Reckless Banzai Screamer

Writ of Banishment - King Aleksandr By Order of Shugo Kato of Sakuragakure Year of the Saruban, 1222 10th of Snow's Maiden, Year 167, 2A Name: King Aleksandr Power Rank: A - He has big Alliance. Description: Never met him I think. Abilities: Uniting coalitions. Synopsis: Upon recent revelations regarding the associations and dealings between King Aleksandr and the Demon Lich Lord Gashadokuro, the village of Sakuragakure banishes King Aleksandr from the Land of Cherry Blossoms (all of the Oyashi claim) within Nor-Velyth. To arm such an enemy of not only us but many across the realm is a personal slight and it is the Oyashimans and citizens of the Ashen State that suffer first hand as a result of these nefarious dealings. You are unwelcomed here. While this ban does not extend upon the people he governs, any agents sent by him or his government will be turned back until an investigation by the Shugo's government or a reliable source is conducted and proves the aforementioned claims otherwise.

A military governor :doomers: beneath the Cherry Blossom petals and says to his samurai council, "Owari da, burn the rations the Haensers gave us. They might be contaminated." The Sakuragakure food storage was set a blaze then along with any semblance of friendship. 10 more years of famine...

A military governor of a village deep in the cuts of a great shadow war against the dark forces of Gashadokuro threw his bento box across his meeting room in rage for the automaton servant to clean up while the man yelled across his home. ”SHINJIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!”

OYASHI ONLY! Here is how to use the clock. Make a copy of the sheet so you can edit. Then, in the box underneath "Enter Birth Year here. . ." ENTER YOUR BIRTH YEAR! Right side is Eastern Gaijin time, called "First Age" or "Imperial". Left side is Western Gaijin time, called "Second Age" or "Janny Time". The middle time is Kamijikan, "Kami Time." It counts down by month, not year, to a VERY IMPORTANT date. Blessings upon your houses! -Uncle O” Local Saki-Gaki Legend Years ago during the founding of the Hidden Cherry Blossom Village, a flash of lightning struck the ground before the Kato Clan workshop. From it appeared a mysterious grandfather clock. Many of the citizens believed it to be another whacky invention of Shugo Uncle-O or his buddies at the forge. But Uncle-O was just as clueless as the citizens of Sakuragakure and spent years tinkering with and studying the mysterious grandfather clock that manifested into existence. Though one thing eluded the samurai of the village and the greatest of their tinkerers - what happens when the Kamijikan hits zero? The Kamijikan The Kamijikan (or Kami Time) refers to the clock that is counted down monthly (every OOC day) down to zero where it is said that a very important event will take place. It is unknown what is to occur but it has not stopped the villagers of Sakuragakure from taking wild guesses. For many of the Yosei (Oyashi elves), the Kamijikan is a doomsday countdown that will lead to the entire annihilation of the world. The Oni and human Oyashi however possess more optimistic theories where each respectively believes that an ancestral savior (The Onimaru from the Oni and Owinsama for humans respectively) will return to the world to defeat the tyrannical Shogun Yorinobu and make Oyashima a paradise. While highly anticipated, whatever awaits the world and the Oyashi is still a long while away. The Oyashiman Zodiac Every eight years (or 56 Kami Days) the cycle of the Oyashiman Zodiac resets with each year/seven months representing a spiritual animal and one of the four main corresponding elemental signs of fire, earth, air and water aligned with the year of an individual’s birth year said to represent some of the inner facets of one’s personality or inclinations. Kouryuu (High Dragon | Dragaar) = Intelligent, Prideful, Conniving, Long lived, Scholar Archetype, Fire Sign Kaerumon (Frogman | Wonk) = Lucky, Gluttonous, Silly, Family Oriented, Water Sign, Craftsman/Bard Archetype Nyazoku (Cat Man | Kharajyr) = Quick, Silver tongued, Greedy, Dexterous, Air Sign, Archer/Rogue/Diplomat archetype Saruban (Monkey Savage | Hou-Zi) = Strong, Stubborn, Slothful, Emotionally Stable, Monk-archetype Earth Sign Nezumin (Rat Man | Ratiki/Musin) = Untrustworthy, Envious, Clever, survivors, stealthy, thief/rogue archetype, Fire Sign Butajin (Boar Man | Bohra) = Trustworthy, arrogant, magically inclined, unlucky, curious, Wizard archetype, Water Sign Tanuki (Raccoon Dog) = Friendly, naïve, adventurous, flaky, scatterbrained, adventurer archetype, Air Sign Oni (Oyashiman Ork) = Wrothful, warrior archetype, large, boisterous, honorable, Earth sign

