Black Tortoises Unite! (Genbu)

[Soshi Karoshi]

*scoffs*  I am no mere Rank and File legionaire.

I am an adivsor to our esteemed superiors. (And the solver of the occassional murder-mystery whenever the Scorpion throw a dinner party )

Ok, let me rephrase: are you going to remain unburdened by externally defined, formally embedded responsibilities of being an officer?

[Shosuro Zhelazo]

I imagine Miki would be a rather unpleasant opponent; at least.. I would hope so...

I want to save this focus roll and use it in my first duel.

PLEASE?

I have not see a cut of it's equal.
Perhaps Miki-san will offer this humble one lessons?

I will never get that lucky in game, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

OOC: My killer roll is not with such a blade, but another, sharper instrument.

IC:  My mother, bless her black and lurid soul, always said we make our own luck.
But that is a topic for Theology. Perhaps, when the game starts, you will walk with me while we discuss  such things.

Uh, yeah, I'm going to have to come back to you at this one later. My brain isn't working enough right now to give a coherent answer.
In short, I can just say: no, Yasuko is not (and currently have no plans) to aspire to be an officer.

Unburdened, I rather like that.

[Shinjo Shu]

Well, perhaps Shu and I should duel and see who best ought represent the courtiers in a duel.
What does Shu say?

If that's what you want. 

[Evil Bob]

Lets define the duties of this unit a bit more before we say what we can and cannot do.  There are many responsibilities.

1. To come up with political advice on the nature of future actions, including conflicts and battles.
2. To dispute rules of engagement with honorable allies, negotiate cease fires and negotiate surrenders (from the enemy, of course)
3. To make commanders and officers look totally bad ass when they have a good looking, capable staff with them (lawyers all wear suits for a reason, courtier all look good for the same)
4. To make sure the legion itself follows it's rules and regulations and fights honorably (they can record the actions, but not punish, they can only advise the officers to do so.  They can investigate, though)
5. To record the struggles and triumphs of the Legion for the Imperial Record and for kick ass stories to be told at Winter Courts.

They also have the same duties as all legionaries: Protect the Empire from threats to it.  Protect the reputation and glory of the Empress.  Protect the Legion, and defeat all enemies.

So please follow these guidelines.  If you have anything to add to this, please feel free to make suggestion.
Thanks!

[Shinjo Shu]

I should also mention being a Shinjo bushi I have some pretty fly defense skills and techs, so I can fill the role of yojimbo as well.....

[Soshi Karoshi]

Ok, we'll make our bosses look like this:

Luck has nothing to do with it when you're rolling 10k8+6

That's right NON-combatants. We are the bards, the side kicks, the moral support and compasses, and the advice givers. Granted does not mean we cannot steal our own spot lights. Sure we are not the Samuel L "Mother Fucker" Jackson Bad Ass but we are the Morgan "Narrate You to Death" Freeman Corps

I am pretty good at 2
I am ok at all the others, but I have no Battle Skill.

I am a Scorpion. so I can also do 6: Dishonorable Dirty work.
The Legion never needs anyone to do 6.

6 is accidental.*

"When i first Met Akodo Dakishimeru-gunso, I had a strange feeling that he would be important. I had always believed in a higher power, moving us, perhaps like shogi-pieces on a board...."

[Kitsuki Masakaze]

This thread is amusing too. I think your company will have a lot of fun!

Also, Miki, your iai is sick! I think Masakaze may make you a champion even though they're a bushi "err... i didn't study iaijutsu. My nikutai did. Duel her! *coughs*"
