Qualities:

Breed King!: Puu is built for breeding, by choice or by force! Whenever she has sex, she has the ability to impregnate with 100% (Or be impregnated) chance of success with partners capable of producing offspring. She is determined to rebuild her tribe and receives +1 to Endurance and Athletics for every 3 wives she adds to her Harem.

On the other hand, Puu is required to relieve her lusts daily or she loses herself to them, and enters a state she calls "Rape Mode". In this mode she gains +3 to Athletics, Endurance and Will, but all of her other skills except for Fighting drop to 0 until she is fully satisfied sexually or Killed in Action.

Appearance:

Inventory: 100 mon, lvl 4 Iron Club, tiger skin loin cloth.

Backstory:
Puu is the last of a no-name tribe of Pink oni. When she was ten, her tribe was plagued by a strange illness that made them weak and feeble. A certain Unsavory leader from another tribe saw this as a perfect opportunity to wipe them all out and take their rather fertile land for himself. Puu was able to escape just barely with her life, event details withheld for now, and made her way into the nearby forests. There she lived alone in a hermit like state until she fully matured. After ten years in the wilderness, rarely coming across many sentient life forms, she decided she didn't want to be alone, and trying to join another oni tribe would only serve to reveal her existence to the Oni chief who destroyed her family. Thankfully the humans weren't completely opposed to her kind given their king is advised by an oni. Her attempt to nonchalantly waltz into the city like she was an important person only served to getting her strange looks from those around and was allowed to come and go as she pleased without much trouble. Though she did get looked at a lot with her chest always exposed like it was.

Backstory:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Chiyome was born into the rather well- know Tomoe family, distant cousins of the Izanagi royal family in the city of Otenjo. The bloodline that she was born into was known for cultivating great tacticians and warriors, which was something Chiyome always looked forward to. However, She was overshadowed by the family preferring to train her elder brother in the family ways and values, her combat education came to a solid stop before it even started. Ironically, her brother doted on his little sister, always taking the opportunity to train her in the ways of Blade, Bow and Book that he himself had just received, since he didn't seem to have any real interest in being the successor.

Chiyome's childhood was rough on her, physical training on top of demanding learning curves made her fall ill from overwork more than once, not that she let her parents know why she always seemed so tired at the time. Even then, somehow, she found ways to spend time with her brother during that time growing up. Growing up, she was hailed as the family's gentle princess. That, however, was at odds with what she was like when left to her own devices. She would sometimes pretend not to have an appetite, only to later sneak into the kitchens to gorge on sweets. Spreading rumors of other lords having illicit relations to the caretakers to spread around. Using her own personal handmaid to help her peep in on the men's bath. These were just a few of the many pranks she would commit before adulthood. After all, being cooped up in the family home, no matter how large, with only domestic skills training was somewhat maddening to her.

Finally, it came time for her brother to inherit the Succession of the family line. By then, Chiyome was 19 and still unwed, thanks to her rather mischievous history, but her parents still held onto some small hope. The evening of her brother's succession was the last time she ever saw her brother. The next day, the family estate was in an absolute uproar. Her brother had left, taking only a few personal effects and a weapon or two. He left behind a letter detailing the succession of Head of Household was now in Chiyome's hands. She was now head, and she would not let her family down.

Eventually, her parents accepted the fact that she was going to be the family head, but was now ultimately focusing on the fact that she was now 23, and still unwed, much to her annoyance. After four years of learning to manage the family's resources, as well as continuing her learning of the Blade and Bow, she had mellowed out a great deal from her mischievous childhood. Although, she did begin to take an interest in disguising herself as a common handmaid or a prostitute, which she kept from her parents, which horrified her handmaid. Eventually matters beyond the family began to leak in. She heard that the treaty and tournament was to be held in her home city. Perhaps, this was an opportunity do something fun...

[Albedo28]

There actually is a Buddhabot. He's the leader of the Kikai. What can I say, robot ninja option was too tempting to not reference overwatch.

I am so sad I cannot like this.

[Nicoffee]

Yeap, as Albedo explained, Kunio, the Kikai leader, is heavily inspired by Zenyatta. Pretty sure you'll now be hearing everything they say in those character's voices.

That being said, you and Meeps, approved. Welcome to the RP!

[FragranceofMtDew]

Awww, thanks Nes! Here's what I've got. Let me know if I need to change anything.

