Petty Politics of the Shogunate [Character Generation Thread]

Alright, this is going to work at a different level than you are used to.

Specifically, we have to roll up the kingdom communally.

Now, there are 6 roles that you will be filling up; 5 of those are "mandatory" (as in they will make play smoother.)

So, we'll be doing it as follows:

1) Roll on the Kingdom Environment table.
2) Vote on where your first freebie point is in the Kingdom's stats.
3) Discuss who gets what roles.
    a) King (You have final arbitration in debates and such.)
    b) Vizier (You manage the kingdom's finances.)
    c) Knight (More like General; determine the kingdom's combat style and military aesthetic, as well as organizing the party for combat.)
    d) Oracle (More like High Priest; determine the kingdom's religion)
    e) Ninja (More like Spymaster; determine the kingdom's intelligence gathering stuff.)
    f) Servant (Optional; fills in any gaps.)
4) Roll up your characters; I'm going to ask you to roll for everything, with one mulligan where you can pick instead.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to open up the Kingdom stats thread.

Happymancers are good! You get to change the result in the End Phase to be better or worse.

Servants are kinda there for if you have more than 5 people... but sure. Remember, you get 2 jobs if you are a servant.
