<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her years, playing an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Her irises lost all pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good. She has a high nose bridge, courtesy of her northwestern provincial lineage. Her hair is well-groomed. In times of peace, she is sure to be seen trying to grow it back out.</div>

:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Physique & Markings''</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Has the physical makeup of someone who monitors her own diet quite closely. She has a few telltale scars on her back, but the long scar tissue spanning from her inner right thigh to the back of her knee is significant. </div>

:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Hygiene & Attire''</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:0px 10px; font-size:16px;color:#666666;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px silver;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Personality'''</div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her home. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Ladylike, as befits her social status. More feminine than most would expect.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity enables her to hold court; she has a way with effective rhetoric, for someone so stoic. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her years, playing an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Her irises lost all pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good. She has a high nose bridge, courtesy of her northwestern provincial lineage. Her hair is well-groomed. In times of peace, she is sure to be seen trying to grow it back out.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her home. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her years, playing an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her home. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity enables her to hold court; she has a way with effective rhetoric, for someone so stoic. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her years, playing an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her home. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity enables her to hold court; she has a way with effective rhetoric, for someone so stoic. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her years, playing an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players.

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country.

Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful: of the repatriation of refugees, of reconciling the land with its life, and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Her irises lost all pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good. She has a high nose bridge, courtesy of her northwestern provincial lineage. Her hair is well-groomed. In times of peace, she is sure to be seen trying to grow it back out.</div>

:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Physique & Markings''</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Has the physical makeup of someone who monitors her own diet quite closely. She has a few telltale scars on her back, but the long scar tissue spanning from her inner right thigh to the back of her knee is significant. </div>

:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Hygiene & Attire''</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:0px 10px; font-size:16px;color:#666666;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px silver;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Personality'''</div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Ladylike, as befits her social status. More feminine than most would expect.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;">
: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity enables her to hold court; she has a way with effective rhetoric, for someone so stoic. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>She knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and now plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful: of the repatriation of refugees, of reconciling the land with its life, and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Her irises lost all pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good. She has a high nose bridge, courtesy of her northwestern provincial lineage. Her hair is well-groomed. In times of peace, she is sure to be seen trying to grow it back out.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries long after. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>She knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and now plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful: of the repatriation of refugees, of reconciling the land with its life, and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity enables her to hold court; she has a way with effective rhetoric, for someone so stoic. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries long after. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>She knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her life, and now plays an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful: of the repatriation of refugees, of reconciling the land with its life, and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div>

Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity enables her to hold court; she has a way with effective rhetoric, for someone so stoic. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to achieve a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was an unidentified face who used her courtesy name as a smokescreen. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players.

Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was an unidentified face living under a borrowed name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was an unidentified face living under a borrowed name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma. She spares none who oppose the security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-

Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">In Doma's vassal state days, Shinonome was an unidentified face living under a borrowed name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma.

Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma.

Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a syndicate of Doman partisans comprising a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Her irises lost all pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good. She has a high nose bridge, courtesy of her northwestern provincial lineage. Her hair is well-groomed. In times of peace, she is sure to be seen trying to grow it back out.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Has the physical makeup of someone who monitors her own diet quite closely. She has a few telltale scars on her back, but the long scar tissue spanning from her inner right thigh to the back of her knee is significant. </div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma. She spares none who oppose the security of her country. Arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity and stately comportment enable her to hold court, be it to de-escalate a conflict or to rally her allies and subordinates. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Her irises lost all pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good. She has a high nose bridge, courtesy of her northwestern provincial lineage. Her hair is well-groomed. In times of peace, she is sure to be seen trying to grow it back out.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker who treats even those she holds in aversion with due honor. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she demonstrates a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma. She spares none to the detriment of external <i>or</i> internal enemies. Though arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;"><b>Character Lore Adherence</b></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker who treats even those she holds in aversion with due honor. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she demonstrates a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma. She spares none to the detriment of external <i>or</i> internal enemies. Though arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity and stately comportment enable her to hold court, be it to de-escalate a conflict or to rally her allies and subordinates. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive/defensive maneuver. The loud crack heard is the result of flames crackling with the force of the sword being swung.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she demonstrates a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma. She spares none to the detriment of external <i>or</i> internal enemies. Though arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a firebreak, interrupting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade and the magicked crystal in its hilt serve as an 'ember' for this highly offensive and defensive maneuver. The crack heard is actually the sound behind the force of the sword being swung, together with the lick of flames.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker who treats even those she holds in aversion with due honor. Though reasonable, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she demonstrates a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma. She spares none to the detriment of external <i>or</i> internal enemies. Though arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to king and country. Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''Presence:''' A social trait. Her integrity and stately comportment enable her to hold court, be it to de-escalate a conflict or to rally her allies and subordinates. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself.
: ● '''Execution:''' A skill in choreographing military strategy. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none.

