Haven't posted anything here in quite awhile, but I'm hoping HW will renew my vigor for RP. ;3
This is Umeyae, who I'm desperately trying to hit 50 with and get through the MSQ to HW. ;.;

And Kakumei, a male of the same clan who is also way behind in content. Yay for never leveling my alts. -_-

I'm trying to put together a tumblr page to compile their clan lore, but at the moment, I have that they are both from a clan that live isolated up in the mountains and have a spiritual practice of Onarigami (the belief that spiritual power is the domain of women), and thus function with a particular sort of hierarchy that consists of powerful females of three spiritual branches--Star-gazers, Dream-gazers, and Speakers for the Dead--, while the men serve as protectors of the priestesses or workers who tend to the land.
Umeyae was born in the spring when the plum blossoms were in full bloom (from which her name was derived), though the Star-gazers (the priestesses who preside over the realm of Future and Fate) foresaw that she would be stillborn. Fortunately for her, she was unexpectedly revived sometime after the tragic delivery and inherited the title/surname "Kakurei", their term for the honored dead. Though technically she was born under the right star that gifted her with the power of a Star-gazer, the circumstance of her still-birth has thrust her into the official role of a Speaker for the Dead, as she was seen as a being who returned to them from the Afterworld and has the strongest affinity to Death. Her personality isn't fully sorted out yet, but she is a bit of a foodie, and is a skilled Koto player with some knowledge of the shamisen.
Kakumei was born without a name, simply placed into the house of the Mamori, the protectors of their people. His name would not be given until he reached adulthood, as was their practice for their males whose sole purpose in life was to be the supporting foundation for the village and their priestesses. At a certain point after his coming-of-age, he was separated from their clan and has since been in service to a people not his own (still working out those details as I sift through lore). He is a very neutral sort, some might say aloof or apathetic, and likes to work with his hands. Currently, I see him as a craftsman of sorts and a tinkerer, and aim to make him a Machinist, though I don't think that will necessarily be IC.
Still working out the kinks with the both of them, and I have lots more info on their clan, but it would take forever to spew out. But there they are~
