[OOC] The War for Baji (open)

[Wei Phoenix]

Yuudai never expects to die so no, but she would defend you all, thought hat is the same for everyone she passes.

@Kitsune

Yeah everyone would defend the rest of the team but would she willingly die for them? If an enemy clan had us captured with no escape and said he would let us go if one person stood forward as a sacrifice then would she offer herself or stay quiet?

[Kitsune]

Yuudai would be confused, what is this captured? You mean delaying until she can beat them into the dirt right? And the stepping forward is when the plan is put in motion?

XD

[Xartarin]

I could easily see Metou sacrificing herself to save someone younger, but not just to save the relics or something. As far as I know, Metou thinks their importance is merely symbolic.

[Mogtaki]

Death isn't a thing Gin would think about so he'd rather live, easy peasy. He'd probably try to kill everything before he went, though.

Soooo to answer the question...who knows!

[Lekkuen]

Posted, they are still talking but actually on the move. Trust me though that the choice to go down the ru path will have effects soon. >=3

Also I'm gonna type some info about Ru in here soon, just in case one of your characters have specific info.

[GambolMuse]

So it's cool to have Tetsuya be ahead in Ru already?

[Lekkuen]

Yeah thought that was the plan/what you wanted?

[GambolMuse]

It was, just making sure that it doesn't conflict with anything :3

[Lekkuen]

Some ru stuff

Ru

The small village of Ru has thrived in the Hasiano region of Baji for as far back as any records go. They pride themselves on their traditions which they claim come from a different human tribe than the one that the other clans of the region descended from. They have a strong focus on the path of the warrior and every child is trained to in a variety of martial arts from them and their sister village Kenzo. Both villages while small in population have successfully defended themselves from every larger clan that has tried to take them, their warriors having more advanced Ki arts than most of their neighbors. They have had mostly female leaders something unusual for the region and their insistence on training all women to be warriors has made them looked at strangely by more traditional villages.

They have grow a small amount of their food and mostly hunt or trade with Kenzo for the rest of what the village eats. Most of their artwork and buildings feature weapon motifs that emphasis the beauty of combat instead of just killing your enemy. Most of their festivals involve tournaments with even the elderly members of the two villages taking part and everyone having a blast. Many seek them out for mercenary work but for the most part they are content to only defend or fight for the fun/beauty of it instead of actually engaging in wars. Their current leader is Lady Himiko Ru the latest in a long line of village chiefs who focus on their swordsman style. She is generally welcoming and friendly to clans and outsiders but has little patience for those trying to involve her people in their war or politics.

The village's relationship with Shima specifically is mostly indifference, they are friendly to one another but have very little contact outside of individuals passing through on occasion. Most of Shima hasn't seen Ru or its sister village in person and only knows that they are one of the nearby unaffiliated villages.

[GambolMuse]

There we are, hope its okay *o* Wanted to do something a little fun.

[Kitsune]

@Lekkuen

I knew it! >:0
So many hints of how the people would help us shouldn't have been ignored -x-

Also a shame that Yuudai was not born in Ru XD

[Wei Phoenix]

But there's a hot chick (assumingly) in Ru and she runs the place so that's the logical choice. I swear though, if Lady Ru is some old bat then we're burning the village down.

[Lekkuen]

@Lekkuen

Also a shame that Yuudai was not born in Ru XD

@Kitsune

So she could fight all day?

[Kitsune]

More like have fun how she liked. HEr mother was strict when she wanted to be XD

[Lekkuen]

Youkai experts are mean

[Kitsune]

I hope we get to ru soon and pick up Vena.

How are they going to end up joining the group?

[Wei Phoenix]

Probably by running into us and saying "I'm here on business with Shima as well."

[Xartarin]

I got a lot of work to do today but I'll catch up and maybe post over the weekend.

[Lekkuen]
