Backstory for Julta. Julta: Being born in the city of Lepidstadt always had interesting things going on, the Trail of the Beast and all the issues with the Whispering Tyrant and the Whispering way. Werewolves and many other oddities that surrounded the city and the Country side lead to children being born of Demonic descent. Being abandoned at a young age for being very different lead Julta to a life of sneaking hiding and surviving by himself. THis didn't leave him scared and hateful like other children who lived in state run homes. Julta grew up on Fairy Tales, most of them being True tales at one point in time. Julta did his best at the classes he was in as a child, going so far as in his teens to have signed up with hunting parties and other exploratory groups. After a while spending time with these groups, the University of Lepidstadt reached out to Julta, asking him if he would like to join expeditions that searched out new and less known creatures. Cryptds they had deemed them. Eventually Julta got to go out on his own, tracking down the more obscure sightings and those that a larger group just didn't want to track.

So why the Samurai. Bohdi came from Tain Xia, once a raw recruit in the nations army. He trained as hard as everyone else, not seeking to be extraordinary but to be as excellent as those around him. Training came easy as he had practiced with a sword for so long with his father and uncle's. Eventually making it into the army Bohdi went on many patrols, once day he came across some bandits with his patrol, Bohdi was sent back for reinforcements, Bodhi was way laid by a spirit in the woods. Another patrol happened upon him as he was heading back to his own patrol, the others thought he helped to ambush his patrol. Bohdi fled the area with all he had, making his way to the western shore, working as a mercenary for a while before gaining passage west. Hearing of these "Stolen Lands" and how Brevory wished to reclaim them, Bodhi made his way there, coming to late for the initial party selecting Bodhi was told to just venture out and find a group to join if possible. I think the Samurai will fit in because they are honorable and can be a good addition to any party. My character won't be mounted and would find a "tank" roll well.
So like a bear druid from WoW?
