The Kamida family is a family of some small noble birth. Put in power by the Emperor in the early years of the [[Kusari]] Empire to watch over [[Planet Kyushu]] and guard its rice offering qualities. Now however they have broken free from their chains of the current leadership of [[Kusari]] and strive towards their own goals. Although there have been some exceptions the Kamida all follow the pure blood line, and are always rules by the eldest descendant of the current lord.

The Kamida family is a family of some small noble prominence. Put in power by the Emperor in the early years of the [[Kusari]] Empire to watch over [[Planet Kyushu]] and guard its rice offering qualities. Following the rise of democracy within [[Kusari]] however they have broken free from their chains of the current ruling democrats of [[Kusari]] and strive towards their own goals, acting under the [[Tokui Komainu]] banner. Although there have been some exceptions the Kamida all follow the pure blood line, and are always rules by the eldest descendant of the current lord.

The Kamida Clans earliest archived history denotes their family as possessing some ties to the previous Imperial line following the hectic departure to present day [[New Tokyo]]. Work as court advisers and attendants granted the Kamida Clan prominence in the eyes of the Imperial line. Viewed as a reliable candidate, following the successful repression of several riots sourcing from southern provinces of [[New Tokyo]], Tetsu Kamida was soon short lined for the populations of recently discovered inhabitable planets. Following his sudden death on the 62 A.S. his son Shouta Kamida inherited this considerations.

On 75 [[A.S.]] the Kamida Clan, under Shouta Kamida, were granted their land holdings on the [[Planet Kyushu]]; during the Hideyoshi Imperial rule. Their orders, to utilize the large quantities of open plains discovered on [[Planet Kyushu| Kyushu’s]] surface and, on most of the clan’s cases, monitor the construction and maintenance of rice plantations across the planet’s surface.

The area of land granted to the Kamida was border to the north by the Fushi Clan, across the Eastern Sayamato River the Ókura clan, to the South the Maki Clan and to the West the Sato Clan.

[[image:Planet Kyushu2 - Smaller Image.jpg|frame|257px|‎Planet Kyushu, Kyushu]]
 
When the [[Kusari]] people first stepped out from the [[Planet New Tokyo]] many planets were colonised, and individual leaders put into position for each. Yet one man cannot control an entire planet and so to combat this, these men shared their power among lesser noble families, one of these noble families were the Kamida. During the year 108 A.S. on the Planet [[Kyushu]], in the [[Kyushu|Kyushu system]] this noble house, along with a few others, were based to watch over and guard the farmers of [[Kyushu]] - being one of the major areas for the production of rice at that time this job did hold some degree of pride.
 
 
 
 
 
As well as providing protection for the rice exports of [[Kyushu]], those of the Kamida blood line were often sent to join the [[Kusari Naval Forces|Naval forces]] early on in their life, often at the ages of Eighteen or Nineteen. Any that showed promise in the art of diplomacy or management however would in some cases be kept back to help govern their lands on [[Planet Kyushu|Kyushu]]. This 'gift' towards the [[Kusari Naval Forces|Naval Forces]] was intended too show their continued support of the Emperor and his intended conquests. It was often the case that heirs, the oldest direct descendants of the current Kamida leader, would be found within the ranks of sons who were originally sent off to join the [[Kusari Naval Forces|Naval forces]], in which case they would, in most cases, be called back in order to take control of the lands on [[Planet Kyushu|Kyushu]].
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===''Early Years'' (200 A.S. - 300 A.S.)===
 
 
 
 
 
Through marriages and alliances the Kamida managed to become a much more note able family, although still of a fairly small stature when compared too many of their rivals of that time. Through the many years that the Kusari continued to strengthen and expand little changed in this gap of power. With little other options they continued to follow the emperor and did their best to appear 'loyal' servants. While all the time counting there numbers and seeing where and when they could expand. Using a mix of deception and espionage the Kamida's managed to remain aware and involved throughout Kusari. By 348 A.S. the Kamida was overseeing the protection of over 1/5th of the overall land mass of [[Planet Kyushu|Kyushu]]. Throughout this time they had grown a good connection with the rice farmers across the planet and were settled in their well of standard living of respect and luxury.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===''Middle Years'' (300 A.S. - 400 A.S.)===
 
