I'll Make a Man(ji) out of you : "I don't remember what happened to me before then, but I know I woke up sticky and in a dark hole. These people called themselves Manji, but want to rule over this country. That is not what the Manji stands for. We have always been servants to the people. We do what no others will. That is our way.

So I burned down their temple. I'm not gonna listen to no crazy people thinkin' they know what's up. I know what's up. I am what's up."

[Mission] From Under The Ground

[Travel] To Magnolia

[Travel] To Orchidia

Visiting Your Grave "I never expected the shrine here to be so pretty. Maybe I under estimated all my lil peasants. Maybe they did good. Besides this place gave me Zuzu and gave me Kanya. She's a little crazy and likes when I'm covered in blood. She says it makes her feel funny, but a good funny. I think she makes me feel a good funny too. That or I'm hungry. I really should have eaten before I got here. . . "

On A Leash- "She's not so different than me. Kanya, miss Kanya Vivi. She will teach me the feelings mortals feel. If I can learn to feel, then I will learn to enjoy this life. I will serve her, until I can no longer, for as long as her promise rings true. However, if she betrays me, then I will gladly feast upon her soul . . . oh, her beautiful soul."

Nekomanji & Sharp Teeth - Nameless had came to the festival early to be first in line for food. She had decided that whatever the man was serving, she was buying. To her surprise she found what seemed to be a vampire, and a friend of Chisu. She left with a few bits of information of Chisu's real whereabouts before leaving to chase after Zuzu, who seemed to run away at the right, or wrong moment. Also blood.... there was blood.

Festival Watcher - "Humans are so weird. Just the other day I met this girl who tripped herself just to get out of a crowd. What a dumbass. She was kinda racist, but I dunno what human isn't. She was okay I guess."

The Dunk Tank - "That was fun. people got paid to get a pussy wet, all in good fun. I got a good pay too, I think I'll get some food, like ribs or a steak. Only a few winners today, thank god that the kids suck, they probably paid the most too. Oh well."

Wet Kitty - "Haruna. I dunno what it means but that girl said it was important. If she felt the need to tell me of all people, then her prayer was to watch over this person. I'll accept Zuzu hunting her pet as her payment. She was able to give Zuzu some experience at least, and for that I will see to this Haruna, whoever she is."

Most Wonderful Time of The Year - Nameless met a girl with the name of "Haruna" only to find her with the pet of the white haired girl. She didn't ask much to the reason, but suspected the previous owner was killed by demons or vampires or some other evil being. She took a liking to her being a neko, but later left her behind when she snuck away to get food.

Hello Kitty - Meeting Shura (Again)

I'll Spend All Nine Lives With You - Shopping With Kanya

Ring Toss - Nameless opens up a ring toss booth to make money to buy Kanya stuff. that's basically it. Also she drinks... a LOT.

I'm Gonna Scratch You! - ". . . If corrupt gave a fuck, then maybe this world wouldn't be so messed up. The Rune Knights don't communicate and they use their power to their own advantage. They're nothing more than liars who were put in a higher position than others. None of them are better than any other life. If you think about it, they're the real evil. They'll all die one day.

Everyone dies eventually."

You Are Notte The Father! - Notte... part 3?

Parasitic Intervention - Meeting Lacie and Tsuki?

All Fur You - Aoi

In Hushed Whispers - Nameless learns of the corruption and religious influence in Dahlia and takes an interest in it. Having burned down the Manji temple, she takes a liking to Santos and finds herself drawn to his church. How it ends for either side, will remain unknown until she gets there.

From Under The Ground -Nameless discovers that there is no real divide between good an evil. It doesn't matter who you serve, in the end the world will create balance. She would break open a few casket and coffins for the good of research. All of them were far too gone for her to feast, but she would return. She would eat a holy man soon enough, for a blessed meal would have a fine taste with wine.

"My home? Oh you mean Papa K's castle? That place was sooo cool! He has this massive estate where you can do anything on it and no one will bother you. And if ya stand on the balcony your eyes get all real tiny and you can see everywhere in his country. It's super cool! It's such a nice place and the weather is always perfect. What I miss the most about there is he had two different moons. So it was always the perfect weather to take a cat nap!"

Risen from a failing temple, Nameless arose from her slumber within a body that had all but bled out. Drenched in the blood of other sacrifices, she arose inhuman and much different than the Manji suspected.  In an attempt to try and awaken he god they thought they knew, they had awoke a different type of being. She set fire to the temple and wished for them to no longer continue. They were obsolete and nothing more than a project of inherited powers. Seeing as they all had been failed projects, she would cast aside all of them, only to focus on her true descendants; The Setsuna. With them, she would give rise to a new type of clan, one that would serve obediently instead of trying to plot to take over the throne.

