Armor: He wears a dark blue Hakama that dosent offer much protection but it honors his family by having the white flower crest on his back.

Skills: Hidden Daggers: Honda hides three hidden daggers under his Hakama that do minumul damage.
History: To those samurai and ninja lucky enough to have survived the wars and to have fallen within the new definition of elite, life was good. Yet there were thousands who did not fit into the system, and these are the men who can be called, with some justification, 'the forgotten samurai'. There were various means by which men ended up in this category, of which the most tragic examples were those who were called the ronin. For over a century the great civil wars that had raged in Athlantas had created an ever-increasing pool of unemployed samurai. Contrary to popular belief that battles rarely ended with either mass slaughter or mass acts of suicide. Quite often a defeated daimyô was re-invested into his territories in return for a pledge of loyalty to the victor, such as happened with the absorption of the Masakatsu by the military, but sometimes this proved impossible. With a lord both defeated and dead, and his followers labelled as rebels, the samurai who found themselves on the losing side had lost almost everything that they had lived for or been trained for. These were the men who became known as rônin, 'men of the waves', Which is what Honda became to be after his famliy's defeat.
The doors of opportunity began to close for Honda from the time of peace onwards. For years had past since he seeked imployment but he would decied to join the military one day. For that was the only hope he had left. As a child he spent countless hours training with his brother's and father. He had a good life till his father's army began taunting other ones. This only leading to the desturction of his family except for him. He had survied with a arrow wound to the abdomen and manged to get picked up by few travelrs on the road before finally collapsing.
It was over 5 years ago this had happened but Honda, of course, found himself in that isolated position through no fault of his own but his father's. Honda's only dream is to become a general in the military to regain honor to his family name.
