Family members depends on the roleplayers that join up 

The family is well known and well respected, Not a family of politics but all members of their family are known to be Generals or very skilled Samurai in times of war.

Past. Before the gunpowder age, The blades are sharp and strong and there is nothing better than them yet.

Im not sure yet. Possibly, If anyone wants to roleplay that type of character and make the story go that way then I will have them PM me to let me know. Most likely however, it will be someone from another family.