And with it, a new goal. One for Neko's to rule, and the Setsuna to serve them all. It was these two bloodlines that would reign supreme.

The Gods:
Public Knowledge: (What is known to the general population)
- The Manji clan prays to the old gods. There is the great Nameless God, who provides those who honor them with second chances and redemption. There is the Dead God, the god who is father to the Manji clan and all that they possess and provide for. It is said that the great Nameless God was once a hero who saved Fiore from utter destruction, but whose name was weathered by time and forgotten.

Manji Knowledge: (What is believed by the clan)
- There are three gods. Each has their own name and title. There is Yukirochisu, the Nameless god. There is Fetus, the God of Warriors. And finally, Huashi, The Dead God. Often, the names of the gods are ignored and overshadowed by their titles, however some recordings of their existence has given some followers more than enough reason to honor them by name. It is known that long ago the Nameless good wandered Fiore, in search of a second chance. She had fell from great fame into a pit of evil and darkness. She had redeemed herself when she allied with others to save Fiore from a great threat. This was done with the Foolish God, Fetus, at her side. It was his courage that allowed her to pursue such a great goal. As for the Dead God, none are sure of his name, nor his purpose. He simply exists, and is not good, nor evil. He simply is.

True Tale: (The lost truth)
- The Dead God was an aged being who had outlived all of his companions and allies. There came a time when he settled down and made peace with his past. It was at this time he found his companion, and the Nameless God was conceived. It was at this point her first name, Yukirochisu Huashimamasume was given. While being a mouthful, had it's purpose. Her name was tied to her family, as well as her curse. Her surname being "Daughter-Of-The-Forest-(God)" was to remind her where she had came from. However, it was to this fact alone that she rebelled against her father. She had fought him and lost and fled from his domain. She was unaware of the curse that was bestowed upon her, and died upon leaving his world, only to awake in the body of another. With each death, she was born again into the carcass of another lost soul. She would fill the bodies of those who had died, her mind flooded with the memories of her new corpse. It was a matter of lifetimes that she soon lost her own true identity, and thus was born into the Nameless God.

She eventually found a companion named Fetus, who unknown to her, was a gift from her father, the Dead God. They would serve many adventures, and eventually retire. She had found refuge in a village in the country of Sin. They were a warrior clan who prospered in trading and crafting. She would live among them, eventually devoting her life to protect them, using their bodies for her own. They would soon honor her, never burring their dead, but instead offering the corpses to her to choose from.

It was the Manji Clan, and to this day she serves them.

Hierarchy:
Public Knowledge: (What is known to the general population)
- The Manji Clan is divided into two parts. Those that follow the religion, and those that belong to the clan. The clan is in charge of their following. The followers are all in blind devotion.

Manji Knowledge: (What is believed by the clan)
- The Manji Clan is divided into three major parts; The Bloodline, The Devoted, and The Following. Of these three, they belong into one of three categories; The Crown, The Shrinemaidens, The Eyes. Those that are of the Crown are coined as the rightful heir. They are always someone of the Bloodline, whom is one born of pure Manji blood. The Shrinemaidens are those who follow the teachings of the Crown and the Bloodline and serve them alone. They never question leadership, as it is something much beyond them. The Devoted are the next in line to the Crown, should no Bloodline Heir be present. They often participate in secret rituals revolving around various sacrifices. Of the Eyes and Following, they are simply people who pray to the god or gods for whatever reason. They are no more than eyes and ears that have offered themselves to the culture at one point.

NEKOS

They are fast, elegant, and always ready to perform. Nekos appear almost human except for their with cat-like ears, tails, and occasionally whiskers. They are slender and quick with a vast array of hair and eye colors of almost any combination. Many nekos have a cheerful personality, but among them, there are also pessimistic ones, as well as quiet intellectual ones. The neko society is a matriarchy with a long line of neko queens and princesses. They live in a social system in which females hold primary power, predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property at the specific exclusion of men, at least to a large degree. Their relationships are generally open and the concept of marriage is foreign to them but nekos have married before. They live in small permanent villages, usually on the fringes of forests where they hunt. Even though nekos are afraid of water, they can bathe when they mentally prepare themselves for a while. These nekos are considered domestic; however, there are some nekos that live deep in the forests and at the base of mountains which are far more barbaric known as wild nekos. It is not uncommon to see a neko in human societies as they have been generally accepted by the humans. Even though there are troubles with wild nekos, the Council understands that there are also 'wild' humans that cause trouble and that there are more good than bad nekos. Since the settled nekos don't cause trouble for humans, the Council has even permitted nekos to join the orders of the Rune Knight and become a guardian of the realm to serve the country of Fiore. There is large settlement called Nekomatana in the mountains of West Fiore, which can be considered the largest neko society in Fiore. Most humans that wander to this place come to find the Neko Oracle. The Neko Oracle is the ruler of Nekomatana and has the gift to turn a human into a neko once her trust has been gained. PERKS SOUNDLESS: Nekos move quietly like a cat. They produce absolutely no sound when moving at a speed below their rankings. The fastest nekos can therefore even dash around without making noise before they leap into target. NIGHT VISION: Felines are often creatures of the night. Nekos are able to see in the dark as though it is completely light out, similar to that of a real cat. This allows for them to be able to hunt their prey, no matter the lighting. NIMBLE: Hunters should not be slowed down by terrain. Nekos are known to be able to walk across any surface, as long as it is a solid. Even a small thread can be walked along, so long as it can support the neko's weight. CLAWS: Nekos can extend three Wolverine-like claws between their knuckles at will. When they slash with their claws the Strength is increased with 20%. They can't wield any weapon while using their claws however. AQUAPHOBIA: Cats aren't very fond of water, and neither are nekos. Not only will water strike fear into the heart of a neko, but they take extra damage from Water-type moves which is increased by two ranks in damage.

Follower of the Shrinemaiden
. . . Often people find themselves in need of a guide, or in need of an idol to inspire them. Those who are lost or ill, sometimes find themselves at a shrine belonging to the Nameless god. Some come in search of betterment, while others come to seek enlightenment. However, a small few will find themselves drawn to these places, not for their personal benefit, but rather, of the Shrine maidens.

In some cases, people come to these places of worship so often, they misplace the reason for their arrival. Lost, and stuck to routine they continue,
even if their request is completed and their wishes granted, they return for more. It is in these moments, some step up to help, while others are selected.

Repurposed Life
Many of the followers of the clan are devoted down to their core. This alone has costed many numbers of them and left them with a dwindled amount that was near to non existent.
Some shrine maidens even tended to other churches, temples and other religious buildings for their line of work to make a living. When it was heard that the great god was returning to the realm of the living, many pleaded for redemption and forgiveness for taking their time to care for other deities.

However a small few never strayed from this path.
A small cult following listened closely to any sound their god would make, resorting to some of the most twisted individuals. Some turned into murdering psychopaths, while others took much darker turns.

Risen Life
The Manji clan have been known to tether themselves to a spirit plane, exiting their body.
Often times this is to contact the deity that is known as "No-Name" or commonly referred to as "Nameless." It is regarded that those of the true Manji Bloodline can collect souls that were offered to the great god, with a price however. These souls are either offered, or collected by the same family.

Sometimes souls or spirits from this plane of existence try to free themselves, attempting to inhabit the body of those who prayed at the shrine to meet the deity. Most cases it lasts no more than a few seconds, with the longest issue recorded being over a minute and a half. However, some followers get greedy and attempt to return an offered soul back to the realm of the living.

It was a tradition that started with Chisu Lau Manji, the rightful heir of the clan. At least, that was the unanimous opinion of the clan.

In the world of Fiore, the few known survivors were slim and few. Three survivors, remained in Fiore to grant a new home to their people. Chisu, the crowned heir. Name` Les, the mudblood,
and Caitlyn, the adopted child. Few others were known to survive, but went to wander the world,
spreading word of their faith, rather than to aid in the rising of this new era.

It was by demise that the Manji would face an ill fate, but would find their answers from their Nameless god. They would all begin to serve under the guise of te guild of Phantom Lord, recording all of their adventures within a text in their own ancient tongue, only to be read to themselves. They would share these texts to each other,
and leave them to each other upon death. It was this tradition that would continue, long after the Crowned Heir fell. . .

And the True Heir would be reborn.

When the nameless being awoke within the vessel of the crowned heir, she was much less refined and mature than any of them had hoped. rather than being the several thousand year old deity, she had presented herself as no more than just under a century and a half year old. it was then that the Manji discovered their fault in the ritual, and tried to remind the being of their mission. In doing so, she had found all of them unrighteous and false. She very well knew of the Manji name, despite being from her own time long before they were established. She had told them that the Manji were to serve their masters, and not rule over them. In this act of defiance of them, she had burned down their temple, and set out to destroy every last Manji Shrine. The Manji, were no longer.

Instead, in her own project, she had seen the face of her oldest plaything, Caitlyn, the first of many of her experiments. She was a Setsuna, a being that was made with a transplanted heart, the source of magic, into another being. It was in this revival of life, the patient's hair would turn white, and their original identity lost. Some would dye their hair to hide this truth, while others foolishly embrace it.

This was a new era, and within the body of her heir, she too, was a Setsuna as well.
