Editing Hiruma Yasuji (section)

===HISTORY===
Your Family
Well, now, there's a sore subject.
You were bottom kid. Three older brothers
and one sister, and they all used to pick on
you. Not that you didn't fight back—but that's
usually when they left. Maybe that's why you
spent so much time with your father. He told
you how the Shadowlands had taken the
Hiruma holdings, destroyed the Hiruma Bushi
School, and scattered your people to the
winds. He told you your family had become
scouts who knew the Shadowlands better than
the fallen Moto, and could navigate a way
through the whirlpool of the mouth of Hell.
You realized early that this was nonsense.
Hiding and scouting would not help regain
your conquered lands. You decided to train
with the Hida, and at your gempukku went into
the Shadowlands to prove your worth on the
corpse of a monster.

Lucky you, you ran into a pack of marsh
trolls...and ran...and ran. You strung them out
until there was just one to face, but he walked
into the katana without feeling it and reached
for you with a clawed hand. You clawed back,
and you're not sure what happened next, but
you were standing, your hands hurt, and it was
dead. And you felt a presence—another
young, reckless bushi who felt proud of you.
Even if you did bend the katana a little.
While you were in school, Hiruma Kage
attempted his ill-fated retaking of Shiro
Hiruma. When you saw the defeated men
trudging back to the Wall, the simple solutions
you had believed in disappeared. There would
be no retaking of Hiruma Castle, not now.
Your Companions

To your disappointment, Father's katana,
Nisshoku, went to your brother. You had to
make do with the bent one. And for that stupid
reason, even after you killed a troll barehanded,
you were sent to some pacifist
Phoenix instead of serving on the Wall with
real bushi.

But it didn't turn out too bad. Isawa Ryoji
taught you more than you wanted about the
Shadowlands, and after a while you even got
used to the arrogant chatterbox.

And all the court-folk were so grateful when
you took out minor oni. Especially Ide
Masafumi. The poor guy's family was on the
line after some Akodo diplomat got struck with
a curse. (It was kinda funny, see, there was
this Unicorn's horse and some livestock,
and...never mind.)

Anyway, Ryoji found that it was actually one
of Mas's ex-lovers, Shinjo O-Niro, who was
working with the maho-tsukai to get back at
him. (You don't know what she was so upset
about. Masafumi said he'd write...) And the
Lion committed seppuku once the "your
dishonor, my dishonor" talk started so
Masafumi was riding the guilt wagon hard.
So Ryoji asked the Unicorn to show their
gratitude by giving him someone to handle
court folk, and Masafumi came onto the team.
He was pretty broken up at first, but you
reminded him it was because his girl was so
clumsy with her trail that you tracked down a
maho-tsukai who'd caused trouble all over
Rokugan. He lightened up after that.
Between you and Daidoji Kame, Ryoji's
bodyguard, you managed to keep the ponies
alive. Actually, you had more trouble with ronin
and small-town magistrates than oni. It was a
ronin who took your ear off. She was all,
"nyah, nyah, I drew first blood," which was
dumb, since evidently she thought you'd stop
at first blood.
