Yamatoko

Ruled by Yosono Kozo

A once deserted island inhabited by wild plants and wildlife. The island did not have any usable CG Energy Holes so it wasn’t in interest by the big nations. Instead they decided to abandon it and use it as a nature reserve in case of wars and emergencies.

Fleole claimed the island to use it as a way to deport the rioting Felines.

They later unclaimed the Island to disconnect from their biggest “failure”.

What neither knew was that the island was filled with contagious parasites. The virus would go rampant if it leaves its climate (outside the island) and reacts to intense stress. In both situations the host gets aggressive and potentially goes insane. They later dubbed it “Yadamas Punishment”.

With their independence the people have created their own society with the materials that are available on the island. The plans were all made and executed by the Kozo clan. Thus they were chosen by the people to become the holy leaders of Yamatoko.

Govt - Govt.

Yamatoko is disconnected from other countries and thus has no contact to other nations.

Govt - Citizen:

Due to the massive support by the inhabitants of Yamatoko, they’ve chosen the Kozo clan to be the leaders of Yamatoko. The citizens are afraid of the humans because of how they were treated in Fleole and hold a grudge against them and made Legends about humans depicted as demons. The Kozo Clan and the inhabitants all follow a God called “Yadama”.

Citizen - Citizen:

The inhabitants of Yamatoko believe in The Great Yadama and thank him for their daily bread and protection. They live a vegetarian lifestyle and protect the animals on the island. They celebrate an annual Festival dedicated to The Great Yadama. They do not leave the island and attempt to do daily good deeds to please The Great Yadama and to not get punished by him.

**-Yadama:**

People started to believe in The Great Yadama after the parasites were going rampant to those who had immense stress from the deportation and inhabitants trying to escape Yamatoko. They did it as a way to focus their fears and stress on to something else and wish for protection.

They started to believe in The Great Yadama as a guardian deity that punishes those who to attempt to desert their people and blesses people that stay loyal and do good deeds. They have an annual celebration of The Great Yadama to praise him. The Festival is carried out by the Kozo clan.

**Yosono Kozo:**

 Yosono Kozo is the head of the Kozo clan and is the leader of Yamatoko. She is a Kitsune that has been living for 590 Years and is aware that she will die out of old age at 600. Years later she is represented as the daughter of The Great Yadama and is well respected by the inhabitants. She has  twin daughters, Yana, the elder sister, and Hayu Kozo, the younger sister. Yosonos mother experienced the deportation to Yamatoko and died due to immense stress when Yosono was still a child, thus she became the new head of the Kozo clan and was taken care of by her father who also died a couple of years later. Due to her old age, she does not remember the past well.

**Yana Kozo:**

Yana Kozo is the elder twin sister of Hayu Kozo and the daughter of Yosono Kozo. She is chosen to be the next head of the Kozo clan. Unlike her sister, she enjoys physical activities, archery, martial arts and sports the most and does not enjoy studying, literature and history. If she could, she would give her duty, to become the head of the clan, to her sister as she is more suited for this, but Yosono has given it to her because she’s older and should study more, in her opinion. When she leaves Yamatoko to follow Protagonist, her sister Hayu becomes the next head of the clan.

**Hayu Kozo:**

Hayu Kozo is the younger twin sister of Yana Kozo and the daughter of Yosono Kozo. She  was a not an unexpected child and was nearly sacrificed because Yamatoko only needed a single child to be the next head of the Kozo clan but was spared by Yosono Kozo. Hayu, unlike her older sister, would spent her time holed-up in her room and would study and read all day. She educates herself about the history, stories about humans and literature. She does not enjoy physical activities like her older sister. She is also a tutor for Yanaand drags her to study. After Yana left Yamatoko with the Protagonist, she would become the next head of the Kozo clan after Yosono passes.

### The Mysterious Deaths in The Great Yadama Festival

During The Great Yadama Festival, there is a chance that people will get "punished by Yadama", these people would usually be jailed however this time, these people have been assassinated.

A Mysterious Person or Group has been targetting people that show signs of being affected by the Parasite and go mad.

It is an event that has never happened before in **Yamatoko**.

Hayu, Yana and Uzume try to investigate the murders and look for traces of the Murders.

They find out that the victims were shot with invisible arrows.

The target is near the Kozo Shrine.

The target hides in the trees.

All of these clues lead to Yosono Kozo, who's been assassinating her own people so gain Skill Points.

Yosono was aware that she was going to have to leave her power as the Kozo clan leader and wanted to give her skills and memories to Hayu and Yana, so they would be able to become the next leaders of Yamatoko.

She did not care if she'd be hated by her residents, as she wanted them to become the next leaders.

She has bought the Skill Transfer and Memory Transfer skills with the Skill Points she got by killing the residents in The Great Yadama Festival.

But before the Ceremony, for the Twins to become leaders, started, Yana already left Yamatoko with Uzume.

This means that Hayu would be the one who would receive Yosono's complete powers, and become the next leader of **Yamatoko** as she always wished.

Yosono passed by old age shortly after that, making Hayu officially the leader of the Kozo Clan and Yamatoko.

Hayu has evolved into a Kitsune like Yosono.
