AMANOGAWA DYNASTY -- guide - wifewoof - 03-28-2022
THE AMANOGAWA DYNASTY
AMANOGAWA
The Amanogawa Dynasty is made up of 7 Families. Each was originally a god, but became either mortal or demi-gods. Mother Amaterasu gave them a choice of living as a god for the rest of eternity, or to dwell with the living below who know small wonders, who tend to their own lives, and make their own paths. Each Family has a trademark power, or theme, for their growing households. Each Family has a trademark business they are very protective of.
The Families (with possible Family Business Ideas)
Tachigami [Slash/Samurai&Dojo] | OPEN
Sakigami | RUN BY SHINIGAMI SAKIGAMI
Bakugami [Bomb/Explosives&Chemistry?] | OPEN
Yumigami [Moon/Detectives] | OPEN
Kazegami [Galestorm/Weather&??] | OPEN
Moegami [Inferno/??] | OPEN
Itegami [Blizzard/??] | OPEN
NOTE: these Families can have blood relations, but none of the Heads/Original Gods (now demi-gods) are blood related. Just very close, like brothers & sisters in arms.

TRADITIONS
THESE ARE FOR ALL THE FAMILIES TO CELEBRATE
Rising Sun Festival
This starts being celebrated at the 1st of the new year, a whole month to celebrate Mother Amaterasu. Mainly prayer, telling stories of Mother, feasts, and games. All Families merge at the main estate and have sleepovers, cuddle piles, bonfires, games, and all sorts of things.
FALLING MOON FESTIVAL
Same as Rising Sun, but on the last month of the year. Celebrates life, and new beginnings. More somber, yet joyful time. Exchange presents, and more.
RANK CEREMONY
The official ceremony for when a member moves up rank, whether in Dynasty or in Families. This is for all the factions. It's a day celebration of a feast and stories.
EXECUTIONS AND EXILES
Exile is more likely than Execution. Exile is declared when Treason within the Dynasty happens, or when they break the Beyond Rules. The Ceremony of the Damned is where the ceremonial declaration of Exile is given, and the entire ex-member's Dynasty History is burned in front them and branded as a Forgotten. The Shogun turns back, and ignores any brawls between members and the Forgotten. The Forgotten is chased out and if seen is virtually invisible.
Executions are extremely rare. The Ceremony of the Damned doesn't change until after being branded a Forgotten, instead of turning away, One Bushido is chosen to commence an Execution. If all refuse, the Shogun does it themselves. After the Execution, the body is dragged to an empty piece of land, dumped and left to rot.
Both the Executed and Exiled are never mentioned ever again. It's considered taboo and bad luck to ever say their True Names again.
Family Exile is less glamorous, but still involves being wiped from Dynasty/Family History. No Executions happen in Families, all are done by Dynasty Law at the Estates.

Recent: Shinigami is officially Kizoku, current overarching goal is setting up Pitt/Sakigami relations.
SAKIGAMI FAMILY
The 3 siblings that started the family were born of the Mother of All that is Good, Amaterasu. These 3 siblings had 3 powers split between them, all known collectively as Greensprout. These 3 siblings set off into the world in body's of their choosing and made themselves their slice of the mortal realm.
The Sakigami Family has been recently started in the Beyond as of 2022. It is a family of demi-gods who can control nature elements. They have a small estate where small family meetings happen, and where the main family gardens are. The gardens are used to cultivate all types of plants, even those that are not indigenous. The Family sells these plants as the family business, from normal herbs to ornate flowers to even dangerous flora, and learn about cross-pollination combinations and try to make different breeds of plants. A family of gardeners and botanists.
SAKIGAMI RULES
✿ Kizoku word is Law. If it is disobeyed, consequences will be suitable for the offense. Shogun is ultimate law.
✿ Flora and Fauna are to work in harmony, and any of the family that treats these beings with ill intentions are to be punished harshly.
✿ It is heavily preferred if the Sakigami name is passed down with litters, or hyphenated with adopted members pre-existing last names.
✿ Treason in the Family will lead to being declared Exiled and Wiped from Dynasty History.
✿ Competition for rank is encouraged.
✿ Every member is encouraged to have their own plot of land where they cultivate their own joy of whatever flora they like or identify with.
✿ Family Events can be suggested to the Kizoku, Fuku, or Niwashi.
✿ Family drama is kept in the family UNLESS it threatens the peace of other groups.
✿ Family members can have more than just nature inspired powers but it's heavily encouraged to have some kinda nature inspired power and then add onto that if they so wish if they're born into the family. Nature inspired power is not required if adopted in.
✿ Forms for higher ranks are with the Amanogawa Dyntasy post.

I'm low on muse for Kojin and don't have the energy to set up relations, so Shinigami is offical Sakigami Kizoku and needs to set up the Pitt/Sakigami relations. Kojin will hold Niwashi for the time being.
Also updating/fixing small mistakes in both guides
