				This would be the place to continue our discussions on character creation, setting, NPCs and so forth. I will edit this initial post with links to the IC thread and a character/NPC thread.

				Works for me. <br><br>There were several sections of character generation that I had to skip because they involved discussion with the GM. I’m not going to assume that my character serves anyone of importance; he’s a nobody and positions in the service of important people are highly sought after. So I have no idea who he serves. I opted for a duty that will not come into play immediately; he’s been assigned as the yojimbo of a newborn who has yet to leave the nursery but is destined for greatness. A few other things too.

				That's fine with me Pumpkin.<br><br>I did have a question about character creation as well. Namely how did you want to handle question 18? Roll and see what we get or just pick manually? I've seen both used before.

				So currently my thought is either a Shiba Guardian or Kakita Duelist. Which do we have a preference for? They would be rather polar opposites in terms of mechanics- One focused on dueling and one focused on being between others and a sword.

				That works quite well Avalon. I could see this feud coming to light very well. Did this feud turn into an actual separation of the families or is there still a portion of them married into the Phoenix?<br><br>I also do like the newborn idea Captain and this could certainly evolve into a debt between your family and this other. Perhaps this is to repay some sort of debt your family acquired in the Burning Sands. A sort of life debt that now your character must repay when the child comes of age. Maybe you can set this in opposition to your romantic storyline by saying your family expects you to keep your honor untarnished and your obligations easily dismissed in preparation for this duty. Your character is not supposed to take any prominent positions of power or influence that might give conflict to their promised, future service. Which of course makes your character a poor candidate for marriage to this Utaku. Considering also Utaki Battlemaidens typically require their men to watch the house, this would be impossible for a yojimbo.<br><br><br>Your Emerald Magistrate commander basically will be&nbsp; Yasuki Yun that is a bit of a conspiracy theorist and has a dangerous, if not unconventional, obsession with "following the koku."<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/carlosoliveira/kaneshirotakeshi/takeshi-kaneshiro3.jpg)</div>

				I think the duelist thing could be fun. Crane and Dragon have a rather famous rivalry. Honestly an old L5R game I ran once had the best interaction between a Crane duelist and a Kuni witchhunter. The two were such opposites that they came off as a buddy cop pairing from a movie.

				Well in Hikari's case, she'd be a model rather than a rigger. My thought is a shibari house would be a blindfold and mask affair- the models wear a blindfold while the rigger wears a mask. If the rigger decides to remove the blindfold or mask, that's their choice. Otherwise, the model is there for the rigger to use rope on as they please, with the only rules being no causing injury and no sex (there's Geisha for that).<br><br>&nbsp;So it'd be up to Yoshi if they recognize each other or if Yoshi just recognizes Hikari from his art sessions.

While one of her duties is answering duels, her keen insight and willingness to question some odd proclamations during an investigation make her a fair asset. While not trained as a shugenja, Hikari does have her childhood education from the Dragon clan on spiritual matters.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Rest of the 20 questions</div><div class="spoiler_body">4. Standing out in school:<br>Adaptability, friendliness or awareness<br><br>7. Clan Relationship: <br>Hikari maintains a strrong relationship with her clan.&nbsp; Both her parents are skilled samurai in their own right and took turns training her in all aspects of Bushido. Hikari knows she can call on them when she truly needs, though her own pride means she is rarely apt to do so. <br><br>8. Bushido: <br>Hikari believes Bushido is a guide to live by, but absolute observation leads to a life where you cannot better yourself. In this, she is a follower of her clan's teachings, seeking to understand Bushido to find enlightenment.<br><br>9. Accomplishment: Hikari's greatest accomplishment to date was just after her gempukku, when her Daimyo asked her to escort a merchant caravan from the keep to a small nearby village. Bandits had moved into the area and the caravan needed protection while more experienced samurai rooted the bandits out of the forest. About halfway through the journey, in the densest part of the forest, the caravan came under attack by a small group of the bandits. Outnumbered, Hikari was wounded and lost the use of her right arm during the battle, having to rely on her left hand to fend the bandits off. A dozen bodies lay around her, blood drenching her clothing, by the time reinforcements had come.<br><br><br>10. Setback: After the attack on the merchant caravan and after recovering, Hikari had joined the search for the bandit hideout. When they found the hideout, Hikari went into a fury, striking down any of the bandits she could reach. Her anger and bloodthirst was such that even after being ordered to leave them alive to face judgement, she still struck them down. Her anger is her greatest setback to her goals in life, causing her to lash out when pushed and slay a foe when she should have saved them.<br><br><br>11. At Peace: Hikari finds the art of shibari, being bound by rope, peaceful and almost meditative. An unusual hobby, especially for a samurai. While it is not one she publicly advertises, she does carry a small token to show that she practices it, a knot of rope with a golden hand clasping it.<br><br><br>12. Anxiety: Hikari's greatest worry in life is being able to find someone to spend the rest of it with. Every relationship she's had, every attempt at romance, ended in tragedy in one form or another. Even the arranged marriage with a bushi from the Phoenix had ended poorly when the bushi lost his life to a ronin bandit.<br><br><br>13. Important Relationship: <br><br><br>14. Distinctive Traits and Behaviors: <br><br><br>15. Under Stress: <br><br><br>16. Existing Relationships With Other Groups: Hikari, like most Mirumoto, has a rivalry going with the Kakita and their duelist school. She sees them as the prime roadblock to her greatness as a duelist and seeks to challenge them where possible. She holds respect for the crab clan, the harshness of their lands being so similar to her own home. While Hikari's mother is from the Lion clan, there is little interaction she has had with them outside of the odd relative coming to visit.<br><br>17. Parents: Both of Hikari's parents were samurai and bushi in their own right, her father an accomplished duelist himself and her mother a Matsu of the Lion clan. Hikari's own sometimes rash nature can be traced to her Lion lineage<br><br><br>18. Glorious Sacrifice: <br>One of your ancestors perished honorably in battle, and their signature Razor-edged Sacred Jian was lost. Hikari's ancestor, whom she was named for, had gone to assist the Crab Clan against the threats of jigoku, <br><br>20.

