Lekkuen — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Takumi Dakun  
Clan: Kunteki 
Title: Young Wing  
Gender: Male
Age:  22

Race: Human
Height: 5'7
Weight: 150 lbs
Appearance:


Occupation: Guide

Notable Skills: As a guide he is very knowledgeable of all the common roads through Baji, and good at making his own paths to guide towards or around specified things.  While not an expert tracker by any means he is more than capable of finding needed animals for food or materials.  

Magical Abilities: The ability to communicate with any type of corvid.   

Ki Techniques/powers:  None

Weapons: A Tanto

Other Gear:

Personality: A pretty laid back young man, unconcerned with most of the problems facing his own clan and the region at large.  He is mostly concerned with his own well being will do whatever he can to avoid trouble.  He holds very little loyalty to his clan and finds it very annoying when clients go on about their clans.  

Brief history: Not much to Takumi, he was one of the younger members of his family and at an early age was trained to be a guide like most of his clan.  He had a real aptitude for learning new things and the clan was very happy with him and his family as a result.  While his people still feel he has potential, he has decided to work farther and farther away as time went on and Naji began to call on them for actual scouting more often.  He was given the job of guiding the Shima group because he happened to be in the area and the possible reward was far too great to pass up. 

Other:  He has a lot of knowledge of the various clans scattered across the islands, some through contact and others through texts he finds and traders he talks to.




NPCS

Name: Tenzin Shima 
Clan: Shima 
Title: Lord Shima  
Gender: Male
Age:  46 

Race: Human
Height: 5'10
Weight: 147 lbs
Appearance:



Occupation: Head of the Shima Clan

Notable Skills:
He is an expert swordsman , trained from a young age by the best tutors his father could gather. He is capable of fighting against man and beast, and in his youth helped banish several demonic beings from his lands.  

While Swordsmanship is his specialty he is no slouch in hand to hand, having been trained in one of the Naji striking styles as well as his own Clans grappling art.  

He holds and extensive knowledge of youkai and other supernatural beings, particularly how to deal with them both peacefully and violently. He is one of the most knowledgeable clan leaders in the Isles in regards to those subjects. 

Magical Abilities: Like all of his family he is capable of seeing spirits even when they are invisible to human eyes as well as capable of seeing ripples in the realm as they enter the physical world. He is also capable of physically harming them both with hand and with blade, allowing him to physically disperse them if needed instead of using seals and rituals.  This blessing was bestowed on his family as a gift back when they were given their relics.  

Ki Techniques/powers:
Ki Strike: By focusing his energy he is capable of increasing the power of hi strikes, with a blade this increases the sharpness and durability of the blade.  The more he focuses the more power the strikes will have.  

Weapons: A Katana and wakizashi, neither holds any ceremonial value to the clan but they are both well forged and were made for by him the best blacksmith in the clan.  

Other Gear: None that he carries on him. As Daiymo he can gain whatever he needs though. 

Personality: A very friendly and respectful man to others, always willing to attempt to talk things out before fighting.  He has no reservation from fighting though and will quickly turn aggressive to any who wish harm on his people or even talk about such things.  He is very spiritual and often prays for forgiveness any time he resorts to military action or fighting.  He also maintains a confident tone when talking to members of his clan, even with the current grave situation he doesn't want to show them that he feels fear and plans to keep morale up.  

Brief history: The current Lord Shima inherited the title from his father at age 20 after his father died in a battle with an enemy clan.  Seeing outside aggression lead to the death of his father, only encouraged the young lord to further militarize in hopes to preventing such battles from harming the more peaceful families within the clan. His rule has been one of trying to balance their non violent and religion focused past with the warlike needs of the present, much of which is done by hiding from people just how many first strikes they actually do and speak only of their defensive capabilities.  Many older members of the clan disagreed with his more warrior mindset and that his 5 sons are all warriors instead of religious leaders, but as a whole is a well respected and honorable leader.  With the relics now gone his days are becoming more stressful but he never shows it, planning things out as if they were any normal situation and putting his faith in the group being sent after them.  

Other:  He has five sons that each are in charge of different military units. While they are all pretty well liked and get along, some fear that when Tenzin dies they will fight over control.  

His name holds a lot of weight in nearby Naji villages.


Name: Keiji Shima 
Clan: Shima
Title: The Sword of Shima
Gender: Male
Age:  19

Race: Human
Height: 5'4
Weight: 125 lbs
Appearance:

Occupation: Leader of a tactical strike team.  

Notable Skills:
He is an extremely skilled swordsman, specifically in an Iaido style art of sword drawing. He is the fastest attacker in the clan, and very few people in Baji can get the first hit on him.  As such he specializes in taking down foes with his first attack.  When that fails he is still very fast and while he isn't the best at fights of strength he is extremely nimble and fast and can almost always get more swings in than his foe. 

Magical Abilities:
Like all of his family he is capable of seeing spirits even when they are invisible to human eyes as well as capable of seeing ripples in the realm as they enter the physical world. He is also capable of physically harming them both with hand and with blade, allowing him to physically disperse them if needed instead of using seals and rituals.
Shadow Dance: By focusing spiritual energy into one of the gems embedded into his body, he creates a doppelganger bade out of raw spirit energy. For the next few seconds this doppelganger mirrors his every move, slashing outward with a replica blade of its own.  Using this drains a lot of spiritual energy and doing it too often without rest physically harms him.  

Ki Techniques/powers:
Ki Strike: By focusing his energy he is capable of increasing the power of hi strikes, with a blade this increases the sharpness and durability of the blade.  The more he focuses the more power the strikes will have.  

Weapons: A Katana forged by the finest sword maker in the Shima clan, and blessed by their finest mystics.  It interacts with the magic in his body to form a blade capable of cutting past a persons and into the spirit within them (used exorcise people through swordplay)

Other Gear: He has his retainers carry anything he needs aside from his sword. 

