| Shosuro family
| |
|---|---|
| Clan: | Scorpion Clan |
| Founded: | 17 |
| Daimyo: | Shosuro Aroru |
The Shosuro family was founded by Bayushi's first follower, Shosuro. Shosuro excelled in acting, drama, treachery, and the arts, as her followers do today. The Shosuro were excellent spies and courtiers, as well as assassins. The Shosuro were a family veiled in lies. While Clans like the Crab and the Lion were the "experts" on warfare, the Scorpion would deal with things quietly, carefully making sure no witnesses survived. If you befriended a Shosuro, you should not be surprised if you find your problems quickly melting away.

History 
Edit
Bayushi's servants Edit
When Shosuro left the Scorpion lands to join Shinsei and the other Seven Thunders to fight Fu Leng, she left behind three students who had learned the secrets of her techniques. This three students took on their sensei's name and continued to serve Bayushi in her memory, becoming the first members of the Shosuro family. Since then, the Shosuro has served the Bayushi. [1]

The Lying Darkness Edit
To came back from Shadowlands on the Day of Thunder in 42, Shosuro, greivously wounded, made a bargain with the Lying Darkness. Each year from this date, the Darkness began taking souls among the Shosuro family. Since then, every student ninja must pass a review at the end of their first year. A hooded man, in twilight, would touch each student. One in fifteen would be taken by the Darkness. [3]
Destroyer War Edit
The Destroyer War diminished the ranks of the Shosuro family. In 1174 its strength was fourty percent of what it was prior to the war, and they did not have Shosuro Daimyo since Shosuro Toson had committed seppuku to clean the Scorpion failure during the war in 1173. Some counseled the family's dissolution and absorption into the Bayushi, but they remained and recruited some from among the other families. [4]
