#Scent — Stranger to the Age

A "person from the future" falls into Sengoku Japan. They do not know how they arrived: passing through a shrine torii, losing the path in mountain fog, or opening their eyes after sleep. The only important fact is that they cannot go back.

A modern person does not know how to wield a sword. They have never worn armor. But they carry knowledge from hundreds of years later: first aid, tactical analysis, and the outcomes of historical events. That knowledge keeps companions alive on the battlefield. Instead of fighting directly, the modern person makes it possible for companions to fight.

The problem is values. "All people are equal" sounds insane in this age. In a world ruled by loyalty (忠) and duty (義), speaking of "human rights" and "freedom" makes someone a heretic or a mad person. That is why the modern person's Three Ways and Six Hearts conversion trigger is 2 times. They shake easily.

• Recommended Weapons: none (noncombat). If necessary, a dagger (self-defense) or improvised tools (thrown)
• Recommended Schools: none. No time or talent to learn a school
• Recommended Faction Traits: Akechi territory (respects scholars), Sakai (merchant city, tolerant of outsiders)

#Extreme Strengths

• Strongest noncombat class. Overwhelming check bonuses across Stratagem/Medicine/Negotiation/Perception.
• Maximizes allied combat endurance through Energy transfer. The party's "battery."
• The only class that directly requests information from the GM through historical knowledge.
• Supports Three Ways and Six Hearts management. Leader's Words restores allies' conversion triggers.

#Extreme Weaknesses

• Weakest combat power. Courage/Finesse/Physique all have penalties. Direct attacks are effectively impossible.
• Forced Breakthrough only for the Core Zone. If left alone in the Core Zone, instant death is a risk.
• Three Ways and Six Hearts conversion trigger 2 times. Value conflict makes them easy to shake, putting their identity at risk.
• Poor adaptation to the age. Does not know etiquette or status hierarchy. Situation penalties may apply to Negotiation checks before people in power.

#Typical Breath Pattern (5th Dan, Noncombat Support)

Count 12 — First breath:
 Information Warfare(3) → analyze enemy weakness, all allies attack+2
 → the modern person observes from the rear

Count 8 — Second breath:
 Energy Infusion(2) → transfer 3 Energy to a Front Zone ally
 + Squad Command(2) → same ally's next check+3
 → ally fights in an enhanced state

Count 4 — Third breath:
 Field Medicine(3) → recover Wounds for an injured ally
 → prepare additional transfer with remaining Energy

Remaining Energy: 11 - 3 - 4 - 3 = 1 (kept for emergency transfer)

#Three Ways and Six Hearts Conflict

The modern person's central drama is a clash between the values of two ages.

• "Loyalty (忠), or freedom?" An age where loyalty to one's lord is assumed. Speaking of "individual freedom" violently shakes the Hegemony/Duty axis.
• "Status hierarchy and equality": If they shout after seeing peasants crushed, they are a heretic. If they act, they move toward Demon; if they stay silent, they lose Benevolence.
• "The meaning of war": someone who "knows" war is meaningless. But to people of this age, war is life itself.
• "Coexistence with yoma": the only human who sees yoma without prejudice. That tolerance draws companions' distrust.
• "Return, or remain?" If the path home opens, can they abandon companions from this age? The final choice.
