Name of Island: Aityaia Island ( Pronounced Aye-Tie-E-Uh)
Size of Island: Medium-Large. (Think the size of Water–7)
Location: South Blue
Flora and Fauna: Aityaia Island is a resort type of island, well-kept and mostly dominated by its citizens. The Island is comprised mainly of its Capital City Maethen, as well as several wide stretching beaches and a few untamed, preserve like spots of jungle forestry. The city itself is comprised of precious stones, marble and granite polished to shimmer in the summer like sun.
Tropical by nature the trees of the island vary from types of palm and pine, and the plants are generally large, green and leafy. The preserves are large, but mostly explored and also well-kept for the protection of tourists and thrill seekers in a zoo like manner. Beasts natural to the island vary greatly, but are mostly warm weather breeds, Lizards, Snakes, Cats, Apes, Bugs, Birds, etc… commonplace jungle creatures. Due to the restrictions of the island, most of the wildlife is of average size since anything too large might be a threat.
Along with the typical tourists and islanders peddling their wares, the island is also home to two different groups. First you have the Bounty Hunter’s Guild, a place where even the finest warriors from the seas gather to hone their skills with hopes of becoming rich and famous the world over. The guild is known to contract hunters after notorious pirates and reputes itself with some of the largest collected bounties to this day.
The second school of this island is known as the Seirya School; the school was built on the site of a traditional Buddhist style temple among the other architecture of the island, the school definitely stands out. It’s been known for hundreds of years as one of the only places in the entire world where one can seek the accomplishment of Weapons mastery. Unlike the Hunter’s guild which is nestled right in the downtown of Maethen city, the Seirya School is located more to the outskirts and is an object of tranquility among the normal hustle and bustle of the busy island.
Little more than a whisper is the existence of another town on this Island; the town of the Shinobi, Rokkaku. Mostly thought to be a legend Rokkaku’s existence has never been confirmed, throughout the centuries some of the most infamous Assassins would claim to hail from Rokkaku however none would speak of its location. Who would expect such a place to be hidden within a paradise? Marines and Pirates alike have sought the legendary city of the assassin’s for centuries to no avail. To this day, only a few know of its location, and none would speak.
Inhabitants: The island natives fall into four categories, first are the business people; invested in some way in the casinos or various resorts that line the city’s streets. Make no mistake; the people here understand this place is a paradise and seek to reap every beli they can from a tourist.
The second are the tourists; those who are here seeking a chance to hit it rich or simply just get away from the stress of their normal lives. They can be found anywhere from laid out on the sparkling white sands, or indoors working the arm of a slot machine.
Third are the students and warriors who have decided to take up study with the Hunter’s Guild or the Seirya School. These hot blooded individuals clash occasionally and can lead to a wrath of destruction across the town.
Finally, we have the peace keepers. As a nation of the world government a small branch of Marines are stationed here in Aityaia. Despite being stationed here, the Marines facilities are not very large, neither is their force so many times they will leave smaller problems to be dealt with by the Hunters or the Seirya Students. The Marine captain stationed here is known to frequent the casinos and is rarely available when needed. However, they have been known to rally together during raids and have protected the island for hundreds of years.
NPCS: Governor Gran Agustus IV: The current and long reigning Governor of Maethen city. His family has directed and ran Aityaia for the last 6 generations. He is a tall, plain man with short cropped gray hair and brown eyes. He is known to be a fair leader and revels in the success of his home; he turns a blind eye to the corruption of the casinos and considers it to be a necessary evil for the success of the island. (NPC)
Marine Captain Frederick De’Avris: The current head of the Marine forces located on Aityaia Island, Captain De’Avris is well known as a hedonist and is constantly seeking to abuse the authority of his position on the island. Despite his pleasure seeking lifestyle, luckily no harm has come to his station and Marine HQ seems to have left him be. (NPC)
Mia Yagyu: Almost a myth among those of the Hunter’s Guild is the daughter of the guild’s former leader. Not much is known about her, however it is said that she continues to pull strings within the leadership of the Hunter’s Guild in her father’s place. (This character belongs to a friend who may or may not play. I simply wanted to create the possibility of her existence with this island as it was home to each of our characters, and the hunter’s guild was her idea.)
Sora Tokumi: Headmistress of the Seirya School, Ms. Tokumi is said to be as beautiful as she is deadly. Her family founded the school twelve generations ago with the goals of mastering all weaponry known to the world. She is said to be one of the few people in the world to carry the title of Weapons master. (This character belongs to my Wife, who may or may not play. However as with Mia, Seiryu School was her idea and I wanted to make sure her existence was preserved.)
Town(s)/Village(s)/City or Cities: The capital city of this Island is Maethen city: Named for the Goddess of Luck and Happiness, it’s a luxurious resort town built with shimmering marble and granite stone among the white beaches and tropical jungles of the natural Island. The architecture is mostly small, but built up around itself similar to old Spanish style settlements. Ripe with bars, restaurants, casinos and other forms of simple entertainment; the town is a thriving tourism hotspot. The tourist revenue is even said to bring in so much money that the citizens are able to live nearly tax free.
Rokkaku is known as the legendary city of the Shinobi, and the birthplace of Koga-Ryu Ninjutsu. Hidden amongst the would be tamed forests of Aityaia, between the northern mountains and the shore exists the small city. How it’s remained a mystery for all these centuries is hard to say, rumors float amongst the rest of the island from time to time but generally go unnoticed. However it’s widely believed the true rulers of Aityaia are the Koga-Ryu…
Missions: (Unsure of what these are as of yet)
Island History: Aityaia has been around for quite some time, serving as a summer weather tourist destination for the last several hundred years. As contributing nation of the World Government they are recognized worldwide, but mostly thought of as a lesser political entity given the way the country/island is run. For the past 400 years the island has been under the direction of the Agustus family, a wealthy group who allow any and all business into the island as long as they receive proper compensation. Because of this, the island has become a flourishing melting pot of different cultures and people all interested in the pursuit of beli.
Delving further into the past Aityaia the Island was once home to several noble families who opposed the world government during its younger years. Among these families were the ancestors of the Koga-Ryu. As a display of its power hundreds of years ago the World government laid siege to the island, taking over and uprooting the nobles who once opposed them. It was all the survivors could do to hide themselves amongst the island, hoping one day for a chance to strike back against the world government for taking their lives and their homes. For most these days, this information has long since been forgotten, but the descendants of Rokkaku will never forget.
