Rintaro Ube

**Rintaro Ube**, also known by his Slayer name "Tempest" is a supporting character in Eclipse: Legacy of the Slayers. He is a member of the Andromeda Squadron as well as their main undercover agent.

He was born on Terra and enrolled in the Kyoto school of Magic, one of Terra's big three Magic schools. After graduating he was eventually discovered by Martin Wilson, the captain of the Andromeda Squadron, who persuaded him into becoming a Slayer after learning of his affinity for magic.

Rintaro is Andromeda's strongest offensive magic user, his magical affinity is Lightning Magic. He is also considered by Colossus to be the second strongest member overall.

## Appearance

Rintaro is a young Terran man with light brown short hair in a fringe up hairstyle. He has bright electric blue eyes and a cleanly shaven face. Rintaro always seems to wear a big smile on his face and his expression is often extremely warm and capable of lifting the mood of others around him.

Rintaro typically wears a dark gray sweatshirt with the mark of the Andromeda Squadron sown into the front, as well as Black work pants along with a toolbelt that is more often than not empty because of Rintaro's refusal to use weapons in combat. He also typically wears an electric blue headband.

1. In Chapter 1, Rintaro is seen wearing a dark blue cab driver's uniform with golden buttons as well as a cab driver's cap and sunglasses as a part of his disguise.
2. During the battle against Busco P. Velvet, Rintaro gets his nose broken and thus wears a bandage over it for a while after.

## Personality

Rintaro has a very friendly but confrontational personality. He is friendly to those around him most of the time, wearing his trade mark smile everywhere he goes. He often lifts the spirits of his teammates as well as the people he speaks with, but those experiencing a bad day or who are simply in a bad mood often find Rintaro's chipper demeanor annoying. Rintaro is also extremely social, and he often wanders around town in search of people to talk to.

Despite his outwardly friendly personality, Rintaro is also a very confrontational person. He will not hesitate to fire back. If he or one of his friends is insulted, Rintaro will counterattack with twice the ferocity, he will often also tease and torment people he dislikes verbally. The same goes for physical confrontation, where he will not hesitate to use Violence to defend himself or his crew, although he rarely escalates the situation, only fighting as a form of defense and only using a proportional amount of violence to what his opponent had used, never going any further or doing anything worse than what the enemy had already done.

Rintaro refuses to use weapons in combat, but the reason as to why has not been revealed yet. He also loves asian food.

Rintaro is revealed to garner a vehement dislike and distrust towards the Alliance, something which he attempts to hide but characters such as Amalia Van Ornell were able to pick up on quite quickly.

## Relationships

### Andromeda Squadron

#### Martin Wilson

Rintaro trusts and admires Colossus. Ever since the day the two first met, Rintaro has had great respect for his boss as both of them were seemingly betrayed by the Alliance and suffered because of it. Rintaro also admires Martin's mental strength, his cool demeanor and his friendliness and compassion toward others. They are both very similar people, and as such get along extremely well.

### Cerberus Squadron

#### Faux Monsier

Rintaro is openly disdainful toward Daemon. He sees Daemon as a disgrace to the Slayer Brotherhood, and a bad role model. Rintaro commonly mocks Daemon whenever he tries to instigate an argument, and is reportedly one of the only people who is willing and capable of standing up to the man. Rintaro will also not hesitate to defend his Squadron from Daemon, as seen in Chapter 1.

## Bounty

Rintaro has a bounty of 1,200 Alliance Credits, or 600,000 Plaques on his head. He is wanted dead or alive in the Alliance for "Usage of forbidden magical arts and evading the law."
