The Sword-Saint period is over.

Now is time of prosperity under a separate yet equal Japan.

Splintered into three:
​

Toyotomi Clan,
Noble Followers of Nobunaga, splintered off in his death.
They hold a right to rule as per their clan named the heirs of Unification by Oda.
Their right to this claim was forgotten to time. They now rule the Southernmost Islands.

Tokugawa Clan,
The Armies of Nobunaga, deserting him in death.
They once claimed right to rule for their far superior effort and contributions in the war for unification.
Their efforts were long forgotten. They now rule the Northernmost Islands.
​

Tani Clan,
The enemies of Nobunaga, united Bokuso-Chi, Takaku-Tobu and Hoshi after the war.
They rule over the Middle Kingdom.
They have no right to an Imperial Throne, but their survival has earned them some legitimacy.

​

The Sword-Saint Period is known as the incessant civil warring following Nobunaga's death over claims to the Imperial Throne, Rights to Rule certain Land and Questions of Legitimacy over the fighting Lords. The Warring States period had ended and become almost a reflection of China's Three Kingdoms era, wherein the Three Clans, for a whole generation of sons, and fathers, fought.

An agreement was put to the table, struck, and agreed upon after give or take a hundred years of fighting, since then, kings rose to power, men to prominence, and died and saw their sons take their place, and their sons. The violence ended with the Agreement of Heian-kyō, wherein the superpowers met in the Emperor's throne room and established peace over the land and to strengthen such,
​

Rengoku. A castle-town in Tani Land, was separated from all the Clans and named a neutral settlement, wherein three families led by Kensei, Sword Saints, ruled as a leading council for the town, and Rengoku served to show what could be done in unification. Under three banners, or just one.

The town continues to stand, ten years later. Though, even larger than it was before.

It is now the Capital City of Japan.

Chapter I:


His blood is on my hands...


Chapter II: Anguish

They chased me out the town with blades drawn, arrows flew at me. The blood of my kindred still staining my clothing. A decision made in anger, fuelled by naivety. I could not return his life, nor undo what I did. I wished for things to go back to the way they were, yet it would not come true. I lived in anguish, spreading it to those around me. I followed a path north. My inner turmoil showed to those on I passed, lashing out at them in bouts of blind rage. I moved forward, past the unrecognizable bodies my path left behind me. For what purpose did I continue walking? I took another step, my eyes looked straight ahead. A group of Rōnin blocked the path ahead. I readied my weapon, as they did theirs.

“Another bandit? I see the blood on you. We will be swift in your judgement, demon.”

They charged towards me, their blades drawn. I swung my weapon in retaliation, forcing them to keep their distance. They circled around me, ready to pounce like a pack of wolves. From behind, the crunching of sticks alerted me. I swung my weapon with the power of a bull, they grunted in pain as they were knocked to the floor. His comrades joined the assault, swinging their blades towards me. Stabs and wounds and cuts littered my body, my armour damaged and in disrepair. Only a few remained standing, others having left. My blood slowly dripped onto the floor, yet my gazed remained solid. They were fearful of my might, their own bodies being battered and bruised, they abandoned their pursuit of justice, even if it was deserved, retreating from the field.



Chapter III: Reflection

Cowering behind a dead tree, blood slowly dripping out of my wounds. I gazed at the fire I had created, the embers crackling as it is slowly extinguished by the gentlest snowflakes. I looked at the blood on my hands, that of my own and those of strangers. The flame served as a reminder to my hatred. Ever since that day, I have been alone. My own thoughts being my only company. My once hand-crafted wood armour is now gone, torn and shredded by the recent battle. I was afraid of facing my brother once again. I felt vulnerable. I felt weak. I was afraid. If they attacked now, I had little hope of surviving. I tightened my grip on my Kanabō. Gazing into the soothing foggy night brought upon by the blistering cold winds, I saw a figure looming in the distance.

The fog cleared to make way for the figure, he stood upon a field of ice. Wearing a torn Yukata and boasting a sheathed katana upon his shoulder.

There he stood. Gazing down upon me. I clutched my trusted weapon. I knew he sought to fight me, his blade hoisted upon his shoulder. Upon seeing my actions, a small smile was shown on his face. Something about this man angered me. His confidence, blatant disrespect for my strength. I stood up, my wounds thoroughly bandaged and weapon in hand. He walked towards me, the snow parting way for each step he took, he didn’t even unsheathe his blade. I swung my weapon towards him, he deflected it with a simple tap, executed with perfect grace. I was pulled, and before I realised it, I saw the ground rapidly approaching. I fell to the floor, and as I slowly got up from the snow-covered ground and searched for him. He was elusive, and his presence angered me, I blindly swung my weapon into the fog. I heard a faint chuckle from all around me, as if the world itself was laughing at me.

