Additional Comments


Truthfully, it's been a while for me. Last time I was GM, I felt lackluster. Always ideas, never enough fervor to see them through. Lately I have been regaining that zeal to create. I would see this as an opportunity to mesh my writing with a member in aid, so as to continue to increase both parties creative expansions. I can say that alot has seemed to change in much of my hiatus, but I am a quicker learner. This could also help me in my personal pursuit of becoming a short story writer.

A Fox in the Hen's House

Tori no Kuni

For centuries, there have been tales of ancient indigenous peoples hailing from Bird Country that have erected pyramids in ode to great birds of the sky. Upon the highest mountains, whose necks jut above even the clouds, there rests one of the aforementioned temples in question: the Eagle's Nest. Many believe the place to be cursed, given how none who went on raids there were never to return. However, there has been one who has stepped up---a foreigner named Luzige from the western lands of Tsurugi, that claims to know how to navigate the treacherous corridors of the aloft pyramid. Villagers still detest the thought of even stepping foot anywhere near the mountain range where it resides; but through promises, Luzige managed to get their blessing for such a journey.... he was not however, rewarded with the man power of the denizens of Hogochou. They would pay for the quest, but aid from surrounding Ninja Nation sources would be used to carry him up the mountain to the pyramid at the pinnacle. 

With letters being sent immediately to the nations of Stone, Rain, Grass and Waterfall, the scheming Luzige began an occult ritual to further influence the energies of the journey. Having not necessarily known of the lore behind the Eagle's Nest entirely themselves, the Fowlerd folk often asked the foreigner about what lay awaiting in the clutches of the spires of earth. Seeing how the villagers gave him shelter, and also promised to pay for the shinobi who would be sent on the expedition, Luzige shared bits and pieces of information with the townsfolk. He spoke of treasures and loot that any man would dream to possess; of weapons crafted from the beaks and talons of the great sky raptors, and perils that could be faced while inside of the Eagle's Nest. However.... and most suspiciously, he held a peculiar interest in the true sought after treasure, the Eagle's prismatic egg, and spoke very loosely of its functionality. He would often say things like, "The transmuting power of the egg is something most precious.." or that ".. it held deep secrets in the understanding and thus manipulation of the things it comes into contact with through its many shimmering facets."

Homeland Unknown
Village Unknown
Chaotic Neutral [Evil]

Genjutsu, Clan Specialist, Ritual/Alchemist

The guileful guide that leads the excursion into the Eagle's Nest. He is a brilliant man, known to possess arcane jutsu and alchemical skills on par with early hermetic men of the ninja world. Through cunning and seemingly benign disguises, he has lead a group of shinobi inside the depths of the lost pyramid, to utilize their skills in order for him to reach his sought after treasure unabated. Not much is known about the man... the natives of Tori kuni claim that he appeared one day from the west, where lies the Land of Swords..

- Raiton
- Most skills pertaining to animal senses: tracking, observation, etc

Luzige's animal companion that, too, is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Prior to being placed under the malefic influence of the prismatic egg located in the heart of the Eagle's Nest, Ammit is a pleasant canine to be around. However, do not take his adulterated form lightly--he becomes a now vicious and blood-lusting creature with glaring red eyes. His size increases and the fur on his body becomes a ghastly, flame appearing black; rows of serrate incisors line his maw and with exposed ribcage, he can take hold of an enemy and also consume and mangle them in that way. It could be speculated that Ammit is a bastard creation from Luzige's failed alchemical rituals; and due to this, the beast has become capable of tapping into elemental ninjutsu, most noticeably Raiton.

Other and not as important NPCs, like animal encounters or encountering bandits/missing ninja looking too, to reach the Eagle's Nest.

Mmmm my biggest concern is the activity. Will you be sticking around? I'll give it a 1/3 but I do ask that you post in the activity section when you cannot.

1/3

I plan on sticking around, I have a new set of ideas I would like to try. And I can do that, big boss.

[👺 Usiel]

Due to recent events and the length of time I'm going to make an executive decision (which is something I rarely do) and give a 2/3 and 3/3.


If you say you'll be sticking around I'll give you a shot.
