You are a graduate of the Imperial Golden-Tail Academy, a kitsune-run school that trains Kamigawa's best Samurai. You are well respected and expected to uphold the law of the Empire and balance between mortals and kami.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, plus one of your choice from History, Intimidation, Insight, or Persuasion.
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, vehicles (land)
- Equipment: An insignia of rank (usually attached to or incorporated into your weapon hilt), a gaming set (one of your choice), a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.
You have an established place in the hierarchy of the Empire. You can requisition simple equipment for temporary use, and you can gain access to any Imperial outpost in Kamigawa, where you can rest in safety and receive the attention of medics. You are also paid a salary of 1 gp per week, which, combined with free lodging in an outpost, enables you to maintain a poor lifestyle between adventures.
