Glad to see the interest. I've clarified the contradictory rules and spruced up the world info a little bit. Given that the most likely reason for rejection will be similarities to another character, here are synopses of the three accepted characters to avoid that.

1. A brooding samurai avenging his family by hunting a demon. Honor still very much intact.
2. A disgraced ronin running from a demon out to get him. Has foregone his honor.
3. A pirate from the Tokukokku Isles unaware of the demon insurrection. No honor to begin with.
