The Lost Ground (Background) |

The Lost Ground
Origin of The Lost Ground Seventy two years ago a great cataclysm shook the Kanazawa Prefecture splitting it in half causing giant cliffs to protrude into the sky. Due to the incident "The Lost Ground" became secluded from the rest of Japan. Also because of the incident the land became barren and the people living there were left to fend for themselves with little or no help from the "Mainland". Because of the strange cataclysm people living on the Lost Ground began to exhibit strange powers known as "Alters", as well as every 1% of all children born on the Lost Ground were born with these Alter powers.
Origin of Alter It is believed that the cataclysm was responsible for the "Inners" gaining their Alter powers but that in fact was wrong. The real reason for the strange powers the rift which opened during the cataclysm which was a doorway to another dimension. Due to the rift a stranger being came to the the Lost Ground, wielding on one arm a white flame and and black flame on the other, the being was never named (but I personally nicknamed him "The Immortal" wink .
What Is Alter? Alter power is a manifestation in the real world by the Alter Users psychically call forth the power from the "Other Dimension". The form of the Alter all depends on the user willpower. In other words no two users will ever have the same Alter.
Establishment of HOLD & HOLY Due to the large population living in the city under the support of the Mainland a police squad known as HOLD was established to keep the peace as well as protect the citizens. But due to the Alter attacks the HOLD organization was unable to prevent majority of the attacks. Because of this a new section within HOLD was founded called HOLY to specifically deal with the Alter insurgents. All of the members of HOLY were all Native Alters (although Martin Zigmarl's Alter powers were refined on the Mainland) led by Commander Martin Zigmarl. HOLY primary objective was to apprehend Alter criminals and bring them to justice, although this role later on changed to capturing Native Alters and sending them to the Mainland for study as well as refinement. Among the members included; Ryuho Tairen, next in line of the Ryu Family, Straight Cougar, a Native Alter who was Kazuma's "big brother", Elian, a cloned copy of Martin Zigmarl, Scheris Adjani, the only female Alter user, and more.
The Second Upheaval One day during one of Kazuma's and Ryuho's fights the two Alters exerted so much energy that the two energies clashed and opened the gate to the Other Dimension. Due to the extreme energy clash more of the Lost Ground up heaved into the sky almost identical to the first time. Due to the incident many of the Inners outside the city were forced into interment type camps, one of them included Kazuma's little "sister" Kanami Yuta. Also the Second Upheaval caught the attention of the Mainland which brought Kyouji Mujo back to the Lost Ground. When Ryuho and Kazuma returned to the Lost Ground from the Other Dimension they had no knowledge of themselves or others other than each other.
Kyouji's Ambition and Fall Eight months after the Second Upheaval, Kyouji abducted Kanami for her hidden Alter power to see into the minds of other Alters. To Kazuma and Ryuho this was a declaration of war. When the two entered the tower (which used to be HOLD HQ), they split ways each taking one direction. Along the way up Ryuho gets killed by the Immortal but Scheris Adjani sacrifices her life using her Alter to save his life. During the final battle both Kazuma and Ryuho were able to achieve their true forms by merging as one with their Alters to defeat Kyouji. After the battle the HOLD HQ was returned to normal but Commander Martin Zigmarl was left dead in an earlier battle against Ryuho with no one left to lead HOLD and HOLY basically disbanded.
Aftermath After the battle between Kyouji and Kazuma/Ryuho, the Mainland sent an entire armada of ships to reestablish order to the chaos Kyouji had created with his maddening pursuit of the power from the Other Dimension. Kazuma and Ryuho named themselves as Guardians of the Lost Ground headed out to stop the Mainland from interfering with the affairs of the Inners.
25 Years Later Twenty five years later after the aftermath of the collapse of HOLD the Inners had almost virtually reestablished the Kanazawa Econmic District on their own without the interference of the Mainland. Majority of the barren wastelands had been transformed into bustling towns with the City in the center of it all. The two Guardians of the Lost Ground had faded into obscurity, supposedly their bodies completely deconstructed due to their exposure to the Other Dimension. Also due to continuous activity years back by Ryuho and Kazuma the rate of children born with Alter powers had dramatically risen to 66%.
The Betrayal Only a few years after the Inners had finally established some semblance of peace the Inners living in the main City began to talk to those from the Mainland still interested in the study of Alter power. Soon after many Native Alters began to vanish from the Lost Ground as the citizens of the city fattened their wallets from money they received from the captured Alters.
