Sakae, Dedicated Ashigaru
Descrição
The child of a humble farmer, Sakae was conscripted into a Great Clan army at an early age. Despite their inexperience, Sakae showed unexpected skill on the battlefield and lived long enough to develop the courage and cleverness associated with samurai. They became part of an ashigaru force garrisoned along the border between two clans. After a long period of service as a spear ashigaru, they were promoted to kachigashira, or infantry leader. They have served their clan with distinction ever since, engaging their opponents with direct, unflinching violence in several prominent battles.
Earlier in their career, Sakae had accepted their new life, but when they learned that their younger brother Ryota had been captured in a raid by an opposing clan, they were conflicted about whether they should return to support their aging parents. Sakae finally decided that fighting for the clan would raise their family’s standing more than begging permission to return to their village. Sakae’s focus has made them an incredibly capable soldier, well known and highly respected. Solidly built thanks to a steady ration of rice, they have a kind face that immediately hardens into fierce determination as they prepare for battle.
