Kyuden Shika

Well, folks, I finally cracked and I'm making one of these threads. They used to be a regular feature of Fallenash games when I started (apparently in 2015, I was reminded today), and have seemed to kind of disappear. I think because more of us are on Discord and it's easy to ask on there "Wait, who were you at..." But, both because it's good to include our friends who aren't on the same Discord servers AND because it's just fun - for me at least - to be amazed at all of the memories that have been facilitated by this great community, I will present my character contributions to the FA community. Special thanks to FallenStar for compiling most of this list of games; even greater thanks to the GMs (including FallenStar) who've run these fun games.

Just had one of these experiences with our kindly neighborhood gm, and while some players (Yasu) can spot me from a mile away, it is always fun to reminisce.

I was:

Hollow Throne - Kakita Asamura (until the miai), Doji Tsumeru (SH), Kakita Akinori(Sh), Doji Moroi(Second half of miai), Kaiu Totoro(KA), Doji Koushi(Spirit), Kakita Masahiko (the Megacrane).

I've also played in some games that I think happened between In Time of War (2008?) and Equinox 824 (2013), but I can't for the life of me remember their names. I think I've asked around about them a few times and I'm and still not sure XD I was an Ichiro in one of those that took place, I think, in a Minor Clan court of some sort. Can't remember the name and the files are lost to the void.

Been in some Five Rings Online as well - I think 5 and 6, maybe? - as an Ikoma (Akodo trained) scout of sorts and a Shiba Bushi. Not even sure if FRO is still a thing BTW! Or if any folks here played in them. Have you? XD

Also - for those who were around in the AEG Forums before the great doom(TM) - I was Ikoma Chiyago there. Hint to my real name

EDIT: Just remembered there was also a Winter Court game of some sort (not the "official" ones!) in which I played a Kitsune (Mantis Clan)... Can't remember which game it was either!

In a Time of War
- Moto Tara

Hollow Throne
- Seppun Shoukan (Yurei Mura)
- Seppun Horonigai, a.k.a. hornigai (Kyuden Suzume; Spirit War)

New Winds

I’ve also played as Daigotsu Kunshu at Rokugan High School and a Mindshred creepy game after In a Time of War with a Mirumoto (or Kakita) Yasashii, if I am not mistaken. Also a ronin at a Kyuden Suzume game before HT.

Think they were all naishou games, but I was Shosuro Shiitake (think it was a winter court? The pathetic scorpion baby) and Hida Jiaying (the dojo one. I was the crab that got kicked out)

Good fortunes...

I don't think that is half and many were returners for 2 or more games.
