Setsuo, Village Leader
Descrição
Setsuo is a lean, hardworking man with strong arms and a bent back. His greying hair, rough skin, and bright eyes make his age difficult to guess, though his son is barely a man, so Setsuo can’t be as old as he appears. Years of stooping in the rice paddies have taken their toll, though he is optimistic, lively, and genuinely fond of visitors and the news they might bring from the rest of Rokugan.
Setsuo has received more of an education than most peasants, sometime in his past. He tries to keep this hidden, but sometimes his knowledge of court politics, samurai etiquette, and geography can be surprising. If questioned, he’ll admit that he hasn’t spent his whole life in the village, as most have. As a youth, he left to live in Hirosaka, where he gained experience of things he won’t admit to. This isn’t a period of his life he likes to talk about, particularly within hearing of his son.
Setsuo is also cunning and willing to lie to the magistrate when taxes must be paid, in order for the village to prosper. He has lofty ideas, as though he questions his place in the Celestial Order, but he dislikes violence and would rather use his intellect than rebellion to improve his lot.
