## Concept and use

### Just Defense

Sword Stun is a fencing bladework maneuver first introduced in 1994's *Samurai Shodown II* as Uke-gaeshi (受け返し, *Uke-gaeshi*?, literally *Receiving*), whose purpose is block and deflect an incoming weapon attack without receive damage. At the last moment when an opponent's attack is about to hit his/her character, the player can do  to parry the attack, leaving the opponent vulnerable for a counterattack during a brief moment. Both players's characters must be standing on the ground to apply this technique. However, this movement requires precise timing, otherwise, the player will be exposed to damage. In *Samurai Shodown II* the maneuver consist in **Just Defense**at the very last moment, and made a comeback in the 2019 title of the series with a similar approach to *Street Fighter III 3rd Strike* Parry move where multiple-hit attacks can be absorbed if the timing is right. After a Just Defense the player is able to do a **Stance Break** (blockback guard cancel) pressing Light Slash + Medium Slash at the same time, or simply perform an Slash, Super Special move, etc. Note that in *Samurai Shodown 2019* the enemy never get stunned because the Just Defense, that depends of his/her attack and normal recovery time.

Samurai Shodown (2019), Haohmaru is able to parry all hits
### Stun movement

In *Samurai Shodown III* the deflecting technique requires a more elaborated input in the arcade joystick/directional pad with an increased, extreme timing required. For *Samurai Shodown IV* and onwards the character can do the Sword Stun movement without need to be attacked, also the timing is less severe. Sword Stuns only works against normal or special weapon attacks (no Kicks or Defense Breakers). Randomly the player's opponent can lose his/her weapon.

Sword Stun is not easy to input as the Just Defense technique and can be ignored during competitive matches and tournaments, but the big reward are opponent's fighters stunned during more time.

hiring personal secretaries and assistants. At home, one maid became two and then came a nanny, a cook/butler,

a groundskeeper, and a chauffeur. Maureen joined charities and welfare groups and began to have a schedule

more demanding than a full time job. Learning the trade of being rich was a task itself. The couple did well,

neither pushing too fast nor hanging too far back, but the work took a toll on private, quality time together.

There never seemed to be time or energy for the romantic, even the sexual side of married life.*

Agents

For some in the Marketplace, going to an auction either as a potential Marketplace slave or a potential Owner doesn't work. For slaves with specializations, a general auction may not be the place to highlight their skills. Some Owners may shy away from being seen in public. In cases like these, using an Agent for the transaction is common. Agents arrange private sales, attend auctions on behalf of Owners, and seek special matches to meet the tastes of Owners.

*"Agents rock," Tequila agreed. "Take another cut out of your fee, but hell, what do you care?

It's worth it because you get fewer hassles finding the right owner."*

One of the best known Agents in the Marketplace series is Ken Mandarin. "In addition to being one of the most prolific spotters the Marketplace has ever seen, she is quite a good agent. I've known her to scour the world for proper placements." (from The Reunion) Another agent is Spiro, who spotted the potential for Billy-Ray Clemm as a grudge slave and sold him directly to his first Owner.

Agents in the Marketplace include:

* Ken Mandarin, who is also an Owner and a Spotter
* Ali Cruz is also a Spotter, and in both areas, she specializes in transgender people
* Michael and Jules, who appear in The Marketplace visiting the Long Island Training House
* Spiro, the agent who specializes in grudge slaves. Spiro is a real stereotyped Hollywood agent type who has found himself in this dark niche. He spots Billy-Ray and has found several owners for him.

Unnamed Agents

* The Academy *The California Way*. A round little Japanese man in an immaculate black silk suit, all bottle-bottom glasses and little bowler hat, who buys Doris for the California family at a small auction in Chicago, after sending Pa the photos and files of various slaves to choose from.
* The Reunion includes unnamed agents for Lucy and Tequila

Some of the characters who use Agents are:

* Arturo Massimiliano frequently uses Agents, because of his specialty in training slave tops
* Khadija, who asks Ken Mandarin to find her a Marketplace slave who can act as her husband in The Academy
* Lucy, a slave top in The Reunion uses agents to find her Owners
* Maurice, Pauline and Spunk, who purchase Doris in The Academy
* Tequila, a slave who specializes in personal protection in The Reunion prefers using agents over the auction block
* Robin, who hopes to use Ken Mandarin to find her an Owner after she returns from The Reunion
* Grendel Elliott invites two agents, Michael and Jules to the Long Island Training House to see Sharon.
Ninon

appears in **The Academy** and **The Reunion**.

