"Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men."
-Miyamoto Mushashi

Many men fell during the 5 year long Genpei War in 1180 - 1185. This war would result in Clan Taira's downfall, and the rise of the Minamoto. But what could be said for the souls that drowned in the naval battle of Dan-no-ura? Or the various other spirits, from both sides, left lingering after the bloodshed? While mortal minds left wondering, the gods had a specific dream in mind for their subjects. To battle onward, to an unknown eternity. To be resurrected over and over once more, until the gods themselves grow tired of the massacre.

Two clans, constantly at war with one another. Fated to die and be reborn, over and over, into eternity.
The first clan, Minamoto is a clan of stature, grace, and excess. They consider themselves more pure and more chosen than their counterpart, even though a man is still a man and no more. They are pale in tone, with undercurrents of blue in their grey and white coats. Like a flowers sudden bloom, or the sun's mighty rise, Minamoto are most recognizable by the striking appearance of their eyes, which gaze with a hot reddish orange. They favor the sun and the sea, having a unique talent for fishing and for defending their homes.

I should add that while there are obvious parallels between the two real life samurai clans and the real Genpei war, I made a few alterations to the clans and the characters that are either opposite, assumptions, or straight up just not true that were added in order to make the story more engaging or colorful.
