	:: '''Geta''' (下駄) are a form of traditional Japanese footwear that are a kind of sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due to their extra height and impermeability compared to other shoes such as zori. <br> There are several different styles of geta. The most familiar style in the West consists of an unfinished wooden board called a dai (台, stand) that the foot is set upon, with a cloth thong (鼻緒, hanao) that passes between the big toe and second toe. As geta are usually worn only with yukata or other informal Japanese clothes or Western clothes, there is no need to wear socks. <br> The two supporting pieces below the base board, called "teeth" (歯 ha), are also made of wood, usually very light-weight kiri (桐, paulownia) and make a distinctive "clacking" sound while walking: カランコロン or karankoron. A traditional saying in Japanese translates as "You don't know until you have worn geta." This means roughly, "you can't tell the results until the game is over." <br> Merchants use very high geta (two long "teeth") to keep the feet well above the seafood scraps on the floor. The "teeth" are usually not separate, instead, the geta is carved from one block of wood. The "teeth" of any geta may have harder wood drilled into the bottom of the "teeth" to avoid splitting, and the soles of the "teeth" may have rubber soles glued onto them. <br> The hanao can be wide and padded, or narrow and hard, and it can be made with many sorts of fabric. Printed cotton with traditional Japanese motifs is popular, but there are also geta with vinyl and leather hanao. According to Japanese superstition, breaking the thong on one's geta is considered very unlucky. <br> <br> '''Okobo''' are wooden sandals worn by maiko (apprentice geisha) during their apprenticeship. Okobo are very tall, and usually made from a block of willow wood. Usually, the wood has either no finish or a natural finish, but during the summer months, maiko will wear black-lacquered okobo. They are held to the foot by simple thong-like straps in colors that represent their maiko status. Red straps are worn by new maiko, yellow are worn by maiko that are nearly done with their apprenticeship. <br> Alternatively, okobo are referred to as "pokkuri" or "koppori". These names come from the sound okobo make when walking. <br> '''Hidden Compartments''': Kassie has fashioned small compartments in the hard-wooden soles of her shoes. It was "the Necessary Evil" who showed her this technique long ago. She generally hides minor trinkets, keys and such inside for safe keeping.

Apprentice geisha, also called "maiko", wear their special geta (see below) with tabi to accommodate the hanao. <br> The two supporting pieces below the base board, called "teeth" (歯 ha), are also made of wood, usually very light-weight kiri (桐, paulownia) and make a distinctive "clacking" sound while walking: カランコロン or karankoron~~. This is sometimes mentioned as one of the sounds that older Japanese miss most in modern life~~. A traditional saying in Japanese translates as "You don't know until you have worn geta." This means roughly, "you can't tell the results until the game is over." <br> The dai may vary in shape: oval ("more feminine") to rectangular ("more masculine") and color (natural, lacquered, or stained). The ha may also vary in style; for example, tengu-geta have only a single centered "tooth". There are also less common geta with three "teeth". Merchants use~~(d)~~ very high geta (two long "teeth") to keep the feet well above the seafood scraps on the floor. The "teeth" are usually not separate, instead, the geta is carved from one block of wood~~. The tengu "tooth" is, however, strengthened by a special attachment~~. The "teeth" of any geta may have harder wood drilled into the bottom of the "teeth" to avoid splitting, and the soles of the "teeth" may have rubber soles glued onto them. <br> The hanao can be wide and padded, or narrow and hard, and it can be made with many sorts of fabric. Printed cotton with traditional Japanese motifs is popular, but there are also geta with vinyl and leather hanao. Inside the hanao is a cord (recently synthetic, but traditionally hemp) that is knotted in a special way to the three holes of the dai. In the wide hanao there is some padding as well. The hanao are replaceable. It sits between the two first toes because having the thong of rectangular geta anywhere but the middle would result in the inner back corners of the geta colliding when walking. Recently, as Western shoes have become more popular, more Western looking geta have been developed. They are more round in shape, may have an ergonomically shaped dai, a thick heel as in Western clogs, instead of separate "teeth", and the thong at the side as in flip-flops. According to Japanese superstition, breaking the thong on one's geta is considered very unlucky. <br> '''Okobo''' are wooden sandals worn by maiko (apprentice geisha) during their apprenticeship. Okobo are very tall, and usually made from a block of willow wood. Usually, the wood has either no finish or a natural finish, but during the summer months, maiko will wear black-lacquered okobo. They are held to the foot by simple thong-like straps in colors that represent their maiko status. Red straps are worn by new maiko, yellow are worn by maiko that are nearly done with their apprenticeship. <br> Alternatively, okobo are referred to as "pokkuri" or "koppori". These names come from the sound okobo make when walking. <br> '''Hidden Compartments''': Kassie has fashioned small compartments in the hard-wooden soles of her shoes. It was "the Necessary Evil" who showed her this technique long ago. She generally hides minor trinkets, keys and such inside for safe keeping. The compartments also act as a nice, if not jarring, little place for Saxon to ride along.

