As a child Gennosuke excelled at combat with a bokuto (a wooden sword) and also studied hard, his respect for the honour and traditions that his father had taught him made his resolve stronger and he strived to succeed.
By the age of 16 he was considered an adult by the sword masters that had taught him, he fell for a girl named okoi a daughter of his father’s friend and she had loved him since they where children, at the age of 18 he proposed to her and they married on a lake filled with lotus blossoms in the view of a beautiful pale moonlight for a time he was happy, but after his father fell ill his brother takada plotted to kill his brother for the power he would one day inherit, from that day forward Gennosuke was attacked by samurai assassins at ever step protected only by his retainer Yashamaru and his own blade.

His only companion was his retainer Yashamaru, time past but takada became paranoid and decided to kill Gennosuke instead. As they travelled and fought of various ninja and samurai assassins they searched for a way powerful enough to free his people from takada’s iron rule.
During this time Gennosuke trained his skill improving and his wisdom growing but underneath grew a bitterness of epic proportions and his honour was becoming his downfall, because of his honour he would fight rather then escape his eyes blinded by a deep longing for his love Okoi and for his so called honour to be restored.
Living the life of a so called exile Gennosuke began to live for the next fight, against the better judgement of his retainer he would fight recklessly without a care if he died.
Time past and before Gennosuke knew it 2 years had past and he was coming up to his 23 birthday, Meanwhile at the home of shogun the shogun was finally succumbing to the deadly disease that had ravaged most of his body, Although takada already pretty much ruled his father kingdom his death meant that his brother would be made shogun, and fearing this he hired a group of powerful shinobi to kill him.
Act iii -The death of a friend
While visiting a small town Gennosuke and his retainer where attacked, as usual Gennosuke pride made him blind to the threat the new foes posed rushing head long in Gennosuke learn the hard way about the shinobi’s magic Jutsu, after one of the spells made the shinobi’s blade turn to fire.
During the fight Gennosuke’s own sword was broken and his arm broken, as the rain began to fall Gennosuke smiled but his smile was in vain the magic flame was not extinguished and his opponent rushed forward, as Gennosuke closed his eyes ready to embrace death he felt he had failed.
after a moment he opened his eye to find Yashamaru had taken the mortal blow as his friend and protector fell Gennosuke grabbed him as the shinobi backed of laughing with his 2 companions, as Gennosuke held his friend for what seemed like an eternity Yashamaru made him promise to never let his pride get the better of him because a true leader of the people would put his people first and his pride second, as Gennosuke eyes filled with tears he promised Yashamaru that he would take his advise and honour it as a last request of his dieing friend as Yashamaru’s eyes closed for the last time and death took him, he died smiling knowing his death was not in vain.
As Gennosuke stood he reached for his father’s blade he had taken so many years ago.
Holding it his could feel the power it contained with in the power of his family line and the generations of shoguns it had served holding it, it spoke to him and said “I am senbonzaki you are worthy” this was the one and only time it would speak but Gennosuke knew that it meant he was worthy to weald it, as he held it instinct took over and he rushed forward his speed was incredible and in a single stroke his opponent was dead. As the other shinobi saw what had happened they too used there magic one started shooting huge spikes of ice and the other became invisible.
as the spike fired toward him his blade shattered into what looked like cherry blossoms and the ice spike and its caster was shredded into a million peaces, as he closed his eyes and his sword reformed he focused his senses letting his ears guide him he moved forward and struck, as he opened his eyes he watched as the shinobi fell he had won but the price was his friends life and he him self was seriously wounded.
Act IV – battle of brothers
As he limped into a near by forest he fell into a small stream as he lay with his back in the water, he fell unconscious and the sword began to heal him but very slowly.
as he lay in a delirium the visions of his fallen comrade and his lost love haunted him, after what seemed like months he awoke his major wounds where not life threatening now but he was done with running he would return and take back his kingdom not for himself anymore but for the sake of all the people that suffered under his brothers rule, on that day he made an oath to serve them and no longer serve his own petty needs, travelling to his former home he disguised his self as a beggar once in the city he found samurai loyal to him and began to distil dissension in the ranks of the samurai loyal to his brother, as time grew the dissension lead to infighting and at last a rebellion occurred, seizing this chance he confronted his brother takada.
At first they talked but only greed and hatred dwelled within takada and he even admitted to poisoning the shogun in the first place, stepping forward Gennosuke drew senbonzaki and said
“All those who stand against the people shall be cut down”
His brother drew his sword and as he held it outstretched it began to distort in to a huge demonic blade, as Gennosuke stared at it he couldn’t help but be drawn to it holding he sword tightly he charged and after a battle of immense proportion he began to win his resolve and will replacing where only his pride stood as he landed the finishing blow he turned to see okoi and was shocked as she hit him around the head with an ornament from his brothers collection that scattered the hall they had fought in, as he fell okoi grabbed him in her arms and said
“This is for us my love”
Act v – life of a loved one
As he awoke he remember nothing only that his name was Gennosuke and he loved okoi, as he searched his surrounding he found that he was on a farm, okoi told him they where married and that they lived on this farm, as his mysterious amnesia seemed to never leave he decided to live his life, he farmed the land planting and sowing it he found a sense of serenity in the life he lead and in the women he loved but time past and okoi grew old while he remained the same as when he had awoke.
As time passed she grew more old and frail, but he loved her the same and when she finally passed away his heart went with her.
