Yoshimitzu is one of the two apprentices of Gorobei... and a playboy! A good swordsman even if brash and impulsive. He initially dislike the Pcs because he's sure that he's better than them but if they show him that they are real heroes, they'll gain an ally. Yoshimitzu has good capabilities but he's too self-centered and focused on "playing the hero" than being a real hero, anyway he's young and Gorobei hopes to transform this promising young warrior into a defender of Padavis (or even in his successor). Many girls hope to marry him someday but he obviously isn't interested in long-lasting relationships!

Aiko

Code of Conduct -2 (will not fight unarmed or surprised opponents)

Jittery -1
Pacifist -1
Pariah -2 (Bandit Kings organization)
Poor -1
Special Weakness (no right arm) -2
Shy -2
Stubborn -2

Special moves: Rain of Blades (decreased damage, rapid strikes) a flurry of blades that leaves the target full of little cuts
Cross Slash (decreased damage, multiple targets) a rapid assault that targets two nearby opponents

Aiko is the sister of the second Bandit King, Saekin. Their father was a well-known warrior and a hero, and she has his same sense of justice unlike her violent brother. They both had to live in poverty but while Saekin became a violent bandit, she became instead a shy but kind and gentle person. At first she fough beside her brothers because she hoped he really was doing a good thing, but soon she saw how ruthless he and his "friends" were. Not rebels but just greedy bandits. So after a terrible fight with her brother, she fled escaping from the bandit camp (this is when she lost her right arm, fighting many bandits) and became the second apprentice of Gorobei and a defender of Padavis. She is also a good friend of Kirin.

Nishi is a healer, Yoshimitzu's best buddy and was a playboy too. But unlike his friend he has found a girl he loves, Kaori, the daughter of the blacksmith of Padavis. She loves him too but her family don't like Nishi and Yoshimitzu at all, so their relationship is a bit complicated, and Nishi has still some troubles with other girls that know this and want to marry him... Unlike Yoshi, Nishi is a peaceful fun loving person that loves dancing and parties, and doesn't like fighting (and the whole "hero-thing") at all.

Ghost-10 [opponent/servant of the Gods]

Servitude (the Gods) -3

Ghost-10 is what is left of Yukio, father of Saekin and Aiko. He fought the Soldiers of the Gods in the first war besides many other swordsmen, like Yoshimitzu's father, but the Gods lost their battle only thanks to the betrayal and sabotages made by Gorobei. Everyone believed Yukio dead after his body was found, but this wasn't the truth. The Gods experimented their ability to drain the earth of his lifeforce with a human subject... and then they captured Yukio's soul. Later they tried to use the spirit of the powerful warrior on a robotic body, to create a new weapon, so Ghost-10 was born. He doesn't remember anything of his past, neither his amazing combat techniques but the Gods hope to unlock these memories soon. But what if he'll remember also his past life as Yokio and what they did to him?


PS: as you see he's amnesiac exactly like the Pcs... this is a hint about why they were kidnapped and they lost their memories...

Miko is Saekin's bodyguard and lover. She is a cold woman, the one who nearly killed Aiko when she fled from the bandit camp. Despite her violent behaviour she deeply cares for Saekin, that probably is just using her...

I'll soon start a new campaign since my friends want a modern setting... we played fantasy rpgs for ages after all!
So probably the new game will be a story about the mafia, a mix between the videogame serie "Grand Theft Auto" and the manga "Dogs" (Shiro Miwa)
Here's the first character:

David “Dollar Dave” McCallister

Image

Weapon +2 (“Midas”, golden revolver)
Charisma +1
Combat Skill +1
Defense +2
Hobby (revolver) +3
Hobby (driving cars especially old ones) +1
Filthy Rich +1
Perceptive +1
Vitality +1
Special Move (revolver mastery) +1
Willpower +2

Code of Conduct (typical old mafia code: never betray friends, never kill women or children, never lie) -2
Ageism -1
Focus (Midas for Power Move) -1
Guardian (Don Vito's son) -2
Fussy -2
Wanted -1 (police)

