BLOOD TIES
Character: Tetsuko Shindou Starting Prompt: Recently, there has been a string of violent attacks at local dojos in Musutafu and Tokyo. The martial arts community, including the Shindou family, has become greatly concerned with the continued assaults. Having been aware of this for some time, Tetsuko has taken her own steps to spread awareness of the issue among local martial arts communities by visiting several dojos, however, in doing so, has arrived at a troubling potential connection between the assailant and her own family... With what help finds in Masters at her own sword school, and other friends, Tetsuko takes it upon herself to follow this thread to see what she might find. Story Beats: Tetsuko will follow what trail she can find at the dojos attacked, and try to find how it relates to her own family.

I'm giving this a cautious approval. Your story beats seems to abruptly cut off, but it seems reasonable enough all the same.

A CIRCLE OF TRUST
Starting Prompt: Following on directly from her previous Saga, and events in Elise's life, Tetsuko is left feeling confused, shocked and lost amidst having to come to terms with her family's recently revealed dark past and a growing feeling of dread and uncertainty. Before she can even begin to hope to address matters with her family, Tetsuko feels the need to expand her own social circle. As the number of people she trusts dwindles, Tetsuko grapples with her own feelings of unworthiness and isolation, and will thus try and let more people into her very closed off Circle of Trust. Story Beats: Tetsuko will, through various different encounters, build up her social circle and surround herself with people she can trust enough to potentially have at her side, or tell about her family situation. She will also solidify her relationships with Kirk and Elise, the two people she trusts most, in order to rebuild her sense of pride and prepare to confront her grandfather... NPCs Involved: No NPCs planned to be involved at this point. End-Goal: To expand Tetsuko's social circle, to deepen her preexisting bonds, and to fortify her own confidence amidst troubled times. Through the Good Times and the Bad (10 Posts) : Tetsuko and Elise meet at the latter of the pair's apartment, having both been through plenty. Tetsuko must come to terms and with and stand by Elise, after she was forced to take a life. Ultimately, they come to lean on any another, sparking the hope they might get through it all. Who I Am (7 Posts) : Feeling lost and undeserving of her position within the school, Tetsuko meets a younger student who claims to have been inspired by her. Through a brief conversation, Tetsuko comes to understand the positive impact she's had on people around her, while also realizing she needs to reforge herself to be able to continue to inspire others. Blizzard vs. Mind (12 Posts) : Tetsuko encounters a classmate in the middle of her own crisis, and manages to help her using advice she got from her own Grandfather. Struggling with her memories of her family and their wrongdoings, Tetsuko starts to understand how difficult it might be to separate them, while also strengthening her bond with a classmate, someone else she could truly trust. Our Histories (14 Posts) : Tetsuko meets with her surrogate little brother, Luka, in England. Though the bond between the two has withered, they re connect and share their problems with one another. Tetsuko is able to tell Luka about her problems, and he makes clear how important it is that she can confront her Grandfather over the sins of his past. Tetsuko also offers her own shoulder to Luka, and comes to understand how important it can be to let her mask down. What Am I Fighting For? (8 Posts) : While in England, Tetsuko meets with Elise, and the two become even more certain in their path ahead. Struggling with uncertainty and doubt, Tetsuko resolves to find something to fight for now that her family pride has proven false and detrimental. With Elise at her side, she feels ready to take on the future ahead. Heavy Metal Match (13 Posts) : In an emotional fight with Haruuhi, Tetsuko struggles as she realizes how much her resolve has waned. Although with her will and bonds reinforced, she still needs the resolve to keep fighting. Tetsuko, with the gratitude she feels towards those closest to her, manages to push through her own feelings, with a regretful victory against Haruuhi. Not believing she deserved it, Tetsuko resolves to become someone worthy of her own strength. To do that, she needs to face her Grandfather... |

TRAIL OF STEEL
Character: Tetsuko Starting Prompt: After resolving herself to confront her Mother and Grandfather over her family's hidden past, Tetsuko finally does so. In the process, she learns about his previous violence and Quirkism, and the unforgiven sins that lead to the Dojo Hunter terrorizing the martial arts world. Wanting to learn more, Tetsuko sets out to investigate her Aunt and Cousin, and what else about her family remains hidden... Story Beats: Tetsuko will have a thread confronting her family, and then begin to try and find any leads she can on her Aunt, and her connection to the Dojo Hunter. This will involve meeting with those she trusts and getting their takes, as well as trying to understand her family's actions. The end result, however, remains uncertain. NPCs Involved: Ryouichi Shindou (Tetsuko's Grandfather), Akane Shindou (Tetsuko's Aunt), and Mirai Kobayashi End-Goal: To further push Tetsuko to 'reforging' her own set of ideals, by forcibly facing the good and bad of her family and learning how to handle it. Notables: Esperia has already agreed to ST Akane and Mi, will need an ST for Ryouichi. Completed Saga: <Add the link to your saga threads> |
