- True Name: Peerless
- True Name Location: The hollow of his left hip down to the inside of his thigh.

- Ears: Forever a virgin.
- Sexual Orientation: Asexual Aromantic
- Personality: Tenshi acts rude, brash, and stupid, taking on the persona of a rude idiot who hates everyone. While the 'hates everyone' part is partly true, most of this is merely an act to hide a cunning, manipulative snake who decided long ago that people are greedy, selfish, uncaring scum that he has no qualms about using or killing, though it should be noted that he finds the idea of killing a bunch of people needlessly to be a waste (if only because some of them might have been of use to him).
He is closest to his true self in the company of his Yakuza 'family' members, around which he is calm and collected, and he is careful to show deference to Sora, his boss. This respect also applies to those higher in the Septimal Moon heirarchy, while those lower than him who attempt to have him demoted or removed often go missing... - History: Tenshi was a happy, kind boy at one point. He enjoyed being polite, helping out (when people didn't tell him he was too little), and generally being a good guy. But years of bullying and watching his mother vilified changed that.
Wait, what...? Okay... Guess the beginning is the best place to start. Kevin Reach and Hanahime Aso had been dating for around about a year, and they decided it was time they checked their mattress compatibility. So, one night, they had a picnic near a golden rock. The date went about as well as planned, with the two sharing a romantic dinner, then lying on a blanket and yadda yadda, believing the protection would keep her from getting pregnant. But latex is not perfect, so Tenshi was conceived. Nine months (and a wedding) later, a baby boy was born into the world. A beautiful baby boy who just so happened to be half-Japanese/ Naturally, Hanahime was blamed for 'bewitching' a perfectly 'Merican man. Why not blame Kevin for falling in love with a Japanese woman? No one really knows, but it might have had something to do with him being a Marine sniper known for a rather nasty temper.
Shortly after Tenshi was conceived, Hanahime was approached by her brother with a pamphlet he'd received detailing a 'cure' for the nearsightedness that tended to show up every other generation in Kevin's family. Hanahime jumped at the opportunity after drilling a poor rep at the call center the number on the pamphlet lead to, and, in doing so, unknowingly broke a chain that would have bound Tenshi to another irrevocably.
It was during a particularly nasty bit of abuse his mother was suffering that Tenshi's name appeared. The boy was 10 at the time, and the abuser, a teacher, no less, ended up with a pair of scissors in her thigh courtesy of a boy who'd about had it with the snide remarks and thinly-veiled hatred. His only thought at the time was protecting his mom, and he'd been suspended for a year as a result, causing him to have to be home-schooled by his mother for half a year (at which point his father received orders to PCS to Okinawa.).
This gave Tenshi plenty of time to learn to use a new ability he'd discovered shortly after his name appeared. His words suddenly seemed to create different effects when he focused sufficiently. Naturally, the boy developed this ability in secret, and made use of it whenever he could to elude and even hurt those who intended to attack him. This also lead to him being sought out by a Septimal Moon recruiter, one who made an offer that was quickly refused. Before being chased off by Hanahime, the recruiter told Tenshi the offer was on the table for as long as the boy needed to decide to accept.
While in Japan, Tenshi made friends with two boys, Seiryū and Báihǔ, both sons of a local Yakuza leader. For the next three years, the boys played and trained together, and, on their last day together, they made a promise: If one was in need, he need only reach out to the others and they would do all in their power to help.
On his return to the States, life went back to the same old bullshit for Tenshi, his mother seemingly unable to catch a break. This went on for three more years.
At 16, Tenshi had had enough. It was high time his parents stopped getting blamed for his shortcomings, and Tenshi figured the best way to free them from blame was to no longer associate with them. It took only a few calls, some visits to the house of his Japanese friends, and a night his mother had off to set up the disappearance. Late one night, Tenshi's mother (his father was kept late by exercises.) found herself tied to a chair and gagged as she watched her son dragged away, fighting like a wildcat in a futile attempt to avoid being kidnapped. Or so she thought. In reality, it had been Tenshi tying her to the chair as a black car waited outside, its occupants looking nervously at their watches as the Mendax worked his literal magic to create a crime scene. As soon as he was satisfied, Tenshi left, an illusion spell creating the necessary noise.
