So I've already mentioned there should be rampant moral corruption in the higher classes and in the streets. There will likely be plenty of wars and the Solar Kingdom, though described as being pure, has come to be far from it. They have come to wish to purge the lunar kingdom from existence, but the lunar kingdom also seems to like to terrorize the other nations by sending Ayakashi out to attack them.
Rather than starting out in the thick of all this, maybe we should start with a neutral village, possibly sheltered in an unmentioned nation that would be more uninterested in the quarrels of these other six kingdoms. It would be a shinobi village and it would occasionally carry out missions for the other nations but not really get directly involved in their quarrels. Our starting characters would basically not know much about the inner corruption of the six kingdoms so if they were hired by one of the kingdoms to do something for them, they could get pulled into the drama through a series of things like assassinations and possibly accusations being thrown at them. That's all I have so far so if anyone else has any ideas, feel free to mention them.

The Solar vs Lunar plot sounds good. I've never successfully done a corruption plot since most of my characters are good guys. Wars are always easy plot lines and things tend to sort themselves out. Having neither a 'good' or 'evil' side is interesting too. Each having their own valid reasons for doing things. Perhaps instead of starting in an unnamed country it could be one or two of the six that's neutral. Earth I feel would be, perhaps Storm as well. Fire and Water I could see allying with Solar and Lunar respectively.
I've been thinking of characters that would fit well within this rp. I have one I want to use in the Earth nation but she's a low status farmer type. The emperor I had in mind for the Earth is pretty honorable too. I do have some darker guys who could be great in Solar but I love being in control of Earth. Perhaps when we get a third we could keep it at three people and each of us has two kingdoms? If that's not too much to handle. We wouldn't need to be using all our characters all the time.

Yeah, we could start it in the earth nation so we could mostly keep it at six. I guess any outside nations might be mentioned every now and then, but they won't play a large role in the main story. We did actually get a third person, so we probably are going to each have two kingdoms. I may play as the leader of the Storm kingdom so that leaves Fire, Solar, and Water right now. I don't think we'll be using all of our characters all the time though. It'll probably mainly end up being the ones we have stationed in this ninja village. I guess we should have some mains in the royal classes since that's where a lot of the story's going to be coming from.
Water nation may be more subservient to the lunar nation since their magic would depend on the lunar cycles, but at the same time, some people might actually be plotting against the lunar nation since I imagine Moon doesn't really respect Water that much so they may treat this particular country poorly. Fire is probably only allied with Sun because they feel like Sun has the most control and Fire probably wants that control, not to mention working with Sun gives them a lot of power so like Sun, they're also tyrannical.

Can our werewolf characters have additional powers? Like types of precognition? Also which nations belong to who?

Also so we don't have to decide who plays the leader of the village, maybe there's a council of three people who lead it jointly if you guys are alright with that.

Sounds fine by me And actually, the more I think about it, I'd kinda like to take Fire as well, if both of you are okay with that.
