Introduction
This RP has been re-started and so this closed. If you would like to join this RP then go to this link: Feudal Moon: Eclipse
STORY:
This is a ninja RP if you haven't guessed by now. It will be about the ninja of one specific school, Shifting Shadow. The setting will be in 17th Century Feudal Japan, but most of the RP will take place in the areas I designate. There will be multiple stories, but one underlying one: the take over of Shifting Shadows.
We will do this in episodes, the first will be about downfall of a criminal empire known as The Kraken. I plan on it being at least three episodes, but who knows, things will change as we go along and as people give the input of their creative mind.
But one thing is for sure, this will be a action RP. There will of course be dialogue, but I wanted the greatest moments of the RP to be in it's fight scenes. Though this doesn't mean I want everything else to be half-assed, I'm just saying I want everyone capable of text fighting. I would like to keep things pretty realistic though, if you have heard of or played Jade Empire, then nothing out of their realm of fantasy.
THE KRAKEN:
Almost all of the Blackguard and their family, has been hunted down and killed. Those left alive, now are filled with rage and anger and seek revenge. They have turned against the empire and seek to overthrow it. They have setup HQ in Akusho Town and ave already assembled a small, but blood thirsty army whom have already claimed the surrounding area as their territory. In doing this, they now go by a new name: The Kraken; given to them because of the eight remaining members, who were also the leaders of the Blackguard.
ROLES:
These are not necessary for people to have, but if you do choose then please act it out well. These roles will help shape the story and events of the rp. When you choose one of these roles, put it in your character sheet and also PM any ideas you have about the role concerning the story. These roles also come with ranks, which are the minimum of years you have to attend the school or the maximum you can start off. They also give you effects concerning your skills; it possible to combine some of these, just ask.

NINJUTSU:
To help decipher everyone's skill, you will pick 6 of the skills listed below. If you can think of any others, then you can add them, but 6 is still the max and I will still have to accept it. By picking one of these you are automatically proficient in them, but you can choose 2 to master. There are classifications and a few other things that go along with the skills, so I will tell you what they mean below:
Offensive Skill- skills that will help you offensively.
Defensive Skill- skills that will help you in matters of defense. Though they can be considered secondary, these will always be there without the help of weapons or equipment.
Secondary Skill- skills that cannot strictly be considered offense or defense, but they can still kill or help defend you against enemies.
Support Skill- skills that require either mental or physical training.
Kill Strike- a move that kill those that are weak and without training or unaware with one swift movement.
Specialist- one that has trained in a specific field of an skill, until they have mastered that area. Becoming a specialist won't affect the 2 master skills.
Auto-Mastery- means that upon choosing this skill, you automatically become a master of it. This will not subtract from the 2 skills you can master.

GUIDELINES AND RULES:
1. This rp is about as Adult as it can get while staying within RPG rules, so just remember that.
2. Quality over quantity.
3. I want only serious, dedicated, experienced rpers only. I feel I have those skills, so it is only right I ask for the people of this rp to have the same.
4. Your char can and might die, so really keep that in mind when replying to post. Even mines can, though I don't want him to :'(
5. Be familiar with text fighting. It isn't necessary for you know how to text fight, but it will be appreciated in fight scenes.
6. Just because this is a fantasy rp, doesn't mean your char is a one man army. I will want one hell of a post if your char is pulling off stunts like that.
7. A tad bit of common sense is required here. Not to be a jerk, but I'm just saying...
8. Once your character has died, they are forever gone from the rp. Unless, they are brought back to life; which the method will have to be discussed first.
9. You can have more than one character, as long as you can proficiently rp them.
10. Also please DO NOT POST anywhere EXCEPT the OOC, until I say otherwise
11. READ EVERYTHING! Not just because I spent hours of my life writing it, but just because it explains a lot of the rp. And will save a lot of time.
12. Lastly, but DEFINITELY not LEAST. Please send me a PM with the title saying: I <3 Ninjas. Or something like that, you don't have to say anything in it though. I know this is childish and dumb, but there a lot of people who don't read anything and just post chars and there are a few rules that need to be followed. So if you could abide by this, I would appreciate it. ^^[/font][/justify]

