Prologue
Who...are you?





Kensei (pronounced 'kay-ssay' in Japanese)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFvIc4xcYpI




To achieve destiny, the Kensei must be a victor, guardian, and leader. Full, heavy lacquered armour of the highest quality, and astounding willpower, makes the Kensei a stalwart, steadfast, imposing, intimidating hero. The long reach of the odachi also makes it useful against cavalry and large monsters.

Some Kensei wear bulletproof breastplates, but these are quite heavy.

Swordsaint
Your astounding willpower increases offensive capabilities that cause severe bleeding, you automatically block or parry incoming strikes, and you are resistant to fear, pain, and injuries. Lasts three turns.

Arrow Storm
If available, archers will shower arrows in the area you point at.

Unblockable
Your heavy attacks can’t be blocked or parried for one turn.

Shieldbiter
Your heavy attacks shatter shields of ordinary enemies, and knock aside stronger shields.

Banzai
Perform a fearless, indomitable charge, enticing NPC allies to do likewise, boosting offensive capabilities of you and your allies for three turns. As bodies pile around you, enemy heroes may be drawn to you, seeking out a worthy foe.

Walking Banner
Presence inspires NPC allies.

Juggernaut
While stationary or moving slowly, defensive capabilities increased, and you are more difficult to be stifled, for two turns.

Tiger's Roar
Warcry intimidates nearby enemies, lowering their offensive capabilities for two turns.

Chilling Glare
Scowling and then keeping eye contact intimidates foe, lowering their offensive capabilities for two turns.

Overpower
Foes with poor equilibrium are knocked down by your heavy attacks.

Shugoki (‘Guardian-demon’)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIEAHHP4ieY



He will only become yokozuna when he fiercely guards his people as if his own family. As strong and terrifying as oni, rock-solid willpower makes up for his clumsiness, but his footfall is like a nagado! His partial wooden armour is buoyant, and the length of his kanabo makes it useful against huge foes.

Unbreakable Will
Automatically block or shield incoming dangers, and be resistant to fear, curses, pain, injuries and poison, and your heavy attacks hurl foes off their feet even if blocked. Lasts three turns.

Crusher
Your heavy attacks are difficult to block or parry, and you can knock down foes with poor equilibrium.

Body Count
As you kill more enemies and their corpses pile around you, your offensive abilities increase, and additional enemies are more likely to be wary of you, for three turns. However, you may also get the attention of enemy heroes, who wish to challenge such a powerful rival!

Shieldbiter
Your heavy attacks shatter shields of ordinary enemies, and knock aside stronger shields.

Demonic Howl
Warcry intimidates nearby enemies, lowering their offensive capabilities for two turns.

Sumo
For three turns, defense increased, you are difficult to be stifled, and upon charging into an enemy you smash them off their feet.

Oni's Face
Whoever beholds your visage is intimidated, lowering offense for as long as they face you.

Charge of the Oni
Suddenly perform an indomitable stampede for one turn.

Oni’s Embrace
Upon grasping a foe, throw them over your shoulder, then hold your kanabo at either end up high, then pull it down against your foe's back with crushing force.

Waga shuchuu ni ari!
Your attacks can knock over foes with poor footing or injured legs, and your grip can lock onto them or their equipment.

Orochi (‘Dragon')
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptIpax-Y0p8


Named after Yamata no Orochi, only one who masters skill, strength, agility, patience, and cunning can truly become a dragon. Flexible wooden body armour is buoyant, and the metal helmet provides good head protection. The Orochi also has excellent skills in swimming and acrobatics.

Iaito is a special technique, of which the user suddenly unsheathes one's katana while cutting with it, hence why the Orochi wears the katana with the blade facing up.

Tsubame Gaeshi is a mysterious move, of which the user suddenly spins around and delivers a swift cut. Said to be able to cut a bird in half as it flies behind you.

Automatically block or parry incoming strikes, run and attack swiftly and precisely, be immune to fear and pain, and increase stealth and strength, for three turns.

Arrow Storm
If available, archers will shower arrows in the area you point at.

Serpent's Kunai
Hiss like a snake while suddenly throwing this spike at your foe, coated with venom.

Igneus Imber
Set up a fiery trap, or suddenly hurl a handful of vials that combusts violently in a large area.

Snake Eyes
Intimidate the enemy you stare at, lowering their offensive capabilities whilst increasing your attack speed, for two turns.

Blade Dancer
For three turns, attack and dodge at the same time, and perform ghostly feints.

Killer Counter
For two turns, upon parrying an enemy's weapon, you counter with greater force.

