You may either ignore the portion of an opponent’s Armor TN derived from Armor, or gain a Free<br/>Raise when attacking. (You do not ignore Reduction from the Armor while choosing the fi rst option.) Also, you gain a bonus of +1k0 to the total of all attack rolls on your fi rst melee attack against an opponent in a skirmish, or against any opponent who has declared a Raise on an attack against you since your last turn. You add only a total of 1k0 for an enemy who Raised against you, no matter how many times they actually Raised.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Advantages</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong><em>Prodigy [Physical] (12 points)</em></strong><br/>You are a marvel of the dojo, and your sensei believe that you will accomplish incredible things in your lifetime. Whenever you make a School Skill Roll, you gain a bonus of +1k0 to the roll. <span class="bbc_u"><em></em></span><br/><br/><strong><em>Tactician [Mental] (3 points)</em></strong><br/>You have a mind well suited to the ebb and flow of battle. When making a roll on the Mass Battle Table, you may increase or decrease your result by 5. Lion and bushi characters may purchase this Advantage for 3 points.<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Disadvantages</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em><strong>Fascination [Mental] (1 points)</strong></em><br/>(Poetry) You are completely fascinated by some subject, and will go to great lengths to learn more about it or to experience it in new ways. Typical subjects of a samurai’s fascination include music, horses, poetry, and history. This fascination badly impedes your judgment, and you will take even dishonorable actions to learn more, which could end in absolute disgrace if your actions are discovered.<br/><br/><em><strong>Sworn Enemy [Social] (5 points)</strong></em><br/>You have earned an enemy, one who will stop at nothing to see you defeated or even killed. The basic version of this Advantage assumes that your enemy is of equal Insight Rank. For each Insight Rank above yours your enemy possesses, increase the value of this Disadvantage by 1. For 2 additional points, the enemy becomes your kharmic nemesis, and you may not spend Void Points when opposing him or her in any situation.<br/><br/><strong><em>Overconfident [Mental] (4 points)</em></strong><br/>You possess a grossly inflated view of your own prowess, and are often incapable of recognizing when a situation is beyond your ability to handle. When outnumbered or facing a clearly superior enemy (whether in court or in battle), you must succeed at a Perception Trait Roll (TN 20) in order to recognize the situation for what it is and leave instead of engaging. This Disadvantage is worth 4 points to Lion and Mantis characters.<br/><br/><em><strong>Haunted [Spiritual] (0 points)</strong></em><br/>One of your ancestors has chosen to bestow personal attention on you, constantly offering you advice and making demands. Perhaps the ancestor merely wishes you to live up to the ideals of your Clan and family, or perhaps he has some unfinished task or duty which he wishes you to complete. You must show all due deference and respect to your ancestor, and do your best to live up to his (or her) expectations. If you fail to do so, your ancestor’s disapproval will bring bad fortune upon you: so long as your ancestor remains angry, once per session one of your die rolls (chosen by the GM) will suffer a –1k1 penalty.</div></div><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Let's play 20 questions!</div><div class="spoiler_body">1. What Clan does your character belong to?<br/><br/>Lion Clan<br/><br/>2. What family does your character belong to?<br/><br/>Akodo, ninth child born to Akodo Misashi and his wife Akodo Rina formerly of the Doji family.<br/><br/>3. Is your character a bushi, a shugenja, or a courtier?<br/><br/>Narumi has trained since the age of four at the Akodo Bushi Academy.<br/><br/>4. How would you describe your character's appearance?<br/><br/>Narumi is a slender woman, almost frail in appearance as if the very wind might strike her down.  Most would say she takes after her mother with illustrious hair black as night.  Yet her face holds the stern harshness of her father with features reminiscent of the coldest winter mornings.  Often she wears kimonos that are light and also seem flimsy, hiding that strength she had developed through years of training.  She walks quietly and delicately, much like the ladies of the Crane clan seeming to expect the world to move aside for her passing.<br/><br/>5. What is your character's primary motivation?<br/><br/>To become one of the greatest Kensai to have ever lived.<br/><br/>6. Who is the person your character trusts most in the world?<br/><br/>Her sensei who was formerly a Matsu general but has now taken the robes of a monk.  Matsu Yua retains her position at the Akodo Bushi Academy to train a hand picked few that she tended to before taking her retirement.  At one time Matsu Yua's name was a respected name that made many general quit the field to know she would be coming with her forces, but political scandal and rumor mongering (her words) forced her into a more quiet life.  She contends this life suits her better, but Narumi is not the only one to notice the former general keeps tabs on her former troops.<br/><br/>7. What is your character's greatest strength and weakness?<br/><br/>The dedication to cause and self has proven to be Narumi's greatest strength.  She has persevered where others failed, earned the respect of her instructors and betters, placed herself in great standing all through a central drive to be better than those around her.  That single focus and drive has pushed her from a forgotten ninth child to a star pupil of the Akodo academy.<br/><br/>Narumi is critical of others.  She maintains a strict code of ethics and morality that she does not share.  Often a person is not privy to what slight or action has caused this woman to show favor or disfavor toward them.  Sometimes the pair do not even exchange a word when judgement is passed.<br/><br/><br/>8. What does your character think of Bushido?<br/><br/><br/>9. What is your character's opinion of his Clan?<br/><br/><br/>10. Is your character married?<br/><br/><br/>11. Does your character have any prejudices?<br/><br/><br/>12. To whom does your character owe the most loyalty?<br/><br/><br/>13. What are your character's favorite and least favorite things?<br/><br/><br/>14. Does your character have any recurring mannerisms?<br/><br/><br/>15. What about your character's emotions?<br/><br/><br/>16. How would your character handle a subordinate's improper behavior?<br/><br/><br/>17. How would your character's parents describe him?<br/><br/><br/>18. What is your character's highest ambition?<br/> <br/><br/>19. How religious is your character?<br/><br/><br/>20. How will your character die?<br/><br/>Kneeling over an unfinished poem written by her own hand, at the cusp of perfection.<br/><br/></div></div>
