Welcome to Gaia! ::

The "feudal" period of Japanese history was dominated by the powerful regional families (Daimyo) and the military rule of warlords (Shogun). This era of war was full of powerful samurai and skilled ninja. Each group dedicates their life to the battle in their own unique way, donating their skills to their shogun in an effort to gain power. How will you live?

CHARACTERS

THE SAMURAI: The inventors of honor. Samurai were respected, and often held positions of high rank. Followers of Bushido, the way of the warrior. These gentlemen (and sometimes ladies) were loyal to their lords, prepared to gives their lives at any moment. Their speed and strength won them many battles and legends in history.

THE NINJA: The inventors of badassness. Unlike samurai, ninjas could care less about tarnishing their reputation and frequently used less respectable methods of business. For example, espionage (masters of disguises, they could fool you into thinking they were your mother), sabotage (they liked to light things on fire), infiltration (they didn't know what 'No Trespassing' meant), and assassination. Masters of stealth, they could win a battle before it was even fought.

THE SHOGUN: Literally the bosses. Tthey made the rules, sent samurai and ninja to battle, and sometimes partook in the battles themselves. Think equivalent to 'General of the Army' or 'Generalissimo.' Don't cross a shogun or you're likely to find yourself up against a very angry army.

"What's next Okushin?" Mitsuhide was in a council of his clan. They were adressing military movements and bases.

"Well you see lord Mitsuhide, Takonogi base stationed on the river that sends direct water to the city of Okosa has been taken over by a large number of Samurai. They are under the leadership of Shimiogin and they are damming up the river to prevent the free people of Okosa to get water. These people are farmers mainly and they need the water for the crops. We cannot allow this to continue. What are we to do? We are actually quite outnumbered by the enemy this time my lord At least the ammount of soldiers we could send would be outnumbered.

Mitsuhide pondered in his chair. He sat forward and back again. He began to wonder what the best course of action would be. "Send in the Hushogi unit. I will lead them in Unabi Hushogi's absence." Sopme murmurs were heard around the table.

"Are you certain my lord? Very well I will make the preparations now."

"Okay now leave to my own preparations." Mitsuhide walked to his chambers and closed the sliding bamboo door. He walked to his armoire and opened it to reveal his enchanted grey silk ninja garb. He garrbed it and put it on. He brought his twin crescent swords and throwing knives. "I will not need the tripwire Kunai. Not this time." He was just finishing getting ready when his under captain came to the door.

"The Hushogi unit is ready."

"Good I will be out soon. He finished his preparations and walked ou to a squad of twenty men. He nodded and they nodded back. "Now lets go men." He hopped up an over to the roof of the gate. His men followed as he jumped of the high gate and hit the floor. He dashed of in the direction of the river base. followed by twenty ninja.

Kiro saw some thugs trying to beat the crape out of some guy for his money and said,"Wow, you thugs must be pretty weak to beat up some one defenseless. " One of them looked at Kiro and said"What did you say! Some one like you should stay out of this!" He threw the guy down and charged him, and Kiro just held out is hand and the hidden blade came out and impaled him quickly and went back in. He fell with a thud and blood rushing out of his shoulder. "I advise you guys to tack your buddy and leave...........NOW!"

Kiro saw the girl in the kimono and said,"Thank you. Its only in case of an emergency."He said not saying any thing about the other one.

"No. I'm just a wondering samurai and it's for if my buster blade is out of hand, and I'm seconds from death. Yes I know its not with me but I placed it some where."Kiro said trying not to show his curiosity to her as he put his hands in his pockets.
