Clan Okuyama
Contents
Motto
'Better your skills, better yourself.'
Description:
While Okuyama is the personal House of Diamyo Teishi Masamura, to say that Clan Okuyama is just a household is incorrect, we are Clan, a family. We put Clan first and try to maintain Bushido on and off the field. The clan has a rank structure similar to that of historical Japanese samurai society. While there are members who fight and those who don't, we are a Noble Samurai Clan. We can be found at events by looking for the Tori gate at the entrance to our camp. We encourage our members to better their own personal skills. While having a Japanese persona isn't necessary to join, all members are asked to obtain a set of Japanese garb and to choose a 'Clan Name.'
History:
Okuyama translates as 'Distant Mountain' or 'Hidden Mountain' and refers to the fact that at a time when the clan started there were few Japanese themed fighting companies or households and the three founding members were from other games. We keep the mountain in our hearts. The Clan has gone through several evolutions and has recently been resurrected after a many year hiatus.
The House had three awards/favors.
- Clan Favor- A basic black cloth favor with clan mon.
- Black obi belt with green stripe down center and silver trim worn by Daimyo's personal guard.
- Gyoyo armor favor- Given to house members to wear on armor.
Awards:
- Award of the Flame, given by Sheriff Kathrynn St. James, Feb-18-2005
- Zodiac, given by King Raven the Muse, Sept 2007
