Description Finally, I'm satisfied with Tenka's new clothes design. His old jacket was driving me crazy with the claw cuffs. Now to type like a maniac >v<

Edit: New template! Not sure if I'll redraw Tenka, if so then probably after his Ascended Form.


Name: Tenka

 

Age: 21 years old

 

Species: Hybrid (fox and water dragon)

 

Current Residence: Modern apartment close to Hayashi's cafe.

 

Special Abilities: Physical Strength (incredibly strong, can lift heavy loads), Endurance (can take quite a beating, but is weak to magic), Frost Breath (his is the strongest water based breath attack of all Spirits), Summon Blades (uses his bit to channel power into materializing weapons), Ice Shield (forms a wall of solid ice for protection, True Form shield erupts from shoulders)

 

Personality: An honest person who likes to keep things simple. At work, Tenka takes his job as bouncer seriously and will eject unruly patrons with his superhuman strength. His position and upbringing as a Guardian muted his personality, making it difficult to express his emotions. He does manage to break out of his shell and reach out to others, if not a little awkwardly. Sometimes Tenka doesn't know how to react to certain social situations, and other times he can be way too forward with what he's thinking.

 

Background: Born to a Spirit family with strong ties to the water element, Tenka was orphaned at a very young age when both his parents were killed in an accident. He was raised by the lone Kamaitachi (sickle weasel), Hayashi. Unlike some Spirits, Tenka is well adjusted to human life and can mingle with them without drawing too much attention. Scouted for his strength and powerful frost breath, he was given training as a Guardian, one who would watch over an heir or Lord. Although he was the favorite of the Water Spirits, Tenka has chosen to watch over his childhood friend and heir to Fire, Hibana.

 

One combat skill unique to Tenka is his blade bit. Hayashi's considerable blacksmithing skills were able to forge the bit from the scales of a long dead and powerful water dragon. It has the ability to channel Tenka's frost breath into physical weapons. In order to summon a blade, he must have the bit touch his tongue. The bit does not need to be in his mouth all the time, only when channeling magic into the blades. The weapons dissipate at Tenka's will. This unique battle accessory is saved especially for assassins or rogue Demons.

 

Tenka hasn't had much experience with relationships because of his tendency to remain distant. In truth he has been interested in Hibana for years, but is afraid of deepening the relationship for many reasons. A misunderstanding before his departure to train two years ago also deeply hurt Hibana, which led to the fiasco with Seiji. Currently, Tenka and Hibana are in an active relationship, although the latter has not been entirely forgiving. Sometimes it's hard to tell who's more dominant, but Tenka hides an alarmingly possessive side of himself.

 

Strengths: Tenacious, problem solver, is willing to put others above his own needs

 

Weaknesses: Difficulty expressing himself, does not stand well against criticism, can be lazy sometimes

 

- Tenka's tongue is blue, even in human form.

 

- He works at Hayashi's cafe as a waiter and bouncer.

 

- Likes to listen to music when off duty.

 

- He has matching earrings like Hibana's, except his are on his right ear and the gems are blue.

 

- Even though he is very strong, Tenka is also clumsy. He has broken innumerable dishes at the cafe, much to Hayashi's ire.

 

- It takes a lot to make Tenka angry. He usually keeps a cool head (y'know, being an ice user and all...lolololol), but if anything should harm Hibana or the relationship he has with him, Tenka can become a dark and violent person.

 

- Gets insanely jealous whenever Hibana flirts with others. He is a little cool with Miyu.

Thanks! I wasn't going to give Tenka a suppressed form, but he *would* look pretty good as a pomeranian

And yes, his outfit corresponds the most to his true form out of all my other characters so far
