>> Even in this urban jungle...

"AH, my lord, you enquire after his righteous and most loved personage, Our Guardian General, the ever honourable Kyobeimaru Koning? The Thundering Hammer of the Golden Heavens, March Lord of the Demon Hundred's Parade, Lord Guardian General of the Azure Jade Lions Emerald Court, known as Ten-Roaring-Bells-at-Daybreak, he is truly a hero amongst heroes, the General Kyobeimaru-sama is our stalwart titan who leads from the front and the embodiment of our two hemispheres working together in harmony against the End. A giant of financial strength and a greatly respected individual for his work in law enforcement, he is a paragon of virtue in this humble court. Even with silver showing in his flowing mane of gold, he is still unhurt and unbowed by the travails of time. His is a long and epic saga which would take many turns of Her Holy Empress Luna to recount, my lords and ladies. His Deed-name and Titles are more than well-earned and warranted, from his time in the wilds of Afrika, to his wanderings in the Mad West and through the Emerald Wilds of Asia from the Land of the Rising Sun. And, now, there he stands at Kereihime-sama's right hand... Do you wish to discuss some private matter with his august person, my lord? I, ever your humble servant, could attempt to arrange a private audience with the Lord General, if you so wish..."

Notes:
* Doom's Melodious Chimes : (Level 6, Gnosis 8) Fetish Weapon, macestaff, counts as a Grand Klaive. Koning's weapon and symbol of office is as long as the average human is tall, which is roughly 6', and resembles an unspiked medieval morningstar. Its head is a solid sphere with ten shaallow 'wells' bored into it. Suspended inside each well is a clear jade bell. The tapering shaft is made of Japanese white oak with silver engravings along its length and wrapped in fine black and white silk. Just a half inch below where the shaft meets the head is tied an intricately knotted charm of red cord. This unique fetish weapon is inhabited by no less than three great Wisdom spirits: Thunderous-Roar-Upon-Earth (Storm), Font-of-Battle's-Blood (War) and Spectre-From-The-Darkess (Death). These three spirits may physically manifest within 30' of the grand klaive, and may actually affect the physical realm in any way should they so choose. They also form a part of his War Councils, providing advice and insight when needed.
The Doom's Melodious Chimes grants five bonus Traits in combat, inflicts two extra levels of aggravated damage and possess two powers, of which the wielder may use only one once per scene:
- the Heaven's Cacophonous Roar, which is activated by either slamming the butt into the ground or by swinging the macestaff in a full circle, that emulates the Shriek gift but in the form of a thunderclap and, in addition, stuns people within 6' of the wielder for a number of turns equal to half the wielder's Gnosis.
- the Abyss' Muted Scream, which can be activated by striking an enemy which will trigger a contested challenge using Gnosis to part the enemy from its soul. If the wielder is successful, the target dies instantly from a lightning strike and a Shriek is produced that affects all within 3 paces of the target. If the wielder is unsuccessful, he will take equal damage to what he has inflicted upon his target
The three spirits who inhabit the macestaff are of Incarnae levels, so STs please use your own discretion for their stats.
