The August Personages of the Scorpion Clan

Bayushi Ken'ichi - Clan Champion
The Scorpion champion seems to have been born for his position. Ken'ichi is a very handsome man in his mid twenties who does not wear a mask as per Scorpion tradition (a favorite saying of his is "Why hide what everyone knows?") and it has become somewhat of a 'trendy' fashion statement of other Scorpion in his court. Ken'ichi's attitude is very friendly and outgoing and has a knack for making friends fast. He has an intense drive to succeed, and there are those who speak of him (usually only once) as having found the perfect mask in using no mask at all. His only failing, if it may be called that, is a known fascination with Gaijin artifacts and culture.

Shosuro Natsumi
Quite possibly the only thing keeping Natsumi from being described as the most beautiful woman in Rokugan is the fact that her father was a Gaijin trader and she inherited a fair amount of Gaijin looks. More full figured, and taller, than most Rokugani women with a paler complexion and 'strange' (to other Rokugani) facial features. Natsumi is a force at court, able to melt the most surly samurai with a smile. But if the smile is insufficient, she is more than capable of using the katana she openly carries.

Yogo Nibori
One of the few Scorpion shugenja, and fewer still shugenja outside of the Phoenix lands to ride into battle, Nibori is the general of the Scorpion armies. Fiercely loyal to his nephew Ken'ichi, Nibori sees that the Scorpion war machine is ready to move at his nephew's whims and carry out whatever needs to be done. A tall six feet with a well muscled build, he is rarely seen without his mask carved of darkwood and inlayed with red enameled metal to look like a kabuki theatre oni's face and red enameled armor. Shunning court, Nibori instead spends his time in the study of tactics.

Bayushi Inari
Jushin. The Honorable Scorpion. No masks and no secrets, just honor. Inari is Ken’ichi’s youngest brother and somewhat of the family’s black sheep due to his insistence to follow the path of honor so few scorpion do. He is a talented investigator and an up and coming general, so much so that Nibori is personally training him. He seems to have an affinity for shugenja and utilizes them proficiently in his tactics.






Shosuro Tatsuachi
There is no one named Shosuro Tatsuachi in all of the Empire. You must be mistaken. Move along.
