Character Backstory & Origins
History/Background:
Rook began life in 1245NA within Old-Mecca during the introduction of the Shogi Initiative. The Shogi Initiative was originally drafted to introduce territorial protectors for each region within the Japah Territory. The Shogunate, Shogunate Doki, agreed with the conceptual idea and moved forward with funding the project to see the life of the Meccian Protectors to be brought to light. Thus the original Shogi were created, King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook and Pawn(s) were completed and created. Each individual Shogi was given a breathe of life with the Soul Stone technology, honored spirits from previous Samurai were placed within Soul Stones to be embedded within the bodies of the Shogi, meant to continue their service with protecting the Shogunate Regime.

The original concept was the protection of the Shogunate, though Shogunate Doki seen an opportunity for individual power growth, utilizing the usage of the Shogi for personal gain, and instructed at the time of creation and 'birth' that they were to kill the surviving Shogunate(s) so that Shogunate Doki could rule over the Territories without resistance, though the plans were discovered the the created Shogi were then re-purposed to carry out the original task. The Shogi were then sent to their governing territories, to start their mission of stopping crime, preventing murders and upholding justice under every circumstance.

Rook was assigned to the North-East portion of Japah, where Fukitara resided. It was during his travels here that he discovered the Gunji Forest, to where many have encountered Oni, Demons and Hallucinations alike. Rook encountered humans traveling within the forest, whom to his understanding were travelers. Rook was requested that he guide them to New-Mecca where they were planning to proceed with a pilgrimage of their religious beliefs, Rook understanding that he was provided a duty, agreed and began the escort of the civilians through the Gunji forest. Due to unfortunate circumstances and attacks the human travelers were killed, but requested that Rook continue the pilgrimage to New-Mecca and bring a staff to the governing leader of New-Mecca. Rook took upon the duty and traveled to New-Mecca to where he became an escort for additional pilgrimage travlers, though was treated as an owned object and was illegally sold to a local gambler during travels. Rook now resides with his current 'Master', known Gambler Yu-Yu, to where he carries out moderate tasks as housework, protecting the gambler and offering enforcement of those that wont pay their gambling debts for Yu-Yu.