 
 
 
 
Most of these expansions were down to Kazuki Kamida, at the age of Twenty Eight and his 'forcible' power take over throughout many of the nearby lands. This was during the year of 334 A.S. when Kazuki came up with the idea to arm his farmers and, by paying them abnormal sums, to use them to forcibly remove other owners of the nearby lands. Although this was successful there was a large portion of lost life - most of which were the farmers used as 'wane-be' warriors. To Kazuki's misfortune officials heard of this attempted 'movement' and considered it reckless and demanded his quick dismissal from the planet. With this threat baring the family quickly reacted by singling out the twenty eight year old. Claiming that he was acting alone, the family managed to avoid a harsh punishment against them, this survival however cost the life of Kazuki - as many of the officials who had condemned him demanded that he show at least some honour in his action and on 339 A.S. Kazuki Kamida committed sepukku.
 
 
 
 
 
Often feeling unappreciated the Kamida began to lose their respect for their current rulers. Yet unable to do anything in their current state they were forced to bite their tongue and bow to the will of the Shogun.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===''Middle Years'' (400 A.S. - 500 A.S.)===
 
 
 
 
 
Throughout the next two hundred years little happened. The Kamida sat in their position on [[Planet Kyushu]] happily watching over the farmers and consolidating their wealth. This year of prosperity was governed by Itsuki Kamida, often considered this 'wisest' of all within his family. Born in the year 452 A.S, Itsuki was blessed on the [[Planet Kyushu]], with but one purpose - to redeem the name Kamida since its loss with Kazuki. Through words alone he watched and guided his people with an amazing grace. He was appointed ruler of the Kamida on 479 A.S. - at the age of twenty seven. Itsuki preached a message of unity within the Kamida lands, he hoped to create a connection between the working man and his master. Throughout his time he managed to, using his message of non-militancy within his own land, quell a total of twelve possible uprisings by the people of their lands. His most note able actions within the lands that the Kamida governed was the 'Itsuki truce' as he called it. A supposed 'well meaning' gift against the high rice taxations which the farmers often had to pay to the noble clan each harvest. Although gaining much loyalty from those who served him he failed to watch those within his court, many of whom were disgraced by his message of equality. In the year 496 A.S. Itsuki Kamida was found dead in the palace grounds. There is a number of rumours as to his death, some say that it was his own family and their fear of retribution for Itsuki's beliefs, while others say that it was his younger brother tired of waiting for the throne.
 
 
 
 
 
While his body may have died the message he bore lived on. Out in the open fields of Kyushu, under the tree of which he was named, lies a shrine built by the farmers to honour him. With one of Itsuki's famous quotes inscribed on the lower half of the stone shrine "Sow, reap, prosper".
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===''Late Years'' (500 A.S. - 600 A.S.)===
 
 
 
 
 
The year following Itsuki's equality campaign throughout his land held much anticipation for rice farmers all across [[Planet Kyushu|Kyushu]]. With the unfortunate demise of Itsuki his brother Daiki quickly took his place, in his first few years he did his best to disassemble many of the laws and changes enacted by his older brother. This was met by fierce opposition, not only with the rumour of his own involvement in his brother's death; this was considered to be by many of his family dishonourable to the memory of his brother. With this in mind Daiki found it difficult to manoeuvre in any fashion. All this time there had been a growing resentment for their current leader throughout his family and on 517 A.S. civil war broke out between Daiki and his angered family. Following their announcement Daiki locked himself, and what few loyal subject he had, within their palace down on [[Planet Kyushu]]. While this happened the rebels formed a small army of farmers in the outlying fields. When they numbered nearly a few hundred they marched back, with the intention of taking back their lands. However as they approached the palace grounds they found Daiki’s men outside its gates, bowing in respect. It quickly became apparent that he had no stomach to fight, as he was found out in the palace grounds, near the spot of his own brother's death, his body lying face down, after committing sepukku - or this is at least the story told by his men.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===''Late Years'' (600 A.S. - 700 A.S.)===
 
