Shinzo
The Icon of Duty
Shinzo, also known as the Shadow's Burden, is a less than average height human samurai with dark red and orange lamellar armor, raven black hair in a top knot, and sharp features. Shinzo's title is a moniker to His responsibilities to His clan's home. His actions often lost in the shadows of His superiors, but this was also tied to His Calling; Shadow. Shinzo's responsibilities flourished when unnoticed, but it is not credit that He sought. It was completion of His tasks. His mount is recognized as being a Warhorse.
Dogma
Shinzo is a strict and law-abiding Icon that holds the ideal of your duties are your priorities. Most working class worshippers of Shinzo are some of the greatest examples of His dogma as they put their duty to their occupation before themselves. However, it is not uncommon for nobility or adventurers to worship Shinzo as your duty could be to your noble house, quest, or adventuring group.
Gaining Favor or Redemption
Shinzo's approach on gaining favor is based on whether you have been outstanding with your duties. If you were to slack in your duties, or fail them, then favor is lost and redemption is meant to be earned through those you failed. Once the trust that you are capable in your duties has been repaired, then Shinzo will accept your worship.
Interactions with the world
Shinzo is only an observer of those that perform their duties well. He does focus more on those that are in the military or are heads of household. For those in the military, they are held in a regimented system that tempers them into the duty of putting your life on the line for your homeland. For those that are heads of household, they are tempered by the lives around them, their duty being to protect and mold them into productive members of society.
