Thank you for playing the game, Akuta! I have to say, I really dug that character profile submission. :) Thanks for hosting! I'm happy that the profile submission found a receptive audience! Writing normal little character blurbs is hard for the writer's block sometimes but if I find something I ca...

Oh, and before I forget: I know I shared it on Discord but with some players not being present too much there, I figured I'd share the template I used for my character background here. Enjoy and modify for your own purposes! ..=============================================================.. //|S.I.S....

Akuta's parents were workers on projects in the Spirit Furnace as independent contractors before it blew up and after the plant went critical and turned into the Desolation, he became an orphaned ronin. Also: Not too much, but understandably so. Got paid a bunch of koku for lopping off the head of t...

As the title says.

Sliding the bag towards himself with his own foot, Akuta uses a surprising amount of manual dexterity to slip off a sandal and lift up the bag, depositing it into his lap after he sits down. "Mhm. Bit less punctual than I would have liked, but what can you do?" He rolls a shoulder and groans, trying...

Having recently wandered out of the Desolation, a shabbily clad ronin makes his way into the bar he was told to meet up at with a certain Mantis. He looked dog (ha) tired but was holding it together outwardly. After all, this was home turf and he couldn't look too weak. Looking around, he eventually...

Akuta stared into the portal a bit longer, not quite acknowledging the Mantis quite yet. After a few minutes had passed, he would turn to the heiress and give a nod. "Yeah, I'm comin'. Be right behind you. Just gotta make a call first. Go on, shoo." He waved a hand with a half dismissive motion and ...

While the shugenja attended to the spirits of naked earth women, the wolf kept his eyes sweeping the landscape around them for threats. Last thing I fuckin' need is the creepy eyed one poppin' up out here and making the others bolt... After the rocky communion and Seika walks over to the portal as i...

"Fuck if I know if we can do anything about it...but I know that's a portal to Gaki-do directly. When the maskers blew this place, made the border between here and there all fuzzy. Don't suppose one of ya is carryin' a realm zipper, eh?" He looked over at the portal, weapons still grasped. "I can ca...

Akuta ignores the others for the moment, looking carefully over the portal and hoping to glean some insight on what exactly they can actually do about it. Maybe that weird gaki burning lantern... It certainly was a puzzle...but perhaps one of the others also had some insight into the situation. Turn...

As the gaki falls from the surprising strike from the Susumu, Akuta smirks. "Not the weapon I would have first went with Susumu-hime, but looks like you really rung it's bell. Fuckin' gaki. The big ass horned one was a pain, the one that could walk through walls was a pain...now these two assholes."...

As he dodges and twists out of the way, a mocking laugh comes from Akuta as he deflects her claws off of his blade. He slashes back at her in return, going for a long cut across her chest and neck, hoping to finish her off so he can collect her and her friends heads. "You're looking like the snack n...

One down, one to go...and whatever else comes out of that portal. And then hopefully to a warm bed and a payday. Akuta moves up, trying to maintain a canny defense as he rushes over. The Crab has gone down and if it's the Spider they're after, he's going to have to dangle some bait or at least make...

"Say thanks later Watanabe-hime!" Breaking his focus, Akuta takes aim with his pistol at the more feminine looking gaki and he exhales a deep breath he didn't realize he had been holding. He hopes his aim was true as the weapon spat coherent light and hopefully striking the creature and wounding her...

If any of the non-gaki present were hoping for a gallant rescue, unfortunately they were to be disappointed. Wandering through the mess of the Desolation towards the portal, Akuta was dressed for bear, managing to don himself the lightly protective armor that he acquired and armed with full daisho a...

"I've heard that you're all in hard with the Lion over the Crossroads...even living under a rock it gets shouted loud enough. And I expected military, yeah. Get me a free ride and throw me into the meat grinder, eh Watanabe-hime?" He grins and waves a hand pre-emptively, further indicating his jest....

"Do a favor, eh?" He considers, idly rolling a shoulder. "Probably swing something like that...and private Mantis beach, eh? I'll have to buy some swim trunks so I'm not jumping in naked or in my fundoshi." As his gears turn mentally, his fingers begin to drum on the tabletop again. "So...what sorts...

"I don't know about you, but they tend to want to keep shabby people like myself off of the beach. Lower the property value or something like that." As Seika names the Mantis worlds, he closes his eyes for the moment, picturing such places in his mind. "Sounds like it could be a good time. Hope to s...

Mention of the spiritual energy coming from the people who died almost instantly hardens the expression of the wolf, who had begun to idly tap his fingers but now rather abruptly stops. "Yeah...fuck that. I'll be on the lookout for them and the people who would use 'em." When she mentions the half-u...
