After Japan opened up to the West following U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry's visits in 1853, its political situation gradually became more and more chaotic. The country was divided along various lines of political opinion; one of these schools of thought (which had existed prior to Perry's arrival) was sonn� j�i: "Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians." Loyalists to the emperor began to commit acts of murder and violence in Kyoto, the imperial capital. In 1863, hoping to respond to this trend, the Tokugawa Shogunate formed the Roshigumi (浪士組), a group of 234 masterless samurai (r�nin), under the nominal command of the hatamoto Matsudaira Tadatoshi and the actual leadership of Kiyokawa Hachir� (a dynamic ronin from Shonai Domain). The group's formal mission was to act as the protectors of Tokugawa Iemochi, the 14th shogun, who was preparing to embark on a trip to Kyoto.

This RP shall only be started if we have four or more members to avoid confusion. If this Roleplay fails to meet the requirement it shall be forgotten.

Thanks for your time!

This is like the Jade Empire rp only more realistic. Pretty interesting plot though. Crap, joining two role-plays causes me to lose interest =/

Well I don't know what you mean since I've been in multiple RPs and never lost interest.. but hopefully this will turn out good, because I had planned this role play for a while now. Feel free to join

I'd like to know more about where the plot is heading, though I am interested.

I plan for it to follow the Shinsengumi's history but with us tagged along making a change in history.

bump.

scriptless i hope you can forguive me for being such a dick.
im interested really i am but i would like to know the time this is taking place in and a little more about whats going on in japan.

I would like to but it looks as if people are not really interested, when more people are I'll tell you more. Unfortunately this community hates me so we will see what happens then. Kisuke I was being rude to you too, so I'm sorry. I hope more people will be interested soon.

i hope that they are scriptless i'm sure that we can both turn over a new leaf. People don't hate you here.

Nope, they do. >_>
