Tomeshigiri, A Merc's Tale.

[Arashi_kuriyami]

All of us, all of us were either bought or sold, stolen or giving. Only the gods remember when.
   There were thirty of us, Orphans and children.  All of us with one thing in common. We were chosen by one man, We call him the "Bone Demon". He wore a mask of leather steel and bone, completely hiding his face, except for his eyes. Those icy cold blue eyes, I will never forget as long as I live.
Time here meant next to nothing, almost impossible to tell between the beatings, sleep deprivation and murdering. Those who could not and would not fight back were killed ruthlessly. As our numbers dwindled, we got harder, stronger.
  15 of us is all that remains, Each of us strong and unique in our own ways. I'm beginning to think we were chosen, The Demon has started to give us weapons to fight him. Despite our efforts we are still not strong enough to beat him. Those that tried to run were brought back. Skinned alive to serve a warning to the rest of us, made an example of. After that day no more of us tried to run.
  Today we huddle for warmth in this stone chamber, I was chosen with one other today. The Demon brought us into another chamber. Lined with every weapon imaginable. I'm scared, Unsure of myself. He told us to kill each other. that only one of us will walk away and alive from this chamber. That if we did not kill each other he would kill us both.
  We fought for what seemed like ever. fought because our lives depended on it. My muscles burned with fatigue, I knew I was dead when he ran me throw with his sword. My legs trembled as I collapsed upon the stone floor. accepting my fate. I watched as death tugged at me, I watched the Demon pull my killer back into the chamber.
...And two more took our place.

  Hey! If  you made it this far, you must be interested in joining this story. I welcome you all who are interested in gritty tales of fantasy and adventure. Who like to be abused and challenged, to earn your right to be bad ass.
   I've decided to try and host this story, So I welcome you all. I've centered this particular one in the Kamakura Period Japan. I chose this particular period because it is open to sword and magic.
I'm looking to story tell this one, so I will not be playing in it. I'm looking for 2-4 furs who can post at least once a week. I don't think that is to much. however in the round robins of posting ( and if you guys are interested) I will try and post more often.
  I like Kristines format for characters so I will be using it for this one myself. So please include the fallowing
Name:
Con:
Str:
Wis:
Intel:
Dex:
Cha:
Group Role:
Backstory: ( a little about your character Before he joined/abducted)
I'm going to say 5 is average, 10 being a master. I will not accept anything over 7.
  Also, I'd like to know what kind of role you'd like to play in the group.
Example: Sword and shield fighter, lance man, mounted combat, support archer, magic user, healer, tactician. So on and so fourth.
Based on that, I will assign hit points per person.
    I look forward to running this one!
