Introduction
For Centuries the Hamaguchi clan has served the Emperor’s family, even when the time of samurai and shogun had ended. The Hamaguchi clan never stopped being servants to the Emperor’s decedents. The Hamaguchi became assassins, killing all those who stood in the way of the one they served. That was until Ryuusei Nagai, a decedent of the Emperor, was placed in charge. He asked the Hamaguchi to help him gain wealth and power. At first the Hamaguchi were happy to do so, but when his request got more ridiculous The Hamaguchi quit, they broke their ties with the Emperor’s family and went rouge. Little did they know Ryuusei wasn’t one to take a loss lightly, he hired assassins to kill the Hamaguchi, they did leaving only two alive. Kizashi Hamaguchi, the eldest son of the clan leader and Takami Hamaguchi, the eldest daughter of the clan leader.
These two were brought in front of Ryuusei, they were forced to bow before the man who forced them to see their entire family killed. Ryuusei gave Kizashi a ultimatum, either go on a journey to find the Eternal Garden, a land of legend that was supposed to hold all the riches of the world and untold power, or watch Takami be executed. Kizashi reluctantly agreed to take this journey and Takami was held prisoner in Ryuusei’s mansion. Two months passed and Kizashi hadn’t returned. Takami knew she had to go look for him, she found a way to escape and after returning to her home for her things she set off on a journey to find the Eternal Garden and her brother. On her way she came across a Jester who was charged with entertaining a well known gangsters son. At that time she was being chased by Ryuusei’s assassins, the Jester helped her escaped and since then Her and the Jester have been traveling together.
Plot: I hope that little back story was interesting, now let me explain the plot. Our Samurai heroine and her Jester companion have arrived in Bay city, A large trade city, that is full of crime, gambling, businessmen. This city pretty much has it all, this city is very advanced steam powered airships fly over head, buildings so high that they reach the clouds themselves. I will go into a little bit more detail on Bay city.
Setting-Bay city, As I said before Bay city, is a trade city filled with crime, gambling, etc. Bay city is broken up into districts, district one is the port where the air ships and sea ships dock. This is also where a lot of criminals hang out, they have bases in the warehouses and they use the warehouses to house their illegal substances(banned alcohol, drugs, etc.) District one is located near the ocean District two is the business district, this is where all the skyscrapers are and also where a large portion of the stores are, this area is always well lit and full of people. District two is right in the middle of Bay city. District three is the most unique it is split into two portions, one side is for the police and they separate the civilians from the criminals, the police of Bay city don’t really do much except keep all the criminals out of District four. The other side of District three is near District one, and this is where all the criminals are, the criminals rule district three and so they keep the police out. District three makes a complete circle around District two District four is where all the families live, the live in peace in their homes and apartments. District four is right behind the policed side of District three.

Shingen’s head quirked off to one side when the newcomer thrashed her way through the crowd to stand in the middle of the open area that had formed between the two religious leaders. By her speech and mannerisms she was not a native to Bay City, and surprisingly enough for the abbot the thought crossed his mind that she might be from the homeland. Her accent, clothing, and physical appearance were obviously characterized in the same ways as many of the dislocated inhabitants of his neighborhood. Unfortunately his inquisitive mind would need to rest on that subject for the moment, and indeed there were much more pressing matters at hand to be dealt with before the night day was over.
He listened quietly while the Foreigner responded in kind to her protest and summoned several guards to escort her away, yet before Shingen himself replied to Siro’s inquiry he stepped towards the newcomer before she could be shown away from the group. After reaching within a five-foot distance he gave a deep bow to her, his head coming down perpendicular with his waist, and as he came up he walked within whispering distance of the younger woman. The words that he uttered were quiet enough for only her to hear, but still loud enough for easy comprehension, “Apologies miss, yet there are pressing matters to be handled. I do wish to have a word with you later though; you are from the homeland yes? If you would be so kind as to wait in the monastery it should not take much longer for this business to be handled, or if not please come back on the morrow when you have had some rest.”
Standing back up with a large smile spread across his friendly face Shingen then turned to the direction of the Foreigner. He came within several paces, close enough to speak yet far enough to denote a sense of security for the other man, and a busy hand came upwards to scratch his chin as the abbot pondered over the question posed previously. “Where could we go that is secluded you inquired? Well the monastery is quite empty, yet with concerns to our current situation that may not be the most desirable of locales.” Looking around at the buildings nearby gave Shingen several moments to think laboriously over a neutral location that would please the man. “Oh yes that seems like a wonderful place. Would you agree to that teahouse? There are private rooms in the back where we shan’t be disturbed, nor shall we disturb any others by requesting them to leave. Would you be so kind as to follow me?”
The youthful abbot then lead the way towards the teahouse in question, a modest establishment known for its exquisite tea that was considered the favorite amongst the citizens of Bay City. As they entered the few clientele that had stayed in the building grew very quiet upon seeing the two men wander towards a private room on the west-side of the business, and the owner rushed quickly to see to their needs. “Venerable Shingen it is such a pleasure to have your business. Will you gentlemen be wanting for cha while you are here?” Despite his calm voice several beads of sweat that had formed on the man’s brow cued Shingen into the anxiety he suffered from seeing the Foreigner, and wanting to ease the man’s fears he clasped his right hand around the proprietor’s shoulder. “Oh yes, please, and thank you Mr. Takamitsu. I do find your cha most enjoyable. I hope it is not too much of a bother if we were to sequester ourselves in one of these private rooms for a brief discussion?”
The smaller man repeatedly bowed his head while walking backwards towards the kitchen hurriedly, and all the while sputtering words like, “Yes sir,” and ,”Right away sir,” until he disappeared into the back. Shingen proceeded inside the door to the private room they were to use, seating himself on the square mat at one end of a short knee-high table where the tea and cups would be placed. “Well now that we are here. Please Master Arrakis. Explain to me why your followers are clustered around the monastery once again? I do hate having to ask people to repeat themselves when I have forgotten something, but it just seemed like such a good joke that I must hear it again. There was some concern that a member of the monastery had murdered one of your priests?” A hearty laughed erupted from his broad smile at the hypothetical question while both hands clasped his stomach in merriment. “Oh dear that is terribly humorous Master Arrakis, but please do not misunderstand the laughter. It is terribly saddening that one of your followers was murdered, and I am in no way am laughing at his misfortune, but the idea that one of the Reykyon monastics would commit such an atrocity is quintessentially insane. Do you not agree?”

