• 2. What family does your character belong to? Asahina (+1 Void, +1 Aesthetic, +1 Theology, 40 Glory, Starting Wealth: 6 koku)

Part 2: Role & School

• 3. What is your character's school, and what roles does that school fall into? Asahina Artificer Schhol (Shugenja • Artisan) (+1 Air, +1 Fire, +1 Aesthetics, +1 Courtesy, +1 Design, 50 Honor)
  • Techniques Available: Invocations, Rituals, Shūji
  • Starting Invocations: Armor of Radiance (Fire 1) • Inari's Blessing (Water 1) • Token of Memory (Air 1)
  • Starting RItuals: Commune with Spirits • Cleansing Rite

  • Starting Outfit: Sanctified robes, wakizashi, knife, yumi, quiver of arrows, scroll satchel, traveling pack
• 4. How does your character stand out within their school? Insight (+1 Void)
  • Hanako has a reputation as a focused, somewhat reclusive artisan, even within the Asahina school. Those who pay attention recognize that for all her retiring nature, she is capable of stunning insights into the ways that creating physical vessels for the magic they are teaching her mix and mingle. She is widely regarded as intuitive, and concerned with craftsmanship as more than merely a place that "stores" magic.

Part 3: Honor & Glory

• 5. Who is your lord and what is your character's duty to them? (Giri)
• 6. What does your character long for, and how might this impede their duty? (Ninjō) I wish to be recognized as an artisan worthy of great renown, to take my place among the lauded masters.
  • Hanako seems to have always had an unswerving faith in the idea that she will be lauded as one of the fine craftsman masters of history. She clearly feels that it's only a matter of time.
• 7. What is your character's relationship with their clan? (+1 Smithing)
  • Hanako believes that personal refinement is secondary to the refinement of what one creates. People are not art – their highest calling should be the creation of something, and useless people who do nothing more than talk should not be held in highest esteem. (She is, of course, aware of how others regard her for that opinion, and learned early on not to express it too loudly or often.)
• 8. What does your character think of bushidō? I find the insistence on people throwing themselves into danger absurd.

  • Blessed Lineage (Distinction): xxx
• 10. What holds your character back the most in life? I have a reputation for not just being cowardly, but for holding the courageous in some contempt.