Asuka walked through the suspicious streets of Akusho village with indifference. She had no pride or shame in her stride, nor was she looking to fulfill some sort of purpose. She had no business in those dangerous parts and was simply there looking for something to do. She had taken the guise of an elderly man so as not to catch any special attention. Even though her appearance had taken the opposite effect, she did not change and didn't seem to care either.
Asuka caught the eyes of every person on the street, not making any eye contact with anyone. She stared straight ahead and walked forward as if she was in a park, having a nice stroll. A skinny scruffy looking man approached her, knife in hand. "Hey old man. What are ya doing here?" he said, his words slurring together. Asuka could barely make out his words. She ignored him, still walking forward. "Oi, stop ya geezer!" Asuka kept walking until he stepped in front of her, waving his knife in her face.
Cackling, the man smiled smugly. "I oughta knife you fer that, but since yar an old fart, I'll let ya go. Give me yer money, old man," he said, stabbing the air in between them. Asuka stood silently before bringing out what appeared to be a wooden walking stick. "Move," she said once in the voice of an old man's. The man cackled again but his smile disappeared. "I'm gettin' impatient. I said, give me yer money." When she said nothing, the man attempted to stab her but was disarmed with a clang of metals as she sent the knife flying upward with her walking stick.
The man froze, dumbfounded for a moment before recovering when Asuka asked in the man's voice, "You have tested my patience. Now, you must answer this: Do you wish to live? ..Or die?" The man gave her an unbelieving look before swinging at her as she dodged. Asuka murmured, her voice and appearance slowly changing back to her original form, "Death? So be it." The walking stick's facade faded until it revealed to be a katana. The man's eyes widened as he witnessed this transformation, unaware that she had been disguised all this time.
It was Lily Asuka, a notorious member of The Kraken. This brought genuine fear deep in his heart. She swung down but the man dodged successfully. Shocked and relieved he had actually dodged, he dropped his guard which was a big mistake. "I did it .. i did it! I actually dodged!" He laughed in relief looking at everyone with pride. Asuka put the katana in the inside of her coat, the sword disappearing as it came in contact. She walked away from the scene, hearing the sound of the man falling to the ground as the sword she had sent flying into the sky earlier dropped down and pierced his heart.
"Kimuio-dono. What a pleasant surprise," said Asuka, bowing down in respect. "And if I may ask, what business might Akusho Village have with yourself? If you need any assistance, I am at your service."

Saito stopped and looked at the town that lay before him: Akusho Village.
"Ah...I'm finally back. It feels like ages since I last came here...and from what I heard, Daishisen is here as well. I'm curious to see what she has planned..." He gave a small smirk. Saito was waiting for the moment he could attack the Tokugawa, and out of respect for the Kraken Leader, he paitiently awaited her orders. If it were anyone else he would have probably already attacked the Empire City.
He made his way into the cavern that housed the city. In all reality, Saito hated this place almost as much as Empire City. Akusho Village was a place that lacked terms like "honor" and "strength" and replaced them with greed and weakness. However, this was where the Kraken resided, so he made a point to try and think of it as home. After walking a ways he came across an elderly man being harrassed by a thief. Saito could see through the guise though.
"Oh boy, this will be messy..." He said as he watched Lily dispatch the thief. "Ha...As lethal as ever..." He said to her as he walked past. He then saw Daishisen up ahead. "Hello there...so, have you any orders for me?"

"Good afternoon Lily-kohai, how are you?" She looked back at the grubby thief who'd been pierced and smiled a little devious grin, tightening her lips. "Well, at least you're keeping active." She laughed a little and continued beating the air about her face with the fan. Suddenly, she heard the footsteps of someone else. Preparing to step aside a little, she heard Saito comming.
"No," in response to his question. "I haven't anything yet, but fairly soon, I'm sure. There's something going on a little later, but we ought not to discuss it here. Just in case you know." She nodded solumnly to the two of them, knowing they understood. "Well, I thought I would simply look in and see what things were happening within the town. I see there is little to be concerned with and I shall return to the manor. Good day." She made a graceful bow and turned away from the three, passing gentley through, like the breeze, and returning home.

