Biography

Daffy started Amtgard in 1994 at the Barony of Mushroom Shrine in the Kingdom of the Wetlands.

Persona

 Daffy was born in the Shire of the Mushroom Shrine in the Kingdom of the Wetlands. He was always restless and wanted to travel the world and learn about other civilizations. He saved enough money to gain passage on a merchant ship heading to the land of the Orient on his 18th birthday, in hopes he would quench his thirst for adventure. Little did he know that as soon as he reached his destination, his life would take an unlikley course.
 
 Daffy arrived and started walking onto the dock that lead to the village, when he noticed a young girl in the water. Upon further inspection he realized she was drowning. Daffy jumped in, saved the girl, and escorted her to her home. He soon learned that the girls father was the daimyo, or lord of the village. After learning of Daffy's rescue of his daughter, the daimyo soon took him under his wing and into his home. This was a great honor and a rare thing, for he was an outsider and would have been kept at a distance if not for the kindness shown to the daimyo's daughter.
 
 Years past, a civil war erupted between various clans. The daimyo's lord sent out a decree that all outsiders were to leave in the morning. The daimyo was sadened by this because he had grown fond of Daffy but, he could not disobey his liege lord, and questioning him would be seen as great disrespect. The daimyo sent for Daffy and advised him of the situation, he understood so he didn't question it. In the morning, Daffy said his goodbyes and was on his way to the ship when guards stopped him and told him that the daimyo wanted to see him right away. He arrived back at the home and was taken to a great room. Inside, many people sat lined up on both sides of the room. Daffy was motioned to sit in the middle of the room. He sat down behind a figure that was sitting on a raised platform at the back of the room. 
 
 The figure then turned toward him and spoke, the whole room was silent. "I am Lord Yoshido, my brother is the daimyo of this village. I have spoken with him and have been kept informed from many sources that you have learned all our ways and that you are like one of us. Do you know what it means to be Samurai?" Daffy responded "To serve my lord" Lord Yoshido then continued with out a comment. "I send you away because I must but, I believe you have served me from the time you rescued my niece until now." He then stood up and pulled out what appeared to be an envelope.
 
 He then continued speaking loudly so the whole room could hear his words "It is the duty of the Samurai to serve his lord no matter what and even though you are not Samurai, that is what you have done. " He then handed Daffy the folded envelope with his personal symbol on the front. "A Samurai does his duty and should not expect rewards for his service but, from time to time his lord may choose to reward them." He then stood firmly in front of the room and spoke while motioning to Daffy. " I, Lord Yoshido decree that from this day on Daffy will be known as Daffy Yoshido and he will also be Samurai. Also, all honors and privleges that come with this will be bestowed upon him." He then motioned Daffy Yoshido to stand and face the room. The room started calling out "Lord Yoshido...Lord Yoshido...Daffy Yoshido!!"

 Daffy Yoshido returned to the Kingdom of the Wetlands and continued to practice Bushido. He fought many wars and became a great Samurai. He eventually grew weary of various people and decided to settle down and start a family. Though, he continued to serve the kingdom whenever it called upon him. Years past and the kingdom called on him less and less. His life was quant but, his adventurous side began calling him as it did before. He packed up his family and traveled to the east, to a new land known as the Kingdom of Crystal Groves. 
 
 There he settled in The Shire of the Harbour of Rhye. He soon joined a band of Greek warriors who also had a strong sense of honor, known as the Spartans of the Rhye, under the command of Strategos MaA Redav Von Kirathelle Esq. Daffy Yoshido quickly moved up to the rank of Polmarch/Second in Command of the Spartans. A little while later he also became belted as Man-at-Arms to Lord Manama Proster under the Knight known as Sir Angrist Galvorn.

 Daffy Yoshido currently resides in The Kingdom of Crystal Groves. He still carries the name and personal symbol of the Yoshido household and the sense of honor that comes with it but, due to the extinction of the Samurai class he is known now only as Daffy.
