Withdraw.
So many games to play, not enough time to catch'em all. And I need to catch up on homework and prep for exams. RL can sometimes crimp your style.
Keeping the Ninja though. I can work with him. Think he is a good concept. Strong code of honor, still inexperienced, willing to go that extra mile. Not evil, just business.

The Crunch is in profile
background:
Working as a young crewmember, then captain of his own vessel (a small sailing skiff but still, his own), he picked up languages easily and blended in wherever he went. His curiosity, coupled with skepticism, often put him in precarious situations to confirm his opinions. The dishonor was not in skulking or a healthy distrust but dishonesty and betrayal. He came to the attention of one seeking an apprentice. A master who knew what skills and tenacity to look for and how these manifested in society. Disciplined training refined his internal code.
Whereas the he rarely saw his province’s officials much less samurai, he knew their rep preceded them. He admired them from afar until his apprenticeship revealed these were the visible long arm of the law for the public benefit. He is to be the convenient accident or silent tap while you are sleeping.
How he comes to the village:
He is tasked to investigate persistent rumors of unrest, resolve if he could, recommend corrective actions if he couldn’t; and not draw attention to himself. Filled with anticipation, this was his first solo mission without support. No team, no safe houses, no disappearing act. His plan? To hide in plain sight as a wandering tinker; relying on his skills to craft and/or fix simple items. He wears simple peasant clothes, his donkey pulls a cart with the tools of his trade and numerous broken items salvaged from the previous village trash piles to be fixed & sold later.
Presentation:
He comes across as an earnest young fellow, trying to make his way in life and see the world. Lee is respectful of his elders, a sympathetic ear for all and willing to help in most endeavors. He explains his disappearances, and can often be seen heading out with pole in hand, trying out local fishing holes.
