Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay guys, this is your chance to actually make ARC story history! Everyone that's been keeping up should know precisely what I'm talking about, but let me refresh for those who don't.

In Aka Ryuu Chronicles, Martial Arts has been illegal for many, many years. At the end of the story, there is a vote given to the people to decide whether or not Martial Arts should be made legal again. I am giving you a chance to help me decide on this, with a thread here, on DeviantArt, LiveJournal, and probably in the Writer's Forum (if I get up the guts to post there).

Here are the important things to consider:
- Many of the lower class citizens of Hinomoto know someone who uses Martial Arts, and know they're not the criminals they're made out to be.
- However, some martial artists *are* criminals, and can reek terror on the populace.
- Many of the lower class citizens may not be willing to go vote, for one reason or another.
- Most of the Martial Artists cannot go vote.
- Upper and middle class citizens would most likely not know anyone who does Martial Arts, therefore they are more likely to believe the media tales of ochiudo (criminals) running rampant in the streets and killing people at random.
- After the results of this vote are announced, Shogun Kunota will also be announcing that he is starting an investigation into the corruption in the government- which is the catalyst for the Aka Ryuu to sweep in and clean house. So, even if the vote comes back no, there's still a chance that if the Aka Ryuu succeed, the law can be changed anyway in the investigation.

So please, cast your vote, oh citizens of Hinomoto! You can even decide based on pure dramatics! I don't mind. ^_^
