When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?
06/01/2023 June is for Juggin
We made it y’all, another month of OTA, and fresh off the press we have another promotion ready. Leaving behind the opening bonus sadly, we welcome the jugggggg! June is for juggin AKA working hard, so we are making it a double rewards month for every mission completed! Yes we said it's double rewards, now you all can really get into the thick of those builds if you work hard enough. And who knows what you might uncover in the process. AND all jobs are free to enroll no quest EXCEPT ANBU(Black Ops) roles.
The "Eizō" are a group of samurai assigned to special assortments of missions that are top priority, even top secret. Very much similar to the shinobi's ANBU, these samurai hide behind a mask that usually looks like a sort of Oni (Jap. for "demon"). Coming in all different colors, shapes & sizes, it is generally up to the user what mask they wear, if any. However, there is a special addition made to every mask of each member of this organization.[break][break]
From the generic assassination attempts, to the always-thrilling hostage situations, there were many uses for the Eizō to be deployed with lethal anticipation. These samurai have honed in on their methods of fighting, and have now been granted a new plethora of responsibility, taking on assassinations routinely, and defending the village against any infiltrators. It is their task to keep select officials, such as the Shogun, alive and well during an invasion. Although, it is encouraged and acknowledged to save as many people of the village as you can by killing off all opposition during such an event. These are the most highly trained & ranked Samurai asides from the Shogun himself, most of which are Master Samurai, or extremely talented Adept Samurai.[break][break]

Apprentice Samurai[break][break]
Chakura no Kishu (Chakra Form Manipulation)[break] Rank: C[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: Mid to cast, Low to sustain[break]
The most innate and basic of all Samurai abilities, this technique acts as the base to all of the armored warriors chakra related abilities. Although samurai don't use handseals and jutsu, they nonetheless have learned to bypass seals as a medium for their chakra, using instead in its raw form and manipulating it to their bidding, usually in the form of an offensive weapon. As the Samurai grows more experienced with this technique, their creations become grander and grander.[break][break]
Note: This is the basis for all Naideshou Gonyuu techniques. The samurai must learn this in order to possess any of the other sub-techniques. The chakra used to coat their weapon via this knowledge can serve as a buffer between the sword and outside techniques which would require contact to activate (a samurai could slap a small fireball away without detonating it via their sword). this technique has cutting strength similar to level 3 strength[break][break]
Kyuushen (Weapon Sharpness)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: Low – 2x High[break]
A basic training technique that supplements all of the Samurai's chakra creations, this will determine the sharpness and strength behind their chakra manipulation. By coating their weaponry in chakra, the user can increase the sharpness of their blade indefinitely.[break][break]
Note: By offering a Low increment of chakra, this technique marginally increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through leather-based armor; by offering a Mid increment of chakra, this technique moderately increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing it to easily dig into steel-based armor; by offering a 2x Mid increment of chakra, this technique greatly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through steel armor and weaponry (up to six inches thick); by offering a High increment of chakra, this technique vastly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through large obstructions (such as trees, boulders, concrete, etc up to two feet thick); by offering a 2x High increment of chakra, this technique increases the blade’s cutting strength to peerless levels. At this rank, the sword can effortlessly pass through elementary chakra-infused barriers (equivalent to the blade’s length) and any other man-made materials. this technique has cutting strength max similar to level 5 strength[break][break]
Now that the samurai has gotten familiar with creating bladed chakra weaponry with and without the assistance of a base, they are able to propel their creations into a straight, linear form. Fast-moving and dangerous, the chakra cutters rely their size, shape, strength and power entirely on how well the Samurai has honed and trained their chakra manipulation skills. Only one projectile may be fired per swing. this technique has similar to level 5 speed.[break][break]
This variation to the Chakra Form Manipulation grants the samurai the ability of creating a chakra weapon out of thin air, whenever combat has rendered them without their normal armament. Taking the shape of weapon whatever the samurai desires, the user's pure chakra maintains the weapon as long as there is enough chakra to fuel it.[break]
Note: The maximum size of the weapon(s) the samurai may create is 3 meters, which can extend to a length of 8 meters. this technique has cutting strength similar to level 4 strength.[break]
As its name implies, this variation to the Chakra Form Manipulation grants the samurai the ability to enhance a plain, solid weapon with chakra extensions. Taking the shape of the current weapon in use, or another, the Samurai's pure chakra now coats their weapon, adding a unique versatility to their approach in combat.[break][break]
