Takashi Akio is a legendary sensei of the finest sword Gakko in Ryu. The majority of the Takashi line has learning under his excellent tutelage. Now in the twilight years of his life and with the need for all able body warriors to answer Hida’s call, Akio has put down his Bokken and stepped forward to offer his life in service to his lord. Still a fearsome warrior but the real advantage he offers any fighting force is his expert knowledge of combat. His ability to instruct the samurai around him with either a point to a chink in a seemingly impenetrable suit of armour to a swift reminder of the techniques he taught them on the dust training ring of the Gakko, he is another strong commander to join the Prefecture of Ryu’s ranks.

Sensei at the Koryu school in Ryu, Katsumoto has for many years passed his exceptional tactical skills on to the sons of the Takashi clan. It is recognised that much of the military success in the Dragon wars was down to Katsumoto’s cunning. Katsumoto spent much of his formative years in the lands of the West, studying in the further flung schools, tirelessly researching the local teachings of warfare, always hungry for knowledge. On the battlefield Katsumoto is the personification of calm, every move is considered, every order weighed. Those who have faced the old warhorse know that there is never an easy victory when Katsumoto Takashi is your opponent.

Kenta is a true samurai in every sense of the word. As a boy he knew his path, the one he has walked for many cycles in service to his family and the name Takashi.

Samurai culture has both military and feudal culture. Everyone fits into the social pyramid where a leader had his trusted supporters under his command. They in turn had their own respective supporters under their command, and so on and so on. The Takashi retainers are all capable warriors in the service of a Takashi Samurai of a higher rank, willing to lay down their lives in service. A high ranking lord will always have at least a hand full of retainers watching and guarding them at all times, constantly scanning a crowd or appraising a seemingly harmless peasant seeking council.

Wasupu: It is unclear exactly where the Silvermoon source their knowledge of new technologies. Whether through a shrewd business deal or more nefarious means the Syndicate acquired the intricate, rapid, reloading mechanism showcased in their repeater crossbows. Wasupu wields this fearsome weapon with great skill and accuracy. Using the finest Minimoto steel, his bolts find the weak points in even the finest armours. On top of this Wasapu can identify the weak points of even the toughest beast.

Senpu: The only way to ascend the ranks of the Silvermoon is to show undying loyalty to one’s Oyabun, guile and cunning to advance the collective goals of your gumi and the syndicate as a whole, and finally savagely and without question removing any threats to the organisation. Senpu is a veteran of many missions and a dangerous opponent, with a target in his sights he advances upon the foe, his twin butterfly swords a blur of motion bouncing missiles aimed at him away until close enough for a flurry of blows to fell his adversary.

Akashi retired as a legend from the fighting pits having garnered renown even outside the empire. His return to the Jwar Isles has had many question the motives behind his return. He has stirred feelings in the Buto that many would prefer buried and it seems that he has become increasingly political as he has aged. Although old Yokozuna is still a threat and as in in his heyday he still does not acknowledge the idea of being beaten.
