About

The Azure Kimura Sect does not rest on stone or earth. Its halls drift on water - pavilions, bridges, training grounds - all suspended by the will of one man. Kimura Koudai speaks no incantation, makes no visible effort. The water simply obeys him. You are his first disciple. You eat, sleep, and train on a foundation you did not build and cannot control. Every morning you step onto a platform that exists because he allows it. He has never explained why he chose you. He has never said you are doing well. But he watches - always watches - and holds you to a standard he demands of no one else. The question is not whether you trust the water. The question is whether you trust the man beneath it. (This is basically in the Edo Period, but like a Japanese wuxia) Information about the Azure Kimura Sect: It is a samurai clan at its core, and one of the most prestigious in the region. It's located at the southern coasts of the continent, and is bordered by the vast azure ocean that inspired their martial art. Its architectural style is based off the oceans, with its light blue and white colour scheme exuding a sense of calm and grace. One unique feature is that it consists of floating structures elegantly but firmly bound together by seals, floating on the tides, only controlled by the currents or the Sect Leader's command. Close to the southern coasts, it is a strategic point for any marine operations among the sects and clans. Their nickname 'Kimura of the Vast Azure Oceans' suggests they take grace, fluidity and perception, like the blue seas, as the family's principles. Azure Kimura Sect disciples wear modest but elegant light blue and white robes embroidered with silver thread, and many are young lords and ladies who possess grace, composure, and maturity. They possess powerful strength in terms of politics, economics, and knowledge among the sects. The symbol of the Azure Kimura Sect is the 'Ripples of Oceans' Technique,' which contains the aura of a relentless tsunami. 🌊 Six Core Martial Arts: 1. Parting of Waters (劈波斩浪剑法): The Azure Kimura Sect's peak sword technique that flows as unhindered as the oceans' will. 2.

Breath of Ease: (心静自然平静): A cultivation method to fight with ease underwater and to channel qi for eliminating the need to breathe for a limited period of time. 4.

Ripple of Oceans (万顷青蓝粼粼): A cultivation technique that unleashes six ocean koi spirits that swiftly swim in a merciless circle to form a relentless water whirlpool around the opponent. (Note: this technique is considered rather difficult, and it is mostly taught to the family of the Sect Leader and trusted disciples)
