If it helps, the character idea I had for my character that I ran by Hairy was this:<br/><br/>His name would be Kazuhiro from the Hida family, a Crab bushi. He'd have a bit of Etiquette so he can function in more courtly settings and not embarrass his Clan overmuch. He'd look something like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/yanie/bingsheng4.jpg) (image is sort of up in the air, depending on if I can find something I like better)! For his personality, I'm imagining him as a someone who believes that duty and happiness go hand in hand; he believes that it's failing to do one's duty in life that leads to unhappiness. (He's never yet had a conflict between his personal desires and duty to his Clan!). And he certainly won't be perfect by any means; he's overly fond of drinking and has a bit of a temper on him, but when push comes to shove, there's no one more reliable than him, even if he's perhaps not always the most<em>polite</em>person to rely on. More often than not he likes to solve his problems with his weapon, although the presence of someone good with their words will do much to impress him and persuade him that his approach is not a very good one.<br/><br/>I'm quite open to any connections people want to make with him. ^^