				So the Ninjo looks as if she wants to gain glory and prestige as a duelist.<br><br>I am guessing with the Giri, perhaps we can make her lord a Kitsuki that places more value on intellectual pursuits and investigation? So maybe he does not see the value of dueling and perhaps has blocked her more than once from taking part in a duel. Or maybe this is an older Mirumoto that is coming close to retirement and has lost many loved ones to what he views as "stupidity and youth" and doesn't want to see that happen.

				Possibly, it would explain Hikari having better training in theology and meditation than melee. Her ferocity comes from not being able to freely follow her goals and her interest in shibari is a slight middle finger to her lord, a way of saying she's choosing who gets control, even if for a little bit and in a limited way.

Just trying to figure out what I want for the rank 7 item or less.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Character sheet</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Name</strong></span>: Shosuro Reiko<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Clan</strong></span>: Scorpion<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Family</strong></span>: Shosuro<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>School</strong></span>: Shosuro Shadow Weaver<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Ninjo</strong></span>: She longs to be able to stand in the spotlight. To be more than a face in the crowd.She wants the chances to be the honored victor not the name that nobody remembers or have her name spit on as a villain. This runs into an issue where sometimes she has to pick between duty and the greater good and a chance at being an honorable samurai.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Giri</strong></span>: Her duty is simple be a public face for the clan, stand in the courts, nod politely and quietly manipulate events in the background so they favor the Scorpions without drawing too much attention to what the clan is actually supposed to be doing even if that means doing the dishonorable thing.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Rest of the 20 questions</div><div class="spoiler_body">4. Standing out in school:<br>During her training adaptability was her specialty. Performing equally well in the physical arts, ways of courts, and her shugenja studies. <br><br>7. Clan Relationship: <br>The clan relationship is a confusing one. Torn between two sides of her heritage and caught in the middle of a blood feud it can be hard to figure out who to trust.&nbsp; It doesn’t help that unlike many other Shosuro her role is a more public one where her identity is revealed versus the others who go through their lives hidden as actors and entertainers. She has to deal with being a very public target for those who want to blame Scorpions for everything and she does resent being stuck in the middle of all this chaos at least a little bit<br>8. Bushido: <br>Her relationship with Bushido is a complicated one. Like all scorpions she views duty above all and while she does not disparage honor. He’s also willing to throw it away for the sake of that duty. Despite it all however there is a certain longing for it. As someone who doesn’t have the privilege of sticking to it and stay in the shadows, there is a want for the chance to be the one standing in the light of glory for once.<br><br>9. Accomplishment: <br>Her greatest gift and the reason she was given her position is her ability to spot the subtle clues both on the battlefield and in court. The most notable achievement known by her family was uncovering a secret messaging system used by the Isawa to transport instructions between its courtiers. She was able to get a few months use out of it until it was discovered and changed, allowing her branch of the Shosuro family to advance against their hated enemy.<br><br><br>10. Setback: <br>Things are not always easy for her in court and abroad. There is a blood feud between her own branch of the Shosuro family and one of the Isawa lords. They blame her family for stealing a precious artifact that was guarded by one of her phoenix ancestors before she married into her family. When it disappeared her family was to blame. Her family refused to take the blame and was offended by the accusation while the Isawa insulted them and refused to search for other culprits. The issue soon growing into a full blood feud as the generations passed and the fighting got worse.<br><br>11. At Peace: <br>Unsurprisingly the place where she feels the most at home is in the middle of conflict and social niceties.&nbsp; Surrounded by all this infighting both in court and on the field of battle he’s learned to spot where each of the sore points are between people and knows just the right buttons to push to reignite problems old and new.<br><br>12. Anxiety: <br>While there are many benefits to her position as a more public figure in the Scorpions there are downsides too. She still has to complete less honorable tasks in the shadows even when outside Scorpion lands and she cannot discuss it with other Shosuro either without risking giving away their identities. She is a tool for the clan and must focus on the larger picture. Human connection is too much of risk so she has issues dealing with such things when they appear.<br><br><br>13. Important Relationship: <br>Growing up she had a close relationship with a Yogo Wardmaster who taught her the importance of preparation and instructed her in the deeper secrets of a Shugenja, helping to foster her connection with the spirits. Unfortunately she also picked up the habit of spending far too much time preparing and worrying about the causes of her family’s own issues. Any serious political entanglements such as political marriages tend to send her into overtime preparing to handle it and read the fine print even if it doesn’t make logical sense.<br><br><br>14. Distinctive Traits and Behaviors: <br>Fidgets with the sleeve of her robe when caught off guard by sudden changes. Wears a red jade necklace with a scorpion and phoenix locked in an embrace. Her clothes and armor always seem to be pristine and clean even after a hard ride. Something sheconstantly takes care of to make sure she’s fully presentable for court. It’s one of the few remnants of the original wedding that started the blood feud between families<br><br>15. Under Stress: <br>When under stress she tends to pull away requiring time to think and calm herself. When that’s not possible she tends to indulge in stirring the pot and venomous remarks. She seems to go slow and still, almost frozen when feelings overwhelm her until the point they burst out usually in a biting remark.<br><br>16. Existing Relationships With Other Groups: <br>Mantis Clan:&nbsp; She spent some time training following a storm fleet TideSeer for a season to learn how they used fog and storms to assist during their aggressive brand of commerce and diplomacy.<br>Crane clan: As part of her training involved learning how court life functioned, inevitably she found herself at one point found herself at the Crane courts where she learned both the&nbsp; public side of politics and the shadowy games played underneath the regal proceedings, including a brief glimpse at how well Daidoji spymaster’s could play the game.<br>Phoenix: The most impactful relationship that she has with foreign groups is Isawa Mifune the current leader of the Isawa branch family that is in a feud with her own family and Isawa Kaoru, Mifune’s heir and daughter. Over the course of training, she had several run-ins with Kaoru, always on opposite sides no matter the subject. One could say that the sky was blue and the other would argue the sky is indigo just to come out with a ‘win’. Thankfully it hasn’t evolved into straight up violence or a dual just yet.<br><br>17. Parents: <br>Family relationships are not an easy thing for Scorpions. Especially those who end up in the middle of a blood feud between a family of Scorpions and a Phoenix lord. Still she did her best and feeling the need to foster her own abilities to defend himself, fostering her martial skills and ability to fight up close as much as her stealth skills.<br><br>18. Named to honor: <br><br>Guardian of Forbidden Knowledge: One of your kin guards or once guarded a reliquary of forbidden knowledge. Either your family still has responsibility for guarding the reliquary, or it has gone missing.<br><br><br>She was named in honor Isawa Rumiko a Phoenix clan ancestor who married into her clan. She was to guardian to an ancient artifact of the phoenix but it disappeared shortly after the marriage.&nbsp; Her family was blamed for the theft and that was the incident that started the blood feud between her branch of the Shosuro family and her ancestor’s branch of the Isawa family.

