Geisha Girl — Roleplayer Guild

Both the victor
and the vanquished are
but drops of dew,
but bolts of lightning -
thus should we view the world.

A broken Sword, Cry The Raven, Death is the End

The year is 1573, the city Satu. The Matsudaira Clan rule here with the Oda on one side while the Imagawa are on the other. The Matsudaira have tried riding the fence during the conflict taking place, but now with Clan Sutomu loyal to the Oda setting up just outside of town tensions have rose and Matsudaira feels more compelled to choose sides. The Imagawa seem to be the likely choice as they are old allies, but the power Oda holds in Japan makes him a strong possibility. Now with the increase of the Kabuki-Mono the Matsudaira have increased the presence of their Samurai amongst the civilians to keep the thugs in check, this has also lead to the Sutomu travel into town in armed groups and create a higher chance for armed conflict to take place. Satu has become a pot coming close to the point of boiling Ninja have been called in by both Clans so that if necessary they will do what a Samurai cannot.

OOC info
This is a roleplay using a fictional town in a real province of Japan with a real Samurai clan Matsudaira. Sutomu on the other hand is not a actual Clan.

I will be allowing Female Samurai, and female ninja. Also players may be half Oni (though if that gets out of hand I will stamp it out).

Players make take on the role of a Samurai in the Matsudaira, Sutomu, or Kabuki-Mono. Players will be able to take on the role of a Ninja of the Iga or Fuma clans. (Ninja take many forms from your traditional Shinobi to a deadly Geisha Assassin.)

The Ninja Clans will be the Iga Clan (Working for the Matsudaira) and the Fuma working for (Sutomu)

If these ideas interest you, please post your interest and I’ll make a OOC with a character skeleton and everything.

(Forewarning, this will not be a animeesque RP while there are fantastic elements there won’t anything to extreme. The part Oni will have some exception characteristics as will human characters, but nothing in the extreme. Also for character appearances if you use a Anime picture for you character I’d rather it be tasteful and well done instead of extremely cartoony. )

Rules
1. This will be a high casual RP so… Try and put out two well done paragraphs, or at least one if you can’t do two. No one liners or a few sentences, this isn’t free roleplay after all.
2. Mature sexual situations etc need to be taken to PMs, for any character under 18 let’s not get involved into anything to romantic please.
3. Let’s get along, some of us may be enemies in the RP, but we can be friends in OOC. (I made a rhyme)
4. This is a serious feudal era Japan roleplay. There will be drama and violence. This isn’t a slapstick comedy let’s not make it into one. Let’s keep that feeling of dramatics involved.
5. Have fun, this is the most important rule. If you’re not having fun what’s the point?

Factions

Matsudaira, a minor clan, but powerful nonetheless they are a traditional Japanese family and have not yet taken sides in the war that is slowly waging around them. They are prideful though and with the entrance of the Sutomu near their town they have begun heavily considering joining the Imagawa.

Sutomu, a very minor family, but heavily backed by the Oda they have moved just outside of Satu to try and influence the Matsudaira to join the oda, they are a clan that is not completely traditional and would even go so far as to use Oni, and assassination.

Kabuki-Mono, a loose group of Ronin and thugs, they have taken up themselves as being the “top dogs” of the town carrying weapons that are appropriate for their station wear odd sets of clothing in bright vibrant colors. They seek to take over the town in a subtle manner yet brutish manner by manipulating the citizen through violence and sabotage.

Iga Clan, like all Ninja clan the Iga are surrounded by darkness and secrecy, they came at the behest of the Matsudaira to protect the Clan at night and in the darkness from threats that those not familiar would never see.

Fuma Clan, some would say they are Oni, some would say they are only halfway there, but only they know the truth. They are a force to be reckoned with that even the Iga Ninja use caution before them. They have come to aid the Sutomu at the order of the Oda, they are here to aid, but not serve…

Other, This could be anything from a fisherman to a Geisha entertainer. (I would prefer that this faction be lightly used as I would like there to be plenty of characters in the main factions so that the story can continue)
