Sekiro[edit]

Shinobi[edit]

The classic appearance of a full-fledged Sekiro.

A human shinobi creeps through the tall grass, nothing but a shadow cast upon a backdrop of darkness. His blade already unsheathed, he makes his way around the enemy camp where the orc soldiers are stationed. When one of them wanders into the foliage to relieve himself, the shinobi pulls him to the ground and slits his throat in one swift motion, the only sound being a gurgling of blood in the orc's open wound. With their ranks thinned by one, the two remaining orcs are left at a disadvantage when the shinobi descends upon them. He appears behind one and sheathes his katana in the warrior's heart. The other has little time to react and a short duel ensues. Their blades clash and the shinobi reacts swiftly, slicing through the orc's throat and leaving him to bleed out. When the next patrol arrives, the shinobi is long gone, the only trace of his existence being a trio of dispatched soldiers.

The halfling, having underestimated her foes, finds herself outmatched. The tabaxi guards before her sneer in their premature celebration, unaware of her hidden fang. She raises her wooden arm as they approach and the mechanism inside whirs to life. Firecrackers burst from her arm and exploded in a wide cone before her. The guards shield their eyes and recoil, giving the intruder valuable reaction time. A thin, strong rope springs from the shinobi's prosthetic arm and attaches to the top of the nearby gate. The Halfling is pulled over the heads of her enemies. When they uncover their eyes and regain their composure, she is gone. Sekiro Shinobi are skilled warriors who use both stealth and superior combat prowess to their advantage. They are loathe to be struck by enemies, as they cannot absorb much damage, but their unrivaled skills on the battlefield compensate nicely.

Creating a Sekiro[edit]

As you make your Sekiro Shinobi, consider how they lost their arms. Who were they when they were a simple shinobi? What was their mission and how did they lose their arm? Do they fall while defending their master in combat? Did they unknowingly lead bandits to the hamlet they were sworn to protect, later losing a limb in their efforts to prevent its destruction? This event is what drives them to push forward in their search for redemption and/or revenge.

What attitude do you take toward your rebirth? Do you solemnly return to your duties and attempt to make amends, or are you swallowed up in anger and driven to seek revenge on those responsible for your downfall? Do you regard your prosthetic arm as a tool that will prove useful in your quest or is it simply a grim totem that acts as a monument to your failures? Perhaps both are true in their own way.