: ● '''Mounted Combat:''' On the battlefield, Shinonome fights from atop a strong, armored horse with a fearsome temperament.
: ● '''True Aim:''' With a fine bow in hand, she's able to demonstrate it as an extension to her own limbs, chasing static or traveling targets down with her arrows.
: ● '''<i>Mukaibi:</i>''' The 'backburn' or 'backfire'. A potent, magicked cleave that combines heat magic and qi energy to create a 'firebreak', haulting oncoming assaults in their path. Her blade serves as a conductor. The crack of heard is actually the sound behind the force of the sword being swung together with the lick of flames.

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Loyal and undistracted, she demonstrates a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma. She spares none to the detriment of external <i>or</i> internal enemies. Though arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation.

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Her leadership methodology is distinct in the wide berth she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.)

To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement.

Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Though reasonable, she is someone who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she demonstrates a model one-tracked mind, pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma and sparing none to the detriment of external <i>or</i> internal enemies.

Her leadership methodology is distinct in the wide berth she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker who treats even those she holds in aversion with due honor. She bears a warmth in her that evens odds and keeps company entertained, but is also quite capable keeping her eyes on the prize. Loyal to nation and, above all, her heart, she demonstrates a one-tracked mind in pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma, sparing none to the detriment of either external <i>or</i> internal enemies. Though arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to kith, kin, and country. She will not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the wide berth she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">A martial peer to Shinonome, Hayato is a Lupin with disarming blue eyes and a stony disposition. Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">If not for his imposing height, this shinobi would at first glance be as nondescript as any of his shadow-bound peers. Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Like Shinonome, Seishuun is someone born into a clan of nobles who have devoted generations of service directly under the banner of Doma's ruling families. Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">The turbulent rivalry between Shinonome and Mikami no Tokiwa extends far beyond record, their clashes said to be disastrous on a scale beyond logical comprehension. Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:11px;">Nagano no Kaito is something of a sore point for the normally unperturbed general. More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Prior to her involvement with the Garlean-occupied state, Shinonome was an unindentified face serving as a mountain ranger. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a surviving military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known coward. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general, perpetually tormenting his adversaries long after his passing. She is the current head of the Household of Genbu, a corps of Doman partisans comprised of a handful of her master's surviving samurai and shinobi.<p>Once a young patriot serving the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland from the shadows, she now plays an active role in the capital's restoration, concentrating on the repatriation of refugees; orchestrating small-scale operations to neutralize threats to the peace; and availing the Kienkan of the Household's elder statesmen, who collectively act as an advisory body and freestanding tribunal to the King. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into a happy stupor during social functions.</P></div></div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Her irises lost all pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good.

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Clean; doesn't smell like anything asides from sweat. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Gaze closely and one will notice a long string of prayer beads fastened twice and woven into the knot of the sash around her lower waist.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Beneath the piercing eyes is a resourceful and adventurous decision-maker who treats even those she holds in aversion with due honor. She bears a warmth in her that evens odds and keeps company entertained, but is also quite capable keeping her eyes on the prize. Loyal to nation and, above all, her heart, she demonstrates a one-tracked mind in pushing her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda for the good of Doma, sparing none to the detriment of either external <i>or</i> internal enemies. Though arguably selfless, she values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div>

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">A cold but fair leader who is willing to sell her heart and soul to kith, kin, and country. She will not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the wide berth she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div>

: ● '''<i>Narukami:</i>''' The 'howling thunderbolt'. An emulation of the [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Requiescat Requiescat]. A potent, magicked cleave that inflicts paralyzation on those caught in its path by disrupting their body's natural flow of qi. Her blade serves as a conductor. The crack of 'thunder' heard is actually the sound behind the force of the sword being swung.

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly enough to change him. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and precise fangs. </div>

Behind the inscrutable <i>somen</i> is Raiden, Shinonome's sworn retainer who came under her employ well after the war. Hailing from the unassuming rice farming village of Namai, he is proof that blue blood holds little weight in the dual spheres of <i>wén</i> (the cultivation and literary) and <i>wǔ</i> (the martial.) Despite his talents, contention has sparked within the 'household' around the matter of his worthiness and background, much of which remains shrouded in obscurity. <p>He seems to owe his master a debt of a lifetime, yet the nature of this bond beggars a question: what kind of secret does she fiercely guard for his protection?</p></div>

Unlike Shinonome's family, composed mostly of courtiers, the Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, yet belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div>

Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the snake continue to quiver after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div>

More prominent than his apparent tendency to remain inert is his mischievous quality, through which he manages to get under Shinonome's skin despite all the man's questionably good intentions. Kaito's continued denials of her attempts to scout him into her Household has served only to prove her tremendous appetite for talent, if not futile. Equal parts inspired and spited by his resilience, Shinonome has over time learned to resort to roundabout means to try to get through to him, her set mind coming off as more than overbearing. Her attempts have been numerous and fruitless enough that they have over time petered out to become little more than a friendly jab shared between the two.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Though unconfirmed, Doma and the land of Yanxia is evidently a marriage of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and (where Nagxia is concerned) Vietnamese cultural elements. Koto's character was designed with <b>Chinese cultural elements</b> in mind, intended to be of an FF-equivalent of Uyghur-Chinese ethnicity. </div></div>