Ninon is a **Master Trainer**, and her specialty is pleasure slaves. She is deeply respected by her peers. She trained Chandra and trained Chris Parker to "flatter" as well as other arts of pleasure.

**Personal Description:** *She was in her fifties, maybe even her sixties, it was hard to guess. Her smooth, olive toned skin was faintly glowing in health, that kind of color you got when you lived in a warm place. Her hair was a rich, lush black, touched lightly with silvery white, making you guess at her age, mocking you with the possibilities. She had large, bold dark eyes and a body that Americans would describe as heavy, but . . . she seemed as tempting as Venus freshly come from the waves, as stunning as an Italian movie actress, as inviting as a warm embrace*. Ninon lives on Mykanos, and has a cordial relationship with Moises del Cipriano, the Trainer of Trainers in her area.

Ninon is one of the few who has read Chris’ paper, **The Eroticism of Despair.** She joins him in a hot tub at **The Academy** and later at the infamous Academy breakfast. After the vote at The Academy, Ninon becomes President of**The Regents**. **Angelique** wants to train with Ninon as part of the bargain being struck between her, **Philip Harrington**, and **Tetsuo Sakai**. **Chris Parker** is the broker for the arrangement.

appears in The Inheritor and is part of Anderson's line.

In her mid-fifties at the time of The Inheritor, Margaret was the first of Anderson’s tutelage to make **Master Trainer**. Her ranch outside of Sedona was exclusively dedicated to finishing the finest of slaves and training up excellent new trainers. Her deeply tanned skin and dark glasses made her look like an escapee from some exclusive desert spa; her rough, strong hands said much more. Her ice brown hair had faded over the years to more ice than brown; she was wearing beautifully kept but low-heeled boots with her plain black pants suit.
Dalton

Appears in The Trainer, The Academy, and The Reunion.

In The Trainer, Dalton attends the event at Rothmere with fellow trainer Evander. Michael LaGuardia falls asleep at his presentation.

**Personal Description:** *Piercing light blue eyes, wavy like the reflection of light over a shallow lake . . . with his deep eyes and high cheekbones, pale skin over a high, domed and nearly hairless forehead, he looked like some movie version of a butler or the headmaster of a boy’s school.* from The Trainer *Almost completely bald, with a carefully trimmed fringe of pure white hair and an angular face, creased with wrinkles and filled with great dignity.* from The Academy His long time lover, Quentin, lives with him in a house in Surrey.

Angelique is interested in the offer The Regents are making to her through Chris Parker regarding joining them, and wants to add in a stint with Ninon to make it interesting.

Yoshitora Tokugawa

Samurai Shodown (2019). Design by Ogura.

**Yoshitora Tokugawa** is the main protagonist of *Samurai Shodown V*.

## Overview

### Concept

One of the first things that was decided in the early planning stages for Samurai Shodown V was the inclusion of a new protagonist, and the developers want him "different" enough from the already known and famous Haohmaru. While Haohmaru profile is that of a wanderer who moves freely and without worry from here to there, the new protagonist was due to play the role of a strategist swordsman and "elite military genius".

After looking the DVD cover of a Sengoku-based film (the greatest era of Samurai warriors), art director Dorio Takaya had the idea of giving the new protagonist not just one, but a large number of swords at his disposal.

Because the setting of *Samurai Shodown V* is during year 1786, Yoshitora character is loosely based on the historical figure of Tokugawa Ienari, a Shogun whose Bakufu saw many troubles and riots similar to the calamities found in the the Samurai Shodown series (excluding the fantasy details).

The final design of Yoshitora was conducted by Nobuhiro Watsuki, renowned manga artist of Rurouni Kenshin fame who served as a guest character designer for *Samurai Shodown V*.

