History

Origins:

Every world has its bully, every city has its thug, and every Samurai community has at least one Momotani Sakuichirou in it. He was the kind of boy who pulled wings off of butterflies, and then showed the bodies to the little girls, just to see them cry. He was the kind of boy who beat up his weaker peers, and laughed when they couldn't defend himself. He was the kind of young man who bragged about his skills, and had the power to back them up, and would kill or maim any who challenged him, even of his own House! It wasn't his upbringing, it wasn't his parents, it wasn't his Nobles (though his Noble Lord approved of this upbringing, believing that this sort of strength was quite proper for a Churo-class Samurai, which he hoped Sakuichirou would one day be worthy of becoming). This young man was just mean, born and bred. He developed a taste for women, Saké, and blood. And he never had the intelligence to know that there was a better way of doing things.

Present:

Today, he is the Churo-class for the House Shizuma, a neighboring province to that which houses Iiga Village. Despite his high rank, Sakuichirou has volunteered to work the borders between these two provinces; after all, how can he see blood if he is locked away in the Noble's Home?

Desires:

Blood. Saké. Combat. Death. Women. Blood. Saké. You get the point.

Fates:

When you tempt Karma in such a way, Fate cannot smile happily upon you.

Quote

You know you are an Evil Samurai when you are no longer surprised to your colleagues say things like "and then I stabbed him in the eye, ripped off his arm, and played a game of mumblety-peg." Worse, you were the other player in the game.

Note:

In all combat situations, until he has been dealt ten or more points of damage in any one attack, or has been damaged below fifty percent of his Hit Points, Sakuichirou will never use more than half of his attack or defense dice, rounded down. He is extremely overconfident, and moves with the kind of movements that say he believes his opponent has no chance of hurting him, so why bother exerting himself?

Nor will Sakuichirou kill unless his health has been brought down to less than fifty percent, or he has been truly humiliated or gravely insulted... or he'd planned to do it since before the situation started. He believes in letting his victims live, or at least one, so that they may tell the tale of his deeds.

In all Intelligence based rolls using things to do with strategy, perception, and the like, Sakuichirou uses his full dice. Anything else, such as common sense, wisdom, or proper etiquette concerning those of lower status, and he uses only ONE Intelligence dice. He's smart in the ways of combat, but dumb in the ways of nearly everything else.

If Sakuichirou has imbibed alcohol during this scene, all dice rolls that involve courage are rated at +3. All other dice rolls are rated at -3. This is cumulative with the all modifiers mentioned earlier.

Sakuichirou can never use Ki or Karma dice to increase rolls, unless stated otherwise by the ST in charge of the scene. His spiritual energy has been corrupted by his lifestyle, and Karma, after all he has done in his life, can never help him in a GOOD way.
