4. How does your character stand out within their school?
Texto
Even in a training system as regulated as that of a dōjō, different students excel in different areas. Even a pair of twins from the same family attending the same school might differ in temperament, aptitude, or inclination.
Choose one of the following options and increase your ring rank by the specified amount:
Creativity, passion, or drive (+1 Fire Ring): Your character is recognized by their teachers and peers for their inventive ideas, their sincere love for the craft of their school, or their intense and irrepressible desire to succeed in their field. Their energy and enthusiasm inspire fellow students and galvanize rivals to put forth their best as well.
Grace, eloquence, or empathy (+1 Air Ring): Your character stands out in their school for their finesse, the refinement with which they express themself in social situations, or their sensitivity to the feelings of others. To other students, their successes often appear effortless, but the truth of the matter is that their innate attention to detail means that they work as hard as anyone else, if not harder.
Adaptability, friendliness, or awareness (+1
Water Ring): Your character’s willingness to roll with the punches, gregariousness, or understanding of their environment stands out among their peers. Your character tends not to get stuck in mental ruts the same way many people do, or at least they have ways to get out of them.
Thoroughness, patience, or calm (+1 Earth
Ring): Stoicism is a trait valued greatly in Rokugan, and your character bears challenges and hardships without complaint. Your character’s teachers might have come to rely upon them as an assistant instructor, while their peers are likely to see them as a source of wisdom and stability.
Self-awareness, insight, or mysticism (+1
Void Ring): At a certain point, all arts become a study of the universe, oneself, and the relationship between the two, and your character is more adept at seeing things within both than most of their peers are. They might even seem to have a supernatural sense of things, and to act based on hunches about what is to come in addition to possessing insight about their place in the wider universe.
