Well, you're the only Phil I know in L5R, for one, but the big giveaway was the fact that I knew you were from France, and at the bottom of each of your Messages it says "From: Bordeaux, France". Put those together and you come up with Shosuro Phil.
As for me, I'm Tasogare. That should say enough right there. ;p
As far as Clans go, Scorpion is the obvious choice for the Stealth people, Unicorn may be overbalanced by getting all the good Cav, Crab would be a lot like Ulm, Dragon might be like Abysia, not so sure about them... not too sure about Crane, either. The Bloodspeakers would be a lot like Mictlan (powerful Blood magic, really light troops), etc. Crane might be like Arco, but without the powerful mages or the Elephants.
Anyway, I'll think more on it and get back to you.
