Warning: The following is based off of one of my world plots. Please do not steal any ideas. I also recommend sensitive people to turn back now; Gore and violence may *cough*ofcoursewill*cough* occur.
Maidens addressed in white practice traditional dances with fans among the village square, where people gather to watch and cheer them on. Soldiers uniformed in everything from monk outfits, for the lower ranks, and samurai dressage for the high march the streets, guarding the village and training the newest recruits. Feathers mark most of their outfits, from dull underfeathers to bright arrays of them, attached to helms and cone-like hats of straw. Often, darker looking people will scourge through the streets, whirling knives threateningly, though not attacked or bothered by the guards. This is clearly one of the the Itchionian Tribe's cities, where shady people march the streets and no one cares about anything- unless, of course, someone were to disobey their codes, or attack their guards. You could see one entire peaceful village turn to a full-fledged army within one slash of a knife to a soldier's throat. And then there's the one who they have their eyes on fighting... The small town of the Waikonan Tribe that is only a mile away from their town. The streets there are barren as the Waikonan people of the town hide in their homes, the only exception is the maidens that go out to fetch water and herbs for themselves and their family, if they have. Soldiers of that town cower in their homes, unable to get orders from the main town on whether they can attack or not. The Itchionian soldiers patrol the streets, knowing they cannot kill the maidens under their laws. You could say, it is very well under the control of the cruel tribe. Perhaps the two tribes can seek peace, and carry out their normal lives. Maybe there's a way to achieve peace? The choice is yours, try to take the challenge to survive? Or be part of the overpowering tribe? What would fit /you/.
The world recreated, we merely focus on two tribes in New China. What would bring two of their own kind to this treacherous battle? Merely the fact that they are very different, and the Itchionian refuses to settle at that. The Waikonan are peaceful gatherers, and refuse war unless they must. And when their little town was attacked, they fled after the first sign of bloodshed. In to their homes, of course, as running would be honorless in their code. The strong tribe believe they are winning, feeling brave, marching the streets, keeping everything in order. However, some of course get distracted with the fair maidens of this new town. And such could lead to forbidden love, perhaps even forbidden children that could turn the faces of the war. Perhaps to unneeded killings, or perhaps to peace. Only actions will decide fate now.
Rules:
1. Don't take roleplay things seriously; If someone kills you, they aren't gonna really assassinate you, and just because your characters have a good relationship like girlfriend and boyfriend, you haven't found your future spouse. Really...
2. Keep good grammar and stay in third-person style. I will not tolerate any other style, or text-talk in character. Hard to comprehend for me. You can use as many sentences as you want, just keep good grammar and style.
3. Move any lovey-dovey chiz to PM's. You can kiss, and that stuff without running off to PM's, of course, but no lovey-dove-- oh you get it!
4. You can have two characters in each tribe and use different colors for each of them when roleplaying. Otherwise it gets confusing. You can also trade slots, like make them all Itchionian, or Waikonan, etc.
5. Wait 3 days to/for to kill someone's/your character. We don't want people dying so soon!
6. Have fun, and if you need any help, PM me!

Wearing clothes stolen from British-more lands by his father, Xia doesn't care what rules he defies. He was taught to be cruel to people out of his tribe, and such teachings led to his war-callings. However, sometimes his life brings him to search for a queen, usually making him become depressed. Even though he is quite famous among the maidens for being one of the first young rulers to brave battle face to face, he finds it hard to find a proper mistress.

Samurai
A brave samurai, his helm is marked with 5 feathers, three sunbird feathers mark the center, while two blue-bird feathers crown their sides. He has ended countless lives in honor of his Clan, and knows not of love. Ever since the slaying of his father by his very mother, he does not believe it is worth it. It would take a lot to melt his cruel heart, and it would be rare to see him show mercy. The only thing he enjoys is winning, strength, and bloodshed, though he has been warned that if he overreacts to these, he could easily be slain as a threat. Even the Itchionian feel he is too cruel for their Clan, though keep him for his great victorious paths.
-He used to have a best friend as a child, who he loved dearly, like a sister. However, he never saw her again when the war started, and it made him even more cruel.

