Name: Heihachiro (Call him Hei, or Heihachi) Honda
Age: 24
Allegiance: Honda
Weapon: Nodachi (Long Katana) and often uses his sheath to smack opponents a bit.
Appearence: http://www.gamedepiction.com/media/sc2-mitsurugi.jpg
Short Bio: The Honda Armies pride and joy. He's an exeptionally skilled Samurai, and fights only for honor. And Women of course. He has a tendancy to get drunk and be a play boy, which his father hardly tolerates. Confident of his skills, he often goes against the impossible and comes out victorious, which has made him famous. Through this, several attempts at his life were taken, but thwarted by either his charm, or his blade.

 

[Otra]

Name: Sen Ryusaki
Age: 23
Allegiance: Hattori
Weapon: Two short swords that she uses in short range combat and an assortment of poisoned tipped knives whose deadly accuracy has made them more famous than their mistress. A flash of a red and black handle often spells trouble for the witness. If they were lucky enough to get a warning shot.
Appearance: Sen sports the lithe body of a warrior; her body firm and well formed, hiding a softness that is rarely revealed to anyone. Her breasts are full and round and her hips give a swing to her walk. Sen is graceful, beautiful, but deadly. She is a swift, silent warrior; her attacks are so precise and measured that there is hardly ever a time that her victim is allowed to gaze upon her lovely face before death. A pale, smooth complexion, piercing red-brown eyes, and long black hair further cement her entrancing look. (http://w1.nirai.ne.jp/tea/gallery/copywrite/taki01.jpg)
Short Bio: Her parents were killed when bandits raided her village. Only three years old, Sen witnessed the gruesome death of her parents. Taken in by her much older brother, he raised her but even under his care she was unable to strike the images from her mind. Her first kill was made when she was fourteen when she plunged a dagger into the juglar vein of a man who was trying to rape her. The act of defense helped to ease her nightmares and soon she began training as a ninja under Hattori. Although she feels she owes the man her life, that doesn't mean she doesn't harbor ill will against him. There are often times that Sen will tweak his orders to fit her and it is always allowed because of her skill.

may I join

Name: Bitosi Himora(Call him Himora)
Age 25
Allegiance: Honda
Weapons: two Reverse blade swords that can be flipped and is able to use only one or two

Appearence: Sorry I have no picture but I can tell you.
Has Brown hair down to his ears. Is 5 foot 11. Has medium shoulder length. Wears chainmail armor under his clothes (Red). He doesn't look like a swordsman because of his build but it is just to make him faster.

Short Bio: Grew up with his parents and had a happy childhood until 15 where a mugger tried to kill him. He managed to steal the man's sword and kill him, since then he's been training. At 18 when he was fighting bandits he killed a family. After the fight he gave up on the killing sword and started to use reverse blade swords (Can't kill people). His sword style is mixed of his own and his enemy's. After a while he can copy a sword style. You will rarely ever see Himora with his swords in regular position. He is now traveling with Hei because of his Dad to go with his son.
He also like to do the stuff Hei does.Drink, mess around and have fun.

If you need more just ask and I'm glad to be in this thread with you guys.

 

[Kensuke]

OOC: Thanks for joining. All we need is the other female Ninja, and we can begin.

 

[crynsanthum]

???

Was that another female Ninja, or Samurai that you needed? I can do either but the first post disagrees with the last.

 

[Kensuke]

OOC: I already have a female Ninja ready to join. But I could go for a Samurai.

 

[crynsanthum]

Tokiko Nekano

Name: Tokiko Nekano (Neka)
Age: 19
Allegiance: Honda
Weapons: Daikyu, Wakazashi, Tanto
Appearance: Long black hair that is hangs down below her shoulders. She is lithe, and her body is toned for strong graceful movement. She wears a long sleeved black and red embroidered kimono. Her eyes are a light brown, and she wears purple eyeshadow but no lip color. She is taller than average.
Bio: "Neka" has always tried very hard to never stray out of line, but has failed. She is far too spirited to humble herself appropriately. The embarassment to her family had her sent away to a zen monastary for education when she was young. She returned at 16 and then proceeded to win the archery tournament every year since. Despite the constant struggles of her Damyo Jinketsu Honda, she has not been sent out to battle. She's itching for the fight, but every says it is better for her to marry and defend the home.

