/dsw/ notes
As a thread, we are rather devoted to Salome, and everything about her. Numberfags are our worst enemy, and while we are horny sometimes, i wouldn't say we are a horny thread at all. rather calm thread too.
ideas:
I think for a nation, we would play heavily on maintaining kayfabe or make ourselves very very aristocratic in a way. We would have a sophisticated culture, but underlying lack of sophistication.
I think a cultural trait would be we are great at acting. we would as a whole be eccentric too.
hamburger would be our national dish and every sentence must end in desu wa.
religion is harder to think about because i did my reps and i think fitting in with what 2434 and nijimales has already makes sense for us.
i think a lot of time would be put into appearance.
numberfags, as mentioned, are our most despised enemy and a threat to us. we would have a large series of wars with them.
also, another think is i think we would be energetic overall.
there is so much to draw from Salome's lore that would fit perfectly. Despite being an ojou nation, i see us being humble in a way.
many of these ideas can be ironed out easier and I think it is a good base overall because i can build on existing lore that 2434 and nijimales has and use it to build dsw the way it should be since they are our sister threads.
basic ideas:
Capital: Tsukiyama
Name of state: Kingdom of Tsukiyama Oukoku Tsukiyama
Language: Tsukigo
Seiou is the King's title.
Ruler: Seiou Tsugutsura Ashikaga
Dynasty: Ashikaga
Holy city idea:
Inland, between two mountains on hill overlooking river.
traditionally the western capital of the empire, many shrines, temples and holy sites, palaces, etc. A grand city.
Religious Ideas:
Still Nijishindo but more radical.
"Cult of the 1,000,000"
2300 hours local time is an hour of prayer.
Seisens:
There would be more than just this first one.
Ultimate form of purification of the soul.
"Taking up the sign of the moon"
"Sword of Nijisanji"
Seinaru Chitsujo (Holy Orders) and Kishidan (Chivalric Orders)
Examples are the Orden des Heiligen Mondes (Order of the Holy Moon), 100 bannin no seinaru chitsujo (Holy Order of the One Million), Chevaliers de Notre-Dame Salomé (Knights of our Lady Salome), sasori no kishidan (Knights of the Scorpion).
Story plot ideas:
Fall of the holy city, it gets sacked and desecrated.
Tsunatatsu Ashikaga receives a vision as about the destruction of Tsukiyama. Desu Wa is the word that sticks.
Receives more visions over the years about this, no one can explain it to him until the coming of Salome (how that works, idk).
He realizes his duty and starts preaching about Desu Wa, and the need to retake the city. Petitions Shogun but is rejected but persists.
Eventually raises a large army and amounts of gold to accomplish this task and sets out by boat with the Emperor proclaiming it as Seisen.
Whole campaign in nutshell is a series of setbacks which cause the Seisen to feel dishearten, but their leaders and "divine providence" reinvigorates them. Leaders include Tsunatatsu Ashikaga, Murakami Takeyoshi, Takenaka Shigeharu, Wakisaka Yasuharu, Yamadera Aritomo, Karl-Heinz von Lehwaldt, Boudewijn van Damme.
Eventually take the city, and Tsunatatsu Ashikaga is declared Seiou.
Civic and culture Ideas:
Every man a gentleman, Every woman a lady.
Aristocracy exists but it's not an exclusive club.
All men want to be an Ousama and all women Ojousama
schools train even the poorest to become a lady or gentleman.
Government is Feudal
Foreign relations:
Autonomous Vassal of the Tsukinode Empire
Very close with all Niji threads.
unfriendly to many holo threads, but not hostile to all. Some more than others.
Hostile to warkop and watamelon. (lore wise, we don't have issues with either thread.)
Extremely hostile to /#/, i cannot imagine a scenario where they arent our mortal enemies.
