D20	This street samurai wields
1	their own cybernetic fists, oversized bludgeons with hydraulic knuckles that could crush a tank’s main barrel like a soda can.

3	a replica of the Grutte zweihander, enhanced with the cutting edge of material science.
4	synth-muscle whips they can extend from each fingertip, all able to flex, bind, strike, and puppet independently.
5	a pair of machetes envenomated with their own biohacked, neurotoxic saliva.
6	a mechanized mascot costume they’ve modded into a passable suit of power armour.
7	a riot shield and an electrified baton.

10	a chainsaw with synthetic diamond teeth.
11	a collapsible tungsten-alloy spear that can superheat its own point.
12	a gun-sword.
13	a handheld plasma cutter modified into something like a lightsaber.
14	a jackhammer modified into a polearm.
15	a compound bow with exploding, self-guiding drone-tipped arrows.
16	a weapon like a metal macuahuitl, only with water jet cutters instead of chips of obsidian.
17	a smart metal urumi that adapts its shape, hardness, and other properties to do maximal damage to an opponent.
18	a powered disc-saw on the end of a pole.
19	the telescoping pneumatic spikes that make up their robotic legs’ calves.
20	a fire-axe and a flamethrower.

D20	This street samurai fights
1	in order to perfect their fighting style, which they see as synonymous with their spiritual development.
2	to assuage their fragile ego by making their superiority to others fatally clear.
3	because they’re effectively enslaved to their employer by debt.
4	because their memories of everything but fighting have been taken from them. It’s all they know.
5	because their personality has been overwritten with that of a ferocious warrior.
6	because they believe the world is fallen and death is a mercy.
7	as a way boost their social media presence.
8	for a master who rescued them from a life of poverty.
9	to keep hold of their neo-feudal patch of territory.
10	to find and take vengeance on the one who killed their father.
11	because they got burnt-out on the corporate life.
12	as a bodyguard, prefering being on the defensive to going on the attack.
13	for a reason they've forgotten in the haze of bloodshed.
14	as a stand-in duelist for those who wish to settle disagreements and offenses with blood, yet lack much ability to fight for themselves.
15	because they think the comforts of modern life would make them soft as blue cheese otherwise.
16	because they started out fighting to protect their siblings from an abusive parent, and couldn't extract themself from that cycle of violence after they and their siblings left their childhood home.
17	mainly as a "wrecker" - one who injures grievously without killing as a method of intimidation and extortion.
18	for aesthetics alone, because according to their personal philosophy violence is the highest art.
19	as a premium mercenary.
20	out of the hope that they can one day become a full-fledged warlord and carve out a new and better state from the rot of the old.

D20	This street samurai’s status

3	is a big fish in a little neighbourhood pond, unwilling or unable to push themself beyond.
4	has precipitously declined after a decisive livestreamed defeat.

6	has been inflated by a PR firm they hired.
7	is that of a promising upstart.

9	should be more impressive, but it's hampered by their chuunibyou tendencies.
10	is uncertain - they try to keep themself obscure - more of a ninja than a samurai.
11	seems to reach new peaks and troughs with every passing week.
12	has sunk after a long stay in the hospital - a sinking they're hoping to turn around with a big job.

D20	This street samurai’s secret technique
1	is in reality a gag they’ve misremembered from a cartoon they watched as a kid.
2	releases invisible, scentless sedative gas from hidden canisters implanted in their body, which they’ve built up an immunity to.

13	accelerates their perception of time, allowing them to strike with supreme precision.

15	is overclocking their cybernetic systems, boosting their power for a short time, risking cooking their own meat in the process.
16	uses a smoky explosive for a feint that covers up their fatal follow-up.
17	is a strike using a limb with a robotic joint disguised with fake flesh that has a much greater range of motion than its natural counterpart.

19	sacrifices all self-protection for a final assault.
20	is emitting an infrasonic noise at the edge of human hearing to induce a sense of defeat in their opponent.
