The year is 1123. For years, weak emperors have taken the throne, and they have left it weak, as well. The 39th Hantei has recently taken the throne, but there are no illusions as to his power. He is a mighty symbol, but his armies are barely more than needed to protect the imperial city, and he commands little respect in the courts. He is a figurehead. Meanwhile, noone truely holds the power in rokugan, and the clans, which have long been restrained by the emperor, now war openly among themselves, each of them seeking to gain power and control, perhaps, eventually, enough to be named Shogun, and pacify all of Rokugan with the will of heaven behind them. In the midst of this stands the town of Hiraizumi. It houses 685 families by the last count, and perhaps 200 other people; entertainers, vagrants, traveling merchants, the like, though the number fluctates with the season. The lord of Hiraizumi is Fujioiji-dono, a former lion general, the feared and respected Great Lance of the Kitsu. He has since renounced his clan name and now rules Hiraizumi as its daimyo. With him are 23 samurai families in his service. Some are former lions who renounced their names when he did, others ronin who have sworn their service to him, or those that serve him on the recommendation of their families, or to repay debts. You are one of those that serve the great Fuijoiji-dono, and Hirazumi is your home. You stand ready to protect it and to serve it, and you will likely have to, in these volitile times. What is this? A legend of the five rings game, using the beta put out by FFG. It'll be play by post but with a discord, where the rolling will, by nessesity take place. What's it about? The town of Hiraizumi, during a slightly alternate take on rokugani history which i call ‘sengoku rokugan,' being essentially the sengoku-jidai, but, you know, rokugan. The game will have a mix of town-centered, almost slice-of-life adventures, and dealing with the volitile going-ons of rokugan at large, defending the town from raids, convincing a neighboring lord to ally with you, or finding some way to drive a lion army away from your lands. When do i need to post my application? By januray 20th, my time. Include both your sheet and your 20 questions. Please, no long backstories or descriptions beyond that; it will be more than enough, i'm sure. I don't know anything about the beta or l5r That's fine. The beta is a beta, so we're all figuring it out, and not only have i mucked around with the setting, history-wise, the beta has also made some changes otherwise, so you don't need to know nearly as many clans, names, places, or story events as otherwise. What should i play? A ronin, preferably, or else someone with a really really really good reason to serve one. Where's that discord, then? Here. : https://discord.gg/PWqMae4
