The Ryuu Family || Information and Feedback

[Shimamori]

Good luck! Kusari might look dead at times but may this not prevent you from doing what you like (if you are not getting bored that is).

Great write up best of luck. Do you think that this is going to make it since Kusari is dead??

Oops, didn't realize I invited the inactivity police to my thread! In all seriousness, while I'm grateful for all perspectives, I was really hoping for some feedback on the faction itself. If the missing players are bugging you too, maybe we can brainstorm some ways to re-engage them in another thread?

If that is feedback you want, here are my 5 cents:

1. IMHO, it's better to expand the part about Amaterasu acquisition (and double-check its infocard regarding whet it was created in lore. Not saying it's wrong, haven't seen the infocard, but it is supposed to be rather new). The ship is restricted to the creme de la creme of Samura and not all Hogosha families can acquire it easily without going to great lengths.
   
2. Female leader. That's a matter of taste, ofc, but if you want to play the Hogosha close to their irl origin, the yakuza, you should know that it is a very patriarchal structure with male oyabun at its head. Women of yakuza are greatly respected, no doubt, but daughters do not really inherit the "empires" of their fathers.
   
3. Lastly, "family". The Japanese used to operate as clans. I suggest the latter for the faction because it involves not only the blood relatives but also the confidantes and all kind of advisors, etc, who are regarded as "extended family", that is a clan. Talented people can be adopted like it historically was with the Japanese daimyo and later on yakuza (that appeared during the Edo period and was loosely based on the feudal clan system prevalent at the time and has remained as an orthodox structure still).
   

None of the above is critical, just my take on the stylistics. You might gradually expand the lore to give it more flavour and depth as the faction progresses.