Personality: Most would say his feminine appearance is an accurate look into the man he is: a pampered man obsessed with pretty things and living a life of pleasure and excess.  And in the castle that is mostly accurate, the young Lord always seems happy and cheerful and more focused on romantic pursuits than any glory.  Any familiar with him know however that regardless of his personality his loyalty to his clan means he will do anything to protect them and hidden under his feminine gaze are the eyes of a hardened killer.

Brief history: This new more war ready Shima clan was the one that Keiji was born into, one of Lord Shima's several sons his life was a mix of luxury and bloodshed.  While not next in line for control he was still expected to be a leader and began fighting in the wars of his clan before he was even a teenager.  He had received the best of training and been augmented with old Shima relics to further his potential, awakening a deadly killing machine beneath his soft girly appearance.  As he grew older he was given a small group of what were officially retainers, but were actually soldiers and assassins that he would lead into missions to protect the Shima Clan's future.  While people are now aware that they often go and fight alone, no one knows the extent of what they do and rumors vary wildly.


Name: Ryuu Naji 
Clan: Naji
Title: The Naji Shogun  
Gender: Male
Age:  48 

Race: Human 
Height: 6'5
Weight: 205 lbs
Appearance:


Occupation: Leader of the Naji Clan, and self proclaimed Shogun of the self named Naji Isles.  

Notable Skills:
He is a master swordsman, one of his regions finest warriors in his youth and still one of the top fighters in middle age.  He is incredibly strong, able to out muscle the average Oni in a contest of strength and cleave through boulders without use of ki.  Unlike many other Lords he doesn't rely on his sword and is highly proficient in grappling arts of the lands, with him having defeated many enemies unarmed. 

Magical Abilities: None

Ki Techniques/powers:

Ki Charge: By focusing his energy and exploding it outwards behind him, he is able to strike forward at superhuman speeds, the energy temporarily boosting his strength and toughness. Using this technique he is capable of bursting through the toughest city defenses and pierce through some of the toughest armors in their world.  

Ki Wave: By swinging his sword he is capable of firing a wave of ki out along the arc, letting him slice things from a distance. The less energy he has, the weaker the wave. 

Deaden: He is capable of completely numbing his body to all pain, allowing him to fight through even the most painful wound. This does not stop his body from taking damage however. 

Weapons: A Katana given to him by his father. It is connected to the soul of his ancestor and as such can never be broken as long a member of the Naji family still holds control of their most sacred ancestral shrine.  

Other Gear:

Personality: While still very traditional (it is much harder for women to advance in the clan outside of marriage) he is more liberal than his father was, for example while he still hates the idea of women being in battle he will allow it if they are determined and prove themselves capable enough. He is known for being brutal towards his enemies, with very few men spared after they wage war or attack one of his villages or allies but he is far from the worst and doesn't allow the killing or rape of enemy women like many other lords of his age do. Despite his feared reputation and his father's strict and feared legacy he himself comes off as mostly friendly to the people of his clan, and his multiple wives and several children often describe him as a family man. He truly is and as such enforces harsh penalties for abandoning/neglecting children or choosing not to be involved in their life and encourages every village under his control to have festivals the children can enjoy.

Brief history: The Naji clan is one of the oldest in Baji, tracing their people back to a group of the first to enter the Isles and according to their sacred texts they are the descendants of deities from ancient japan. Ryuu is the latest in the long line of lords of the Naji clan; inheriting command after the death his father, a stern and strict man who expanded the Naji clan in a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity. Ryuu spent most of his life as a soldier and later a general and as such is a well respected leader even though the clans growth has slowed drastically with him in charge, him preferring to focus on defense now that other powerful clans have popped up nearby. He considers himself Shogun and the successor of Bear-Sama (a man who breifly united Baji to fend off invaders, when ryuu was a child). He claims the central islands are Naji land and has several times tried to convince the others clans in the region to consider themselves a nation state under his command.  He had been gaining ground on the idea but with the recent war with Nakaki his focus has drifted away from protecting weaker clans (and he often expects them to fight for him) and as such his popularity has taken a hit. 

Other:  He is one of more well known clan leaders as he travels often to try to convince people tp join his idea of making the central islands their own nation.  And in the past 2 years to get people to join his war effort.

Ki Techniques/powers:
Ru Domain: A technique passed down through her family. Their Ki extends in a massive field around herself and covers the entire village and part of the nearby forest.  This allows her to sense with near perfect accuracy who is in the area of her village and able to distinguish their race, gender, ki type, any techniques in current use, and some aspects of health and origin.  This ability also allows her to charge objects with ki; fortifying defenses with her own energy or activating traps via that use. 

Moonlight:  She fires a ball of ki into the air that explodes and illuminates a large area around her, anything illuminated by her ki becomes attuned to her own energy.  She is quickly of using the ki in the air to essentially teleport to any location attuned to her as long as she can see it.

Personality:
Despite being a clan leader, Kiri Ru is known for behaving in ways most would see more fit for a commoner. She hates formalities and is often vulgar and crude in discussions and sometimes actions, preferring to just live her life instead of worry about what's proper. She loves fighting and is just as quick to spar and decide on things via that as she is to talk to other leaders.

Brief history: The current Lady Ru was the sole daughter of the one before her, and from an early age studied the martial arts of her family.  When she became a teenager she spent several years traveling around so she could understand the world outside of their region and use that knowledge to help inform her decisions in the future. She went on many adventures on the isles and beyond before coming back in her 20s to take over Ru as their leader.  She doesn't have much of a presence in Baji politics but she is loved by her people and respected a warrior by most (and a potential wife by many more).
