				Welcome guys and to answer BraveEarth's question, you will be playing out the adventure from the beginning.&nbsp; Consider the future scene as a premptive warning from the future.&nbsp; You guys don't have to burn the sakeworks to the ground... *whistles innocently*

				Thank you for saying that last part Kirinis, I was worried we were going to have to play up to that point. &gt;&gt;;;<br><br>And Hachi if it is alirght with you, I mean Horses are not Kei's strong suit so she is rather... helpless unless she is walking next to you guys (Which while makes sense from a biological stand point Humans being more apt for steady long distance travel than horses I doubt it would be that practical to hold the rest of the group up) Although you're going to have to go soon, lemme poke our Unicorn to see (Plus her larger steed would be more suited for two people...)

Under normal circumstances, he would not be here, he would not be stepping through this land of the dead.&nbsp; But tonight was not normal at all.&nbsp; He was on the trail of someone he had been searching for some time, and fitting that it would be here that Ichirou would find the man.&nbsp; In truth, Ichirou wished that the trail was more elusive, or that his quarry had decided to completely disappeared, rather than create a path of clues that lead to this meeting.&nbsp; But his duty to his lord was clear, and Ichirou knew that the pain he felt was second to his lords.<br><br>The man he sought was standing between two grave stones, his hands resting disrespectfully on top of them.&nbsp; It was as if he was lounging beside the dead, his posture arrogant and bold considering who the man would be facing tonight.&nbsp; Perhaps he had a right to it, Ichirou reflected bitterly.&nbsp; The man knew he would be facing someone who's heart wasn't entirely focused in the endeavor.&nbsp; That alone could be something that could be seized and made use of.&nbsp; Uncomfortable silence settled in when Ichirou was a few paces away from the man.<br><br>"You came armed," the man said finally, breaking the silence.<br><br>"I would have disarmed myself, but a samurai without arms is useless to his lord," Ichirou joked.<br><br>"Spare me your poor sense of humor!"<br><br>"I would wish to spare you many things, Daiichi, but poor sense is something you and I share.&nbsp; Turn away from this path, seek redemption.&nbsp; What you do is dishonorable and a disgrace to our lord."<br><br>Daiichi hissed, "Redemption!&nbsp; Fool, you speak of seeking redemption at the blade of a wakazashi.&nbsp; You would ask your own brother to spill his blood in front of your lord?"<br><br>"Yes elder brother," Ichirou nodded.&nbsp; "I would rather you commit seppuku, and die with some honor redeemed, than have me spill the blood of kin and have you die with dishonor."<br><br>Snarling, Daiichi lifted his arms from the gravestones, pointing an accusing finger at his younger brother, "Honor.&nbsp; Honor found from your precious Bushido.&nbsp; The chains that had bound the both of us, but now only bind you for I found the wisdom to throw down my shackles.&nbsp; And now you ask I die a prisoner after finding freedom?&nbsp; You fool!"<br><br>"Fool indeed, in hoping that you see reason.&nbsp; But how could I not, for-" Ichirou whirled around, his swords drawn in a flash of steel, lashing out to behead the zombie that was lurching behind him.&nbsp; "Any slower and your minion would be dead."<br><br>"And still you jest?"&nbsp; Daiichi fumed.