BACKGROUND
Yasumasa was born the second son of Yoritomo Hatoshi and Yoritomo Kyoko formerly Kuni Kyoko. Yasumasa being the second son was decided that in case his older brother Tsubasa, who is a bushi, died they'd like to preserve the line and as such committed him to the Yoritomo courtier school.
Tsubasa is an unfortunate soul whom has been tainted by the shadowlands and is part of a death squad with the crab and has no wife and children.
Yasumasa however grew up to be a quite successful Yoritomo courtier he took to heart easily the main teachings of the school and impressed his teachers with how Yasumasa handled a balance of persuasion through courtier and coercion through intimidation.
When Yasumasa passed his gempukku he was put in charge of a small merchant vessel which spent most of it's time delivering goods up and down Rokugan's rivers. To keep him safe from bandits and the like his parents managed to negotiate a Budoka named Yosai to become his servant. Yosai and Yasumasa would become great friends and Yosai soon became the first mate of the vessel.
They experienced mild and steady success for many years even upgrading to a slightly larger vessel. At the age of 19 however he experienced a slight change in fortune...
One evening while Yasumasa had docked his ship for a particularly storm he decided to watch for any lightning from Osano-wo. He was standing on the deck of the ship while everyone else was below, it became rocky and wet from the waves hitting the side. Inevitably Yasumasa slipped and kept slipping till he was at the side of his ship his left arm dangling over the side. Time seemed to slow down as he saw the ship next to his drifting towards him at a rapid speed. The noise and pain he would never forget as the two ships slammed together breaking his arm and shattering the bone. Yosai rushed to the deck to help his friend.
The Shugenja Yosai took Yasumasa to informed them that they'd have to amputate the arm. Yosai agreed while Yasumasa was passed out from the pain and the Shugenja dosed Yasumasa and begun the procedure. Yasumasa woke in the morning and to his horror his left arm was missing and news had spread fast as he received a letter telling him that due to his new situation that his ship was to be taken from him.
This left him without duty, arm and purpose. Yasumasa's mental condition also became worse with depression as where his arm was he felt a great amount of pain come from there and he took to drinking nearly constantly to dull the pain. Yosai continued his duty as friend and faithful servant and did what he could to ease Yasumasa's suffering.
A year of this depression was allowed and he spent most of his time wallowing in self pity. Yasumasa went to see a show, while drunk, of an admirably beautiful woman who sung a song which pierced his drunken heart. For a moment he became depressed on how such a woman would never wish to be with him in this state then he became very sober and resolute. He would rid himself of this pitiful state of depression and self pity then work toward being worthy of such a woman.
However the pain was still there and as such he found it hard to give up the sake he drunk to dull the pain. This would not stop his determination as he returned home to have a refreshment of his skills with his Sensei before heading back out into the world. He found himself in the city Toshi Ranbo in the Ichidou district where there was a Spider shugenja, courtier Yasumasa cared not the dog was preaching the dark fortunes as if people wanted to hear. Yasumasa in his somewhat drunken state marched over and told him whats what, humiliating the spider in front of many that weren't impressed by the spider anyways.
Somebody was watching this because Yasumasa was suddenly charged to map the nation.