It was several weeks of searching later that Tenshi left a 'body' to be found, an illegal black market clone made to lend credibility to the boy's demise, something Tenshi's new job was paying for in the form of Tenshi becoming a Yakuza assassin, his leash held by the mother of his friends, who also ordered him to get his face tattooed and its structure surgically altered to give him a different appearance. The crimes, committed through the use of magic made to leave damage that seemed mundane, each had the goal of breaking rival groups, and many worked out as planned, but the family Tenshi had joined still needed an edge.
It was Tenshi who came up with the idea. He would cash in the invitation he'd recieved from Septimal Moon, and work his way to the top. From there, the plan was to assassinate each of the other Voices and seize control of the organisation and all of its resources, then turn those resources toward underworld supremacy.
It has been several years, and, while Tenshi hasn't yet hit the top, or even become a Voice, he has been steadily increasing his influence within SM, a brand mark on his right shoulder serving to keep him on his assigned path by reminding him of the family with whom his loyalties lie. The future has yet to be determined, but one thing stands clear in Tenshi's mind. "The future will belong to the Aidea no Kensaku clan." - RP Sample: "Hai, Ojōsama. Watashi wa nana ni motodzuku mūn soshiki no shigen, tokuni hito no mono wa, hoka no shizoku no ue ni tachiagari de watashitachi no saikō no chansudearu to kakushin shite imasu. Kanōna subete no baai, watashi wa watashi no handora to shite kawauso jōyaku o konomudarou.", Tenshi said, "Watashi wa mata sore wa watashi no bakkuappu to shite Báihǔ o motte iru no ga kenmeidarou to omoimasu. Watashi wa Sentouki no mahō wa kyōryokudesukedo, watashi ga kangaeru kanōsei ga aru tame, samazamana sakkaku taipu to shite kako o mite dono yō ni kare ni oshiemashita. Nokori wa omoni, watashi wa kare ga tokuida to kiite nanika o yoke rerudeshou. Osoraku Zhūquè de kare wa, nin'i no mahi jumon o kawasu ni yakudatsu?"
"Watashi wa kono mondai ni tsuite kettei o shinraidekiru to katei shimasu. Nani ou ka, shikashi, Tenshi ni shippai shite imasen.", Sora dismissively stated, knowing that her little assassin dog would not knowingly involve her children in a situation he was not confident they could handle.
"Ojōsama, arigatōgozaimashita. Watashi wa anata o shitsubō sa semasen.", Tenshi responded before leaving the room. The buzz of the young man's cell phone alerted him to an incoming call as he muttered a spell he used to become invisible. "Moshi moshi?", Tenshi stated, his tone one of irritation as per his role.
"So, did she go for it?", came the voice of a nerdy hacker known only as Otter Convention, "Am I going to be your handler for this one?"
"Yes. Not sure why you want it so bad, but you're useful, so I pitched the idea. She basically told me to do what I will. Can I count on you to help me out, and, more importantly, not blow my cover?", Tenshi asked, his way of reminding his new handler to not call him.
"Roger dodger.", came the response.
"That's Chair Force, Otter.", the assassin muttered before hanging up. He had a couple more people to brief before taking up an offer he'd refused years ago.
Translations:
Yes, Milady. I believe the Septimal Moon organization's resources, particularly the human ones, will be our best chance at rising above the other clans. If at all possible, I would prefer Otter Convention as my handler.
I also think it would be wise to have Báihǔ as my backup. I know the Sentouki magic is powerful, but I've taught him how to see past as many different illusion types as I could think of. The rest would mostly be dodging, something I'm told he's good at. Perhaps with Zhūquè to help him ward off any paralysis spells?
I suppose I can trust your decision on the matter. Do what you will, but do not fail, Tenshi.
Thank you, Milady. I will not let you down.
