Ok, it's tradition in these games to do a character reveal when all is said and done. All is said and done, so if you have questions, comments, or concerns about Hida Musasha, this is where to ask, and I'll answer in as timely a manner as possible.

Character reveal eh? So, this is where we learn Musasha was a Kolat all along and once totally enjoyed some good shochu with some crazy maho using guy who could play a mean samisen and offered the Crab some "special herbs"?

All of those things, except replace good shochu with a tetsubo to the skull, and Kolat with hard core Crab.

Yes sir! Mr. Hard Core Crab, sir!

That's better, soldier. Now fall out and kick some tainted @ss!

wait...

does that mean you took the special herbs?

and are they still in your sea chest?

There's 4 bottles of hard core shochu in my sea chest, but no special herbs.

Well, I was the only one who survived wounding one of the asura. I am pleased with that

Killed a sailor too. Tomoe's kill count has risen! Yay! Still, Musasha got the most kills in the end. Darn it. Really wanted to start a competition with you but it was cut short...

Meh, no worries. Most of my characters get kills (though most often off camera in secret threads), if you're in a future game, you can try to outdo me.

Deal! I will make a scary angry Matsu with a big nodachi and plenty of kenjutsu and strength for extra damage. Heh... fun fun

I'll stick to Bayushi Bushi or Shinobi and will continue to lie, cheat, and steal kills left and right.

I saw a fun suggestion in another game. Play an investigator with super high perceived honour to appear as rank 10 honour but actually be a cheating, lying smuck who is "bad cop" - not just acting it. I think that would be fun.

"Look, I don't know what happened to the girl?! Please, let me go..."

*Draws wakizashi and shoves it down into the man's palm, pinning his hand in place to the table* "Tell me something a bit more than that* - *Uses sincerity (dishonesty) on allies* "Oh, don't worry. This technique is completely approved in the Kitsuki official questioning witnesses handbook!"

Percieved Honor has to be RP'd. You can't blatantly disregard it. It's like a cover persona, if it's flimsy, no one falls for it.

For a good example, look at the Akodo Daimyo that was also a Kolat Master.

Oh true. But stabbing a heimin suspect isn't a completely dishonourable thing ^^ . Agreed though. It is not a get out of bad card

It ain't proper to do your own torturing. You get an eta to do it for you. And torture isn't dishonorable, it's a fun pass time activity for the whole family.

What if it was just testing one's weapon?

Are you saying your Lord/Sensei/Parents would give you a subpar weapon?

Question for ya

Was there anything unusual about Musasha, or was he simply the Obtuse, Ass-kicking Crab he appeared to be?

He had Touch of Yumi Do, meaning his dreams were blessed and he slept like a baby anytime he bunked down. But because of this fact, the servants all thought he was being a lazy bum, (shown by his Cursed by Ebisu disadvantage.)

His other abilities are all him being the Obtuse, ass-kicking Crab he appeared to be:
Advantages:
Crab Hands
Daredevil
Touch of Yume Do

Disadvantages:
Can’t Lie
Obtuse
Ebisu’s Curse

Yes, why didn't you live long enough for me to sell you food!!?
