Plot
Chosen by history, a man becomes a warrior.
Engraved into history, a warrior becomes a hero.
- Song by a 14th century troubadour
Transcending history, and the world,
A tale of souls and swords, eternally retold.
- Anonymous
Countless legends revolve around the sword Soul Edge. Some claim it to be the ultimate weapon. Others refer to it as the Sword of Heroes; a phantom sword with immesureable power of the spirits; a key to eternal youth; a treasure without equal; a panacea to cure all illnesses. There are also those who consider it to be the sword of salvations.
Although various folklore of soul Edge spread across the world, its true nature was unmistakebly evil. It was a demonic sword, that fed on human souls.
At the same time of Soul Edge's uprising, which happens once the blade finds a strong host to wield it, another mysterious spirit sword named Soul Calibur appears in the hands of a true hero, appearing as if to answer humanity's cry of help. Throughout history, the two swords have clashed, wielded by many different warriors, but the results have always been the same. Both swords have vanished from existence for a time, and the warriors who carry them are constantly forgotten, swept away as if ashes in the wind.
Human nature has always been to question myth and legend. With this quality, as well as greed and pride, the sword Soul Edge has constantly existed. With its longer existence the balance of Yin and Yang, darkness and light, has swayed one way or the other. However, because it exists, many warriors have quested to find the eternal blade.
Now starts the journey of other warriors. With fragments of soul Edge in hand, all wish to end the immeasurable quest for Soul Edge, and be proclaimed ultimate warrior...
(It is set in a world of magic, technology and close combat, but only close - combat, almost archaic weaponry is allowed to be used. For reasons of fairness, at very least.)

Characters can only use one form of weapon style e.g a character could only use different forms of Katana while another could only use nunchucks. All weapons must take 1 advantage and disadvantage, also for every advantage you must take a disadvantage.
12. Magic is allowed, but discouraged. You may only use it if you take either the weapon types of staves or canes. If you want to use magic you must take two disadvantages instead of the usual one, and I will say if you are allowed that sort of magic.

History: Zera was a member of the sole surviving clan of the Swiss Alpine slopes, the Xandik Clan. One fateful day, while Zera was still a child, a group of nefarious bandits came to the village and attacked the popualtion. Bitterly outnumbered, the clan fought on, but was defeated by the bandit group.
Zera, still alive and the only member left in the clan, was adopted by the bandit group, and taught how to fend for himself. He was taught how to salvage, plunder, pillage and burn, as well as to cook and to battle. Once he turned 16, he was gifted by the bandit leader his sword, Zweihander, which was originally his parents sword. During the party which followed the ceremony, the drunken leader told Zera how he had come into the group. Devastated, Zera slew every member of the bandits. Clenched in the teeth of the last victim of Zera's rage, the bandit captain himself, was a strange metallic fragment. This was a part of Soul Edge, and was the captain's greatest treasure. Zera searched the scrolls of the bandit library, and found documents about Soul Edge, the ultimate weapon. Ensnared by the immense power the weapon supposedly possessed, Zera set out on his journey to find and recover the ancient blade...