				For Hikari, my reasoning is that she spent a good deal of time learning how to focus inward despite really wanting to be a great duelist. She struggles to reconcile the expectations of her family, mentor, and lord with her own goals. So she's not as skilled with the blade to start as she could probably be, because she's spent so much time focusing inward and also just being physically buff.

				First draft! I'm having some difficulty with question 13 (her mentor).

What is your character's relationship with their clan?<br><br>Kiyoko deeply respects the Crab clan's great sacrifice in protecting the rest of Rokugan, though she occasionally resents her position within the clan. People only really notice if she does her job <em>incorrectly</em>. (+5 Glory)<br><br>8. What does your character think of bushido?<br><br>"Fighting the creatures we do, it is easy to view Bushido as restrictive. Hampering. Shackles to be cast off. But when you see the taint of the shadowlands... you realize it's not. It's armor. But no one can wear armor all the time." (+1 Skulduggery)<br><br>Kiyoko thinks Bushido is a great ideal to strive for, but is somewhat disillusioned with it. It can lead to needless sacrifice; making the honorable choice, rather than the practical one.<br><br>9. What is your character's greatest accomplishment so far?<br><br>Ended a local trade dispute by showing up with several dozen cases of fine sake - just as the stock had run dry. The trade lane just barely reopened in time to get supplies to a starved-out part of the Kaiu wall. (Daikoku's Blessing)<br><br>10. What holds your character back the most in life?<br><br><em>Blackmailed By...</em> Someone who shouldn't know Kiyoko's family history has uncovered the story of Kio the Merchant, and is threatening to reveal everything.<br><br>11. What activity most makes your character feel at peace?<br><br>Generosity. Kiyoko has a rather strange relationship with money; she's used to handling it, and used to negotiating and making business deals. She views it only as a convenient medium to get the things she really wants. Investing in someone else's happiness is certainly a viable strategy - particularly if she needs the person's cooperation anyway.<br><br>12. What concern, fear, or foible troubles your character the most?<br><br>Imposter syndrome. Kiyoko has never truly 'felt like' a samurai. Her duty to the Crab clan is an important enough job to at least earn the respect of her Clanmates, but the Crab are a rough bunch. She can't help but feel like she doesn't belong amongst the nobility.<br><br>13. Who has your character learned the most from during their life?<br><br>Brewmaster Jin - a commoner in service at the castle where Kiyoko grew up. He was responsible for coordinating with local farmers and members of the Yasuki, turning rice and grains that would otherwise go to waste into sake and beer. With both her parents constantly busy, they were glad to have someone who seemed willing to watch her, which resulted in Kiyoko getting far more exposure to commoners than considered appropriate. Her speech patterns - and overall lack of disdain - have a way of putting commonfolk at ease. (Ebisu's Blessing)<br><br>14. What do people notice first upon encountering your character?<br><br>There's <em>just something</em> about Kiyoko's looks that don't say 'Yasuki' - or any Crab family, for that matter. Though it's now several generations removed, her common blood makes her look ever so slightly out of place to those paying close attention.<br><br>Kiyoko wears a string of beads (sometimes around her neck, sometimes around her wrist) made of unpolished blue jasper. (https://img5.cobeads.com/photos/9/8/9818611c-a23b-4863-9514-50c2e73dedc4.JPG) She has a habit of touching them or clacking them together when she's getting impatient, but she's realized this and occasionally does it out of nowhere to throw people off. Particularly during negotiations.<br><br>She carries an unusually large amount of bu and zeni, rather than koku. A single, carefully invested zeni is still far more valuable than a bag full of unused koku.<br><br>15. How does your character react to stressful situations?<br><br>Mild annoyances result in a slightly raised voice; Kiyoko isn't even consciously aware she's doing it. Shh isn't much for angry outbursts, though, and is far more likely to be frustrated to tears, or push a pessimistic mood onto everyone around her.<br><br>16. What are your character's preexisting relationships with other clans, families, organizations, and traditions?<br><br>Crane: As a member of the Yasuki, Kiyoko is <em>technically</em> barred from Crane lands. She's traveled through them in disguise before, either disguised as a laborer, or a member of another Crab family. She tries to give individual members a chance, but their reputation for haughtiness feels well-earned.<br><br>Dragon: Being from the opposite sides of the realm, Kiyoko has had little interaction with members of the Dragon clan, other than a few pleasantries with the Kitsuki while at court, and with travelling Togashi while on the road. They've all been different enough that Kiyoko doesn't have a good read on the Dragon clan overall.<br><br>Scorpion: Kiyoko feels an odd kinship with this clan; Kami Hida and Bayushi having both taken on undesirable, thankless jobs within Rokugani society. There are Scorpion samurai far more honorable than any Crane, and Crane samurai far more devious than any Scorpion. Crab lands and those of the Scorpion share a fairly large border, so Kiyoko has grown quite accustomed to dealing with them (particularly since routes through the Southern Crane Lands require her to lie or disguise herself), and is personally familiar with several jizamurai from the area. (+Concealed Armor)<br><br>Unicorn: Kiyoko maintains several amicable relationships with members if the Ide family. They're some of the best people to know if you're looking for exotic goods that can't easily be acquired in Rokugan. As a general rule, Kiyoko likes Unicorn bushi more than their Lion counterparts, but she resents that her own clan's military prowess seems to be often overlooked.<br><br>17. How would your character's parents describe them?<br><br>"Simultaneously friendly and aloof. She has a way of reading people even she doesn't understand." (+1 Sincerity)<br><br>Kiyoko doesn't have much of a relationship with her mother, a member of the Kuni. Her mother's studies left her emotionally unavailable; they talk occasionally, but have never been close.<br><br>Her father manages the acquisition and transportation of building materials (primarily wood and stone) in the north-western-most corner of the Crab lands.<br><br>18. Who was your character named to honor?<br><br>Kio the Merchant. Kiyoko's (great? great-great?) grandfather was a less-than-scrupulous merchant who effectively bought his own nobility. He made a generous donation of rice and building materials to the Crab clan, just when they needed it most. The Yasuki Daimyo elevated Kio to a samurai <br><br>Elevated for Service (+1 Skulduggery)<br><br>19. What is your character's personal name?<br><br>Yoko - she's ashamed to admit it, but it's because she's embarrassed by her ancestry, and it removes the part of her name that sounds like 'Kio'.<br><br>20. How should your character die?<br><br>With no more tricks, friends, or favors to fall back on, Kiyoko trades the one thing she has left in service of the Crab. Hopefully she gets a good deal for it.<br></div></div></div></div>

