1. what region does your character come from?
Texto
For a character who doesn’t fit into samurai society, the lands they hail from are as important to their identity as a clan is to a samurai. Even within Rokugan, the geography and character of the land can shift dramatically as soon as one passes over the next hill or crosses a hungry river. The place where a character has spent many years of their life imparts particular skills and may impress upon them certain inclinations regarding how to approach the world, both within and outside the environment to which the character is accostumed.
When you create a rōnin character, you choose a regional option that interests you. A character may be boldly colored by their experiences in this region, may care little for the area but remember its lessons, or may feel shame about their association with that location. You should take this opportunity to start thinking about what sort of childhood your character had and what major life events may have led them down the path they follow now.
