Hey, guys. You know that alternative we were discussing a few weeks ago?
The plotbunny just bit. Get ready to saddle up, partners. The genre shift is coming.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."

I believe a more genre-appropriate statement would be: "Let's ride."
It'll take me a few weeks to get everything hammered into a good form for play. I'm studying for a certification exam this week.

Appearance:
A tall but thin man who hides himself under a wide-brimmed Ronin's straw hat. His hair is short and black, and his face is marked with stubble. Kimono of a patchworky nature dangles around him, and a bottle of sake hangs from his side, symbolizing his status as ronin. Slung across his back is a massive No-Dachi, probably able to cut a horse and rider in half with one swing like the legends say. He's handsome, in a roguish way rather than a beautiful one.
Backstory:
Shin is a man without a past. He carries with him a tale of a lost family, of a scarred demon who stole his life and drove him down a vengeful path, and of just how far a samurai is permitted to fall before that Samurai becomes something less than a man.
