Here's a bit of history I've been working on for the G and O Labs.<br/><br/>Created shortly after the Great Depression had worn off, G and O Labs started simply when Tenkai found an abandoned site while on his many wanderings through the ever changing world. He felt that the place would be important in the future, and immediately set to work to securing the rights and permits he would need to make his dream a reality. Having invested what little money he had when he had first came to America over the years, he had more than enough to do whatever he wished by this time, even after the great fall when tensions were at their highest point. Construction began shortly before the second great war, and it was with Tenkai's genius that helped fund the research into the atom bomb that would be later used against Japan in both of its major cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Manhattan Project was not what he had in mind however, but rather he helped get the process started by trying to figure a way to get clean energy by pointing the true man behind the equation in the right direction, nothing more. That was his first mistake, and Tenkai has tried to do what he can to repair the damage ever since. The second came later, twenty years later when a small outbreak of Genma occurred in the lab due to insufficient security despite repeated requests for more funding to our nation's government. The president at the time thought it a bunch of hogwash what he and others were trying to do, and found out the hard way when a dozen simple drones got out and started attacking everyone they saw. Thankfully the incident was small and the mess cleaned up relatively quickly, and Tenkai got the money he needed, as well as assurances that his research would be one of the most closely guarded secrets next to Roswell and the assassination of JFK. Many of today's inventions were thanks to the wandering priest and wise man and those that have worked with the kind and compassionate warrior, but the secrets kept behind G and O Labs are still there, among the 300 floors of titanium reinforced doors and the most sophisticated security and magical defenses that anyone could ever imagine.<br/><br/>The labs is just a setting for Tenkai and whoever else wants to start in New York.  You don't have to start out here, but you will have to find a way to get here when the Genma start popping up.<br/><br/>Genma Research notes, straight from Tenkai's personal computer....<br/><br/>It has been recorded and I have seen hundreds of variations on the same. Genma are able to adapt as surely as we can, assimilating technology as they see fit to do so and given enough help from the smarter of the Genma warlords. Gilderstern was one such example; a Genma scientist that was as mad as they came. During the events of the time fold that no one thankfully remembers except two people who I shall not record here as requested when I last saw them years ago, the Genma were seen with modern day body armor and weapons welded onto their bodies or fused into them in some way. Five hundred years ago and the same could be said for the giant mecha warriors that were sent against Soki and the others. It would not surprise me to find that if another war started today to see Genma Tanks of the like that only the first Onimusha had seen during the first wars between our two peoples, with plenty of weaponry from our time to lay waste to whole city blocks. It is my fear that such an event, despite all the breakthroughs we've had, would push humanity to the brink of extinction. For now, I pray daily to the Oni Gods that such a catastrophe is not allowed to repeat itself as it did five hundred years ago.<br/><br/>As I've said before, I won't get bent out of shape if it's not canon, so don't worry about that my friends.  However, I won't allow someone to go bare handed against the Genma either.  Weapons are required, as are elements attached to them and you as well.  If you want to fight with metal gloves, go for it, but no bare handed punching or kicking is all I ask.  I had someone else try that on RolePlayGateway and I wouldn't go for it there, so don't try it here is all I ask.
