Cutlass

"Your blade is your life. Your edge is your glory. Your blood is your right"
-Sargus Krill, Blademaster of the seventh legion

PLOT
Welcome to the world of Augustus. You like everyone else were born into a family, your name is all that you are. Since the day you were born you became nothing more than a weapon, you were bred to kill. Like everyone around you, everyone in this class you are a Razor, a sword for your families to bear against their rivals. You will be trained, you will be tested, you will kill and you will learn. This is your life, This is the life of a Razor.

Setting:
Augustus is a world set in the far flung future, its not really a world but more of a galaxy spanning empire. The only valuable weapon here is your sword, firearms are frowned upon and practically useless against a trained Razor.

TERMS
Families:
Each family has castes and all of them are unbelievably rich (at least the ones you all will be playing in.) The castes are as follows:
Head: The leader of the family
Primes: Sons and daughters raised for the world of politics
Razors: The swords of the family
There are also service tiers but those are not family.
These families serve as the secondary government system under the monarch. Relations are always tense.

Razors:
We are Razors in training, The top of our class, currently going into the Serpent's Head academy. At serpents head we will become full blown razors ready to cut down anyone who opposes the family heads we serve.

Razors also have a title based on their skill, achievements, or personality. This usually demonstrates their infamy.

STORY SO FAR

A world where you are only as good as your swordsmanship.
