## Introduction

A mysterious individual. A wandering swordsman of unknown origin, some say they saw him stepping off of a ship from the islands of the Turtle Court, this may be the first sighting of the one that goes by Kioshi.

He travels from town to town helping those in need and has begun to build up a bit of a reputation. Due to almost never giving anyone his name, people have started calling him by numerous nicknames such as "White Wanderer", "Paper Ronin" or "Thousand-Fold Samurai".

No-one fully seems to know why he wanders, some speculate that he is looking for someone...

## Appearance

A High Elf of average height (5'10) and of slim build. Their face seems quite weathered and slightly gaunt, as if they have been traveling for long periods, heavy eyelids and rings around their brown eyes, giving an almost permanent "tired" look. His black, shoulder length hair, again quite unkept, is partially tied up into a ponytail with a leather strip.

Dressed in the traditional style of a swordsman originating from the eastern Turtle Court nation.

White male kimono and hakama, with cerulean edging, that looks like they have been worn for a while and have become grayer and slightly tattered in places over time.

   Around the waist is a matching cerulean obi sash with white and leather elements. Several other items can also be found at either sides of his hips. On the right side is a small satchel containing various components and a seemingly limitless supply of craft grade paper. Also on this side is a thick scroll made of several pages, rolled and held together a leather strap and two rings, one of wood and the other of a silver metal. On the left side, slid into the obi itself, two black lacquered sword sheaths. One for an o-tanto and the other for an o-wakazashi. Both of the blades have golden brass tsuba hand guards and white cloth wrapped grips.

For footwear, simple rope-tied, sandals.

There are also three other items, each made out of a strange fibrous "paper-like" material. The first a traditional conical hat, usually pulled down to obscure the eyes. The second a cape-like item that doesn't seem to flow very well in a breeze, heavily starched perhaps? The third is a thick crumpled scarf that covers the chin and mouth, it does not look particularly comfortable.

## Relationships and Companions

#### Kagayaki

After seeing the individual heal and help the needy, Kioshi felt a sort of kinship with them. By intervening in a back-ally incursion between Kagayaki and some unknown assailants, Kioshi's o-wakazashi became broken, leaving just the hilt.

#### Tatsu

Not directly connected to the large Human, via a loose association with Minute to Midnight. Kioshi finds this persons attitude and morals to be quite dangerous.

#### Minute to Midnight

After encountering the Tabaxi in a port town a while ago, he finds himself being followed by her. Even through his protests she continues to follow him around...

## Past

No-one seems to know where Kioshi comes from. Rumors say that he possibly came from the Court of the Celestial Turtle. Who Knows?