Travel Advisory - The Brightwald and The Cursed Forest In effect as of the Year of the Kouryuu, Year 166 SA (1225 Kamijikan) The Hidden Cherry Blossom Village has witnessed an alarming rate of hostilities within the Land of Cherry Blossoms and releases this travel advisory to all of those in the Greater Ashen State of Nor-Velyth and those abroad that may visit the realm. The Kurai Mori (The Dark Forests / The Brightwald) has seen an infestation of a goblin tribe referred to as the Gutterborn that has attacked citizens of the Ashen state traveling north to Urguan and beyond. We advise that all of those traveling in these forests stick to the roads, travel with companions, keep weapons on hand and keep a lantern on them. The goblins are known to use the darkness of the forests to their advantage and possibly tamed forest beasts. Sakuragakure has suffered an attack at the hands of the forces of the Demon-Lich Lord Gashadokuro leaving many wounded and the streets littered with carnage. We advise all of those traveling throughout the Norowareta Mori (The Cursed Forests) and the Sakura Mori (The Cherry Blossom Forests) to keep their weapons on hand (with a reminder that no one except a samurai, knight or Lord may bear a sword within the The Hidden Cherry Blossom Village) and to travel with companions. While attacks are infrequent, we still advise caution. All reports of violence should be sent to Shugo Kato Oijin of Sakuragakure, Honma Monjaro, Mayor of Sakuragakure or the nearest samurai should immediate aid be needed. Sakuragakure will now be in a state of martial law with all powers of the military junta increasing (this will not be extended beyond the Oyashiman claim and the Men of Hazum encampment). We now reserve the right to test all suspected evil doers and do badders by burning at the stake or swimming them by king’s stone block who exhibit the following (but not limited to) traits: Exhibit loyalties or sympathies to Gashadokuro/Shinji. Feed the Gutterborn Goblins. Exhibit/display negative kani (the vibes are off). Rotting. Disobeying the samurai. Carrying foreign poppy flowers. We implore citizens of the Ashen state to not be afraid of the evil doers or the do badders but to violently beat them without mercy and take their rare boomsteel weapons. The enemies of the state fear the samurai. There is great honor and glory to fight and die for one’s state. Glory to the Primarch!

A military governor shows the missive to the Primarch. "Primarch-sama. Peace in our time." @milksoda

Shugo Kato picks up the pieces of the old Lector, "Oooh, my poor friend, my brother." He frowned deeply beneath his mempo as he knelt before the mechanical man. "My favorite engineer apprentice, the world gets lonelier with each passing year." "Sayonara, chrome-choom!"

"Sorry I didn't leave you nothin' en de will tio - I did not expect ju to out live meh." Tonito smiles awkwardly in the Seven Skies, all these old mfs together at last.

Tonito rolls in his ash urn without the magic investigation being finished.

A military governor out to the west nods approvingly at the mention of reparations. ”Peace in the East, no more closed gates.”

"For the Ashen State..." Shugo Kato knelt upon seeing the honorable sacrifice of the Primarch and reaffirms his vows to protect her. "United we stand, divided we fall!" He prepares contingency plans to shoot the meteor out of the air.

An agent of Shugo Kato delivers the missive to him for the military governor's pursuit to find all missives about the Lectorate of Owyn, secretly waiting for the Church of Gaekrin to rise again. "Burn them all, the world will not besmirch the Tetsugawa war hero DHARASU with these war crimes."

Shugo Kato is happy that the words of the Yasu Tori rang true in the chests of the heartlanders and that peace was on the horizon. "Finally, no more closed gates. . ."

Shugo Kato, a student of Lady Eboshi's tenets, frowns about the segregation of lepers thinking Markus was better when he was a squire.

