Race: Draconid
Gender/Sex: Female
Age: Unknow
Appearance:
Class: Archmage Priest
Equipment: The traditional attire of a miko would be a pair of red hakama (long, divided trousers) or a long, red, slightly pleated skirt tied with a bow, a white haori (kimono jacket), and some white or red hair ribbons. In Tenshiism, the color white symbolizes purity. Traditional Miko tools include azusayumi (梓弓 or “catalpa bow”) the tamagushi (玉串 or “offertory sakaki-tree branches”) and the gehōbako (外法箱 or the “supernatural box that contains dolls, animal and human skulls ... Tenshiism prayer beads”). The miko also use bells, drums, candles, and bowls of rice in ceremonies.
Skills: Ruling a mighty empire from the shadows with an iron fist. A charismatic nature and she can create, shape and manipulate fire, the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products, flame being the visible portion of the fire. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.
Weaknesses: Can be overpowered by Water Manipulation, Water Generation, Ice Manipulation and/or Freezing.
Bio: Kōgyoku's ascendancy marked a period of intense struggle in the empire, as nobles positioned themselves to overthrow her. Most said Kōgyoku was too young and inexperienced to hold power, but she proved to be an adept player of the Game of Thrones. She hinted at the possibility of marriage to several powerful families, while ultimately marrying no one; yet she continued to maintain alliances with these families. Today, there are still many nobles who consider Kōgyoku's rule illegitimate but no one dares to say it.
She was responsible for the creation of many of the practices and traditions of the Imperial court, since she was instructed in many bardic arts; not only in terms of cunning and manipulation, but also in combat skills like archery and knifework. Another such creation was her personal guard, the Empress Arm, who were one of the main precursors of the Imperial Guard.
Kōgyoku has inspired something of a cultural renaissance in the Empire. She has been a fervent patron of education and the arts. In particular, the Hankō, Terakoya and the Kabuki theater owe much of their current reputation to her rule. Before Kōgyoku's intervention, the Hankō and Terakoya was severely stifled by the cleric's limitations and served mostly as a dumping ground for the younger children of the lesser nobility. After Kōgyoku was crowned empress, she announced her intention to study at the university herself. She also arranged to lessen the cleric's restriction on theological studies. The Education of Akou is now one of the most prestigious institutions in the World, respected for its studies on nature, magic, history, and the arts and attracting nobles from several nations. Kōgyoku similarly lifted all restrictions on the Kabuki, announcing that artistic freedoms should not be constrained by worldly concerns.

You haven't read the wiki don't cha? If you read it you will know that the Empress has no political power at all, she is just the religious head of the Akounteen and one member of the Triarchy that rules the Empire who will burn the continent.

I made the wiki, so yes, i have, it is one of my constantly opened tabs
but to quote your app "Ruling a mighty empire from the shadows with an iron fist" in the skills list, furthermore you say that she has no power, yet you write that she is one of the 3 that rules it.

Snarkiness will not get you anywhere with me, so stop it
and as for how the holy roman empire was ruled, i refer to future history teacher you-know-who-you-are, my history speciality is warfare, and the last 200 years of history.
The matter of the fact is that you have made a character that you have stated several times is partly leading the country, yet claiming she has now power. A contradictory statement to say the least.
Either she has power, de-jure, or de-facto, or she does not

Why shall i give you an explanation to you, are you the op? the leader of the dwarves? You are making fuss about an issue that was solved long ago.
And even in warfare there is always a holy order of zealots and psychopaths, inquisition.

I believe he is a Co-OP, and has every right to question it, and you have every responsibility to answer. If anyone believes you are being overpowered with your characters, actually, they have a right to question it.
Though I do believe Ever gave some kind of go-ahead for him to use the Empress.

Thank you, i retract my statement that the application by Cuprum went against the word of the OP, however, i still remain true in my belief that there are discrepancies in said application that makes it at this moment unacceptable.
OP right here. First off, the Shoguns are in control of the Akounate. The Empress sending this "ultimatum" is really just wind tbh. Also the Empress is a Nagi as specified in the Lore.
I'm starting to have second thoughts about this. I made it so that I began as all the base leaders.Shadowwell wrote:^^, there are similarities to the Elder scrolls, but that was merely a base, nearly every post or contribution to the Lore makes this its own.
thanks
