Ditto on the economics. Because if it is really like medieval Japan, then my economist character will have quite a lot of work to do.
Such as inventing double-entry bookkeeping just to make the complex task of accounting more manageable, that way she can spend more time with her lord. (Really, medieval Japanese accounting was very time and manpower consuming. Any improvement would be a major boon to economics overall.)
In fact, theres plenty of time period appropriate economic innovations my char could try in order to win over her love with ink and paper instead of swords.

Heir of the Mitsumine Clan - A Japanese Style Clan Raising RP

Forum: Casual Interest Checks
Call me interested, I've got a few ideas on how to join.
A beautiful young woman who is accountant, merchant, and mistress of whispers for the clan. In theory, she's little more than an assistant amongst many to the old wizened master of coin. In practice, everybody knows she is the one pulling the clan's financial strings and managing their informers, and does so very well. Has a crush on her young clan master despite her low birth. How she came to know numbers and the ways of merchants so well is a story she never tells the same way twice.
Alternatively, I could try for a samurai character.
I know quite a bit of Japanese language, although I'll need to brush up on my samurai-era stuff. This looks to be a interesting game.

Call me interested. Profile coming when I have time to work on it.
Posted. Don't feel right about its quality, but I'm not certain how to further play my hand.
This is an interesting roleplay format. How to be a dating sim heroine, in relation to a female main character? Hmm.

Tatiana tapped her foot as she waited for "her highness" to awake to her usual screaming tirade. And didn't hear it at all. She raised an eyebrow at that. Someone felt off, really, really off. She couldn't put her finger on it, but it felt serious. And she always took her gut feeling rather seriously after the Timmet incident.
Her gut feelings promptly compounded when Darcy Walker stepped out of the room, minus verbal abuse or any visible impact marks. This a major change in character. Putting one hand to a holster at her waist, she gave a slight nod to the young man. "Good morning mister Walker. How's our little princess? Did she somehow develop manners recently?"
She glanced at her watch. Time to return to her usual patrol soon. If little-miss-magic-terror didn't show her face soon, Tatiana decided to confront her elsewhere later and hope she didn't cause a scene at the start of the year. She didn't like it, this bitch needed a full-time watchdog, but duty was calling soon.
Tatiana Status:
Tatiana is now suspicious of Calista Albescu
+1 Relationship points: "Let's hope she keeps being nice today."
Relationship at: -89, Tatiana has a serious grudge against you. Your a high-level target in her eyes.

Nation's Name: Interstellar Trust Inc, Columbus Sector. "IT-Columbus"
National Flag: N/A
Location: Dagon
Planetary Capital City: Freeport
History:
Government and politics:
-General description of Government and Politics: IT is a massive megacorporation, and arranged as such, with major stockholders holding sway over the Board of Directors, who then grant CEO leadership positions to subordinates. While in theory a democratic system, with each stock a person holds being worth a vote, the "Tycoons" who run the Board of Directors retain several million stocks. Effectively making the IT an oligopoly of the rich and powerful, or most influential.
-Government Spending- High, as the nation is synonymous with the corporation that is IT.
-Branches of government(If applicable)- WIP
-Description of Law Enforcement and Penal System- WIP
-Foreign relations- WIP
-Notable People concerning nation's Government and Politics-
Tycoon-CEO Cyrina Greyhound, chairwoman of the Board of Directors and effective ruler of IT-Columbus.
CEO Miles Tayber, merchant marine operations director.
CEO Yvette Kratkoff, mining operations director.
CEO Helina Bartok, R&D director
"The Courier"- A faceless messenger operative from IT-Central to monitor system operations and report back to the core worlds. Given near-absolute authority over all IT-assets in Columbus to fulfill his orders.
CEO-Admiral Arkon Suvorov, supreme commander of IT-Columbus security forces.
CEO-Admiral Ragnar Garroway, IT-Sec commander of the IT 1st Corporate Security Fleet
CEO-Admiral Victoria Halsey, IT-Sec commander of the 2nd Corporate Security Fleet
CEO-Admiral *Architect, IT-Sec commander of the Corporate Reserve and Logistics Fleet, also an AI.
Tycoon CEO Sumner, sector Steelhead Security chief executive.
Military:
-Coat of Arms(If applicable)- N/A
-Size of Military- 2 million personnel (Not counting civilian support contractors)
-Branches-
-Equipment-
In general, IT and its mercenary subcontractors have off-the-shelf level hardware and equipment. While not cutting-edge gear or on par with advanced military tech, IT-affiliated mercs have reliable and well proven equipment, as well as economical to locally manufacture and maintain without exotic materials or skills required. Cutting down on expensive imported hardware from the core worlds, besides advanced ship hulls.
Most corporate navy ships are either armed merchant and explorer ships, or security and patrol ships meant to fight pirates and protect corporate assets. Force projection is limited and mostly defensive oriented, except for a few wide-ranging assets like Styker's Freelancers. Majority of their capital ships are carriers meant to haul troops and fighters for planetary ops, not engage in direct space combat, although they retain onboard missiles and laser turrets.
-Generalized description-
IT-Security
The main IT private security forces consist of a small corps of highly-trained corporate operatives, supplemented by security and combat mercenary units hired by Interstellar Trust. Their space navy is built around a block of carriers supported by patrol corvettes and destroyers largely meant for system defense and anti-piracy ops.
Notable Mercenary Units:
Steelhead Security: One of the largest mercenary companies spanning human space, Steelhead Security has been a long-standing high-intensity security contractor for IT, and it took little convincing for them to set up a sizable local subdivision in the Columbus sector. While modestly equipped, they specialize in combined arms and mass-mobilization at affordable prices on the ground, while utilizing a sizable armed merchant and explorer-cruiser fleet in space.
Investment Recovery Service Inc: For times when IT-Columbus requires a more heavy-handed means to secure its assets and guarantee investment recovery from noncompliant clients, they turn to the IRS. A heavy merc company, favoring medium mechs, tanks, and close air support gunships, they are a considerable asset when forcing contract compliance or ensuring asset security. However most of their experience has been in small-scale security ops. Full-scale war is not in their docket as of yet.
Styker's Freelancers: A more oddball unit recruited by IT-Columbus, Freelancer Styker commands a personal heavy battlecruiser with a brigade of elite high-mobility mercs paired with advanced combat robotics. While difficult to control, Styker's freewheeling tactics and rapid mobilization ability make him a valuable offensive and exploration asset to IT, regardless of his choice of hobbies (such as accumulating a very attractive command staff).
Economy:
-GDP: *High*
-National Currency: Corporate Utility Units "Utils"
-Main Sources of Income- Bycorium Mining/Fracking, Planetary Exploitation, Investments, Mercenary contracting
-Trade Partners- WIP, large number of clients in the core worlds.
-Generalized description- IT-Columbus, despite its size as a small country, is still first and foremost a corporation out to make money. And they are making a lot of it, with their expertise in extreme planetary exploitation and mining resulting in major Bycorium exports back to the core worlds, along with various mineral and biological products sent back home as well, coupled with in-system trade and investment into wildcat mining operations. Being able to spare mercenaries to hire out to other factions also makes some nice pocket change.
Demographics:
-Population- 40 million, plus another 20 million transient corporate population.
-Race and Ethnicity- Various, IT is a very open megacorp, and anyone of any ethnic creed or race is welcome to become a valued employee. Although British and Japanese employees tend to dominate the middle management and specialist ranks for some reason, while Russians and Germans make up a major part of the worker-ranks.
-Languages- Trade Common, Anglic, Neo-Asian.
-Culture: High consumerism, hypercapitalistic, free market on almost every level.
-Generalized description:
IT-Columbus is one subdivision of a massive interstellar megacorporation, and its transplanted most of that corporate attitude into the Columbus sector with gusto. While IT does have strong employee discipline and hard work attitudes, the average employee is also afforded a certain degree of luxury and comfort with mass-media and a wide variety of consumer goods to enjoy, happy and well-paid employees leading to greater contributions to the economy of course. The higher ranking managers and executives naturally have better conditions corresponding to their rank and stockholdings, while the Tycoons live in unimaginable luxury.

