class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">History</div><div class="spoiler_body">Mirumoto Keiji was a successful Mirumoto Bushi getting up in his years.  His wife had died of disease and their two children gone through their gempuku.  Traveling in the mountains, he stumbled across the secret of the boar’s clan existence and agreed to remain there rather than return to dragon lands and eventualy retire to the brotherhood of Shinjei.  <br/><br/>   One reason for this was a maiden named Hitomi.  The daughter of the samurai family keeping him under house arrest, she stirred the passions of a young man in him.  He gave up on escape attempts to become a full citizen and sue for her hand.  <br/><br/>   They were married within two years of Keiji’s capture, and had three children.  <br/><br/>   Hitomi was gentle hearted and domestic.  She was also a dreamy sort who loved stories about the outside world.  She saw Keiji as a sort of mythical hero from a magical realm.  She shared these idealistic images with her children through bedtime stories.  <br/><br/>   Mirumoto Hitoshi was the first born.  He shared his father’s aptitude for dragon clan arts and his adventurous spirit.  Hitomi’s bedtime stories fanned flames of wonder in his spirit.  He grew up taking many of his parent’s best and worst traits.  Like Keiji, he was a dedicated warrior and talented swordsman easily inspired by feminine beauty.  Like Hitomi he was idealistic, fascinated with the magical aspects of the world.  He read pillow books and loved kabuki theater.  Even as an adult, he talks to animals as if they could understand him, and will not be surprised if they should answer.  (Justified, maybe.)  <br/><br/>   The second born was Mirumoto Kazumi.  A domestically inclined girl, she took well to being groomed for marriage.  <br/><br/>   The third daughter was Mirumoto Hikari.    Hikari is high spirited and hot blooded.  She is jealous of the attention her brother received from their father and believes she was a better suited candidate to inherit the Mirumoto school.  Unfortunately for her, family politics required that a child be sent to become a boar clan warrior and they did not believe that Hitomi would bare any more children.  <br/><br/>Keiji:  63 years old.<br/>Hitomi:  38 years old<br/>Hitoshi:  21 years old.  <br/>Kazumi: 19 years old  <br/>Hikrari: 17 years old.  <br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">20 Questions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Question 1: What clan are you from?  <br/>   To honor my mother, and family, my father has pledged fealty to the Boar Clan.  However in honor of his ancient oaths, the secrets of Dragon Clan swordsmanship may only be passed to his direct descendants.   I will use htem in service to my clan, in accordance with the tenants of bushido, and in honor of the gods in heaven and the spirits here on earth.  <br/><br/>Question 2:  What family are you from?  <br/>   My father is a Mirumoto swordmaster.  I bare his name.  <br/><br/>Question 3: Profession:  I am a bushi.  <br/><br/>Question 4:  “I stand five feet and nine inches with a medium build and thick muscles.  My hair is thick and I keep it in a top knot.  In battle, I wear my father’s armor, green and gold.  In everyday life, I prefer a hakima and kimomo in dragon colors, a bit open in the chest, but my mon clearly states my allegiance.  <br/><br/>Question 5:  Primary Motivation:  Evil is a real thing in this world.  I wish to fight and destroy it.   (Preferably with a chance to write about it after, then read my book to adoring damsels.) <br/><br/>Question 6: Who do I trust most?  My parents.  <br/><br/>Question 7:  Strengths and weaknesses.  <br/>   I am regarded as a fine swordsman for my age, and I suppose that may be true.  I love the art, and train very hard, though some might not realize it because when the time comes to relax I have some bad habits.  (I don’t actually drink much sake, but that fine spirit is a convenient scapegoat when I overstep the lines.)  <br/><br/>Question 8:  Bushido<br/>   “My honor is my life.”  <br/><br/>Question 9:  <br/>   “The boar clan stands strong.  Demons cannot destroy them.  I will fight for them ‘til the day when their ancient enemies are done away with and they can retake their place in the world. “ <br/><br/>Question 10:  I am not married.  My parents have been making marriage negotiations but have yet to speak to me about it.  <br/>   When I was growing up, there was a little girl 4 valleys over, Tamori Ayame.  Like myself, she was from the dragon clan.  She has become a shugenja in Tamori tradition since, and I have drilled a few times to defend her on the field.  I wonder if it’s her?”  <br/>   (It is.)    <br/><br/>Question 11: Prejudices.  <br/>   Hitoshi’s idealism makes it a bit hard for him to deal with people who have fallen from the celestial order—especially Ronin.  Bushido is a righteous code, so how can those who have failed it be forgiven?  <br/>   Still, Mizuki—at least—is a righteous woman.  Perhaps I still have much to learn.  <br/><br/>Question 12:  Loyalty<br/>   “My father has my implicit trust.”  <br/><br/>Question 13:  Favorite Things:  <br/>   I love to feel my swords in my hands, cutting through the air or ringing against other blades.  I love the burn of fatigue, and look forwards to testing myself against a supernatural enemy.  <br/>   I love magic.  I love it when the spirits brush my world, even when it’s simply for a bit of mischief.  <br/>   I love to read.  Poetry is nice, but stories are better, the kind full of magic and love, blood and philosophy.  I love kabuki for the same reasons.  <br/><br/>Question 14: Mannerisms <br/><br/>Question 15:  Emotions:  <br/>   Hitoshi is usualy properly stoic, but more because it is romantic to be so.  <br/>   <br/>Question 16:  Subordinates: <br/><br/>Question 17: Description from parents: <br/><br/>Question 18: Ambitions<br/>   Wishes to battle supernatural evil.  <br/><br/>Question 19:  Religion<br/>   Tends to participate in rituals from every available tradition.  <br/><br/>Question 20: How will I die? <br/>   Spitting in Fu Leng’s eye.  <br/><br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Locatoin</div><div class="spoiler_body">Madam Yuriko’s Teahouse and Theater<br/><br/>   On main street, close to the outside of town, is a two story tea house with a small, well cared for garden.  The place is more raucous than the local Geisha house, but quite a bit more sophisticated than the other brothels.  Anyone with money is welcome, so young samurai rub elbows with merchants and prosperous commoners.  <br/>   The girl’s working here are all of negotiable virtue, but they’re present to provide all forms of entertainment.  Nowhere is this more evident than in the front room—a two story are with low tables.  On one side, tea, sake, and food is sold from behind a counter.  Across the low tables is a stage where the girls put on kabuki shows.   <br/><br/>   Madam Yuriko’s sponsor is Heichi Michio, an old captain with the daimyo’s ear.  <br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">People</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Aika:</strong>  A poor farmer was blessed with a beautiful daughter who could sing like an angel.  To pay his debts and better the lot of the rest of his family, he sold her to Madam Yukino.  <br/><br/>   Aika adjusted quickly to her lot in life.  She showed aptitude for the stage and often plays an innocent young woman or damsel in distress.  Though not skilled at acrobatics like some of the girls, she dances gracefully and sings with wistful beauty.  <br/><br/>   When Hitoshi was a little younger, and more drunk that usual, he got himself into trouble—along with a hare clan friend—to make a profession of love to her.  She has since been one of his favorites at Yuriko’s.  He considers her a friend and will allow no harm to come to her.  <br/><br/>   Hitoshi is still oblivious to the fact that Aika is wildly in love with him and wants to become his concubine.  <br/><br/><strong>Miramoto Hikari</strong>:<br/>   Miramoto Keiji’s yongest daughter, Hikari is ambidextrous.  When she was a child, she looked longlingly out into the yard where Keiji drilled her older brother Hitoshi in Miramoto sword play.  She longed to learn the art herself. <br/><br/>   This was not Hikari’s destiny.  She was given to the warriors of the boar clan for training as a sign of loyalty from Keiji.  Even years later, Hikari is not pleased with this and resents her brother for it.  <br/><br/><strong>Umeko: </strong> <br/>   A young Geisha who rails against her place in the celestial order and has become a member of the Kolat.  She has seduced Hitoshi by listening to his stories and encouraging his writing.  <br/><br/>   Umeko is 5’5” tall with liquid black eyes.  <br/><br/>Matsu Mizuki<br/>   A woman in her thirties, Mizuki is an affable ronin with great skill at arms.  Her tolerance for sake is only surpassed by her love for the fine drink, and she is never seen without a gourd thereof.  <br/><br/>   Mizuki only wants to be left alone to travel and enjoy her sake, but she cannot leave well enough alone when she sees people in trouble.  Last year, when a band of robbers descended upon a noodle shop, Mizuki fought beside Hitoshi and Usagi Jirou, earning Hitoshi’s respect.  <br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond
