In the days when the world was young the humans fought for what they saw as theirs and theirs alone. The sky seemed to weep tears of blood and the rivers were crimson with the blood spilled from the fights. The fighting lasted for years until one day a group of humans who had been gifted with abilities beyond anything that had every been seen before rose from the shadow. The group is said to have had 6 members.
The leader of the group was to have had an eye as red as the blood that drenched the ground, and an eye of the purest gold. He had been known as the Emperor, for his command over the others of his group and the army he had created. His gift was to see into the future, not far by years but he could see possible strategies of his enemies could create, and have a plan to defeat them. It is also said that his golden eye allowed him to control another completely. His weapons of choice were the dual swords and the throwing daggers.
The Emperor's second in command is long thought to be the Shooter, a man known for his long-ranged attacks that never missed its mark. When he held an arrow in his hand even if his hand had been moved away from it's original mark, the arrow still struck true. His gift was accuracy that defied all logic, and his strategies was seen as second best compared to the Emperor. His weapon of choice is the bow and arrows.
The Giant was known for his large stature that scared even the bravest of warriors. His give though one may think it would be for destruction, is creation. The foods he made and the weapons he built were the best in the land. His weapons lasted for longer than any weapon made by an ordinary human hand. He creates and wields the weapons he creates in battle with a dangerous fever, striking his opponents down before they can retaliate. He was simple, yet his loyalty to the Emperor was renown and inspired loyalty in their troops to follow the Emperor into battle. His weapon of choice
The Warrior, the best fighter of the group. His movements were wild and could not be predicted in battle. He fought hard and never let another defeat him. Amongst the rest of the group his physical strength is the greatest. His gift is of strength could not be rivaled, only the Emperor could defeat him, and even he could barely do such a task. The only way the Emperor could defeat the Warrior is because of his strategy and foresight in battle. The Warrior's weapon of choice is the broad sword.
The Warrior is said to have gained a companion during their journey, a friend who could control the wild nature within him. This companion is known as the Seer. The Seer developed the gift of foresight, with a greater reach than the Emperor's, after much training and studying battlefields. She is the female of the group whose foresight gave the Emperor the best times to attack. She was not much of a fighter, but her looks are said to have been deceiving. Her weapon of choice is a bladed fan.
The youngest of the group is known as the Thief. Once he saw a move, he took that move as his own. No one who faced him in battle could defeat him. Any move they used to fight him was stolen from them, for he would not allow them to use that move any longer. He was dangerous on the battlefield and his gift was not to be underestimated. He could not copy the other members in his group however, for even he could not copy the gifts that they held.
These six fought long and hard in battle to protect the lands that they had called their home. In the beginning of the fight their gifts were weak and undeveloped. They did not fight side by side, time had not yet allowed them to know their true strength. The day that they fought together on the field was the day the tide of the battle turned for the better. When the meet each other a connection of brotherhood formed between the 5 males, and a strong respect was given to the Seer by all of the males. From that day forward under the orders of the Emperor they fought and won battle after battle. Never tasting defeat at the hands of their enemies.
They each used their gifts to protect each other and those who were weaker then they were. As the fights drew on those around them noticed a change, or rather lack of a change. These young men and woman did not age. They remained the same age as when they met, looking forever like young adults. The populous saw this as a sign and began to call the men gods and the Seer an immortal Oracle. They worshiped them and eventually the group accepted the title and continued to fight and bring peace to the land. Finally, the fighting ended, and the group decided that they should split the land amongst themselves to have a rule over a part. They had hoped that by doing so, in the future the people would want to fight with those of the other districts to prove who was the strongest. By the people wanting this they too would get to test each other and see who was the strongest amongst themselves.
The Emperor chose the largest portion of land, as his role as leader was crucial in the time of war and fighting. He named his portion of the land Rakuzan. Those who were in his land were trained to be the best of the best.
The Shooter chose and named his land Shutoku. He would build his people to be strong and wise. They also gained a tendency to be superstition and it is said that many of his people tend to be more accurate than another group in whatever occupation they choose.
The Giant chose land that was close to the Emperor. He named his land Yosen. The people in this land were renowned for their skills in creating anything. They also gained the advantage of height over many others in the land.
The Warrior and the Seer combined their land together. They chose to name their land Touou, a land of strong people. They also had a gift for knowledge and loved to learn. They had the land that was a combination of physical strength and the strength of mind.
The Thief took his land and named it Kaijo. The people of his land had a wide variety of gifts at their disposal. Some chose to go and develop one of their talents while others enjoyed and nurtured all their gifts.
Peace was present in the lands. History says that after the fighting ended and a century of peace had passed over the land the gods slept. They waited until a time would come to test their abilities once again. Where they could see who was the strongest amongst themselves. They disappeared from history, their true names forgotten to time.
Before these gods appeared, it was said that a group of five existed that would have rivaled the newest gods in power, but most caused chaos and brought fear and more fighting amongst the people. This group of five was called the Uncrowned Kings, for when the newest gods rose up and began to fight the crowns they once held went to them. When the gods appeared, this group began to lose their power and though they lost a great deal of their strength they did not fade. For some still believed in them. Three of them joined the Emperor and swore loyalty to him. One went and formed a small province hidden within the borders of the gods land. The last of these Uncrowned Kings disappeared, no one knowing where he went or if he still existed.
All 5 of those lands would say that the legend ends there, the Generation of Miracles as the gods became known as, were the strongest in the land. No new history came about to challenge the absoluteness of the legend. But one small piece of land that none of the gods claimed say that there is more to the story.
A sixth god, lost to all history, preserved only by one small province near Kaijou territory. This small province was called Seirin. They acknowledge the GOM and accept them as the gods of the lands they had claimed. However, much like the other territories had a one of the GOM overseeing them Seirin too had a god. A god who was there long before the GOM was created.
This is Seirin's tale of the unknown god, and how the people and the GOM brought her back.