"Not at all," replied Asuka to Kimuio's remark, "It is the fools who wish for death. I only grant their wish." Asuka didn't turn her head when she heard footsteps walking towards them. She did side-glance at Saito briefly followed by a nod in acknowledgement. She listened when the Kraken leader spoke and said nothing which signaled her understanding.
"Very well. I must take my leave for now," Asuka turned and walked ahead one step. "Kimuio. Saito. Please do not hesitate to call me if my services are needed. Sayonara." The young woman acted and spoke formally, with a high regard for manners. If she had not been a cold-hearted killer, she could have easily been accepted into first class society.
Despite her gentle calmness and tranquility, once she is excited, there is no way to calm her down. The only thing that can stir her emotions like that is her passion for battle and thirst for blood. But don't get her wrong, not all fights do this to her. It is only fights where her opponent actually has a chance of surviving, a chance that Asuka may die.
But it has been ages since she had encountered a partner like that and because of that, life has lost its colour to her. She walked forward with a bored look about her, once again ignoring the many eyes of the public that was laid on her. She entered Kyoujin Tavern, thinking that maybe alcohol may soothe her boredom, even if it was just by a little bit.
"Mizuki-san, Ken-san. Kombanwa," she said, sitting down in their private room. They might as well have made it official; no-one would dare step a foot in this room, not if they wanted to be killed. Although a sign would only remind others of what they already knew. Asuka took a sip from her sake cup, sighing deeply. "I wonder when we might actually be doing something?"

On the second floor in kraken manor there is a small room. Inside this room is a large paper screen separating those entering the room and the one sitting in the back behind the screen. In front of this screen stand two women with silver small katanas, in white sheaves strapped across their back and kneeling just in front of the screen and facing the door. They are dressed in white kimono's and with white masks with the symbol of their names imprinted on them, Kaori and Kaoru. In front and in between them is a black cushion alike to the ones the guards are sitting on for visitors to the one who is sitting behind the screen.
Behind the screen there is a white lounge where lies lazily, Tsukiko Amaya. But to most that name is dead, unknown, forgotten and hidden away like a bad dream. She is known now only as White Lady and to some, the White Widow. The room is filled with white smoke, opium. It fills the air and makes everything hazy and slow.
Tsukiko dressed in a white kimono, lies slumped on the couch lazily fanning herself with a small white feathered fan. The air moving unnaturally around her so that the effects of opium would not make her as giddy and giggly as a little girl. Tsukiko was moving the air around her, she was controlling it, bending it to her will.
The paper screen door allowing entrance to the room was pulled open and a middle aged man, short, dirty and dressed in a farmer peasants attire wandered in to the room. He coughed from the smoke and sat down on the black cushion before him an pulled the door closed.
"Who's there?" said Tsukiko softly from behind the screen.
"Uh, Rorn Hakori my Lady" said the man slowly
"Ah!" said Tsukiko in exclamation. "My Trading friend, how goes the world of Trade"
" Ah, Yesh maam, all goes well!" Rorn was beginning to succumb to the Opium's drugging effects
Tsukiko chuckled " And i presume, that the shipment i asked for is downstairs?"
Rorn sat silently with his head bowed.
"Rorn?" asked Tsukiko softly who's voice had become suddenly quiet.
"I'm so sorry" he started muttering. "oh! , My Lady!" he added quickly "It was taken from us, ambushed by thieves, they are growing more common these days!" he said groveling
"Oh" Tsukiko said sadly. "This makes me very sad Rorn".
"I'm sorry my lady!" he said loudly Throwing himself in a low bow of praise whilst kneeling on the black cushion.
"And you know what happens when we make mistakes, don't we Rorn" Tsukiko said softly and silkily tormenting the weeping man before her.
"Please My Lady!" said Rorn Hysterically. "Forgive me Please!" The drug was now in full swing he was hallucinating, white foam bubbling at his mouth, he was in a state of paranoi.
"Go-" "Od-" "Bye-" said Tsukiko slowly and cruelly
Rorn wailed loudly and a long metal pin with a small white string on the end, shot out of the paper canvas and made a little hole in it as it flew towards the screaming figure of Rorn. Rorn opened his eyes and turned around. Stuck in the door behind him was the pin. 'Had she missed?' he thought excitedly. 'The lady never misses!' he informed himself and gulped loudly. He then felt it, a sting in his shoulder he looked at it then wished he hadn't. The shock had succumbed the pain momentarily but now he saw and started to feel the wound he screamed. The pin had gone through his shoulder completely. He slumped to the floor screaming and kicking wildly in pain and clutching his bleeding arm.
"What a pity, the floor will stain" said Tsukiko cruelly and walked out from behind the screen that split the room in two and walked past the man slumped on the floor and opened the screen door. "You have three days to replace the shipment, or i will fill your body with holes like that one" and she left the room, her two kunoichi guards following her.
Behind the screen there is a white lounge where lies lazily, Tsukiko Amaya. But to most that name is dead, unknown, forgotten and hidden away like a bad dream. She is known now only as White Lady and to some, the White Widow. The room is filled with white smoke, opium. It fills the air and makes everything hazy and slow.
Tsukiko dressed in a white kimono, lies slumped on the couch lazily fanning herself with a small white feathered fan. The air moving unnaturally around her so that the effects of opium would not make her as giddy and giggly as a little girl. Tsukiko was moving the air around her, she was controlling it, bending it to her will.
The paper screen door allowing entrance to the room was pulled open and a middle aged man, short, dirty and dressed in a farmer peasants attire wandered in to the room. He coughed from the smoke and sat down on the black cushion before him an pulled the door closed.
"Who's there?" said Tsukiko softly from behind the screen.
"Uh, Rorn Hakori my Lady" said the man slowly
"Ah!" said Tsukiko in exclamation. "My Trading friend, how goes the world of Trade"
" Ah, Yesh maam, all goes well!" Rorn was beginning to succumb to the Opium's drugging effects
Tsukiko chuckled " And i presume, that the shipment i asked for is downstairs?"

