A FUbN alt that is a work in progress. Based off the setting described in FUbN_Maxine's profile and a somewhat neutral third party at that! Not actually played by Maxine's player though.
There are those who travel the land who neither support the despotic queen or seek to reinstate an emperor that was just as bad in some ways if not worse, instead seeking to protect those in the most need of protection and a little bit of salvation in the process. These guardians travel the breadth of the country to prevent open conflict with the loyalist and shinto ninja while constantly looking for that perfect place where they can set down roots and begin to develop a permanent stronghold to take as a home. The problem is that these women have taken to guarding the 'special beasts' that have sprung up since the kitsune's fracturing and such soul-heavy targets are quite attractive to many ninja...so for now they roam.
Composed of equal parts ninja and those special beasts that are capable of defending themselves, the guardians is a very eclectic group that has learned a very distrustful attitude towards strangers due to the danger their lifestyle brings upon them. While there is primarily a single group of guardians, small groups do splinter off to accomplish missions that are important to the group's ideals. How they find out about these missions is a bit of a mystery but they seem to have insider knowledge of some kind which has lead to the more paranoid thinking that the guardians have spies planted among the queen's court and the loyalists both but all efforts to ferret them out have been fruitless so far to the frustration of those in charge of such investigations.
Chou Akiyama is the genesis behind the guardian conclave, a dissatisfied commander within the queen's army of ninja that broke away when the seemingly endless train of 'sacrifices' reached the point that she could no longer stand by and tolerate the act. While the queen and Chou used to be close and, if the rumors were true, intimate with one another the young woman couldn't tolerate what she saw as pointless inflation of the queen's personal power. While she might have disagreed with what she had observed she also didn't have the heart to strike against the government that was holding the land together either. So, in the dark of night, before her treasonous heart could be discovered Chou crept into the palace's inner sanctum and stole a very special pendant that only the queen's closest confidants even knew existed. With it, she knew she could deter her old friend from pursuing her into the life Chou wanted to forge for herself and so far...she's been right~! Freed from pursuit, Chou decided that the best way to spend the remainder of her life is to gather up those special beasts that exist in the wild with particularly...potent souls. Gather them up and then guard them from any ninja (shinto or loyalist) that dares to think their power is worth another's unwilling life~! Not that this is easy, considering many of these 'monsters' actually seem keen to be reduced to a puddle of fem-cum and the temptation to do just that is very strong for even a disciplined ninja like Chou, never mind her disciples! Still Chou does her best and she has gathered a small group of like-minded ninja and beasts around her, always moving to avoid drawing the attention of the queen's forces or shinto ninja looking to increase their own strength. And if that fails...well, what works on the queen will work just as easily on some uppity novice...
Sumiko Honda is a valiant shinto ninja that became disillusioned with the cause of her fellows when the realization hit her that the 'princes' were just as likely to be unbirthed by their protectors as they were by the enemy. The final straw came when the prince she had decided to protect, Haku, disappeared without any trace and Sumiko claims that she has no idea what happened to him. Her compatriots threw her a celebration and that night she left. Sumiko believes that this war isn't one that is actually going to end that the people fighting it are throwing away their time and effort in a fruitless pursuit. Eventually she was discovered by Chou when a group of loyalist ninja came upon Sumiko defending a centaur woman and quickly recruited the quiet kunoichi once it became clear that her passion lay with defending others. Sumiko quickly proved her mettle in defending the conclave and is often one of the ones chosen to take on some mission or the other to rescue a target or take out a particularly dangerous ninja who has been getting too close. This has earned the 'Red Imp' quite a sizable bounty, but none have been able to collect it yet...
If one were to ask the members of the conclave just who the most potent among their number was, the one name that would never come up would be Chika Inoue...except from Chika herself of course~! This young woman is convinced that she is the best thing to happen to the art of ninjutsu since the queen's revelation that one could absorb the soul of another to increase their own power, and nothing that has happened to her has ever convinced her otherwise. Mostly because she has been sheltered from the harsh realities of the land and thus has no idea just how dangerous it really is out there. On one hand it gives her an unparalleled amount of confidence that has aided her from time to time, but on the other her friends are concerned it will lead to her downfall. ...Probably the latter~! Until then, this spitfire is a constant thorn in the side of any authority figure.
Name: Hina Hamada Age: Twenty-five Soul Accumulation: 50 Disposition: Quiet/observant
Hina Hamada is a striking young woman that most can identify just by her profile and for very good reason! The mission of the guardians is to protect the 'special beasts', that much is very clear but the beasts themselves seem to lack that desire when it comes to being unbirthed by others. While the conclave hosts a small number of harpies that help in scouting out the path ahead, one of the quartet became extremely fond of Hina (as harpies are keen of doing) and the two became practically inseparable after one harrowing escape too many; things came to a head though when the harpy begged Hina to unbirth her and let the two of them actually become one. After many days of arguing against it...Hina finally gave in and did the deed. Not too long after that Hina came into the form that everyone currently recognizes her in and has taken it on herself to guard the three remaining harpies. Capable of taking flight for limited stretches of time, Hina has become a crucial member of the guardians since she is much less feather-brained than the other harpies (but definitely more than she used to be) and is capable of defending the other special beasts just as ferociously as before~!
Splat might possibly be the easiest and most troublesome of the guardians' special beasts to protect because if everything is going right she just needs to be carried from place to place...but if something has gone wrong, she doesn't just need to be found but the area quickly abandoned~! Why? Is Splat...dangerous? Most often she isn't because the slime is bound within a glass jar that various members of the conclave take turns in carrying around with them in their packs. From within there she seems quite content and happy to just enjoy the free travel, but every now and then...the binding is disturbed and Splat is able to ooze free and almost immediately makes for the nearest source of moisture to gain size and mass. Usually that means running into a village to absorb water before seeking...alternate moisture. Usually its the embarrassed screams of Splat's 'victims' that give away where she's gone and it makes for quite the scene as well. Each time she has to be reduced in mass until she can be fitted into her binding jar once more but by that point she seems almost happy to go back inside and await her next chance to cause mischief and mayhem. It makes some of the guardians wonder if Splat is with them willingly or not, but Splat has returned on her own several times when the guardians were unable to find her which puts to rest most such doubts. Which is good considering how...potent her soul is.

OOC Stuff:
Relatively simple concept here honestly, I've played the Flying Unbirth Ninja Game, saw a couple interesting characters around the chat who did the same thing, and eventually worked up the inspiration to actually make a flying unbirth ninja of my own! Then I saw FUbN_Maxine's setting and the other people who had joined and contributed to it and I had to try my hand at it myself~! Profile will be added to with time as I think of new ideas and concepts but the general gist of the guardians isup. Friendly OOC and perfectly willing to just chat about various ideas but I'm kinda interested in finding a 'lord/lady' to serve under who might not necessarily be capable of vore/unbirth themselves and find themselves in need of the guardians to do it for them while the guardians need their protection.
I don't often do multi-character roleplays, as fair warning, because it is very draining and at times difficult to keep track of. If you want to play with multiple characters that's fine, but I would prefer it happen through individual role-plays than all of them together.
