IC INFORMATION;
Characters Name: Unknown. Simply called Kusuriuri or "Medicine Seller". The fandom has taken to calling him Kusu because Kusuriuri is sometimes hard to type.
Age: Unknown. Definitely an adult.
Canon: Mononoke
Canon Point: end of the anime
Species: Unknown, speculated to be a Kitsune, part or wholly.
Gender: Male
Orientation: probably heterosexual
History:
His start in Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror, considered part of continuity by the characters in Mononoke. http://ayakashijapaneseclassichorror.wikia.com/wiki/Bake_Neko
His own series, Mononoke: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mononoke_(TV_series)
Appearance:

Kusuriuri has two forms. The golden form is his other self, while the blue colorful one is his regular form. His other self can only be attained when the three truths about a mononoke are revealed. At Holly, he will only have his regular form, as there will be no mononoke to slay.
Regular form
Kusuriuri is incredibly distinctive. He has very distinct facial markings. It is unclear if these are some sort of paint, drawn on by mystical forces, or tattoos. The markings over his lips give him the appearance of a fox-like smirk. He appears almost mischevious at times.

He also notably has large ears. As most of the characters in Mononoke are highly stylized, their ears are often strange, but Kusu's ears are incredibly distinct. He is also the palest character in the series, at times appearing nearly white. Though rarely seen, Kusu also sports an interesting set of fangs.

"other self"
His other self bears similar features to Kusu's regular form. His markings are mostly golden and cover most of his body. They are also capable of moving and shifting.

