Biography
Stick Jock Version - Katzu started in the Wetlands, decided to go after Knight of the Flame by Master Smith and got there up in the Rising Winds. He's done stuff, he's met people, and he's only occasionally an insufferable douche.
Goldilocks Version - Katzu's been hanging around Amtgard since 1999, when he, his cousin, and his girlfriend Maera went to Granite Spyre in an attempt to find a LARP worth convincing his current LARP group to join. They returned home with all of their weapons illegal, a copy of the rulebook, and a sword made by Daxon Goldmoon, and a dream to become an ally to the Houston peoples. Katzu and crew started Crimson Moon, and Katzu would openly state that his only goal was to earn an order of the Lion. When his year-long term ended as Chancellor he was made a Lord and had already earned many achievements and honors, but not a single Lion. His dreams shattered, Katzu drifted in the game until late 2000 when Sir Luke Wyngarde organized the Y2K bug quest, which Katzu helped run the Crimson Moon portion of. Designing and running the quest showed Katzu he could be pretty good at this, and so he set himself the "impossible" goal of Knight of the Flame by Master Smith, and his Masterhood only coming via Quests.
Katzu started with single quests, but because he's a gaming nerd started telling stories too big for one quest alone, and so began to run trilogies, starting with a return of his long-time rival, the Dread Lord Maphic. It was wildly successful, and that combined with his "Katzuquests," bits and pieces various other LARP systems designed as an overlay on the core Amtgard mechanic, urged Katzu to take the game on the road running his next quest series as a three-part quest ran at three different parks. This act swiftly propelled Katzu onto the Kingdom's radar, and by 2003 he had earned an average of three Smiths a year and was poised to take the kingdom's quest scene by storm. However, as always happens, being a rockstar can't last forever, and so in the middle of 2003 Katzu married his long-term girlfriend Maera and moved to the Rising Winds and founded the province of Phoenix Tears.
Leaving the Wetlands on 9 Smiths, Katzu again drifted a bit listlessly until Sir Wisp's knighting vigil in 2004, when Katzu was asked what projects he had been working on and could answer. Realizing he had stalled out, this led Katzu to take a hand in running Discord in 2004, earning his 10th Smith. In 2005 he ran both the Pelennor Fields and Discord events within 7 days of one another, earning his Master Smith and his much-desired Flame Belt.
In 2009 tragedy struck as Katzu's brother was murdered and he felt himself needed back home in Louisiana. He moved back to Crimson Moon to be with family, and since then he has become Duke of the province along with many other positions. Just as before he stalled out a bit, but recent events such as the open playtest for Amtgard version 8 have seen him starting to stir and get himself ready to move. 2014 could see the rebirth of this Flame Knight, much like the Phoenix he often wears.
Flurb Version - While he was alive before the night he took vengeance against his former Daimyo's son who had engineered his disgrace, the Monk known as Onishi Katzushima "The Farquestor" didn't truly exist save for a tatter-cloth ronin with the fire of bushido in his breast and the single-minded drive for revenge on his heart.