As he began to search her things for a reminder of her he found a not that said
my dear Gennosuke I struggle to find the words I must tell you, I’m sorry for lying to you for all these years your amnesia wasn’t because of your head wound it was from a mixture of herbs my father showed me to mix if you are reading this I’m probably dead and I don’t want you to live a life of solitude I want you to aspire to greatness till we are reunited in the afterlife, I buried your swords under the house. Live long my darling I shall hold you in my heart till we meat in the afterlife
As he started to cry he fell to his knees and wept his last tear and made a promise to her even thou she was dead he knew she was watching him from the afterlife.
After digging up the swords he started to remember the life he had lead before and why she had wanted him to herself, He realized that it was senbonzaki that had mad him no longer age, as he had promised to protect the people senbonzaki had decided to protect him even thou it was buried he still felt the link on some subconscious level.
Gathering some of the possessions they had sheared in there 56 years living in this farm house he buried them and burnt the house, taking only 5 things his wedding ring, his scarf okoi had made for him when they where young and Yashamaru’s ring he had taken when his friend had died, that and the 2 sword he had, one was his and the other his brothers but his brothers was wrapped in cloth because of the evil it represented.
Act VI – taming Balthazar
Returning to his former home he discovered the people where ruled over by a wise and noble shogun there was no need for him. Travelling to the mountains in the north he found a cave trapping him self inside he placed senbonzaki down it was time to learn how to wield its sister blade Balthazar.
Removing the wrapping he looked at the blade it was the same as senbonzaki in every feature except the gem in the centre was a different shape as he touched it he felt the hatred and greed of his brother.
Holding it tight it burned his hands and gave him visions of madness that haunted his very soul, holding it tighter his shadow began to distort and changed into a person the inner demon of his family the Balthazar. He remembered that in a time before his family ruled the previous shoguns sorcerer had placed a curse on his line that a demon called Balthazar would haunt there line because of the fact that the childless shogun had chose there family to rule after him and not his loyal sorcerer .
After his creation Balthazar killed the sorcerer for even daring to try to tame him. And as he had walked the streets burned and be was finally defeated by Gennosuke’s great great grandfather Takeya and sealed within the demon blade and the blade was sealed in the vault but it seamed that Gennosuke’s brother had released him and was consumed by the demon blade.
Now that same evil was trying to take over Gennosuke. As the Balthazar took shape it walked out of the shadow and drew a blade that looked identical to the sword Gennosuke was holing as they began to fight the cavern shook and began to crumble.
With every stroke Gennosuke struck at the demon he returned an attack twice as powerful, seeing only one way Gennosuke rolled and grabbed senbonzaki holding the two swords he rushed forward but the demon was to powerful and Gennosuke was getting angry.
As he fought he realised that his rage only made the demon stronger, closing he’s eyes and holing his sword in front of his face he waited for the demons blow but it never came with out Gennosuke’s rage to feed on it had fallen on one knee walking over Gennosuke said
“I no longer fight for pride and rage now I am calm inside as I have lived a life with my love watching the cherry blossoms bloom every year with her and I tell you even in death she was more beautiful then all of the years of blossoms combined after seeing such beauty how can I fight for my own selfish pride”
As he stepped forward the Balthazar seemed to merge with the blade once more and said
“I will serve you call on my power when you need it but if you ever forget what you said about your dead love I will return”
With that Gennosuke dropped down, he had won and not because of his skill or power but because of his love for a woman he would always hold dear in his heart.
Act vii – a time of solitude and a time of war
Gennosuke now with his twin blades decided to not return to the capital of his people instead to live in solitude and watch and if a time came when he was needed he would come in a shape and form that suited the event.
Time passed over a hundred years he lived in a small shack in the mountains isolated from any kind of contact with the outside world only leaving once in a while for food and supplies he enjoyed the peace and kept his training vigorous in-case he would ever be needed by his people.
One year he came for supplies when he found out that a minor war had broke out over territorial disputes and that the shinobi had invaded a place he had once called home in the years that followed he fault in secret as a mysterious warrior never leaving an opponent alive to tell the tail. But even with his power he couldn’t stop his people becoming nothing better then travellers to the world with no home to go to.
Watching as his once glorious people became intertwined with the other race his heart sank. Returning to his home his heart broken by the indignities of his people and the destruction of all he as a child held dear the places he sheared his live with okoi with all gone and that made him angry holding his sword he know that the Balthazar would come if he continued so he stood atop his mountain home and decided to aid the humans in the war they where about to have with the shinobi. Disusing him self as a samurai mercenary he fought beside the humans. As the war escalated Gennosuke was fighting on a daily basis years passed but one day would forever be lodged in his mind for ever the day Brightvale fell Gennosuke had been on the streets fighting when it happened a spell of epic proportions as he felt the skin burnt from his body he fell among the dead his body now one of many that now littered the once proud city, as he lay there for a while his body regenerating for what seemed ages he remembered the feeling of helplessness that shacked him to his bone the same feeling he had had on the night Yashamaru died but instead of felling like a failure he felt proud to have lived such a wondrous life, as he healed and the battles continued he will always remember that day as one of the worst of his life and one of the most eye opening.
Act viii- a new age
As the fighting continued it seemed that the humans where going to fall there king dead and most of three people where dead, but a human named Orion brought peace to the land once more doing something Gennosuke could not. As the leader meet to discuss peace Gennosuke knew that his people where in need of a leader and he would try once again to lead them to a new golden age as the human king was.
As he talked the older samurai laughed at his clam but after revealing the swords that only the shogun can carry they stared in amazement as time passed on and Gennosuke finally gained there trust he was finally rewarded for his life’s work. Only one thing remained he moved his wife’s remains to the new capital and they where the first to be buried in the royal burial chambers.
Now hoping to rule he’s people with the wisdom and fairness he had witnessed throughout his life he felt a sense of wisdom at his life’s work at last the shogun had returned to rule over his people once more.