## Storyline

### Biography

* **Samurai Shodown V:** *He met the general several years ago in Edo. With his incomparable strength and fierce patriotism, Yoshitora then realized what the phrase "I idolize him" really meant. And now... Yoshitora hears the rumor: "Gaoh Kyōgoku Hinowanokami is suspected for treason". While muttering, "...this is not good". Yoshitora, as usual, sets out for the red light district, casually heading toward the city. As always, he's armed with a large sword and six others, all bearing the names of his sweeties from the red zone.*
Pauline or "Pa"

appears in *The California Way*, narrated by **Geoff Negel** in **The Academy**. The story was written by M. Christian.

Pauline, or “Pa” lives with Maurice ("Ma") and Spunk as a **Marketplace family**. Collectively, the family purchases Doris.

**Personal Description:** “A face that was hard but not brutal: as if she’d sculpted herself, manipulated her demeanor to hang somewhere between male and female.”

Ron Avidan is the only named member of Chris Parker's family. He is the older by nine years, and is described by his former Trainer, **Imala Anderson**, as: *A brilliant scholar who left home to go to Israel, left the kibbutz to go to school, left college to become a slave, and then left slavery because it was too ‘boring’ and became a leather clad master, a pool shark and occasionally a very expensive hustler.*By the time of the Academy, he has a boyfriend Noach in New Jersey, along with Noach's two children.

Grenadine Wikia

## Welcome to the Grenadine Wikia

   Wall Grenadine is a Combat based RP Sim in Second Life where one can be a soldier or civilian. In the military you start as a trainee and work your way through various phases and
eventually graduation. After graduating you will be able to join RP and combat based missions. There are also squads to join and ranks to earn. The sim uses player controlled titans for missions, some with their own characteristics and traits. In the future, RP based missions will involve a moderately large story line with different paths to make for exciting conclusions.

Civilians can be farmers, traders, thieves, murderers or even animals. Whatever you can think of within reason, can be a character. They will be able to even participate in military missions as well, such as building the wall or protection.

Steffen Hartmann

*"Better work on that landing, kiddo"* - Steffen claiming that John Porkins requires more practice.

## **History**

Steffen Hartmann was a young late-teenager that lived his life happily in fairwind farms, working his family potato plantation as he provided food for the regiments of the Humanity Defense Force.

He grew up in Mauritius before the area got breached several times with his grandparents. His parents, Erik and Sophia Hartmann did not seek to raise him after his birth, simply due to the fact they were too busy running their company. His grandparents, Martan and Erica Hartmann took him in to ensure he had a proper labor free childhood until the age of 13. The family was composed of a hard working group of people that strives to help the population in any way possible, often going for volunteer work to feed homeless people or even treat wounded soldiers. Steffen partook in those endeavors and learned a great deal about herbs, medicine and survival in the woods. The turbulence of this life ensured he couldn't make many friend. The ones he has however, he shared his entire life story with. When he turned old enough, he started his career at his parents company, helping to maintain the potato crops as well as keeping tabs on the military to ensure they have enough food, often sneaking in to give garrison forces some extra.

After the latest breach of Mauritius and the failed attempt of the military to contain the invasion, he and his parents got evacuated to a for him unknown area. His grandparents however, died during the invasion. When his friends from Mauritius brought him the news, he felt anger for the first time. His sadness mixed with the hatred he bred for the titans, made him stomp his feet into the ground and head to the nearest recruiting office for the military.
Yukimura Sato

## Qoute:

"There is nothing in this world that is truly "perfect". Though it may be a rather large cliche, it is still the truth. It is the ordinary people who look up to "perfection" as an ideal and seek after it. But in truth, what is this idea of "perfection" truly worth? Nothing. Not a single thing. I detest "perfection". To be "perfect" is to be unable to improve any further. There would be no scope for "creation", not a single gap in one's knowledge or one's ability. Do you see now? To true scientists like you and I, "Perfection" is tantamount to "despair". We aspire to reach greater levels of brilliance than ever before, but never, NEVER, to reach perfection. That is the paradox through which we scientists must struggle. Indeed, it is our duty to find pleasure in that struggle. In other words, the second you allowed yourself to spout a ridiculous word like "perfect", in truth, you had already been defeated. That is if you wish to be treated as a scientist."