[[image:Kyushu_Rice_Field.JPG|frame|237px|Rice Fields on Kyushu‎]]
 
 
 
Within the year of 674 A.S. [[Samura]] took on the role, on the [[Planet Kyushu]], to organise the farmers there into a much more proficient force, over time this began to sap away the once high position of the Kamida was being undermined by the focused movement of [[Samura|Samura Industries]]. This was considered an irritant, as they had have a relatively free reign while watching over the farmers throughout the planet and this new [[Samura]] expansion was limiting their control over the planet and its farmers, however with little chance at striking against such a large organisation with ease the did their best to ignore their subtle expansion. This attempted ignorance to Samura's expansions became increasing difficult as [[Samura]] attempted to gain the rights of the lands owned by the Kamida Clan, often through bribery or in subtle threats.
 
 
 
 
 
By about 690 A.S. 'rice farming' had almost been completed replaced by the much more popular [[Synth Paste|Synth Paste]]. With this transition meant the loss of many farmers, and the sudden reduction in the value of the Planet Kyushu. This resulted in the demoralisation of many members of the Kamida family. Since with this change meant the loss of their once prestiges position. Even with the small portion of farmers who still remained on the planet there were two few to attempt to contain any degree of pride.
 
 
 
 
 
Although not directly the Kamida silently supported the [[Farmers Alliance]], feeling almost cheated by this new invention, [[Synth Paste|Synth Paste]], which had robbed their family of their much favoured and regarded position. This carried forth a subtle resentment of [[Liberty]] who has in many ways introduced it, and continued to export it, to the [[Kusari|Kusari systems]].
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===''Late Years'' (700 A.S. - 800 A.S.)===
 
 
 
 
 
As the years went on the Kamidas became more and more determined to rid the [[Liberty|Libertonian]] influences in [[Kusari]]. This determination quickly turned to caution however as war began to ravage the whole of Sirus. Rumours of the order and alien influences spread throughout [[Kusari]]. With this news the Kamidas became ever vigilant of the threat which exterior influences could offer to [[Kusari]]. Although this did tie in with similar claims preached by the [[Farmers Alliance|Farmer's Alliance]] the Kamida were hesitant to involve themselves with any movement of theirs, since reports had indicated that the 'movement' had quickly turned to a group of vigilantes under the service of [[Samura]]. With this in mind they continued to watch those ships importing and exporting good to, and from, [[Kusari]] - watching, and waiting.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===''Current Years'' (800 A.S. - 819 A.S.)===
 
 
 
 
 
'''The Emperors Disappearance'''
 
 
 
 
 
When the Emperor disappeared from [[Kusari]], cut off in Bretonia, the Kamida realised it was there time to rise, combining with a few smaller noble families throughout Kusari and began to consider how best to utilise this opportunity.
 
 
 
 
 
Many of the sons sent to join the [[Kusari Naval Forces|Naval Forces]] have been trapped with the Emperor in [[Bretonia]], presenting a dilemma of succession. Since the current eldest cannot be found and brought back encase of the death of their current leader, Hibiki desided that the only son who was still unattached from the [[Kusari Naval Forces|Kusari Naval forces]], Kaito Kamida, should remain within [[Kusari]] and act as the personal aid for his father and act as his next heir encase of his death. Only aged sixteen there have been concerns regarding the boy’s ability for the position however nothing has been expressed openly against Hibiki's wishes. In order to aid and protect the heir while in the service of his father, Hibiki gave one of his nephews, Yukio Kamida - aged twenty four, the duty of protecting and guiding the decisions of his son.
 
