Still very WIP, but I have more in my head than what I've actually written out. I'm thinking that a matchmaker in the Deer clan knows he has some "controversial" thoughts on bushido and is blackmailing Kiyomori to be his catspaw. Also pretty sure he killed someone out of necessity as part of his most famous deed, which won him accolades and highlighted his eligibility, but he deeply regrets having to take life now. Pumpkin, do you have any thoughts on who an appropriate lord might be?<br/><ul class="bbc_list"></ul>(https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*HBmWeo8fZ6PPp1S9wjXHDQ.jpeg)<br/><strong>Name :</strong>Daidoji Kiyomori (childhood name; Tarō)<br/><strong>Clan:</strong>Crane Clan (The Daidoji Family)<br/><strong>Status :</strong>35<strong>Honor:</strong>50<strong>Glory:</strong>40<br/><strong>Wealth:</strong>7 koku<br/><hr/>Earth: 2  --steady, thorough, mentally resilient, reliable and grounded<br/>Water: 2 --adaptable, powerful, affable, physically flexible, observant, easygoing and perceptive<br/>Fire: 1  --ferocious, direct, passionate, curious, physically quick and inventive<br/>Air: 3 --graceful, cunning, deft, shrewd and precise<br/>Void: 2  --spiritually sensitive, wise, introspective and unflinching personality<br/><br/>Endurance: 6 (Calculated based on your final ring values; (Earth + Fire) x 2.) = HP against harm (fatigue is measured vs it)<br/>Composure: 8 (Calculated based on your final ring values; (Earth + Water) x 2.) = HP against grief (grief measured vs it)<br/>Focus: 4 (Calculated based on your final ring values; Fire + Air.) = initiative<br/>Vigilance: 3 (Calculated based on your final ring values; (Air + Water) / 2.) = Perception/awareness<br/>Void Points: 1 of 2 (1/2 void ring, max equal void ring) = Luck/Fate/Focus to increase dice rolls by 1, avoid death or activate techniques<br/><hr/><strong>School:</strong>Doji Diplomat School<br/><strong>Rank:</strong>1<br/><strong>Stood out:</strong>Insight (+1 Void)<br/><span class="bbc_u">School Technique/Mastery</span><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Speaking in Silence</div><div class="spoiler_body">Once per scene when making a check to persuade or influence someone, you may add a number of kept Ring Dice set to opportunity results equal to your school rank.<br/></div></div><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Skills</strong></span><br/><br/>Artisan (Restore, Adapt, Invent, Refine, Attune)<br/>Aesthetics 1<br/>Composition 1<br/>Design 1<br/><br/>Social (Reason, Charm, Incite, Trick, Enlighten)<br/>Courtesy 1<br/><br/><br/>Scholar (Recall, Survey, Theorize, Analyze, Sense)<br/>Culture 2<br/>Government 1<br/>Medicine 1<br/><br/>Martial (Withstand, Shift, Overwhelm, Feint, Sacrifice)<br/>Fitness 1<br/>Martial Arts (Ranged) 1<br/>Tactics 1<br/><br/>Trade (Produce, Exchange, Innovate, Con, Subsist)<br/><br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Weapons</strong></span><br/><br/>Primary Weapon: Wakisashi<br/>Category: Sword<br/>Range: 0-1     Skill: (martial melee)<br/>DMG: 3           DLD: 5 (+2 2h)<br/>Grips: 1h/2h  Quality: Ceremonial, Razor-Edged<br/>Special Abilities:<br/><br/>Armor:<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Techniques, Spells, Kata, Kiho, Shadowlands Powers</strong></span><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Shüji</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lady Doji’s Decree</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Shallow Waters</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/></div></div><br/><br/></div></div><br/><br/><hr/><strong>Advantages/Disadvantages</strong><br/>Benten’s Blessing (Air)<br/>Blackmailed by ____ (Air)<br/>Softheartedness (Fire)<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/><br/>Starting Kit: Ceremonial clothes, wakizashi, yumi, calligraphy set, travelling pack, an attendant.<br/>Extra:<br/><hr/><br/>[/spoiler]<br/><br/><br/><hr/><strong>Honor/Glory Record</strong><br/>(feel free to record here how you've gained and lost honor/glory)<br/><hr/><strong>Experience Log</strong><br/>Current XP :<br/>XP Spent   :<br/><br/>record how you've spent your experience here<br/>[/quote]<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>The 15/20 questions</strong></span><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Giri/Duty</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Ninjō/Desire</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Relationship with the clan</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>[/i]<br/><br/><strong>Benefit:</strong> <br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Opinions on Bushido</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em><br/>“I strive to uphold Bushido through my thoughts and actions. While I know when to keep my mouth shut, I am a free thinker and question if the way we interpret Bushido is correct. My grandfather, who’s name I bear, was ordered to take his own life. It was he who instilled in me the belief that Courtesy and Compassion strengthen society, healing both samuari and peasent. <br/><br/> He followed his commands, not because they were just, but to protect our family, to give us the chance to make a better world. I disdain those who order their subordinates to commit ritual suicide or perpetuate the belief that it brings honor to the victim’s family. Yes, it removes shame, but where is the honor in denying a lord valued ally and a family a loved one? Such death is senseless murder. <br/><br/>I honor my grandfather through my actions, but also by learning the medical arts, and using them to help whoever is in need. If I must do so in secret, so be it.<br/></em><br/><br/><strong>Benefit:</strong> +1 Medicine<br/><br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Greatest accomplishment so far?</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>[/i]<br/><br/>Advantage: <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> </div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Types:</strong> <br/><strong>Effects:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li></li><li></li></ul></div></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">What holds me back?</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em><br/><br/></em><br/><br/><strong>Adversity:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> </div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li></li><li></li></ul></div></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">My passion and source of peace</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em><br/><br/></em><br/><br/><strong>Passion:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Provocation</div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li></li><li></li></ul></div></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">What is my foible?</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em><br/></em><br/><br/><strong>Foible:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> </div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li></li></ul><ul class="bbc_list">[/li]<br/></ul></div></div></div></div>[/spoiler][/spoiler]<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Whom you have learned from the most?</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em><br/><br/></em><br/><br/><strong>Benefit:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> </div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li> <br/></li><li></li></ul></div></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">What people see when they meet the first time?