Rebellion and the Establishment of AHPD Many of the Native Alters began to realize what was happening to their friends but at first did nothing about it until one night when the Mainlanders as well as people from the city kidnapping children. To them this was a declaration of war and soon the Lost Ground would be divided in two, one fighting yet again the control of the Mainland and the other fighting to keep their partnership with the Mainland. Countless attacks against the city occurred before the city dwellers did something. Along with the help of the Mainland the city established the AHPD (Alter Hunter Police Department) put in place to counteract the attacks from the Alters.
Rise of the Dragon's of Wrath Among the attacks launched against the city one Alter named Alastor Zega was responsible for majority of them. But because of the AHPD less and less Alters would join in and attack the city. Also even before the AHPD majority of the Alters who attacked the city were low class Alters who had no conceptual understanding of their power. Unlike them, Alastor knew full well of his powers as well as the stories of Ryuho and Kazuma. Soon after the establishment of the AHPD the attacks stopped as Alastor roams the Lost Ground trying to recruit members for his team he aptly named "The Dragons of Wrarth".

A few days later Juli and Shiro arrive in the suburbs of Shinjuku at a small empty house. After the move Juli finds herself a job as a masseuse at the Cherry Blossom River Spa. While pressured by his mother, Shiro disobeys and does not enroll himself into the local high school but chooses to spend most of his time at the arcade or at the comic book shop. But one day while receiving a new shipment of manga Shiro finds a manga called "The Four Beasts of Ninjutzu". The owner tells Shiro that the manga was Anonymously written about the "Four Great Ninja". Shiro enticed by what the owner told him decides to buy it not knowing that this manga would change his life forever. The manga detailed the legend of Four Great Ninja; Suzaku, the Red Mist, Seiryu, the Blue Whisper, Byakko, the White Flash, and Genbu, the Green Blur.

One day while leaving the arcade Shiro ran into a man completely dressed in black. Man saw Shiro carry the manga and asked him a few questions about it. During their conversation Shiro expressed that he would want nothing more than to become a legendary ninja himself so that mangas would be written about him. The man tells Shiro it was possible for him to become a ninja would he accept to which Shiro rapidly replies "yes". The man tells Shiro of a place called "The Sea of Trees" in the old part of Shinjuku. There he would find the Shinnigami School of Ninja Arts. And while Shiro looked away for a second the man disappeared in the blink of an eye. Not knowing to believe the man Shiro ignored everything he had told him and returned home. That night Shiro had a strange dream, as if he was led by the hand to the Sea of Trees. There he stood in front of the school and the same man saying "Welcome Shiro to your destiny. This is where you belong" and the dream ended. The next morning Shiro set out to find this school following the way he had seen in his dream.

The Tragic History of Hien |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exploration of Hien Island
Hien's history starts with explorers who had been exploring the Black Sea. The seafarers had been trapped in a heavy thunderstorm and lightning struck their ship stranding them on the shores of an island in the middle of the Black Sea. The travelers where amazed at the beauty of the island. Completely uninhabited filled with greenery and surrounded by crystalline ocean filled with fish and other sea creatures. So instead of building a new ship the explorers decided to settle the island. They built a small fishing town called Kyen while others searched out the island for game and other wildlife. Far north on the island they had discovered an iron rich mine filled with a mysterious ore they called Damask Steel. The settlers began to mine this steel and forge all things possible out of it. Slowly the small settlement grew into a decently sized city. The settlers started moving closer to the center of the city where they started with the construction of their capital city.
Completion of Early Hien
Not very long after settling the seafarers slowly moved inland towards the center of the island and began construction of the capital city. With tools made from the mysterious Damask Steel the construction went smoothly and very quickly. Within twenty years the capital city had been completed. Although completed the travelers were leaderless and choose to establish a democratic form of government for the city of Hien. Eight leaders where chosen to make all the decisions of the settlement.
The Black Storm
The people of Hien prospered for hundreds of years until one day when the clouds began to change. The Black Sea began to churn and became extremely violent. The small fishing town of Kyen had been washed off the shores and devoured by the Black Sea. As if cursed by the Gods massive tidal waves crashed against the rocks and slowly began to swallow the entire island. Frightened by the Sea the settlers ran back to their newly built ships and left the island returning to the lands of Karau. But some settlers stayed. The Yammura Family had remained. The Yammura Family had always prayed to the Gods and saw this as their wish come true to make the island into a beautiful paradise. So they reclaimed Hien and pronounced themselves as a Shogunate. The first Shogun was named Daimyo Kurosaki Yammura.
