The Blood Dragons are an ancient faction descended from the body guards of the deposed Shoguns of the Hideyoshi Dynasty. The Blood Dragons were formed after the Sakura festival ended in Shugon Hideyoshi being placed under arrest in the palace by the Kusari Military and his royal guard was forced to surrender. The remains of Hideyoshi's royal guard fled into the northern space of Kusari. Soon they adopted a new name, The Blood Dragons. This was 321 AS.
The Blood Dragons were left in ruins. Fleeing what was now being called Imperial Kusari Space, they headed to the remote system of Chugoku. Here they set up a base in the heart of a large asteroid. This base would be named Kyoto, and still stands today as the Blood Dragon's centre of operations.
In the midst of the Blood dragon's Success, in 642 A.S, Yuyu Matsuda, a young but critically acclaimed poet, publishes "Golden Chrysanthemum in Bloom", and the Golden Chrysanthemum terrorist group is founded by young Kusarian women who refused to have their lives lacking in direction and are reluctant to become married and fulfill their traditional role in Kusari society. The Blood Dragons recognizing a severe need for allies, begin working with the Golden Chrysanthemums, and in time an alliance was formed.
Soon Ryuku base is built in the Tohoku system, which was used to monitor KNF activity found in the system. It was discovered that the Naval Forces and Samura were building a base in a large asteroid not far away from Ryuku. This base would be known in the short future as Tekagi's Arch. Not long after the completion of the installation, Governor Tekagi claimed the base as his own residence.
The Blood Dragons realized that Tekagi was schemeing plans of his own, and his constant meetings with representatives of the Chancellor of Rheinland were seen as suspicious by the Blood Dragon movement. Not long after, the Blood Dragons were contacted by The Order, an organisation determined to eradicate hostile alien forces from across Sirius.
The Order identified that the Kusari Politician, Govenor Tekagi, was under alien influence, possibly infected by the Chancellor of Rheinland. The two factions lead a strike force against the Tekagi's Arch. The Blood Dragons wanted Tekagi dead, and The Order were after a mysterious alien artifact, known only as the Proteus Tome. The Blood Dragons and the Order were successful in this event, the only regret of this mission was the death of honourable Blood Dragon veteran, Ozu.
Since the events of the Nomad War, the Blood Dragons have continued their attacks on the Kusari Naval Forces and Samura, with many successes and failures. Unfortunatley, the Hideyoshi's guard has slowly died out over the years to the present, and with the passing of the Hideyoshi's Guard, a new power has risen, The Rising Sons of Kusari.
The Rising Sons of Kusari History
Founded in 815 with the creation of the first Blood Dragon "Togo" Battleship, The Rising Sons set aside their differences and competition for power to fight as one for the original Blood Dragon Cause, the installation of a direct Hideyoshi descendant and the destruction of the Traitorous Kusari Empire. Weilding the Blood Dragon's tag as a show of Honour and Bravery, the Rising Sons seek to restore the original cause, thereby reclaiming what, as they see in their eyes, is rightfully theirs.
The Rising Sons movement originally consisted of three Shoguns, each descended from the three most powerful Shoguns of the Hideyoshi Dynasty, deposed during the bloody Sakura coup of 321 A.S. Today, these Shoguns are an awesome display of power and military right. Headed by a descendant of the honourable Shogun Hideyoshi, the new Rising Sons movement fight to restore Kusari to what it orginally was.
Embraced and cherished by the citizens of the True Kusari, The Rising Sons are often seen working with the Golden Chrysanthemums in the plight against the dishonourable and traitorous Kusari Empire. With rumors of a new power rising, the Kusari Empire is about to face a threat beyond the expected.
As the Blood Dragons continue their goals, the Sakura Coup still echoes in the mind of every Blood Dragon man, woman and child. The bloody massacre is far from over.
But the Blood Dragons have come a long way since then. They have grown. They have prospered. They have flourished. But they will never forget.
Ranking System
The head Shogun. The Taishogun is the leader of the Blood Dragons. A direct descendant of the Shogun Hideyoshi, the Taihogun has access to all ships and commands any Rising Son Officer. No person is to set foot upon any area 100 feet away from the Taishogun's presence without the Taishogun's permission. No person other than the Shoguns is allowed to know the Taishogun's real name.
