Personal Information
Appearance
Mask: An ageing Japanese man in exceptional health
Mien: Shiro appears as a bird-headed tengu of ancient Japan. He has white feathers in place of hair, and wickedly sharp claws.
Mantle: None
Personality
Focused but aloof. Shiro has a mission, a calling. He walks with an air of surety and unshakable confidence of someone on the path of their own destiny. This makes him a hard Changeling to approach, as your goals are almost certain to differ to his, and when that happens he won't hesitate to leave you behind. While your interests align however, Shiro will be a stalwart guardian, true to his word and his beliefs.
While he has his head in the clouds, and his eyes focused on the sun, those who oppose him will find he has a grounded body, well versed in a variety of ancient samurai battle arts, along with a few nasty magic tricks picked up in Arcadia.
Shiro claims to follow the practice of Shugendō, and believes his capture and torture at the hands of the gentry was destined to happen. He equates the Gentry to one form of Kami, who are natural forces of disorder pushing against the harmony of the world. These views would be quite unpopular with other lost, and Shiro has the good sense (or hard-won experiences at least) to know when to stay silent.
