Right, we have the company names now. Thanks for those. Nice sounding names.
Now we need some squad names for each. We were asked to come up with these afterall. I nominate this thread to discuss them, though additional threads may be necessary considering the number of squads. It may be best to discuss each company's squads in different threads. What do you all think?
I would like to discuss the north (bushi/fighting) company primarily in this thread therefore.
We have 4 squads. So as of the time of writing we have...
Suzaku Company of the South
Toku Shokami - Chui (Contender)
Kitsuki Masakaze - Gunso
Kakita Miki - Nikutai
Mirumoto Asahi - Hohei
Yoritomo Amano - Hohei
Yoritomo Virendra - Hohei
Who is whose nikutai? Who is in each squad? What does each squad do? Perhaps a cavalary squad, a light infantry/archery squad, a heavy and medium infantry squad and a reserve or assault squad with specialists - e.g. Siege engineers, polearm masters, tacticians? A squad that guards the chui and taisa? Discuss! I think it might be nice for Bob to use these discussions to finalise matters.
I have a few suggestions for Masakaze's squad.
Erinuki - Elite/the very best
Seikou - Success
Chousen - Defiant
Yousai - Fortress
Osorezu - No fear
Something like this would be fitting I reckon! Badass squad go ^_-

That's cool, but it needs a proper name Amano. Which company is yours in? And why don't you have gunso then?  |

I'm also Suzaku company, but am Gunso. Plenty of Gunso it seems!

Well, are there any names you feel your squad should have Heisuke?

"The Rainbow Poptart Cat" company, but jokes aside, not really no.

I could fit in any squad, as my military role would either be yojimbo to the gunso, or some sort of skirmisher/mobile squad. I don't have any real specific role to play on the battlefield except finding enemy officers and murdering them in duels.

Mmmm, we should talk Miki. I am thinking of doing a shock/mobile squad as my niche. |

But yeah... a lion commander would be such delicious irony. By all means... talk to evil bob. I'll be Nikutai to whoever I'm assigned; since I don't know how we are determining this... |

I will probably the South company, if one is needed. It would just require the moving of points about.

The fluff can always be pushed even further: constellations have names for their specific mansions, 7 per constellation. Check wiki.
For Genbu it is:Dipper, Ox, Girl, Emptiness, Rooftop, Encampment, Wall. But since we only have one squad, I\'d go with Snake Squad, since it\'s the other animal depicted on Genbu motif.
And I\'d call my sub-squad Snake Eyes.

Changed the topic name, since the content of this thread seems specific to South Company.
There are four companies in South Company that the PCs can join.
You should figure out which Gunso command which squad and who assists each Gunso.
Not all Squads will have a PC Gunso and Nikutai, so don't worry if not all the squads have one when we start the game. Assume there is an NPC that takes those ranks.
After you figure out who is in charge of what, the Hohei (Privates, or rank and file) can choose which Gunso they serve and come up with a proper name/banner ect...
Edit: Or do it the opposite way, where like minded Hohei get together and say "Hey, lets all be in a squad." Then they name the squad and a Gunso is assigned later. Whichever you like.
