[QUOTE="Kangaxx, post: 1811824, member: 18098"] Originally I passed this thread by because I already spend more time than I should on these boards. But after coming back and seeing all those d10 abilities, and thinking about it more, I just can't pass up the opportunity of playing in a Rokugan game. Hopefully there's still room for one more. So, in complete contradiction of my earlier statement about already spending too much time on the boards, here's the character I spent the last 2 hours thinking up: [B]Background:[/B] Shinjo Karage was an only child because his mother, originally Ide Tsuriko, died in childbirth. Karage's father, Shinjo Kenji, was a typical Unicorn, skilled as a warrior and scout, and most at home in a saddle riding across the plains. Karage, however, was never a typical Unicorn. He never felt at home riding with his father, and even at a young age, he imagined he could hear the voices of his Ide ancestors telling him he belonged in the courts. When he came of age, he went to Ide schools to train as a courtier. His father was disappointed, but hoped that he would grow bored there and return to his way of life. However, Kenji never got a chance to see if it would happen because he died in the plains outside of Otusan Uchi on the second day of thunder. Karage became distraught upon hearing of his father's final fate, and decided to become a scout in accordance with his father's last wishes. He spent a year as a scout patrolling near Shinomen Mori before his daimyo, recognizing his lack of ability and enthusiasm as a soldier, and his knack for both regarding politics, ordered him back to the Ide schools to better serve his clan. Recently he has completed his training and is eager for his first assignment as a true courtier. [B]Personality:[/B] Karage is very serious for his age, and determined to prove himself as an asset to his clan. However that determination comes from a deepseated guilt because he feels that he has never measured up to the Unicorn's, and especially his father's, standards. His highest aspiration is to remove the common idea of Unicorns as uncouth barbarians, and help them get the respect they in Rokugan's courts. However, in his heart, Karage has always felt out of place with most Unicorns, and he wishes they were more like the other clans. He's more at home with the intrigues of the empire than with his horse, and he feels that being that way is somehow against the nature of his heritage. Karage would have a level or 2 of ranger, and the rest in courtier. I'll hold off on worrying about the specific numbers until I know if he's approved. [/QUOTE]