Personality:
What Kusuriuri is exactly is unknown, though he has a lot of qualities which mark him as a supernatural being, particularly a kitsune given his cunning wit, the manner he holds his hands, his long purple nails practically sharpened to a point, and his pronounced canine teeth. When asked who he is, he simply replies he is a medicine seller and rather uninteresting. His sort of approach to his appearance makes him a bit of a walking contradiction, as he stands out more than anyone in the series.
Kusu is generally calm and levelheaded, even in the face of danger. On a regular basis, he faces supernatural beings, ayakashi and mononoke, but hardly seems affected even by fear. He encountered an umizatou, an ayakashi who creates illusions based on fear. While the rest of the cast was terrified of it and their own fears, Kusu confronts it, telling it he'll confess his own fear. What he fears most is a world without the three truths (truth, form, and reason), and in that sort of world, he would cease to exist. The umizatou shows him an illusion of his fear, and Kusu simply watches himself fade away, realizing it's simply an illusion. He doesn't succumb to the fear as much of the cast had done.
Other characters he's encountered how deadpan he can look sometimes. He's certainly not devoid of emotions; he simply appears to have incredible control over them. He tends to stare at people, often looking disinterested. He even answers questions with "Perhaps" and "Might be" at times, though when questioned about medicines, ayakashi, or mononoke, he is more than willing to hold a proper conversation. He can actually be quite personable, especially around women. When inquiring about a situation which may have caused a mononoke to be created, Kusu is incredibly straightforward and blunt, not willing to beat around the bush to pry information out of someone to learn the truth about the mononoke.
Even with his seriousness, Kusu has a rather interesting sense of humor. When he meets Kayo, a seamstress at a manor possessed by a bakeneko, he starts whispering things to her which make her squeal and laugh. He also enjoys teasing people. He teases Kayo for making odd faces. His humor sometimes comes across as snide, particularly for when he teases Odajima for saying Kusu was going to poison the family. He also irritates a mononoke in the noppera-bo story. The mononoke attempts to thieve Kusu of his face, but Kusu simply draws a henohenomoheji (sort of like a scarecrow face made from katakana) on his face, mocking the mononoke's illusion.
Even teasing, Kusu is incredibly intelligent and analytic. His knowledge about medicines and the supernatural is incredibly vast. He can use his medicinal understanding to create wards against ayakashi and mononoke on the spot as well as sell medicines to various people. It is his trade, after all. He is a firm believer that medicine cannot cure everything but may aid in alleviating problems, a belief which gets him thrown into jail by an upset client.
His knowledge of ayakashi, mononoke, and other supernatural beings is vast, shown particularly so during the umibozu story where he and a novice exorcist converse about them and inform Kayo about the different types and what they all are. He uses this knowledge to ascertain a supernatural situation and understand what may be causing it. Oftentimes, the mononoke will create illusions including doorways that lead nowhere, pushing people out of rooms, and even fish swimming in the air. Kusu observes these sorts of activities to understand the form of a mononoke. His observational skills particular show through in the umibozu story where he's the only one who notices the large mononoke eye watching the entire scene play out.
Kusuriuri also has a deep understanding of human emotion. Mononoke are born of strong human emotions, and to combat mononoke, he must understand the emotions which created the mononoke. He encounters a lot of cruelty in his adventures, including imprisonment, abuse, and sacrifice. Despite what he encounters, he keeps a level head.
He is a firm believer that no one should be controlled by another. He also believes in accepting oneself and not losing the self to others abuse and desires. The latter comes into play during the noppera-bo story, where he helps a despairing woman named Ochou realize that she'd sacrificed herself so much for her mother that she lost herself and eventually spiraled into despair, losing her true self and becoming a mononoke. He also tells her that she allowed her home to become a prison because she lost her freedom and her will to survive. A home can become a fortress if instead one chooses to never leave.
Kusu is relatively typical of his class, as well. During the Edo period in Japan, there was an incredibly strict class system, with samurai on the top and the merchant class, medicine sellers included, at the bottom. He speaks formally, attaching honorifics to all the names he speaks according to class. Even those of equal class he addresses as -san. He properly bows to those who outrank him and he almost always sits in proper seiza, which is when he tucks his feet underneath him and places his hands on his thighs. These are not signs of submission, but signs of respect for classes which rank above him. And even so, he often adds assertive particles to his statements, giving him the appearance of being confident.
And even though he is incredibly polite, Kusu is a bit of a dirty bird. He tells Kayo about romantic charms but only whispers them to her so no one else can hear. Presumably they're pretty dirty, given Kayo's reaction. He carries a book of ukiyo-e woodblock pornography in his backpack but is somewhat embarrassed when it is discovered.
Kusu also seems to have an interesting affection for cats. His first and last tales include bakeneko, ghost cats. His first encounter, he faces off against the bakeneko but it overpowers him, feeding off the rage and hatred in the household, and absorbs him. The truth behind the bakeneko reaches out to him, pulling him into the memory of how the bakeneko came to be. After seeing the abuse this woman endured, he told the bakeneko to not stop and show him the whole memory despite feeling some sadness for what happened with the woman and her cat. Even so, he still slays the bakeneko and lets the cat and the woman rest in peace. When slaying the bakeneko, he apologizes to it for its pain.
Kusuriuri does have an odd quirk that sometimes he speaks in segmented sentences, adding pauses in the middle of a thought when speaking. Other times, he speaks with long, regular sentences.
Abilities:
Kusuriuri has a great deal of unusual supernatural powers. His most noticeable ability is his ability to control things without touching them. He is capable of throwing ofuda around after manifesting them, as well as calling his sword to his hand, untying ropes, and opening drawers and doors.
Kusu also has an ability to handle illusions and sometimes see through them. In both the umibozu and noppera-bo stories, he encounters illusions created by ayakashi. In the former, he experiences the illusion of his worst fear but it doesn't shake him as he realizes it is simply that, an illusion. In the latter, he uses his mirror to break an illusion created by a mononoke.
Kusuriuri is also incredibly quick. He has an uncanny ability of showing up in other rooms, even when he's not nearby. His hand to hand skills are quick as well. He quickly blocks Odajima's foot from stepping on the salt barrier despite facing the other direction. He also fights the masked man in the noppera-bo story with ease, matching his speed and skill.
Kusu also has a strange sense of strength, despite appearing rather wiry. His medicine chest he carries around is no doubt heavy, though Kayo did carry it for a short amount of time. In Ayakashi, he filled a large jar of salt and picked it up with ease. When he handed it to Odajima, the man nearly fell over from the weight.
His hearing is incredible and this surfaces the most in ayakashi. He hears Odajima speak ill of him, even though the man is in another room. He tells Odajima that his ears can hear quite a bit, even the talk he wishes not to hear. Also in the same story, he uses the sound of the bells on the scales to locate the mononoke outside the room. He follows the bells as they indicate where the mononoke is as if he were looking at the scales directly, not on the other side of a wall.
Kusuriuri states in the final story that he himself cannot see a mononoke until its true form has been revealed. He uses his scales and ofuda to reveal a location of the mononoke and track it as needed. He does however seem to have a bit of a supernatural sense. He is aware when a mononoke is present, even if he cannot tell where or what it is. He seems to be capable with communicating with a mononoke, but that seems limited to how willing the mononoke is to speak its truths.
He also possesses another form that appears to follow the Buddhist form of enlightenment. More about his other form, in detail

