POST ONE - Chi-No Clan
Thumb if you like, don't really care.

Chi-no Clan
”Chi-no” translates roughly to “of blood”

History:
The Chi-no clan has its roots tied close to the “Mizu” clan. The Chi-no derived from the Mizu when their current daimyo, at first known as Mizu Tsuyoi, was outcasted from the Mizu village for developing his own methods of combat, known as “blood curdling” by the Chi-no clan. This style of combat is extremely dangerous, as it utilizes both the user's and enemy's blood and nervous systems; leaving the users open to attack and open to injury. Mizu Tsuyoi founded the Chi-no clan after perfecting his combat prowess, and developing his own new techniques of blood curdling. Mizu Tsuyoi is now known as Chi-no Sakenomi, and his relations with the Mizu clan have become tense.

After losing his son, Anbeddo Rignore, Shizori withdrew himself from outside contact. Shizori devoted all hours of every day to find a way to bring his son back to life, and he finally found a way. Two years before the fall of the shogunate, Shizori prayed for his son's return, and was approached by the devil himself. The deal was made. Shizori's son shall be brought back to life, along with Shizori's brother and sister.

Chi-no Sakenomi - The Mizu and Kami have been foolish to neglect the power of the chi-no for such a time, why had you not looked for our aide sooner in destroying such a forsaken foe?
Kami Victice - Let us not forget Sakenomi, that your powers are from a terrible source.
Sakenomi - Is blood so terrible that it give you life?

Rygo - You're welcome that i'm here Sakenomi, and the Lord as well.
Anbeddo Senesta - Well, we have not seen outsiders in a long time.
Rygo - You will not see much more after this point on Anbeddo. Your clan must prepare to meet their judgement.
Senesta - You know better than everyone else that we have already been judged Rygo, we are simply released early.
Rygo - Then instead parish entirely.
Senesta - For what? My family holds itself loyal to the land, perhaps not my brother, but my brother and nephew are loyal to the pledges they made in their lives before.
Rygo - Rignore had fallen from our God in his rising from the Devil, you dare tell me he is still loyal to our order?

Rygo - That is because the devil's magic is what brings you back!
Rignore - My father's sacrifice brought me back! And the lord's trade to the Devil, yet that will no sway your standing.
Sakenomi - Rygo, i know the Devil, and i'll tell you, he does not rest in this boy.
Rignore - Sakenomi, you dare not have a word in this village. You are the one who took my uncle's life.
Sakenomi - I didn't take, simply gave it to someone else, and it looks like that someone gave it back to him.
Rignore - I will teach you that a life is something not to be taken!

Sakenomi - That didn't stop him from keeping the boy on a loose leash Senesta.
Senesta - Sakenomi, what is it that brings you here to our village?
Yuukigaaru - We seek peace in the region, and order back to the shogun. We need allies. This region, the Hollow Lands, is one holding many that would be useful.
Senesta - I see, but Shizori has fallen... ill...
Sakenomi - Shizori will be taken care of.

Rewards : Anbeddo Rignore unlocked. 70 gold.

Anbeddo Cesari - Sakenomi.
Sakenomi - Never thought i'd see you again.
Cesari - I wonder why.
Sakenomi - Perhaps it is because you invaded the Chi-no and died taking what is ours.
Cesari - You want your Dagger then?
Sakenomi - Yes. You know the power of that heirloom belongs only to the Chi-no.
Rygo - Cesari, your nephew took something of ours to the grave as well.
Cesari - Rygo. That Prayer book served my nephew no good in his first life, why should it serve you differently?
Rygo - Because it was meant for the Kami, not him.

Rygo - Well then Rinelde, we follow you.
Kori - Rygo, i do not think that is wise, he is still a boy.
Rygo - He has been through more than us all Kori.
Kori - Yes, but that doesn't mean he is prepared.
Sakenomi - Let us move together, no leader. Anarchy. The state of nature. Only blood in bodies, motion, and death. The way the world began.
Rygo - Your history is lacking Sakenomi, i agree with Kori, we need someone strong to lead.
(Geto is waiting beyond the shadows)
Geto - Your party is strong. But Shizori is beyond human now.
Sakenomi - Everybody here is.
Geto - Inhumane does not mean you are not human Sakenomi.
Sakenomi - No, but the power wield is what makes me beyond human.
Geto - I cannot let you pass to your death so willingly.

Geto - Very well, let us move on.
Shizori - You just stepped into hell.
Rinelde - Father, we you know nothing of the torments that await there.

First! Go go DS! xD

Chyeah haha.

Isnt Sakenomi abit op for me?

Isnt Sakenomi abit op for me?

Probably, haha. I pretty much made him to deal alot of damage while taking alot, remember that heart expulsion's affliction stacks on top of his prep.

Umm, no invulnerabilty skill?

Umm, no invulnerabilty skill?

Nope just lots of damage, and a heal.

I've gotta go, i'll check the thread when i log on tomorrow, please leave comments on what i can change.
I don't expect these characters to be well balanced at this time, i need your help to do that!

interesting concept

Chi-no Sakenomi
Blood Lust is too good. Adding two random or one specific to the cost would be just right.
Heart Expulsion is channeling, but it stuns Sakenomi?

Chi-no Hanta
Non-White Guardian characters should have an invul move.

Chi-no Teishi
Regression needs reworking; it is broken.

Dagger of Woe
Clan items need the clan name in the item name, so Dagger of Chi-no is more appropriate as a clan item's name.

You characters seems a bit overpowered to me. Too many free skills granting random energies. Stuns. The ability to completely nulify someones damage for two turns. (if you haven't noticed or damage reducing skills ends when the enemy perform a skill)
