The major clans are the Tachibana (Scholars), Koga (Military), Iga (Industry), and the leading clan Tokugawa (Politicians and Businessmen). Under these clans, several minor clans also operate. The Core is a group dedicated to the protection of the Hanahoshi Islands, the advancement of technology and the supervision of a free and open society. It’s controlled by the directors of the leading clans with the Tokugawa at the head; a seemingly stable system. However, despite the outward appearance of cooperation, it is no mystery to the population of the constant acts of espionage and sabotage which occur in the background as each clan vies for more prosperity, influence, and respect. On the Isles of Hanahoshi, a clan (or family) must go to great lengths for the smallest amount of honour, a delicate prize which can be instantly stripped from them at the slightest hint of shame.<br><br>The Core, once known as CAAI (Pronounced Kai; Citizens Against Artificial Intelligence), was a movement which began on mainland Japan in the year 2015 by a group critical of the transference of powers from a human government to an Artificial Intelligence, one which would come to be called Gaia. While they started small, CAAI soon attracted the attention of some of the larger families of Japan and, after several brushes with the law, decided to use their newfound wealth and influence to exile themselves in favour of creating a new and free society. Thus the islands of Hanahoshi were settled and developed in the year 2020. Since then CAAI has become “The Core”, a move that has left citizens sceptical. Many of the people of Hanahoshi feel that “The Core” has been twisted into nothing more than a means of maintaining control for a privileged elite.</span></div> </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">HANAHOSHI MAP</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/fea725c6.jpg)</div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">CITIES OF HANAHOSHI</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/0dea2086.png)<br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/d3d292d9.jpg)<br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/51ceb0d1.jpg)<br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/d637c7cc.jpg)<br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/a2144d86.jpg)<br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/4d8d37a6.jpg)</div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Rural Areas:</strong><br>Rural Towns and Hamlets of all shapes and sizes are scattered throughout the Isles, each with their own customs and cultures. Some retain a connection to a nearby city but most are content to live detached from the clans and the rest of Hanahoshi. Urban citizens have a habit of looking down on their rural kin, seeing them as uneducated barbarians. This myth is constantly propagated through searing exposés on rural life, where journalists pick out the worst rural villagers to create a report on. The media hardly cares for a balanced review in light of how well shock and horror sells.</span></div></div></div><br><hr><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">OTHER SCHOOLS OF HANAHOSHI</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Uniforms/54bc6996.jpg)</div><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Bijuu High:</strong><br>Bijuu High was created to accommodate the increasing numbers of students trying to make their way into Tachibana High.&nbsp; The Tachibana Clan has always believed that education is a tool that should be given freely without fear or favour, with this in mind they allowed students to enrol based on a first-come-first-serve policy rather than influence or wealth. The education provided by the Tachibana was widely sought however and so it wasn’t long before the increased demand forced the Tachibana to create a new school. Bijuu High follows a similar system to Tachibana High, to the point where it has become like a rival, but this hasn’t stopped many from seeing it as inferior to the original.</span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Uniforms/90cbeb0b.png)</div><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Tokugawa College:</strong><br>The Tokugawa College of Kamigawa is a snobby, upper crust, school where the right of admission is determined based on the size of the cheque being offered. It outclasses all other schools of Hanahoshi when it comes to equipment, facilities and technology, but suffers from a reputation which includes everything from fixed exam results to debauchery between staff and students. There are actually student cliques, with powerful parents, which have more control over the school than the staff themselves. Despite this all it is still considered the place to be if a person wants to gain a foothold in the cutthroat world of business and politics. The school also suffers under a constant barrage of claims of cheating by the other schools, claims which only increase after every intercollegiate tournament.</span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div> <br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Uniforms/2a0861f2.jpg)</div><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Koga Military Academy:</strong><br>The Koga Military Academy is known for its strength on the field and court, to the point where some have wondered if they might not be relying on some sort of “assistance.” The truth of the matter however is that the students are simply treated like soldiers and forced to undergo rigorous training exercises, day in and out. Pupils are completely cut off from their family once enrolled for the year and are stripped of any possessions before being assigned a barracks and instructor. They have your basic classes, such as English, Maths, History, etc., but the majority of the day is taken up by physical activity. Failure to pass academically is met with punishment while failure to pass the physical exercises is met with outright expulsion.</span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>City of Nagoya:</strong><br>The city of Nagoya relies on a series of informal institutions rather than a proper school.

Many are still confused over the decision as both were considered to be highly regarded amongst student and staff alike. A few of the remaining staff, commenting under the condition of anonymity, have stated that they feel the executive was the main target while the others were simply unfortunate casualties, caught in the crossfire for their bravery to speak out. A spokesperson for the Tachibana clan has denied such claims however stating that the dismissals were part of plan to revamp the High School in preparation for the coming year. He says the board had been deliberating for months before they came to their final decision and hadn’t simply acted on a whim as implied by alarmists. The Spokesperson assures those concerned over the recent events that the new staff members were handpicked from the best and would ensure a stable learning environment for the students. Attempts to reach the new Principal Jacques LaCroix and Vice Principal Benjamin Fairfax met with little success.</span><br><br><hr><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Headline:</strong> UN Delegates Due Tomorrow<br><strong>Date:</strong> Monday, January 7, 2075<br>Both the Core and UN have confirmed the arrival of several delegates tomorrow to the city Bijuu, where discussions on the increasing tension between Hanahoshi and Japan will begin in earnest. Queries on whether the Tokugawa were concerned over possible mentions of Hanahoshi’s weapon development were scoffed at, with one board member going so far as to say, “They can discuss it until they’re blue in the face, we’re not going to handicap our military for the sake of a foreigner’s peace of mind.” In related news, the Koga have promised to send their own troops to beef up security alongside the Tachibana for the meeting, a move that many speculate was forced upon the Clan of Scholars by the Tokugawa. A spokesperson for the Tachibana insists that there is no shame in allowing the Koga to participate but many political analysts note that there’s obviously a lack of faith in the Tachibana’s security forces. It will no doubt take the clan some time to recover from the blow to their honour. </span> <br><br><hr><br></div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">TACHIBANA HIGH NEWS</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br><hr><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Headline:</strong> Hugs, Kisses and Welcomes!<br><strong>Date:</strong> Monday, January 7, 2075<br>I hope you’re all as ecstatic as I am to kick off this bright New Year!<br><br>Unfortunately, there’s little to report on (being the first day of school and all) and what little there is I’m not even allowed to report on.
