8. What does your character think of Bushidō?
Texto
All samurai are supposed to respect and venerate the Code of Bushidō, but some clans and families pay more attention to some tenets than others (see each clan’s particular view on Bushidō in their entries earlier in this chapter), and there are always a few samurai who refuse to believe in Bushidō at all. Does your character agree with their clan’s views, or does your character differ on certain points or even disregard certain elements of Bushidō? If your character’s belief in Bushidō is completely in alignment with their clan, what past experiences have reinforced it or renewed their faith in it? If your character has come to believe that Bushidō is flawed, or at least that most people are misguided in the way they practice it, what events drove them to this development?
Choose one of the following:
If your character’s belief in living by an orthodox interpretation of Bushidō is very staunch, gain +10 honor.
If your character diverges from some or all common beliefs about how samurai should behave honorably, gain 1 rank in one of the following skills to reflect past behavior that was unbefitting of a samurai or deeply defied the norm: Commerce, Labor, Medicine, Seafaring, Skulduggery, or Survival.
