Meet the Live Cast

Here is the cast of the players and Characters that will be playing the live side on the Four Winds Saga Campaign. The online side will be described later.
The players will be displayed alphabetically, by their clans

Hida Ekutoru
A typical Crab: Big, strong and not even a bit subtle; but a nice guy none the less. He belongs to the military where he have a rank of "Nikutai" - a rank equivalent of a Corporal - and is in charge with a squad (10 people) of Crab soldiers. He also works for a Emerald Magistrate, a member of the Akodo Family of the Lion Clan.
Recently he and the rest of the Samurai employed by this magistrate went to Crab lands to deal with a series of murders that had taken places in the lands of a wealthy Yasuki Merchant; the plot became thicker when the group found out about the existence of a madmen monastery and the works of a Bog Hag. He committed sepukku as he chose the lesser of 2 evils and gave his life for the Empire. The Kamis rewarded him by giving him new life.

Kakita Kaoru
If Ekutoru is the typical Crab then Kaoru is the Typical Crane: Beautiful, well mannered and cold. She served a Magistrate within her clan, and was also at the service of the same Akodo Magistrate that employed Hida Ekutoru. She also went to the Yasuki lands to investigate the problems there and she came out of the monastery alive together with a Soshi Shugenja who she killed for being a maho (black magic) practitioner. In the end she was the only that survived in the group (Ekutoru died and was brought back), and was awarded when she arrived in Crane lands with a excellently crafted Katana.
Later, the Akodo Magistrate she worked for died and through the favor of a Crane Courtier she became an Emerald Magistrate herself

Shinta Moshibaru
Born a ronin, he lived in a small village near where Ekutoru and Kaoru brought peace by eliminating the cult of mad monks. When he was about to die, Shinta's father, Goshiro, asked Ekutoru to give the boy his father's swords so he could take on the path of the warrior; the first thing he did was to enter the Shadowlands and come back alive with 20 goblin heads. Having completed the 20 Gobin Winter he was admitted in the Moshibaru family, a vassal of the Hida

Tamori Fushinotori
A youung shugenja from the dragon clan. This is a ladies man and likes to train his body as well as his mind. However, he is to young to be telling tales about him. His 1st real assingment was to deliver a gift from his family to a Hida Lord in Kyuden Hida

Akodo Hayato
His father was the one that was the employer of Kaoru and Ekutoru. After his father's death everyone expected him to become the new Emerald Magistrate, but an influential Crane Courtier puled his strings and Kaoru was named Magistrate instead of him. This will surely bring harsh times between them.

Mirumoto Kaede
A young and proud member of the Dragon Clan. Her first assignment is to serve as a yojimbo (guardian) to Fushinotori's trip to Kyden Hida. He asked permission from her lord to challenge Hida Ekutoru, her brother in law, as a way to restore her family's honor due to Ekutoru misbehavior towards his wife, Kaede's older sister. She won the duel and caught the eye of Kaoru.
