This is considered to be a group mission and therefore it is held to the standards of a group mission in terms of expectations and restrictions. E Rank Genin Toshiwakai Kagari and S Rank ANBU (as all our full fledged ANBU are capped players). This will be considered a C Rank Group Mission for Kagari and a A Rank Mission for the ANBU who enters this thread assuming that the WC and minimum post requirements are met. Because this is considered a Mission Thread, outside players cannot intervene with this thread however if the participants in this thread wish to call in an outside party to assist that is acceptable but they will only get rewards that are rank specific and if they meet the site requirements.
[legend="[b]The BINGO BOOK Entry[/b]"]
Name: Haku Saburou
Village Affiliation: Sand
Current Status: Unknown
Threat Level: E
Known Aliases: Aisu
Description:
While gender may be ambiguous to the pedestrian onlooker, Saburou is a man of twenty years. He comes from a family of Haku, but he himself has never demonstrated the ability to manipulate chakra effectively. He has many of the physical trademarks of a Haku such as a slender frame, narrow eyes and a pleasant yet androgynous face. His long hair is often worn down and he is often seen wearing traditional garb such as kimonos despite the fact that they have been out of fashion or utility for years.
Type of Fighter:
Despite having the Haku name, he does not have any known chakra molding abilities. He depends on others to do his fighting for him. While he has a skilled offensive, his defenses lack and therefore he has been considered a low threat target but care in maintaining the element of surprise is paramount.
Last Seen:
Today. He is seen daily in the Red Light District. He owns a brothel there.
Charges:
Running a Prostitution Ring.
Description of Charges:
Haku Saburou owns a brothel in the Red Light District. While this is a well-known establishment it is also illegal. In the wake of the Cabal attack other matters have been a priority but the morality of the citizens is still a priority. Haku Saburou is 'protected' by clan leaders despite his lacking shinobi skill and therefore cannot be stopped directly through official or legal means. Due to this, similar intended individuals have opened up similar establishments using his name and association to limit what Sunagakure is willing to do... publicly. Please destroy the brothel.

Important: Self-modded missions may be done twice in a week, however the second mission done yields half normal rewards. Players may also perform one mission with 2x the word count in order to gain the rewards of having done two missions. This still only yields half rewards for the second mission.

