[QUOTE="Bayushi_seikuro, post: 8957669, member: 7024851"] I love this. Scorpions especially in L5R are almost set up to be caught in impossible loyalty situations. A long time ago, I was in a pre-Clan War L5R campaign as a Scorpion. We were on a quest to craft a weapon and one of the steps knocked us into sleep for years. We woke up, post-Coup, and the hostility towards my PC was pretty severe in the group. Following weekend, I was at Gencon and happened to drink with John Wick. In my home campaign, my character was a student of his infamous NPC, 'the Honest Scorpion' Bayushi Yojiro. I brought up my dilemma from back home, and he gave me some amazing in-character advice. He basically said, "You have to accept you are the only person strong enough to save the Empire." It was amazing the world shift I felt for my character, and it really was one of the first times in gaming I felt a dramatic shift in my PC like that. I came home and took charge and we did save the Empire eventually. Seikuro even got to marry his pretty Kakita duelist - the tragedy was, in the end, he could never die as the Obsidian Hand took him over. Love the thought you have going into this. [/QUOTE]
