Oda Nobunaga - The Dragon. Toyotomi Hideyoshi. - The Blood Piercer Tokugawa Leyasu - The Exception
The causes of the mass massacre happening in Japan. The Late Sengoku era is drowning in blood. Clans burn, alliances shatter overnight, and the battlefield is no longer ruled by steel alone.
Samurai and shinobi wield ancient techniques—manifestations of spirit, nature, and will, and most importantly what the person represents. The technique is implemented within your chosen blade; whether it's a spear, katana, or dagger. Every person born into one of the implemented clans get their own special technique. For example, The Nobunaga clan. The serpents. Anybody born into the clan gets a chance of multiple techniques surrounding the theme serpent, and how Oda got dragon, the strongest. When you awaken your technique, you get a special kimono representing it, and you get a weapon that suits well with your technique. Everybody is different.
As war spreads across the provinces, people speak of warriors whose Techniques can decide the fate of Japan itself. The Dragon, The Blood Piercer, and the Exception. The strongest techniques in Japan.
Commoners and such despised ronins and samurai, blaming them for the chaos.
Your story: Name: Aoi Kagenobu , Female(蒼影信)
Born in a village erased from the maps, you learned early that mercy dies first in war. When your home was slaughtered during a clan purge, your dormant technique awakened in the chaos when your dying mother gave you her cherry blossom pendant.
You now walks the lands as a blade without a sheath—neither samurai nor shinobi, but something in between. You fight not for banners or glory, but for purpose and answers.
The pendant you wear is a preserved cherry blossom sealed in spirit resin, given to you by his mother with her final breath. It is not merely a charm, but a vessel—binding his Technique to memory and loss. When activated, spectral cherry blossoms manifest around you, cutting through enemies with delayed, unavoidable slashes that bloom moments after impact.
You walk the path, wearing your black kimono. You have your blade, of course by your side and your black hair tied back into a loose ponytail.
