Sounds good, whichever you prefer. I'm happy to give it a try either way.
Awesome, I like that approach too. We all win if it's a good story regardless of which character is the victor. Doesn't mean I won't try, but I also won't betray the character concept if possible. Looking forward to building a cool story together!

I also built on a theme, sort of. More specifically I was trying to create a character I had written a story about.

Mind telling us about the backstory? Would help when I hand out secrets.

Not idle working on post

Looking forwards to it.

Exciting and intriguing! An oni and an oni hunter, can't wait to find out how this is going to go! Which side of the ancient battle will Lacy sympathize with, or maybe neither and Lacy represents a greater threat that brings ancient enemies together in a common struggle! Should be fun!

Yeah well I get the impression that lines are not clearly black and white -- and there maybe situations where a member of the Kurama Shin Clan works side-by-side with an Oni -- it is a world of intrigue and hidden-politics and power-balance and such

Maybe a Hasuba is trying to obtain the Ougi of an Oni -- I do not think that is something the Kurama Shin Clan would care to see happen anymore than the Bloodline of Oni

I do have a question though -- in many places its denoted as Ohgi and in others its denoted as Ougi -- I am assuming Ougi is correct as that literally means secret technique

I think it's just different romanizations of the long o from japanese to the english alphabet.

I agree, I think it's suppose to be quite grey and blurry lines to create many reason to team-up and/or switch allegiances mid-way thru to make it easy to come up with drama. We haven't even seen the mission and secrets yet, which will add a whole other layer! But I like the way things are shaping up.

To clarify on the Eight Warrior Monks.Essentially, the book leaves the specifics of each clan open to interpretation. If you want to elaborate on some elements that are relevant to your character, feel free to do so. Going to put up a post soon.

I feel like such an underachiever with my initial post, lol.

No such thing -- you posted what you posted and you posted it first ;)

Definitely don't need to think that ToDream. I agree with DeJoker. And there's something to be said about being concise and gradually revealing more about your character in brief snippets as we play. I felt like I got a good initial sense for your character from your post and clan history. I happened to have some extra time last week and really got into it, but I definitely don't put that much upfront time and effort into all my characters.

You're doing good ToDream. Looking forwards to learning more about the character together.

I'll volunteer to go first. The premise of my scene will be that Lacy heads to Telsa's research facility to look for the phoenix, but on her way she see another shinobi headed in the same direction. She follows them to investigate. I'll invite Sumomo to be that ninja, but if she declines, then Takezo, and if not then it'll be Minamoto.

Sure thing. One thing to note is that you can only make one roll per Drama Scene. So if you want to steal the Prize, you can't use the scene to also collect Secrets or Locations.

Yep, that's fine. I'll decide whether to rush ahead to try getting to the phoenix, follow and spy on the other for info, or interact with them for an emobond depending on who it is.

Quick question, how do you send DM only notes?
