LOYALTY: Shibusen and "The world" in general.
KEY ATTRIBUTES:
PERSONALITY: Confident and boastful, Tendou will take every oppritunity he can to remind you how good he is at what he does, and he does a lot. One could compare him to Black Star, though Tendou is less of a show-off and definately less loud. He prefers to be called by his last name, considering it easier to say. He loves to cook, and considers himself quite good at it, but more than cooking he loves conflict. Tendou is always the first person to jump into an argument, usually with the intent of settling it peacefully.
Tendou is prone to talking in quotations, typically sayings of his Grandmother, and attempting to sound wise himself. However, should a situation require more than words, Tendou is ready to lend a fist to the cause. He also has a habit of talking down to people, and no matter his intentions he has no friends as a result. He feels no shame in this, but can't help but feel lonely at his age being devoid of friends. In his mind, a friend will be someone who walks a different path, but meets him at the same destination, that being peace.
HISTORY: "Grandmother said this: You are the model of justice. This world is yours to protect, so long as you walk the Path of Heaven." These are the words that Masanori Tendou introduces himself with and lives by. A homeless child, Tendou was taken in by an aging woman who he only calls "Grandmother." This woman who carried the name Tendou was a skilled warrior at one point in her life, but never had an offspring to pass her legacy on to. Naming the child Masanori Tendou, the enigmatic Grandmother took him in and trained him for 12 years before she passed away, teaching him everything she was taught. Honor. Respect. Power. Survival. Compassion.
During their 12 years of training, the Kishin emerged, and found themselves dealing with the Madness unleashed. The spiritual aspects of their training left them highly resistant to the Madness, and used their clarity to help anyone being driven over the edge in their town. During this time, Grandmother was attacked by someone who had given in to the Madness, and she was unprepared for it, becoming seriously injured in the process of defending herself. While she did recover from it, the effects on her health caught up with her over the 5 years that followed, causing her to gradually decline as she taught her final lessons to Masanori. She informed him that she was a Meister at one point in her life, and that he possess the ability to becomes a Meister himself. Determined to leave his mark on the world in the honor of his Grandmother, Tendou has enrolled at Shibusen as a Meister, hoping to prove his strength.
The Tendou family was sustained through investments which return a continious profit; when he left for Death City, he bought a very large house there, the idea being to find a partner of his own and two other teams to join him, and they can share the house.

ABILITIES:
ABILITY NAME: Standard Soul Perception
TYPE: Active
STRENGTH: Average
KEYWORDS: sense souls, wavelength
DESCRIPTION:
Mastering the basics of Soul Perception unlocks its full capabilities. In addition to being able to sense souls in a greater radius the character can now identify the characteristics of a soul, telling normal humans apart from those afflicted with madness as well as identifying Kishin Eggs, witches, and other irregular souls. The level of discernment isn't perfect, however; for example, telling the difference between a witch and a cat with unusually strong magical powers may be nigh-on impossible unless you know what to look for. Soul perception can now be used "on the go" and, with concentrated effort, it becomes possible to read certain surface-level aspects of a character's personality via their soul's wavelength.
ABILITY NAME: Standard Soul Purge
TYPE: Active
STRENGTH: Average
KEYWORDS: wavelength, melee
DESCRIPTION:
The standard Soul Purge, as taught to Meisters by Shibusen, relies on a Meister's ability to "weaponize" their own soul wavelength as a momentary surge of energy. At this level Soul Purge becomes a capable attack in-and-of itself, able to drive home the pain verses foes with hardened physical defenses. Soul Purge requires physical contact in order to do damage.
