Once Upon A Time In Japan
- BattleGrounds
Introduction
- The party have just come of age and before they leave their homes to become wandering adventures, join a school, sign up as a Samurai, or are forced to get married and join the family firms etc. The local [Ujiko] (Kami Society) have chosen the party to take part in the Himachi (Watching the Dawn) at the Boundary Kami's rock.
- all the party members know each other. They come from the same small village called TegaVillage in MimasakaProvince of Southern Honshu Island.
- [Ujiko] and Himachi tend to be status free but that does not mean respect free, it is one of the few places where castes do interact. As Sake tends to be drunk it is also a time where lower castes can ask their betters for favours without reproach and high class individuals did not have to worry so much about their appearance.
- [Ujiko] are all the local families of whatever caste that claim direct descendants from a [Ujigami] (Clan Kami) of a locale. Hence all the party are /nominally related/ but this is really only because there families come from the same village.
Characters
Creation Rules
- I am going to allow the PCs to come from the [Buke] (Armed Aristocrat, [Samurai], [Ronin] etal) and the [Heimin (Commoners)] but not the other castes of [Kuge (Nobles)] or [Hinin (non-persons)]. We will be rolling on the birth status with d80+5 rather than the normal d100.
- As for character types - I am going to allow a range of types which I will fudge into Bushido system.