I blindly shouted, echoing my voice into the ever-consuming fog surrounding me.

“What do you want!?”

There was no response, the only recipient of my voice being myself. I rapidly glanced around, searching for him, paranoid.

As the blizzard cleared, there was no sight of him. My own words lingered in my mind. What is it that I want?

A path revealed itself to me.

Though still troubled by my past. I am sure of this.

I will redeem myself.

"Monster! Beast! Mutant!"

My words spurred their conflict.
So my sons readied their weapons. Toshirō took the first strike.
My boy was slow.
The Beast knocked his weapon aside, overwhelming him with it's strength.
He fell to the ground, and Nenshō raised his Kanabō.
"Brother! Please!"​

It was not my son. Not even worthy of being a man. I screamed at it.
"YOU DEMON! BE GONE!"

A stain on the family's name, the beast walked away. I was not given a second look.

A foreigner far from home, Fernando has made it clear the island of Japan is his new home. Fluent in many languages, western and eastern, caused him to be used as a translator between clans and merchants. That was, until he began publicly worshipping and proselytizing his Lord, Jesus Christ. Now, for the past 10-15 years, he's been on the run from those attempting to persecute him, living out as a mostly peaceful bandit. Though that doesn't mean he's unable to defend himself, especially given the fact that he's not as zealous as those hunting him- often grouping with runaways and fellow bandits, showing them how to live by God. The need to worship only second to the need for survival.

TAKAMOTO OGURA

The Neutral Representative

Scarred by War

​

Years ago, the Ogura clan was one of many fighting in the Sword Saint period, but they were not strong enough to warrant much thought, yet their honor demanded they fight to the bitter end.

Years ago, a young man became known as the "Butcher Prince" for his brutality in attempting to preserve his house, eventually losing his forces, his house, and most of his family to war.

Years ago, a young man and his father escaped to Rengoku to carve a decent life out with their meager remaining funds, hoping beyond hope to just restore some semblance of their old life.

Years ago, a young man's father died and he took his position as head of the dying Ogura clan, soon after marrying and having a son.

Now, an aging man sits on the council of a growing city and tries to keep a balance that seems bound to fall apart at the seams.

Now, a veteran battles the shame of the actions he had taken in his youth, struggling with demons each day.

Now, an old man weeps as he is forced to bury his only son knowing those who took him will go without justice.

Now, a tired man sits and ponders his inaction, his desire to take action overwhelming, but his ability to do so incredibly lacking.​

On the day of his son's funeral, an old man swears to take action. He swears to spend the rest of his days bringing swift justice to those deserving and doing his utmost to preserve the peace.

At any cost, Peace and Justice must prevail

Yutaka Yubokumin was born in a large family of warriors, and when the time came he and his brothers brought up arms in allegiance to the Bokuso-Chi clan many years ago. However, as siege fell and blades clashed; Yutaka found most of his family dwindling to the hand of the enemy. Fearing the same fate as many of his kin did, he fled the region with what family members would come with him. His journey saw the confiding of Christianity, an unorthodox religion that dissuaded many people from Yutaka. However, he knew with God in his soul, he could take down any plight; and so he founded the Yubokumin family.

A thinly-strung group of petty bandits attempting to shake down small towns for racket money, one light breeze from collapsing in itself. While mainly made up of Yutaka's siblings and children, the necessity of forces has allowed the sparse inclusion of outer help from any desperate vagrants or hooligans wanting shelter from the world. While they often contradict the actual word of God, they believe the ends justify the means when dealing with sinners who detest the name of Christianity.​

Years ago, the Ogura clan was one of many fighting in the Sword Saint period, but they were not strong enough to warrant much thought, yet their honor demanded they fight to the bitter end.

Years ago, a young man became known as the "Butcher Prince" for his brutality in attempting to preserve his house, eventually losing his forces, his house, and most of his family to war.

Years ago, a young man and his father escaped to Rengoku to carve a decent life out with their meager remaining funds, hoping beyond hope to just restore some semblance of their old life.

Years ago, a young man's father died and he took his position as head of the dying Ogura clan, soon after marrying and having a son.

Now, an aging man sits on the council of a growing city and tries to keep a balance that seems bound to fall apart at the seams.

Now, a veteran battles the shame of the actions he had taken in his youth, struggling with demons each day.

Now, an old man weeps as he is forced to bury his only son knowing those who took him will go without justice.

Now, a tired man sits and ponders his inaction, his desire to take action overwhelming, but his ability to do so incredibly lacking.​

On the day of his son's funeral, an old man swears to take action. He swears to spend the rest of his days bringing swift justice to those deserving and doing his utmost to preserve the peace.

At any cost, Peace and Justice must prevail​
