Give us a summary of your background:
I was born in 800 AS, a distant descendant, twenty generations removed, from Kozue Okamura. In practical terms, that means very little. The name does not grant rank. It does not command loyalty. If anything, it carries expectations that most would rather not inherit.

Kozue is remembered as a strategist and survivor, someone who preserved what remained of the loyalists in exile and helped lay the foundations of the Blood Dragons. What mattered more than his victories, at least in our family’s telling, was that he stepped aside. He understood that a movement built to resist corruption could not afford to centralize itself around a single will, not even his own.

That decision shaped the generations that followed.

The Okamura name was never meant to be prominent. It receded over time, deliberately so. We were not raised to rule, nor to reclaim authority. Instead, each generation passed down three things: the Oath, the unvarnished history of the movement, and the skills necessary to endure if the worst came to pass.

The upbringing was structured, even severe at times. Not because collapse was guaranteed, but because complacency was dangerous. We were taught that any organization, no matter how principled at its birth, can drift. Power attracts hierarchy. Hierarchy invites abuse. It was treated less as cynicism and more as a pattern to be aware of.

When that drift became visible within the Dragons, with titles accumulating, authority consolidating, and priorities shifting, the Oath ceased to be abstract. It was not a call to overthrow or dominate. It was a reminder to intervene when core tenets were being neglected.

I am upholding my responsibility by offering you my service - until balance is restored.

Reasons for joining the KLA:
My forebears have a storied tradition of resisting Samura's illegitimate junta. The bastard child of a coup that is still alive and well in our day and age. I am sworn to continue this duty - by any means necessary.
