Clan Okuyama
Contents
Motto
Official: 'Better your skills, better yourself.' Unofficial: 'Don't hate the Gate!'
Description:
The Clan has gone through several evolutions and has recently been resurrected after a many year hiatus lead on the field by Boogie.
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. We put Clan first and try to maintain Bushido on and off the field.
The clan was both the personal House of Diamyo Teishi Masamura and a Fighting Company and had a rank structure similar to that of historical Japanese samurai society. We could be found at events by looking for the Tori gate and Clan Banner at the entrance to our camp. We encouraged our members to better their own personal skills. While having a Japanese persona wasn't necessary to join, all members were asked to obtain a set of Japanese garb and to choose a 'Clan Name.'
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