Note: These extensions must be simple (an axe, hammer, etc.) and forged from either a solid, traditional weapon. The same restrictions for Weapon Creation applies to these extensions, in term of extending and size. this technique has cutting strength similar to level 5 strength[break][break]
Engetsu 偃月 (Old Moon)[break] Rank: A[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m~)[break] Type: Taijtusu[break] Handseals: --[break] Chakra Consumption: x2 High[break]
By accumulating more chakra into the blades of their sword(s), the Samurai is able to produce much larger chakra cutters, alike the Naideshou Gonyuu style's "Sorekiri (Weapon Deployment)" technique. These move just as fast as their smaller counterpart, which is identical to that of a shot arrow. This is able to go through up to A-ranked or lower jutsu/equipment by its full measurement. These are always shaped like a crescent (curved chakra blade creation), measuring ten (10) meters in length, and two-and-a-half (2.5) meters in width.[break][break]
Note: Requires the user to be an Adept Samurai with the Naideshou Gonyuu style. These randomly dissipate completely after traveling twenty (20) meters exactly, but maintain full potential up until that point. this technique has cutting strength similar to level 6 strength[break][break]
Bakushin (Weapon Explosion)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: High [break] The final step behind mastering the art of Chakra Form Manipulation involves reversing the flow paths of the absorption at such rapid rates that a sudden release of energy over the imminent build-up comes forth. This means that any chakra creation the Samurai makes, whether it comes in projectile form or extended from the user's blade, will explode on contact away from the Samurai and completely on their chosen target.[break][break]
Note: The intensity of the explosion, originating from the user’s blade, is equivalent to that of several (4) explosive notes. The size of the explosion is roughly three meters is a conical fashion wherever the blade of the user’s sword is pointed.[break][break]
This technique can only be used with a physical weapon (non chakra created). Likewise, this ability takes a full post to charge, in which no other techniques can be used. However, after this ability has been charged, the user may continue to battle and detonate the blade whenever he\she feels like it. this technique has cutting strength similar to level 7 strength[break][break]
Kokuryū no Fūin 黒龍の封 (Black Dragon Seal)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Seal (Taijtusu)[break] Handseals: --[break] Chakra Consumption: -- Passive to have active, x2 cost to double each jutsu[break]
When the seal activated, said Humans are normally supposed to achieve greater feats of their inherent chakra elements prowess. However, due to the Samurai's inherent "Seal of the Bladed Warrior" being bound to their chakra network and being the reason they can't perform hand-seals (Ninjutsu/Genjutsu/etc), this marginally increases their Taijtusu feats and prowess, causing their normally generic blue chakra to take on an ebony (black) hue if it takes on a physical manifestation for the technique. This operates by utilizing more chakra when a jutsu is used by the Samurai, and doubles (x2) the potential output of every aspect (power/range/speed) of said jutsu. This seal was created by the same family line whose responsible for the "Seal of the Bladed Warrior", and was given to Ichirou Hakamada's Father, as well as many other Samurai, to pass down their lineage if they so chose to.[break][break]
Note: Activation of this technique takes one (1) post which can be split between posts, still allowing movement and basic physical attacks. Cancellation of the technique is nigh instantaneous. The seal can be active for a total of five (5) posts by Adept Samurai, and six (6) posts for Master Samurai. This can only be activated once per thread. this technique +2 in Physical attributes [break][break]

Ronin-Satsugai no Fuuin (Seal of the Bladed Warrior)[break][break] Rank: S[break] Range: -[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: - [break] The Seal of the Bladed Warrior was the Samurai founder's secret to attaining a new level of power. Knowledge borrowed from their neighboring chakra experts, Whirlpool, the Samurai Clan developed a seal that would ensure the self-preservation of all Samurai, as well as their place in new history. By binding an advanced seal at the core of their chakra network directly after birth, the Samurai essentially created a steady, sustained flow of pure, raw chakra. Constantly feeding outwards and unable to be turned off, this sudden increase in their chakra output allows them to remain on par with their shinobi counterparts by producing a combination of raw, powerful attacks with their traditional Bushido, at the cost of being unable to create seals and mold chakra properly due to the pressure of the surging energy. The seal itself is a combination of ancient kanji and other shapes, and is usually placed on the chest. [break][break]
Note: This seal is placed upon all samurai, essentially doubling their chakra capacity by opening their chakra pathways in a somewhat similar way to Hachimontokou. However, because of this, it prevents samurai from being able to finely mold chakra in terms of jutsu, making handseals and the like useless (i.e preventing them from using Ninjutsu, Fuuinjutsu, and Genjutsu). At the same time, this erratic chakra nature also prevents samurai from falling victim to genjutsu.[break][break]
