[@Buddha] I've been thinking about whether or not I wanna hop on this train, but I just wanna get a couple o' questions squared away.

1. Got any sort of idea what's going on in the Land of Iron? Are the samurai still around?
2. Would it be possible to play a samurai?

I have no authority, but having known.. Uh, Buddha for quite some time, I'd say go for it. Think you need make the Samurai into a shinobi, though.

I.E used to be a samurai, now a shinobi of Kumo.
