Fortune Teller, the Voice of Fate

Likes: 

Fuan, his family, the other four servants of Fate. Walking. Butterflies and songbirds. The pavilion at Turtle House, jasmine tea, fox pups, and French fries.

Dislikes: 

Disruptions of destiny. Being unable to affect, prevent or foresee the actions of entities outside of Fate's dominion. Sea urchin roe, certain pungent medicinal herbs, automobiles, and modern clothes… He also doesn't see the point of television, though he's rather taken with the idea of radios.

Relationships:

In spite of Fate's desire for her servants to remain unencumbered by mortal affections, Jen is very devoted to both Fuan and his family. He's defied his patron more than once on their behalves.

Jen is Harumatsu's twin, Chidori's brother, Fuan's companion, and uncle to Koza, Kiji and Ryuko.

 

The Details: 

Jen is one of five endlessly-reincarnated mortals bound in the service of Fate. Like all of Fate's agents, he has the ability to perceive the weave of destiny and to manipulate the individual threads of cause and effect that make up the tapestry of reality underlying Creation. 

Generally a calm, gracious and well-spoken man, Jen can be a little prone to pretension, and he's apt to forget that others don't have multiple lifetimes of experience to draw on, or the ability to read the potential future outcomes of their actions. He's also disastrously near-sighted… as blind as a proverbial bat… though he never mentions the condition or complains about it. Following the tapestry's threads allows him to navigate well enough that strangers rarely notice anything unusual, though he does have to move very carefully and very slowly through crowded or unfamiliar areas.

On those rare occasions when he has to fight, Jen uses Silk Cutter, a Chinese straight-sword with a dulled blade. Being hit with this sword is no more damaging than being hit with a blunt staff, but Silk Cutter was never intended to cause physical injury. It was designed to sever the threads of an opponent's destiny, effectively removing them from reality and rendering them incapable of affecting the world.

He has a small, black, jewel-eyed pattern spider as a familiar and helper; C13-Q-21/a, whose original function was to repair threads tangled by its own master's existence.
