If you're looking forward RPing as a Samurai here's a thread listing who has done it before you or is going to. Check what it says to make sure you can make an original character without accidentally copying their style.

For people posting here:
Please try and follow this model.

- Name
- Model (race, gender, face model)
- Link to Profile (if you have one in Characters section)
- In which part of RP will you be a Samurai (use expansions names for an approximate landmark, or ‘occasionally’ if you plan to switch job often, or ‘retired’ if you don't plan to use the job again any soon)
- Type of attendance (regular, cameo, side-character)
- Story of your job in a briefing (How did your character become a Samurai and what has he done as a SAM since before meeting the group IC. Be brief and save details for the Profile section)
- As a Samurai in the RP group (write what have you done with the group IC that would have to do with your job.)
- What will you do in the future (write little spoilers of plans regarding your job so that others know and won't anticipate you.)
- Appearance (describe the standard look of your character, or post pics)


For the readers:
If you find some of the needed informations are missing, please try and contact the specific character in-game for details. ^^

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

Name: Zetireti

Model: Tarutaru M 7B

Link to Profile: None.

In which part of RP will you be a Samurai: Permanent?

Type of attendance: Cameo.

Story of your job in a briefing: Zetireti joined the Tenshodo and trained as a Samurai with Kenjii and Cire in Norg, after he left Windurst because of his lack in magic arts.

As a Samurai in the RP group: Zetireti has supported the group with his samurai skills through many difficult missions, including Bastok (Where, with Kenjii, he retrieves the lost Myochin Kabuto), Windurst missions, and Rise of the Zilart. Though, after some time he realized that his power wouldn't go beyond a certain point, and so decided to stop in Windurst for the time being. The Federation finally recognized him as a hero, and Zetireti feels like he could call that nation home again.

What will you do in the future: Unknown.

Appearance: Varies. Zetireti would either use an haubergeon or his full Myochin armor. He does seem to never leave his Kabuto home though.

Name: Kenjii

Model: Hume M 1B

Link to Profile: Click here.

In which part of RP will you be a Samurai: Has been during Bastok, Windurst missions and Rise of the Zilart. Retired currently, and could possibly use it again in Abyssea.

Type of attendance: Regular.

Story of your job in a briefing: After abandoning his training in ninjutsu, Kenjii returned to Bastok and seek audience with Zeid to ask him to be trained as a Dark Knight. The galka declined his request, and Kenjii then decided to take the path of the Samurai in order to hunt demons and gets his revenge.

As a Samurai in the RP group: Kenjii assists Avina's group through Windurst, Bastok missions and Rise of the Zilart.
During this very one part of RP his shoulder is injured seriously by a bite of the Ash Dragon. Despite the received cures and attentions from many healers and doctors, Kenjii will be unable to assume the Seigan stance without feeling a sharp pain.
When Lion dies, Kenjii promises himself to find a way to recover his strength in order to protect others, and leaves the group to head to the Far East, where he was told there could be a remedy to his wound.. (check RP Fanfictions for details)

What will you do in the future: in the Far East Kenjii retires his samurai in order to recover his shoulder, and becomes a ninja. How long it will take for him to be able to lift a 2handed blade again is unknown.

Appearance: Kenjii has shown different attires as a samurai. His favorite clothes have been Jujitsu Gi, Kyudogi and the Myochin set. He also had an argent coat, but had to sell it to afford a ride to the Far East.