Oda sighed as he finally reached the top of the Tree , looking around at the wide open platform where only a few stray birds sang. It appeared that Oda had the entire platform to himself, which was a most convenient arrangement. The old man walked to the middle of the platform and inhaled deeply, his thin chest puffed out under his white robe. He pressed his hands together and exhaled, as he exhaled, his legs slid apart wider and wider until he had accomplished a perfect split, which..at seventy something..was pretty impressive, if he said so himself.
Oda rolled backwards to his feet and spread his arms out as if he were about to dive off into a pool and then reached to touch his hands above his head, inhaling and exhaling slowly and deliberately. His arms returned to his side and balled into fist, his legs parted in a wide, strong stance. He threw a single punch forward with a sharp "Ha.". He went through each basic stance, one at a time, slowly and deliberately. There were no showy flips or rapid punches, but each movement was carefully calculated and precise. One day, the young ones may learn that speed of movement , while useful, was not as important as most might think. For every action, a appropriate reaction, for every attack, a defense, no attack was perfect, no defense absolute, speed and strength were the tools, but control paramount, with control and the proper tools, nothing would be beyond you. Paitence, diligence and serenity were more deadly then any blade.
Oda sat down with his legs crossed, exhaling one last time and closing his eyes. It was such a beautiful day, he would not mind sitting and just enjoying it for a few hours, unless something came up.

Simply summed up, Kenny and Alcohol are not the best of friends. Him holding his alcohol could be compared to that of a teen girl. But, it did have the power to loosen him up, making him more sociable than normal. Either way, he thought it best to take his drinks in small amounts for now.
By the time Mizuki had arrived, Ken had already poured himself a glass of wine. The drink in his hand hovered slightly, before he placed it to his lips and sipped until the contents of the glass was gone.
So much for taking it slow.
His hand collided with his face and covered his eyes, gently massaging them, as if he had been drinking all night. Its only been one glass Kenny, snap out of it. Unblocking his view, he finally took notice of Mizuki. Head tilted, he looked her up and down, examining her posture. He listened as she spoke to him, but all he could think was how amusing she looked. It wasn’t long before he was overwhelmed with laughter.
“Heh, sorry Mizuki-chan. It’s just- just you look so funny!”
Once more he howled with laughter as he attempted an apology. He looked away, slowly turning the loud laughter into soft chuckles. With a sigh he looked to his guest.
“My apologies, I don’t know what came over me… But, as for your questions, we are here in celebration of my latest triumph. While everyone was away or sleeping, I perfected yet another one of my techniques.”
Kenny was smug and proud as he spoke. There was an unofficial contest between all Kraken; it was mainly between those above you and below. It consisted of constantly reminding those below you, that you were better and reminding those above, that you will soon be better. But, there were no hard feelings; it’s just a little friendly unfriendly sportsmanship.
“But, correct me if I’m wrong- We can no longer call you Hime? What a pitty, I liked that name… So, what about Moon?”
Although it is kind of a good thing to be called the princess of the Kraken; at least he thought so... He didn’t really like the name, he just enjoyed teasing her. It was surprising that she hadn’t called him Kid, which was the equivalent to her being called Hime. Mizuki was the only one around his age and though he wasn’t one to talk much, he would rather talk to someone within a year or two of his own age; plus they shared sort some of the same hardships working in the Blackguard.

