A Small Few (Open Rp Invite)
New beginnings start with small and careful steps. With meditation on the past, learning from the lesson wrought, and moving forward with conscious thought to not repeat the same mistakes. It is with new hope and a new understanding that I take my first steps to such a beginning. Knowing that such a beginning is paid for by an ending.
The Othardian Resistance was successful and those who added to it cause, forever heroes in my heart. The time for hidden armies is ending for now, as the Alliance takes up the mantle and others rebuild what was lost.
The need for grand dojos and warlords has also come to an end. At least for me. The politics of war, I have come to learn, are but the musing of leaders who are entrusted to make the right choices. Those choices are based on their own perceptions, their own ignorance, pride, purpose, and their own discriminations. Those decisions are made under the influence of rules, laws and in the end their own moral code. Even I am at fault for this. Though never again.
Never again will I offer hope to masses of people in a manipulation of their spirit to a cause that is decided by a select few. Never again will I allow the ideals of another to silence my own. Never again, will I wait for permission to do what I know is right. Never again will I allow the lackings of heart, soul, and mind to be ignored because of some showcase of politics. Never again will I pretend to be something or someone I am not.
I am no leader of war or battle. I am, however, clever and know when something is right. I am no leader of hearts and minds, but I am compassionate and strive to understand. I am no priest of the spirit to offer blessings and act as some benevolent leader. I am however a Shrine Witch and though I am trained to heal and exorcise demons of the soul, I also know how to take someone apart and condemn them to the abyss. I am not just any one thing. I am many. Just like the water and rain. Sometimes I am gentle and kind, offering love, hope, and joy. Other times, the rain turns into a hurricane and like it, I have a temper that is unmatched and without relent.
It is upon my reflects of the past and present that I have come to a new path.
If a small few can make choices that cause the slaughter of many for an agenda that is never shared with them, then a small few are powerful enough to stand up and do what needs to be done.
"It is my hope that instead of a great army, and need of a warlord, that a small few that train and learn to work together, can do far more for this world. That this small few can gather information, seek the truth, and protect all who need it. That this small few will not be blinded by parading displays. Will not be deafened by honey fed words. Will not be moved by side door politics. That this few will not sit idle while others plan battles that will eventually cause war. " She took a breath.
The story is rather broken but the ending is the same regardless of who tells it. Alliance force meet Imperial forces in the gamma quadrant of Azys Lla. During their battle, a great beast started attacking. It is said that a ceasefire came to terms and both sides retreated. The issues lie in two things:
One, the reason they were there, and the second is that only one side went home with anything, and that is the Imperials. They captured or killed the beast. It is my aim to retrieve the beast or at least information that they have collected about it. The truth of these people will come in time and perhaps we will find it, but my goal is to make sure we know everything we possibly can about all threats. Starting with this one."
She nodded at Mishi's words. "Yes it would take a long time to train an army to a level of a somewhat decent fighter. I myself started my training as Samurai at the age of three and finished around 15 years later, only then I was able to call myself a Samurai. But yes I know what you mean and I hope you have this small few in mind already to be of aid for us.”
“So tell me, what are we against? I don't know this Azys Lla but for sure we can retrieve this beast, from the fangs of the Imperials. All we have to know where it is and then we can work out a plan"
Mishi Mizuchi giggled and smiled brightly. "I do not have people in mind. Though I have a function in mind. Finding those people who can fill that function will prove a task on its own. I want to find people who are their own person. Who will not bow down to another because they are told to, but because they want to. I never again wish to see men and women cornered and corrupted by the ideals of another.
Once we are a small few." she sighed and let out a single breathy laugh. "If my reasoning is sound, we will need a scholar or two, both of Allagn and Imperial Tech and weapons. A scholar on ekons and oni. Though perhaps not right away. One or two capable of gathering information and fighting in close quarters. One or two magi, one or two healers Or a mix of both. " she paused and thought for a moment.
"I think that should do it. If we can find people who are a mix of two things, then we narrow our numbers. Something I would like to keep small. Tight knit and without the ability to be swayed by others. " she smiled with purpose and hope in her eyes. "Think we can do it?"
She nodded to Mishi “Yes I am sure we can do that, we just have to be careful and keeping it small, is probably the best way to go yes, easier to look over things. I know we can do it. Failure is something I do not accept and I will do everything possible to prevent such"
If anyone is looking for a plot based rp and is interested in being involved in a long an winding series of shanagians, you’re welcome to join in the fun. These RP going ons are not tied to any FC, location, or race. ( Though if you’re garlean expect some IC eyeballing and probably constant scrutiny).
Please be aware that we ( the small group) rp in the realm of plausible lore. Which means we are not lore strict but try to make sure that all our plots, ideas and what have you are based in lore fact and have at least two examples of lore /game content lore, to back it up. We also do not ignore anyone IC, including questionable lore. We go with it and will accept it as either something to be included or insanity.
Our plots will hopefully never break lore, but we understand that other events and plots that are found out organically and created by others, may break things. We understand that people are trying to have fun and make events that are exciting and fun. At no point will we dismantle someone’s event or ongoing plots because of ooc lore/knowledge, leading to IC breaking of story/ realm/ plausible cause. We will work with what we can take from it and leave the rest alone. We are after all, here to have fun! Not tell others what they can and can not do in their rp.
If you’re ok with all that and you would like to join in, give me a poke and we will find a way to pull you in!
