okay. Kami banished one of em that went evil. They thought he as destroyed forever, but he came back. A bunch of them fought him, etc. The kami were eventually all killed in their mortal form some way or another, but had by then created family lines, and had clans around them. The Mantis came about because of the Thunder Dragon, but he actually gave up his divinity to a man, because the guy was that freaking awesome. Daigotsu, the celestial and father of the Spider clan, is not a kami, just a man who ascended in power so much he became equal to the Kami.

Then Kali Ma happened, the destroyer, she came and tried to kill everyone, almost succeeded, was pushed back. Also the Khan betrayed the clans, so the Unicorn are not very trusted. At the end of it, they found that the portal through which many were coming from was in Scorpion territory, and so the Scorpion and the Crab worked together to build a wall around it and seal it off from the rest of Rokugan.

There's a bunch of really awesome, detailed story that is missing from that but yeah.

okay.

Now just read the clan rundowns.

I'm now dressed as a Shugenja of the Phoenix. What you think Hermes.

[Hermes]

Was just about to comment on it ;D You look like you might get...

Phoenix Clan - Fire - Samurai - Shugenja - Unique

xD

[Kaguya]

Well they where elementalists but I wanted to keep with fire, shiba where normally samurai where it was the Izawa that where the Shugenja, however, I though in a bind having a sword might be a good idea. XD

[Rosekitten]

@-@ yep lots of reading to do... depending on the pace of the rp i might be able to be in one of the clans .. that or some form of a freelance cameo character x'D should be interesting to say the least I don't think I've written much of anything during the described time period in the wiki :P

[Hermes]

Most of the Phoenix can use a sword, no worries =)

Rose, it will probably be a slow one, since there will be at least 9 of us. You can also be an unaligned Ronin.

[Rosekitten]

I'll probably do that... >w> just in the event i have to go missing i can do so lol xD

[Kaguya]

I'm trying to talk Reyoki into joining us.

I know they can, katana was a symbol of status in those days. =)

[Hermes]

Woo! Get her in here!

Alright, I gotta go folks. I'll be back tonight!

[Kaguya]

She is deciding the clan she wants so we got her ^u^b
Are you intending to bring in the blood sword angle Hermes?

[Rosekitten]

xD bye Hermes

~lost with the mention of blood sword angle~ xD i need to read like this whole wiki dont i LOL

[Kaguya]

There are twelve blood swords, they are kind of like enchanted items but all are cursed... such as the blood sword truth will actually make you admit the truth on things, the last owner admited to having intimate relations with a twelve year old boy and jumped to his death soon afterwards if I remember correctly.

Also is taint going to be involved?

[Rosekitten]

ah o.o

im going to have to keep a note pad just for family information xD lol

[Kaguya]

L5R is a lot more complex than the normal d20 system, but there is more fun in it.

[Rosekitten]

im sure xD once i understand it lol <3

[Kaguya]

Well you'll have a few of us that'll keep you right no worries.
