One forgotten by society and only accepted by the hanging willow trees high upon the rocky mountains of Atsushi, or the low peaceful trees of the marshlands. Left to their own devices some only find solace in the pillowy words of poetry and philosophy. Although often not completely secluded from society they are a wandering ronin with much to say on their ideals.
Feature: Presence
The knowledge you posses is unknown to most people, after spending so much time consumed by your writings and documenting your findings in a journal. You carry a mysterious aura wherever you go that people notice. Whenever you step into a room, for better or for worse, people tend to notice. People talk and make note when you step into town, although you may not be the most suspect person room, drunk men might want a fight, a confused passerby might need an answer, or a guard might need some help.