The Second Shogunate
The First Shogunate ruled Hien for one hundred years. And soon after the death of Daimyo Kurosaki, his eldest son Yamichika was named the second Daimyo of Hien. During the reign of Daimyo Yamichika he expanded the lands of Hien to also incorporate the Damask Mines as well as the port where the old city of Kyen used to stand. Almost all the lands on the island now belonged to the Yammura Family, all but the northern ports. During the final years of Daimyo Kurosaki new settlers had started to inhabit the northern parts of the island. They were travelers who had returned from Karau to reclaim Hien for themselves only to find that Hien has been taken control over. But instead of trying to invade and attack the ones who inhabit Hien they instead decided to build a new settlement on the northern side called Kariyushin. From there the return settlers formed their own family and watched over the Yammura Shogunate looking for an opportunity to retake Hien from them.
The Kisjetai Family
On the northern border of Hien lay the newly built city of Kariyushin where the greatest family of the return settlers established their own shogunate. The Kisjetai Family where the first to hold control over Kariyushin. Their Daimyo, Kenshiro Kisjetai was a very evil and vengeful warlord. Under his reign the Kisjetai Family nearly lost all credibility with the entire city. Kenshiro was asked to step down and his younger brother, Kirimura was asked to fill his brother's position as Shogun. Kirimura held the title of Daimyo until his death when his eldest son, Kira ascended to the rank of Daimyo. Under the reign of Kira the Kisjetai Family got involved in a few land disputes with the Yammura Family but each time the Kisjetai Family was driven back to it's borders due to lack of Samurai. But with each defeat the Kisjetai started to adapt to the military tactics of the Yammura Family until little by little the island was literally divided in half between the two families.
The Great Samurai War
With the establishment of the Third Shogunate of the Yammura Clan the border disputes between the two families had reached a bloody stalemate. Until the reign of Kurenai Yammura who began training Samurai on the art of the Yamigata and bow and arrow. After fifteen years of heated disputes over the border line Kurenia began to mobilize his forces towards the border to try and keep the peace. But the Kisjetai Clan had other intentions. After the death of Kira, the Kisjetai family had to choose a new Daimyo to replace Kira. But Kira himself had no offspring so they had to make due with Kira's first cousin, Yatsutoshi. But unlike Kira, Yatsutoshi had no experience in combat and was facing all out war with the Yammura Clan. But after a few days the conflict began to escalate even further until finally Kurenai had declared open war on all of Kariyushin. The first few conflicts Kisjetai had won since they knew all the ins and outs of the Yammura tactics. The battles lasted for months until Kurenai's elite unit was dispatched. The Shadow Edge sweeped through the battlefield eliminating any obstacle in their way. And after a year Kisjetai had lost the battle and was forced to sign an unconditional surrender pact. The conditions listed was for the Kisjetai family to leave their city of Kariyushin and return to Karau and never return to these shores.
The Fourth Shogunate
Soon after the Kisjetai Family was forced to leave Kurenai fell ill and could no longer act as Shogun. Kurenai's brother Enzo was promoted to acting Daimyo. But soon after the ceremony Kurenai died in his sleep of Scarlet Fever and Enzo was named permanent Daimyo. Enzo's first order of business was to unite Hein and Kariyushin which now had been named north Hien. Now with the unification of North and South Hien, the Yammura Family controlled the entire island. But with the departure of the Kisjetai Family something new appeared on the island. Some called these beings "demons" crossed over from the other side and began to appear at nights throughout the kingdom. People began fabricating stories about these "demons" saying that the lands had become cursed after the Great Samurai War and that the Yammura Shogunate was responsible. The Shadow Edge was dispatched to clear up the rumors but each time they battled these fiends none of the samurai had come back.....Alive that is....The samurai became corrupt and blood thirsty and began to attack their own people.
The Destruction of Hien
Soon the entire kingdom of Hien fell into chaos until the last Shogun of the Yammura Clan rose up to defend his city. One by one Elokai took on these "demons" and one by one each one of them fell by his sword. After a few days Elokai had regained control of Hien and the people where once on his side again. But one fateful night one of the "demons" visited Elokai in his dreams and foretold his fate. Elokai would join them as their greatest Demon Swordsmaster and set the entire island ablaze. He will drink the souls of all the fallen there and leave the island. For the "demons' hungered for something more......The power f Byakko, the White Tiger. Soon after the dream had ended Elokai woke in a cold sweat and slowly slipped into paranoia. And within in his parania the "demons" slowly whispered into Elokai's head driving him insane until he picked up his sword and slaughtered everyone in his court. Elokai moved through the streets of Hien and slaughtered anyone he could find all while setting the entire city of Hien ablaze. And by morning after the embers had died down almost the entire island had been reduced to cinders. Soon after th destruction Elokai chartered a ship and left the Island of Hien heading for Dorter Port across the Black Sea.

