The Ninja Shikomizue
is the japanese word for prepared cane or staff sword and is a type of Scabbard that acts as a cane or walking stick but inside is hidden sword/s.

Two swords could sometimes be contained in one stick and usually only one side of the blade was sharpened, like traditional Japanese swords.
Ashley's Fukiya
was the Ninja's blowgun and is the term associated with the sport. It usually measures around 1.2 meters long and shoots darts of around 20 centimeters although the Ninja Fukiya was usually shorter, measuring around 50 centimeters long and thus smaller darts. This shortening of the length would mean range was affected, so likely the Ninja would have to make use of poisons ,applied to the tip of the darts, in order to incapacitate their victum. The Ninja would make a seal with their lips over one end of the hollow shaft, usually made from bambo or other wooden material.

The Braveharts
The Order emerged in the United States in the early 1850’s; but has roots dating back to the 17 century in Great Britain. The Earliest members of the Brave harts were abolitionist; they worked to free as many slaves from the south as possible, the most notorious being John Brown and Nat Turner.
At the turn of the century it was found that the Red Cardinals, whom once fought on the side of the just, had sold their services to the elusive Weston Family. In an attempt to keep pace the Brave-Harts indirectly combated the efforts of the Cardinals by placing key officials in the justice system to stop Cardinal progress.
Wesley Weston II placed Ziccarra Liafador in charge of the Cardinals; Z implanted many sleeper agents inside the Brave-Harts which she then notified some of the, grunt Cardinals working in mafia’s Al Capone; a well-known Cardinal dealt the biggest blow to the Brave-Harts with the St. Valentine’s day massacre.
MLK, JFK, were honorary Brave-Hearts, The Cardinals then assassinated them; Wesley Weston III took over and established supreme Cardinal dominance over North America and Europe.

Ashley Moorland was added, because of her ability to move without sound and for her extremely flexible capabilities.
The women of the Braveharts were added mainly for the purpose of their beauty, in most operations the most beautiful woman in the room is some sort of spy; this leaves it completely open for the male counterparts to do their job.