Qualities: Kikai

Appearance:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Inventory: Light armor, 500 Mon

Daito - Longsword - Quality 5

Damage: 10
Scaling: +3
Piercing: 0
Durability: 25

Backstory: Izumi was born the eldest daughter of the noble Kaitani family and afforded every privilege that came with that name. They were hardly the wealthiest or most respected family around, but Izumi could take pride in her name and never wanted for much of anything in her childhood. She took up many arts early on to see what she had an aptitude for, but nothing felt nearly so natural as the moment she first held a blade in her hand. From that moment onward, Izumi devoted as much of her free time as her family would allow to studying and practicing swordsmanship. Her efforts did not go unrewarded and even veteran warriors in her family's service praised her abilities.

During her 16th year, the king declared the Purge of the Kikai and Izumi rushed to join her liege on the battlefield despite her parent's objections. Fighting valiantly would bring great honor to her name and, more importantly, it would be her first real combat experience. Her skills and the fine steel that had been gifted to her brought many a Kikai to it's knees, until her third battle where a grave wound resulted in the loss of her right arm. Her enemy suffered far worse than she, but that wound meant the end of Izumi's participation in the Purge and also the end of her life as a warrior for quite some time.

The sword meant everything to Izumi and so her loss was more than she could accept. There were two options before her, learn to fight with only her left arm or replace her lost limb and become Kikai. At the time she honestly believed that she could fight just as well with one arm and opted to train in that method rather than accept the dishonor of becoming Kikai. This went on for quite some time, and her determination was rewarded with results once more but it never was enough. She could never make up for what was lost. Surely just the replacement of one limb would not stain her name too much? Desperation and perhaps just a bit of alcohol planted that idea in her head and caused her to seek out those who could perform the operation despite it's illegality.

Her arm was replaced and her life as a human came to an end that night. The next morning when she returned home, she was disowned on the spot and exiled. Frustrated as she was to be forced to give up her honor and family name, she eventually came to the conclusion that her life as a swordswoman was worth more. Still she bore no love for the Kikai and refused to turn on her former country in such a way. Instead she chose to wander, living from day to day by taking up work from whoever would hire her and living wherever any would provide shelter for a Kikai. She attempted to preserve her honor by only taking on jobs that she found tasteful, working as a bounty hunter or a bodyguard for nobles, but often times were hard and she was forced to take on more disdainful lines or work.

This went on for many years, Izumi's heart becoming a little harder with each day she lived in scorn and with each job that stained her honor until it could no longer be seen. When word of the peace treaty and tournament reached her, she felt hope for the first time in years. Perhaps if peace were made, her family would accept her again. And winning the tournament would certainly be a sign that her honor and valor remained intact, to herself as well as others. It was a long shot but she felt she had to try and set out for Otenjo.

[Nicoffee]

Looks good to me! I'll put you in the approved page. Once July 1st hits I'll post up the IC, but until then, if anyone has questions or inquiries, feel free to ask away.

[Meep Meepersons]

Let's Puu this! =D

[lilbooth]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Animal Handling - 5

Athletics - 4

Qualities: Hengekyokai (Agility, Fighting) 2 BP, Hunter 1 BP, Sensei (Fighting) 2 BP

Appearance:

Inventory: Kaiken Q1- 300 mon. Light Armor- patchwork boiled leather
Backstory: Seto was born a wild child, living among several other forest dwelling Hakken. Her parents were proud and stoic warriors. They lived as outcasts, bandits, and thieves, forsaking civilized life. And they were honored to welcome a new child into the world, what they thought to be their first born son. It took a dozen or so years for Seto’s parents and the other Hakken of the forest to find out that Seto was not exactly the son they were expecting. Both her mother and father expected her to start growing tall and strong, and though Seto put on some muscle, her figure was far from masculine. Her hips and rear filled out, and a small pair of breasts sprouted out on her chest. The other Hakken soon grew to dislike her, thinking that she had no place in the family structure, and therefore had no place in their clan. Her parents fought for her place in the clan but eventually succumbed to hateful practices of their fellow Hakken. Seto struggles under their discrimination for several years as the male members of clan made it their duty to prove she was not an alpha. Seto stayed within the forest for some time, fearful of the world she never knew. When the abuse became too great to ignore she fled her clan to search out a new life.
She took to hunting to sustain herself and occasionally sold furs to local tanners and merchants. She could never stay in one place for too long though. Other Hakken tribes could easily sniff her out and her unique scent made her prone to investigation. Before long she knew that she would never be able to live on her own. Both human civilization and her old family cast her out. Her tooth and claw style of combat could barely keep her safe, so one faithful day she sought out help. She hid herself in under a hood and a long fur skirt. She stumbled around the city Otenjo and eventually found herself at the entrance of an old dojo. Inside their stood a handful of students and an old wizened sensei. She waited outside until the students had emptied out the building and then carefully made her way into the building. The Sensei’s name was Tokuma, and after a few days of contemplation, he agreed to train Seto.
She spent the next few years of her life cooking, cleaning, and training in the dojo. She would hunt at dawn, prepare breakfast for herself and Tokuma, prepare the dojo, welcome the students, and then prepare lunch. She was allowed to train with the students after lunch and soon became rather proficient in martial arts and a variety of weapons. She awoke one day, took to the forest to hunt, and returned to make breakfast. She sat alone at the small table that her and Tokuma usually shared, but after minutes turned to hours, and Tokuma had not arrived to eat she began to worry. Seto found the body of the old man curled slightly on his bed mat, ice cold and stiff. She sobbed for hours when a familiar voice called out into the dojo. One of the many students had arrived to train. Seto panicked, she whipped her eyes, took a deep breath, and marched her way to the main section of the dojo. Through some miracle she managed to hold a somewhat normal lesson that day before she collapsed once again in tears. All the students began searching for their sensei and found him, like Seto had, cold and dead. They all abandoned the dojo with either anger or sadness in their faces.