First Person:
[ Kusuriuri still hasn't quite figured out how this phone works but he's gotten better at using it, at least. He sets it down on the top of a stepstool, only his sleeves are visible at first, a well-stocked apothecary store behind him, filled with all sorts of unmarked bottles and shelves with drawers. There's a lucky cat on the counter, beckoning for people to come in. But there's a problem. The picture is upside down.
When he realizes this, he flips it rightside up before walking over to the counter and takes to his knees, sitting back onto his feet in proper seiza. He places his hands on the floor, leaning over into a proper deep bow typical of a merchant of his time. He sits back up, placing his hands mid thigh. ]
Welcome, Holly Heights, to my new, fully stocked medicinal shop in the Shopping Gate.
[ It's an interesting thought, truly. A shop. A place to stay. He'd always wandered, going to where business took him. Staying in one place seemed rather foreign. ]
I carry everything from simple remedies to lotions, incense, and sleep aids.
[ it's even stocked with things he couldn't afford before! ]
If you are uncertain of what will suit your needs, I'll be happy to advise. I look forward to doing business.
[ he leans forward to prostrate himself properly once again before taking to his feet, fumbling with the phone, before turning off the camera. ]
Third Person:
The medicine seller hadn't quite grown accustomed to this place. He'd assumed it westernized by the attire. Even so, he was more traditional, continuing a traditional job in a modern world. Yet even as the Meiji era had set in, Japan was still a mix of traditional and modern. This place didn't quite have that traditional feel to it.
He stood on the porch a moment, taking in the scenery. He still hadn't wrapped his mind around the idea of having his own home. He simply wandered where his trade took him, following the money and the mononoke. Yet here, he sensed nothing. Ofuda no longer responded to his call. And even stranger, some sort of magic had shifted very specific features, namely his pronounced fangs and ears, into something more human. He no longer had his tools to detect mononoke to confirm or deny the information about the place even though he didn't feel anything supernatural about. How peculiar this place was. It was a mystery and he did enjoy mysteries.
Stepping off the front porch, his wooden geta clacking against the sidewalk, he trekked his way into the shopping district. He had little money to his name but he did require something to eat. The smell of fresh pork buns wafted through the air, grabbing his attention. Rarely did he have such extravagant food, but it did smell good. He stared at the money in his hand for a moment, debating on what to do, but he succumbed to the good smell and stepped into the small shop.
He stood at the door for a moment, staring at the person behind the counter. He seemed so lifeless and listless, as if driven by nothing. What a sad existence, pitiful even, though the medicine seller pondered what sort of situation the man behind the counter had. Was he forced by another into such a position? Servitude? Slavery? Perhaps he had nothing left. Impossible to tell simply by appearance.
He approached the counter, inquiring about the pork buns. The man behind the counter offered simple replies. While he certainly intrigued the medicine seller, it wasn't necessarily his business nor did he particularly need to pry into the situation. The man behind the counter seemed unwilling to speak about anything other than pork buns anyway.
Warm, fresh pork bun in hand, the medicine seller exited the shop, standing on the sidewalk for a moment. He took in the sight of the city once again as he enjoyed the pork bun, pondering more about the city. It was a mystery alright. Things seemed off yet he still hadn't sensed any mononoke or even an ayakashi. Perhaps it simply hadn't made itself present just yet, though without his scales or his sword, he wouldn't be able to know. He pondered the possibility that the human world no longer needed him and he was trapped in another. He frowned at the thought.
However, whatever world this might be, he certainly could at least delve into his trade. Any world, human or otherwise, could use medicine. He glanced up at the shops lining the streets. Surely he could make himself at home and open up his own shop.