Bloody
Successful attacks cause severe bleeding.

Die Hard
Upon receiving bloody injuries, defensive capabilities increased for two turns.

Slayer
Vocalize your kiai, and for one turn, your combative abilities are increased when fighting other heroes or monsters.

Nobushi (‘Outsider Warrior’)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx3RsqwTiA


The onna bugeisha is a protector of her castle, villages and the wild woods, and a mysterious huntress of her enemies. Very lightly armoured, but equipped with a long polearm useful against cavalry and large monsters. Has excellent skills in scouting, spying, stalking, pathfinding, swimming, and the yumi, as would be expected of a huntress.

Haato no Joou
Humbleness, natural elegance, and hidden aggression in a beautiful lady make her quite imposing and eye-catching. She can be a geisha if necessary...

Shieldbiter
Your heavy attacks shatter shields of ordinary enemies, and knock aside stronger shields.

Bloody
Successful attacks cause severe bleeding.

Body Count
As you kill more enemies and their corpses pile around you, your offensive abilities increase, and additional enemies are more likely to be wary of you. However, you may also get the attention of enemy heroes, who wish to challenge such a powerful rival.

Shinobi no Mono (‘One who patiently waits’)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYGLiNChDAQ



Destiny lies in the shadows, where patience, silence, solace, and secrecy abound. Shinobi can also perform sliding kicks, useful for tripping foes or sliding off ledges. The kaginawa and kusarigama allows scaling of walls, trees, cliffs, and buildings, and ranged attacks.

Ninja
Enables excellent reconnaissance, swift movement, sprinting even when exhausted, your veil filters dust and airborne dangers, and automatically block or parry attacks, for three turns.

Fiat Lux
A powerful flashing bomb, either set up as a trap or suddenly thrown. Blinds everyone caught within the flash for one turn.

Shadowmeld
While stationary or moving slowly in darkness, your body looks like a shadow, making you nearly invisible even up close.

Smoke Bomb
Suddenly throw a bomb, or set it up as a trap. Upon exploding, releases noxious smoke in a large area, and creates a smoke screen.

Shooting Stars
Suddenly throw a handful of shurikens, or scatter them as tetsubishi on the ground. Ineffective against armour, but causes bleeding.

Poison Bomb
Suddenly throw a bomb, or set it up as a trap. Upon bursting, releases both venom and poisonous powder, poisoning any who inhale the powder or get venom on their bare skin.

Shadow of Death
If hiding, or while in darkness, assassinations do not alert and you remain hidden.

Nukekubi
While performing a combo, you shift into transparency for a second, and successful attacks restore stamina.

Hooks and Chains
When thrown or whipped, your kusarigama slip or wiggle around shields and weapons, allowing you to partly bypass blocks and parries.

Kokomadeka
Perform one last action upon being incapacitated.

Aramusha (‘Wild warrior’)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oKPuEyCpvY
You had no destiny. It was taken from you. So, you served as a mercenary and enforcer. Is there a reason to chase after loyalty or honour for the sake of ideas? Having left your past, all that is left is your desire to spill blood, maybe for money or ego. Perhaps honourable bloodshed will grant you penance or your destiny, or finally, quell your disturbing desires...

Niten Ichi-ryû
When wielding two blades, you can attack and defend at the same time, and even fight up to a few foes at once, for three turns.

Shieldbiter
Your heavy attacks shatter shields of ordinary enemies, and knock aside stronger shields.

Shift
Upon charging into your foe, you shift into transparency, avoiding whatever attack lie in wait for you, then reappear and...

Chilling Glare
Scowling and then keeping eye contact intimidates foe, lowering their offensive capabilities for two turns.

Smoke Bomb
Suddenly throw a bomb, or set it up as a trap. Upon exploding, releases noxious smoke in a large area, and creates a smoke screen.

Berserk
Vocalize your kiai and unleash your bitter rage. Ignore pain, fatigue, fear, curses, injuries, and any negative status effects, increase strength and speed, and successful attacks cause severe bleeding, but your defence is lowered. Lasts three turns.

Frag
Set up a nail bomb trap, or suddenly hurl a fragmentation grenade. The shrapnel and nails have a large blast radius, and induce severe bleeding, but are ineffective against metal armour.

Oikase
Speed increases when chasing after someone, you can sprint even when exhausted, and the pursued enemy cannot hide or escape from your bloodlust.

Blade Dancer
For three turns, attack and dodge at the same time, and perform ghostly feints.

Last Laugh
Upon being incapacitated or killed, you automatically drop a high impact explosive.

