Yen journey : [link]

Name : Oda Yen
Age : Around 60
Weapon : Rusted Moon, his spear. He may possibly use his katana, in case he is disarmed, but since he's not quite a swordman, he won't use it unless it's a case of extreme emergency.

Like : Alcool, money, women when they shut up.
Hate : Arrogant people, foreigners (Baka Gaijin ! Japan is supposed to be a sacred land !), women who talk, especially when they are smarter than he, being disturbed when he's eating. He also hates bandits, and noblemen, wild beasts, young people, people with education, people which are taller than him and so on an so forth.
In fact, almost everything is possibly hated by Yen, who builded his life with frustration as a fundation.
But above all, Yen hates injustice. On him and on other. When defending his honor's remnants or protecting someone weaker than himself, he usually fight to the death.

CURRENT SITUATION

Oda Yen is somewhere near Hammatsu 's province of Japan. He works as a bouncer in a quiet inn (Tetsu No Tatsu Inn, abreviation TnT), and does generally more mess than retablishing the order, by beating customers, as an exemple.
Plus, he teaches to read and write his boss' daughter.

Important : The TnT inn is now under the protection of the Kurhoasukai clan
Important 2 : 2009 Sep. roosters have him in #1. I'm sure he won't have this title for too long, but that's a notable honor for this little ancient samurai...
