Plot: Japan had led a peaceful existance until two Clans, the Fukitsu Clan and the Giman Clan began warring against the other. Because of their greed, the country became poor and was ridden with poverty and hunger. The two clans fought one another for years until they both gained one half of japan. The Fukitsu Clan owned eastern Japan and the Giman Clan owed western Japan. For now, the two dynasties were at a standstill, both not daring to attack the other in fear of loosing their land; but both still hated the other with such a passion that neither side refused to give up their land. Although there was no other real battles, small skirmishes which lasted mostly for only a day plagued the country for 100 years.

During the time of no fighting, which was called Ko-Rudouxo-Reisen, the two dynasties began training their best warriors. Over the century, the Fukistu Clan had trained their warriors under the teachings of the Bushi; the samurai, the warriors of the ethic code of Bushido while the Giman clan trained their warriors under the teachers of the ninja, the Nonuse; the students of the art of stealth.

Now the greatest war that Japan will ever witness will take place; the war between the Samurai and the Ninja....

Update
However, it has come to the attention of a samurai that there are ninja within Fukistu; boys who were once samurai, now turned into ninjas, trained to destroy the dyasty of Fukistu

Weapons/Items

You may only start off with two items/weapons when you begin roleplaying. But as you progress, you will be able to attain more... but only I will decide when the time is right.

Samurai:

1. Daisho (All Samurai should begin with this set)
a) Katana - Curved, Single-Bladed sword used for cutting. The "heart" of the samurai.
b) Wakizashi "Honor Blade" - Shorter than the Katana (12-24 inches), usually used for stabbing and seppuku; ritual suicide. Given to a male child along with a name when they become a Samurai through the ritual Genpuku. Always stays by a Samurai's side and is used when a Katana is not present.

2. Tanto - A smaller dagger worn in place of the Wakizashi (6-12 inches) with no ridge-line. They are mostly used for stabbing but can also be used for slashing.

3. Yumi - The Samurai's bow. The Yumi stands over two meters and can fire various projectiles at an effective range of 50 meters; 100 meters if range is not an issue. Because of its asymmetric shape, it can be fired on either side of a horse easily.

4. Yari - The Samurai's spear. Stands from 1 meter to six meters, but Samurai usually carry the smaller designs. The blade of the Yari (few centimeters to 3 meters) resembles that of a dagger, straight bladed and double-edged. Used to cut and stab.

5. Naginata - A pole weapon consisted of a wooden shaft with a curved blade fashioned onto the end.

6. Tachi - A longer version of the Katana (78cm). Because of its length, it is normally used on horseback.

7. Jo - Four foot long wooden Staff. (A weapon used well against swords)

8. Bo - A long stick about six feet long which is wielded normally with two hands. A weapon mostly used for self defense, can preform many blocks and parries. It is good with joint-locks and subduing the enemey without killing them.

9. Grenade - Hand-held bomb thrown by hand and by rifle.

10. Catapults - Siege weapons used to hurl a projectile a great distance.

11. Cannons - A large tubular firearm designed to fire a heavy projectile over a considerable distance

12. Gatling Gun - the first successful rapid-repeating fire arm

13. Rifle - A firearm that uses a spiral groove cut into the barrel to spin a projectile (usually a bullet), thus improving accuracy and range of the projectile

Ninjas:

1. Shuriken - Throwing blades
a) Bo Shuriken - darts
b) kurumaken - throwing "stars", usually having up to four points

2. Shuko (Handclaws) - A hand accessory with many spikes, used to scratch opponents and to scale buildings, trees and poles etc.

3. Kunai - A leaf-shaped blade (20-60cm)

4. Makibishi - Small, spined caltrops used to deter pursuit. It is made up of four (or more) sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base

5. Bakurai-bishi - Much like hte Makibishi, except that when stepped on, the object would explode.

6. Bow (Long and Short) - The bow and arrow was a weapon used by the ninja as well as the samurai. There were two types of bows used, the short bow and the long bow. The arrows were sometimes dipped in poison to make them deadlier. Kunoichi (female ninja) were experts with the bow and arrow.

7. Chigiriki - This weapon is a 2 foot long straight stick, with a 2-1/2 chain attached to the top with a ball with spikes. This weapon is considered to be the japanese morning star. The chain could be fitted in side the stick like the Kusari-Gama/Kama, and used as a mace.

