Brave, strong and incredibly mobile Kenzo is the perfect soldier. Orochi’s touch has improved Kenzo’s ability to take the fight to the opponent and he does so with no care for his own safety. He strikes fast and more often than not he strikes first.

Little is known of Itsunagi Ito’s enforcer. The “Red Death” as he is known in Okyo, named so for the mask that never leaves his face. Some whisper that Orochi’s gift has warped and distorted his face. What is clear is that his mind is definitely twisted. The apparent satisfaction he makes from cleaving his foes in half, or the calmness in battle reflects the actions of one who is teetering close to madness. Rumours and conjecture aside what is undisputable is that Masunagi Ito is a fearsome and brutal warrior on the field of battle.

Another daughter of the Ito clan succumbed to the temptation of Orochi’s Blessing. Once a beautiful child of the Ito, with many a samurai lord interested in claiming her hand for a son. That was all before she started the visions that led her to her one and only partner, for now she is wed to Orochi. The Blessing awakening a deep power within her, granting her the power to grant minor gifts to fellow believers to conduct Orochi’s bidding. Her gaze able to bend the minds of even the most resolute to her own ends or freeze them in place until they might serve a purpose for this deadly and beautiful Shugenja of the Ito.

The Ito source their serpents from the jungles of the island they inhabit, Izu. Having heard the call to serve their Kami these servants are an incredibly useful resource for the Ito. Individually they can be useful but when combined in larger numbers they can quickly outnumber and tire stronger opponents leaving them vulnerable to the companions’ attacks. Certain Ito have trained to work with the serpents and have developed useful techniques to stop the enemies of their clan.

Ashigaru are the mainstay of the houses of Jwar, making up the bulk of all the major and minor clans’ military forces. As one would expect they personify the teachings and martial practices of their lords. The Bear are strong and tough, the Dragon, drilled and brave and the Snake cowardly but cunning. Using their numbers to their advantage when fighting as a unit they are a formidable foe.

Naoko was one of the first to be blessed by Orochi when he was stirred from his slumber by the actions of Itsunagi. No one is sure where the transformation will take her next, but her size and the blinding venom she spits terrifies the hardiest of opponents.

The ashigaru in the Okyo garrisons are massing in preparation for the battles to come. Whether armed with the Okyo naginata, a slightly smaller version of the standard weapon due to the confines of the terrain, or the Ito short bow they are ready to combat the enemies of the snake. The versatile archers make excellent skirmishers, lightly passing through the densest undergrowth before raining death upon the enemy with cold Izu steel.

Orochi’s gift presents differently in all her worthy followers, it might be a reflection of an individual’s persona or of Orochi’s intentions for them, subtly crafting the recipient into a tool in the service of their god. If Saburo were a tool it would be a scalpel, fashioned of Minimoto steel. This cool and calm servant of the Ito was once a temple bushi, and as all who demonstrate their devotion was chosen to receive the gift. The physical training that is integral to the training of the Orochi temple bushi was only further enhanced after his transformation into a hebimiman. Now the frightening warrior of the Ito emerges from the shadows to dispatch the enemies of the Ito, disappearing just as fast leaving his foes shocked and with no target for retaliation.

A priestess of Orochi, she has dedicated her life to the snake kami and has been favoured by beginning the transformation. With the merest of looks Sakura can corrupt a man, turning the blood running through his veins into poison.

He is beast of a man revered by the Ito ashigaru for his size and strength. Some jokingly claim he must have been stolen from the Minimoto, but never within earshot of Satoshi. His sheer determination have seen him survive where others would submit.

The strength of sisterhood found in the Shisai of Orochi is not like the standard bonds found in faith. The Shisai of Orochi are spiritually and mentally stronger in the presence of their sisters. Few in the Jwar Isles can challenge the will of two let alone three of these fervent believers in Orochi’s power. Satsuki like the other Shisai lets Orochi’s will flow through her, becoming a channel with which Orochi can strike down its enemies. Those who stand against the Ito shisai fall crumpled to ground, wracked in agony as Orochi’s poison destroys their bodies from the inside, Satsuki’s presence accelerating the process to terrifying speeds, leaving only the faithful to walk in Orochi’s lands.

The island of Izu is one of the less habitable places in the whole of the Jwar Isles, bestowed upon the Ito as a slight by the Eagle clan to make it clear to all, including their subordinate clan, who rules. A broken landscape with little arable land for farming, brimming with danger and hazard from the hostile terrain or its inhabitants, beasts unique to the island fill its dense jungles. Beautiful as they are exotic, with colourings to make the royal gardens seem dull in comparison. Amongst the many reptiles lurking in the shadows of the canopy the Shimogama vipers are some of the largest and deadliest. Five foot of muscle, harnessed by great feathery wings enables the snake’s great power and movement, striking without warning and disappearing just as fast. These ancient predators of the jungle are drawn to the service of their mother in times of war.

Deep in the cold, moist temples to Orochi where the greatest nightmares lurk, Taisei waits, conserving his energy only for the bidding of the one true Kami. His physical prowess making him an impressive specimen of the Hebi, his great strength allowing him to wield the no-dachi with frightening agility, fearsome power or crushing an enemy beneath muscled coils, immobilised and helpless to the mercy of the merciless.

Takeji is renowned for his bravery and steadfastness; born to a higher status he could have achieved great heights as a samurai. As it is he is an important member of the Ito’s small force of ashigaru, his qualities have however been noted by his superiors.

Where the Prefecture have embraced the new advancements of gunpowder weapons the Ito have always preferred to concentrate their martial pursuits on the more traditional weaponry, specifically the short bow which their archers wield to great effect. Their archers are swift and deadly in the terrain of Izu, and their slightly smaller bows allow for maximum movement in the jungles. Tamotsu is a gifted scout, trail finder and an integral part of the Ito’s war efforts.

The Temple Bushi are chosen from the ranks of the Ito’s ashigaru for skill and prowess shown on the battlefield. Only the best are selected to guard the temple of Orochi and it is considered a great honour to be chosen.

It’s unclear if this huge snake is a priestess of Orochi warped by the Kami into its image or simply a monster from the jungles of Shimagamo. In battle Yatsumata moves with frightening speed and direction as if guided by an unseen hand. In combat each head can deliver a muscle wasting venom through foot long fangs as hard as iron, downing even the toughest warriors as they are reduced to a whimpering mess. Two heads leave the unholy beast with few natural blind spots, adding to its already strong survivability and resilience gifted by its speed and thick scales.
