Intro: The Emerald Empire is another part of the Earthdawn univerise (at least in our campaign) that is based on asian themes. For example, some new classes include shinto priest, monk, samurai, and all the various martial arts styles.
The culture is clan based and there is a strong sence of duty and honor. One way to look at it is Legend of the Five Rings, Hong Kong action movies meets Earthdawn.



Hi Chocola here. These are the characters. My personal favorite is Sojiro. He is SOOOOOOOOO cute. But that Saito he scares me with all that I kill you stuff.

The characters:


Saito: Eldest of the four. Strong in both mind and body. Desperately trying to get into the Shinsen Gumi. They are a form of internal police. A man who lives by the sword and will die by the sword.


Sojiro: Second oldest. His strength is in his quickness. His main goal is to become an assassin. Believes in the philosophy the weak die, the strong live. The only emotion that Sojiro is capable of showing is just a smile.

Aoshi Now back to his old name Taco(ma): His strength is also in his quickness. But a lack of focus on what he wants to be is causing him to fall behind his friends. His total lack of honor in an honor bound society will ultimately be his undoing. Lacking in any kind of techniques will leave him open for attack to his MANY enemies. After much debate, Aoshi's name will be changed back to his original name Taco(ma).

The picture best represents Taco(ma) as his other name Danger Mouse. The ghost next to his picture......well let's just say that he angered a spirit.


Tai Chi Man (Locke): The best all around character of the group. Skilled in the sword and fist he is able to quickly adapt to any situation. Also he is starting to develop his internal energy skills. Once mastered, he could become a force to be feared.


Anza: A mysterous man that just came into town. He seems to be on a personal mission. Tends to keep to himself. The only one to score 100% during the Rites of Initiation. Seems to offer more than he shows. Still looking for a picture for Anza.

-note: Everyone is 16 years or younger
To get a better understanding of these characters please check any Ruroni Kenshin web page. I will provide a link to one later.


OHHHHHHHH that Anza, a little scary, but OHHHHH so handsome!!


Important update on Taco(ma) it is sad for me to report that the stress of having a ghost haunting him was to great and he decided to stay in his martial arts dojo until further notice.

You ask why he has a ghost? Well, if you all remember Sojiro saved his life on an illfated mission. Well when they got back home Taco(ma) was presented a deal with the Shadow Hunters to rat on his home, family and friends. He took it as long as he would be spared jail.

Combined with what Sojiro thought as two betrails and after hearing a lot of rumers about what happens to people caught by the Shadow Hunters, Sojiro prepaired a ritual to come back as a ghost.

After killing himself, Sojiro took steps to make Taco(ma) pay for what he did. Before all his plans could come to fruit, Taco(ma) went into hiding and is now still there. (But don't worry the ghost of Sojiro is aware of what is going on and he is moving on to bigger and better things until the time is right of course. hehehehehheh