 

[Kensuke]

First Battle

OOC: We can start.

IC:

I stood over a table, with a battle map under my eyes. Several men were around me. We were all in the Honda Encampment ready for another battle with the Hattoris. A man of good status, Yuuki, came up to me.
"M'lord, the Hattori Foot Soldiers...are weilding rifles!", he exclamed.

"Rifles? Damn.." I said, moving my arm to my right shoulder, feeling the scar that the last rifle I faced left in my body. "Guess I have to wear my armor this time." I turned to Yuuki. "Get a hundred men ready to charge the shooters." I said, grabbing a large chest plate, while two Samurai near me took other peices.

Soon, both sides faced on the field from a distance. It was dead silent. I was fully armored, besides my head, but my helm and face mask were held in my hands. "When you are ready, M'lord." Yuuki said. I nodded, and put on the helm, and the face mask symbolizing a horned Oni. I ran foreward, towards one of Hattori's many armies, followed by 100 men.

The bullets were launched. I put my head down so any bullets would only hit my helm and not my face. I drew my katana as I reached the army, and slashed wildly through their ranks. Hattori blood spilling onto our steel and the ground, we eventually won that battle.

 

[crynsanthum]

Neka

Neka could tell something was going on. The generals were gathered, and soon the commotion of a battle about to begin was all around. Samurai begin to mount their horses, with their ornately design armor. Soldiers lined up preparing for a long march ahead.
Neka watched as a wife rushed out to her husband who was leaving. "Don't go" she disgracfully pleaded to her husband. He just looked at her with shame and left.
Neka waited patiently till the army had left, and then found her horse and followed. She did this from time to time, but so far hadn't been discovered. She always came armed, but never entered the fray, a little timid about being discovered, but nonetheless eager to fight.
She watched the battle carefully, and analyzed the tactics that the two generals used, comparing them with her instruction in the art of war. She was itching to fight, but couldn't.
She left before the end of the battle, already knowing she would be seeing the Honda banner returning victorious. Upon arriving home she dismounted and went to meditate by firing her bow.

Himora

I was standing next to Hei studying the map for the next battle when I he heard some guy named Yuuki say the Hattori foot shoulders have rifles. Hei soon said get 100 men ready for battle. I was 1 of them and was soon ready to battle. Soon the dead silence of both armys facing each other became yells of battle. I was soon in battle with the Hattori riflemen. Bullets seemed to come from every direction, but lucky my chainmail just gave me bruises. Soon after the Honda was declaring victory over the Hattori foot riflemen. I knew that Hei would someway be celebrating over his victory, So I decided to tag along.

 

[Kensuke]

I walked back into town, tearing off my armor as I returned home. I took a moment to touch the many battle scars on my body. Two in particular...the gun shot on my right shoulder...and the sword scar on my chest. The latter was of my one defeat. I put on my yukuta, and walked into town. I entered a restaurant, and ordred Sake while flirting with the waitress.

 

[redmage]

I'm sorry but I'm going on a trip for a week and won't be able to post until then sorry. I am still in though ok and continure the story.

 

[Otra]

It had taken her a little longer than she would have liked to steal the uniform that the waitresses wore, but, she hadn't known where Honda was going to be. Though it had been obvious, from studying his behavior, that he would be celebrating after such a bloody battle. Adjusting the long apron in the front, she grabbed the bottle of sake ordered and quickly rushed to serve the General's pride.

"Oh, Honda-san, what a pleasure to meet such a brave warrior."

Stealth. Ninjas were prided for their stealth and surprise attacks. Her simpering and fluttered eyelashes were only tolerated for the simple fact that it would work. Men like Heihachiro Honda could never begin to imagine that a woman wouldn't fall faint at their feet. Pouring the warmed liquid with grace, Sen fought the urge to blow her bangs from her eyes and instead allowed her gaze to dart for a moment. If things were going as planned, her partner would be close.

