#igasato

Hello everyone!

I’m changing my name from Milky Nokcha to Iggysato.

It’s more just for personal reasons… I wanted a more comfortable and less sophisticated name. Plus I think it’s less confusing as it doesn’t mix languages and it rolls off the tongue like a real name! 

Aaaaannd Igasato has become my username for a few places (Unison League cough) and I love Saizo (of course), so I gotta reference him everywhere LOL

Our clan is the enforcer of Castle Shirasagi’s will. Without question, our ninja will serve the Royal Family, no matter what service they require.

“As the agents of Hoshido’s command, the ninja of Igasato are taught to execute their orders without second thought. Though an order is always born of politics, ninja are purposely kept out of the loop as to the grand scheme of any given plan, to ensure that personal views cannot clash with the importance of their mission. Though it may seem to an outsider as if we are mindless dogs, ready to bark and attack at our master’s will, we take great pride in our abilities and positions, as our ancestors had before us. The manner in which they are kept in the dark is of utmost importance, as a rogue ninja can inflict severe damage upon civilians and soldiers alike before he can be caught.

“An exception to this is the Saizo, who conducts internal affairs on top of striving to be the best of his people. It is a title passed through the Saizo family, carrying the responsibilities worthy of the name. The Saizo is the head of the clan, responsible for the quality of his troops. Should a ninja become too autonomous, it is the Saizo’s job to correct such behavior before seeds of a rebellion can be sown. There is always a way in which a ninja can make an individual disappear, be it sudden illness, or a mission that leads to certain death by the Saizo himself. In this manner, the clockwork of Igasato can continue to tick uninterruptedly, forever the tool with which Shirasagi can rule over Hoshido without fail.

“Ninja are the weapon with which Hoshido can keep its hands clean. Hoshido uses a fear akin to that of ghosts to keep wrongdoers in check; every delinquent fears the ears that can hear all, and the eyes that can see even though the darkest of night. But, of course, these abilities are not all just rumor. The best Igasatian ninja are experts in every type of deception and stealth. One has been stationed in Windmire for fifteen years, presenting himself as the lover to a rich nobleman, all the while reporting every single move in her constituency. We are taught to infiltrate, deceive, and sabotage operations of any kind.

“Even if you could manage to capture one, Igasatian ninja are of no use to you. Ninja are forbidden from leaving the village until they have proven that they will not leak, when pushed to their very limit. No matter how cruel the torture, a ninja will not give you as much as their name, assuming they have not taken their own life before they can be questioned. To leak is a fate worse than the most shameful of actions.

“That is what you face.
