Jiang was smiling as he held Gin in the air and hearing him repeat after The Dog made him feel even better. Confidence was always one of the most important qualities of his code. Though their mission was serious, he wanted the others to have fun and enjoy themselves as well and he hoped that Gin would lose his stutter as time moves forward. This world was harsh for half-Onis but that was something very similar to Jiang's own upbringing so he could perfectly sympathize with them.

The debate on where to go was still up in the air and though he highly favored the dangerous path, he didn't want to go there unless everyone was able to commit with their whole heart. The old crow had a great counterpoint in regards to traveling to Uta. Ru was the next best place, foreign territory and a chance to increase a neighbor's bond with their lord as opposed to going to a sister village while they're already full on supplies and the like. "I agree with Metou, Ru would be the best option, so let's get on our way!"

During this initial journey, Jiang would never sacrifice himself for the group unless he was already gravely wounded and going to die anyway. If they were all healthy and one person had to stay back and die so the others could escape then he would never suggest himself, but thank and love whoever did as well as do what he can to avenge them.

Question of the day: Would your character willingly sacrifice themselves for the survival of the group?

Responses like that are exactly how I imagine Oni respond to humans talking about how you should honor your ancestors.

@Lekkuen

Sounds like it's turning into a "My daddy can whoop your daddy's ass."

So what is your character's thoughts on killing? Last resort, first resort, highly against taking another life?

Shima clan would die

@Lekkuen

But they would take our group in for being so bold, right?

@Lekkuen so what would happen if we pull a GTA griefing session in the Naji and go on a killing spree to attract stars? Would that earn his respect by being so bold?

Jiang Baji was more offended by the half-hearted introduction than he was by the passive aggression from Gin. Jiang's eyes were wide open and staring down at his friend when he heard him say whatever after introducing himself and immediately jumped in to correct him after Takumi was done speaking once more. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Gin, you can't do that, man! You gotta sell yourself! You have speak valiantly and with pride in your title!" Jiang moved behind his buddy, lifting him up and putting him on his shoulders like his kid brother. "Now we say "I'm Gin The Halfling, greatest blacksmith in all of Shima and soon to be all of Baji!" We'll working on your posing moves later." The azure warrior placed his friend down and got more serious as he put all of his focus on to Takumi's response. It was a possible route but it was very dangerous compared to the other two and they would have no help from Shima villages, nor we they have the righteous advantage of the law aiding them in a non-Shima territory. The group would more than likely be outnumbered if they were to go down that route and he wasn't sure if they would be capable of fighting together in order to preserve one another's life. "Well, I would hate to ask you to do something that you would rather not do. I'm not sure if we would be able to make it through if we get into a fight, but I like our odds so long as those two are by our side." He said, nodding his head towards Yuudai and Gin. Jiang then turns to his allies and asks for their input. "This is a group decision, going that third route seems to be potentially risking our lives. If anyone is against it, then I say we don't go at all. How do you all feel?" He asked while looking at his friends and awaiting their valued opinions.

You can really feel the calibur of his soul through that picture. I hope he's not going to be a villain though, I don't want Jiang's soul to be on the edge of his katana. If we meet then our team is going to have to match him soul for soul and blade for blade.
