...You May Be a <Insert Clan>

By JJ48, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

This is just a less-than-completely-serious thread of jokes relating to clans and clan stereotypes. Practice the art of Wit-jutsu! Just please remember to keep it civil. We're poking fun at all clans, but let's not let it get personal!

If you think even the capital-'K' Kami should be serving you instead of the other way around...you may be a Phoenix.

If the greatest insult the other clans could offer you is to not simply overthrow their current government and instill your Clan Champion as undisputed Emperor...you may be a Spider.

If your boats are stronger than your castles...you may be a Mantis.

If you can string together any random series of words and get people to view you as wise rather than mad...you may be a Dragon.

If you think Wall-mart is the best place to get supplies against the Shadowlands...you may be a Crab.

If your girlfriend broke up with you because she didn't want to be seen with a guy who's prettier than she is...you may be a Crane.

If your plots have so many layers that even you are surprised to learn that you're really behind it all...you may be a Scorpion.

If you have so much cavalry that your horses ride into battle on horses...you may be a Unicorn.

If you're a big, golden cat with a long, furry mane around your neck...you may be a lion.

To be fair, I'd consider a "Chicks dig the tetsubo" bumper sticker.

Underline it with an image of the tetsubo, and have a crab blue background.

If even your horses are on boats... you might be a Mantis.

If your motto is "Beat it until it stops moving"... you may be a Crab.

Mirumoto Satsu approves of this stereotype. ;)

If you don't care that it has a flag you're definitely a Mantis.

If you know that Rarity is clearly a Crane and not a Unicorn you might be too multidisciplinary.
