    Arashi-gumi

    By ShoggMommy,

    About the Arashi-gumi

    Who are the Arashi-gumi? 
    -The Arashi-gumi are a hingan-based crime syndicate (yakuza) lead by Nohni Vhaze (Cho Kutsuki).

    What are their goals? 
    -The Arashi-gumi’s focus is the extortion and illegal trade of rare hingasalts, minerals, and herbs from the Hingan regions of Othard. 

    When were they established? 
    -Relatively recently. 

    Where are they located? 
    -Uranami Onsen, Mist District of La Noscea.

    Why do they exist? 
    -With war threatening upon the horizon of Doma’s recent perceived “betrayal” to the Garleans by summoning a primal; the proprietress of Uranami-Onsen has had her trade stifled by increased taxes and darker personal rumors. Unfortunately such actions have forced the Onsen to seek other less legal methods of trade. Meanwhile, Uranami-Onsen itself remains as a legitimate and working business.
    How do I join them? 
    -By contacting Nohni Vhaze, Ira'to Zeerrha or Oswin Mercer in game. Please note that information presented here is not common IC knowledge. 

    Ranks:

    Rules

    Respecting Elders:
    -Respect the Oyabun and your Lieutenants. Do not mouth off, insult or otherwise disrespect your employers’ and their ranking file. 

    Respecting your Brothers: 
    -Treat your fellow Kyodai and Shatei with respect not doing so breaks our brotherly bonds. Infighting and disharmony  is strictly forbidden and will result in sharp penalties for all those involved. Nakai and Kokyaku are the lifeblood of the Onsen, do not treat them lesser. Without our staff and honored patrons; we do not exist. 

    Petty Acts of Crime & Murder:
    -Do not steal, commit robbery, shoplifting, trespassing, wantonly murder, or harm innocent civilians. We are better than this. Petty crime draws unwanted attention to our family and will not be tolerated.

    Indecent Acts & Cowardice: 
    -Remember the honor of our family. Do not involve yourself with indecent acts. Do not act with cowardice. Honor above all. 

    Concerning Drugs: 
    -Do not partake of illegal drugs, spice, moko, somnus, etc. Do not deal in drugs. This dishonors our family, sullies the mind and soul of our brothers. 

    Offer Succor to those in Need: 
    -We are to provide succor& aide to those who are in need. The innocent among both Eorzea and Othard are welcome to find shelter among us. The unrighteous shall not be suffered to live for harming innocent lives.

    Act with Honor… Always:
    -When you become an initiate of our family, you are expected to uphold honor and these rules. You wear our name as your’s, do not sully it. Should you dishonor the family you acknowledge that punishments may ensue. 

    Infractions: 
    -Infractions may range from a sharp word, to a meeting with the Oyabun, to that of a more serious punishment such as privileges removed, etc., rarely it may involve yubitsume. 

    Concerning Yubitsume 指詰め: 
    -Yubitsume, otherwise known as “finger shortening” is a hingan ritual that is intended for those in violation of incredibly serious ‘crimes’. It is a ritual that expects the violator to atone for their offenses. It is said to “show sincere apology and remorse”. These acts are to be expected without the demand of the Oyabun. 

    As explained on yakuzahistory; 
     
    Under the yakuza code there are two general forms of yubitsume. The first is shinu yubi, or “dead finger”, which is performed when a yakuza commits some sort of offense. The offender severs his finger with a tanto (a Japanese short sword) and offers it to his oyabun (boss) wrapped in a white napkin and placed in a box as payment for said offense. The second is iki yubi, or “living finger”, which is performed to avoid a conflict. In this scenario, the yakuza severing his finger is usually not responsible for the offense committed, and is offering his own finger as a means of conflict resolution. Since the direct offender does not offer the iki yubi, it is seen as a form of extreme and sincere loyalty.
     
    (This said please do not go cutting your pinkie off without talking to one of the officers… This act is intended for incredibly rare cases).

    Onsen Etiquette

    By ShoggMommy,

    Onsen Rules
    Mixed Baths:  Mixed Baths are only allowed in reserved private sento rooms or on specific days set by Uranami Onsen. Denizens that participate in Mixed Baths absolutely MUST wear bathing swimsuits or yugi which are garments that are designed for bathing. There is no exception to this rule.

    Showering:  Before entering an onsen, each guest is expected to wash and thoroughly rinse themselves before joining the hot-baths. There are bathing stations which you may use, including stools, buckets and toiletries. Please feel free to use the amenities. Make sure you completely rid yourself of dirt and soap before entering the spring.

    Concerning Swimwear:  Swimwear is required during Mixed Bath sessions regardless if in public baths or in private sento rooms. During same-sex bathing; a swimsuit is optional.
     
    Towels:  Guests are allowed to bring a small towel with them into the onsen, please only use the provided handtowels. You are welcome to use these as a small cover between the bath and spa if you so choose. Further we encourage spa-goers to place their damp hand towel on their head as it is quite comfortable! Large towels are only used to drape around you from the hanger in the onsen to the changing area.

    Smoking : Is not permitted in public baths. Please consider visiting our izakaya on our first level.

    Sexual Activities: Are absolutely prohibited in any part of Uranami Onsen, private or public. Please be aware this is your only warning. Should any member of staff find a guest participating in such actions you will be asked to leave and will be escorted from the premises. (OOC Note: We are not an ERP guild.)

    Safety:  Please do not submerse your head into the spa. Horseplay and Running in the bath are absolutely not allowed. Do not splash, disturb other spa-goers or create exceptional noise. Social chatter is welcomed and encouraged! Should you begin to feel dizzy or light headed please consider taking a break. It is easy to get overwhelmed or overheated and black out if you are not used to the warmth and minerals in our baths.

    -Do not be belligerent