 

[Amy (Roleplay)]

Name: Aku Shakatshu
Age: 22
Allegiance: Hattori
Weapon:
Double Bladed Short Spear
Bow and Arrow
Appearance:
She looks like that but has different weapons.

http://dynastywarriors.neoseeker.com/image.php?image=sun_shang_xiang.jpg​

Short Bio:
Both of Aku's parents were dead, Her father had been killed in a battle, her mother had been raped and killed, the worse thing about her mother dieing was that Aku had had to watch her own mother get raped and then killed whilst she hid in a cupboard like her mother had ordered her too, she had only been 9 years old.
She has not told anyone that she witnessed this and still holds a grudge against Honda, she hasn't even told her ninja associate Sen Ryusaki about it, she also stil has nightmares of that day.
She had been found and taken in by a Hattori Monk who taught her the ways of a ninja, by the time she was 17 she had killed 24 people and had captured 53.

IC:
Aku sneaked across the beams above Aya and looked won on the scene below, Aya was doing a fantastic job as usual, Honda-san looked completlly convinced.

Aku reached behind her and slid out a small knife from her back pocket and pulled a small vile of green liquid from her left one, she dipped the tip of knife in the green liquid and postioned the knife over Honda-San ready to let

"Get ready for this, you Honda bastard, just one drop of this in your blood and you'll be out cold in two seconds"

She moved the knife for accuracy and released...

 

[Kensuke]

With incredable senses, I drew my sword and blocked the incoming knife. I grabbed the waitress and held my katana to her neck. "This is not the first time an assasin came in the place of a flirt, dear waitress. Or should I say, Hattori Ninja!" I yelled. "And where is the second one? Come out! I do not wish for blood shed within my town!"

 

[Otra]

Sen screamed when Honda grabbed her, something completely out of her character. But, she wasn't supposed to be a Hattori ninja; she was a waitress. Going limp as a ragdoll, her half-lidded eyes searched out Aku. She let a relieved sigh intermingled with the sound of scared pants. Her partner had hopefully retreated out of sight and not just out of her line of sight.

"Honda-san...really...I don't...I don't understand."

Tears pricked at her eyes and her face was becoming blotchy, something that was hard to do when panic is contrived. There should have been more sake poured and much more drank before the attack went underway. They'd underestimated the warrior, thinking he'd be worn from such a battle. She wiggled, squirming like a woman afraid for her life, and twisted her neck as far away as she could from the blade. There was just enough poison in the ring she wore to disable the warrior who held her, but, Sen knew she had to make skin contact. If she wanted to keep her head, she'd have to wait for a better opportunity.

"Nanomi-san, Chiyuri-san, please tell Honda-san that I am not this Hattori ninja."

Again, the soft voice and the weak posture even as she was mentally listing off any known weakness Honda possessed. The waitress she'd decomissioned was chosen because they looked similar enough and, after a little work, they could almost pass as identical. For women that stuck their nose in their work and rarely spent much time with each other, Sen knew that they would most likely come to her defense. Sisterhood and fear.

"Surely, surely you cannot believe a woman as weak as I, a simple waitress, would be possible of something such as this?"

 

[Kensuke]

"Do not think this is the first time someone has attempted to take my life this way." I began slowly pulling her outside the restaurant.

"Stop hiding who you are." I whispered to the one I held so closely to my blade.

"Call out for the Ninja. Call out the one who threw that knife." I stated.

 

[crynsanthum]

Neka

'The bow is an extention of the path, the drawing back is the essence of life, the p...'
Neka's meditative draw on her bow was intirupted by a scream. "Now what?" Neka thought to herself running toward the restaraunt that it had come from. As she turned a corner, bow in hand, sweating from her practice, she saw Heihachiro holding a waitress.
Breathing heavily Neka shouted "Hei, what exactly do you think you are doing to this poor girl?"

 

[Otra]

"I am no one!"

Which was the truth on so many levels. Yes, she was Sen Ryusaki, Hattori ninja. But, she was also a simple peasant from a small village who, like so many others, had grown up witnessing death and destruction. That did not make her special, it made her a child of the times. And, indeed, the waitress was no one, just a woman who would live and die without making a mark on the world. And so, she struggled just a bit and added a whimper to be definitive.

