~/{*Era Katana*}~ (Forest RP)

[Kyumika]

Long ago, in a land of gods, animals and spirits, animals and humans lived in peace. Helping each other...protecting each other. But now...humans have betrayed the animals and are trying to take over the forest! The animals are trying to stay alive and are trying to keep the forest but are failing. Animals and some peaceful humans who wish to be friends with the animals are working together to try to defeat the humans to win their forests back and once again live in peace.

Here are some of the things you have to keep in mind:
-Different species of animals are tribes
-Battle, humans against all the other animals for the forest
-Some humans want to help the animals and keep the forest by joining a tribe
-Tribes fought seperately
-Tribes have some conflict but some tribes are now working together

After he turned ten, Naomi and the horse tribe had formed a strong relationship. The current leader of the tribe, however, was sick and dying. So Yuu agreed to be the next heir, since there was none.

Floraeda

Name:Akira Tora aka Kira
Tribe:Tiger
History: When she was a baby, Kira lived in a town near a rainforest. The rainforest was mainly inhabited by tigers. The people of her town were hunters and killed the tigers of the rainforest to trade their skin and fangs. The village was attacked many times by tigers. The tigers had gotten close enough to kill Kira most of the times the village was attacked. But her skin gave off the scent of tiger, so she was never harmed. One time a tiger came very close to killing her, but she asked it in tiger tounge not to kill her and it didn't. She was born with unique features and abilities that tigers have. She could speak in tiger tounge, see in the dark, and she smelled like a tiger. She literally started girgling in tiger tounge when she was born. When she was one, her father along with other hunters went to the rainforest to hunt for tigers. Kira hid in one of the sacks her father brought with him so she could see the tigers. The sun was starting to set and the dense canopy of the rainforest blocked out almost all light so the hunters could barely see.They were attacked by a small group of tigers and were all killed. Kira climbed out of the sack and crawled toward the tigers. She stopped crawling a few feet away from them and stared straight at them. Her eyes glowed brightly in the dark, making the tigers back away slightly. Then she started talking in tiger tounge, introducing herself and asking if she could go with them. The tigers were fascinated by her and decided to take her to the tiger god to see what to do with her. The tiger god was also fascinated by her abilities and took her in as her daughter. As she got older other tiger features grew into her, like keen hearing, a strong nose and muscles, and abnormal speed (not as much running, although she can run fast, but more fast reflexes).

They came before him and pleaded for her to save thier daughter, whatever the cost. The Fox God complied, using her power to save Kame by bestowing upon her the cunning, speed, and senses of the Fox Tribe. Her brown eyes turned to yellow in the process.

He agreed, making the baby a part of the fox tribe and sister to Yuhime. Seven years later her father died announcing her as Fox God.

Age:461
Description:
Do not underestimate her appearance. Her normal size is that of a dog, but she can change to the size of a full grown wolf. When she is small she is able to climb trees easily with great speed and balance. She is so light in her smaller stage that she can stand on a branch the size of a twig and it won't break. She can even walk on water. But in her larger stage she is much stronger, can jump greater distances, and is faster on the ground. She is also a great fighter in her larger stage. Her ears and nose are very strong. Her ears can pick up the quietest sound. Her ears and nose can hear and smell for a mile in radius around her. Once she smells something the scent sticks in her memory, so whenever she smells that scent she knows exactly what it is. Her red eyes can detect heat. She is very wise and intelligent, especially related to the forest. She is usually calm, but when she is in a fight or near humans she is ferocious. Her alience lies only with the forest, so she will do whatever it takes to defend it, even if it means siding with other tribes.
Position: God

MC Chiba

Name: Kenshin Kotetsusao
Tribe: Human.
History: Kenshin was born and raised in Kotetsu Village. He has hardly come into any contact (let alone been) in the outside world because of the overprotection of his parents when he was a small child. At first he didn't mind being trapped in the little village because there was much to do and enough people to talk to. Over the years he got to know each one of them by heart and became good friends with them. Eventually, his father, the Chief, put him in the small (and only) school in the village where he learned about the war, responsibility, laws, and even a couple of foreign languages that he used to communicate with traders and travelers, even though there were very few. Once he got old enough, his father hired a trainer, who taught him the secrets of their village's ability to wield a sword. He eventually mastered it and started training to use other weapons as well such as the bow and arrow. Since then, he has been helping the other men in the village go out and hunt for food and even defend the village from large animals or humans attempting to break through.

Finally she decided to carry her through the forest and try to find a village where they could live. But Kara got sick as well. The Bunny tribe found them and cured their sickness.

The Hisoka

Hisoka: A secret organization of native humans who found the secret to immortality and now seek the secret to obtaining the powers of the gods...

History: The Hisoka have been around for many years and once were great in numbers. However the Hisoka slowly started to die out and became very rare to come across. The Hisoka, knowing that they were going to become extinct soon, started to abduct the gods of the animal tribes and doing experiments on them to try and find the secret of immortality, killing many gods and goddesses, so that they would not die out. After many failed experiments, they finally became successful and soon the Hisokas became immortal and very powerful. However, the first ones to become immortal changed physically, a side effect, causing them to have better hearing, eyesight, and physically stronger. Their skin turned silver, their hair black, and grew pointy ears. The Hisoka children from then on, gained these same abilities from their parents who eventually died by being killed, though not easily. Everyone feared the Hisoka for a time but eventually the Hisoka died out more until there were so few that they weren't much of a problem anymore and were unheard of for many years. The Hisoka eventually became a secret organization made up of mostly men who carried out missions and have once again started to abduct gods/goddesses, only this time looking for the secret of gaining their powers and becoming gods themselves.

[Kyumika]

We will be restarting the role play from the following lines. Most of the characters are in the hidden village of Kotetsu to ask the chief of the village for his alliance to help fight in the war against the humans. Takemaru and Naomi just met after being apart for many years and just figured out that their daughter, Raina, is still alive and are about to start a fight in the village. So start from here:

Atke

"If you would do all that for me... then for the sake of the people that I have to protect..."

She squeezed his hands, her eyes wide and pleading.

"Would you... please... let me take this village? We have no where to go, I won't kill anyone, unless I'm forced to... simply... pure and simply... I need somewhere stable for Yuu... moving camp every week is unhealthy for his condition... Please... Takemaru... please don't stop me..."

darksithya

Takemaru nodded. "Take care of Raina." He returned the smile, and headed off to find the group once more, he would not warn them as he had promised, but he wouldnt stop Naomi ether...

Begin!
