Ruby Crystal Family Details
Details in the Life of the Ruby Family
Based out of Crystal Delphi. Head of the family is Luna Hino, a spry old lady who everyone swears is on her death bed- even though she’s the first at meetings and the last to leave. She rules all of Crystal Delphi with an iron fist and an unwavering dedication to both her religion (she is a Shinto Priestess) and her family. She is the guardian of the flame of Apollo, located in the families treasured Shrine of Apollo in Delphi. Her youngest daughter is the Oracle who’s visions give hope to the return of the mythical soldiers (Senshi) who will be reborn again. Local representative J. Hiko, is the current leader of the family’s small branch in Crystal Angeles. He is the grandson of Luna, by way of her second daughter.
Fuego Shrine-
Fuego shrine is the main Shinto temple where one of the "Flame of Mars" burns day and night, fed carefully by the priest, and apprentices there. Many rumors surround this temple: Everything from if you really want to break ties with someone, throw an item that connects you into the mars fire and it will burn- regardless of the substance - to if you tie a wish to the tree outside the main temple your wish, with in six months will be granted by the kami. It is a place for living, and of life. There is a dojo that teaches self defense to women, because Hiko's deceased wife was beat up in Ram's District protecting her little brother and he believes no woman should be defenseless. His door is always open to talk with people about their lives, their troubles.. and while he's young, there's an ageless quality about him that speaks of a man who's lived, even in his short time, a full life.
His grandfather's tea ceremonies however have mostly fallen into the old, but wise hands of Mama Yuki, a wizened old miko who only occasionally makes the long trek up the 108 stairs to the main shrine.
The Crystal Cathedral
This large dome shaped cathedral is the home for those who chose to practice following the one God. Most may follow different tenets but all acknowledge, at the end of the day, regardless of the road lead- it leads to His Door. They tolerate the shinto religion because it doesn't' attempt to disrupt the argument that "God" is the end all, be all of it all. And anyone who has come face to face with a youma has to admit there are "other" things at work then just what the old works have to say.
The Zen Center- The Buddhist Temple
For those who practice the Buddhist traditions.
The Ruby House
The main headquarters of the Ruby Family is, by and large, occupied by some of the cousins and other assorted members of the Ruby Family. The Branch head, and many of the other full time priests, chose to live on the sites of their religious areas. The Ruby house is open however to those who need a place to stay in the family, and often is visited by those Ruby Family members from other cities temporarily visiting.
Generally Speaking about the Ruby Family...
The Ruby Family is one of the most independent and yet, collected of all the Crystal Families. They believe, by and large, that it's their duty to maintain and develop the spiritual lives of everyone in the crystal cities. And, because they are so religiously put forward, there are various "branches" in the family. The main branch, however, and those who head the various cities, are almost always completely Shinto and claim no offical place on either the Buddhist or Christian Arguments. Very few Ruby, besides those who seek complete harmony like those in positions for maintain the "only Shinto" for long.
There are, of course, other branches in the ruby family that believe in other religious tenets. The two main focuses though are Christianity (of one flavor or another) and Buddhism. As such, the family feuds and arguments between the two houses can be, at times, legendary. It's only the family's motto and credence to give everyone a chance to have religion and thus, develop a spiritual life (of one kind or another) that keeps the.. relative... peace...
Common traits in the family
High Weird, Some Tough
Suggested Generic Powers:
Fire Visions: Less in an extent as Jadeite or Mars, their descendants can still mediate before a fire to request guidance. However, it's not always as common, or as a clear, for them as it is for the King and Queen.
Sense Spirits: The ability to sense spirits/undead.
Sense Evil: The ability to sense Evil nearby.
Protection Wards: the ability to ward an area by using your spiritual energy on paper and posting the paper.
