Warzone Mishima Corporation History: Of all the corporations
Mishima holds most closely to the ancient traditions of its origins.They
suffered badly during the Fall because so much of their wealth
had been accumulated through the design of microprocessors and
the generation of powerful AI's. But as history has repeatedly
shown, Mishima has a remarkable capacity for resilience. Their
adherence to duty has seen them accomplish many things that other
corporations considered impossible, not least of which was the
successful settling of the infernal world of Mercury.
Of all the corporations they have the most unique
mindset. Both rigid and elegant, unforgiving, yet highly prized
by even the most lowly of their citizens. It is this introspective
way of though that has led them into much controversy over the
centuries. Not least of which the rift that sprang up between
Mishima and the Brotherhood during the Neroian Heresy. This division
is not entirely healed, even to this day.
Following the divergence of Mishima from the
teachings of the Cardinal they established the Schools of Enlightenment,
which many see as an act of heresy. The Brotherhood however, saw
no evidence of the Dark Symmetry in the schools and so tolerated
their existence. This was seen by many in the Curia as a wise
move as it allowed Mishima to concede the Brotherhood's spiritual
authority without losing face. Others see it as a display of Brotherhood
weakness and a sign that Mishima are moving ever closer to the
shadow.
Mishima Military: The battlefield
is the one place where all citizens of Mishima have the opportunity
for equality, not in rank, position or opportunity but in courage,
service and the freedom to die well. There is no law saying that
peasants of low status cannot fight with the honor of a great
warrior. Having said that the divisions in society exist just
as clearly in the military. Nobles will automatically become Samurai,
while peasants will automatically be formed in the Ashigaru.
The Samurai follow the strict code of Bushido
(the way of the warrior). Bushido requires a certain respect for
one's enemy and places honor in combat above all other considerations.
This results in a general respect for the Mishima Samurai among
the other corporations but it also serves as a weakness in practical
terms. The Samurai prefer to face their opponents in close combat,
which is considered a more honorable way of doing battle. Unfortunately,
the armed forces of the other corporations do not follow the same
code which often results in many Samurai being cut down by missile
weapons long before their deadly Ceremonial Blades can be brought
to bare.
The Ashigaru are not so consumed by the code
of Bushido, their main aim is to serve their fief lord as best
they can, thus they are more inclined to make use of any weapons
they have in their possession. There are also a growing number
of Ronin, Samurai who no longer adhere to the teachings of Bushido.
They favor more modern ways of doing battle relying less heavily
on close combat skills and as a result their survival rate is
generally higher than that of their 'more honorable' comrades.
The elite members of the Mishima army are the
Hatamoto. They act as personal guard to the Overlord and the Lord
Heirs. They are better armored and more highly trained than the
Samurai and server their lords with fanatical zeal.
Emerging from the Mishima Schools of Enlightenment
are two notable special forces units, the Shadow Walkers and the
Deathbringers. The Shadow Walkers are trained in the stealth attacks
and infiltration. Deathbringers possess supernatural powers, similar
to the Art, practiced by the Brotherhood. However, much of what
is known of these mysterious warriors is speculation by those
who fear them and should not be taken as evidence of the Dark
Soul's influence.