Raising one of her eyebrow which showed her degree of annoyance from the fact of being laughed at, despite him apologizing. It is clear that she did not like people making fun of her especially when it would be about her skills and position. Therefore, she was not the kind to easily forgive without having any sort of compensation in her part. So, she approached the Ken and took a cup of sake that she poured herself. After doing so, she stood before him and had a mischievous smile upon her lips. It only served to enhance her natural beauty however, she wanted to look a tad bit intimidating in a sense. In one swift movement, Ken was bathed in sake as MIzuki had showered her with the drink she has in hand.
"I did not know what came over me. We are even now and I do not like the name Hime! How many times do I have to tell you that! In addition, you are only using it to tease me."
With that being said, she sat beside him in an elegant manner that was common to her. It was something that she did not require a sense of consciousness since it was akin to the "Hime" of the Kraken. In truth, she does not like the taste of any alcoholic drink and her tolerance for such thing is sadly zero. At one point, she had been forced by the other members of their organization to drink one cup and she passed out within seconds. It was truly embarrassing and she had a terrible headache afterward. She would never understand when in celebrating some event. Sake must be there always. In any case, she would accompany him the very least.
"Moon is fine in a sense. You should not drink too much. Despite, you mastering a technique. You are already red, Kenny."
An unspoken competition was among their members and it was all but a friendly game. Personally, she thought of it as a drive or trigger to outdo each other in every possible way. Hearing that Ken had mastered a new skill, she cannot help but harness her abilities as well. She did have in mind to enhance her endurance since she is lacking on that department. Maybe, she could do something about that. Her thoughts were distracted when another person entered the room. Letting her azure eyes gaze at the newcomer who greeted her and Ken, it was none other than Lily Asuka. Another thing, she seemed to have already taken her seat and drank a cup. It is truly something that eluded her. Alcohol is truly bad for her and seeing someone younger than her drink. Mizuki truly wondered how the young were being raised nowadays.
"Good evening. Everything has its time, Asuka-san."

The effects of the sake were starting to take effect. Her face flushed red and her eyes took on a sleepy look. Her mouth spread into a goofy smile and she poured herself another cup. "Kanpai!" She swallowed the drink in one gulp and brought down the cup with a satisfied sigh. Because of her young age, it was pretty easy to get her drunk. Asuka knew this well and even though she seemed perfectly happy being cold and reserved, the truth was that she loved being in the company of others. She just doesn't have the courage to admit it.
Asuka wrapped her arms around the two and laughed. "We're all good buddies here, right?" She roared with laughter before suddenly quieting, whispering, "You know what, you two look a good couple. Congratulations! We're .. uhh, we're celebrating your marriage or something, right?" She chuckled and added when she saw their faces, "No, of- of course not. But Mizuki-chwan, you should be careful of Ken. He's probably plotting to kidnap you and then uhh, marry you! Yeah! But- but don't worry. I won't let himmmm!"
She laughed loudly, swaying as she gave Ken a few pats (or rather, hits) on the back. Asuka suddenly doubled over, her head in her hands. "Owwww! Migraine!" The effects of alcohol were short but immense on this young girl.

