Edohe

Blacksmithing. The art of taking "black" iron from the ground and shaping it into metal implements to be wielded or worn. Armor, gauntlets, shields, blades, sickles, hammers... To some, 'tis simply a trade. For others, a passion.

For Edohe? An art form. The most difficult of all art forms, in fact. To Edohe, student of Senel Academy and apprentice blacksmith, blacksmithing is the art of arming the warriors who go out. Each piece of metalcraft is to be both beautiful and deadly, intricate and protective. (Even should he be played in a setting outside of Senel he will likely be primarily concerned with the crafting of arms and armor for those who combat natural threats, whether this be the iron of fantasy/medieval settings, magic-infused ores, or futuristic ceramic alloys and crystalline-based energy weaponry.)

This viewpoint has taken the already somewhat flighty tengu nature and turned it to haughtiness. The skills of the warriors cannot be denied, but what is a knight without his shield? An archer without her arrows? A berserker without his massive axe? Given his talent and what he's learned so far, Edohe has developed a slight sense of superiority that he regards himself as well-deserving of.

At the same time... he seems to take a good deal of care in both his work and who he gives it to. If someone's blade is dulling, if their helm is loose, there's a fair chance he'll soon be there with a new one to rather insistently offer to replace it with. He can be almost tsundere about it at times, insistent that his crafts and gifts are given simply because he can't stand to see someone go about with inferior gear... and the objection of "sentiment" will be met with the offending article being immediately snatched and inspected, and whisked away for repairs if he judges it won't serve!

Additionally, that superiority comes with a sense of responsibility. After all, if his creations are what stands between a warrior and the claws of a monster, then when they fail, whose shoulders can the failure fall upon but his own?