Marching through the streets of the Waikonan tribe, Peng and his Itchionian patrol stared among the houses. "No one daring enough to come out and play?" He said with a spiteful tone, his eyes glaring at every door of every house on the main road. His patrol stopped to warily look around, unsure if they should speak. The short-tempered and cruel samurai wasn't the best to respond to. No one ever never knew what was offensive or not, and even so, the answer he was looking for might cause him to rampage. But it wasn't really possible to interfere, anyway.

A cold steel eye peered through one of the windows of his home, with a disdain ridden face at the sight of the despicable Itchionian samurai known as Peng Yin. Even the thought of the name disgusted him, for he knew that even if he was war crazed in his youth, he never allowed his old patrol to stake out around the rivaling town and mock them in the presence of their own land! "Scoundrel.." The words escaped him as she felt his grip onto the hilt of his sword but a steady hand on his shoulder soothed his rage for the moment as he turned over his shoulder to find that his only ill-born child, Hua Sek, was in his presence. In hand, she held a teapot while dressed in her placid traditional ritual gowns seeing as how she was suppose to be with the other maidens but the intervention of the bastard on the street only delayed her training. "Father, will you partake in the tea ceremony?" Ah, her words seemed like sweeten honey off of a flower from the bee's search for energy, she oddly lightened his moods at times for she had her mother's face but his curtsey.
"Just a moment, Hua," he brushed over with a cold gesture but he surely jested his brutality at her but his concern was more focused on the samurai outside than the maiden inside. The girl sighed while she glanced at the floor to see that her father's hand was holding tightly onto the hilt of the blade he possessed. Her own blade was located within the meeting room of their house but even she wasn't allowed to touch it unless she and her father were the only ones alone at home. A female with a blade was deadly literally and metaphorically, it could rip the family's reputation but also ruin hr chances of being a maiden. All the Sek family could do was watch from their front window but the daughter was by her father's side and eventually leaned in to see the "scoundrel" her father was mentioning without having to open the windows.

Pulling out one of his blades, Peng grinned bitterly as he peered around. "What a shame, you folk still hide. What honor to the code are you if you cannot defend your own city?" He mocked loudly, listening to it echo through the barren-seeming city. Resting it across his chest, he turned back to his patrol, seeing they were turning to the distant calling sound.
(http://i46BannedImageSite/2lcpdlx.jpg)(http://i48BannedImageSite/14ik75t.jpg)
Dressed in full garment of a warrior, King Xia came rushing in to town followed by his own patrol. "Sir Peng! Sir Peng! Sir Peng!" The repeated calling rang the air. The breathless king hunched over as he reached the location, he looked like a peasant.
"King Xia, what has brought you to disgrace yourself in these lands of pity?" Peng asked, peering down at the young king who tried frantically to catch his breath. "Sir Peng, you are required back at the kingdom." The breathless voice rang, but Peng held his chin up with defiance. "For what is the cause?" He asked instantly, and the king looked up at the defiant man. "A few of the wild beasts entered the city, none other. The maidens have been trying to keep them busy until help would arrive." He replied, and Peng gave a rude fit of laughter. "Let them to serve that way, if they fool around enough, they might tame them." He replied, having no care of the maidens. Astonished at the defiance of the samurai, Xia wouldn't fight. His father trained him well enough not to defy someone elder than he, even if his domain was higher. Nodding reluctantly, he balanced himself on his katana blade, trying to catch his breath. "I came here for nothing..." He muttered, ready to turn around when he peered around the barren city. "Sir Peng, let the people have some freedom, shalt they not live in fear? I expect you out of here by sundown, or I will not hesitate to have you banished." He added, walking away slowly, a slight limp in his step. Peng grinned and pulled out his other blade, crossing the two over his chest for a moment to relax before whirling around to peer at the streets. "Freedom? Who needs it. Peasants." He grumbled.

