Hierarchy

```
**Daimyo:**

```

> 将軍瞳
>
>
> Daimyo Hitomi
>
>
> Age: 88
>
>
> While the Daimyo isn't the nicest of individuals, he's always been willing to make the tough calls that take care of his clan and people. However, the Daimyo has gone from being a well respected individual back when Hiyashi was a child, to a figure-head most view with annoyance, disappointment, or resentment.
>
>
> Because of it's size, strength, value, and location, the Hitomi clan is an appealing target to would-be insurrectionists, as to kill or overthrow a Daimyo would be to take his place, and control everything he once had. There have been many attempted coups in the Daimyo's lifetime, the largest scale one being when Hiyashi was 15, but none have succeeded.
>
>
> As the Daimyo has grown older, his sharp intellect and cunning mind have started to wither away. He has become senile and cruel, behaviors of which are both instigated and encouraged by Jiro, who has been manipulating the Daimyo for the past 20 years while in his service.
>
>
> After his Military Advisor was killed and Hiyashi fled, the Daimyo grew afraid that the other clans would see his failure to capture their rogue samurai as weakness, and so the Daimyo started to double down on training, security, and propaganda. Many of the decisions he has made since then have been made out of fear - disloyalty, mutiny, treason - are all things he has attempted to suppress in the last 2 decades by using extreme shows of force, which has only made the situation worse.
>
>
>
> Speaking with the Daimyo is like stepping on eggshells, he is easily angered and deals out harsh punishments for petty offenses. Everyone would look forward to the day he died if it didn't mean Jiro would just be taking over in his stead.
>
>

```
**Domestic Advisor:**

```

> 功瞳
>
>
> Isao Hitomi
>
>
> "Honorable Eyes"
>
>
> Age: 56
>
>
> The Domestic Advisor is in charge of maintaining enough food and water, providing housing and adequate healthcare, and other social services for all Hitomi clan members. The clan itself is easily big enough to qualify as a small city, so it's the Domestic Advisor job to keep everything running smoothly and keep everyone happy.
>
>
> Because of this, Isao clashes with Jiro constantly, as Jiro's actions almost always benefit himself and no one else. The rules and laws he's put in place over the past 20 years have made like in Silver Peaks miserable, and a lot of the backlash falls on Isao because of this.
>
>
> Isao is kind, but tired, and is often snappy without meaning to be. He's under a constant amount of stress trying to iron out all of the creases Jiro leaves wherever he goes.
>

```
**Military Advisor:**

```

> 勝瞳
>
>
> Katsu Hitomi
>
>
> "Victorious Eyes"
>
>
> 一瞳の戦士
>
>
> *Ichi Hitomi no Senshi*
>
>
> "One Eyed Warrior"
>
>
> Age: 38
>
>
> The Military Advisor is in charge of training troops, working out deployments, making battle plans, and leading the charge in attacks. Katsu is the youngest of the advisors, and is treated as such, but it doesn't bother him. For the most part, he finds their constant squabbling childish, and only cares about making sure his men get what they need.
>
>
> Katsu is the first Advisor in several decades to have inherited the position as the Second Hand General. After Isamu was killed and Hiyashi fled, the seat for the Military Advisor position was taken by Jiro's older brother. However, the man had no children, so when he was killed a few years later, the next in the line of succession was the Second Hand General. Katsu is known for his heroism in battle, where he managed fight off half a brigade on his own - losing an eye in the process but also gaining a cool nickname.
>
>
> For council meetings, Katsu is the last to arrive and the first to leave, wanting nothing to do with the others and is simply there to perform his duty. He is as disconnected from them and their affairs as he can possibly be.
>
>
> Given the Daimyo 's inevitable death on the horizon and Jiro's eminent takeover, Katsu and his generals have discussed a coup, knowing that Jiro's rule will be so much worse than the Daimyo 's. Jiro has a hunch that Katsu is up to something, but has not been able to prove anything.

```
**Political Advisor:**

```

> 竜瞳
>
>
> Ryuu Hitomi
>
>
> "Dragon Spirit Eyes"
>
>
> Age: 61
>
>
> The Political Advisor is in charge of maintaining relationships between other clans and sects, mediating foreign affair discussions, writing laws and rules into legislation, and running the Hitomi Clan spy network.
>
>
> Jiro and Ryuu actually get along quite well, as they're both corrupt to the core and are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want.
>
>
> Ryuu is sleezy, snide, and abuses his power for trivial things just as a way to make himself feel better. He acts more as Jiro's lapdog instead of a separate advisor, who is meant to have his own thoughts an opinions.
>
>
>
>

```
**Treasury Advisor:**

```

> 雅瞳
>
>
> Masashi Hitomi
>
>
> "Elegant Eyes"
>
>
> Age: 53
>
>
> The Treasury Advisor is in charge of maintaining and keeping track of all funds going in and out of the clan, accounting, budgeting, and creating contracts with other sects or outside groups.
>
>
> Masashi is quiet, not because they are shy, but because they don't care for the other's antics. They're perfectly happy running the numbers and doing math in their own little corner away from everyone else.
>
>
> While appearing female at first, Masashi is actually a masculine name. This is because Masashi was born with mismatching body parts, and thus does not identify as male or female. They don't face a terrible amount of discrimination because of this, Masashi is on the Council after all, but they still get stared and whispered about.
