[The Ryuu Family]

If that is feedback you want, here are my 5 cents:

None of the above is critical, just my take on the stylistics. You might gradually expand the lore to give it more flavour and depth as the faction progresses.

1. I also questioned the Kusari Liners age, but the info card only states the below, when taking that in mind, combined with that the Golden Dragon Casino NPC base was reskinned as the Amaterasu. It is believable that the Kusari Liner would be not a mass produced item, but something that there would at least be a half dozen or so. I was vague about the acquisition but in essence I was hoping it would be implied that following the Kusari Civil war the Ryuu familys shipping business was exchanged with a post war Sumara for the Amaterasu.

Samura "Amaterasu" Kusari Liner


Long before Renzu Corp entered the shipbuilding market and made a name for itself as Kusari's premier luxury manufacturer, Samura had reigned supreme as the designer of the most extravagant and glorious ships in the Empire, having for centuries built the Imperial family's private yachts and liners.

While times have changed, Samura's desire to reprise its role and standing has not. And so, the Amaterasu came into being: a vessel of nigh inconceivable grandeur. Powerful, luxurious, and with a design steeped in tradition, it represents all of Kusari's greatest values. With an awe-inspiring design and an interior comparable in luxury and artistry only to the Imperial Palace itself, the Amaterasu is the pinnacle of Samura Industries' shipbuilding. Dwarfing even some battlecruisers while being their equal in terms of armament, it was in fact only through arduous lobbying that Samura convinced both government and military officials to permit the civilian ownership of such a vessel. However, prohibitive construction costs and government restrictions have resulted in only a handful of these vessels being built, making them a truly rare and magnificent sight among the stars of Kusari.

2. I will think about a changing the layout of the lore a little bit to clarify the family structure. Hiroshi was married to Sakura before passing away. His brother, Takeshi should have taken control of the family but {{RP magic}} Sakura ended up in control. I am aware of the patriarchal structure that is generally followed but I wanted to create some infighting. My hope is that if/when players join the family with their character one of the already created family members, such as Takeshi, would be replaced with the explanation being death, retirement, something.

3. I am still having a debate about changing the structure from family to clan. I believe that many people are more comfortable with the mobster style of "family" than the Japanese centric clan structure. I wanted to make the Hogosha and by extent Kusari more accessible to newer RP'ers who might not be able to fully immerse themselves in the identity of "Kusari"
