Overview

The Dark Akatsuki was a member state of the LittleBigPlanet Union. Is best known for its size, influence, and for being the descendant clan of the late Akatsuki.

History

Formation

The exact date of the Dark Akatsuki's formation is not known, but it is known to have been founded by Bzrew45 to continue the legacy of Chriswolf119. Bzrew45 declared himself "Ryuga" and asserted that he was the son of Chriswolf. This brought many influenced by Chriswolf to follow under Bzrew's leadership.

Feud with Dogs Clan

Ryuga's aggressive policies eventually led him into a spat with Dogs Clan in November 2015. Dogs Clan had become a member state of the LBP Union on November 7th, as the Union was unaware of the account sharing and Heart for Heart activities practiced by the clan. Once the conflict was known about, President M88youngling took action automatically to protect Dogs Clan and to try and defuse the situation with the Dark Akatsuki through peace talks with Bzrew on November 8th. This was handled by the president and Union Foreign Minister CCSocalGamer. Ryuga agreed to diplomatic discussion, and President M88youngling released a statement saying "The Union administration does not tolerate childish bickering between clans. This is one of the primary reasons that clanning is looked down upon by the rest of the community. We would like to see the Dogs and the Dark Akatsuki mend the fences and become more productive members of the community."

Later that evening, the Dogs Clan representative Dougy76 made an apparent leave from his position. This was not an official resignation, leaving the Union administration confused. M88youngling met with Bzrew45 that evening to continue the talks and also discussed the possibility of the Dark Akatsuki becoming a member state of the Union. Ryuga refused this offer, citing the group's distrust and independence. M88youngling concluded that it was Dogs Clan who was in the wrong, and demanded the group to apologize for their hostilities and asked for TDA to cease their hostilities as well. Official peace talks between the two groups were scheduled for Sunday, November 15th. However, this broke down days before when TDA allegedly voted for war against Dogs Clan on November 10th. The Union Protectors managed to convince Ryuga to stand down. Dogs Clan resisted the apology, which continued to increase tensions.

After this around November 21st, the Dark Akatsuki attacked the Enclave, a clan declaring itself a member state of the Remnants Union. The Enclave did not respond to the aggression. The Union administration saw this as a sign that Bzrew45's Dark Akatsuki did not belong in the Union, as they violated the Union's policies on aggressiveness toward others.

Union Membership

Through December, the Dark Akatsuki reformed itself into the Senkei Dark Akatsuki and continued its conflict with the now independent Dogs Clan and the League of Excellence. Many SDA members, upset with the direction Bzrew45 was taking the clan, broke away under the leadership of Harrysboo247 and reformed the Dark Akatsuki. The Union saw that TLOE was the most dangerous of the three warring groups, as they were seemingly being backed by Visarian Mandate leaders. The Dark Akatsuki, under Boo's leadership, became a member state of the Union on December 21st, 2015 with ten members. Their representative was xXJprimXx233.

With SDA beginning to fade into inactivity from the perspective of the Union, there was little threat to the Dark Akatsuki from their former leader. M88youngling pushed for TDA to attempt to share their affinity for swordfighting with the Union through a new Union Swordfighting Tournament. Harrysboo247 agreed but work on the project was incredibly slow and never was finished. The tournament was instead held by the New Lunar Republic.

The Dark Akatsuki soon found closer ties with the Union state of Taurian Concordat. Taurian Concordat assisted TDA in building their Online Create Battle program. This didn't get very far.

Harrysboo247 was adamant about being as active as possible and appointed many representatives to attend Union summits and representative conferences.

End of the Union

After the July 16th Union Summit, where the Protectors each resigned from their positions to push for elections, Harrysboo247 was involved in what former President M88youngling described as a 'lynch meeting' against Taurian Concordat. The meeting involved Primevaliam, I_Keel_You_2001, Boo, as well as Moosemom13 arguing with Concordat leaders over the Concordat's alleged reckless espionage on the Senkei Dark Akatsuki and the League of Excellence. They harassed the Concordat and attempted to vote them out of the Union without a majority vote. Taurian Concordat was not obligated to leave, but seceded from the Union because they felt threatened. This infuriated M88youngling, and he demanded that the meeting's likely organizer Primevaliam apologize for his actions. Prime apologized sometime later.

The Dark Akatsuki ratified the Commissioner Accord on July 25th, 2016, assisting in amending the Novus Carta to eliminate the Union Parliament and establish presidential elections.

Primevaliam then began to talk to Jukewannabe and the other Visarian Mandate leaders as friends. M88youngling found out about this and how the Dark Akatsuki and Pride of the Fallen were becoming friends with the Visarians. M88youngling immediately locked down the Union headquarters on both LBP2 and 3, locked away the Novus Carta and the website, and kicked those involved from the Union's Discord server in an attempt to prevent the Union from falling into the hands of the Mandate. This effectively ended the Union.

Government

The government of the Dark Akatsuki is not known, but it is known that it had a leader in charge of most of the clan's affairs.

Foreign Relations and Military

Bzrew45's foreign policy was notably aggressive and territorial. Slight offenses from groups like Dogs Clan, the Enclave, and the League of Excellence resulted in Dark Akatsukian states of war. Under Bzrew45's leadership, how they fought their wars is not well known. It is conjectured that they used forms of swordfighting to settle disputes.^{[citation needed]}

Under Harrysboo247's leadership while TDA was in the Union, TDA was much more peaceful to abide by Union policies. They had many different Union representatives to give them a say in the Union Parliament.

Culture and Style

The Dark Akatsuki's style and culture parallels the original Akatsuki. Akatsuki was a ninja inspired clan with many Japanese elements and inspiration taken from Naruto and other anime and manga.^{[citation needed]}

Infrastructure

It is not known how Bzrew45-controlled TDA communicated with its members if at all. However, Harrysboo247's TDA communicated by various means, such as the Union's IRC and Discord summits and Kik messenger.^{[citation needed]}
