Feudal rp (The Seven Swords of Power)

(Okay, here's a real story for us rpers)

Travel back to the years when guns were just coming out and were unruly and not often used, then travel over to japan, where the war between the Shogunate and the Ishin Shishi (nationalists), swords clash and the small island continent is thrown on it's head. Let's have an rp of what it would have been like to live in those times, also, know that some cities stayed out of the fighting and sent their troops to fight in the more major battles, and that there were two sides. Choose your side, and fight to the death. Or have everyone be on one side and take down the troops of the opposing forces.
Or we could have a bad guy.
Whaddya think?

Hell yes please

T_T dont know much about japanese history