The Establishment of Ruvelia
On a outlying continent thousands years ago human settlers colonized the rich lands. There they established the land of Ruvelia. These primitive human settlers held the lands for hundreds of years until marauders drove them out of their lands. These marauders although humans as well where a conquering tribe of warriors who sought these lands for their position and power to lay an attack against the Isle of Hien. But after their failed attempt to even cross the harsh Black Sea they withdrew from the lands. For hundreds of years the land known as Ruvelia began to decay and die. Until the day man named Aleksander Memoria. His expedition came from the faraway lands of Karau. At the very tip of Ruvelia he began to building his castle, WhiteWind Castle. But Aleksander did not see the completion of the castle. At the middle of construction he caught a very deadly virus, Black Mist Fever. The virus infiltrated his heart and completely stopped it, killing him in his sleep. On the day of his funeral Aleksander's son was named Lord and was placed to oversee the construction of WhiteWind Castle.
Completion of WhiteWind Castle
Ten years after the death of Aleksander his son, Azrael had finished his father's dream. The WhiteWind Castle was finished and Azrael had grown into age to be proclaimed King. Although young, he led the nation in a new direction with the construction of the city of Areven around the providence of the WhiteWind Castle. With it's completion more and more settlers from the neighboring lands came to look at the marvel of the WhiteWind Castle and Areven. Soon the name of Ruvelia had been forgotten and the people began to call the lands Memoria. But Azrael's time also grew near to the end. His mother had died with the completion of Areven twenty-five years ago. But the queen had given him two heirs both males. And the passing season Azrael like his father died. He left the kingdom in the hands of his wife and his staff of loyal advisers.
Kuriel's Reign and Soriel's betrayal
Twenty years passed and the queen had grown old no longer able to keep the throne. As elder brother Soriel was next in line to ascend to the throne as king but dark rumors floated around him. Villagers in Areven began talking that Soriel had allied himself with the bandits of Dorter Port. Although the rumors were unconfirmed, the Council began looking down on Soriel becoming King of Memoria. Instead they began to approach Kuriel asking him to take his brother's place as King. But one day Soriel overheard the Council talking about appointing his brother as King. Soriel under the blanket of night snuck out of WhiteWind Castle heading for Dorter Port. But along the way there a patrol team picked him up and took him back to the castle to face punishment. On the day of Soriel's punishment his brother Kuriel was crowned King of Memoria. As for Soriel's punishment, he was outcast from the lands of Memoria for the rest of his life never to return. As Kuriel took the throne Soriel joined the bandits of Dorter Port. With their leader he formed a pact to take over WhiteWind Castle. Five years the Bandits waited for the attack on WhiteWind and finally the day had come. The King had been out on one of his rides out to the Grand Warlock Library. The Bandits mercilessly attacked but were quickly driven back by the Grand Army. Soriel and his bandits retreated back to Dorter Port. But the bandits had spies all around Memoria and heard about the Warlocks of the Library. They had heard of the arcane sorcery they had learned of. They sought out these sorcerers and their powers but they were nowhere to be found. Soriel made one last attempt to invade Memoria again and met his brother in battle outside the Warlock Library. The battle ended with Kuriel taking his brother's life. With the fall of Soriel the bandits retreated back to Dorter Port.
The Fall of WhiteWind Castle
Ten years had passed since Kuriel struck down his brother and protected his kingdom. But nasty rumors still spread of the bandits of Dorter Port. The providence of Dorter was out of the kingdom of Memoria so King Kuriel couldn't do much but to protect the kingdom as best as he could. The bandits in Dorter had finally found the elusive Sorcerers and forced them to reveal their dark secrets to them. Out of the bandits one by the name of Kyros was granted dark magic and with this power they had hoped to take WhiteWind castle. One night the bandits launched their attack and with the dark magic completely overwhelmed the knights there. They went into the chambers of the and slaughtered the king and his queen in their sleep. With the king dead the kingdom of Memoria had no other choice but to surrender to the bandits. And after a few years the Castle and the town of Areven became a bandit town like Dorter Port. Slowly the villagers started to desert the once proud Kingdom of Memoria.
