Hmm I'd say abit too mary sue yes.

Afterall. It takes alot to drive some one to commit suicide these days. Even with the sort of 'death before dishonour' thing being somewhat revived by Renraku. I'm not so sure that many would -really- ever accept the route of suicide. Afterall you have the classic cases also, of redemption from dishonour. And as ever, the Ronin.

Afterall if their the type to rape a worman. Their not likely the type to chose honour over life. One or two of them.. perhaps in a moment of weakness. But certainly I wouldnt belive it of all of them. Now if it had been some crafty way of killing them with their own blades and covering it up. Well.. maybe then. Afterall, if properly arranged and presented. The act might never be properly investigated. Or simply go down the wrong angle.

THat many the same way in different locations would quickly give rise to the question of murder. Even if it was 'legitimate'. Some how finding a way to kill them al with their own blades and making it look like ritualistic sucide, and having them all in the same place at the same time however...

Now that would likely draw folk to wonder what sort of magical bent there might be to it instead. They might not even think to fingerprint the hilts. How you'd go about arranging something like that is abit more tricky. Arguably it could be done by injecting them with laes. Which will knock the target out and is as I understand it, nigh untraceable to later blood tests. It's also horribly rare, but by the LS book corps -do- have access to such things at the higher levels. But it's not the sort of thing that wouldnt easily be noticed missing.

Of course a missing bottle of laes or two a few months previous probably wouldnt be connected unless traces of it were found. Other than that.. poison would work just fine too. It's all in how you present it.

Have them found in a circle. Use the same poison to kill them all. It would ideally have to be done pretty much around the same time. Easiest way to arrange that would be to invite them all to tea. Once their all safely dead of the poison, promptly arrange it to look like ritual suicide. Leave the tea and teacups there. Hopefully the conclusion will be drawn that theyd rank the poison first, and THEN commited ritual suicide on their blades The poison perhaps explained away as an 'insurance' that they wouldnt chicken out.

Such an arrangement would almost immediately, I would thin in the 6th world. -Scream- at the 'obvious' use of 'magical influence' or 'cultist activity'. Or some such. Certainly long enough to throw an investigagion way off long enough for your guy to dissapear into the shadows at least.

Well, maybe their psychometry-taught mages aren't there, since it's a warzone and civilian crime isn't really high on their priorities list.

I think I'll ditch the "Commit Seppuku" part and just have him kill them.
