-Stats are 4d6d1, assign freely. You can have one full-set reroll, and you can choose whether or not to keep the second roll.
-As far as classes, feats and other character options go, officially published D&D material only. Any sourcebook, but no Unearthed Arcana. 
-I'd like you to prepare me a small amount of backstory. Nothing major, but answer me these questions three: 1) How is your character sworn fealty to Takeshi Konda? 2) What is one major triumph your character has experienced in their life? 3) What is one significant failure your character has experienced?
-Connections between PCs are encouraged, though not required. Some form of emotional connection to Konda's daughter Michiko might be helpful for pathos, but a sense of loyalty and personal honor is enough in this setting.