## **Personality**

Yukimura is a quiet individual who tends to smoke a lot, often being observant of things around him. His bleak expressions and almost lifeless demeanor often portray him as a lone wolf.. Though at times he does act aloof, even then one should be wear, as despite his change of pace of faces. He will gather plenty of intel.

## ***History***

Rin was born to the Akagi family who lives in Grenadine Central. They have a mansion with a moderate sized garden they use for outdoor parties. The Akagi family earned their wealth by making rifles for the military. Her family consists of her mother, father, older brother and grandfather.

    She grew up with a nursemaid who she would always run away from and explore the gardens of her family's estate. She was 6 when her parents found out and forbade her from going outside at all. Her nursemaid was punished, and never let Rin out of her sight. Rin would spend the next 9 years of her life reading, ballet, playing the violin and working out when she got restless. Usually doing sit ups or lifting heavy things around the mansion.

    When she turned 15, Rin started attending formal parties and functions. Mostly due to her parents forcing her, though she liked to wear all the fancy clothes and accessories that came with it. Around that time her parents started picking out suitors for her to marry, but she would always find a way around it. When she was 17 her parents forced her to get engaged to a nobleman's son who lived nearby. She hated the boy, he would grab her and grope her when no one was looking and act like a perfect angel when people were watching. She tried telling her parents and got slapped.

    Finally one day during a party she got sick of him and caused a scene. After yelling at him and kicking him in the balls she turned to her parents and kicked her father in the balls. After using obscenity after obscenity  she ran off to her room, collecting her things, including some elegant dresses, and leaving the house and running toward the outer-walls. She took shelter for a few days and after seeing the poor treatment of refugees from the Mauritus she decided to do something. She joined the military to stop the poor treatment of refugees.

    She found a small bakery in Avarice that she works at in order to stay there for free as she didn't have another place to stay. She's only there for a few months until she receives a letter from her family telling her to come back. She rejects the letter and burns it in the fireplace. She keeps receiving letters until the last one which ended up disowning her. After the scene she gave, nobody would want to marry her. They probably just wanted to keep her locked up again.

    Died while on a mission at Krumm outpost. Bled to death.

Nia Vogel

## Short history:

Her father left when she was born. She grew up in Mauritius and helped her mother in the marketplace selling crafts they made. Nia is quite proficient in sewing, which has come in handy stitching people up during missions.  Nia was 10 years old when she and her mother were evacuated during a titan invasion. The two were separated and Nia never saw her mother again. She was put into an orphanage until she was 16, when she left to make it on her own. She did odd jobs for 3 years, but the memory of her mother always haunted her. She decided to join the military at the age of 19 to make sure what happened to her, didn't happen to someone else.

She is currently the Colonel of the Garrison. Due to a long military career and injuries she has been grounded. Her leg is permanently crippled and she must walk with a cane and leg brace.

Currently: Discharged from the hospital
Иттоки Отоя

Нанами Харука (七海 春歌, Nanami Haruka) - единственный управляемый персонаж и главная героиня Uta no☆Prince-sama♪. Она поступает в Академию Саотомэ в надежде стать композитором, чтобы писать песни для своего кумира, Хаято. В аниме ее озвучивает Миюки Савасиро (沢城 みゆき, *Sawashiro Miyuki*).

## Внешность

У нее короткие, красновато-оранжевые волосы и золотисто-зеленые глаза в игре, аниме и манге. Она довольно низкая, ниже почти всех остальных персонажей.

## Характер

Она стеснительная, честная девушка, довольно беспокойная, но оптимистичная. Если день не заладился, если ей очень не везет, она не теряет уверенности в своих силах.

## Биография

В детстве у Харуки было слабое здоровье, поэтому родители решили отправить ее в деревню к бабушке. Там она научилась играть на фортепьяно, но не читать ноты.

Эта часть истории была сделана для серий Отои и Масато в аниме. В игре у Харуки нет каких-либо трудностей с чтением нот.

Когда она вернулась в город, ей стало плохо из-за загрязненного воздуха и обилия людей вокруг. Пока она паниковала, Хаято появился на большом экране и песня, которую он пел, успокоила ее. Ее новой целью стало сочинить песню для Хаято, поэтому она поступает в Академию Саотомэ. Она не знает, что шесть парней, включая самого Хаято, ждут ее там...
