Well, you'd be right and since the core storyline is centred upon a group of sixteen year olds enrolling in 'Kamino High', a kind of military high school which trained the fighters of the land, and then getting embroiled in an underlying sea of both Divine and inter-region conspiracies and unproven prophesy, well I really see no point in denying or trying to hide my influences. Now reading just the names, place names and general structure of the world you've probably guessed that I was likely more then just a little inspired and influence by a lot of Japanese Anime, Japanese Language and culture and JRPG's. Kamino was Light, Kyroko was Darkness, Rynomo was Earth/Nature (could really be called either) and Tymoko was Water.

Each region also had it's own Elemental Affinity which was connected to their Divinity and stood as the basis for each Region's power. For 1000 years the 4 regions had been at war, each under the banner, protection and generally devout worship to one of four Divinities: Lady Umina, Lord Akumasku, Lord Sako and Lady Namikari. It was a story about a world called Konsatsu which was divided between 4 regions: Kamino, Kyroko, Rynomo and Tymoko, with a big mountain called The Crown in the middle which stretched all the way up into the plain of the Gods. The original format for 'Kamino' was a story called 'Kamino High' that I was writing around the age of 16-18 and never actually finished.

I won't delve too much into personal stuff - that's not what you're here for after all - but I started writing as a hobby when I was about 12 as a coping mechanism for being bullied at school. But what exactly is 'Kamino' and how did this all begin? So, this is my first post about my Dungeons and Dragons Campaign called 'Kamino'.
