Posting for Shinomori Katsumi if that's okay.

She wants to keep:

Rider's Greaves: These greaves are very tough, made of some of the finest steel around. The material on the bottoms provide stability and support in rocky situations. +6 Dex
Power: As long as the wearer has both feet on the ground, they can not be knocked down or away.

Dark Ranger's Gloves: These gloves are very durable, keeping the arms safe. They also seem to help your grip, so you can gather arrows and aim much easier! +3 Str +3 Dex
Power: Blocking with the gloves nullifies all damage.

And in addition from her stalker kill:

Stalker's Plated Ribs: Chest Add-On. The ribcage of the Stalker seems to be like plated armor that molds to the wearer's shape! +3 Con +3 Str +3 Dex

I don't know what happened... in an instant, it seemed like everything had turned around. The ship had crashed, and I was thrown from my feet, landing against the wall and grabbing the railing so I didn't fall overboard. Struggling to get my bearings, I saw that most of the people had gotten off of the ship, but there was a woman caught in the doorway leading to below the deck... and there were people trapped underneath!

"Oh no..."

I ran over to her quickly, wanting to pull her out, but I saw the wood stabbing her in the stomach... I couldn't move her without possibly killing her... but the people underneath... I sent some of my light energy past the woman, seeping in as little by little. In time, my doppleganger would appear on the otherside, and I would tell him. "Try to help the others get out... if you have to, make an exit."

He nodded and proceeded to go down below deck, while I examined the woman's predicament in closer detail... if I moved the wood, she could possibly bleed out. But we didn't have too much time before the whole ship went down.

(OOC: Str: 15 (35+6) | Dex: 22 (51+6) | Con: 15 (72) | Wis: 24 (33) | Spr: 35 (43) )

Odd jobs. Sometimes they really were ones that I'd rather not do, having to take me so far from the one that I loved. That said, the pay was usually more than generous, and I knew it would make Katsumi happy that she wouldn't have to work so hard for a little while longer.

A storm soon came upon our ship as we were beginning to near the mainland, and I was standing atop the deck, doing my best with my Musou to attempt to hold the sails together, but it didn't seem to be going as I planned...

Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap.

That was all I could think as all of the chaos ensued around us. DARKNESS FROM ABOVE! FIRE FROM BELOW! AND KATSUMI'S TEARS! IT WAS AN ATTACK ON THREE FRONTS BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY!

As Katsumi created her whirlwind around us, I would hold onto her tightly, channeling all of the energy I could around us to create a sphere of light to encase us in to protect us from all threats. As the darkness beat down upon us, it would strain me to hold this up, but combined with her whirlwind, we would manage to pull through it.

And then came Yukimura's fire bursting from the ground. It would collide against the sphere, and I was already exhausted from defending against Takehiro. The sphere would begin to crack as my energy was waning, but I would do my very best to hold it, hoping Katsumi's Musou could keep it up. The fire was already causing the temperature to become unbearable, let alone if this sphere broke we'd be roasted. AND THE FISTS ON TOP OF US SMASHING AT THE SHIELD WEREN'T HELPING EITHER.

"It's okay, Katsumi-chan... don't cry... you didn't do anything wrong. And I'm going to protect you no matter what."

I'd keep holding her, giving her a reassuring smile despite the fatigue starting to set in, and the sweat pouring from my forehead. I wasn't used to exerting my energy this much, and this shield took a lot out of me with the constant beating it was taking. I had to hold it just long enough to get away from their assault... if only so she wouldn't get hurt. If this shield held, I didn't care how tired or exhausted I became. I didn't want her to be attacked by the dark, or burnt by the flames.

Through the shield, I could see Yukimura raging. Boy, oh boy, was he pissed. I hoped Takehiro would do something about that.

