Advantages:

Large:(3 Points) You are significantly larger than the average Rokugani, ranging in height from 6’0” to 6’3” in height. You gain a bonus of +1k0 to the total of all Damage Rolls for any large melee weapon. Crab characters may purchase this Advantage for 3 points. pg.151

Disadvantages:

Gaijin Name:(1 points) Either due to your lineage or your parents’ fascination with another culture, you possess a name that is clearly not of Rokugani origin. Although there is no honor loss for such a thing, others regard you questionably as a result. Your individual dice may only explode once on a Social Skill Roll (that is, each die has a maximum possible result of 20). This Disadvantage is worth 2 points to Unicorn characters. pg. 159

Social Disadvantage:(3 points) You have slipped from your position within the Celestial Order,and your place in society reflects that. You begin with Status Rank 0. pg. 162

A: I am a proud warrior… still not fully sure which one of those words is which.

4. How would others describe your appearance?

A: They call me Gaijin or Oni. I say I am Half-Orc but none listen to me. I am green which makes me stand out.

5. What is your primary motivation?

A: This is a foreign land, we came to this strange continent at the behest of a man from these lands who wanted our peoples help against a mighty demon. I have come to do my part and I will show these people how we half-orcs fight and craft.

6. Who is the person you trust most in the world?

9. What is your opinion of your clan?

A: The Crab clan is full of mighty warriors, strong humans that live to fight and fight to serve. They are great and I am proud to be a part of this glorious clan. They kinda remind me of Black-Claw.

10. Are you married? (Or arranged to be married?)

A: Yes. My wife’s name is Kaiu Vola Black-Claw. She was a fellow smith back home, so I told her one day that I wanted to marry her, she said no. I asked her if she would accept a challenge for her hand in marriage. The challenge was a smithing challenge to see who could make the best blade, I won.

11. Do you have any prejudices?

A: I don’t much care for elves… luckily Rukagon does not have any. If anyone asks why, it’s cuz their too dainty.

13. What are your favorite and least favorite things?

A: I’m gonna have to say meat… a good steak can make a bad day.. well not much better but I would have steak and that is always a good thing. Also I’m not too much fond of rice… I mean I will eat it and all but it’s not that flavorful.
