Real name: Adam O'Hare
Character name: Tachibana Sanjûrô (was Kibagami Sanjuro, read storyline for more info)
Race: Human
Country/Shire/land of origin: Dewa Province, Northeast Japan
Family history (siblings? parents?): Born to the daimyo (warlord) Kibagami Zankuro and to an unknown prostitute as a mother, Zankuro took in Sanjuro only as fodder to his provincial army and not as a son. As Zankuro would frequent brothels and take in daughters of small fiefdoms as wives to ever increase his domain, Zankuro sired 29 other children, all males. Some of Sanjuro's brothers fight in Zankuro's army as high ranking generals, such as Zankuro's favorite and first son, Kibagami Ichiro. Other brothers vary in power in Zankuro's army, or not achieving any fame at all. Some of the brothers have taken a lust for money and have forsaken their warrior bloodline to become merchants. Others have gone insane with power, such as Kibagami Genjuro, who has been rumored to have killed his sword master for a scroll containing the ultimate sword technique. From this, It is rumored that the Kibagami bloodline is cursed.
Tribal/Clan/Religious affiliations, if any: Technically, Under bloodlines, Sanjuro fights under the Kibagami Clan crest, but due to increasing family competition, birthright legitimacy, and increasing gambling debt, Sanjuro was a Ronin (masterless samurai). Now exiled by the Kibagami clan, Sanjuro now fights under the surname "Tachibana". Like most Japanese, Sanjuro believes in a mix of Shintoism / Buddhism.
Class, if any (healer, berserker, ranger, etc.): Samurai/Gambler/drunken master
How you ended up with us: to escape the prejudice of his 29 other brothers and debt collection sharks, Sanjuro wonders the land looking for a second chance at life, to establish an honorable name in a new land, and if possible...... extract revenge by killing certain brothers who he has a grudge with, fighting his gambling addiction, and teaching people the glory of the strategic game of I-go.
Any super-interesting/traumatic events along the way: wrestled a bear for an apple.
Favorite weapon combo, or fighting specialty: single katana, double wakizashi, bow and arrow
Favorite Unit Tactic (Maneuver): support or artillery (arrows)
Training of Any Kind: none
Past Units: none
Recent History of Your Character: walking the land for way too long, Sanjuro decides to set a home in Aethenu in The Lands Between The Lands and finally decides to clear his name in this new land.
