Shikarui: Dawn The man known as Lord Saikun Kaisho paced in the great hall of Kuzegawa Castle in the Ji Province. Kuzegawa Castle was famous for it's vast number of windows, the main hall itself being little more than a framework of stone surrounded by glass so that during the day it was resplendently lit. Beams of sunlight constantly pour through the room and even at night the room shines brilliantly from candle and torchlight alone. He wore his full battle regalia, a set of ornate golden platemail with black feathers adorning the shoulder pauldrons making a pair of faux wings. The helmet was left off and his traditional weapon, the scythe, stood perfectly straight up near him. Such was it's craftsmanship, made by Lord Kaisho himself, that it could stand without wavering on it's bottom point, the blade glistening in the light as though the blade itself is defying gravity as it stood without being held. He turned, standing with his back to the hall at the head of it and looked up through a skylight that cast beams of sunlight into the great hall as he heard his subjects enter one by one. He remained with his back to the doors, facing his audience throne at the head of the hall without seating himself, a sign of trust and patience as he waited for all of his 'Family' to arrive. He went over the speech he'd prepared and mentally made ready to speak the draconic tongue so that all within earshot could understand. After a few more minutes as more people entered he turned and called out in draconic: "When everyone is present, I will explain why I have called you here. Any who do not show themselves, it is your duty to inform them of what transpires here within the great hall today." He smiled and remained standing as others seated themselves at his permission in various places throughout the hall while others preferred to stand. Lord Kaisho's oration would begin soon. > - > - >< - < - < You are free to post yourself either coming from your duties or not coming from your duties. This game is HIGHLY self-driven although you can always pursue goals of others. In short, how much freedom you have is (mostly) your choice. The main speech comes after you arrive or decide you aren't going to attend (or I grow impatient). If you have specific questions or people you would "normally associate with" IM or PM me and I will tell you who'd be in 'your crowd' based on what you tell me about your character and etc.

Moving casually through the castle, she calmly slithers along, snaking between servants, moving along people, and generally passing by most people. On occassion she gets stared at as she suddenly begins moving along the walls to bypass rather large groups of people. And, as always, when they stare at her she merely throws them a smile and wink and most of them turn away in embarrasment...either because of her beauty..or because they think a half snake-half woman is trying to seduce them. Either one, it works for Kasandra, and therefore she uses it to her advantage.
As she nears the great hall she slows down to a more normal pace, for the humans around her anyway, and slithers slowly, almost seductively to anyone that knows her, into the hall. With all the light shining in through the magnificent glass windows, her scales catch and reflect it, glinting magnificent shades of blue, drawing most everyones eyes to her. Smiling he usual seductive smile she gazes serenly around the room as she slithers slowly to her usual place, moving up to the table and curling her tail up into a coil around her spot 'sitting' on it so that her upper half is above the table as if she were seated in a chair. Nodding politely to Lord Kaisho, she calmly waits for the meeting to start.

Storming through the hallways (as is his wont), Hua Rong is generally given a wide berth. If for no other reason, most people try to stay away from the lengthy blades of the weapon strapped to his back. He walks boldly toward the meeting hall, ignoring passerby. When he arrives, he boldly enters the hall, glancing quickly about. Evidently seeing what, or in this case who, he was looking for, his attention is quickly directed to the side of the room. He makes a line to a man leaning against the wall, head down. "Ganju Kabos." Hua Rong nods just after saying the man's name, and stands near the man, facing their Lord, to pay attention to his words.

Calmly and quietly, Mai moves into the room and waits for the lord to speak. The young woman makes a subtle attempt to be apart from other people, but does not move away if others approach.
[OOC: It turns out I need to get going and I want to state my intent for this game. The name is still pending further thought and a precise description will follow]

Lord Kaisho turned and looked around at the gathered people nodding at those present. He cleared his throat and began to speak in draconic, the words taking on the unmistakable tones and inflections of the language. "Hear me my family, allies, friends, subjects, and vassals... a new day has come upon us. Soon we will become the champions of the Sun Empire. The leaders of Inochi Hikari, the Sun Emperor's, crusade against injustice and evil. We each have a role to fulfill, I recognize mine is that of a champion of good.
I have extended an invitation to the Sun Emperor to come to our fair city Kuzegawa, but this city is not fair. This city is not fit for our Emperor to come towards or to venture into. Crime plagues the streets since the ascension of the Kaisho Family, and things are not as they were a year ago. I tell you now that in founding this family I have abandoned the people. I am not proud of this, but it was necessary, for now we are strong enough to usher in an era of change. As my Emperor welcomes all, as do I, but although we welcome all, we are not obligated to keep them around! The criminals, the evil, the cruel, these elements will be removed from Kuzegawa, and from there, all of Shikarui.
By my will this city will be a shining beacon for the Emperor to look favorably upon and entrust us with his dreams for the future. The Kaisho Family and all who are a part of it will go down in history for ushering in a new golden age. I know there are those among us now that do not wish to be known for bringing peace and prosperity, there are those who wish to be known for destroying the Legion of Darkness and casting Onikage back into the depths of Hell. I know there are those among us who wish to rise to the positions of power and from there rule their own lands. I know there are those among us who wish for little more than a chance to perfect themselves.
I say to all of you, your time will and has come. Each of your talents will be put to use. All of your abilities required. Work together, work independantly, work as you please but work you shall for these dreams will not be realized easily. Whilst I remain here, bound to the role of Lord of Kuzegawa, you, my people, my friends, are free to wander the surface of Shikarui as you please. Yet I ask of you, bring this city to grandeur and with it you will find yourself similarly praised. History remembers those who worked to ensure it could even be written."He seems to pause for a moment as he beckons his aide, a man named Sakon Uzuki, to come forward. The man strides to before his lord, bowing before turning to face the people gathered. "My advisor, Sakon, has offered his services and knowledge of this world to any who would seek it from him. If ever you are unsure of how to proceed or even what you should do, he has graciously agreed to assist any and all who come to him with questions. With that said, I thank you for coming, may your efforts be prosperous and your lives filled with joy."After he finishes his speech, Lord Kaisho bows low to all in the room, and exits through a door near the rear of the hall, leaving many people abuzz with chatter and responses to the speech. > - > - >< - < - < A list of 'figures' in the Kaisho Family will be posted shortly under the campaign info so that you can be aware of who you may or may not speak to and the like. PMs and IMs regarding any questions the players have are welcome and will be answered as soon as I can. Other than that, you are free to either inquire with Sakon Uzuki as to what use you may be, or simply pursue your own agendas and plans. If you wish to wait until the Shikarui information post is updated, feel free to do so.

Shikarui is closed until the completion of Omega or Xorvintaal due to lack of player interest (Only two people fully completed characters and posted them).
