Rengoku Shinjurou ; 

SIGHT 

When he was younger, his vision was pristine. He does need reading glasses, though.

In an inebriated state, his vision gets blurry and disoriented pretty quickly. 

HEARING

With age, his hearing gets worse. He used to be able to hear every little rustle and whisper in his house ; but now his sons have to speak up a little bit for him to hear them clearly. 

Doesn’t like that his hearing is fading , so don’t mention it unless you want a glare and distasteful insult thrown your way. 

SMELL

Confuses his smells all the time, especially with food. He’ll think he’s smelling pork but it’s actually just rice with some spices mixed in. 

Doesn’t like the smell of flowers - it reminds him too much of his late wife. Specifically - lilies. 

Shinjurou has a natural musky scent that isn’t bad at all, but it’s drowned out by all the alcohol he drinks, and he reeks of that instead.

TASTE

Very obvious, but the man loves his beer and sake. On special occasions, he will buy his favorite sake which is a Honjozo-shu type of sake. It’s easier to drink and he will offer his sons a small cup if he’s in a good mood on the holidays. 

TOUCH

Shinjurou’s hands are very rough and worn, but they aren’t calloused since he stopped using his sword after his wife passed and he started drinking. Not known to many, his sense of touch is dull and faded in his feet and his face.

Rengoku Kyoujurou ;

SIGHT

Kyoujurou’s sight is one of his best senses - especially when it comes to fighting. Those large eyes of his can easily catch movement from far away. Out of the entire family, Kyoujurou’s eyesight is the best. 

HEARING

His hearing isn’t anything to really marvel at. Because of the battlefield, he’s naturally tuned in to try and catch soft sounds if he can. But Kyoujurou can get distracted easily and miss something.

There have been embarrassing times when he’s been so focused on something that Senjurou had to tug on his haori to get him to finally snap to attention. He had apparently been calling his name loudly from across the room. 

SMELL 

Despite how delicious it is, Kyoujurou doesn’t like the smell of meat. Raw, cooking, cooked- doesn’t matter. He will gag if he’s around rotting, spoiled meat. 

Other than that, the man himself frequently smells like the earth. Dirt and fresh cut grass- this might be because of how frequently he trains outside. 

TASTE

The man loves a good bento box ; especially if it’s made by his brother. He’s also fond of sweets - his favorite is green tea mochi. 

He also drinks on special occasions or during holidays, but he never gets inebriated. A little tipsy, maybe, but nothing to dull his senses. He hates not being aware of his surroundings, he’d rather be alert and ready for anything.

TOUCH

Kyoujurou has calloused, tough hands with neatly clipped nails. 

His hair is also quite soft, but it becomes oily rather quickly, so he frequently has to wash and rinse his hair for it to look the perfect way it always does. He hates it when it lies flat and sticks to his forehead. 

Rengoku Senjurou ;

SIGHT

Nothing remarkable about his sight, really. It’s painfully average, but as Senjurou grows up, he becomes slightly nearsighted and would also need readers like his father does.

HEARING

As the youngest in the family, his hearing is actually the best out of the three of them. Not many know that he hears mostly everything because he keeps quiet and doesn’t let it show that he might have heard that secret conversation you were having in the next room. 

SMELL

Senjurou smells like lilies. He doesn’t mind the smell, but he often masks it with pungent shampoos and soaps so that his father doesn’t get upset with his smell. 

When he grows up and Shinjurou inevitably passes, Senjurou would stop using the soaps. He loves that he smells like his mother.

TASTE

This one is also fond of sweets. For personal reasons, he would never drink alcohol, but he also hates the bitter taste of it. But even if someone offered him a fruity, sweet type of alcohol... he’d turn it down. 

Much like his brother, he also likes mochi. Vanilla is his favorite.

TOUCH

Soft, wonderfully small hands. Even as he grows up, his hands remain soft and small- but he has a few scars that you wouldn’t expect. They’re all from cooking mishaps.