Takehiro was quick to react, his own doppleganger slamming into mine before he could release his attack! At least he stopped us from copyright infringement! My doppleganger would grab his, angling them in midair so that the light lance would pierce them both instead of just him. This would send them to the ground in a heap, but seeing as they felt no pain... well, my doppleganger would start wailing on Takehiro's.

Meanwhile, Takehiro was pushing my attacks away with relative ease, binding my legs. I was pulled down off of my feet, looking up to see a dark hammer above me. Oh crap.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM, YOU SONS-A-BITCHES!"

"Eh?" I looked over surprised at the source of the voice, only to be met with a gigantic whirlwind. It pushed me forcefully, causing me to avoid the hammer smashing down. "K-K-K-KATSUMI-CHAAAAN!" I would scream as I was flung into the air, traveling a short distance before the dark shackles would reach the limit of their length before slamming me down onto the ground, resulting in a face full of sand.

My girlfriend was so scary when pissed. Izanagi help us all.

My eyes widened as Takehiro's darkness tendril shot out. Holy crap, was he good at focusing his Musou into a deadly attack with the greatest of ease. I would quickly roll to the side, narrowly avoiding his tendril. At the same time, I would channel my energy into my right hand, and as my roll finished, a lance made of pure energy would be in my hand. I would throw it straight for Takehiro, that mass of light shooting straight across the desert sands swiftly.

Nearby, I could see Yukimura, and I was surprised to see him way out here. "Yukimura-san? Is that you?" I wondered if he'd merely watch, or want to join in. What was he doing in the desert randomly?

I placed my hands together, bowing in respect. "Ahh, Takehiro! You've arrived! So I hear you're a Daimyo now, that's pretty crazy. Should I call you Amakusa-sama now?" I grinned as I stood back up straight. It was strange being on such good terms with a Lord like this, but I saw no reason for us to put our friendship aside. Takehiro wasn't the type to demand respect through his name, it was a person's actions that he paid attention to.

"I understand that you too have awakened a great power within you. I'd like for the chance to test my spiritual abilities against your own."

Light versus Dark. The day against the night. I was curious how it would play out, or even where I stood against Takehiro's abilities. My abilities at Numa were subpar compared to his, I wondered if I would prove inadequate in a spiritual battle as well.

Well, of course they'd be staring. It's not normal to use a human as a wheel.

"It's not normal to use a human as a wheel."

That said, were we supposed to find Nobunaga in a random hut or something? He was the Daimyo of the Oda army, why would he still be living in Owari? The encampment was a bit further off, unless we randomly ran into him or something.

A guy would walk by Takehiro, staring angrily. "Your face is uncivilized."

I gave a small smirk behind my mask. Shou really considered me to be a deadly force, huh? It meant my disguise was as intended, at the least. That said, without my armor I was nothing. He could probably take me out without it. If I ever strayed, that was probably his key to beating me. I was curious about what his own way was, but I felt it better to not know for now.

"With people like you around, the Takeda have some good retainers. I get this feeling from you... one day, you'll be quite strong, Yamabara-san."

Ensuring the villagers were safe, I would do one last check to make sure everyone was out. Katsumi was hesitant, but I assured her it was something I had to do. I felt like I was being tested again, maybe this was.

I looked up, seeing the sun become visible through the clouds. Yes, this would be perfect. My doppleganger seemed to pick up on my thoughts, and he began to drag the monsters into the sunlight, while my own hands shot out to try and encase the creatures in a dome of light to ensure they didn't cause too much more damage. Once in the sunlight, I would smash them together again, my doppleganger aiding me the best he could.

A villager had directed me in the direction of the tavern, and quickly I ran towards it, still calling out for Masahiro. Before I could come inside, I was greeted with a figure approaching me first, and I skidded to a halt.

"M... Masahiro... You're alive!"

I took a step towards him, he definitely looked like he had seen better days. A tinge of regret had filled me as I looked upon him, and I looked to the ground, clenching my fists.

"I'm sorry... If only I was there to watch your back, maybe this wouldn't have..."
