Incognito Ashigaru: You want nothing to do with your own identity. You are the estranged daughter of the Master Medium of the Sun Guard, but unlike your father, you find the dead incredibly disturbing, and would prefer as much distance between you and your gifts as possible.
EXCLUSIVE SKILL: Spirit Binding. You may act as a conduit. A recently dead or otherwise empty body can be re-inhabited by a spirit - whether its own or another - and any wounds be elementally sealed (but not healed) with fire. This is a temporary measure if the body is not healed further, but can last several minutes to a few hours.
INFORMATION: Like your father, you see the dead. And they want something of you - to live again. But the dead are terrifying, and neither duty nor destiny can make you serve the spirits - you've always preferred Dragons and elemental beings. Once you understood the extent of your power, and before your father did, you ran off. But you could not escape to the mainland - the Bando is walled off - and you would be recognized too easily in Nakumatou. Go to Nakamiyo, and they'd make you a Mibugumi - and force you face to face with death on the battlefield. Catch a pirate ship, and you'd face much the same problem. But in Koroshima, in the village of Suzuki, you could become a sniper, with no questions asked about your past - and that, at least, puts you amdist the elementals of the mountains, the dragons of peaks and sky, and keeps the dead a hundred paces distant.
All you want is quiet, but you can't have it. The Suzuki rifles may soon be deployed as marines, if Koroshima wins the Shogun's favor, and all your problems would come back. And the dragons of peaks and sky are agitated by something - some new presence. You're morbidly certain that staying here among them alone will prove just as bad.
So, what do you do now? Who can help you escape yourself? You will do anything they ask, if they can save you from the dead.
