I had begun to wonder after playing Samurai Warriors if the Oda family had a greater back-story then depicted. I did some research and the results for Nobunaga astounded me. This however is not historically accurate. This is something I was thinking about…the idea of the conquests being taken into the more dangerous realm that I have created in my head.

Alliances

The Oda Army.

Commander: Nobunaga Oda

Weapon: Demon Regalia

Element: Darkness

Alternate form: Takes the appearance of a raven winged demon with glowing red eyes. In this form his power is increased as his sword is fused with his body allowing him to slice anything with his fingers.

Second in command: Mitsuhide Akechi

Weapon: Gilded Talon

Element: Lightning

Alternate Form: Takes the appearance of a hawk winged demon with the color of his wings being white. No change is in his appearance other then the wings and the glowing of his body. His attributes are now equal to that of Nobunaga's demon form and his speed is also increased greatly.

Officers

Name: Lady Noh

Weapon: Blood Viper

Element: Darkness

Alternate form: Takes the appearance of a naga with wings similar to a butterfly's. Her attributes are now similar to a snakes and she is capable of flight. Her weapon is discarded and now she fights with tooth and nail.

Name: Ranmaru Mori

Weapon: Gohotendo

Element: Ice

Alternate form: Channels all of his anger into his sword thus elongating its length and making his weapon that much more dangerous. There is a weakness in now the blade is also heavier and the calmer he is the smaller the sword. When he is doing this his eyes glow purple.

Name: Katsuie Shibata

Weapon: Dragons tooth

Element: Ice

Alternate form: Takes the form of a devil. His skin hardens and horns sprout from his forehead thus turning him into the essence of a devil. However there are drawbacks as this only mildly increases his strength and he is much more reckless.

The Tokogawa army

Commander: Ieyasu Tokogawa

Weapon: Quake maker

Element: Fire

Alternate form: Through the use of his retainers which give up their energy to him Ieyasu is able to channel all of his power into his body along with their own making him thousands of times stronger. His speed however is reduced and if his allies are weakened then so to is his power.

Second in command: Tadakatsu Honda

Weapon: Tonbo-giri

Element: Fire

Alternate form: Tadakatsu is permanently stuck in his alternate form of a being called Iron Ox. This form is impervious to damage and deals tremendous amounts of damage however his strength is firmly tied to Ieyasu so if Ieyasu is hurt or killed in battle so is Tadakatsu.

Officers

Name: Hanzo Hattori

Weapon: Chained Dragon

Element: Darkness

Alternate form: Hanzo balances both his energy with darkness causing himself to become shadow. Aptly called 'shadow illusion' Hanzo can both manipulate darkness and use it to his advantage in attacks.

Name: Ina

Weapon: Coiled Viper

Element: Wind

Alternate form: Ina has no true alternate form as her blood is ravaged by Tadakatsu's own form. The only ability she has that can be called an alternate form is called Three Perceptions in which she can see first through armor then through skin then through muscle to see all of the vital areas her arrows can penetrate.

The Toyatomi army

Commander: Hideyoshi Toyatomi

Weapon: Mongu

Element: Lightning

Alternate form: Infuses his body with the attributes of a monkey granting him great speed and agility. However this also causes him to lose most of his human attributes.

The Ishida army

Commander: Mitsunari Ishida

Weapon: Golden Frill

Element: Wind

Alternate form: Mitsunari's alternate form is that of a humanoid fox including the tail eyes and muzzle of one. With this form he gains the attributes of the fox including the speed and craftiness however like Hideyoshi he loses some of his more human attributes.

Second in command: Sakon Shima

Weapon: Wrecking Blade

Element: Wind

Alternate form: Sakon is without an alternate form due to his attributes already being great and at an equal to Mitsunari's alternate form.

Officers

Name: Yukimura Sanada

Weapon: Dragons Tail

Element: Fire

Alternate form: Yukimura has the ability to fuse himself with fire thus discarding the use of his spear and using his body as a weapon. The fire however is dimmable and when dimmed Yukimura has no power to reignite it thus passing out.

Name: Kanetsugu Naoe

Weapon: Evil's Bane

Element: Fire

Alternate form: Kanetsugu uses the power of his loyalty to Mitsunari and Yukimura to bestow him enhanced abilities and weapon strength. When activated his voice is a mixture of the three however if one is injured the power is reduced by a third.

Name: Yoshihiro Shimazu

Weapon: Beast Crusher

Element: Wind

Alternate form: Yoshihiro has the same devil form as Katsuie but he has none of the weaknesses. With his form the hammer transforms becoming a large ax with a blunt end on the other side.

Name: Ginchiyo Tachibana

Weapon: Heavens Bite

Element: Lightning

Alternate form: Ginchiyo's alternate form allows her to take in the power of lightning turning her body into a living conduit. Her eyes turn yellow and her armor will continually spark when this activates. This form only has two weaknesses the first being if someone both wears wooden armor and uses a non metal weapon or if she is splashed or doused with water which turns the electricity onto her.

Name: Keiji Maeda

Weapon: Divine Mandible

Element: Lightning

Alternate form: Keiji has no alternate form because all of his abilities are excelled. However his abilities are increased when he is atop his trusty steed Matsukaze.

Name: Nene

Weapon: Devils feathers

Element: Ice

Alternate form: Nene is similar to Hanzo except she fuses her essence with Light instead of Darkness allowing her to get the drop on her more shady counterparts, however if exposed to too much negative (angry or sad) energy the form is dropped immediately.

Other characters used.

Alternate Form: Nagamasa has the same alternate form as Kanetsugu however he instead uses the love of Oichi and the honor inside him which is nearly unbeatable.

Name: Oichi

Weapon: Cup and gold

Element: Lightning

Alternate form: Due to Nobunaga's infectious blood she has the demon form. When this is activated her body warps into a twisted evil version of herself and her personality changes as well becoming dark and evil and uncaring of anyone but herself.

Name: Kenshin Uesugi

Alternate form: Due to his prayers Kenshin takes on a dragon like form of the god Bishamonten which imbues him with god-like strength and speed but strips of him of some of his human intelligence.

Name: Shingen Takeda

Weapon: Heavens Sign

Element: Wind

Alternate form: Shingen's alternate form is the ability to become a tiger-like individual in which his speed is increased while his strength stays the same. The only down-side to this is that his smarts are dulled to animal instinct.

Okay that's all the characters listed. This story will follow both historic battles of the Feudal Era and battles I think would be pretty cool in the form of tournaments. If I missed some characters I will eventually add them in.