[Nicoffee]

Looks good, lilbooth, I'll add you to the approved list right now.

[Nicoffee]

Yo. Figured I'd drop this here since we're closing in to the big day, also, sorry for double post.

Currently people in Ichigoichie will start split up as follows:

Ryuuji - Road to Otenjo - Southeast of Town - Accompanying Kunio along with two other Kikai

Kagomi, Nori and Seto - Otenjo Police Department - Long Building to the Northeast of Town, within city walls - A man was robbed and the only thing he saw of the robber to identify them was "A Hengeyokai with a tail and fluffy ears", as such, the local thief-takers gathered up a bunch of local Hengeyokai for interrogation, you three included.

Kentata, Kyoko and Izumi - Mifune (Three Ships) Eatery - Red Roof Building, South of Town, within city walls - Sushi and ramen restaurant, also general meeting place for people looking for mercenary work.

Yaena, Miho and Tomoe - Otenjo Castle Third Floor - Floor 3/5 - Samurai and Lord meeting going down. Ken Izanagi and a bunch of lords are present, as well as Yaena, who, alongside a few others, were invited as entertainers

Puu - Whorehouse - Extreme Northeast of Town, outside city walls, blue roof - Looking 4 waifus

Sivir - Gojou Katsunaga's Smithy - Northwest of Town, outside of the city walls - I'll be continuing right on from the point where your biography currently ended, let me know if you're going to add more into it. (She just forged her Kanabo as of the moment this post was made.)

This does not mean you HAVE to RP with the other people in the same area as you, all areas will have plenty of NPCs around, as well. I'm bundling people up mostly so I don't have to describe twelve different places. That being said, if you'd rather start off somewhere else, let me know ASAP.

[lilbooth]

Not trying to step on anybody's toes here, but after looking at the sheets for the two people I am with in the police station, VintageBass' Character (Nori Tachibana) has 4 status, which sort of conflicts with the 1 status that is locked by being a Hengeyokai. Not trying to shoot you down or anything VintageBass, but I thought it should be mentioned.

[Nicoffee]

Derp! Me and Vintage both missed it, apparently. His items are using the correct calculation for someone starting at that Status levels (200 for Tonfas + 100 free = 300 total) so that's why I didn't catch it. Thanks for pointing it out, lilbooth.

[exalted]

Quick question about the lore regarding the law.

How close is this going to be to historical feudal Japan in regards to Samurai and swords and such?

[Nicoffee]

I assume you're referring to the Haitōrei Edict, yes? The one where only daimyo, the military and law enforcement were allowed to carry swords in public?

There is no such law in place, at least not yet, especially since the country is just coming out of a civil war with the Kikai. Disarming the general populace isn't something that would get that much support, especially since at the moment everyone's under the threat of a group of people who can appear unarmed but then just pull a sword (Or worse) out of their wrist.

Currently, what is outlawed and enforced among the populace is:
- Fighting in the streets or in public locations, outside of tournaments.
- Hengeyokai Beast Form
- Kikai (An exception is being opened up at Otenjo for the moment, due to the treaty signing)

So basically, you're free to walk around with your weapons, no problem, as long as you don't pull it out or try to hit anyone with it, the police won't bother you. (Unless you're a Hengeyokai, of course, if you got a high-quality weapon on your person as one, they might think you stole it over assuming it is actually yours, prejudice and what not.)

[Albedo28]

Woo! Early posts are awesome.

[Nobudi]

Attempting to write Chiyome is hard for me because I've never tried to rp a character like this QQ

[Nicoffee]

How so? Anything I could help with?

[Nobudi]

How so? Anything I could help with?

No, it's just putting down the thought process of my character down into type. As well as what kind of character my character is in certain situations.
