mastergraywolfI think this WILL be fun.
This is just some 10-15 minute freewriting so expect some big grammar pain.
Title: Pure Heart or "Seishin"
Reader type: Going for a potential graphic approach and will contain langage that may offend, lots of violence/gore/brutality, and maybe sexual content/violence among other things. I do like for it to be for ANYONE curious about the ninja BUT Reader discretion is advised. Generally best for those over 15 years old?
|Purpose of Fanfic Project|
Depict shinobi or ninja with a real-like image, outside ofthe overrated Masashi Kishimoto's NARUTO and common image from media, in a historical and graphic drama story. Apparently this is called Jidaigeki (時代劇) or Historical Era drama.
| Setting |
This is a fictional story starting in the historial Warring States Period (in Muromachi era) era in Japan. War is present as civil strife; territory lords, under the Ashikaga government, fight among each other to become strong.
Ninja and Shinobi apparently means "to endure" and "thievery" (Shinobi); they exisited in Japan as a community of outsiders and Chinese descendents (monks, military strategies), the latter blending their secrets to oppose conflict and the dark outlook of the old days.
Typical characters like monks, ruffians, samurai, farmers, daimyo, poets and prostitues will appear.
Lots of forests and mountains, freewheeling like but much chaos and peace. Even in war times, there are brothers and sisters to hold.
| The Ninja |
They won't refer themselves as "shinobi" or "ninja" in the story, only by out of character text. They may be referred to by various other words such as thieves, demons, shadowmen, night people, rascals, tricksters, etc; others who notice their activities may call them "shinobi (thieves)". They also won't refer themselves as genin, chuunin or jounin.
They work as farmers and monks.
Ninjutsu is not a martial art (Combat techniques) and their methods won't be described as that way. Sword style (kenjutsu), bojutsu, spear (yari) and others will be used.
The Iga and Koga are the largest and most acclaimed ninja clans. They are comprised of various families; with the "style" more refurbished than centuries ago, those leading in ninjutsu's upbring are determined by those families. (can't explain too well)
Iga family: Tsukimori, Hattori, Fujibiyashi, Momochi, Hidaga, Yamanaka (?)...
Koga Family: Kousaka, Tsuneharu, ...
Many of their last names are based on nature (ie: Tsukimori, Kousaka) or a location (ie: Iga, Momochi?), or to give them a refined identity depending on where they were found/born (Sarutobi, Tsuneharu, Fujibayashi, Hayashi, kirigakure)? Normally, those who bear a last name are nobles. I guess they were more loose about it?
Last names like Ishikawa and Tanaka are common.
| Others |
No magic. None!
There may be slight supernatural effects caused by abnormal weather or when a person dies. There are very very rare, btu there are also demons or brute monsters.
This is just some 10-15 minute freewriting so expect some big grammar pain.
