SHINZU

Xronins; the X here stands for Xeno (foreign) and Ronins refers to the Japanese term for 'masterless samurai'. Our story is based around a metaverse torn by differences in teachings and dojos where one's strength determines their social status. This gave rise to many different schools and sword fighting techniques represented by different samurais.

Shuri was a dojo master in a remote village teaching the art of Shizukesa-Kenjitsu (serenity sword style) which was extremely hard to master and hence made his Dojo very unpopular. In an attempt to draw eyes to his Shizukesa-Kenjitsu; he entered the metaverse sword fighting competition where samurais masters from all around the metaverse come together to claim which Dojo and technique is the alpha among them all.

Upon doing so he was gravely defeated and wounded making him unable to ever battle again. Bedridden, ashamed, and broken a ghostly apparition appeared before him introducing itself as the yokai Oni-sama, the king of demons. In exchange for his soul, he would be given all the power and strength he seeks. He abandoned his students and the dojo and abused those powers which left all of his students without a teacher or a master, hence they became known as Xronins. Shuri had then destroyed all of the dojos of the metaverse ensuring to abolish all of the competing samurai masters leading to the uprising of the Xronin who now made a vow to put an end to Shuri's wrath and to restore peace to the metaverse - follow their story!