Saito smirked as he heard Daishisen's reply.
"Alright then, I see. Well if you do have something for me do to, make sure its at least entertaining. All these mediocre tasks a making my skills dull..." He gave a small laugh, then sighed. "I suppose I will go for some tea. Farewell..." Saito gave a small wave then turned and left. He found his way to Kyoujin Tavern, and made his way to the private room. He sighed as he saw a drunken Asuka and Ken.
"Really children...Too much alcohol can kill you you know?" He sat down and removed his helmet, letting his brown hair fall down. "Oh well I suppose its not my place to say, so I guess you two can drink yourselves under the table." Saito looked over at Mizuki and smiled. "Mizuki-san, it's been awhile. I'm sure you haven't let your skills rust, right?" He smiled and signalled the waitress over, who nervously approached. "Please bring me some green tea please." He calmly asked, and the waitress left to get his drink. "We will all need to be ready at a moment's notice, for who knows what the future brings." He said with a smirk.

In the hall, Daishisen could hear the wails of the tradesman. It was clear that they were emminating from the chamber of the White Widow. Tsukiko always did have a short temper. It was one of the things that made her so imposing as a Kraken. A tiny smile played on Daishisen's lips as the screen door came open. She figured she would see the poor tradesman fall from his feet like a stick, come loose from the mud. But, instead of a wounded man, there stood an elegant lady, clad in white;Tsukiko-dono.
Daishisen gluided up to meet her, and bowed low in salutation. "Good afternoon Shiro(white)-dono. You are looking as lovely as usual." Her tone was cool and even, respectful but not submissive. She knew Lady Tsukiko's power was great, but mostly elementally surprise-oriented.

Tsukiko turned as she heard footsteps heading towards her. The one approaching Daishisen Kimuio the kraken leader, bowed to her. Tsukiko chuckled and returned the gesture in a way of respect. "Good afternoon Shiro(white)-dono. You are looking as lovely as usual."
"Thank you Daishisen-sama your looking well yourself, sorry about the noise but-" she paused as she watched two servants dressed in brown kimono's carried the wounded tradesman out of the room. Her face filled with amusement, and her cheeks became red from embarrassment. "Ah-"
She paused again as the man let out a wail , echoing through the halls. "The shipment of Explosives we ordered you see, did not arrive as i thought it would"
She frowned "In fact it was taken from us, by bandits, so in my temper, i kind of pierced his shoulder with a needle, Accidently of course" she smiled.
And walked over to the small veranda opposite her room and lent on it. "I grow weary Leader - sama" she said lazily. "We have almost what we require, and yet, we sit and do nothing!"
"When will we finally make our move?"

"Quite soon Tsukiko-san. In fact, I have been considering just that as I walked back from the springs this morning. It seems the training of the Shifting Shadows is very lax these days, and the master does not seem to take much notice of us." She folded her arms behind her back and stepped onto the veranda at Tsukiko's side. Her eyes looked off inot the distance, into a collection of trees, and her lips formed a calculative smile. "This, shall be their tragic flaw..." She thought a moment, allowing her fan up again, nad beating the breeze into her face like a butterfly's wing. "I think tonight has the making of a massacre, and when the others return from whence they are, we will devise a strike upon them. As you can imagine, the school has been a safety net for those who sleep warmly at night. And, if it is eliminated..." She paused to allow her companion fill in the blank.

"Concentrate now Zuki" said the voice behind him. Kazuki was kneeling calmly, a wooden sword across his lap and his eyes closed. The Speaker walked around him in a circle.
"I am going to strike at you again Zuki" he said in a calm tone that unnerved Kazuki. "Try to deflect it this time" he said sighing. "Concentrate"
Kazuki tried to pin point the position of the Speaker as he walked around him. He tried blocking everything out, the birds, outside the room, the wind moving through the great tree that was the shifting shadows, and his own heartbeat.
He turned and raised his weapon behind him, colliding with the attackers. "Good, again" said the speaker who slashed at Kazuki again, faster and stronger. The sword was knocked out of Kazuki's hand as he tried to deflect his attack and Kazuki cursed and held his bruised hand. The speaker sighed as Kazuki stood and rushed at him. He threw a punch at the speaker only to be hardly prodded on his forehead stopping his movement completely.
Kazuki scowled and rubbed his forehead. "Its not fair" he whined, "Your bigger than me". The speaker laughed "Well Zuki, your height is only an obstacle in your mind"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kazuki asked angrily as he picked up the forgotten wooden sword
"It will be clear in due time" The speaker said "Now put the wooden katana away and go eat, we are finished for today".
Kazuki bowed "Yes Sensei" he said and left the room.
"Itadakimasu!" Kazuki said cheerfully as he ate his dinner alone. Something was different about the evening tonight, and Kazuki new it.