			[[Image:Cassies-shoes.gif\|thumb\|'''''A little girl and her shoes...''' <br> <small>'''Geta''' (下駄) are a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resembles both clogs and flip-flops. They are a kind of sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. They are worn with traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono or yukata, but (in Japan) also with Western clothing during the summer months. Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due to their extra height and impermeability compared to other shoes such as zori. <br> There are several different styles of geta.

But one with the charisma to lead within the holes and haunts that he inhabits. His nose is peaked and pointed like a vulture, with a bald head and sloped ears. His teeth are more like a rat, jutting his lip out as he flicks his greasy tongue over them constantly. He's unusually thin but you'd never know it for all the layers of cloths he wears, shedding them down when he needs to slip into places or change his appearance even more drastically.
	::* Brief Skill/Abilities of note.		::* Short Background, why they know me: Mr. Blynne is as much an outcast as Kassie is in many ways... He constantly "surfs" between ports, staying only long enough to build "business" contacts ... which he eventually angers with his sharp "I should be running this outfit" attitude. He then slips aboard a freighter or galleon to a port where the people have never heard of him or (more frequently) have been culled out of the "business" population (ie. killed in deals gone sour). His business... he's in the business that no one wants to talk about... he'll do the dirty work passing traitor's dialogues and messages, spying when needed, working the gallows so that he can overhear information that he can use to sell or trade. <br> As for why someone like Kassie would know this "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagin Fagin]", imagine the little girl playing on the Golden Ivory's ship and low and behold, down in the bilge she finds this stow-away... Rather than turning him in (as she perhaps should have) Mr. Blynne bartered with the little girl... Soon (over the course of the weeks at sea) she learned to use her small/thin form in similar ways that old Mr. Blynne could. Lurking and leaping rafter to rafter, rigging to rigging. She kept him hidden and now and then he takes her up on this hidden passage for any world on the street that she can offer back to her crew and captain, or perhaps even just a story or new technique.
	::* When/Where last scene by me.		::* Brief Skill/Abilities of note: Running and lurking the high places of the darker places above the streets is his signature ability.

			::::::::* Brief character description and personality: calm and even, willing to take any amount of punishment - phycial or mental. I imagine his as a mountain of a man but extremely dexterous (imagine [http://www.getsalt.com/upload/AMCHOP06.jpg Paul Sr. from American Chopper]).
			::::::::* Short Background, why they know me: This ally is a retired former commander in the '''Tepet Verilion Legion''' assigned to care for Kassie. He became loyal and loving of the child & is now secret Dragon-Blood aid. The Old Strong knew and cared for Kassie's mother a great deal. Some (the Roseblack) taunt that Kassie is more likely the prodigy of old Commander Koss ... while this is likely untrue (as the Old Strong, though he loved Kassie's mother would likely not have been disloyal to the Tepets) it is known widely that the Old Strong had loved Windswept Candle (Kassie's mother) from the day they met, over a decade ago. This love translated into an apathy for following the orders of the Tepet family for the Old Strong which led to one of the greatest defeats in the history of the Verilion Legion, or at least that's what it has been told... In reality, the Old Strong would have died on that battlefield that day fighting and defending for the house he swore oath to... But it was the arts of a sorceror who was hidden on the battlefield that twisted what men saw, making the Old Strong seem weak and less than loyal. It was something the strong general could never overcome. His rank was demoted to that of a lesser commander by the end of those battles, and soon was ushered out unceramoniously - many bitter Tepets passive agressively had him keep his title of commander and the sobriquet (that he'd earned) of the Old Strong. But they did so with smirks and laughter behind the old man. He retired to become the chief of care for Kassie, again a slap in the face taunting him from Kassie's father - almost baiting the Old Strong to say "you couldn't have my concubine and you will protect our child".... to the Old Strongs surprise the child grew in his heart and the rest is an 11 year old dedication of history watching over Kassie... until the Silver Falcon was stolen!
			::::::::* Brief Skill/Abilities of note: the Old Strong has a top tier power of his own, something that's focused like a razor blade in war... something that's a one shot kill. But he rarely uses it. Instead he relies on his strong skill of tactics and war knowledge... knowing the history and logistics of nearly every battle on record, so that he can use the information to lead men.
			::::::::* When/Where last scene by me: the Old Strong is probably hating himself for whatever reason he was not watching over Kassie that day she exalted and was kidnapped by the crew of the Silver Falcon. It might have been that Kassie's Exaltation took him by surprise blasting him (with her Thunder of Heaven charm) a dozen yards into the sea while the ship and Kassie sailed away. He's likely now hunting for her and should be catching up soon. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not tracked her down into the islands and is waiting there for the Silver Falcon to return... to seek vengence on its captain for kidnapping Kassie!!
