This is my first storybook so you guys will have to tell me if I'm doing something wrong....

It's 1192AD and Minamoto Yoritomo has been appointed as Shogun. The clan lords do not like this so they have sent out Ninjas/Geishas to kill him. The Shogun is protected by an elite Samurai bodyguard and it will be hard for the assassins to reach him. You can be the Samurai bodyguards, the Ninja sent to assassinate the shogun, the Geisha, a Clan lord or anyone else you can think of.

Rules:
No god/godlike abilities/powers, but you can use small magic (no big curse/death spell/enchantments)
No killing other peoples characters without their permission
Post a profile before you jump into the story

If these don't work some more rules can be made up as we go along....

Shigeru stood beside the Shogun as he made his adress to the public. Shigeru wore his traditional red samrai armour and watched the crwod for any sign of an assassin. There was another Samurai on the other side of the Shogun, dressed exactly like him, in the red armour of the Shoguns bodygaurd.