Takami stood there, she listened to what the man had to say and when he told her it was not her business, Takami became angry. She balled her hand into a fist, but that was when the monk came up to her, she turned and looked at him when he asked her if she was from the homeland. She took a long look at him and she realized that his speech was very similar to her own. She smiled and nodded, to think she would find someone from Japan in Bay City. She then turned to the priest with all of his followers around him.
She picked up her sword and slung it over her shoulder and said “You sir are not a religious leader, I see through your act, you are nothing but a criminal. I see it in those cold eyes of yours, those are the eyes of a true villain.” She turned and looked at the monk and said “please be careful, this man doesn’t seem like the understanding type.” That was when one of the man’s guards placed his hand on her shoulder to try and escort her away. She turned around and twisted the man’s hand and said “don’t touch me.” She let him go and walked off toward the monastery, she planned to wait for the monk there.
She walked to the door of the monastery and sat down, she placed her sword in her lap and sat there to meditate. As she sat there she thought about the Jester, she wondered if he was ok. After a while Takami was dead to the world, she heard nothing but the sound of herself inhaling and exhaling. A calm swept over her, a light breeze blew causing her hair to become a mess, but its not like that mattered to her at this moment. She was calm, this method of meditation had been taught to her by her father and whenever she did it she thought about that night. A tear inched its way down her face, and then she smiled when she thought about Kizashi, he had always been there for her. They used to have so much fun as kids he was like her best friend. That was why she was here, she knew her brother had been in Bay city, this was the only place where information about the Eternal Garden could be found.
Suddenly a chill ran down her back, it was quick and almost unnoticeable but she knew she had felt it. It was like something bad had happened. She wanted to head back home, but she wanted to stay here and wait for the monk. Maybe he knew her brother and maybe he knew the person her brother got information about the Eternal garden from or maybe he was the one who knew. Monks seemed to always know information about long lost secrets. She then shook the thoughts away, this was her time to meditate. She had to be completely still and her mind had to be clear. After a while she went back to her completely still state, the only feeling within her was that of her breathing.

Re: [OOC] The Samurai
it is, but I got caught up in a lot of school work. then human revolution, then school work
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
Is this rp dead? My character is stuck and cant continue until someone notices that the rich man is wounded.... I just hope this rp isn't dead, it was really good
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
So comrade are you planning on posting soon? I believe several of us are waiting for your turn to commence.
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
I decided to move the story ahead. Pretty much what's happening is the All might Crime Lord/ Holy Man Siro Arrakis, AKA the Forgienger has decided to scapegoat one of his followers and plans to wipe out the last few other religons, gangs, and organizations that are standing against him. Everyone else is starting to congegrate there.
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
Just imagine if I had included what he did during the day... or mentionted the other characters that are roaming around....
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
I would post something, but there's very little I can react to right now in a worthwhile manner. It's also been three days since last post. Are we meaning to just let this die, guys?
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
I am sorry I have not been posting, Football is a little hard to get around, I will have a post up later today
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
Sorry it's taking me so long to get a post up. I wanted to post yesterday, but there was something weird going on with the site, for me at the least I'm not sure if anyone else was effected, but I will have my introductory post up sometime today!
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
I know it is a little selfish of me, but I have opening post anxiety whenever this kind of situation comes around. I don't mind posting at all and have no problems with it, yet I find it helpful to see everyone else's styles so I kind of have a groove to work into.
Re: [OOC] The Samurai
you guys can go ahead and post if you want, I have to think up a few things. also don't be afraid to be creative, make npcs and come up with things you want to see in this rp, but try and keep it with the genre. so don't say something like zombies start attacking people.
I want you all to have a lot of fun with this and i want you to know this is as much your rp as it is mine, but just don't warp the idea of what this rp is about.

Re: [OOC] The Samurai
I originally reserved a villain but I canceled when I saw the message saying that they die quickly.
