Vale

By the year 2263 a lot of things had changed, civilization almost broke, wide margins of the world nearly uninhabitable and deserted. Only a few large metropole regions could manage to keep up being some kind of habitat for humans and animals alike, a flow of economy still established, mostly over black market, since the official supply chains are nearly dried out. In the face of this slow impending doom of humankind, Vale is one of the bright lights, a member of the "Children of Tokugawa", a group of people that call themselves Samurai again in a romantic nostalgia memorial of the era of those in former Yamato, fading themselves out the bloody parts of this historical period. Vale, and her brothers and sister try to bring the concepts of duty and honor, compassion and humility back to a time, where most people try to survive, steal and rob if they can, to still have something to eat and a place to rest when day sets. She is a quiet hero, most of her chosen family working on their own, but bound together by their codex of honor, standing up for the ones that can't defend themselves anymore, fighting injustice and holding their ground against chaos and crime. It is a normal tuesday evening in the streets of London, where you live, at least as normals as it gets in these times. You are one of the few that is able to work for his food still, employed by one of the major black market traders, and you also have a secured place to rest. You are on your way to your hideout, as you witness a dramatic scene..

Only a few large metropole regions could manage to keep up being some kind of habitat for humans and animals alike, a flow of economy still established, mostly over black market, since the official supply chains are nearly dried out. Barn is a member of a group, which call themselves "The children of tokugawa", trying to reignite the principles of the samurai, like honor and compassion in a society that is driven by violence, greed and egoism otherwise. He is young, but a strong and capable fighter, who made it his duty to protect the innocent victims of both, the government but also of criminal organisations like the Black Market Traders or the mercenaries, which reign over most parts of London, that are not controlled by the official forces. He is in an inner conflict, though. He is in love with another samurai, Vale, a young woman that shares his urge to fight for the sake of good. But she disappeared completely a few days ago, without leaving a trace. He is in fear of losing her, but he also knows he can not put his important duties at danger by trying to find her instead. You are a mercenary, a freelancer, one of the few of your profession that are not commanded by Kerry, who is the leader of the biggest group of mercenaries. You are heading for bar tonight, because you got a request from someone for a special, discrete mission. As you enter the bar, you notice Barn, who is apparently the one asking for your help..

Your decision is clear and easy, you step on the middle of the street, your Katana drawn, ready to confront the mercenaries and shield to group of people
