Tengo Azuri

**Tengo Azuri** is one of the five main characters in Scenarios. He serves as a force of mostly good, having been brought up within a strict samurai culture in the Eastern nation of Sedo, and has a strong sense of duty in regards to protecting humans. Tengo also values his blade, named **"Kuro Arashi"** *(or "Black Tempest"),* just as much, if not more, than he does human life - viewing it as a "spiritual guide" and "way of life" rather than a mere sword.

Following some 3 years of fighting in the **Modern Kalto-Motom War**, Tengo departed to the West , his goal being to assist in humanity's fight against demons - as well as other external threats to mankind - upon seeing the horrors of said creatures throughout his life. His comrades, and enemies, in the war dubbed him with the nickname of **"Rushing/Staunchless Wakizashi"** - in reference to both his weapon of choice and the ruthlessness nature he displayed in battle: though this nickname is fairly unknown outside of **Kalto**.

## Appearance

Tengo has pale skin and straight, dark brown hair that he keeps up loosely in a manbun (a lot of hair still being randomly arranged outside of the manbun), which is held together by a small black band - it reaches down to his upper back when let loose. He's about 6"1 and possesses a slim, lean build (as a result of strict training that he has carried out throughout his life) which complements his choice of clothing: a plain, black yukata that comes over one arm and hangs loose on the opposite side, due to Tengo missing his left arm, as well as a lighter black, half-sleeved, buttonless shirt underneath. His yukata is kept tight on him by a dark red obi that is somewhat thin. Tengo also wears plain, black trousers that are well-fit on him, alongside traditional wooden sandals - his sword remaining sheathed on his side below his yukata, which he always keeps his hand rested upon even when he's merely walking around or sleeping. Tengo also possesses a second sword that he carries within a golden sheathe, the Sedoneese phrase for "Destiny" engrained onto it, which is black on the inner blade with a red streak on the outer rim of the blade. His face often appears tired and in a neutral state with his eyes being half-lidded; a nonchalant aura surrounding him because of this, his mannerisms and the piece of straw he seems to always keep in his mouth. Tengo also possesses many, many scars across his chest and upper arms, though they remain unseen beneath his clothing.

### Modern Kalto-Motom War

During his wartime, Tengo wore a different attire and, though he still had many, possessed less scars across his body. He wore a grey, full-sleeved undershirt with armour composed of multiple metallic, white plates - primarily unfolding across his torso, shoulders and hips. He also wore a dark blue headband that kept his hair messy and flowing in the air as it wasn't maintained in a manbun during the war. Alongside the grey undershirt, Tengo also wore a pair of black trousers as he does now, however - over the course of the war - his clothes, especially his white armour plating, developed into dark shades of red as he wouldn't wash off the blood of his enemies. He also didn't have straw in his mouth during this war and still wore the same traditional wooden sandals. By the end of the war, Tengo's hair, skin and clothing were all fully painted in crimson - slowly having turned more red the longer he had been at war.

## Personality

Tengo has a kind soul on the surface and is friendly to most people he meets, often willing to help people out in activities they have difficulty performing. However, Tengo has a lack of particular respect for people (even the elderly despite his samurai upbringing) and is lazy when it comes to anything outside of swordsmanship; this often leads to his desire of helping people to conflicting with his slothfulness, and sometimes he'll even get randomly annoyed at the people he's helping as they haven't earned his respect - resulting in a strange relationship between him and the people he helps. Tengo also values a specific type of samurai honour very highly, being instantly respectful to those who display prowess in swordsmanship far beyond his own as well as legendary or amazingly crafted blades. As well as this, Tengo often restricts himself in fights for a vast multitude of reasons - but the one he particularly expresses most is him wanting to enjoy the fight to its greatest extent; however it is clear that he tries to avoid unneeded fights.

Tengo has also shown signs of xenophobia, holding **demons** and different races of humans to different standards than he does regular humans and being far more likely to engage in combat with the previously mentioned kinds of people than humans. In fact, he will very rarely fight against other regular humans and only ever fight them to the death if they have directly killed other humans. Tengo's reasoning for not battling without need too often and for usually not going all out even when in battle is so that he can keep his more sadistic, corrupted side sealed within - not wanting to allow the Tengo from the **Modern Kalto-Motom War** to return. Despite Tengo's efforts, his sadistic side still shows symptoms of itself in his day-to-day life; as an example, no matter what every single time his blade cuts through flesh he loves the feeling and craves it more.
