[dragon] Daisho Story

[David Rodriguez]

Heh.... I'm replying to my own email..... this is
kinda studid... :)

I forgot to put this on the last post but I am not
trying to make a evil character. He really is good. 

Latley around here my DMs have had a good time giving
my characters the most hideous backgrounds they can
think of. It's gotten so bad that now my mind is
starting to work like that too. Even when I make a
honorable character there has to be some bad news
(Like my record breaking streak of consecutive family
deaths in a background using the Fuzion system
background roles).

No wonder I am getting moody in roleplaying games. :)

- Shuyjo
