Chapter 12: Angry Conversations
Io and Johnny step outside, where Io sets up a bottle and the rules of the wager. The American looks at the bottle intensely. Shrugging, he backs up 15 paces. He pulls out a Revolver, and aims it so fast Io can hardly tell the time apart from him upholstering the gun and then putting it up. The first shot goes straight through the bottle, cutting it in half. The second shot shatters the top half further. The third shot manages to go straight through the center of the bottlecap! Johnny puts his smoking revolver down.
"I expect you to pay me for those bullets, at least in drinks."((Yes, revolvers exist in this time period. While they carry multiple-shots the downside is that they are
much less accurate than a pistol. (It's like comparing an Uzi to a Bolt-action rifle.) The only people who would use them are sharpshooters and close-combat soldiers.))

"Yakuza!" As the group yells this, all the villagers Nikolae can see start running into houses and buildings. Doors are shut and windows are slammed.

Gender: Male
Age: 18
Clan: Kotowa (Neutral)
Appearance: 5'9", long blonde hair tied in a ponytail and clear blue eyes. His body is muscled and built for agility without forsaking strength. The young man usually wears leather pants, a loose white long-sleeved shirt topped by a black vest with a silver pocket watch attached to it and resilient brown leather boots. Due to his fencing classes, he took the habit of donning a chail mail under his clothing.
Biography: Inheritance? Nikolae had no need for such things, especially because his older brother would receive all of it... Anyway, hailing from the Kriegsmacher family from the Prussian area of Germany, Nikolae was given a large sum of gold and convinced to leave the country or face the consequences of a struggle for the ownership of all the family's possessions. The youngster always wanted some adventure, and the prospect of not having to worry about poison in his food and assassins hiding in his bedroom seduced him, and to Japan he went. He is almost always smiling and his intelligence shifts along different areas, causing him to appear to be rather stupid sometimes.
He had fencing classes and carries a longsword along his rifle, which always has an attached bayonet.

"Can you not see what the Orogami are doing?!" he yells into the crowd.

The Bandit Leader coughs up a sizable amount of blood. He looks up into Matsuo's eyes, for quite a while. Then, he swings his fist at Matsuo's body, but the Samurai is prepared for the attack!
(5+1 vs. 4)
Before the fist can reach him, Matsuo swings his sword down and slices into Bandit's skull! He does not utter a cry as a section of his head flies off, he just faints on the ground as his cerebrum spills out blood. Matsuo notices something on the bandit's body that he did not see before: A large tattoo on his back from the Ikki Ikko bandit clan.
Name: Matsuo Satoshi
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Clan: Banke
Health: Left Knee has been dislocated.
Appearance: A Giant of a man with a muscular body honed through years of training and small conflicts. Despite taking part in a number of duels and minor battles Satoshi remains unscarred. He wears his hair extremely long giving rise to a local myth that he will only shave it when he is defeated in battle
Biography: A legend among his people Satoshi's boisterous and warrior like nature have seen him become a popular figure among the Imperialist small-folk and samurai alike. He has a great love of battle and prefers to fight with traditional methods, though he does not look down on the men who have adapted to more modern ways. Satoshi is not well liked by a number of the higher ranked imperial officals due to his brashness but his fighting ability is well respected, meaning that while he may never have a command of his own he is still a potent weapon when simply pointed towards the enemy.
While Satoshi would prefer Japan to remain true to its traditional ways he does not disrespect the Shogunate and sees them as a worthy opponent who have presented him with the opportunity of a life-time to prove himself.