8. Fukiya - The fukiya was used to shoot darts (sometimes poisoned) at an enemy from a distance and, since it made almost no noise, the Ninja's hiding place wasn't threatened by using this weapon. Aside from launching darts, the blowgun could be used as a snorkel while the Ninja was underwater. Since the fukiya was made of bamboo, it blended in with the reeds in the water, therefore enabling the Ninja to stay submerged for hours, if necessary.

9. Neko-te - The Neko-te were usually used by the kunoichi (female ninja). The weapon is strong iron fingernails that were fastened into leather bands fitted on the fingers, and resembled claws (not like that of of the shuko, ashiko) and were also dipped in poisons. The eyes were a favorite spot for slashing.

10. Tessen - The Tessen was a folding fan with an iron frame and, when folded, was used to club an enemy. A few different variations were invented, including one with a sharp edge on the outside of the framework so that, instead of only being able to club a person, the ninja could cut as well.

11. Tanto - The tanto, or knife, was an important weapon in the ninja's arsenal. Like the ninja-to, the tanto was not made of the high quality steel that the samurai's sword was but the ninja made up for this by using the tanto as a multi-purpose tool.

12. Ozutsu (Cannon) - Used to fire fiery sparks as well as projectiles at a target

13. Chokuto - Straight, single-ended swords.

Well, Broc, I was going to give the "Other" category a try, but it seems that you're in need of other samurai. xd

Ryoto awoke from his deep meditation; the time was near. Rising to his feet, the samurai looked out at the Japanese Maples that surrounded the shrine where he meditated daily. It was that time of year where the leaves would fall from the branches and the red would not be seen again for many months. "Forboding..." Sighing, Ryoto turned away from the sight, making his way into the temple. It was still quite early in the morning, so many of the other samurai along with the townspeople were still asleep. Quietly, Ryoto made his way into the temple, the only light coming from the one candle that always stayed lit; representing the neverending soul of Fukistu. He had only taken a few steps, when a voice broke the silence. Ryoto at once recognized it to be his master Yinjin. No matter how much he trained, he could never sence his aura; he would always be one step ahead of him. In some senses however, it was good. Always giving Ryoto the modivation to continue his training and spiritual guidance. "It is early, young one. The Sun God still rests, so why must your eyes see what he does not?" Ryoto turned to where he heard the voice. Even with the little light that was given to aid his site, he could still not spot Yinjin. "Forgive me, master. But I cannot sleep. I feel something... something has altered. I believe that war will soon erupt once again."

Yinjin did not respond for sometime. But when he did, he brought himself into the light, slowly rising to his feet and making his way over to Ryoto. Yinjin looked quite old. However, he was much older than he looked. Becauase of his constant meditation, Yinjin had been able to preserve much of his life so he could live longer. But Ryoto knew that his light was flickering. Even Yinjin knew it. "I have felt it to, Masafumi. It will not be long until the blood of the samurai drenches the grass. Many will die, I fear. But there is nothing we can do. As I have told you, you must follow your soul, Masafumi. Peace cannot be taken with words now... it must be taken with force...."

Kent walked through the forest. Even at a young age, he was a master of the ninja arts. He had just been to his secret spot in the forest, deftly losing any pursuers who were curious. Now his sharp eyes picked out the three students hiding of the edge of the trail he walked. Kent's mouth twitched. It was Gordio and his two goons. The three students had been constantly trying to prove that they were better then him at the arts of the ninja. They haven't succeded once yet. Their cameflauge techniques were off revealing the spots of discolored foliage where they hid. His quick feet sent him into the shadows of the trees where his black skin hid him from view. He heard three barely audible gasps from them. He did not particularly care to fight them right now so his flitting black form headed toward the village.

Anima hummed a small song her mother had taught her while stirring some rice in a curved pan, flipping it everynow and then. She tossed it some, catching it into a bowl, adding some chopped chicken sauce over the rice, adding it to a meal. She went back to herbeef ramen stew, stirring it and adding some flavor herbs she had gathered. She stirred it all together, pouring it into a bowl, adding it to the order, hitting a hanging bell.
