https://zdemnsrpgforum.rpg-board.net/t180-heroes-rising-sub-forum#14217https://zdemnsrpgforum.rpg-board.net/t180-heroes-rising-sub-forum#14235The Cashew Clan are Froggy's Character's Kelly's ancestors. there's 31 of them list with Gensiai Cashew being the oldest member of the clan he's Froggy's character Kelly's great great great great great great great great great great grandfather. the Cashew Clan are Yokai / Inugamis ( anthropomorphic, dog-like super natural creatures). the bad guys of the arc are Akechi Mitsuhide / Mijime na Ryuu The Twilight Lord ( hench the title of the arc) , Gakai Cashew ( froggy's character Kelly's great great great granduncle) , Tasaki Cashew ( froggy's character's great great great grandaunt) the Kaijin Army, and the 10 Kaiju Masters Kaijin who have Kaiju companions that obey their every command.
however not all Kaijin are bad, Princess Pipii will turn out to be a Kaijin who was rise by humans, and the civilian Kaijin are generally good and will turn out to be oppressed under the Twilight lord's rule. right now the odds are lopside with good side have 31 people on their side, and the bad side only have 13 people on their side.
the Kaijin are like Japanese vampires the feed on blood, but instead of have four fangs , they have sixteen fangs. they also possessed super natural powers in the form of kinetic abilities or other powers. and like any super natural creature they have weakness. one of the weakness being that if they have a kinetic ability they are weak against the Kinetic ability that is opposite of theirs ( a rock-paper-scissors type deal), Shinto Spiritual force ( the Cashew Clan are Shinto warrior monks).
rice this is like garlic to them, gold this is akin to silver to them ( a Kaijin can be kill with gold but of course it would have to be a lethal gold weapon). Shinto holy icons such as Ema (small wooden plaques that prayers are written upon and left at a place in the shrine grounds ) , Omamori ( Shinto charms and talismans) , O-mikuji ( oracles written on strips of paper often found at Shinto shrines wrapped around tree branches) , Oonusa ( wooden wands with zigzag shaped paper on the end used in rituals) , sakaki ( a flowering evergreen tree native to Japan often used in rituals) , sandō ( the approach leading from a torii to a shrine), Shide ( - a zigzag-shaped paper streamer, often attached to a shimenawa or tamagushi and used in rituals) , shimenawa ( A length of braided rice straw rope used for ritual purification) , shintai ( A sacred object, usually a mirror, a jewel, or a sword, which represents the kami for worship) , tamagushi ( literally "jewel skewer". A form of offering made from a sakaki-tree branch and strips of paper, silk, or cotton) , Torii ( the iconic Shinto gate at the entrance of a sacred area, usually a shrine)
, tamagaki ( The fence delimiting the sacred soil of a Shinto shrine) , yorishiro ( an object capable of attracting kami for a ceremony. Trees, rocks, magatama, gohei, can be a yorishiro) , tōrō ( a lantern at a Shinto shrine ) and O-fuda ( is a type of household amulet or talisman, issued by a Shinto shrine, hung in the house for protection). they can not walk on Shinto holy ground ( that includes shinto monasteries and Shinto religous sights)
salt has a corrosive effect when it comes incontact with their skin ( a lot of super natural creatures seem weak against salt) the expection to this rule is the Twilight Lord he is the Dracula of the Kaijin and therefore is weak against one thing and one thing only Shinto Spiritual force. Kaijin are also monstrous humanoid in appearance with some looking more human then others.
this is the start of the Gold Fire Year One- Twilight arc
https://zdemnsrpgforum.rpg-board.net/t182p30-gold-fire-year-one-saga#14893yeah it's pretty much on the same thread as the first one no need to waste making another thread just for the second arc.
note I change the title to title of the thread to Gold Fire Year One Saga indicating that it is a Saga and will include multiple arcs. the other thread which has start yet the Return of Gold Fire Year One is going to be about the tenth Golden Kensei Ryuu Miyamoto the descented of fifth Golden Kensei Miyamoto Musashi .
now how this works exactly like how Thor's hammer works meaning that only a person who is deem worthy by Hachiman, Bishamonten and the Four Heavenly Kings ( which Bishamonten is the chief of) can use the Masumune and transform into the Golden Kensei and have the aid of the six elemental animal spirits that can morph into the avatar of Bishamonten , the 80 foot humanoid dragon Omrouruo " the Great Dragon King".
Omrouruo was actually evil at first and command a massive demonic dragon men army . of course Omrouruo and his army where stop by Amasterasu the Japanese sun goddess and Omruruo was spare by her. it took Hachiman borrowing all spirtual energy of all the collective people of Japan at the time, all collective spirtual energy of people in other asian countries, the spirutal energy of people in non asian countries, combine power of all of the deities in every pantheon minus, the King Gods, and the Outer Gods. plus combination attack from Hachiman and Amasterasu in her wolf form just to beat Amatsu-Mikaboshi and trap him in the void which the Four Heavenly Kings and the Lucky gods sealed.
Amatsu-Mikaboshi had got so powerful because desperation in Bishamonten back then a desperation to make fine batch of warriors equal to the spartans. Amatsu-Mikaboshi took advatage of this and possessed Bishamonten. plus he got more powerful from destruction that was happen in Japan at the time. Bishamonten wouldn't get the warriors he seek until 1180 AD.
