Asahi

Hidaki Tengan is the current Chairman of Tengan Technologies, a branch of the Tengan Enterprises conglomerate. Hidaki also goes by the name Asahi, the name of an extremely advanced power suit that allows the wearer various abilities

He is the founder of the secret superhero group Kōdona Fuan to Kyūjo, a group later nicknamed Supersamurai by the media.

### **History**

Born in Central Tokyo to Isao Tengan in 1989, Head Chairman and CEO of Tengan Enterprises, Hidaki didn't have a childhood like many other kids in his private school, growing up inside buildings and boardrooms and never played outside with other children, playing on his own, when he wasn't being made to study. His father was rigid and stringent with him through his early school years, trying to encourage him to become more of a genius than he was; It was fair to say that Isao was constantly busy, with only his mother, Minato truly caring for him, especially after their second child Yumi was born. However when Hidaki was 7, Minato, depressed and sick of a loveless marriage with Isao left, though she stayed in regular contact with her son, Isao did not like her seeing the boy.

After a legal battle with her ex-husband Isao agreed that Minato could look after the boy and Yumi in a positive, non-business environment and started a new school in Minato's hometown of Chichibu just northwest of Tokyo. Here he found the atmosphere more relaxing and he could concentrate on his personal projects, although he still felt out of place, he was still smarter than even some teachers at his new Shiritsu Kagemori Elementary.

While he was bullied for a few days, Hidaki was defended by young Haru Yoshida, who fended off two older kids with just a stick; The two became best friends when they began talking of their family, and how Haru's father was also always working and seemed to care very little for him.

By the time he and Haru were 12, his young sister was 8 and also something of a little inventor, although she was more interested in her archery club.

It was on their move to Junior High when Hidaki and Haru encountered Haku Mura, a lonely, pale and sickly-looking boy who was being severely beaten by three boys; when Haru intervened, his cybrid abilities had began to partly manifest, and his agility and reflexes help him scare away the boys.

### **Powers and Abilities**

#### **Powers**

Hidaki has no superhuman powers himself, but is a considered an intellectual savant, especially in the fields of mechanical and material engineering, robotics and nanobotics, mathematics, physics, quantum energy studies and thermodynamics.

He uses the Asahi suit to grant him various capabilities including flight, enhanced durability and strength and the ability to absorb and redirect energy as crimson plasma blasts.

#### **Abilities:**

**Martial Artist:** Since his time as Asahi, Hidaki has learned various basic martial arts and self defence techniques, but usually relies on long-distance and one-hit attacks.

**Genius Intellect:** His intellectual capacity is far above the average at around 330 and has an innate ability to understand complex mathematical equations, mechanics and physics, he has a unique capability to problem-solve that requires a sense of heightened situational awareness. From an early age Hidaki has been interested in the mechanical and electronic production of his family's company and outpaced his father's intellect at his age by the time he was 11.

**Invention:** He can design and create advanced of technology from scratch, understanding the basic production and assembly processes, mathematical formulas and algorithms required to assemble new forms of technology, from mechanical to electronic systems, materials and computer hardware and software.

**Gifted Programmer:** Next to software savants like Drath and Robin, Hidaki ranks as the third-most comparable, able to easily create new software and programs with ease

**Multilingual:** Apart from his native Japanese, Hidaki can understand, read and speak a verity of other languages fluently including Chinese and Mandarin, Korean, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Greek.

### **Inventions**

**Inari: (I.N.A.R.I)** The Integrated Neurological Adaptive Rapid Intelligence is an AI system created by Hidaki and named after the Shinto goddess who mediates everything in Tengan Technologies.

**Kamisaibo:** Literally "god cells", Kamisaibo are tiny reactor-like battery cells that can absorb and essentially 'metabolise' almost any form of energy throughout a connected system, acting as a "smart generator"; the primary use of this technology is to distribute energy to the nanomechanics of his suit. However these cells are considered too unstable for general public use, but provide enough of an energy flux to power the weapons systems on the Asahi unit and it's variants.

**Hecatoncheires MLCA:** Hidaki was assigned to create a experimental Multi-Limb Containment Appendages and Bipedal Security Drones (BSD) for use on the Tartarus Project on designs originally sketched by young Teddy Rodriguez, but later Hidaki handed over the designs for the system to Teddy when he was old enough and began working as a VALER intern.

**Project Fūjin:** Studied the effects of thermobaric plasma via small microject streams which could be used as a miniaturised form of high-speed aerial propulsion.

**Project Ningyōbot:** Literally "Dollbots", Hidaki often experimented with robots and cybernetic augments, some of his more advanced projects included the self-aware synthoid "Subaru" created using XNA fibres and nanomechanics to simulate organic components with "car-like" attributes. Hidaki's Ningyōbots have since become security bots discused as humans for both Tengan Technologies and Enterprises proper.

**The Asahi Project:** The culmination of various experimental technologies, including energy generation and redirection systems, robotic and nanobotic augmenting and high-energy thermometric microjet flight systems.