Oni (‘Demon’)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uF9_8DMjUk



Similar to Orochi, Oni has a stronger emphasis on seeking out individual foes and bringing a ferocious, bloody fight to them. Although not as heavily armoured as Kensei, Oni is capable of fighting in prolonged melees with both ferocity and skill. Notable acrobatics despite full armour is a plus. Some Oni wear metal armour instead of wooden.

Iaito is a special technique, of which the user suddenly unsheathes one's katana while cutting with it, hence why the katana is worn with the blade facing up.

Slayer
Vocalize your kiai, and for one turn, your combative abilities are increased when fighting other heroes or monsters.

Demon’s Soul
Automatically block or parry incoming strikes, successful attacks cause severe bleeding, run and attack swiftly and precisely, and increases effectiveness of your feints and dodges, for three turns.

An aura of fear appears around you, lowering offence of nearby foes for two turns.

Kunai
Suddenly throw this spike into your foe.

Poisoned Blade
Pour gooey poison on your blade. If it ends up in a wound, induces poisoning.

Arrow Storm
If available, archers will shower arrows in the area you point at.

Banzai
Perform a fearless, indomitable charge, enticing NPC allies to do likewise, boosting offensive capabilities of you and your allies for three turns. As bodies pile around you, enemy heroes may be drawn to you, seeking out a worthy foe.

Bloodshot
Unleash your infernal rage, increasing strength and speed, and attacks cause severe bleeding. Lasts two turns.

Juggernaut
While stationary or moving slowly, defensive capabilities increased, and you are more difficult to be stifled, for two turns.

Unblockable
Your heavy attacks can’t be blocked or parried for one turn.

Heavy Infantry



Those who specialize in foot combat serve as frontline armoured shock troops wielding a yari, naginata or odachi as their primary weapon, and have a katana, wakizashi, and tanto as sidearms. Polearms are excellent and versatile weapons in duelling and battlefield formations, but have limited usage in a melee or once one's foe bypasses the polearm.

Polearms and great swords have excellent stopping power against horses, monsters, and infantry.

Immovable
Stand your ground fearlessly and present your weapon, forming a rock-solid stance that automatically skewers any who foolishly charges into you. NPC allies also gain a boost in morale and defence. Lasts three turns.

Shieldbiter
Your heavy attacks shatter shields of ordinary enemies, and knock aside stronger shields.

Banzai
Perform a fearless, indomitable charge, enticing NPC allies to do likewise, boosting offensive capabilities of you and your allies for three turns. As bodies pile around you, enemy heroes may be drawn to you, seeking out a worthy foe.

Juggernaut
While stationary or moving slowly, defensive capabilities increased, and you are more difficult to be stifled, for two turns.

Unblockable
Your heavy attacks can’t be blocked or parried for one turn.

Kiai
Startle your foe with a shout, lowing their offence for one turn.

Second Wind
Ignore exhaustion, pain, and any negative status effects, for two turns.

Arrow-cutter
Just like Tajima, you can whirl your weapon, cutting arrows as they fly to you. Only works when you are not focused on anything else.

Overpower
Foes with poor equilibrium are knocked down by your heavy attacks.

Bloody
Successful attacks cause severe bleeding.

Wako Warrior



They are fierce Japanese pirate-warriors, but some were Chinese or Korean, and a small portion even ronin. Wako also raid coastal villages and ports, and even attack European merchant ships. They tend to fight with a mix of Asian and European weaponry and attire, and had a reputation for hardiness, bravery, cunning, and survival instincts.

Firebomb
An explosive clay vessel that's attached to a thong, allowing the bomb to be whirled overhead and thrown much farther than normal.

Overpower
Foes with poor equilibrium are knocked down by your heavy attacks.

Body Count
As you kill more enemies and their corpses pile around you, your offensive abilities increase, and additional enemies are more likely to be wary of you. However, you may also get the attention of enemy heroes, who wish to challenge such a powerful rival.

Smoke Bomb
Suddenly throw a bomb, or set it up as a trap. Upon exploding, releases noxious smoke in a large area, and creates a smoke screen.

Berserk
Vocalize your kiai and unleash your bitter rage. Ignore pain, fatigue, fear, curses, injuries, and any negative status effects, increase strength and speed, and successful attacks cause severe bleeding, but your defence is lowered. Lasts three turns.

Frag
Set up a nail bomb trap, or suddenly hurl a fragmentation grenade. The shrapnel and nails have a large blast radius, and induce severe bleeding, but are ineffective against metal armour.

Second Wind
Ignore exhaustion, pain, and any negative status effects, for two turns.
