Hello!
As a newcomer to the game, I'd like to ask for assistance with some setting-related manners which aren't all clear to me. Could you guys help?
1. What is a proper behaviour for a samurai, how much "stoic" do they need to be? Could a samurai have a (polite) laugh at a joke? Kiss his wife? Smile when seeing a friend?
2. Are there female samurai in the setting? Overall, what's the position of women in Rokugan?
3. Do the samurai in the setting look more like on the art in the rulebooks (long flowing hair etc.), or more like in historical Japan (bald-shaved men, women with hairbuns and heavy make-up)?
4. What's the public perception of the Scorpion Clan? Each Clan seems to have an official, publicly-known role within the Empire. The Scorpion's true role (the dirty-handied protectors of Empire) is a secret, though... so, what does everyone else thinks the Scorpion's officla role is?
Advice greatly appreciated!