[[image:‎KusariBS-Bret-small.JPG‎|frame|237px|Kusari Battleship trapped in Bretonia]]
 
 
 
There is only one other member who was not caught out in Bretonia and of an older age than Kaito. The member in question was however banished from Kusari, by his father Hibiki, after a lengthy row about his 'true love' that he considered a [[Liberty|libertonian]] girl to be. After escaping to [[Liberty]], to follow his love, his father’s opinion of him has not improved. On pain of death of returning, to Kusari, it would be unlikely that he could fulfil the role.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Current Day'''
 
 
 
 
 
With these opportunities presenting themselves the Kamida are preparing for a final decision, to stay or to stand. Standing with only a portion, to a round number of thirty, of pilots loyal enough to stand with them should they choose to separate.  With this small number they are aware that they would have to band together with a much larger organisation of a similar goal, or simply pray and go with the winds.
 
 
 
 
 
These considerations have been pushed forward, and emphasized to a greater extent, with the recent change of government - to a democracy. With the way things are currently going it is only a matter of time before [[Samura]] make an attempt on their lands on [[Planet Kyushu|Kyushu]]. The Kamida also only ever swore their swords to the Emperor and never agreed to follow any corrupt business organisations. Finding this exploit in their agreement made hundreds of years ago there is little else holding them back to the current regime.
 
 
 
 
 
Although technically under the leadership of Hibiki many of the plans are being though through and carried out by his sons and brothers, due to an unfortunate turn of bad health from childhood and even through this bad health has greatly diminished over the years he is stilled held in harsh confinement within their palace on [[Planet Kyushu]], where he is rarely seen by those outside of his family.
 
 
 
 
 
Lately a large portion of their family has been remaining in their palace on [[Planet Kyushu]]. What activities they have been doing while done there is unknown as security is tight. However rumours suggest that there meeting was a sudden one and that it is likely to be one of urgent action for them and they're followers.

=== '''Shouta Kamida''' - The First Lord of the Kamida, ruled from 108-172 A.S. (Died Age: 87) ===
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
'''''Brief Description:'''''
 
 
 
 
 
Born in 85 A.S. Shouta was the eldest of two. Contrasting to his younger brother who was a little light headed Shouta was a kind, but cautious, child. A boy with a deep thirst for knowledge Shouta was often seen to be found in the libraries of New Tokyo in his younger years. At the age of only twenty one he succeeded his father who died as the result of food poisoning at their Villa in New Tokyo. His years in New Tokyo however were short lived since he received a message by the current Emperor, late in the year 108 A.S. of that time informing him that he was to be offered a portion of one of the newly colonised worlds, to watch over it as its lord. This was an opportunity too good to miss and Shouta grabbed it with both arms. Although he was officially the lord of a segment of land on 'Planet Kyushu' he did not actually take up the position physically until 110 A.S. This was because of delays with the new crafts which were to ferry people across the great depths of space - not to mention the variety of paper work and legal issues which needed to be covered before he could even leave to make his way too the planet.
 
 
 
Once down upon the planet Shouta served as the first Kamida lord of Kyushu for 72 years. He was considered a kind - if somewhat eccentric leader. While in the position of Lord Shouta was announced the father of four children, three sons and one daughter. He listened to his subject and kept an eagles watch on those who surrounded him. Ever the wise man, Shouta, (at the age of 40) had great concerns about his children and how they would fare when they succeeded him. In order to put his worries to ease he formed the 'Advisory Council' this would, he hoped, allow his sons to be given knowledge on areas which perhaps they were not familiar. It would also allow those that he trusted among his courts to watch over them in his stead while we was gone.
 
 
 
Shouta's end came for him as he expected forty seven years later. In his last few hours he called in each of his family in turn and talked with them. He told them how much he valued them and how much they still had to achieve. Lastly he called in his six sons one at a time, to each he imparted one piece of wisdom each one different from the last.

'''''Brief Description:'''''
 
  
  
Born on 306 A.S. Kazuki was a ordinary child who held great respect and value in his clan. One of four, he was the second oldest in his family. During the late 321 A.S. Kazuki and his family were out on a trip through one of the woods which cover Kyushu Kazuki's brother was bitten by a poisonous snake and died only a few hours later. This event changed Kazuki's view on the world harshly. From a once innocent mind set to one of hatred. When his father passed away in 331 A.S. Kazuki was ill-equipped to take on the roles and responsibilities that being a lord had too offer. His hatred to the outside world was altered and shaped by many of the prominent figures in the Kamida court who hoped to expand the family's influence. Using him as their puppet Kazuki began a war against many of the other lords on Kyushu.
 