"I do not know who is hidding in the shadows! I have no wish to be involved with ninja."

Her face wrenched up when she said this, the villagers were mostly loyal to Honda and rarely was anyone happy to be in the company of a ninja. A patch of bare skin flashed out of her corner of her eye and Sen's arms flailed up in a rather useless gesture. She felt the ring connect with flesh and prayed that Aku would stay out of sight for just a little bit longer. It couldn't have been much of a problem for her partner, after all, this mission was more valuable than their lives. If one fell so the other succeeded, so be it. But, Honda was fond of women, she wondered how long he could continue to threaten her. A seemingly defenseless woman.

 

[Kensuke]

"..." I continued to wait for the Ninja, but alas, there was nothing. I let go of the waitress. "I shall take your word for it. If you are indeed of the Honda, go get help." I said.

I ran back towards the restaurant to try and confront the Ninja myself. But I never reached the door. I stopped as if all my leg muscles froze. "Wha...'s...this..." I said. Even my speach began to suffer. I fell backwards, with my body completly stunned.

 

[Otra]

Sen collapsed to her knees as she was released, a feeling of triumph swelling in her chest. Even if the poison didn't take effect, which is should, Aku could still manage to cut the man down before he reached the door. If she was paying any attention, which she surely must be. Catching sight of the woman who had questioned Honda in regards to her manhandling, Sen took note to keep a close watch. The woman had a bow...she wasn't about to see how well she could use it.

"Oh...oh God, somebody help!"

Honda froze and she ran to him as the poison began to take its desired effect. Sen continued to cry for help, knowing that she would get to him before even the noted woman. She allowed him to fall backward and smirked inwardly as he crashed to the ground. Sinking down to his side, she used her shoulder as leverage to pull his arm around her and gave a wobbling start to stand. Even as a ninja he was too much dead weight, but, for play acting a waitress, it would be far too much.

"Don't worry, I'm sure someone will come out and help me. I know a healer not too far from here, don't worry Honda-san."

If there was ever a time for Aku to emerge, it would be now before anyone else got the idea to help. She wanted as few casualities as possible. Things were more clean that way.

 

[crynsanthum]

Neka

Neka watched te scene with some disbelief. She was stunned for just a moment and then reality caught up to her.

Tokiko Nekano knocked her daikyu as she started walking toward Hei and the waitress. "Hey, you get away from him you silly woman!" Neka yelled not really knowing what else to say. There was some temptation to just kill the waitress now while it would still be easy... however Neka had too much respect for life, she didn't want to kill this woman senselessly.

As Nekano approaced she scanned the scene, looking for figures on rooftops, behind bushed, or anyone else who would be responsible for this.

"Infact go run and get the herbalist!" Neka ordered the waitress as she neared Hei. This at least would get the threat, if there was one, away from her.

 

[Kensuke]

All I could hear were strange noises..
All I could see were blurs...
I felt myself being lifted. "What...goin..on..." I tried to say, but my speech continued to suffer. I couldn't even think. Soon, I gave in and passed out as I was lifted.

 

[Otra]

Sen froze for a moment, her body tense as the woman yelled at her. Her free hand itched to grab the single knife tucked underneath the uniform and throw it at the woman, but, she stopped herself. Aku would be making an appearance, had to make an appearance, because if she didn't things were about to become a lot more difficult.

"No, really, the healer is just behind that shop. I am in Honda-san's debt, he could have ended my life."

It was true, she owed him a debt. And as soon as Sen was out of the ridiculous uniform, she was going to pay him back in full. They weren't allowed to kill him, Hattori-san wanted that honor, but, a little tortue was allowed. The ninja didn't take lightly to the thought of her head rolling from her body.

"It would be easier to take him there and take less time."

 

[crynsanthum]

Neka

Neka was still unsure about this, but felt bad about not allowing her a chance to redeem herself with Hei. She now didn't trust this woman nor did she trust her surroundings very well, but didn't see much of an option, Hei clearly needed to get to the healer fast.
"Fine! Then I will help you." Neka went over and grabbed under one shoulder of Hei.