"Hua, do not get close to the window," the Adviser steadily pulled away his daughter by gripping his large hand onto her shoulder and spinning her about and away but it caused the girl to giggle, she always enjoyed being spun around. Several creases appeared on his face of sorrow, thinking of his late lover and how bright she was. Brighter than the fireflies dancing within the meadows in the night garden in which he had. He shook his head away, rubbing his forehead with a stoic expression while the grip on his daughter tighten without him noticing. "F-Father.."She winched a bit to find her shoulder was nearly being crushed but she knew it was accidental as her father never did lift his hand at her. As soon as the hand was released, she took a sharp breath of pain as she rubbed her shoulder with her head hung over. Responding to his daughter's distress, he held by his both of her arms and straighten her out to see her face and he pulled her into a hug. 'What must the Gods place hatred towards us? Towards our clan?' Hua embraced her father with a soft smile on her face and he could feel his hand twitching. It was sign of his thoughts overcoming his actions and twitching only meant it t was one of regret. She went onto the tip of her toes and pressed the long sleeve of the white maiden dress against his forehead, seeing as how it was cool. The father seemed distraught but he ran his hand throguh his daughter's hair but they never made eye contact, he was uneasy with it when placed through an emotional moment. "I'll go..for the tea ceremony," he muttered under his breath as he released the girl, bowed his head slightly as the maiden was shown this in her training, and he escorted himself towards the living room but several of the servants called him over and thus, he was sparking up a conversation with them. This left Hua to herself.
With a small huff of relief, the white-dress maiden glanced over back to the window to find that a new patrol arrived with a fully armored man arriving and speaking loudly towards the "scoundrel," and it seemed to be of that of a leader's voice. However, the armor suit itself was mismatched and surely at times out of place but she frowned to find that the samurai on the street was defying the orders of what the man presented to him. She soon heard the chiming of the bells of a door opening several houses away to find a younger boy, possibly having escaped the watchful eye of his parents, poking his head out into the street. Her face paled, thinking of the worst possible scenarios in which the child would faced. One of the similar traits in the Sek family was worry and thinking up of the worst conclusions to dilemmas. The daughter of Xioing Sek sighed, fixing the teapot that rested onto the windowsill, as she walked over towards the door and took a deep breath in. "May the Gods smile upon my path," she pressed her hands together as she opened her slide-out door but she went onto the tip of her toes to grab the bells, to prevent their ringing from echoing out. The maiden was quickly to close the door behind her and lean against it while keeping a watchful eye on the child who was wobbling in his walk out in the open and she thus place herself into action. The maiden walked over to the child, knelt down, and pressed her finger to the toddler's lip for his babbling not to be heard heard seeing as how the patrols were focused on the leader present within the village.

Brave and uncontrolled, Peng lashed the blades together to make the sharp sound of clashing metal. Spotting the two on the empty streets, he noticed one was a boy. There was no law against killing it was the first thought of the dark samurai.Turning around, it was clear to see what the samurai was thinking to Xia. "I said stop..." Xia said angrily, pulling off his helmet angrily. His dark hair hung in strands as he took a deep breath. Head held high, he refused to let this samurai terrorize the town to no limits."As if it would matter." Peng replied, beginning to walk towards the maiden and the boy.

The babbling toddler belonging to the Zhing family was biting on Hua Sek's finger and clapping his hands in approval as Hua couldn't help but smile at the young toddler's content. She calmly stood up and shushed off the toddler back into the opened door and closed it. The distant footsteps within the house seemed startled as the praises to the God above was heard for their son wasn't slain. However, as she took several steps back, she heard the clopping of a horse approaching and dear, it was close. As she turned, several of her auburn hairs fell over her face to find herself peering at the armor of the incoming samurai who had his blades out.

"What might you be doing out here?" Peng asked bitterly as he walked forward, swords out at his sides threateningly. Though he was not allowed to kill her by law, he was quite a threatening person.Seeing Peng walking towards the maiden, Xia was furious with him. "For the sake of YinYang, I will not say this again." His angered voice rang as the young king grabbed Peng from behind.

Seeing the figure comnig forth wit a threatening tone and a bitter posture with each step he took, the maiden glanced up with a stoic expression. Neither seemed frightened or aggressive for the fact he approached her but all she did was politely bowed her head, knowing he father wouldn't want bloodshed to fall onto their family name. "Morrow to you as well, lord. As duties of the maidens read, children are in priority of protection from us." With her brown eyes glancing over to the other trespasser of the village but she politely bowed her head as well gratitude with her hand gestures seeing as how the incoming and wielded samurai had his attention on the other man.