				There is a particular anxiety for that one which I will have to find at some point where she doesn't feel as if she belongs or is afraid someone will boot her out. Which considering the Blackmail might not be far from it. Though from what you describe the Gaijin disadvantage might be more what you are thinking since she is legitimately a member of the samurai caste.

As Makoto was originally trained to be a courtier as a counterpoint to her brother who was a bushi, when he left and she needed to begin new training, she took to it with a smile that was both beautiful and dangerous. As if she was meant to hold the blade, and this left a very strong impression on her teacher. <br>Advantage- Dangerous Allure<br><br>10.) Makoto is unfortunately a bit full of herself, and is extremely overconfident in her ability to grab attention.<br>Disadvantage- Overconfidence (Charm)<br><br>11.) Makoto has a passion for writing, often taking the chance to write within a little book she carries with her.<br>Passion- Wordplay (Air)<br><br>12.) Makoto has a lot on her shoulders, the honor of her family, the honor of her Lord and the duty that he set before her, the stress of her brothers disappearance. It all adds up fixing a lot of stress on her shoulders, her heart, and her mind. And because of this she's a bit of an alcoholic, needing to relax with a bottle of sake whenever she gets the chance.<br>Anxiety- Addiction [Sake] (Earth)<br><br>13.) Makoto had always been very close to her twin brother, they were two halves of a whole, soulmates. As they went through schooling of their different paths, they taught each other what they knew in secret, as they wanted the other to have any advantage they could. Because of this, Jin taught her to use his sword, and trained her how to use it in either hand, as using the left could be the difference between life and death. <br>Advantage- Ambidexterity (Air)<br><br><br>14.) Doji Makoto tries to set herself as looking the ideal crane, as she was a doji originally trained to be a courtier, she always tends to look impeccable. Even for someone looking to go to battle, as someone with poise and grace even in a situation that could be bloody can also unnerve their opponent. Her clothes are always well managed by her attendant, her hair well cared for, and makeup always set perfect on her face. Even then, she has something that is striking against the whites and blues of her clan colors, a string of red tied around her wrist on her left hand. Something that she wears in remembrance of her brother, hoping that with it the red string of fate will bring her to him.<br><br>15.) In stressful situations she tends to bring out the charm, but if the levels start escalating she will start getting colder with her tone and words, sharp even. And until she can get a chance to drink and detox from the situation, she would fiddle with the red string on her wrist.<br><br>16.) Makoto as a student of the Kakita, she is in rivalry with the Matsu family, and has made some enemies with prior encounters with them. It's like fate almost.<br><br>17.) "Driven, and at times intensely so, as if carrying the weigh of more than just the two it should be with her brother." (+1 Martial Arts [Melee])<br><br>Makoto has a very good relationship with her mother, her mother who wants to support her and let her know that she is not alone, hopefully take some of the stress off one of the only children she has left.<br><br>Makoto's relationship with her father is far more strained, he's placing so much of his desires upon her that he had for his son, and he knows this is likely going to cause their relationship to fall apart. And he wishes that he didn't, but he can't stop. She is now his legacy. Her success is and her failures are everything for the family. <br><br>18.) Makoto is named directly after the tenant of sincerity, as she was to be a courtier, and they hoped that she would live and breathe it.<br>Samurai Heritage- Imperial Heritage <br>Advantage- Blessed Lineage<br>+10 Status<br>(... I am amazed I rolled this, but now it explains the dad.)<br><br>19.) Makoto's personal name is Hikari. (Light)<br><br>20.) From the consequences of the true reason her brother left, at least knowing why... But does she finish her other duties...</div></div><br><br><br><strong>I DID A THING!</strong>

				There is an Anxiety called Eyes of Many where your character is worried about others judging them, watching them and so forth. That might work well with your notion of the character feeling embarrassed or perhaps feeling like they don't fit into samurai society. Maybe thinking any moment a person will come out and point out that they are a fraud or that their family is a fraud.<br><br>As for the Blackmail, I can see it but at the same time your character is a member of samurai caste and was legitimately made one. Revealing such a secret would do more to embarrass the Yasuki and call into question their practices of establishing samurai, which would really bring more pain on the holder of the secret. If you want to sort of draw that out more or maybe reveal something more than maybe, but really the Blackmail thing should be a bit more personal. You could also look at the disadvantage Adopted Peasant which may give you that same feel you are looking for with the character.

Standing out in school:<br>Adaptability, friendliness or awareness<br><br>7. Clan Relationship: <br>Hikari maintains a strrong relationship with her clan.&nbsp; Both her parents are skilled samurai in their own right and took turns training her in all aspects of Bushido. Hikari knows she can call on them when she truly needs, though her own pride means she is rarely apt to do so. <br><br>8. Bushido: <br>Hikari believes Bushido is a guide to live by, but absolute observation leads to a life where you cannot better yourself. In this, she is a follower of her clan's teachings, seeking to understand Bushido to find enlightenment.<br><br>9. Accomplishment: Hikari's greatest accomplishment to date was just after her gempukku, when her Daimyo asked her to escort a merchant caravan from the keep to a small nearby village. Bandits had moved into the area and the caravan needed protection while more experienced samurai rooted the bandits out of the forest. About halfway through the journey, in the densest part of the forest, the caravan came under attack by a small group of the bandits. Outnumbered, Hikari was wounded and lost the use of her right arm during the battle, having to rely on her left hand to fend the bandits off. A dozen bodies lay around her, blood drenching her clothing, by the time reinforcements had come.<br><br><br>10. Setback: After the attack on the merchant caravan and after recovering, Hikari had joined the search for the bandit hideout. When they found the hideout, Hikari went into a fury, striking down any of the bandits she could reach. Her anger and bloodthirst was such that even after being ordered to leave them alive to face judgement, she still struck them down. Her anger is her greatest setback to her goals in life, causing her to lash out when pushed and slay a foe when she should have saved them.<br><br><br>11. At Peace: Hikari finds the art of shibari, being bound by rope, peaceful and almost meditative. An unusual hobby, especially for a samurai. While it is not one she publicly advertises, she does carry a small token to show that she practices it, a knot of rope with a golden hand clasping it.<br><br><br>12. Anxiety: Hikari's greatest worry in life is being able to find someone to spend the rest of it with. Every relationship she's had, every attempt at romance, ended in tragedy in one form or another. Even the arranged marriage with a bushi from the Phoenix had ended poorly when the bushi lost his life to a ronin bandit.<br><br><br>13. Important Relationship: <br><br><br>14. Distinctive Traits and Behaviors: <br><br><br>15. Under Stress: <br><br><br>16. Existing Relationships With Other Groups: Hikari, like most Mirumoto, has a rivalry going with the Kakita and their duelist school. She sees them as the prime roadblock to her greatness as a duelist and seeks to challenge them where possible. She holds respect for the crab clan, the harshness of their lands being so similar to her own home. While Hikari's mother is from the Lion clan, there is little interaction she has had with them outside of the odd relative coming to visit.<br><br>17. Parents: Both of Hikari's parents were samurai and bushi in their own right, her father an accomplished duelist himself and her mother a Matsu of the Lion clan. Hikari's own sometimes rash nature can be traced to her Lion lineage<br><br><br>18.

Standing out in school:<br>During her training adaptability was her specialty. Performing equally well in the physical arts, ways of courts, and her shugenja studies. <br><br>7. Clan Relationship: <br>The clan relationship is a confusing one. Torn between two sides of her heritage and caught in the middle of a blood feud it can be hard to figure out who to trust.&nbsp; It doesn’t help that unlike many other Shosuro her role is a more public one where her identity is revealed versus the others who go through their lives hidden as actors and entertainers. She has to deal with being a very public target for those who want to blame Scorpions for everything and she does resent being stuck in the middle of all this chaos at least a little bit<br>8. Bushido: <br>Her relationship with Bushido is a complicated one. Like all scorpions she views duty above all and while she does not disparage honor. He’s also willing to throw it away for the sake of that duty. Despite it all however there is a certain longing for it. As someone who doesn’t have the privilege of sticking to it and stay in the shadows, there is a want for the chance to be the one standing in the light of glory for once.<br><br>9. Accomplishment: <br>Her greatest gift and the reason she was given her position is her ability to spot the subtle clues both on the battlefield and in court. The most notable achievement known by her family was uncovering a secret messaging system used by the Isawa to transport instructions between its courtiers. She was able to get a few months use out of it until it was discovered and changed, allowing her branch of the Shosuro family to advance against their hated enemy.<br><br><br>10. Setback: <br>Things are not always easy for her in court and abroad. There is a blood feud between her own branch of the Shosuro family and one of the Isawa lords. They blame her family for stealing a precious artifact that was guarded by one of her phoenix ancestors before she married into her family. When it disappeared her family was to blame. Her family refused to take the blame and was offended by the accusation while the Isawa insulted them and refused to search for other culprits. The issue soon growing into a full blood feud as the generations passed and the fighting got worse.<br><br>11. At Peace: <br>Unsurprisingly the place where she feels the most at home is in the middle of conflict and social niceties.&nbsp; Surrounded by all this infighting both in court and on the field of battle he’s learned to spot where each of the sore points are between people and knows just the right buttons to push to reignite problems old and new.<br><br>12. Anxiety: <br>While there are many benefits to her position as a more public figure in the Scorpions there are downsides too. She still has to complete less honorable tasks in the shadows even when outside Scorpion lands and she cannot discuss it with other Shosuro either without risking giving away their identities. She is a tool for the clan and must focus on the larger picture. Human connection is too much of risk so she has issues dealing with such things when they appear.<br><br><br>13. Important Relationship: <br>Growing up she had a close relationship with a Yogo Wardmaster who taught her the importance of preparation and instructed her in the deeper secrets of a Shugenja, helping to foster her connection with the spirits. Unfortunately she also picked up the habit of spending far too much time preparing and worrying about the causes of her family’s own issues. Any serious political entanglements such as political marriages tend to send her into overtime preparing to handle it and read the fine print even if it doesn’t make logical sense.<br><br><br>14. Distinctive Traits and Behaviors: <br>Fidgets with the sleeve of her robe when caught off guard by sudden changes. Wears a red jade necklace with a scorpion and phoenix locked in an embrace. Her clothes and armor always seem to be pristine and clean even after a hard ride. Something sheconstantly takes care of to make sure she’s fully presentable for court. It’s one of the few remnants of the original wedding that started the blood feud between families<br><br>15. Under Stress: <br>When under stress she tends to pull away requiring time to think and calm herself. When that’s not possible she tends to indulge in stirring the pot and venomous remarks. She seems to go slow and still, almost frozen when feelings overwhelm her until the point they burst out usually in a biting remark.<br><br>16. Existing Relationships With Other Groups: <br>Mantis Clan:&nbsp; She spent some time training following a storm fleet TideSeer for a season to learn how they used fog and storms to assist during their aggressive brand of commerce and diplomacy.<br>Crane clan: As part of her training involved learning how court life functioned, inevitably she found herself at one point found herself at the Crane courts where she learned both the&nbsp; public side of politics and the shadowy games played underneath the regal proceedings, including a brief glimpse at how well Daidoji spymaster’s could play the game.<br>Phoenix: The most impactful relationship that she has with foreign groups is Isawa Mifune the current leader of the Isawa branch family that is in a feud with her own family and Isawa Kaoru, Mifune’s heir and daughter. Over the course of training, she had several run-ins with Kaoru, always on opposite sides no matter the subject. One could say that the sky was blue and the other would argue the sky is indigo just to come out with a ‘win’. Thankfully it hasn’t evolved into straight up violence or a dual just yet.<br><br>17. Parents: <br>Family relationships are not an easy thing for Scorpions. Especially those who end up in the middle of a blood feud between a family of Scorpions and a Phoenix lord. Still she did her best and feeling the need to foster her own abilities to defend himself, fostering her martial skills and ability to fight up close as much as her stealth skills.<br><br>18. Named to honor: <br><br>Guardian of Forbidden Knowledge: One of your kin guards or once guarded a reliquary of forbidden knowledge. Either your family still has responsibility for guarding the reliquary, or it has gone missing.<br><br><br>She was named in honor Isawa Rumiko a Phoenix clan ancestor who married into her clan. She was to guardian to an ancient artifact of the phoenix but it disappeared shortly after the marriage.&nbsp; Her family was blamed for the theft and that was the incident that started the blood feud between her branch of the Shosuro family and her ancestor’s branch of the Isawa family. She feels trepidation about being named after such an important member of the family but perhaps because of it she has a deeper connection to the spirits than many other Shosuro members and was able to partake in the Shadow Weaver school instead of that of the infiltrators.<br><br>20. Death:<br>His death more likely than not will be an anonymous one performing her duty to the Scorpion clan and the empire taking on a mission that is deemed less than honorable and possibly disgraced but it is a death she would accept gladly so others don’t have to. That is of course if a duelist or shugenja from Isawa or anyone else who believes they have a grudge against her family cuts her down. <br>&nbsp;</div></div><br>&nbsp;<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Rings</strong></span>: Air3, Earth 1, Fire 2, Water 3, Void 1<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Skills</strong></span>: Courtesy 2, Performance 1, Culture 1 Theology 2, Fitness 1, Martial Arts [Melee] 2, Skullduggery 2<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Honor</strong></span>: 30<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Glory</strong></span>: 40<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Status</strong></span>: 35<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Endurance</strong></span>: 6<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Composure</strong></span>: 8<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Focus</strong></span>: 5<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Vigilance</strong></span>: 3<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Techniques</strong></span>: <br>Invocations: By the Light of the Lord Moon, Cloak of Night, Fukurokujin’s Wit<br>Shuji: Prey on the Weak<br>Rituals: Commune with Spirits<br>Kata:<br>Ninjutsu:<br>&nbsp;<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Advantages/Disadvantages</strong></span>: Subtle Observer, Blood Feud, Pot Stirrer, Isolation, Coming Storm (Political Alliances gone wrong, especially those related to political marriage)<br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Equipment</strong></span>: Wakizashi, 6 Shuriken, Concealed Armor, Sanctified Robes, 3 Vials of Poison, Opening and Closing kit,&nbsp; Butterfly sword 6 koku</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Image I'm thinking of using</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/uKBmij7.jpg)</div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333653.msg15912403#msg15912403">Quote from: Datawych on 08-07-2021, 08:22:16</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">First draft!

What is your character's relationship with their clan?<br><br>Kiyoko deeply respects the Crab clan's great sacrifice in protecting the rest of Rokugan, though she occasionally resents her position within the clan. People only really notice if she does her job <em>incorrectly</em>. (+5 Glory)<br><br>8. What does your character think of bushido?<br><br>"Fighting the creatures we do, it is easy to view Bushido as restrictive. Hampering. Shackles to be cast off. But when you see the taint of the shadowlands... you realize it's not. It's armor. But no one can wear armor all the time." (+1 Skulduggery)<br><br>Kiyoko thinks Bushido is a great ideal to strive for, but is somewhat disillusioned with it. It can lead to needless sacrifice; making the honorable choice, rather than the practical one.<br><br>9. What is your character's greatest accomplishment so far?<br><br>Ended a local trade dispute by showing up with several dozen cases of fine sake - just as the stock had run dry. The trade lane just barely reopened in time to get supplies to a starved-out part of the Kaiu wall. (Daikoku's Blessing)<br><br>10. What holds your character back the most in life?<br><br><em>Blackmailed By...</em> Someone who shouldn't know Kiyoko's family history has uncovered the story of Kio the Merchant, and is threatening to reveal everything.<br><br>11. What activity most makes your character feel at peace?<br><br>Generosity. Kiyoko has a rather strange relationship with money; she's used to handling it, and used to negotiating and making business deals. She views it only as a convenient medium to get the things she really wants. Investing in someone else's happiness is certainly a viable strategy - particularly if she needs the person's cooperation anyway.<br><br>12. What concern, fear, or foible troubles your character the most?<br><br>Imposter syndrome. Kiyoko has never truly 'felt like' a samurai. Her duty to the Crab clan is an important enough job to at least earn the respect of her Clanmates, but the Crab are a rough bunch. She can't help but feel like she doesn't belong amongst the nobility.<br><br>13. Who has your character learned the most from during their life?<br><br>Brewmaster Jin - a commoner in service at the castle where Kiyoko grew up. He was responsible for coordinating with local farmers and members of the Yasuki, turning rice and grains that would otherwise go to waste into sake and beer. With both her parents constantly busy, they were glad to have someone who seemed willing to watch her, which resulted in Kiyoko getting far more exposure to commoners than considered appropriate. Her speech patterns - and overall lack of disdain - have a way of putting commonfolk at ease. (Ebisu's Blessing)<br><br>14. What do people notice first upon encountering your character?<br><br>There's <em>just something</em> about Kiyoko's looks that don't say 'Yasuki' - or any Crab family, for that matter. Though it's now several generations removed, her common blood makes her look ever so slightly out of place to those paying close attention.<br><br>Kiyoko wears a string of beads (sometimes around her neck, sometimes around her wrist) made of unpolished blue jasper. (https://img5.cobeads.com/photos/9/8/9818611c-a23b-4863-9514-50c2e73dedc4.JPG) She has a habit of touching them or clacking them together when she's getting impatient, but she's realized this and occasionally does it out of nowhere to throw people off. Particularly during negotiations.<br><br>She carries an unusually large amount of bu and zeni, rather than koku. A single, carefully invested zeni is still far more valuable than a bag full of unused koku.<br><br>15. How does your character react to stressful situations?<br><br>Mild annoyances result in a slightly raised voice; Kiyoko isn't even consciously aware she's doing it. Shh isn't much for angry outbursts, though, and is far more likely to be frustrated to tears, or push a pessimistic mood onto everyone around her.<br><br>16. What are your character's preexisting relationships with other clans, families, organizations, and traditions?<br><br>Crane: As a member of the Yasuki, Kiyoko is <em>technically</em> barred from Crane lands. She's traveled through them in disguise before, either disguised as a laborer, or a member of another Crab family. She tries to give individual members a chance, but their reputation for haughtiness feels well-earned.<br><br>Dragon: Being from the opposite sides of the realm, Kiyoko has had little interaction with members of the Dragon clan, other than a few pleasantries with the Kitsuki while at court, and with travelling Togashi while on the road. They've all been different enough that Kiyoko doesn't have a good read on the Dragon clan overall.<br><br>Scorpion: Kiyoko feels an odd kinship with this clan; Kami Hida and Bayushi having both taken on undesirable, thankless jobs within Rokugani society. There are Scorpion samurai far more honorable than any Crane, and Crane samurai far more devious than any Scorpion. Crab lands and those of the Scorpion share a fairly large border, so Kiyoko has grown quite accustomed to dealing with them (particularly since routes through the Southern Crane Lands require her to lie or disguise herself), and is personally familiar with several jizamurai from the area. (+Concealed Armor)<br><br>Unicorn: Kiyoko maintains several amicable relationships with members if the Ide family. They're some of the best people to know if you're looking for exotic goods that can't easily be acquired in Rokugan. As a general rule, Kiyoko likes Unicorn bushi more than their Lion counterparts, but she resents that her own clan's military prowess seems to be often overlooked.<br><br>17. How would your character's parents describe them?<br><br>"Simultaneously friendly and aloof. She has a way of reading people even she doesn't understand." (+1 Sincerity)<br><br>Kiyoko doesn't have much of a relationship with her mother, a member of the Kuni. Her mother's studies left her emotionally unavailable; they talk occasionally, but have never been close.<br><br>Her father manages the acquisition and transportation of building materials (primarily wood and stone) in the north-western-most corner of the Crab lands.<br><br>18. Who was your character named to honor?<br><br>Kio the Merchant. Kiyoko's (great? great-great?) grandfather was a less-than-scrupulous merchant who effectively bought his own nobility. He made a generous donation of rice and building materials to the Crab clan, just when they needed it most. The Yasuki Daimyo elevated Kio to a samurai <br><br>Elevated for Service (+1 Skulduggery)<br><br>19. What is your character's personal name?<br><br>Yoko - she's ashamed to admit it, but it's because she's embarrassed by her ancestry, and it removes the part of her name that sounds like 'Kio'.<br><br>20. How should your character die?<br><br>With no more tricks, friends, or favors to fall back on, Kiyoko trades the one thing she has left in service of the Crab. Hopefully she gets a good deal for it.<br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333653.msg15913551#msg15913551">Quote from: RobyntheWitch on 09-07-2021, 09:13:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6e/07/bb/6e07bb6397230d46792d7b28a8bf3199.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Doji Makoto<br><strong>School:</strong> Kakita Duelist<br><strong>Status:</strong> 45<br><strong>Glory:</strong> 49<br><strong>Honor:</strong> 60<br><strong>Rings:</strong> Air 4, Earth 2, Fire 2, Water 1, Void 1<br><strong>Skills:</strong> +1 Courtesy, +1 Design, +1 Fitness, +1 Meditation, +1 Sentiment, +1 Skullduggery, +1 Martial Arts [Melee]<br><strong>Advantages:</strong> Dangerous Allure, Ambidexterity, Blessed Lineage<br><strong>Disadvantages:</strong> Overconfidence (Charm)<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The 20 Questions</div><div class="spoiler_body">1.)

