400 years ago, a secret clan of Samurai warriors were desperate for a way to cleanse Japan of the Demon Infestation. As if by some divine intervention, they happened upon the Destiny Star, a large magical rock that had fallen from the Heavens (In reality, it was a meteor and the powers it gave them were from a special kind of mutagenic radiation, not divine magic).
They melted down the Destiny Star and created the Seeds of Destiny, small orbs that each clan member could bond individually. The orbs would take the form of liquid-metallic tentacles and cover one's every oriface, then sink into the skin pores. Armed with the powers the Seeds gave them, the Akimachi Clan of Samurai were able to drive the demons from Japan. Then they set out to cleanse the world, though such a task could not be completed in their lifetimes. When they grew old, they unbonded their Seeds and passed them on to their children and grandchildren. That tradition still lives on today, 400 years later.
Demons still plague our world, but the descendants of the Akimachi Clan hold their heads high, weild their Katana, and continue the never-ending battle against evil.
So, I'm thinking our characters are the newest generation of Akimachi Samurai. They may have similar descendants, but we can say they are distantly enough related so it's not incest. From the original Akimachi Clan, we can say there are 13 different branch families or something, but they are all considered part of the clan.
Powers vary, depending on a person's spirit and nature. So, once you bond your Seed, just make up what powers you have, kind of like Marvel mutants. I will be playing three characters -- the Akimachi Daimyo, leader of the clan, a young rookie along with everyone else, and a demon lord. I will also be temporarily playing a Shogun who trains the rookies. The Daimyo has eight Shoguns and together they make up the High Council.
Anyone interested?
