Born the second son of Hanabusa Akira, twin brother of the daimyo Hanabusa Daiki, Hanabusa Genosuke had to work hard to gain notoriety among his clan members. Having been fortunate enough to win a few ketsuiki duels during winter court, Genosuke was invited to become a member of the Banner Knights (which was quickly and graciously accepted). While in the ranks of the Banner Knights, he became an accomplished duelist. He was awarded a sword made of an extremely valued metal alloy made only by the Hashimoto clan. Again, during winter court while the Ota clan was hosting the emperor, a ketsuiki tournament was provided for his highness' entertainment. Rumor exists that this tournament was set up so that an Arato samurai would be the victor and gain favor from the emperor. The shogun added his candidate at the last minute and Genosuke was that candidate. Genosuke did well as expected. In the final match, Genosuke faced an opponent who, believed he [Genosuke] was throwing the event. An arrogant and overconfident samurai named Arato Ryukyun. However, after Genosuke clearly and cleanly landed the first strike, Ryukyun dishonored himself and his clan  by furiously attempting to attack a second time. Genosuke successfully defended himself and killed Ryukyun. For the dishonorable actions taken by the flustered iaijutsu  master, the emperor awarded Ryukyun's sword, named Kusanagi after the master sword smith who created it, one of the legendary Hashimoto Katanas, and a relic the Ota clan most covets to Genosuke. Shortly after the deaths of both the emperor and the shogun he effectively became a ronin. Instantly becoming a man with a price on his head, in order to make a living (outside the normal skill set of a swordsman), Genosuke would visit geisha houses and offer the girls acupuncture treatments for a meal and entertainment. Genosuke soon re-entered his parent clan as had so many other disbanded Banner Knights. To the Ota clan, reclaiming the Kusanagi blade instantly became the catalyst for war between the Yokokiyo and Ota clans. Although the might of the Ota appears to be a bit unprepared for the quick skirmish style attacks of the assimars, this war is still not yet over.

Combat

Genosuke always uses the Superior Expertise feat in combat which gives him a +9 dodge bonus to AC in addition to another +1 from being permanently hasted by the Shinsoke class feature; this also gives him an additional attack. Genosuke's damage done with his katana is calculated using the starting Bastard Sword stats (since a katana is just a masterwork bastard sword in the campaign). However, at 15th level, he was awarded the Hashimoto Katana Kusanagi for winning a ketsuiki tournament held by the emporer. This sword's attributes stack with Genosuke's Life on the Edge class feature.

Honor Score: 15.

Kusanagi (mw): Hashimoto Katana with a carbon fiber Weapon Cord (hardness 10 and 10 hp.), market price: (2,635 g.p., 3 lb.).

Maneuvers Readied (Ex):Crystal Intuition (boost), Diamond Deflection (counter), Emerald Razor (strike), Greater Insightful Strike (strike), Mind Strike (strike), Moment of Perfect Mind (counter), Pearl of Black Doubt (stance).

Unseen Blade (Ex): As free actions or as part of any attack action, Genosuke can draw and sheathe his weapon (clean of any blood). This augment replaces the Bladewind class feature.

History

Born the second son of Hanabusa Akira, twin brother of the daimyo Hanabusa Daiki, Hanabusa Genosuke had to work hard to gain notoriety among his clan members. Having been fortunate enough to win a few ketsuiki duels during winter court, Genosuke was invited to become a member of the Banner Knights (which was quickly and graciously accepted). While in the ranks of the Banner Knights, he became an accomplished duelist. He was awarded a sword made of an extremely valued metal alloy made only by the Hashimoto clan. Again, during winter court while the Ota clan was hosting the emperor, a ketsuiki tournament was provided for his highness' entertainment. Rumor exists that this tournament was set up so that an Arato samurai would be the victor and gain favor from the emperor. The shogun added his candidate at the last minute and Genosuke was that candidate. Genosuke did well as expected. In the final match, Genosuke faced an opponent who, believed he [Genosuke] was throwing the event. An arrogant and overconfident samurai named Arato Ryukyun. However, after Genosuke clearly and cleanly landed the first strike, Ryukyun dishonored himself and his clan by furiously attempting to attack a second time. Genosuke successfully defended himself and killed Ryukyun. For the dishonorable actions taken by the flustered iaijutsu master, the emperor awarded Ryukyun's sword, named Kusanagi after the master sword smith who created it, one of the legendary Hashimoto Katanas, and a relic the Ota clan most covets to Genosuke. Shortly after the deaths of both the emperor and the shogun he effectively became a ronin. Genosuke soon re-entered his parent clan as had so many other disbanded Banner Knights. To the Ota clan, reclaiming the Kusanagi blade instantly became the catalyst for war between the Yokokiyo and Ota clans. Although the might of the Ota appears to be a bit unprepared for the quick skirmish style attacks of the assimars, this war is still not yet over.