  
When this ultimately came crashing down Kazuki was used as a scapegoat, and true to his honour on 339 A.S. he committed sepukku.

Enacted the following law(s):
 
 
 
 
 
Blade of the Grain (334 - 483 A.S.)
 
 
 
 
 
Under this law farmers could be drafted into the Kamida military in order to aid in conflicts. On occasion farmers would be paid large amounts of money and be hired, however this law does not require payment, merely the lord's will ----> This law was abolished by Itsuki in 483 A.S. in favour of farmer 'freedom of choice'.
 
 
 
=== '''Itsuki Kamida''' - The Lord of the Kamida from 479-496 A.S.  (Died Age: 44) ===
 
 
 
 
 
'''''Brief Description:'''''
 
 
 
 
 
Born in 452 A.S. Itsuki was very possibly one of the most memorable members of the Kamida family. A child of three Itsuki displayed the gift of respect, no matter how high or low, big or small, rich or poor. His brother Daiki, often displaying a length jealousy towards his brother Itsuki who was often considered the 'favoured' child. Their sister, Hotaru, often seen as the shyest of the three was often rarely seen in the palace as she enjoyed the beauty of the outdoors much more than the security of the palace grounds. Itsuki's father cared from all three of them deeply, however held a special place in his heart for Itsuki. Being the oldest and most likely to succeed him this was not unheard of. It was in his early years that his sympathy for the equality began to present itself. Against many peoples judgements his father encouraged him, and did all he could to let him son see the outside world for what it was. As time progressed however these trips became less and less frequent as Itsuki's father became older, and so was confined to his bed many hours of the day. To Itsuki's great sadness during the early months of 479 A.S., while Itsuki was out on a trip to the rice farmers on Kyushu, he was told by a messenger that his father had been found dead in palace. Supposedly while travelling with the aid of some servants up the stairs to his bed chamber he collapsed.
 
 
 
 
 
On the same year (479 A.S.) Itsuki was appointed lord of the Kamida. It was here that he put his plans of equality into place and did his best to achieve equality for farmers across Kyushu. These good intentions were continued up until 496 A.S. where he was found dead on the Palace grounds. It is said that during his funeral his sister fainted during the ceremony after a long hour of depression leading up to the funeral.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Enacted the following law(s):
 
 
 
 
 
Itsuki's Truce (489 A.S. - Current date)
 
 
 
 
Rice farmers under the control of the Kamida may only be taxed 45% of their rice output. In opposed to the original sum (Prior to 489 A.S.) in which the rice tax was 85% of a separate farms rice output.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Farmer's Councel (492 A.S. - Current Date)
 
 
 
 
At the end of each month, in accordance with the planets seasons, an appointed representative for the farming community under the command of the Kamida family must attend a counsel with the current leading member of the planet in question. This counsel, with the farmers, will discuss issues which the farming community may wish to raise. ----> This law is only enforce is 40% or more of the planets lands mass is covered with farming land.

=== '''Daiki Kamida''' - The Lord of the Kamida from 496-518 A.S. (Died Age: 39) ===
 
 
 
 
 
''''Brief Description:'''
 
 
 
 
 
Born in 479 A.S. Daiki was the younger brother of two siblings. Always following in the shadow of his father's favourite 'Itsuki' - his brother. Throughout his childhood Daiki held a resentment for his brother and despised him in almost every way. Feeling helpless with his father 'worshipping' his brother Daiki felt helpless against his brother or father. However in his teens years that his brother Itsuki began to display an interest in 'equality' - this delusion was not helped by father who only aided in his brothers belief. It was because of his jealousy that Daiki made it his goal to do what he could to disrupt his brothers dream. Openly mocking his brother at court, doing what he could to gain support for some of his distant relatives of the blood line.
 