"GOOD MORNING ACADEMY!"
"Glad to see some people never change." Yawned Tatiana as she got out of bed to see her roommate at the window starting her usual energetic girl routine by declaring good morning to everybody. While it was annoying at times, the disciplinary squad leader had to admit Emi's optimism was always worth waking up for.
While Emi went through a string of 'good-morning's' to everything around her, Tatiana just sighed and went to put on her uniform. Today was the opening day, and the disciplinary corps had to make a solid first impression. From her posture to her preparedness to her uniform, everything had to be impeccable for the first day of the year. Even her body....
"I swear this body doesn't like me." She muttered whilst fiddling with her uniform jacket which seemed to be a bit tighter than it ought to be. She knew she wasn't slacking off on daily training, so the only alternative was that her body was rejecting being a iron-fisted disciplinary squad member. Damnit, she didn't want to be another pretty face! (Although come to think of it, her mom hadn't been anywhere near petite either.)
"TATIANA! LETS GET GOING!" Emi's sudden outburst snapped her out of her reverie, and made her hastily finish dressing before turning to find Emi greeting all six of her pact-spirits and familiars around the small table in the dorm room whilst grabbing her schoolbag. Grabbing her own pre-packed bag and arsenal bandolier, Tatiana couldn't help but smile with her roommate as they left the room to the sound of others rousing and getting ready for their first day of the new academy year.
It was unfortunate though that she had to pass through her door on the way out. For the moment, it was quiet, but Tatiana decided to hang around for a few minutes outside the door just to make sure one of the "pride and joys of the academy" wasn't going to cause trouble this year.

Gee, thanks. ;)
Hey, its a challenge for the hero! If you want unconventional magic, then a gun-mage is as unconventional as it can get. But how to get this heroine of the discipline squad on your side? Or at least not hounding you all the time. That is the question.
Tatiana is of dubious orientation.
I'm thinking of making her hate the male protagonist, but actually like the heroine despite her version of being a abusive power-user, because she thinks she can rediscipline a girl, but the boy is unsalvagable.

:DSince you have pleased me greatly, I gift Hunter Griffon with You know what, your familiar is a talking broken hilt of an enchanted sword. It has a sexy female voice, and has a tendency to talk about boobs.
O_o
Thats going to make for interesting encounters with the 2nd Disciplinary Squad leader when they bump into eachother.
Especially since she's got a few body self-image issues. Is she too pretty to be a iron-fisted rule enforcer? This will be fun.
