Past Lives Thread

Post by Matsu Ishioka » Thu Aug 26, 2021 9:56 pm

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.

I (Drop it like it's Hutt on Discord) have been (including a couple of incompletes):
Hollow Throne - Kitsu Takashi (Dark Edge Village), Agasha Manami and Usagi Kimika (Spirit War)
Shifting Sands
Inari's Curse - Mirumoto Kirimiko (?)
Heresy of the Five Rings - Yasuki Takara (Shiro Kuni, Setsuban Festival?)
Vulpine Regime - Toritaka __ (TotEF), Matsu Yuuma (The Wall)

Noventa
Kamda - Azina Rayvis, (Kamda), Korvin Hikarrin (Bellionas)
Dune
Battletech - Bruun (Human Edge)
Ashford Fields - Reynard Goodbrook
Lion Clan * Bushi * "The Stone Matsu" * Few words, many thoughts * Isn't mad at you, but is disappointed

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:
Winter Court 4: Daidoji Soken
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).
Kobune: Daidoji Fuichi
Shifting Sands: If this was the early LBS games, then Bakari (the angriest Senpet) and Rahul el-Haffit (Mr. Hedonism).
Vulpine Regime - Asahina Kiriha(The Wall)
Return Era: Otomo Haruki (Equinox), Doji Kenshin(Serve and Protect)
Dawn of the Empire - Doji Kaze
New Winds -Bayushi Jiro
Kamda - Ters Tii, FX-12
Southron Ambitions: Willem Arryn

So people familiar with those characters know that Hajime's pretty on-brand.

This is also a fun one, and oddly enough I feel I'm both old and new to the community in these things XD

So!
Words cut like Steel (2007? :shock: ) - Kaiu Amano
In Times of War (2008 I think?) - Miya... something.
Return Era (didn't even know the Handle!): Equinox 824 - Usagi Naoki (Rest in pieces!)
Winter Court 3, 4, fan-run 5 -
Hollow Throne -
Koushi(Spirit),
Kobune:
Shifting Sands:
Vulpine Regime -
Southron Ambitions:
Inari's Curse -
Heresy of the Five Rings -
New Winds - Iuchi Prashant (to be Prashstan!)
Banner of the Stars - Suzume Shion (Asakaze)
Fire Shrimp Village - Ichiro Taiki
Tales of the Jewel - Faruq Al-Farhan
Kamda - Zimrzala Skalirz (Bellionas)

Dapper Wars - Fallen Order -
Noventa -

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!

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)
Imperial ❀ Shugenja ❀ Professional Dumbass ❀ Benten's Curse ❀ Sixth Sense ❀ Affect of Harmlessness
Glory: Reputable Status: Average Imperial Honor: Average Profile!
Carries: Fan, smol knife, wakizashi, finger of jade, divination kit!

Wears: Unsei often is seen wearing star-covered robes in shades of black, dark blues, and gold. In the center of their forehead is a small birthmark in the shape of a diamond/star, and they always wear a hat with a short veil and tassels on it. Their hair is kept in a long ponytail that reaches down to their ankles.
