The Sengoku Jidai rages in Japan, Clans at war - amidst, religious persecution.

Small wars dot the lands of a Rising Sun.

In the largest of conflicts they'd know.

________________________________________

Event Synopsis

This event (obviously) will take place in Feudal Japan, in the region of Hokkaido, set in the Sengoku Jidai and Christian persecution, it follows the story of two warring clans, both fictional, minor groups, and a fictional land itself.


This story follows the Hokkaido area, Midori-no-umi Domain, a country and rural land dominated by families big into farming and cattle-raising for trade, and among other ventures being those of greater difficulty such as the families rising to power in mining, others in support of religious groups of which pay them for protection and preaching - with other ventures in things such as Sake being much more a luxury as per producers retiring amidst the ongoing war.

The Two Clans are the, Sora Clan, a Clan with control majorly over much of the rice crops, and one of the remaining producers of Sake remaining, a staunch supporter of Shintoism and Zen Buddhism.

The other, is the Bokuso-Chi Clan, controlling greatly the cattle farms and silk trades, and supporting the last of remaining Churches in Japan, a influenced Christian group and ever-resistant in renouncing such.

Among these clans, they are built of vassals, and families, even work sites that support them. Any man can become greatly influential should they support the winner in this feud over the domain, should of course, either side rally enough support to dominate.

As, it's understood a greater force fights for all of Japan, a group unknown in name, but on it's war path toward Midori-no-umi Domain, no Portugese guns a man could buy can halt them amidst the disunity in civil war, Midori-no-umi must be ONE, to survive the oncoming assault.


So all must take up arms, pick a side, see the end of this war, and further, see the fate of our Domain among the rest of Japan.
Over the course of three days.

mr7ynIF.png

- Lords (0/2)
You represent a wealthier family with loyalty to one of the two clans based upon your family line, to boot, you have a small entourage of your own men of whom you may rally to your banner and the other clans, obviously smaller than the greats. You own a plot of land.​

- Foremen (0/2)
You own and operate a company based in whatever you may so choose, obviously with workers with some idea of loyalty though not devout, however, some rather faithful guards. You are to be vassalized by one of the clans, depending on your interests. You own a work site.
- Merchant (0/1)
A travelling merchant, you have a very small entourage, perhaps a worker or two, as well as perhaps two serving men acting as guards, you have the privilege of deciding your loyalties yourself. You can even be Portuguese man.

- Common Folk (Infinite)
Be you a worker, soldier, peasant, mercenary, or wanderer, each common man hath his purpose and must fall in among others to aid in the fate of the land, each man makes all the difference. With this role, perhaps you may have brother or sister, maybe your father is another man, or you have history with another man or even own a home, perhaps you're a famed ronin or drunk one, mayhaps a Biwa Master - we will attempt to create stories off your own, for a roleplay that is fluid and creates itself within the bonds made OOC to become IC, from Apps. Shoot for uniqueness.

It's certainly a unique concept, and I won't lie, the idea of feudal japan as an RP setting is very intriguing, wonder where we'd get the models though. I think this is the sorta thing those "Non-canon" events are made for, wholly unique concepts that can't really be done anywhere else.

i think ss has katana anyways, never seen a bow thing though
for spears, i think we can use m9k spear
 
None, really, none truly like this.

Look to Yojimbo/Sanjuro, Seven Samurai, and Hidden Fortress for some ideas though, I based alot of it off those two, especially Hidden Fortress
Saw Yojimbo tonight (not because this post just a funny coincidence). I was thinking about this post while I was watching it - had a few ideas of how it could translate to a short story. I'd be happy to pick this event up, though it's best to wait to see what some other SS staff have to say about it.

I wouldn't mind you 'picking it up' as long as I get to lead the project too, as it's a bit of a passion project for me too!!!