Shoguns are the Military Commanders. Often known amongst Kusari Unlawfuls as the "Rising Sons", the Shoguns are descendents of the other Shoguns of old Kusari and are chosen from among the elite Shogunate. The Shoguns command every ranked officer within The Rising Sons and may use any ship. No person is to set foot upon any area 50 feet away from a Shogun without the Shogun's permission.
The Daimyo is a lord of The Rising Sons. The most elite amongst their ranks, a Daimyo should be a feared name amongst the ranks of the Kusari Naval Forces.
Usually translated as "Elder", a Roju has acended the ranks of those below him. A Grand Master at war, a Roju will be able to beat nearly everybody in The Rising Sons at Combat.
As a Master Warrior, a Hatamoto commands many officials within The Rising Sons. A Hatamoto is tasked to lead patrols and confront any KNF forces that enter Chugoku.
An Oban is the guard of the House, usually of Kyoto or Ryuku, in some cases, Mito Shipyards. An Oban is deticated to protecting The Rising Sons and the Taishogun.
The Rising Sons Role Play and Policies
Faction ID and IFF
All Blood Dragons of The Rising Sons movement must have either the Blood Dragon ID or Blood Dragon Guard ID. All IFF transmitters are to be set to display either a Blood Dragon or Blood Dragon Guard IFF. In addition to this, all official Blood Dragons of The Rising Sons movement must display the ]bd[ tag before their name or callsign.
Goals and Objectives
Goals and objectives of The Rising Sons are the destruction of the current Kusari Empire, as well as the destruction of Samura, the Hogosha and the Farmer Alliance movements. Eradication of all dishonourable Gaijin in Kusari, as well as those foreign traders who service our enemies and the eradication of Cardamine and Artifacts from Kusari. And finally the installation of a direct descendant of Shogun Hideyoshi and re-introduction of the Shogunate Government.
Description of Activities
The Rising Sons primarily concern themselves with the Destruction of the Kusari Empire and driving off all foreign Gaijin. All forces are to operate within only within our Zone of Influence. The Rising Sons uphold their primary objectives by striking key points of the Kusari Empire. Our efforts to pirate along with the GC have been a great success, and Kusari profits have dropped by a reasonable number with many traders either destroyed or terrorised. In addition to piracy, terrorism not only appears in Kusari Space but also on planets such as Honshu, Kyushu and New Tokyo.
Blood Dragon Role Play
The Blood Dragons descend from what is depicted to be the most honourable faction ever created. Thus, The Rising Sons must honour everything and everybody that strays across our path. The Rising Sons MUST ALWAYS have an honourable character, and an honourable manner of speaking must be upheld at all times. Your temper is not to be lost at ANYONE and you should respect and mourn each friend and foe you encounter.
Gaijin
All Foreigners (Gaijin) who enter Kusari Space are to be treated with hostility. We are very suspicious of the activites of foreigners seeing as one of the reasons Shogun Hideyoshi was deposed is because of foreign influence in Kusari.
The Kusari-Bretonian War
We want this war to go on for as long as possible. Should Bretonia win the war, we will have trouble fighting them off again to reinstall a direct descendant of Shogun Hideyoshi. Should Kusari win, they will gain more power and resources, making our job many times harder.
Terrorism
Terrorism in Kusari is highly encouraged, scaring people away from Kusari is one of our goals. We try to terrorise everyone except for Kishiro, the GMG and the GC. However, the Blood Dragons are not just terrorists, and RP must be formally held when "Terrorising", in accordance to Blood Dragon RP. The Blood Dragons are not a faction who can blow up everybody they see, but should be able to scare them away a bit. Terrorism within Kusari must be reasonable and fair to everybody, and should be done with the Honour and Dignity of the Blood Dragons.
Piracy
All ships taking goods to Kusari are to be stopped and taxed. All ships taking goods out of Kusari to Liberty, Rheinland, the Borderworlds or Gallia are also to be taxed. All ships headed for Bretonia are to be taxed UNLESS the ship is a bretonian coorporation. All Samura ships are to be DESTROYED.
Contraband
All ships smuggling Cardamine or Synthetic Marijuana are to be destroyed immediatley unless being smuggled by the Golden Chrysanthemums or Outcasts smuggling for the Chrysanthemums. Artifacts are to be destroyed on sight. Slaves, Black Market Munitions and Counterfeit Software are to be deposited at Kyoto where we can make very good use of them. Gaian Wildlife, Human Organs and Blood Daimonds can either be sold, or made to good use.
