Emperor Miyato Gasema
Description
Miyato is a fairly elderly man with a long mustache and strong features. His frame is short but commands respect. His eyes are keen and his voice cuts through noise, static and other voices. Mitayo Gasema always has a strong or kind word, a poised gesture or knowing look, a devious smile or straightforward tone. To whatever situation he is called he brings what is needed. Miyato bears the imperial seal and is one of the few emperors of his line who are not militarily aligned. He is a master diplomat and a strong thinker, but knows that he is not a general and leaves military matters to those who know those tactics. To this end he is never far from his lead general Benkei Amaso.
A Physical Characteristic: Long mustache which he maintains with pride
First Impression: Quiet and strong. He seems like he listens to all those talking, but always makes the choices himself.
A Common Behavior: He schools himself harshly in the body language he gives off. He rarely makes a move that is random or not carefully controlled.
Vocal Characteristics: His voice always seems well rounded and strong. He does not speak loudly or softly, nor quickly or slowly. His voice seems to flow from word to word.
History/Story
The Miyato family line has stretched down from the human lineage of the first Miyato Garasara to the current day emperor Miyato Gasema. Many minor wars occurred during this time and the Miyato line grew in power by following the commandment of their guardian spirit, the Monkey King Sun Wukong. "Be strong and willing to help, never let a thing defeat you. In this way shall you unite all things under heaven." The Miyato line has taken this to heart and Gasema Miyato is the Second true Emperor of clave in the Miyato dynasty. Through series of wars, land deals, and political manuevering they have acquired almost all of clave except for the southern deadlands. It is known that there are settlements within the deserts of Tan-Ji-Jun but they are not considered to be valuable enough to control. Emperor Gasema was enjoying the prosperity which being an emperor brought him until a rogue group from the southern lands took the capitol with help from a demon army. Gasema was deposed and exiled along with his son and retainers. They sent him away and have siezed control of the capitol and much of the clavian lands, although there are still many areas which refuse to cede to their control. Gasema is currently trying to gather aid and forces from Ithis and Pero to help him in his bid to relcaim the imperial chair.
It is said that the rebellion was sparked in part by Gasema's declaration that when he passed on his adopted son, a monkeyblooded animalia, would be named emperor despite not being in the bloodline. This sparked some traditionalists to riot, and those who disliked the current goverment took advantage and decided to spark rebellions all over the country.

History/Story
Gamayosa was found by an elderly tigerblooded couple when he was just a baby. They brought him before the Emperor instead of eating him for dinner. When the emperor saw him, he realized he was special and immediately adopted him. The tigerblooded couple were made royal retainers and lived in the palace to help raise Gamayosa. Gamayosa has been trained in many arts and skills from the age of 3 and he has proved to be exceptionally strong in all of them. Gamayosa fought in the front lines to protect the palace when the demon army invaded. He was wounded and barely survived. Once healed Gamayosa was put attached to the Special duty vanguard provided by Belcraft, but gave full leadership over to the commander set by belcraft. This results in a relationship of Gamayosa giving directions or goals and allowing the troops to carry them out in the ways they see best. Left up to his own devices Gamayosa would probably choose to storm the problem by the front entrance. Due to his quick temper and love of fighting he needs to be tempered and cooled down, but his main concern is always for the innocents who get embroiled in the crossfire of any conflict.
