Assassin Fuzen

📖 Assassin Fuzen's Story

Fuzen means incompleteness, and it was a joke at his own expense before it was a name. He was the blade they sent for the jobs that had to be certain, and he was certain, right up until the wars ended with one last name still on his list and no lord left to collect it for. An assassin without a target is just a very focused man with a knife and a grudge that has nowhere to land. So Fuzen drifted into the dojo, where he sharpens things nobody asked him to sharpen and watches the door out of habit. He is patient the way a debt is patient. The contract is still open. It will always be open. He has made his peace with that, mostly, which is to say not at all. He keeps a strict training regimen, beautifully planned, that he has never once finished, on the grounds that finishing things was never really his gift.