Moves
Precise Shot: Slow x1, Extra Accuracy x2 [-10]

Fannin' the Hammer : Inaccurate x2, Multiple Targets x1 [-10]
ORInaccurate x2, Rapid Strikes x1 [-10]


Dollar Dave, better known as "Uncle Dave", is the oldest of the group. He was recruited by his old friend Don Vito "the saint king" Santini to be his son's (Anthony "the prince" Santini, another Pg) bodyguard. David owns a bar and he wish a quieter life anyway his enemies and the police will never left him, since he was a master killer and gunslinger during the '80s. Now his skill is only a shadow of his past (Dollar Dave was his nickname since they say he was able to hit a dollar thrown towards him... but nobody really knows if it's really happened or if it's a legend) but being a mafia enforcer he cannot quit his job.

Soft Spot -1 (shopping)

Special Weakness -1 (Greedy)

Ok here's the second Pg. She is an... let's say escort, she had an affair with a politician that led to a scandal... and now she is using her "talents" to work in the crime world, a new place for her.
Anyway it's still a world full of opportunities, and well, she's really greedy, no matter the risks she has to take.

Ageism -1 (and looks younger than she really is)
Coward -1
Crybaby -1
Special Weakness-2 (perverted killing maniac)
Short Temper -2
Strange Personal Habit -1 (always wears in a sweet lolita fashion)

Scarlet is a Png of the same game of David and Vicky. She's the leader of the gang called "Brutal Bad Boys", a group of psychotic teenagers... in short she is the female version of Alex DeLarge from Kubrick's movie Clockwork Orange. Nobody really knows how old is she or where is her family (if her parents are still alive!) because she never speaks about he past. The typical member of the gang is a bully armed with a switchblade knife or a short chain.
It's quite obvious that probably Scarlet and her gang won't last for long... they're no professional criminals.

Tommy Wong Shu is an experienced assassin of the Triad. Normally a quiet and reserved man, he still works for the Black Lotus, targeting especially members of the Mafia group. He usually works alone but he often hires other men to act as a distraction, especially when the target has some kind of bodyguards or friends around him.

Eyren the half-dragon

Combat Skill +3
Defense +2
Hobby: Survival (woodland) +2
Intimidate +2
Tough +1
Transformation +3

Arrogant -1
Bad Reputation -2
Bizarre Appearance -1 (mark of the dragon on the forehead)
Impulsive -1
Obsessions -2 (find others of his race)

When transformed: (he can stay in dragon form as long as he isn't severely wounded, and hasn't lost more than half his Health OR if he is wounded/poisoned with some sort of special arcane weapon/item)

Armor +3
Flight +3
Strong +3
Power Move +2 (firebreath - ranged, fire affinity)
Bizarre Appearance -3 (dragon)
Size-2

This is a character created for an adventure I'll problably run someday. All player characters are half-dragons, they look exactly like men and women but they have the ability to turn into dragons. The problem is that many people hunt them (Dragonhunters) even if their race saved humanity against a demonic invasion years before... the Emperor saw their destructive powers and he feared they would have later turned against their human allies, so when the demons were almost defeated and the half-dragons were weakened by the long struggle, he declared them outlaws saying they tried to kill him in order to rule on his lands. Then every king feared to lose his possession, and sent his army to kill every half-dragon.
Today they are almost extinct, anyway some people know that if the demons will return, only the half-dragons will be able to fight them...

Eyren is a vagabond, one of the dying race of the half dragons. Like every half dragon he has a symbol tattoed on his forehead, a rune that indicates his family (his rune is the rune of the ancient red dragon, and means "Fire").

