Background: Not much is known about Oeshi and his companion other than that they are of European decent. Something happened that both avoid talking about at all costs. It's speculated that whatever it was caused Oeshi's premature greying and Jarumi's blindness. Now, Oeshi makes his way selling pottery and fine china he procures during his wanderings around Japan.
Information: Jarumi wears his mask to try to intimidate bandits and hoodlums, as per Oeshi's orders, and rarely takes it off due to his "master" being cross when he does. One has to wonder what lies under that mask...
Fighting: Jarumi is blind, relying on hearing and smell and sensing vibrations etc. He's quick and nimble and resourceful. He has no qualms about violence, happy to fight like a dog is happy to catch a frisbee. He's rather stupid, though, and works best when given audio queues from Oeshi's various musical instruments, and much harder to distract when being directed and commanded. Oeshi himself is a lot less inclined to fight, but if need be, he usually keeps a bladed weapon upon his person for emergencies where Jarumi is indisposed.
Personality: Jarumi is a fan of things that smell good, Candies and cakes and sweet things, puppies, kittens and baby goats, and playing with small children when he's not hacking into a man's torso with an ax. He's friendly and polite, and speaks of his "Master" often. It's clear he's either brain damaged or simple, and has trouble remembering things, but is filled with enthusiasm for the things he does remember.
Oeshi is a gentleman by nature, liking things clean and orderly and carries the air of a nobleman about him, which is funny considering he spends most of his time traveling around in a cart pulled by his manservant/companion. He enjoys music, poetry, and the arts and fabulous fabric and collecting clothing. His age is unknown, but he appears to be in late twenties to early thirties.
I also shake my fist at you, because I think I may have to rearrange a character for SDL once life de-busies a bit. *shakes fist*
