==Character Creation==

Characters from all the Great Clans (Crab, Crane, Dragon, Lion, Mantis, Phoenix, Scorpion, Unicorn) and Minor Clans (Badger, Bat, Dragonfly, Falcon, Fox, Hare, Monkey, Sparrow and Tortoise) will be welcomed, be they Bushi, Shugenja or Courtiers.**



* I have the Core Book, Emerald Empire, Enemies of the Empire, and Great Clans books, so any characters (with the exceptions mentioned below) from those are ok. I don't have Imperial Histories yet, so if you want something from that book, you may have to do a lot of typing to show everything about the character you want. Create characters as standard beginning characters with 40 points.

** No monks (including Ise Zumi and Henshin), ronin, Imperials families, spider clan, ninja or artisans, and no non-humans (such as Nezumi or Naga) please. On minor clans, treat the Badger and Falcon as vassal families of the Crab, Dragonfly as a vassal family of the Dragon, Fox as a vassal family of the Mantis, Bat, Hare and Sparrow as the Minor Clan Alliance, and Monkey and Tortoise as Imperial vassals (you can't play Toturi (who is still on the throne), Seppun, Miya or Otomo, but you can play Monkey or Tortoise if you wish). Minor Clan schools can be used, even where those minor clans are vassals of major clans. If you have a truly desperate need to play one of the banned roles listed above, let me know, and we may be able to work something out. I won't ban any advantages or disadvantages, but I reserve the right to change my mind if / when I read up on them when you create your characters (in other words, nothing springs to mind immediately that you shouldn't choose, but I'd have to look over them properly in case something seems too bad).
