With lethal weapons and dangerous quickness, the samurai tears down his opponents one by one. You have spent many years in martial schools until your 16th birthday, the day when you become an adult. You slowly rank up in the military, your rank based on how well you are in battle and proof that you are worthy to climb a higher rank. You have to watch your friends die in battle, some honorably, while some shamefully. You get used to hatred and you can control it.
- Equipment: You will receive a longsword and a longbow with 20 arrows. You will also receive 25 gold pieces
You travel around the world to meet and duel famous duelists and soldiers. You soon become more famous, yet more hated because of the lives you stole.

Contacts
When meeting other soldiers, they may obey you only if you are a higher rank than them. You may borrow horses, mastiffs, and weapons from the military.
You were a brave and loyal samurai until the fall of your master. Your master may have died honorably while in battle, ran away, or got his powers stripped away by the feudal government. You, as his follower, will also get stripped of your powers, and now you no longer are a samurai. You take on normal life, working and playing, yet you still thirst for battle and revenge.
You serve a samurai with complete loyalty. You do whatever your master tells you to do, if your master is powerful, you will be powerful, too. You have to obey his rules and wishes, and you will be rewarded.
