Master Koju

Master Koju is a Contemplative. Although a master of the Temple’s martial arts, she prefers to spend her waking hours sitting motionless conversing with the Kami and seeking greater enlightenment. Koju learned to call forth all kinds of spirit, from the Kami of the local crossroads, the air and fire kami who often aid the Temple to some of the more important gods of heavens. Her enlightenment, of a sort, came when she was visited by the Kami of Time. This being has never communed with any other, mortal or god and Koju never speaks of what the Kami actually said but she was forever changed.

She wears a blindfold and relies entirely on her knowledge of what is going to happen rather than mundane human sight and her feet no longer touch the ground when she walks. If she is in danger all of creation will bend to ensure her safety, and even the most depraved Kami representing the worst aspects of creation will not harm her. This often manifests as wild animals appearing alongside her to attack those who threaten her and her enemies slow down in her presence to allow her allies the opportunity to take out threats before they have a chance to reach her. Her Foresight Ki Feat is very powerful. Master Koju is not an amazing combat model (For a master monk!) but the support this feat offers is undeniably worth her presence in many lists. Essentially if you don’t like the result of any melee exchange, you can re-make all your choices but your opponent is stuck with theirs! She can also make enemies slow in a pulse around her which can be game-changing in the right circumstances.

Koju comes with her own Enhancement card representing two wild animals that have come to protect her. Each Melee Exchange you can choose the offensive Tiger with his +2 Melee Strength and Sharp or the Defensive Deer with its healing ability. This adds a lot of options to Master Koju’s melee toolkit and I hope provides a flavourful way to play this unique new character.

Blister contains one miniature, one 50mm base and three full colour profile cards.
