Ginko The Mushishi
Traveling Mushi-Shi
Act 0 - Dawn of the New Day
A whole universe restarted with just one snap of fingers. The continent of Bordova would never know who, or what did it. But deep in the dreams of all, there lies a thought that perhaps there was an alternate reality, or perhaps a second life unknown to them in this new rebirth.
....
Your fate is entwined with The Vale, and today is that fateful day, where it all began for you.

"You're losing this game, you know." A young man sat in a black wooden chair, another young man nestled in one much the same. They were playing a game of chess, the boy on the right who had chosen the White pieces, was pale as can be, long black hair that settled across his shoulders. And it seemed as if he was rather sophisticated, wearing a suit that seemed a perfect fit. Sharp.
The other male, seemed more relaxed, if almost confident. Brown hair slicked back, a cool, sly smirk. One leg perched on the seat while the other hung lazily on the floor. The man in the suit was named Genya, and the man on the other side...Well..He never actually knew his name. Who was he, what was he? Why did he always come to him in his dreams and play a game of chess with him?
"Quiet, I can see the board." Genya spoke, with a hint of annoyance in his voice. He never actually took the time to study what his dream world looked like, but when he looked around for the first time, all he could see was floors polished till they gleamed. A table across the room, most likely reserved for dinner parties, books crammed into shelves on walls. And when he turned his head he was met with a window, overlooking a beach outside.
The man who noticed Genya had lost interest in the game, chuckled. Picking up a black knight, and a white knight chess piece. "You know, the universe was restarted once, but I assume you don't remember..Or even know, for that matter. Two worlds, both heavily identical to one another...And yet so different at the same time."
Genya turned his head, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean? What are you talking about?" He asked, curious he extended his hand up to his chin, resting it there.
"Lets say this," the man put the black knight down. "This here, is a man who lost all he had on a bet one night, he never could pay the price for it. So he was killed." The man then set down the white knight, right next to the black one. "This, is that very same man. Except in that world, that new reality, he instead won that very same bet, and became rich because of it. Perhaps there might be a few differences, such as his name, or his occupation, or perhaps even his whole life was different. But one thing remains the same. He is the same person, and holds the same soul."
Genya watched the two chess pieces, then looked up to the man. "I guess I understand..But you tell me this although I won't rememeber it once I leave." The man nodded, smirking. "No, and that's okay. You need to wake up...Because your new recruits are arriving today. Let's just hope that accident doesn't happen again like with the last bunch of greenies you enrolled..." Genya was met with a smile as the dream world faded away...And much like the dream world, Genya's own memory of that happening was also whisked away.
Genya, the Leader of The Vale. 25 years old, and stone-faced most of the time. Rough around the edges it seems, but Genya gets the work done. And that's how it works. That's how its meant to work. Awakening and leaning up from his bed, Genya could hear Jacques, the Butler calling for him from a few feet away. The door was locked.. Genya remembered, today was the day. The new recruits were coming..Staring out the window of his bedroom, Genya dreaded the thought of another accident like last time...

The Vale Estate, each owner of The Vale has received this Estate when becoming the next Leader. Genya is currently the third leader of The Vale. built in a rectangle, the garden is settled in the middle of the Estate's grounds. (as you can see from the picture) The training grounds is found at the far north side of the estate upon entering the front doors. Going farther north you will be met with the staircase towards the beach from the training grounds.
(As with any roleplay there should be rules set to keep the Roleplay fair and fun. My rules are actually rather lax. So don't get scared just yet.)

(As with any roleplay there should be rules set to keep the Roleplay fair and fun. My rules are actually rather lax. So don't get scared just yet.)
- Rule 1 - I will give EVERYONE a week deadline for a post in story content. If I post on a Saturday, I will post again on the next Saturday (Unless everyone has posted already) , I can give extensions if people are not yet able to respond in time. I do this because I know people can get stressed with posting a reply while having to deal with a multitude of other things in their lives. Though do keep an eye out, I would like to keep this roleplay in action! More replies means more fun for me to read and move the plot! (If you need to leave for an extended amount of time, I will ensure your character goes off on a secluded mission. Until you return!)
- Rule 2 - Be kind to everyone in the roleplay. is simple, why you hafta be mad?
- Rule 3 - I will make sure to keep you all in the know, instead of using an OOC thread, I will add anyone who has joined the roleplay into a PM convo with the group, OR I can have the members also join a discord, whichever one is better at contacting you!
- Rule 4 - Any ideas you have as personal growth arcs for your character you can come to me and we can work it into the roleplay! I like to anime-ize my roleplays by giving them arcs/seasons. You may very well become one of the spotlights for an arc I have planned!
(ANIME OPENING FOR YA'LL!)
