I shall risk life and limb to see this NES stay afloat sir!
That better?
Much.
I am pretty much done with NPC profiles. The one that remains is the Yomi kingdom that is basically our first "villain" - depending on what course of action players take. And that info will remain mostly shrouded because it will be a mysterious kingdom from the get-go.
Then there are the two oni clans in the western Hidaka Mountains. Not sure what to do with them, so any suggestions about their background are more than welcome.
We have (in summary):
- necromancer nezumi (Hokoruashi)
- alliance of two samebito clans (Kamuda & Zanji)
- kingdom of oni sorcerers (Haikaimichi)
- skilled yato samurai kingdom with blades made from knowledgeable monks (Tsuruhifu)
- tyrannical human kingdom (Takaikusa)
- cult human kingdom (Ongakukusa)
- reclusive tengu kingdom (Kogake)
- alchemy-focused human clan (Kumamoto)
- brotherhood of two mischievous aki clans (Shodokutsu & Shoyama)
- ninja-focused kitsune kingdom (Tenkegawa)
- hunter-focused yato clan (Hidoihorsehockya)
- Vicious, ferocious, terrible oni clan (Honekorosu)