Daijiro, the White General

Hobby: Imperial Sword Style +4
Armor +1
Beauty +2
Defense +2
Combat Skill +1
Quick +2
Sp. Ability (Famous) +2
Weapon (Onyx Blade, unbreakable, armor piercing x2) +3

Airhead -1
Absent Minded -1
Code of Conduct -1 (honorable knight)
Hatred -2 (half-dragons)
Girl Magnet -2
Fussy -1
Servitude -2 (to the Empire and the Emperess)

Daijiro was an orphan adopted by the Emperor after his village was destroyed by a small army of dragons and half-dragons. The Emperor was travelling when he found that only Daijiro survived the attack, so the young boy was raised as a Knight, and he became one of the best dragonhunters. Now that true dragons are extinct (or so they says, maybe one or two are still alive) he hunts half-dragons with his soldiers, the white army. He is admired by everyone, especially teenagers and girls, and he's considered the "golden boy" of the empire. He serves the Emperess and he's happy with his life because he would like to avenge his relatives slaying every half-dragon. But... what if he discover that the old Emperor declared the dragons enemies of humanity fearing the loss of his title? And what if he discover that weren't really dragons the creatures that destroyed his village?

Ageism -1
Pacifist -1
Code of Conduct -1 (honorable knight)
Secret -2 (sometimes helps half-dragons)
Emotionless -1
Servitude -2 (to the Empire and the Emperess)

Kaemon is a friend of the old Emperor. He fought the demons in the past then the dragons, anyway he's not sure that hunting the dragons was the right thing to do, but, well orders were orders. He saw that not every dragon was evil and he even helped some half dragons avoiding the empire army even if he still hunts relentlessy those who attacks the villages of the empire. He's an old warrior but also a man of peace, despite his experience he has killed fewer half-dragons than Daijiro. He commands the black army.

Takao, the Blue General

Image

Hobby: Imperial Sword Style +2
Cute +1

Athletic +2
Weapon (Silver Star, unbreakable, armor piercing x1) +2

Ageism -1 (young)
Pacifist -1
Naive -1
Code of Conduct -1 (honorable knight)
Servitude -2 (to the Empire and the Emperess)

Takao is the youngest general, and he's still in training. The former Blue General was killed while defending a village from some bandits, those leader was probably a demon... or a Half-Dragon. Daijiro, who considered the Blue General like a brother, chose personally Takao (that was his squire) as the new leader of the blue army. Takao is a good natured person, and a promising soldier.

Himika. the Red General

Vitality +2
Weapon (Phoenix Fire Staff, Ranged, fire affinity) +1

Arrogant -1
Short Temper -1
Hatred -3 (demons... and half-dragons)
Fussy -1
Servitude -2 (to the Empire and the Emperess)

Himika was the second orphan that the Emperor adopted, she was the daughter of a valorous soldier who died fighting the demons. But Himika isn't a warrior, she's a sorceress obsessed with fire, magic fire that will cleanse the world from the demons. And dragons too, since she is like some sort of inquisitor. It's really simple, she protect humanity finding dragons and demons and she kills them, she has no code of conduct or qualms that restrain her, especially since the third orphan who became the Blue General, was killed by one of these monsters.

(I've still to decide the spells she uses but surely she'll have "Barrier-Offensive" and "Illusions")

Occult Knowledge +2
Flunkies +2 (personal bodyguard)

Hatred -2 (demons)
Guardian -2 (people of the Empire)
Shy -1
Pacifist -1
Love Interest -2 (Daijiro)

Aimi is the young emperess that now rules the empire. She loves Daijiro even if she's too shy to tell him that also because she's expected to marry a nobleman, from another noble house. Aimi is a quiet but wise and charismatic girl, that really cares for the people of the Empire.

Legends of the Empire

The End of the Emperor - everyone knows that the Emperor died fighting the demons but NO ONE knows how. The gates of Hell were sealed by him and his bodyguards but he never came back, some said that he sacrificed himself, after all these wars and the death of his wife he was reduced to a grim, sad man. Others says that he challenged the demons in their own territory and he killed the Demon King. And there are also rumors that says that he was turned into a demon, but the only sure thing is that now the gates of Hell are sealed and only few demons are trapped in the world fleeing from inquisitors and knights. The hunters became hunted.

The Green General - some people says that there's another general. The Emperess and her men deny these rumors but they say that this mysterious Green General of the Green Army works undercover, not unlike a spy. Someone whispers that he is a half-dragon or maybe even a demon that serves the Empire, while others says that the Green General betrayed the empire in the past so he was cancelled by the chronicles... but which is the truth?
