Why did you pick your faction?

We all have our reasons for picking our factions. Whether we think they're cool, like the warriors, or just randomly picked cuz we didn't care.

I'm really into medieval stuff (games, books, TV with that setting) and im a big fan of the TV show Vikings.

But I chose samurai. Not because I'm a weeb (I've never seen an anime nor do I know much about Japanese culture), but because it's new to me and I really like how the warriors fight and how they look.

So, why did you choose your faction?