PEACE FOR AI-ZHO To the Li-Ren and Hou-Zi diasporas (╥_╥) The pursuit of an ethnic home for any people is no easy feat but it is a noteworthy one to preserve one’s integrity and prevent cultural death. Such has been my task when my brother, the former Shugo Ugokoyama Danzen, passed these responsibilities onto me with the loss of our home Tetsugawa. I grieved for our peoples’ shared loss to the Mori. I remembered the loss of our home in Yopinawa (Yong Ping). And I made a promise that such would not happen again without the giving of our lives and laying out a hundred bodies of the enemy for each one of us lost and at the very least we would be immortal in infamy. Ever since I have been blessed with the gathering of Oyashi and those Oyashi abroad that keep in good graces with us. Sakuragakure is comfort, it is home and it is a land I will gladly give my life for. But in the path to achieve Solace 安らぎ, there have been times we have drawn upon the dark kani of the eclipse and perpetuated the cycle of violence of our forefathers. My brother and I’s rage stewed for that Norlandic Bank which replaced our favorite Ramen shop, and towards those few we ignorantly proclaimed our Li-Ren hegemony. I could not bear the betrayal of Zhao Ting Fung, who had been my adoptive and second father, who fell to the honeyed words of Asioth and rejected his family. We now realize that no amount of suffering dealt onto a whole other group of people could alleviate the pain of our lost home. Reflecting on our past, and bearing in mind the feelings of deep remorse for the occupation of the Lu-Zhou peninsula, and all the violence levied upon the Li-ren and Hou-Zi diasporas, I earnestly pray that the dark kani manifested between our peoples will give way to kani most bright, and that we may find kinship someday both at home and across the world. We are in the realm of the Descendants, one that is mostly foreign to us and generally unwelcoming. There is no point in carrying on the animosity of our homelands when we ourselves owe no loyalties to the Shogunate we’ve abandoned and many of you are not devout to the Li Dynasty. I bow my head deeply for the loss of Ai-Zho life in its entirety and express my wishes to see the proliferation of all our peoples be they Oyashi, Li-ren, Hyeol-yeon or Hou-Zi. It is from the Hou-Zi whose institutions we have inherited and molded into our own and we Oyashi, Li-ren and Hyeol-yeon are each descendants of our progenitor Owinsama - our binding ancestor who would not wish to see us make violence and hate upon one another. Recently it has come to my attention that the wayfarer’s temple of Mul’Naar, which pays homage to Cathant culture and perhaps stood as long as our village, has come under threat from our cousin farfolk. I pondered to myself: why have we descendants of Owinsama fought amongst ourselves, when we are so few amidst the hakujin patriarchy? I realized my hypocrisy and could not justify my own actions done against my cousins in Ai-Zho, for I had wrongfully pledged to do what they had done to me. The Yasu-Tori writes: “Suffering is the root of Sin; it is preceded by vain desires and aversions. The Sinner languishes in an attempt to control what is beyond His power. The Sinner fights everything to maintain ego.” The Sinner has Anguish. I am unable to undo what has been done by both of our people, nor can I promise there will be brotherhood that awaits us in our lifetimes. However, I would like to make an earnest attempt at reconciliation in hopes of sealing this venue of hate once and for all. An extension of a Sakura branch, if you would. I thus proclaim the Shugo’s encompassing declaration of protection for all descendants of Ai-Zho be they Li-ren, Hyeol-yeon, Oyashi or Hou-zi - if they would welcome it. No matter where you are so long as you are of a virtuous spirit you may find a friend amidst us. Should you be in need, you may also find a home amidst the grand stretches of Sakura forests beyond Sakuragakure, Sakura no Kuni 桜の国 (The Land of Cherry Blossoms). Atop this, the ban on the Li-ren and Hou-zi shall be lifted from Sakuragakure and neither shall be met with unjustified violence. It is a new Kami’s Year - let us cease the cycle of violence. For those peoples mentioned in this proclamation who wish to meet with the Shugo for reparations, I am to be found in the village of Sakuragakure and promise, upon my honor, that the Samurai’s law shall protect you.

The Revocation of Clan Loa'chil's Banishment By Order of Shugo Kato of Sakuragakure Year of the Butajin, 1240 16th of the Grand Harvest, Year 164, 2A _______________________________________________ Let it be known throughout the Ashen State realm and to our allies that Clan Loa'chil will no longer be banned from Sakuragakure after the payment of 2,000 mon total to the clans Kato and Tatsu. With the reparations fulfilled for what was taken by Ser Spuds and his exile from the clan, we have found no need nor desire to uphold the ban upon the entirety of the clan and thank Naith Loa'chil for honoring the demands upon Loa'chil while holding no fault in what transpired and declare her a friend of our village once more. Clan Loa'chil will not be obligated to pay anymore to Sakuragakure and any negative actions done onto them on behalf of our village will be unjustified, unwelcomed and not rewarded by our government. This revocation will not extend to Ser Spuds however who will remain banished from our village and no friend of the Oyashimans. There will be no third time that we allow this rat into our homes.

Oijin malds and shouts from his workshop up to Ugokoyama Castle "Danzen! Stop griefing my leather trade! We'll be ruined!"

Outside of his Oyashi forge workshop in Sakuragakure, the military governor smoked on a cigarette as he read over the missive. Machine grease coated the missive's edges where he held it by and he smoked away on his break. "Time to earn your freedom and liberty, my friends." The Shugo lights a candle at the pagoda shrine that evening and prays for the Reinmarens - that one day he would see a Waldenia rise again.