Arrival of Byakko, the White Tiger
After th fall of WhiteWind Castle a dark cloud started to spread over the lands of Memoria. As if cursed by the GODs themselves. The lands began to become shrouded in pure darkness. All plant life began to wither and decay. The farm lands started to rot and turn black as the darkness. But the bandits didn't care all they sought was all the treasure which was locked away. But then with the ever spreading darkness a light shone from the Angel Tower. A bright light ripped through the dark cloud and a loud roar could be heard from the altar there. The light began to fade as an orb from the heavens descended down to Memoria. There on the top of Angel Tower stood a giant white tiger. The tiger with one giant leap jumped from the Angel Tower directly through the roof of WhiteWind Castle. There the tiger faced Kyros sitting on the King's throne. "Foolish human!!!! Thou art the cause of this. Thy foolhardy attempt to control this kingdom hath unleashed the wrath of the dark magic thou hath used. Kyros, thou hath been warned give up these wicked ways or thou whilst face my wrath."With that the white disappeared. But Kyros didn't budge not even blink at the tiger's words. With each day the lands and the crops begin to fade and rot until nothing remained. The once bountiful lands of Memoria slowly transform into a ghostland.

Memoria Map: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/Facelesskiller/MemoriaMap.png
Key Terms:
Areven - The heart town of Memoria. It surrounds the walls of the WhiteWind Castle. Originally planned by Aleksander but wasn't completely established until Azrael's reign.
WhiteWind Castle - Built by the great Aleksander Memoria, first proclaimed King of Memoria. The castle has been in the hands of the Memoria family for three generations until Kyros took the crown and throne.
Ruvelia - The original name given to the lands by the first settlers. The lands then where swept up by a marauder tribe. The lands ceased to be known as Ruvelia as when Aleksander built his empire.
Memoria - The name of the lands. Originally named by the people because of the benevolent rule of their first king, Aleksander Memoria.
Elvish Forest - Rumored to be the place of the long forgotten race of Elves. Although it has never been confirmed people do still believe that the old Elvish race still lives and thrives in the forest.
Lake Turai - Since the existence of the lands this natural lake has always existed there. Filled with crystalline blue waters. But some say that an evil god is supposed to live at the depths of the lake,
The Beach - It used to be under the Black Sea but because of the receding tides has become uncovered. Beautiful white sands cover the entire area. But the Warlocks believe that there are buried ruins of a lost civilization under the bluffs.
Warlock Library - Originally founded by one of King Aleksander's closest advisers, Astaroth. The library is an extensive collection of old scriptures, spells, tales and others. But in the recent years the Order there has been meddling with Dark Magicks and what was once Memoria's great knowledge house has been reduced to a cult of extremists.
Dorter Port - The town was originally founded by marauders from the north lands looking for a way to claim the Island of Hien. But the entire group was lost at sea. Soon after deserters and those who opposed the crown began populating the town. Eventually it became a bandit town with absolutely no laws or order.
Angel Tower - A giant monument built in honor of King Aleksander's death. In the lower chambers is the great tomb of the First King himself. In the years later to follow a giant statue of a white tiger mysteriously appear at the peak of the tower.
Skull Mountain - Not much is known about these mountains nor has anyone taken the chance to explore them. But like Lake Turai they have existed since the establishment of Ruvelia.
Black Sea - The rough and very dangerous sea. It gets its name for the pitch black color of the waters. Not many have traversed these waters safely. Some believe that the god of the sea was the one who turned the waters pitch black because of the rage he feels for the inhabitants of Dorter Port.
Remains of Hien - On that island can be ruins be found of what one used to be a prosperous civilization. Those who still live on the island continuously live in shadows not to be seen by who they call "The Demon of Hien".
The Great Samurai War - The great war between the Kisjetai Clan and the Yammura Shogunate. The result of the war was the total unification of the entire island of Hien.
"The Demon of Hien" - A term used by the remnants of Hien for the one who destroyed the entire island.
Kisjetai Clan - The original inhabitants of the island of Hien. The ones who originally established the fishing town of Kyen as well as the later city of Kariyushin. These people where driven out twice from the lands of Hien, once by the Black Storm and the other due to the loss at the end of the Great Samurai War.
Yammura Clan - The main clan who colonized and unified the entire lands of Hien. Originally came with the first settlers but choose to stay on the island after the Black Storm.