Pulling Peng back, the maddened king was not going to back down. Whipping around, Peng stared at the king with a huff. Rolling his eyes, he broke free from the young lord's grip and began to walk back to his patrol, ordering them to start the march home. Giving a sigh of relief, Xia began to walk away slowly, the light limp of exhaustion still clinging to his step.

"Thank you," her voice was under her breath as she gratefully bowed her head but the limb alerted her of something wrong with the leaving man. She sighed softly while she slipped her arm into one of her sleeves and plucked off a hidden flower she had there as she mimicked a bird's call with her whistle as she took a short step behind the man. "Here, for this will energize." Hua kept her eyes cast downwards as she must've thanked the man somehow and thus, this was possibly the way. "I believe there would be a cane somewhere.."
-
(http://i46BannedImageSite/2lcpdlx.jpg)(http://i48BannedImageSite/14ik75t.jpg)
Xia turned around, looking at the maiden with confusion. It wasn't often that a maiden of this tribe would run to the leader of what caused their troubles. In fact, it was almost never that it occurred, but Xia guessed it was an exception, though he didn't know how to react. Instead, he stood there with an almost blank expression.

"I see that plants may not be into your taste," the maiden was a nervous smile on with her eyelids closed, completely unaware of the person before her. Yes, she had heard of stories of the Mang dynasty and their young king, but never has she seen him in person or better yet heard a clear description of him besides the usual dreaming, enchanting, and a heart breaker. The maiden released a small puff of air as she noted the staff in front of her house, rarely used by her father and he already had gotten a new one. She darted over to the front of her house, grabbed the cane, and retreated back with her hair up in a mess but it didn't bother her. "Here, if physical objects assist your limb."
-
(http://i46BannedImageSite/2lcpdlx.jpg)(http://i48BannedImageSite/14ik75t.jpg)
Xia couldn't help but smile at the young maiden of the other tribe that actually wished to assist him. Gratefully, he took the staff with a "Thank you" as he kept his eyes peering at her. Leaning on the staff with one side, he used his opposite arm to reach out and brush the maiden's hair back down. Still smiling, he seemed a bit dazed. Wonderful. The cruelest tribe's king had become moontitched by an enemy tribe's maiden.

Hua seemed surprise at the response of gratitude for her assistance as most would frown upon her or keep the blank expression he had earlier when she had confronted them. The maiden nodded her head softly in response for the man's thanking but she noted that he kept full eye contact. Not many men of lower ranks ever did keep their eye contact in check but this surely meant he was a higher or so, possibly a samurai! She closed her eyes instinctively as the hand went to touch her head, fearing the worse may happen as even smiles can lie of a person's intent but seeing that he was fixing her head, she slowly opened her eyes. "O-Oh my. Thank you."
She wiggled her nose to find that one of her hairs fell over her nose as she pressed her sleeves together and made a soft sneezing noise. She glanced upwards at the man with a nervous expression, "Sorry for that. However, I believe your patrol is awaiting for your return." Hearing the distant hooves of horses pacing in circles, she peered slightly to the side to find flabbergasted soldiers. She had no clue why.
[[Moontitched? xD]]

[[Moontitched, it's a term used to mean blinded by love, like that. xD]]
(http://i46BannedImageSite/2lcpdlx.jpg)(http://i48BannedImageSite/14ik75t.jpg)
Turning around, he had almost forgotten about the soldiers, seeing how confused and anxious they were to leave. "One moment, please..." He murmured as he peeked back over at the maiden, walking over to them, using the cane for support. Using his free hand to salute them, he spoke. "Return to the Itchionian Dynasty, I will be fine." He said to them, and they all exchanged confused looks. "But Lord Xia, is that safe?" One of them asked, only to receive a nod and a look of impatience. The patrol nodded reluctantly and began to ride away, leaving just him and his horse Shen. (http://i47BannedImageSite/208dy0y.jpg)
Patting the horse's muzzle to command it to stay, it snorted with agreement. He quickly turned back to return to the maiden, smiling once more.

