I am a Dragon,
Honor of my people first,
Edo: do your worst.
~ Legendary haiku and motto of Bakin
My parents were Blood Dragons. I was a noble, but my people grew complacent. By early adulthood, I was irate with the moderation of my superiors. I stole my lord's spacious warship. Now I grow the food of my ancestors in its holds and raise another people, however weak, on my ship. For every honorable, eager youth which will come, there will be a tear in my eye.
