Gabara Tendou (AWFUL VERSION)

Gabara Tendou is a member of CAKE. He is the muscle of the group as an attack team, and prepares the most special items at the bakery.

Due to his role as the team's brawn and his personality, Gabara is known as "the butter" of CAKE.

## Appearance

Gabara is a slightly buff, dark-skinned Japanese man. He usually hides his muscles with baggy pants and his "lucky coat" over his shirt, which is a white winter jacket. He has short, but messy hair and hazel eyes. Many say his face looks younger than his body.

## Personality

Though tough, often oblivious to things that discomfort others, Gabara is somewhat high-strung, and gets excited easily. On the job, he tends to rush in head-on, and often fights aliens with his bare fists. Hit first, ask questions later. However, when working with his teammates, he adapts well to many strategies.

Gabara takes cooking/baking very seriously, and is surprisingly scientific in the kitchen. The recipes Wakako invents wouldn't be nearly as good without Gabara's coaching.

Gabara suffers from mild PTSD from his mother's death and Alien Empera's attack, and as such occasionally falls into Misao Mondo-esque bouts of depression. However, they're becoming rarer and rarer as time goes by, and deep inside, his heart is pure and golden.

## History

### Pre-Ultraman Lightning

Born and raised in Tokyo, Gabara's father was a professional fighter, while his mother was a famous chef. As a child, he had wanted to become a chef like his mother, but was pushed by his father to follow in his footsteps. Gabara fought his father's wishes and learned to cook from his mother until her sudden death by heart attack. Saddened, Gabara gave in to his father's wishes and began training. However, he never came to enjoy it, and continued to practice his cooking skills in secret.

At some point, Gabara met and befriended Wakako Narashi, who was visiting Tokyo to see the Phoenix Nest.

When Alien Empera descended upon Earth and engulfed it in darkness, Gabara snapped. The world was ending, why shouldn't his time with his family? He ran from the shelter his father was bringing him to and out into the open, where he saw Mebius' death at Empera's hands. Gabara collapsed in despair, when a bright light caught his attention, and he looked up to witness to the birth of Phoenix Brave.

Witnessing the bonds of Earth's heroes and the defeat of the ultimate evil put a spring in Gabara's step. With the military having renewed his faith in the world, he vowed to become a member of the next attack team that appeared after the fall of Crew GUYS. And what would it happen to be, but an organization where he could not only defend Earth from monsters, but also share his cooking skills with the world?
