                Masterless Samurai [traditional japanese]<BR><BR>
                from a type of [KULT] members, the modern equivelent - a soldier who fights for causes felt honourable - without any in command of tse. A collection of Ronin are dangerous in that their ideals are persued until you kill/take down every last one of them, compared to a modern/postmodern military in that if you take a command structure down, the army falls apart. since there is no command structure, each ronin attempts to use their respective resources to accomplish whatever is desired. bound by the ronin bushido, a document sworn to by old school [KULT] ronins

                    This is a Japanese slang. Ronin means a person who failed college exam and will take exam again next year. Usually they try to attend a good university like University of Tokyo or medical college.