ANBU-only Information:
Haku Saburou, also known as Aisu is a known flesh peddler in the Red Light District. His potential ties to the criminal underworld have made him a person of interest in investigations but due to his clan's status in the village pressing criminal charges against Saburou has been nearly impossible. The Haku Clan hold a place of high distinction, especially the main house from which Saburou has been born and to jail him would be seen as a dire offense to the clan from which we greatly depend on during the dry season. That said, Sunagakure suffers from a moral dilemma. Saburou has taken to owning and managing several whorehouses in Sunagakure. Up front legal attacks have only caused friction between Sunagakure and the Haku main branch, they deny Saburou's affiliation as anything more than a customer in these perverse dealings. That said, we have started to simply attack the businesses. Refer to the BINGO Book Entry for further details.
Rather than merely cause these establishments to shut down, an overzealous youth also captured Haku Saburou and somehow procured Saburou's black book. While we have not been able to decipher all of the names in the book as they have been written in code, one name was almost immediately identified: Hisamura Mako. A Merchant Lord who unlike the others listed who were marked as customers who visited, she was marked as a recipient. Refer to the entry on public information known about Mako.
[legend="[b]Hisamura Mako the Leafed Emerald[/b]"]</FONTFACE>
Hisamura Mako the Leafed Emerald<FONTFACE fontface="monospace">
Bloodline/Core Ability: Reckless
Age: 30
Physical Description: Blonde and beautiful, Mako could have easily been a model if she would only smile. She often has a serious or even a stern look on her porcelain-like face. Despite being involved in many battles directly over the years, miraculously she never seems to permanently scar. She often dons military-like regalia designating her as a keen supporter of the Daimyō. Despite her position as a jewelcrafting Merchant Lord, she does not tend to wear jewelry less an engagement ring made of pure Hisamura, flanked with two pieces of a rare advanced-element Carmot given to her my the Daimyō as an engagement gift that she wears proudly.
Mental Description: Serious and cold, Mako is not very feminine as she has taken on many masculine mannerisms. She is blunt, direct and to the point. She can be extremely aggressive and she does not tend to have a high regard for others, be it their happiness, health, time or even lives. She is a critical thinker that often looks to the end game and determines a cost to benefit ratio before she makes any rash decisions. while wild, often unprovoked aggression tends to be her most common strategy, it is not done without thought but to many spectators it would appear as such.
History: Like Sakura and Shigemi of the Silk Dynasty, Hisamura Mako was born into her role as a Merchant Lord but the title does not fit this woman well. Her parents and their parents before them were jewelers, many of their fine wares came from distant countries such as Rice and Tea Country as well as the far reaches of Wind Country. Crafters by trade, they gained their wealth as artists making beautiful works of art from the finest gems in the world for the wealthy. A wondrous lavender stone discovered in Wind Country was even named after this family: the Hisamura. Popular among the ladies as an alternative to diamonds as an engagement ring because of its relative rarity being even harder to come by than actual diamonds or even carmot.
Hisamura was never interested in gems, crafting or mining. Her ambitions some could say are greater. She was educated in the finest schools in Wind Country and she traveled abroad to Rice Country in her distant youth. It was her parents hope that she would take to the family business when she came of age but she never shown any interest. Her brother, on the other had, had but he was weak in body and died at the age of twenty seven. Mako, two years her brother's senior was then granted the title of Merchant Lord but she had already made a name for herself elsewhere. In service, directly to Daimyō Ishii Shirō, she served as the general of the Daimyō's private army. A tactician at heart, Mako loves war games and has a brilliant mind for aggressive combat strategy.
Mako never gave up her station as general, in fact she solidified her relations with the Daimyō even further when she accepted Daimyō Ishii Shirō's proposal to her which would make her Shirō's eighth wife. The leads her family business in name only, mot of the day to day decisions are taken care of by her trusted employees and advisers.[/legend]
Taken from Here with Kagari
How the ANBU was contacted:
A dottering old man yes, but he was nobody's fool. Just because he could hide his own Easter eggs did not mean he was utterly incompetent. He had a set of ears and he used them. Also, he was more than aware of his withering body and mind, he took notes... excellent notes and he recalled two rather strange incidents that were note-worthy. The first being an accusation from Aburabuta Hirotomi's lawyer where he cited a complaint against the Soons Merchant Lords and a request for help that was never heeded and the bounty never filled. The second being the rumors swirling regarding the Daimyō and his potential treachery. He overheard the broadcast made by Sousuke not long ago requesting the apprehension of the heir apparent Ishii Susumu. Troubles were simply starting in Sunagakure, that they were. He might not have a mind to remember that but he had mind enough to know that something was wrong.
After Kagari left his office, cold eyes looked up at the shackled flesh peddler as the old man pressed an earbud that one could hardly see through the abundance of ear hair. He had set it to an ANBU frequency, not the frequency any ANBU hopeful could receive but one that only an actual ANBU would be able to answer. Rather unknown to most, less other ANBU, the Sennins and likely the Kazekage himself. Why would he know this: simple, he was the mission master. Who else would notify the ANBU of new missions and bounties? How he remembered the frequency was anyone's guess. Some would say muscle memory while others would claim divine luck or perhaps the man was feigning his foolishness. All the same, the frequency was sent out to broadcast to the ANBU of Sunagakure.
Hello, this is Mission Office calling. Over.
Hello, this is Mission Office, do you read. Over.
<Insert pick-up from whomever joins this topic>
Hello <Insert ANBU call sign> this is Mission Office, I have a Mission. Do you Copy?
<Awaiting reply>
Haku Clansman was arrested, dossier in the Mission Office. Do you copy <Insert ANBU call sign> ?
I need ANBU assistance for transport to the Obsidian Palace and interrogation. The kid who caught him will be on-site. Over.
It was a strange request, one he would barely remember minutes from now. The old man furiously scrawled what he knew from the conversations he had into a steno notebook. It would hopefully be enough to aid his addled memory if he was never needed to recall this interaction. The files in the room were towering but well-kept and from the file cabinets with haste he pulled the BINGO Book Entry, a short hand-written report and information on the one name he recognized in a flash of brilliance. Assuming the ANBU came and took the silk-garbed deviant away, he would also give the ANBU a folder that contained the aforementioned. The boy was sent for a very specific reason: to remember what the old man could not. To share what he knew and failed to share with the ANBU who interrogated the flesh peddler. Would he remember to tell the ANBU this, no of course not. The brain is a fickle thing and it was not something of great enough import to leave as a note. Still, the ANBU would expect the young man to be waiting for him at the Obsidian. The ANBU would have to determine why for himself.
The Obsidian Interrogation Room:
Not the most pleasant of places to be taken and armed with only the bare minimum of information two... no three would be found in a strange interrogation room. The state of the Haku to be determined by the ANBU who transported him and prepared him for interrogation.
OC: Meet, greet and I will be playing the role of the sleazeball. The goal is to determine what he is REALLY up to because it is NOT a whorehouse (well, he totally has those too but that is not the scariest part). Considerations: How does he get his workers? How does he keep his workers? What is the Merchant Lord receiving? Do you believe these answers? How can you be so sure?

This is Considered to be a Self-Modded Solo Mission
Important: Self-modded missions may be done twice in a week, however the second mission done yields half normal rewards. Players may also perform one mission with 2x the word count in order to gain the rewards of having done two missions. This still only yields half rewards for the second mission.
What Rank of Self-Modded Solo Missions can I perform?
- A user may only perform a mission of their current OOC Rank or lower. This mission is considered to be E Rank, so if you are E Rank or above, you may do this mission.
What are the rewards for Solo Missions?
- This is an E Rank Mission, for completing an E Rank Mission you will earn 1,500 Yen.
What is the required word count for this mission?
- This is an E-Rank mission, the word-count requirement is 250 Words.
Someone else has already caught this BINGO Book entry, what now?
- This entry is considered to be a repetitive entry, meaning that there is more than one brothel/club to destroy and he will rebuild if it has been damaged. All we do when we break his stuff is prevent him from spreading like a terrible weed. He has connections so he is not someone you should try to kill. If someone does kill him, it would be considered a Mission Failure because you caused more trouble than this mission was worth with the clan leaders. If you learn that this character has been killed, please let us know so we can remove him from the BINGO book and replace him with someone else.
I have completed my mission, what now?
- Drop you mission off in character (IC) HERE.
I am not from Sunagakure but I am visiting and I would like to perform a solo mission listed, is that OK?
- YES! While you are always welcome to join our community (and we do encourage it), leaving people out of the fun goes against the out of character spirit of this community. You can serve as a mercenary or a helpful foreigner and complete these missions as well, just keep it in character and drop your mission off at the office as listed above but re-linked HERE. Just be sure that you have gotten permission from your primary community.
