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.

Cool beans. Let's rock.

"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.