As if she was meant to hold the blade, and this left a very strong impression on her teacher. <br>Advantage- Dangerous Allure<br><br>10.) Makoto is unfortunately a bit full of herself, and is extremely overconfident in her ability to grab attention.<br>Disadvantage- Overconfidence (Charm)<br><br>11.) Makoto has a passion for writing, often taking the chance to write within a little book she carries with her.<br>Passion- Wordplay (Air)<br><br>12.) Makoto has a lot on her shoulders, the honor of her family, the honor of her Lord and the duty that he set before her, the stress of her brothers disappearance. It all adds up fixing a lot of stress on her shoulders, her heart, and her mind. And because of this she's a bit of an alcoholic, needing to relax with a bottle of sake whenever she gets the chance.<br>Anxiety- Addiction [Sake] (Earth)<br><br>13.) Makoto had always been very close to her twin brother, they were two halves of a whole, soulmates. As they went through schooling of their different paths, they taught each other what they knew in secret, as they wanted the other to have any advantage they could. Because of this, Jin taught her to use his sword, and trained her how to use it in either hand, as using the left could be the difference between life and death. <br>Advantage- Ambidexterity (Air)<br><br><br>14.) Doji Makoto tries to set herself as looking the ideal crane, as she was a doji originally trained to be a courtier, she always tends to look impeccable. Even for someone looking to go to battle, as someone with poise and grace even in a situation that could be bloody can also unnerve their opponent. Her clothes are always well managed by her attendant, her hair well cared for, and makeup always set perfect on her face. Even then, she has something that is striking against the whites and blues of her clan colors, a string of red tied around her wrist on her left hand. Something that she wears in remembrance of her brother, hoping that with it the red string of fate will bring her to him.<br><br>15.) In stressful situations she tends to bring out the charm, but if the levels start escalating she will start getting colder with her tone and words, sharp even. And until she can get a chance to drink and detox from the situation, she would fiddle with the red string on her wrist.<br><br>16.) Makoto as a student of the Kakita, she is in rivalry with the Matsu family, and has made some enemies with prior encounters with them. It's like fate almost.<br><br>17.) "Driven, and at times intensely so, as if carrying the weigh of more than just the two it should be with her brother." (+1 Martial Arts [Melee])<br><br>Makoto has a very good relationship with her mother, her mother who wants to support her and let her know that she is not alone, hopefully take some of the stress off one of the only children she has left.<br><br>Makoto's relationship with her father is far more strained, he's placing so much of his desires upon her that he had for his son, and he knows this is likely going to cause their relationship to fall apart. And he wishes that he didn't, but he can't stop. She is now his legacy. Her success is and her failures are everything for the family. <br><br>18.) Makoto is named directly after the tenant of sincerity, as she was to be a courtier, and they hoped that she would live and breathe it.<br>Samurai Heritage- Imperial Heritage <br>Advantage- Blessed Lineage<br>+10 Status<br>(... I am amazed I rolled this, but now it explains the dad.)<br><br>19.) Makoto's personal name is Hikari. (Light)<br><br>20.) From the consequences of the true reason her brother left, at least knowing why... But does she finish her other duties...</div></div><br><br><br><strong>I DID A THING!</strong><br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>

				Second thought if you are finished with your character then feel free to move them over to the character thread. Sorry for that but figure it's just easier to do things that way. <br><br>The initial mission will be that your characters are gathered by Emerald Magistrate Yasuki Yun to provide support and protection for the Topaz Championship. Hantei XXXVIII, while not attending in person, will be sending a member of the royal family to attend and show support for the competition. Recent events have disrupted the tournament and naming ceremony so that this is the first to be held in nearly five years.

				Alright so a couple things. First I am hoping to start getting the first post up by Thursday night.<br><br>Second, does anyone have recommendations for a posting format? I am not the best with designing that sort of thing. Any ideas for what we should immediately keep track of from post to post and scene to scene.<br><br>Third, how do you want your characters coming together. Probably a good point to decide as a group if you want to know each other before hand or want to come into this as "new recruits" being sent on a job.

				Robyn and my characters might be passingly familiar with each other, due to the enmity between Carp and Crane (and due to geographical proximity, if Makoto's from the southern part of Crane's lands, though the Kakita dojo is in the northern ones).<br><br>Then as far as exposure goes, Scorpion will probably the great clan she's interacted with most, due to geography.<br><br>Crab lands are in the far south compared to Dragon's far north, so there probably wouldn't be a ton of familiarity there.<br><br>Same thing kinda goes for Unicorn, though Yoko would likely be familiar with a few of the Ide family due to trade, at the very least.

				Well, Hikari and Yoshi have a bit of a passing knowledge of each other. Nothing too formal I would say.<br><br>Everyone else... can't really say. Unless someone traveled to Dragon lands for a pilgrimage I doubt they would interact much with Hikari. Maybe some passing interaction with Makoto due to her family and school being rivals to the crane.

				&nbsp;So for Hikari.... <br><br>&nbsp;As mentioned, Hikari and Yosh know each other through a mutually enjoyed hobby of shibari, though Yoshi is more likely to be able to recognize Hikari than the other way around. As far as others go, Hikari hasn't traveled much outside of the Dragon Lands except as needed for her Daimyo's wishes. I don't see her having met many Scorpion or Crab and her family and school history with the Crane makes any interaction tenuous at best.
