Name: Kasuga Naosuko Clan: Tortoise Age: Middle aged, maybe? Role: Intelligence Gathering, Courtier-ing Biography: Kasuga Naosuko was born in space, on the Minor Clan Carrier Someisa to a pair of Tortoise 'merchants' who worked the Rokugani side of things. Young Sakura's upbringing was one of travel and adventure as the family traveled from place to place in their smuggling freighter. As a child, she saw the best and worst that the empire had to offer. Her first taste of stability was when she began her training on Rokugan Prime at the Tortoise clan's holdings near Otosan Uchi. Being so close to the Imperial Capitol, on the planet of her culture's birth has granted her a strong sense of what her clan seeks to protect. Upon her gempukku she took the name Naosu-ko. She has spent many years of her life living much like her parents did, never remaining in one place for long, doing the thankless work for the clan and empire.

Post by Shinwa on Apr 22, 2017 4:13:28 GMT 10
Name: Shinwa Clan: Ronin Age: 33 Role: Investigation, Melee combat. Biography: Unknown. You can't be a mysterious ronin if you're not being mysterious, after all. However, he seems to generally eschew modern technology given the primitive weapons he carries. Perhaps he is some sort of re-enactor or from some odd commune. Or maybe just really, really poor. He sees no need to answer your questions, and considers it his right as a ronin not to have to divulge his sordid past. Description: Long hair dark as a raven's wing, handsome face, and cool, appraising eyes. A long narrow scar mars his left cheek. Tall and fit, he watches the world around him with great restraint and calm, as if it were all playing out before him like some sort of elaborate kabuki created for his study. He finds it slightly amusing. He wears a gray and black gi with a white obi, overlain by a long brown trenchcoat. At his side, he carries his daisho. The katana he bears is magnificent, and looks like it might be hundreds and hundreds of years old. Picture:

Name: M'thack-kir/Kiru Clan: Burnt Crane (Phoenix, as far as the Nezumi are concerned) Age: If your character can legitimately discern Nezumi, lemme know. Role: Anti-scurvy generator, Tinker/Doctor, Eerily capable at everything Biography: This is hard to pin down for Nezumi - Kiru has a strong memory for a member of his species, but even then, particulars such as where he got his Koiso MkV radiant sidearm, or travel papers from the Phoenix are not worth keeping in mind to him. What you know: he is always near the ronin Shinwa, he is over protective of the obi he wears as a scarf as well as his laser pistol, broken things (AND people) suddenly seem to be fixed when he examines them, and he breaks out into impromptu tribal dance at 'interesting' moments. For a Nezumi, his enunciation of Rokugani is actually impressive, not that most people would give him such respect as to acknowledge this. A tiny rodent sometimes sticks its head out from the obi/scarf Kiru is wearing. Captain of the freighter The Warren, which is piloted by a meek but very handsome shugenja, Shiba Itsuki. Picture:

Post by Asahina Yozhiko on May 1, 2017 16:47:25 GMT 10
Name: Asahina Yozhiko Clan: Crane Age: Early 20s Role: Utility, Information, Security. Biography: Not much is known since she hasn't done anything big. She comes from status though and in her teens she was an It Girl. She grew over that by now. Someone way into obscure underground stuff, might have heard of her as a decent performer (she perfoms what would happen if Die Artwood, Yoshida Brothers and Amon Tobin had a gig together. She a DJ and a VJ.). She is a pacifist and known to not be shy about her views. Apart from that she is the garden variety of Asahina power-puff with tones of powder blue. Picture: As avatar.

Post by Ikoma Tamiyo on May 1, 2017 20:58:23 GMT 10
Name: Ikoma Tamiyo Clan: Lion Age: 19 Role: Pop Idol, PR, Model, Trendsetter Biography: Who doesn't know Ikoma Tamiyo? The beautiful R-Pop idol, fashion model and reality show star is a new and upcoming star and wildly popular. She is the Queen of Kawaii and Decora culture and while certainly riding the edge of what would be expected from a Lion, without a doubt her image is carefully crafted to get maximum approval ratings from most demographics under age 40. As usual for a R-Pop idol she is single and unmarried and does not 'date', though rumors sometimes hint at potential suitors (both men and women), but such speculation only increases her popularity. What is known of her past is that she comes from a rather pedestrian background, in a girl-next-door manner and made name as a fashion blogger and her first song was a smash hit coming out of nowhere. The rest is history as they say. Picture: Casting and musical style: Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