 
 
 
 
These insults continued until, on 479 A.S., his father was announced dead - and following this his brother took the position of 'lord'. This was as much of an insult as a limitation, his mocking of his brother lessened dramatically after his ascension to the seat of lord. His silence was largely because of his fear that Itsuki would silence his views and very possibly have him killed - although he knew within himself that Itsuki did not have the heart to murder anyone, yet the fear still lingered. So in place of his original mocking he simply sulked. Two years following his brother ascension to the seat of lord, 481 A.S. Daiki married and a year after that, 482 A.S., was pronounced the father of his first son. His anger and resentment began to die down as he focused more on his own family and his wife. He cared for his wife and children deeply, and was comforted in their company - rarely seen in the advisory council, or courts any more. This all changed however on the night of 496 A.S.. On this date his older brother Itsuki had been found dead on the palace grounds after a fight with an assailant. Considering his past record many blamed Daiki, even a few witnesses said they saw him wandering about the palace grounds with his sword. According to Daiki he was awoken from his slumber by the sound of combat and, fearful for his wife and children, grabbed his katana and searched the grounds for the source of the noise.
 
 
 
Even with these allegations it was eventually founded that there was not enough evidence to convict him, and so he was let off from any accusations of murder. To add insult to insult in many people’s minds he was, being the only living, direct, descendant of the previous lord was appointed the title in the place of Itsuki. Many considered this too be a fools move however it went ahead. His reign as lord however was a short on since in the late months of 517 A.S. civil war broke out against him. A short lived civil war also in just six months of gathering support the rebels marched on his castle and managed to take it following some questionable acts.
 
 
 
Supposedly in order to spare his wife and children, on 518 A.S., Daiki had committed seppuku, he supposedly hoped to end any punishment they might endure by killing himself and hopefully gain this act from the rebel groups. With the only descendant being of Daiki's blood this 'act' was somewhat unavoidable, and so in the early months of 519 A.S. was given the position of lord.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Enacted the following law(s): N/A
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
=== '''Hibiki Kamida''' - The current Lord of the Kamida 761-819 (Age: 79) ===
 
 
 
 
 
'''''Brief Description:'''''
 
 
 
 
 
Born in 740 A.S. Hibiki was a single child. To his misfortune Hibiki was born with a rare illness which drained his strength both physical and mental. Through his first few years the doctors on Kyushu doubted he could make it past the age of ten - with the way things were going. Refusing to give his son up the current lord, Hibiki's father, spent fortunes on different ointments and medicines. Through all the odds Hibiki survived, although still frail and hardly the sort of a commanding position. Despite his affliction Hibiki had a strong determination and with the help of his father managed to fight on. Unfortunately in the late months of 760 A.S. Hibiki's father past away in his sleep at the age of 68. Although stricken with sadness Hibiki carried and on 761 A.S. was appointed the lord of the Kamida.
 
 
 
 
 
Hibiki's rein has been one of happiness and regret. Having con-sieved six sons he has had a great degree of pride in their accomplishments, although with his affliction he finds few ways to fully embrace them at the same time. His regret came when news of the Gallic's assault on the Kusari Naval Forces, where many of his sons were station. With his sons behind enemy lines Hibiki has felt more helpless than he has ever felt before - all he can do is hope, pray and plan.

=== [[Blood Dragons|Hideyoshi Blood Line]] ===

Having been the lineage to appoint the Kamida to their place of nobility, as well as those that they swore their loyalty to, the Kamida retain a fierce loyalty to this lineage; following their removal from the new democracy.
  
 +
=== [[Jien Kogen|Kogen Blood Line]] ===
 +
While having served them faithfully the Kamida share a resentment to the [[Jien Kogen|Kogen]] lineage since many view their ascension to power to be one of the key factors in the increase of [[Samura]] influence across [[Kusari]]. Due to the lineages close connections with corporate figures they inadvertently aided in a corrosive effect of these figures on the traditions and values of [[Kusari]].
  
= The Kamida Assembly =
+
===[[Kusari|Kusari Democracy]]===
+
View by the Kamida as both a traditional disgust and a threat to their very way of life, the Kamida are in contempt of this new Democracy; considering it an alien and disastrous ideal. Similar too many other nobles who fled Kusari the Kamida believe that the democracy is the casting down of tradition, and with its previous social statuses which it previously encompassed.
 