<br><br>"Rather than cry or rage, I would laugh instead.&nbsp; Laughter is armor, laughter is healing.&nbsp; Though I will not laugh about this for some time I suspect.&nbsp; Time to meet your end brother."<br><br>"The end is yours!"<br>It was now that Ichirou realized where the arrogance and boldness of his brother's posture stemmed from.&nbsp; It was not, as he had guessed, from knowing his reluctance to cut down his older brother.&nbsp; And if he had not been so self-absorbed in his own miseries, he would have noticed the tell-tale signs of upturned earth in the graves around him.&nbsp; Undead hands reached out, pulling themselves from the ground, clawing their way out, even as more shambled their way towards him.&nbsp; Seeing Daiichi run, Ichirou charged right after him, evading the hands that tried to grip him.&nbsp; One such hand nearly held him, and Ichirou severed the hand from the wrist with a flash of his katana.<br><br>Though he had started ahead of him, and although Ichirou had obstacles in his path, Daiichi was soon caught up to when he took a spill from uneven cobbles and pitched forward.&nbsp; Scrabbling onto his hands and knees, he whirled around to face his younger brother, holding out his hands pleadingly.<br>"Spare me brother!&nbsp; Mercy please!"<br>Ichirou hesitated.&nbsp; And that was enough.&nbsp; Hands behind him grabbed a hold of him and pitched him backwards, causing him to land with a heavy grunt.&nbsp; He righted himself as quickly as possible, but it was too late.&nbsp; His brother was already fleeing and he was left surrounded by undead.<br><br><div align="center">-Some time later-</div><br>Ichirou lay in bed, still recovering from his wounds.&nbsp; He had managed to fight clear of the undead, long enough to be rescued by his lord's men.&nbsp; The sound of footsteps approaching forced him to right himself, wincing from his injuries.&nbsp; He quickly masked his pain when he saw who had entered.<br><br>"My lord."<br><br>His lord regarded him coolly, "You recover."<br><br>"I do not.&nbsp; I have failed in my duty, and there is no recovery from that shame.&nbsp; To atone for my failure, I must commit seppuku."<br><br>"No, you will not," his lord answered.&nbsp; "It does not serve me so."<br><br>"In a moment of weakness, I let my brother escape, to continue his shame deeds.&nbsp; I am unfit to fulfill my duties as samurai.&nbsp; Let my death restore some honor."<br><br>"No."<br><br>"Then I beg of you a reason, so that I may see your wisdom."<br><br>His lord pierced him with his gaze, "I have already lost one son, I will not lose another."<br><br>Shamed, Ichirou looked downwards, bowing to his lord, "Then what am I do to?"<br><br>"As you said, you are unfit as you are.&nbsp; You will go and serve in the imperial legions, and acquire worth.&nbsp; When you have, then you will return."<br><br>"You would cast me out?" Ichirou blurted as he looked up at his lord, eyes widening before he looked back down again.&nbsp; "I shame myself further.&nbsp; My apologies."<br><br>Nothing was said, not even as his lord left to exit the room.&nbsp; Except there was a pause of motion at the door.<br><br>"Acquire worth soon," his father said before exiting.</div></div><br><strong>Experience Spent:</strong> Willpower 2-&gt;3 12xp, Reflexes 2-&gt;3 12xp, Defense 1-&gt;2 2xp, Iaijutsu 1-&gt;3 5xp, Kenjutsu 1-&gt;3 5xp, Investigation 2 3xp, Notice emphasis 2xp, Athletics 1 1xp, Sincerity 1 1xp, Sworn Enemy -3xp, Wary 3xp, Cursed by the Realm: Gaki-do -4xp, Kyujutsu 1 1xp