The name rung in her ears as she glanced down towards the floor or several moments, taking in who she just helped and remembering yet again what clan he was in and what (and the only) relative that despised the clan greatly more than the stain upon his family name. The name itself was familiar but never were samurais or lords responded by their first names and she couldn't place why it was. She should've thought it throguh but yet again, even her father would've help a man who helped him. A monkey scratches the back of the monkey that groomed it first.
However, the maiden bowed her head again with a smile, unsure whether or not to leave the premise but she'll still say her goodbyes as it was necessary. "I thank you yet again for that distant Lord of the Itchionian clan." She folded her hands in front of her with her eyes closed but a smile present on her face.

[[Haha, I guess google doesn't talk southern, because that's a southern-more term x3]]

"Oh, but it is I who should thank you." Xia relied, a bit dazed as he gazed at the maiden with a smile. It was impossible for him to gather his thoughts, they were all mixed up. Like as to how he could fall in love to this maiden of the enemy clan from seeing her once. Absolutely a wonderful thing to happen. Just wonderful. "I believe you should get back to your home now..." He added, but reached in to a storing section of his vestment, pulling out a small locket of silver engraved with ancient Itchionian symbols. "Take this." He said, passing down the locket which once was his father's gift to his mother, who gave it to him. His smile stayed to his as he began to back up.

[[ That's interesting ^^. And pfff, those comments regarding Xia's infatuation. It made me laugh xD! ]]

Her face completely went pink at his comment, this was seemingly odd for her as she never expected that for someone. Especially at the fact that she wasn't aware that the man before her was lovestruck heavily towards anyone but her, a feeling that was new and would be refreshing if she returned the same emotion (but it will over time..) "I should be returning to my post," she agreed towards her statement but she watched with curious eyes to see him shuffling throguh his vest to pull out a small trinket. She nodded her head accepting the locket but knowing that she couldn't wear it for it'll draw too much attention. It had the symbol of the enemy clan but she'll appreciate it if she placed it up in her room. "I thank you yet again, this is surely much. I will appreciate it in private to prevent..wandering eyes." She hoped that the last comment would still show her appreciation of the gift and of its beauty. "How gorgeous," she muttered under her breath as she looked down at he hand.
Hua glanced upwards towards the man backing away but her face had a permanent blush on as she returned a smile but her eyes were opened, a truly sincere smile. However, she turned slowly and walked towards her house but occasionally glanced over her shoulder to see the man.

Seeing her glance back, Xia took it as an opportunity to wave goodbye, before he finally turned around, his cheeks lightly blushed at last. Walking back to his horse, he quickly mounted and heaved his heel in to its side. The horse whinnied and reared up majestically, before galloping away. Xia watched the scenery of the village buzz by and away, until finally he was out of the town. His thoughts fluttered with the thought of the maiden, though he knew he could not speak of it to anyone. He was a king, a Lord. He could do anything he wanted! But even so, it wouldn't be proper to say of it. It was an enemy maiden, afterall...

Seeing the cast of blush upon the samurai's face, a soft note escaped her somewhat of a humming nose as she entered the house but found to her surprise, that her father was moved towards the back garden of the house and thus gave her time to place away the locket. She dashe4d over to her room and placed the trinket into a cabinet next to her futon as she sighed as she sat onto the bed but she opened it and looked at it again with amusement in eyes. Hua, however, closed the cabinet and darted over to the windowsill seeing as how she left the teapot there.
Her hands grabbed it delicately as she rushed over towards the tea room and settled it down as she sat herself down onto her knees and awaited for her fathers' return. Still, the thought of the kind lord floated in the back of her mind.

Sitting at the low-jade table of the living room, peering over at the crackling fireplace. Xia thought of the maiden back in the other village. Dazed, he rose from his place and swaggered out the palace door, his eyes affixed on the bustling town. Walking over to where his horse rested, he quickly mounted, and drove off in to an alley. Unseen, the king slipped out of the village with his horse, addressed in his usual attire stolen from the British. Shen thundered in the enemy town, huffing breathlessly as it slowed to a stride at the gate. Xia looked around the barren city, focusing on every sound, certain it would be safe here to visit.

"Lord (Insert last name of clan's leader here), there is needed protection in the front," the head of the Sek family spoke as she walked at the side of the village's patron that was noble, wise, and yet at times naive in which the actions he took for the village. Vital decisions were usually missed and placed the whole clan within mishap and troubled times such as the Itchionian's occupation near or sometimes into their village. The back of his mind was wandering to the thought of his daughter, Hua, and noted how she wasn't present at the tea room when he checked in to see if she was still waiting for him while speaking to the servants. She was possibly in her room and praying. Possibly. The adviser stroked the head of the horse that he had as the village was alive after the daily patrol had left and thus, they were able to resume living their normal lives and completed everyday rituals. The horse, a caramel colored one, neighed softly as its ears flickered as he trotted right beside the lord's stead but his eyes glanced about the crowds and noted the traditional uniform in which every villager wore. Similar to that of his late lover at times but never identical seeing as how how Hua ironically did and even placed flowers in her hair when in training.. Too much similarities.
His gaze went over to the sample temple in which he caught eye of his daughter and his horse whined loudly, wishing to continue moving forward. The distant calls of the Lord made him remain his thoughts as he softly hit the horse on the side to resume trotting.
The maiden was standing near the cracked bell present within the opened temple as she was finally in her training session with her hair braided into two separate braids but were combined into one with several flowers placed into her hair but it looked rather homely compared to the others maidens around with her. With her hand lightly pressing a damped and steamed towel against the bell, she began to daily cleansing of the bell in order to keep the spirits present in the scared grounds pleased for they wee honored with a clean environment. As several of the maidens chattered about, one of them called Hua over with a rather odd smirk on her face. The bastard child turned over her shoulder with a shy smile as she softly spoke, "S-sorry, I'm on duty." Several mocking laughs could be heard on the courtyard but the maiden would only resume polishing the bell while pressing herself against it, making sure no stain was left and that any birds that decided to decorate it will not have their markings on either.

Realizing how alive the town actually was, Xia knew he had to do what he always did. Despite he had to find the maiden, he also had to keep a reputation. Pulling on the horse's reins so that it would rear on command, Xia held on tight. The loud clop as the horse returned proper balance slicked the air. A threatening glare cast from both him and his warhorse would glance to everyone around him as the horse clopped mightily in to the village. He wasn't going to speak the warning, instead, he'd let the stance of it warn them.

There was silence within the village, what was gone about? Has the rivaling clan finally made their abrupt presence and decided to vanquish their lives? The adviser glanced upward with a stoic expression as he tighten his grip on the reigns as the horse silenced its whining. Xioing Sek had noted the appearance of the boy king, Xia Mang, had come unannounced and his arrival only caused several of the villagers to flee to their homes as their own leader backed away on horseback and allowed the adviser to take his place, not wanting to confront Xia. Remaining silent, he glazed over towards the temple but seeing as how it was far past him, he couldn't see his daughter. His face already covered with worry, the man gritted his teeth.
The maiden, Hua Sek, was still keeping herself busy while polishing the bell that was to toll when the the sun sets but she heard the flocking of several older maidens towards the gate. She glanced over her shoulder to hear the excited whispers of the other females that gave her no insight as to what was going on. Some of the younger maidens in training, eight or nine, showed fear on their faces and spoke of the "evil king," that was walking throguh town. She sighed softly, placed down the towel next to the almost shining bell, and went over to the three girls with ridiculously odd hairstyles of the era. She placed her arms around the two of them with one being near her chest as she rolled them up into a hug.
"Come now, let's see the flowers.." Her voice trailed off as all three of the girls pushed her arms out of the way and darted towards the flower garden in the back of the temple. She softly adjusted the flowers in her braid, with her back faced towards the entrance of the temple. She was beginning to move onto the stone path that led to the garden.

Xia stared at the adviser, digging his foot in to his steed's side so it would trot forward. Gritting his teeth, he knew not how he would find that lovely maiden, with all the 'security' this town was keeping. But suddenly, an idea stirred up in his mind. "You shalt gather all the maidens, one I shall take prisoner. Fail to do so, and I will send my army to destroy everyone one of your soldiers." He said abruptly to the adviser, glancing past the man to the lord of the enemy tribe. He felt he cold not fail this way, but there would be a lot of explanations to deliver.
