Hanami: Curse of the Forest

Poll_Panther
It started in the Village hidden in the Leaves during the First great Shinobi war. The peace brought by the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju did not last as ambition assailed the villages, greed for Ressources, Glory and Power. The conflict's escalation for the first war began on the fateful day of Hashirama's death. Thus, the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju rose to Power. But he lacked the power and respect his elder brother had commanded and soon found himself assailed on all fronts. Slowly, the pressure chipped away at Morals and wishes, giving way to Pragmatism and necessity. More and more Jutsu were developed, all in hope to strengthen the leaf. More and more lines were crossed, all in hopes of protecting his older brothers legacy. Until, even that line was crossed. And the right arm of the Legendary Hashirama Senju was cut off away from his corpse and molded into a human. But as the experiment failed, the Hokage finally took notice of the depravity hanging around him, leading to him locking away forbidden Jutsu and disposing of Experimentation. Until years later, during the rise of the third Hokage and the tension between villages rising during the Second Great Shinobi War, the experiment was discovered, reassembled and begun anew. And this time, it did not fail as the vitality of Hashirama's chakra was balanced with the hateful red eye of the Uchiha. Thus, a curse awakened, the very spirit of the first Hokage and the forest, howling in protest at the depravity of the Shinobi world.

True Blood: The Blood King

After dying of a heart attack at thirty-four, a high-level executive wakes up in a shallow grave in the Louisiana woods. He’s transmigrated into the body of Samuel Huffman, a 150-year-old vampire "nobody" who was recently staked and left for dead. Bonded to the Vampire Monarch System, Samuel realizes that in the world of True Blood, age usually equals power—but his system is the ultimate equalizer. While the vampire world is busy "mainstreaming" with synthetic blood, Samuel uses his corporate instincts and supernatural interface to build a kingdom from the margins of Bon Temps. From manipulating the Authority to building a loyal nest, he’s not just surviving the night; he’s rewriting the hierarchy. The System: Vampire Monarch Blood Potency (BP): The core measure of power. While other vampires wait centuries to grow stronger, Samuel can accelerate his BP through strategic actions and "consuming" influence, allowing a young-looking vampire to hit with the force of an Elder. Glamour & Mental Influence: A specialized skill tree that enhances the natural vampire ability to hypnotize. Samuel can invest points to bypass the mental resistance of humans and even cloud the minds of other supernatural beings. Territory & Dominion: The system provides a tactical overlay of Bon Temps and beyond. Claiming "Dominion" over a location provides passive resource generation (wealth and blood supply) and alerts Samuel to any rival vampires entering his turf. Lineage & Progeny Management: This function allows Samuel to track the loyalty and growth of his "children" (vampires he turns). It ensures his bloodline remains fanatically loyal, creating a built-in army that grows as he does.
