Storyline Events - Test of the Topaz Champion

At the request of the Shogun, and by decree of the Emperor Toturi III, Son of Heaven:

This year marks a change to the tournaments known as the Jewels of the Empire. For many years now the samurai of Rokugan have recognized their best at these events, and positions of importance and honor have been rewarded to those found deserving of greater service to the Empire.   

The Emperor wishes to recognize the families who host these events and to shine light on the events and the samurai who attend them.

There are currently five Tests: Topaz, Ruby, Amethyst, Jade, and Emerald.  Each of these storyline events have become an important part of L5R and have grown to legendary status.  This year each of the Test events will be rewarded their perennial storyline prize, something players can look forward to face for the glory of their clan each year.

The Tests of 2006 begin with the Test of the Topaz Champion.  The Topaz Champion is recognized as the most promising young samurai from among all of the Clans.  On top of any other storyline prize awarded at the Test of the Topaz Champion, the winning player will be asked to answer 10 questions about the character of the victorious samurai. A character will be created for an upcoming set and this character will be introduced as the Topaz Champion.

Consider your answers carefully as this character is the best and brightest of your Clan for this year and his actions and personality may very well effect the actions of your clan in the future:
