Welcome to Gaia! ::

((me and Jake decided it would be a fun thing to start up. A thread in honor to the great Dark Hand leader Joa Boo and Jakes guy.))

Bio:
The Country of Falthor is a distanced island far from the country of Kine. Back in this time it was isolated by one Empire over the entire island and completely innocent form life else where on the planet of Aeonce. The emperor Goua Dinpoa lead his mighty empire with a stern fist all the way up till his death. He was a hardy dictator who crushed all the other smaller dynasties until he alone had control of Falthor. Now under his control it is mostly peaceful, or at least forced that way. The way of life is conditioned into the people of it's land by a harsh religion slightly based off of the Japanese bishito(sp). They where constantly worried about honor and all of life’s standards played upon what rank you held with your family. for each social class there where levels of rank one could reach and this recycled with age. For most the highest was the Royal Guard, but few ever reached it. One would demonstrate complete loyalty to his majesty and empire at all times and swares an oath to protect that of which he owned. Every man was forced into fighting camps and learned to wield a sword before they could write. Only scholars where aloud to put things down on paper and every one else could only express through any other means. Life for a women was care taker of home and family, as well as anything pertaining to any male of the house.

The geographic stand point of Falthor makes it a perfect country to feed itself. It has everything from it's own jungle to mountains. Up in the higher reaches of the mountains lived the monks devoted to their special art ((more of Jakes story)) but down in the village was where most of life took place.

Your part:
Instead of coming out and just writing about Joa Boo's past and his life before he went crazy, I thought it would be more fun for everyone to be apart in what ever way they wanted of the hero that went bad and now creates the biggest plot line for my favorite role play around, Rune Seeker. Your story can either start here with Joa Boo in the village, modeled after fuddle Japan, or the mountains with the ninjas in Jakes story. Please join in and help round out the mysteries of this young mans life.

ps. Helena has no choice...she is in this weather or not she plays herself.

((Can there be guns? Because I have a sweet idea for a char, but he uses guns.))

MASTER NINJA YOSAKI - "Well well hello there." there were three elders. Yosaki of the Assassin arts. This man is old and feeble carries a cane, but he can so out run anyone in the town. He also is the leader of the three.
"You must be Salfos the boy who lost his father. We welcome you to the iga clan. Our clan is the strongest in land as of now. I'm sure you know that we speacilize in the Dark and Shadow arts, as well as assassinations. I am Yosaki master of the combat arts. I will show you how to wield the variety of weapons we ninja use and how to be stealthy without powers."
he rubbed his long silver beard that was as tall as himself

MASTER NOGASAI - A tall young women who hair is black as night and her green eyes are the only thing that show under her ninja suit. she also wields dual Katana located on her lower back. her suit is a dark red color.
"Welcome i am Nogasai young one. i will show you how to move and look like your shadow for i am the Shadow arts master. i sense a great dark inside you which will help be one with the shadows.

MASTER KYOSHI - This one is different than any of the other master for he is a fox demon. He is the animal symbol of stealth and keeness. iga value foxes and often wear mask of them. He is tallest of them all and is a very dark brownish-red color with bright yellow eyes. He also is very attuned to magic.
"I am Kyoshi. Fox demon of the Iga. I will show you how to use the element of darkness and for you will be able to cast the dark magic we value so much. we are pleased to have you here." bowing his head.

SALFOS IS BLACK TEXT- Kneeling and bowing " thank you master i am honored by your presence i am ready to learn."

"not so fast anxious one. do not be so quick for having patience is what will control most of your abilities. we will Rensa will show you the grounds of our village and take you to your final house. Rensa was a young lad of around 17 with sandy blonde hair and a little on the thin side he been with the clan for over half a year.
he rings a bell and a door slides open reveling Rensa standing there at attention in the dark blue uniform of the Iga Apprentinces.

MASTER MAGOICHI - Magoichi was a man in his thirties. who wore a bandolier and carried his faithful musket. he was also the biggest womanizer, but still he founded the Meika clan to show the other clans that change can be good.
"well well Prowler you might be good as me. hahahahahah!"
he slaps Prowler on the shoulder
"at your celebration tonight sit by me and we shall drink."

"Now Prowler do try and pay attention this time, for i know your trying to see if your going to be attacked by Masu. He wont attack in the village and its forbidden to fight on a celebration. He can challenge you to a marksman contest and thats it if he does go rogue have no worries. But I have an important mission for you my son....you have no other choice but to take this upmost importance." a look of seriousness took over his face."I need you to pay attention, don't let your troubles forget your discipline to the clan." crossing his arms and drinking some sake.


Masu was filled with rage. How could Prowler beat him. Prowler for goodness sakes. well that won't matter anymore not in a couple of days. Masu gave the death glare to Prowler, but knew better to fight in the village. he may be angry but not a fool.He eventually leaves the party and walks into the woods.

Salfos followed Rensa into his hut. Rensa said that they will be bunking and that tommorrow Salfos training shall begin. Rensa had already learned how to use a katana and he also knew some of the hiding techniques of shadow arts. He exclaims that he will be getting survelliance missions soon. Salfos was just in awe of this pupils training and was eding for his own. He did learn one weapon from his father, which was a great sword. He kept his father's sword with him. the master had permitted him to have it and learn it.

"You are to go Iga clan.Master Kenyo will be flying back soon. he has been in council with the Iga clan. the Koga is once again trying to start uprising against the Iga. Iga has ask us to join up with them for they see that Koga will jeporadize the Clans secretive ways. Apparently Koga wants to sell the other clans out for their safe keeping and becoming part of the royal guard. Iga is the ruling clan as of now and they disagree. You are one of our most devoted people to the ways of the clan. We specialize in Tracking and Marksmanship and managing the new weapons. that is our price for giving up the arts. you shall be departing tommorrow afternoon to the Iga Clan village. Kenyo will be returning with escorts to take you there. Keep your manners and obey there ways. For to upset Iga means death. Do you know why my son?" He drinks more sake and watches the entertainment.

Prowler smirked, "Why?" he questioned. He felt invincible. Going with the Iga...envoy, it was all very honorable. He was going to get a chance to proove his power to those around him. Prowler's fondest wish was always to go where no ninja had ever gone, to see amazing things on the frontier. That's why his tracking record wasn't shabby in comparison with his marksman skills either.
