Akiko was born on Atrisian, the daughter of a noble family she was actually the youngest and just barely knew her sister and brother. Their mothers obsession with status and raising their family in the Atrisian court making her sell her sister to the much loved Keisei. Her brother was sent to the inquisition under Emperor Akio. She though was destined to become a handmaiden to one of the lords of the Imperial court... her mother sheltered her... keeping her locked away in the house at Jar'kai where she was privately trained in preforming arts. Musical scores, opera, ballet and other dancing. Things that would help her entertain and gain the attention or favor of members of the court and with it raise her mothers status. her father wanting her to be happy tried to stop her but died shortly of unknown complications after the battle of Atrisia from the lords of the fringe leaders

.Akiko then was kept at court as Akio and his sister later died and a new emperor was chosen. The young girl able to dance and entertain the others within the court itself to try and gain the favor of one of them to be her patron and send her around to preform other shows. Her mother was proud and as she was encouraged to dance for the current chamberlain of the emperor who worked to handle the day to day. He favored her but there was danger... war was coming as the one sith attacked the planet and the emperor was killed. Mythos taking the time to kill his family as the chamberlain fled the palace and took several with him including her. Under the guise she was sent off world with others to go to school as resistance movements were brought up.
She didn't want to do it and the chance that they had of rebuilding was important. It wasn't a long lasting chance though as more wars came and she joined the resistance with the chamberlain and his second in command. As he ascended into the position of emperor in exile his friend from childhood became the new chamberlain and lead general leading their forces. Akiko found him well endearing. Tamakatsura was older then her having been wed twice with his first wife dying in childbirth and the other killed when a tower that was destroyed by the Lords of the Fringe fell on the streets where they were fleeing. Sad fates but she was certain she could last as her first thoughts were he wouldn't be so bad.... however she was also of interest to Genji the emperor and Tamakatsura loved his friend more then his own thoughts.
That was in her mind one of the biggest regrets that her choosing... no more begging for Tamakatsura to take her away and keep her safe. She did it so much that when it happened... a rift was formed between the life long friends. The general being not threatened but asked to go and secure the northern lands in case the Horse lords of atrisia think to rise up. Tamakatsura agreed and stayed to the northern continents fighting the war while Genji stayed in the southern continents. She and Tamakatsura were wed and quickly she was with their first child. The boy survived the battles and in one of the larger battles of the war to get Atrisian independence Tamakatsura was bring overrun by the last remnants of mythos forces and what mercenaries or beings the One sith had brought.
Akiko feared the worse but then she did something that she didn't know how to justify. She begged Genji to save them. His forces were there and it would do little to help him if he lost a portion of his army. The emperor never responded and when the forces had been driven back to their fortress. Then dawn broke as they expected to be overrun and reports that the emperor had come. Baring down upon the forces and flanking them as they were assaulting the fortress. Akiko was overwhelmed and Tamakatsura rode to try and join them with what forces they had. Genji entered the throne room as the last of the mercenaries were fighting and took a blade to his chest that was meant for Tamakatsura and Akiko's son. The emperor dying in the arms of his friend and her.
Tamakatsura ascended to the position of emperor and the hopefully end of war was coming. Akiko had a second child at the end of the war and named him Genji. A few years went by and she had had a third child. The Keisei were even there to offer Zankokuna Utsukushi-Sa to chronicle their lives and what had happened. She learned a few things... namely as she met the Keisei and she seemed familiar enough... Zanko was the first one to reveal it and why she had been sent to the empress. She was her elder sister and this was a means to make it seem comfortable. Akiko entrusted her three chldren to her and the youngest named Chiyo was taught over the years by her older sister. The emperor trying to rebuild and refogrge all that had been lost into something that would at least be able to survive hopefully.
That was not to last just as the people were starting to recover from the horrors that had been subjected upon them by Mythos and his foreign invaders... he returned with another fleet of warships and sought to take the planet. Seemed that whatever he was doing had failed and he was driven off so coming back to someplace he had been able to destroy their defensive fleets and forces was easier. The new resistance that was set up saw Akiko and her children being moved around and placed in different locations. her most loyal guards and the generals Hanzo, Tama and Jubei fighting to protect and win in different areas alongside the emperor. Akiko was safe but she heard about some of the attacks and their family was being hunted. Genji was the first to be found and killed, the recording sent out for all to see.
her eldest survived long enough and fought against them. Showing skill as a tactician but they were betrayed to enemy forces and killed. The last was her Chiyo who was attacked and Zenko tortured for trying to protect her. When Akiko refused to reveal herself she lost all three of her children and her husband swore as much vengeance as could be given. Their generals rallied the people and tragedy brought the people into the fight. They managed to retake Atrisia in the end and in the aftermath there was a small handful of tragedies. Akiko didn't know what to do but it was brought up the emperor and empress needed an heir. Her husband picked one of the few skilled who had survived and he was from a family.
Shoma Ike
though was welcomed and she lavished upon him what she could.His being chosen as the heir to them was something as the first order came to Atrisia. They dealed with them... they worked to ensure they would be able to recover and rebuild after the constant wars and after the destruction at Jar'kai she wanted to try and protect things. They managed that as Shoma negotiated the construction of the great wall, they were not able to rebuild in many ways but recovering where they could for now saw a sense of normal return to the people... they were back to farming and starting to manufacture. The time under the first order was well... it wasn't as horrible as it could have been. They had been beaten down so much and lost so much that the planet didn't have the means to resist and the first order didn't make unreasonable demands. They could live with that.
The first order helped shield them, give them a chance to rebuild as a third attempt by mythos came after and was repelled quicker. The wall being built and stopping his machinations as Akiko fell into a perpetual melancholy that her husband tried to get her out of. The Imperial palace was silent, the halls that might have had the sound of footsteps had become silent and Akiko spent most of her time in her chambers. Shoma was lavished, his sister a welcomed sight but they had duties to try and helkp the people... so the Emperor allowed her to do something. Plan a festival that would honor those who had passed on.
She planned it and it was a rather beautiful thing where memorials were held for everyone. Several hundred came to express grief and share it with her over the loses as the palaces stores were opened and for three days wines flowed. Exotic ones that had been getting better and more refined throughout the ages. The peopel called her the empress of Rice wine to try and cheer her up but they also sought to uplift each other as it was noted there was a population boom after all of the wars. The Jishi era was coming into its beginnings and Akiko found a hobby in her wanting to save and protect the children who were orphaned with all of the wars.
She found a new purpose... she could do that and they were beginning something new here.. with aid from the colonies that had been attacked the people started ushering in the Jishi era of the Commonwealth. They started to become more isolated... they started to work on rebuilding everything from the ground up and when Mythos returned again with a massive fleet to destroy. People that Shoma had met within the CIS came, a brave fleet commander like
Kyyrk
and someone from a group in the unknown regions.
Scherezade deWinter
brought her group who would aid in the fighting purposes they had going on and repelling the attack as well as the ones afterwards saw the large infrastructure remain intact and with
Srina Talon
and her... friend... consort... boyfriend Atrisia joined the CIS.The change didn't bring much if anything
John Locke
who was placed in charge just ignored them which was what they wanted. A chance to rebuild and advance their technological improvements that were built to focus on rebuilding. For the orphaned children on Atrisia and the colonies that were brought in Akiko restarted and brought the ancient Sansins back. What had started as a means for an emperor to manage his children became a family and she adopted them all... clothed them, fed them and welcomed them into the rooms of the palaces so the sounds of feet running around could be heard again. Akiko's mood improved for the most part.. she still had scars, some physicalk and some mental from the wars and ordeals but she knew how to present a better front.changelog: Fixed links
