yasei Kemono (Japanese for wild beast)
Age: 19
Class: Ruler of a city/ Warrior
Power(s): In battle Yasei is more animal than man. Completely driven by instinct, he moves with the speed and fury of a tiger. He has very honed senses of hearing and smell.
Weakness :Yasei's instinct driven nature makes him reckless. He would much rather charge into battle immediately than think over an attack plan.
Background:
Yasei's story begins in the city of Chēn no Toshi (City of Chains). Chēn no Toshi is an ancient and powerful city. For many years is was independent from the rest of the country. However when the former Emperor came to the city with the country's entire army; the rulers of the city surrendered. Chēn no Toshi has always relied on slaves labor for nearly everything. Over 70% of the cities population was of slaves. Even the city's military was entirely made of slaves, with the exception of handlers who kept in line every hundred men with a whip.
These soldiers were not treated like humans. Rather they were treated as animals. They were made to obey commands or be punished by the whip. They were not given traditional weapons. They were trained with and used steel gauntlets. Each has three retractable blades. Each blade was as sharp as a katana but not quite as long.
In recent years the city has been fighting off hoards of demons. Many slaves died but the rulers of the city and aristocracy didn't care at all. They were content with their luxurious lifestyle made possible by the slaves. During the attacks on the city one slave had distinguished himself in battle and gained the respect of the others. This slave was Yasei.
A month ago, after a massive attack on the city, Yasei was being whipped for disobeying orders. From Yasei's perspective he had simply done what he needed to be victorious in battle. He was deeply angered by this punishment and killed his handler. After the battle emotions were hot. The other slaves seeing what he had done rose up against their masters. Within a few hours every slave in the city was rebelling. Within an hour after that every Aristocrat and person of political power was dead. With no one in charge the former slaves agreed to make Yasei their ruler. Yasei vowed to kill the two brothers who controlled the country and free every slave. He now is traveling to nearby towns to gain support.
Fun Fact: While by no means cruel Yasei is easily angered.

I don't know why but it double posted. Any way opinions?

[IncredibleBee]

Neat, a tiger motif.

Well... That's an interesting backstory. I like the character art in particular. But... I think it lacks something. Maybe you could explain a little further?

[RumikoOhara]

Okay I edited her weaknesses, if any are disatisfactory I will add new ones

[Nicias Askani]

Rumiko... can you explain you ability "the void" to me. Also does your character have any physical weaknesses that are well....physical. while her inability to look for love is rather humanizing it doesnt quite effect her abilities. Or if it does its not in a way i understand clearly

Also to the GMs. I plan on resubmitting my CS. When ever my internet descides to return.(im on my phone)

[TotenRuhm]

Well, it's better than before. But I agree with Nicias Askani. Maybe at least one flaw that puts her at a disadvantage in certain situations. Other than that I think it's fine.

[RumikoOhara]

Physical weakness was not the stated requirement so I didn't give one
All her weakness are social or personal

In Buddhism, void does not imply something lacking, but rather the elimination of what is superfluous.

In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom exists, principle exists, the way exists. Spirit is Void.

The hyoho of the body and the massive rock are both shown in Ku (emptiness). Musashi says to make your emptiness your way, and your way your emptiness. The word Ku is entirely good and contains no evil.
However, the mind presented in Gorin no Sho is the spiritual mind which frees itself from ego. Musashi called this the hyoho of Jisso-enmon (the ultimate reality and perfection), in which one receives peacefully, thankfully, everything in the world for what it is, good or bad, for the benefit of oneself and others.

By meditating on the Void Sunōrirī becomes empty and unaffected by most if not all magic that tries to directly affect her
It's the only mystical thing she does

If the Void is too powerful (empty) I will replace it with "The Book of Earth"
The Earth book, according to Go Rin No Sho, is mentioned as the book that refers expressly to the strategy taught by Musashi at the Ichi School, and it is said to be how to distinguish the way through "Sword-Fencing", or "Swordsmanship". The idea of strategy would be encouraged to be very astute in their study and strategy:
Of course that sounds a bit OP to me because it would double her ability with weapons and attack

Sunōrirī is a follower of The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho) and has studied all five books
