Idealistic means your character is rather inflexible ideological. and in turn it means you can't handle compromising your principles well. So when you lose honor you lose more than you normally would, but when you gain honor you increase honor more rapidly. Scorpions have to take a special disadvantage called Junshin instead of idealistic. It's bothe idealistic and black sheep rolled into one. and adds 5 character points.

Meddler - means you get into other peoples business, this can cause deadly problems.

Nanashi is not a recognized family name, so you'll need to convincing to let me let you keep it.

Add hunting, at no cost.

Add social disadvantage Ronin at no gain. So your an Antisocial, idealistic, overconfident, softhearted, vain, unlucky, compulsive Black Sheep with a bad reputation. Yeah you're going to be popular. A popular target.

Other than the necessary changes I suggested you're good to go.

It's a taken name from when his family disowned him. It means 'without name,' and it seemed appropriate for a black sheep ronin to take an 'anti-name' as their family name. I could change it to something else if you'd rather.


Done.

Let's break it down for those who think Krylo is god modding.

Ronin - This means all you fine upstanding clan samurai are better off than this poor degenerate.
Antisocial +4 - This means as it stands, he will fail in any social interaction
Bad Reputation +2 - This means he pisses people off just by introducing himself
Black Sheep +5 - his own family hates him
Idealistic +2 - He has a highly developed sense of honor.
Overconfident +3 - He thinks he's better than he really is.
Soft Hearted +2 - He has trouble killing things.
Unluck +5 - I can purposely re roll any of his successes
Vanity +1 - he's a jerk
Compulsion +3 (Condition is that when he sees a defenseless person or persons attacked, he will step in regardless of his chances) I can just have him go Vigilante to keep him occupied.
......Ambidextrous -3 - A slight advantage in a fight.
......Crafty -3 - A useful set of skills
......Quick -3 - useful unless you opponent is quick too.
......Death Trance -3 - he is without fear.
......Dangerous Beauty -2 - useless since he's such a social bore.

Just like the REAL me! Neat! Also, I respectfully request that there are no villages being attacked by mongols... By the way... what skills are they? Which... considering my disadvantages, is probably more of a bad thing than a good thing. Fear gives you the good sense to run away, after all. ...I'm tempted to request that I gain the three points.
Err... yah... that was just me wasting two points to make him pretty...

I recomend for all of you to not piss off anybody with white hair, green armor, brown armor, people in masks, and/or named Celes. Also taking disadvantages that make people dislike you, is a bad idea when a bad social interaction can end with your death.
