Results:

Class Feature: Blade's Spirit. Once per session, they can pour their spirit into a single, devastating strike, adding their Honour score to the damage roll.

Ryo: 20

HP: 16

Virtues: 1

Equipment: Empty Handed + Random Unseen Text: Burning Blade. Ignite your weapon, dealing an extra d4 damage with each hit for d6 rounds.

Awful Affliction: Paranoid

Terrible Traits (aka Bad Habits? Didn't see a Terrible Traits table): Always losing important items.

Grim Chronicles: Have made a deal with a malevolent entity that is slowly taking over your mind and body.

Broken Bodies: Missing a limb, using a makeshift prosthesis.

Honour: 16

Edit: I absolutely LOVE the idea of playing swordsman with only one arm, who has made a deal with a demon, who always loses important things, and is paranoid (probably about that demon, and if he left something behind). I think I'm empty-handed because the important thing I had was left somewhere.

I noticed your instructions don't give directions regarding weapons or armor. Should we all assume we start with a basic weapon?

Looks like we've settled on the classes. I was still going to offer anyone else a further swap for any of the remaining classes if they wish. So if anyone wants to, go for it.

That said, it looks like we've also started on the rest of the rolls, so go ahead and roll up! We'll need a character sheet! I'm okay with a bunch of text, or I (or someone can offer) to make a fancier one. :)

All your classes come with weapon and armour (some don't start with armour), so you don't have to roll for it. The weapon and armour tables are for custom characters.

Don't forget your stats aren't the number you rolled, you'll need to use this table to determine the actual stat:

1-4 -3
5-6 -2
7-8 -1
9-12 0
13-14 +1
15-16 +2
17-20 +3

So Jiggedy40, your hp is Resilience + d8, which gives you 0+8=8. And my bad, 'Terrible Traits' is from Mork Borg, I meant Bad Habits!

Can we reroll attributes if we have nothing with +1 ? Otherwise it's fine, it still fun to play an anemic character; a clumsy useless girl someone powerful want to kill. :)

I want to say let's see what everyone rolls first before I decide?

Part of the thing about OSR and also Borg games is that characters may differ in power wildly, as opposed to a more balanced character creation (eg D&D point buy ensures everyone starts exactly the same).

Notice also each class has different bonuses to their rolls, which aren't equal, eg the Ronin, Shinobi and Saint will have better stat rolls, the Bakuto will have weaker ones.

That said, let me see if anyone really ends up with terrible rolls, if so we can fix that.

Haha you're a kleptomaniac and I'm a paranoid swordsman who always forgets things. Looks like I'll be blaming you for all the times I leave my valuable stuff somewhere.

Here we go:

Swiftness: 0
Spirit: -1
Vigor: +1
Resilience: 0

Class Feature: Chanko Power
Virtues: 2
HP: 10 (corrected after rolling this wrong after seeing Bedzonell's explanation)
Ryo: 60 (corrected, also rolled wrong)
Equipment: Empty handed and Silver Talisman

Broken Bodies (19): Recently Blinded or suffering from vision problems (I'll roll with this as missing an eye, ok GM?)
Grim Chronicles (14): Haunted by a dark secret (OoOoOoO!)
Bad Habits (9): Terrible Memory, often forgetful
Awful Afflictions (1): Paranoid (Since Jiggidy got this also, I'm going to swap this for Hedonistic, unless anyone objects)

Honor: 9

Ok, a one-eyed forgetful sumo wrestler harboring a dark secret while wearing a silver talisman to ward off evil spirits, and using worldly pleasures to dull the pain of the swiftly approaching end of the world.

Got it.