She played with her fan while she talked moving the white feathers here and there. "And i intend, to... Send the Master Sky High, and fill him so full of pins that i could sell him as a pin cushion."

She played with her fan while she talked moving the white feathers here and there. "And i intend, to... Send the Master Sky High, and fill him so full of pins that i could sell him as a pin cushion."

"I thought you would say something to that effect, which is why I have no real doubt in your success." Her lips formed a fond smile, but she did not turn to see her. "Of course, you will not be completely alone. Those who will accompany you will most likely be merely back-up in case things don't go as well as I had hoped."
There was a distinct possibility of that happening, especially since it's taken them this long to get back here, and none seemed to be showing up anytime soon. She sighed, perhaps it would just be the two of them. In which case, it would be more of a stealth/assasination job. One way or the other, the Shifting Shadows would topple.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
I don't really know how to submit a pre-concieved character to an rp. Does anyone know how to do that?
Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
Hey fly,
Since I'm already in the new feudal moon, is it okay if I drop from this one? I just wanted to check with you before I hit the 'Abandon this character into the unknown' button. Thanks!

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
I just re-posted the RP.
So carry all OOC chat from this thread to this one.
And here is the link to the new RP: Feudal Moon: Eclipse
So if you are still in this RP, please re-submit your character and they will be accepted without question. And if you would like to obtain a new role, submit that new character. Or if you think your charter can have two roles, then PM me or say so within the new OOC.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
Ok thanks Soni, but I wouldn't want you to RP so many characters. It makes a person very tired as and it will make your posts suffer.
So I will re-post this RP.
That way it will attract some new roleplayers, as well show who all will be staying in the RP. Since you all will have to resubmit your characters.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
Well well, you go Sonora.
I'm sure you will be a vital asset to the team of roleplayers that have assembled here to put this thing back in motion.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
Hello All,
This is a post to officially offer to assume whatever roles need to get filled to start this rp. Im working on a profile for the master of the school now, and if you need a rival I can do that and maybe double as the evil one??? Just let me know what you wan't me to do, I'm willing to rp up to 5 characters, but I already have two.
Discuss.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
It shouldn't be that hard to get you a rival.
And glad to hear that Soni.
You, know...
If y'all wanted I could Re-Post this RP. So that way you all would have a fresh start, with the chance of new people joining. It wouldn't take that long, all it is is a lot of copying and pasting, then y'all could just pick up after the time-jump.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
I'm here!! oh, and if writers block is an issue for people, I can post the introduction to both the Kraken meeting and the Shifting Shadow's, as I have two characters. But only if I'm needed to, i'm not trying to take over or anything.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
I havne't yet, I was waiting to see how many people were interested. I don't exactly know how to do that without people comming in or at least posting entrances.
Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
Ok so that's two people and I think Kira is in too, so really that's 3.
I think 5 will be a nice number, along with people taking on multiple roles.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
I will help in some way shape or form, Apple have you posted the introduction to the Kraken meeting?
Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
Uh... me I guess. Although I'm not entirely sure how I became Kraken leader. Then again, I'm not complaining considering it's like, the first position of power I've ever held in an rp. :D
Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
IDK how I missed Neon's post...
But how many people are still willing to keep this RP alive?
Because I am willing to uphold my responsibility as GM, but only if people still mean to carry this RP out.

Re: [OOC] Feudal Moon
Well, to me the rp was dead and so I was going to declare it as so. But as long as people are posting and enjoying my rp, then it is alive. However I will be dropping out. It was my original intention not take place in this rp, but after I made such a amazing character, I just had to use him...
So just treat my characters as NPC's because I might decide to re-join later... Since they will be Important NPC's, you are still allowed to have interactions with them and god mod a little bit. I will still remain the active GM, so I will always be watching over the rp.
Even though I never made the initial post, I would like everyone to continue as if the time-jump has happened. So it is a month later. All the Krakens are supposed to be reporting back to the leader, you all posts should begin there. As for everyone else, y'all should start off in the school and preparing to go on a mission that you have heard rumors about. Whenever Neon returns I will help him develop the post to contain the necessary info about the mission.