				Well not sure about the rules my self would have to read them over but in most RP games you only need ride skill if you are doing that is needing a skill check like ridein in to combat maybe or trying to get you ride to jump some thing other then that I we all can ride a horse from one point A to point B, but that is my two cents.

				Wheremycow Hachi has probably tried to be at least cordial with Ichirou his blade has a history with the Mirumoto Swordmasters you see and it's not all bad though he hopes to add more friendship in that particular part of his legacy as wielder. They might even become friends! Hachi has no grudge with anyone, except the Scorpion Clan but Yukiko is the exception to that and her handmaidens of course, he's more wary around Scorpions but judges them on their own actions than anything.

He is always very well groomed and very methodical in his approach to things. His clothes are stout but worn, it is unlikely to find him in silks, though this is likely because he may not be able to afford such luxury. He has a tightly trimmed mustache and goatee.<br>Thankfully does not follow the Sparrow stereotype of long winded story telling, though he does however always listen very intently to stories and will often request stories from a skilled storyteller.<br>Suzume's primary motivation:<br>To serve the Emperor with honor, he will of course have deep regrets if he is ordered to against his Clan but will do so if it is the Emperor's will. He does want to represent his Clan and show them that though the Sparrow may be a Minor Clan and with little infuence they should still be respected as warriors.<br>Who is the person your character trusts most in the world:<br>Suzume Miko, this is Hachi's female cousin. They have not spoken in over three years except by letter. Hachi is a lonely child but Miko is like a cousin to him, they spent their early childhood playing in the fields. She is currently studying with the Fox Clan Shugenja as she displayed the potential to be a Shugenja, a Fox Clan Shugenja offered to assist in her education, they have kept in contact by letters.<br>What is your characters greatest strength and weakness?<br>Hachi's greatest most admirable strenght is his disciplined, humble nature. His greatest weakness is his one for women, although he isn't prone to taking them to bed as some men are wont to, he does find women he is attracted to, whether physically or mentally, some what distracting. He's also more suceptible to having his ear bent by them.<br>What does Hachi think of Bushido:<br>Honesty is the least important aspect of Bushido in his mind although Hachi would likely never say so out loud, he wont lie strictly speaking but he will choose his words carefully and leave himself room to wiggle if need be. Lieing isn't a concept he has huge experience with however and isn't all that good at even being misleading. Duty is the most important aspect.<br>Hachi' Opinion of the Sparrow<br>He believes the Sparrow clan have a purer version of what it is the Samurai should be, they serve the Emperor, Samurai must organise the Empire for the Emperor and serve him in all things. How many other clans could work such harsh land and guard but never use the rich lands they must never use as set aside by the Emperor. He is proud that his Clan has never failed in this task and has helped guard the sacred plains himself.<br>Is your character married?<br>Hachi was previously bethrothed to a Fox Clan Shugenja, they had only met a few times but her beauty made him blush and that made her smile. Sadly she has not been seen in many years after she disappearred in the woods of the Fox Clan. She has been declared dead by her own Clan and with a heavy heart Hachi accepted that the woman with the ruby lips who he had thought would be mother to his children was dead. He did not love her yet but it was clear to most that they looked like their marriage would have been a happy one. Hachi still sometimes dreams of his bethroded, intense dreams and ones he rarely speaks of as it was things they had not yet done. It has been suggested to him that there would be worse things for him than to find a bride amongst those he meets, although the other members of the Legion will of course be likely richer than him those women who might dismiss a political marriage normally with a Sparrow will take not of the fact he has received the honour of joining the legion.<br>Does Hachi have any prejudices:<br>Hachi has no great love for the Crab but respects the task they take on and will give them some extra leeway as a Clan. He looks upon the Scorpion Clan with suspicion, they are the most corrupt clan it seems to him and he has lost several friends to their warriors.<br>Who does Hachi serve the most loyally?<br>Up to this point Hachi served the Sparrow Clan Champion loyally, in the small Clan Holdings he has had several opportunities to meet the Champion and even played a few games of Go with the man. Far away from his people and his Champion his loyalty may shift though as any Samurai will say when asked he will reply that his loyalty is to the Emperor.<br>What are Hachi's favour and least favourite things?<br>Hachi's guilty pleasure is spending time with beautiful women, this can take many forms from a simple game of Go to training. Sometimes when he sits with them he smiles though his mind has wandered to his lost Fox bride to be.<br>He dislikes courtly flamboyant events, he is too far out of his element and can't be comfortable.<br>Does Hachi have any recurring mannerisms?<br>Hachi will often stroke his beard when in thought over a conversation, playing go or examining battlemats. His own personal motto is&nbsp; "Obedience brings victory." When travelling he has a habit of looking at fields.<br>What are your characters emotions?<br>Hachi will most often laugh, it is the easiest emotional response to get from him generally speaking. Attractive women might find that blushes are just as common, without them necessarily trying to elicit that response.<br>How would Hachi deal with subordonates?<br>Hachi would probably say that he would seek to find the cause of the problem and why it had arrisen. In reality he probably wouldn't be quite as understanding as he'd like to think he would. He would be very strict in the event that they had tried to hide and cover up the infraction.<br>How do Hachi's parents view him?<br>Hachi is a lonely child and his parents adore him, his mother and father watched him leave pride visible on their faces. He has always been a deligent son. They had grown worried when the beautiful Fox had died, there son though not shirking his duties did not take to tasks with the same joy, that mood has passed for many months but his mother a Crane by birth worries that the women from the outside world might prove difficult for him to manage, especially those of the Scorpion who she has warned him away from, they would think little of manipulating him and she knows he would stand little chance against a skilled courtier.<br>What is Hachi's highest ambition?<br>He has already achieved a position in the Legion, although he would not be opposed to ascending rank he merely hopes to acquire honour for his Clan. He would be most pleased to one day stand before the Emperor in recognition of a life time honourable service, he would equally be pleased with either this or a meaningful death in service at some great battle after performing some remarkable deed... preferably once he has children to carry on his name. In other words he wants to see his name being pointed to and seen as an example for the Sparrow to be respected.<br>How religious is Hachi?<br>Hachi is religious to an extent but rarely visits a temple without reason. He prefers praying in the moment as he'd say and prefers meditation in nature. He used to visit temples a little more regularily but now he finds it hard to pray and meditate in them meaningfully, his mind tends to wander<br>How will Hachi die?<br>He will die because of a woman, he will die to defend a woman or because one manipulates him. He has romantic ideas of how men and women work out in real life, leading his nature to prove himself infront of others to be exacerbated by the presence of a woman he thinks might take interest in him if she sees him honourably coming to her aid. Perhaps this death will come in the midst of battle with no manipulation, moving to intercept an arrow meant for a comrades back before falling to the ground.</div></div>