The Wake Angels
Name:
Shinjo Ketaan (VANGUARD) Clan: Unicorn Age: 26 Role:
Wake Angel Jouster Biography: The defacto frontman for the Wake Angel Squadron, Ketaan is a thin, pale wisp of a pilot with black hair slashed almost artfully with strips of silver. The way he steps carefully on land, seemingly having trouble keeping his balance, one would never guess at the unearthly grace with which he pilots his custom-painted starfighter, one of the top of the line models from the Unicorn shipyards. He is famous not only for his near-supernatural skill with the fighter, but for engaging in romances, courtly or otherwise, wherever possible, with little to no regard given to the gender, propriety, or marital status of his partner. While he nonetheless never seems to lack for willing partners, his appetites have gotten him into trouble more than once. Trouble narrowly dodged by playing off his fame. Everywhere he goes, the faint strains of music can be heard seeping from his ear comms, and he wears a strange silver-grey glove on his right hand that almost seems to move in the right light. Picture:Name: Moto Ariel (SKY-EYES) Clan:
Unicorn Age: 26 Role:
Wake Angel Star-Hopper Biography: The Shugenja of the Wake Angels, Ariel is either a tall Moto or a short bear, with the hair to match. He constantly wears a small, shy smile and a pair of metal-framed spectacles. He is easily embarrassed by those he does not know, and even more easily embarrassed by those he does, especially his fellow Angels. He is a very gentle man, though anyone looking at him can tell his immense strength at a glance, and he can move at shocking speed should the need call for it. He is known to be married to Koshuud Tai-Wen, the Engineer of the Wake Angels, which surprises many. Though their personalities could not be more different, there is a bond of true love between the Angels that no sword, no beast, no rival could hope to break. Ariel and Tai-Wen's marriage is central to and indicative of that bond. The soft-spoken man is a true priest of the kami, and with their aid the Angels are unmatched in speed. He eschews traditional priestly robes for pilot's jumpsuits, and wears a strange silver-grey glove on his right hand that almost seems to move in the right light. Picture:Name: Koshuud Tai-Wen (DAYBREAK) Clan:
Unicorn Age: 26 Role:
Wake Angel Gearhead Biography: If her husband seems a quiet man, it is easy to assume the cause is Tai-Wen using all the words that he doesn't bother with. The fiery engineer of the Wake Angels doesn't hesitate to speak her mind, especially in defense of her wing mates. She is a tall woman herself, height only enhanced by the weighty engineering boots she wears everywhere, and whether concealed in her belt, her jumpsuit, or her hair, she always has the right tool for the job. Tai-Wen is extremely protective of the Wake Angels and their ships, and does not hesitate to harangue anyone who threatens either of them, rank be damned. Her husband is quick to make apologies for her, which is good, considering that she never apologizes for anything. As she puts it, "You say what you say. Backtracking just because some deck-soft mudhopper gets in a snit is no way to live." She dons a belted leather apron over her clothes in all but the most formal settings, and wears a strange silver-grey glove on her right hand that almost seems to move in the right light. Picture:

Post by Mirumoto Nanashi on May 17, 2017 8:34:25 GMT 10
Name: Mirumoto Nanashi Clan: Dragon Age: 28 Role: Gunslinger Biography: Nanashi is a man with no name. He seems to travel from place to place without rhyme or reason. He is known for saving small backwater towns and taking on bandit gangs singlehandedly. He seems to keep to himself and has a thousand yard stare but if you need help he seems to just be there.
He has recently joined the crew of the Warren but seems very uncomfortable while not on the ground. He is still getting used to being part of a new team. When he is not busy brooding he can normally be found working on his motorcycle.
Lets hope your on the right end of his Twin Radiants.

Post by Heiwa Miumi on May 24, 2017 4:40:16 GMT 10
Well, it seems I am finally ready to give you something here as well. Without further ado: Name: Heiwa Miumi Clan: Dove Clan Age: 20 Role: Heiwa Advocate and/or Personal Assistant Biography: A somewhat recent addition to the staff taking care of media sensation Ikoma Tamiyo, she has been seen a few times in the background of reports and interviews, always looking weirdly surly with what is surely a great honour of a job to get for someone from a minor clan. The gossip press seems weirdly wary of her for reasons hard to ascertain, as her previous track record from before popping up next to Tamiyo seems to be mostly related to tedious-sounding administrative duties. Same gossip press tells odd stories, but offers no back-up. It seems she is just someone very boring who is good at very boring things.

Post by Asako Kokishin on May 25, 2017 2:27:04 GMT 10
Name: Asako Kokishin Clan: Phoenix Age: 31 Role: Asako Loremaster Biography:Asako Kokishin is a heavyset man with a persistent cough. Like many in his clan, he knows a little about everything, though that is about all he shares with the more traditional members of the Phoenix. He is an oddball because of his preference for the mundane instead of the spiritual vigor that his kin possess. Self-trained in medicine, he always offers to help the injured. He has extensive knowledge of surgery and performing it, but leaves the actual act to Chik'kan, his nezumi servant, as Rokugani still frown upon touching blood. While he doesn't handle the wounds himself, he nonetheless has a reputation as "the man with the rat surgeon", which many find off-putting until they meet the man and find him charming and friendly. Within court and during periods of rest, he is easygoing and quick to laugh. When there is work to be done, though, his humor fades and his serious side takes over. Picture: Name: Chik'kan Tribe: Burnt Crane Age: 27 Chik'kan is a nezumi of the Burnt Crane tribe and works as a "servant" (more like employee) of Asako Kokishin as a surgeon. Chik'kan is a Nezumi Rememberer, one of the rare Nezumi capable of learning and sharing history, which also enables Chik'kan to remember training in the medical sciences on behalf of the Asako. Chik'kan is particularly helpful where anatomical science is concerned, since nezumi are naturally immune to the taint, don't catch disease, and have naturally clean hands. Chik'kan has brown fur and long, nimble fingers, plus eyes closer to its nose than most nezumi. Chik'kan's eyes stay focused on their target and don't scramble around looking for objects of interest like most nezumi's. Chik'kan is a relative of M'thack-kir, though how close they are neither of them are sure of.
