THE SIX LEGENDS

 

Honda Tadakatsu

 

 

Takeshi Tadakatsu

 

Sonozaki Nou

 

 

Tsubaki Seichousaku

 

Legend 5 Legend 6

 

The six Legends are powerful individuals. (It is recommended that alliances take on legends.)
Legends automatically come with the Tactics stat, provided they have small armies if they so choose. Also, their Tactics stat will counter a Daimyo/Warlord's tactic stat, with the greater the stat, the more morale the Daimyo/Warlord loses.
Can make land neutral in combat by defeating a Daimyo or Warlord controlling said territory.
They can't, however, own their own land.
There must be four of them at a time in the universe.
They cannot engage in combat or wage war without provocation.
They may be recruited by Warlords and Daimyo but only for one battle and only if the respective Daimyo and or Warlord has a high Charisma and high stat in Tactics.
They also recieve a special stat to accomodate for their high amount of points (70) called Fighting Spirit. Which is a damage reduction across all boards.
Legends can be killed (but the effort to do so is tremendous) as such, they can be replaced depending on who delivered the final blow to the Legend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND STORY

 

 

 

The dawn of a new era, the Sengoku Warring States, a platform for every caliber of man, woman, and potential legend to take up their claim and sink foot into the soil from which many an honorable title has been placed. Before this period however conflict had not always become so abundant. Lands were slowly filled in by neighboring individuals, man could trust man, and petty crime had been a thing of occurrence but not dominion. Enter the legend of the Great Aether or Godai to the natives, a treasure said to have been left behind by a once great blacksmith who forged the tools to create the world; or at least it had been written as such. It was rumored to be the harnessed potential of all of the elements combined into one true form - neither sword nor spear, bow or gun, it was the eternal weapon and it had the answers to keep Japan coordinated and a super power for quite some time.

Yet rumors spread of the Godai being found and not only attainable but at the central point of the land. Conflict enriched the fields, friend turning against friend, family member against family member - Japan had seen no darker time than the ambitions released and set free to the absolute rancor it had become at this current state. Among the chaos rose one man who claimed to have the solution and begin issuing in what would be known as the Shogunate era. Where high law settled the conflict over the Godai and slowly but surely most if not all individuals were forbidden by law to search for it, let alone speak of it. In truth, the new Shogunate was feeble but their massive military size proved to leave others without room to dispute the acting foundation or declarations in practice.

It came to pass that liberation was in order, and warfare struck out over the lands - without fail did men and women proclaim their right to capture vacant provinces, amass armies, gain trust, and push flags of varying colors. While the clock winds down for a new ruler to Japan, so does the patience of the Shogunate’s current leader; as he feverishly searches for the Godai himself, to issue in a complete and ultimate reign over the people of Japan - for one intention or another.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHARACTER BASICS

 

 

 

This section contains the basic guidelines/requirments that are needed in a character's information.
If you do not have some of the required information a moderator will confront you and have it fixed immediately as to not have any problems while RPing in the room.
First rule is character's can be of any ehtnicity; they must have a story that explains why they are in feudal Japan.
Also, please list the languages that your character can speak. All characters must be Human.

DARKNESS
LIGHT
 
 
 
 
EARTH
ENERGY
ATMOSPHERE
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Every elemental group has it's weakness. (For example Energy is weak to Atmosphere. NO EXCEPTIONS.)
Light and Dark are uniquely weak to one another but are on neutral grounds between every other element.
(Only one element within the element group is allowed per individual. You can only choose one from the following.)

Darkness:
Curses or Pure Darkness.
Light: Holy or Pure Light.
Earth: Nature or Stone. (No Metals)
Energy: Fire or Lightning. (No Magnetism)(Fire can have Magma)
Atmosphere: Water or Air. (Water can have Ice)

Weakness Fact: (So don't argue.)
'Pure' Water is not an electrical conductor. It is the various impurities (minerals) in water that are conductive.

Each character has these stats along with a range from 1 to 10.
The tactics stats require your character to meet some requirments: Your intellegence must be 8 or more and 7 stats must be 4 out of 10 or below. Then you are open to possess the tactics stat. However Warlords get this stat either way without having to meet the requirments.

PROFESSIONS

 

 

 

35 Farmers / Peasants
40 Merchants / Tradesmen / Courtesan

60 Retainers / Elite Guard
65 Daimyo / Warlords (Clan Leaders/Affiliations)
xx Shogun (NPC Character)

 

 

 

The total sum of points from your character's stats determines your character's recommended status and profession.
Warlord characters need to be confirmed by a mod and are given a special stat: Tactics. These characters can have the most impact on the group RP, changing the overall outcome.
Anything over 60 is required to get an affiliation: Retainers / Elite Guard must serve under a Daimyo / Warlords or will be considered a defect and branded an outlaw.

 

 

 

 SKILLS
Elemental Mastery - (Only 10/10 stats exclusive.)
3 Basic Skills
1 Ultimate Skill

 

 

 

Each character get's three basic skill; each skill can be completely unique to the character. This is where you get the most free roam where it comes to the character.
However one rule is that it must make sense with the character's element and theme. Also be reasonable with creativity.

 

 

 

 TIPS
1) If you want to avoid fighting in terms of RP, then I sugest allying your character with the Shogun Faction. finding a strong faction tand stay in their lands. (Niigata is a good place to stay.)
2) Your character can die if they make stupid choices.
