Onishi

Prerequisite: Lawful alignment only   Artisans of the Far East - the Onishishu - pledge themselves to no nation, and in many respects, more closely resembles a monastic order than a crafting guild. Just as monks devote themselves to Rhalgr, the Onishi employ their skills in service to the people. In return, they ask but meager payment - a crate of foodstuffs; a token offering of coins etc.  
  • Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Insight
  • Language: Eastern
  • Tool Proficiencies: Two types of artisans' tools
  • Equipment: A set of eastern work clothes, two types of artisans' tools that you're proficient with, an Onishishu inro, an Onishishu garb, and a pouch containing 500 gil

Specialization

Choose from the table, or roll a d4 to determine your inro design. An inro is the symbol of the Onishishu; a traditional, ornate case used for holding small objects, worn around the waist.  
d4 Inro Design
1 Simple. I value humility and modesty above all else, and it shows in my choice of inro.
2 Homogeneous. In respect to my mentor, my inro is made to closely resemble theirs.
3 Artistic. My inro is a testament to my artisanal skill and eloquence, and on display for all to see.
4 Personal. An inro of my own design; unconventional and often scrutinized, but unique and personifying.
 

Feature: Measured Secrecy

You belong to a respected, but secretive collective of artisans from the Far East. Those who recognize your inro will know you as Onishi and treat you as an honored guest. However, you are bound by vow and virtue to remain discreet and accept only those gifts or payments which afford you a modest lifestyle.