 
This is the name of the movement formed in 819 A.S. and put in place by Kaito Kamida, after lengthy discussions with his father and other council officials. In itself it is the combination of several classes of people who wish to make Kusari once again under the control of one man, one of noble blood. This movement was created after the alternation of the [[Kusari]] government to a democratic system. A few people throughout [[Kusari]] found this to be a great disgrace - refusing to be ruled by 'corrupt corporate figures' they have taken up arms and formed under the Kamida who have also openly shown a deep displeasure in the change. Although much of the movement is based around the honour implications, the Kamida themselves are also fearful for the implications of the rejection for the need of noble blood ruled communities. Since if the change in government was to be accepted throughout the rest of [[Kusari]] it is likely that their own position would be threatened.
 
 
 
 
 
Many who fill these ranks come from a wide array of backgrounds, past lawful enforcers, farmers, pirates - and many more - all of whom are often seen in this group. This assortment of pilots joined together with the personal guard of the Kamida. The group itself operates very similar to many military's although all order, usually, comes from the noble blood line and are sent down through the ranks accordingly. In this respect all ranks respect their superiors among the noble blood.
 
 
 
 
 
The Kamida are expected to rule, as well as arming and sheltering those who follow the movement. In aid of this the Kamida have considered opening up negotiations with the Blood dragons. Holding a previous Shogunates blood in their veins the leaders of the dragons are one of the solutions to the current dilemma which the Kamida, and their movement currently face. This as well as the fact that the dragons have the appropriate weaponry and power to support them make them the ideal solution.

  • Hibiki Kamida
  • Natsuo Kamida
  • Yukio Kamida


The Kamida family is a family of some small noble prominence. Put in power by the Emperor in the early years of the Kusari Empire to watch over Planet Kyushu and guard its rice offering qualities. Following the rise of democracy within Kusari however they have broken free from their chains of the current ruling democrats of Kusari and strive towards their own goals, acting under the Tokui Komainu banner. Although there have been some exceptions the Kamida all follow the pure blood line, and are always rules by the eldest descendant of the current lord.

Origins

The Kamida Clans earliest archived history denotes their family as possessing some ties to the previous Imperial line following the hectic departure to present day New Tokyo. Work as court advisers and attendants granted the Kamida Clan prominence in the eyes of the Imperial line. Viewed as a reliable candidate, following the successful repression of several riots sourcing from southern provinces of New Tokyo, Tetsu Kamida was soon short lined for the populations of recently discovered inhabitable planets. Following his sudden death on the 62 A.S. his son Shouta Kamida inherited this considerations.

On 75 A.S. the Kamida Clan, under Shouta Kamida, were granted their land holdings on the Planet Kyushu; during the Hideyoshi Imperial rule. Their orders, to utilize the large quantities of open plains discovered on Kyushu’s surface and, on most of the clan’s cases, monitor the construction and maintenance of rice plantations across the planet’s surface.

The area of land granted to the Kamida was border to the north by the Fushi Clan, across the Eastern Sayamato River the Ókura clan, to the South the Maki Clan and to the West the Sato Clan.

Relations

Hideyoshi Blood Line

Having been the lineage to appoint the Kamida to their place of nobility, as well as those that they swore their loyalty to, the Kamida retain a fierce loyalty to this lineage; following their removal from the new democracy.

Kogen Blood Line

While having served them faithfully the Kamida share a resentment to the Kogen lineage since many view their ascension to power to be one of the key factors in the increase of Samura influence across Kusari. Due to the lineages close connections with corporate figures they inadvertently aided in a corrosive effect of these figures on the traditions and values of Kusari.

Kusari Democracy

View by the Kamida as both a traditional disgust and a threat to their very way of life, the Kamida are in contempt of this new Democracy; considering it an alien and disastrous ideal. Similar too many other nobles who fled Kusari the Kamida believe that the democracy is the casting down of tradition, and with its previous social statuses which it previously encompassed.
