Clan Okabe, rooted in northwest Houreki, emerged as a collective of Makers seeking refuge from their tarnished reputations after the 202 burial of the first Karakuri. Joining the Separatists during the Emperor’s expansion, they honed their blood rituals to craft Karakuri, mechanical beings that fueled their growth and legacy. Under the leadership of Dragonhead Okabe Masami, a Karakuri herself, the clan balances tradition with innovation, navigating a world wary of their creations.

Clan Okabe began as a collective of Makers ostracized after the 202 burial of the first Karakuri, settling near a Houreki river. Named after Dragonhead Okabe Nobu, whose family once owned the land, the clan perfected blood rituals to craft Karakuri in their image. Their town grew as Karakuri gathered resources, but the toll of creation led to Nobu’s illness. In a controversial act, he crafted Okabe Masami, a Karakuri, as his heir. Despite opposition, Masami’s leadership and enhancements ensured the clan’s survival as original Makers passed, leaving a legacy of Karakuri and innovation.

Okabe Masami, a Karakuri of resolve and calculation, leads as Dragonhead, her mechanical nature proving merit despite initial controversy. The clan’s structure includes key designations: The Wing, a Maker overseeing flawless Karakuri creation; The Scale, a Karakuri protector of the town; and The Fang, managing numerous offensive Karakuri. These roles ensure the clan’s efficiency and defense, with Masami’s enhancements driving progress.

The heart of Clan Okabe’s economy lies in crafting Karakuri, mechanical beings bound with youkai spirits through blood rituals. From resource-gathering constructs to specialized warriors, each Karakuri bears the clan’s symbol. The Wing oversees their creation, ensuring precision, while Masami’s research pushes the boundaries of their capabilities, making them vital to trade and defense.

Nestled by a Houreki river, Okabe Village is a fortified haven built by the clan’s Makers and Karakuri. Its strategic location and mechanical workforce create a unique blend of organic and artificial life, with Karakuri forming the majority. The village thrives on craftsmanship and resilience, guarded by the Scale and supported by trade networks.

Located in northwest Houreki, Okabe Village sits along a vital river, providing water and trade routes. Surrounded by natural barriers, its defensible position has allowed the clan to thrive despite external threats. The river also powers the clan’s Karakuri workshops, sustaining their craft.

Okabe Village blends organic and Karakuri traditions, with festivals honoring the Makers’ blood rituals and the youkai spirits within Karakuri. The community celebrates the clan’s resilience, with rituals marking the creation of new Karakuri and the legacy of Dragonhead Okabe Nobu.

Clan Okabe maintains complex ties with other clans, trading Karakuri for resources and protection. Allies like the Saimei provide metals, while the Nishimura supply medicine. Rivalries, like with the Caihong, persist due to espionage fears, but deals with clans like Azai and Chokosabe bolster their strength.

Join Clan Okabe as a Maker under the Wing, crafting youkai-bound Karakuri, or serve as a Scale guard, protecting the village. The Fang offers roles leading offensive Karakuri swarms, ideal for those seeking action. Organic or Karakuri, all can find a place, though Fangs favor mechanical recruits for their replaceability.
