.:. History .:.
Tenkuu, born Kazuki Denji, was born and raised in one of the noble families of the nation of Cizok. He was raised on the principles of honor and understanding, as well as compassion. Always taught to be just and fair, Kazuki choose to become a samurai of the shogun in hopes of keeping both the citizens of Cizok and his fellow Samurai in line. It was this attitude that first caught Mokuzai’s eye.
Mokuzai kept hearing stories of a Samurai that not only followed the strict orders of the Shogun and happily did the will of the shogun, but also cared for and defended the citizens against even unjust actions by his superiors. The Jade Samurai kept and eyes on the growing Kazuki, watching him gain rank and progress along as a Samurai and gain fame in the eyes of the people. With each passing story he heard of him, Mokuzai liked this Kazuki more and more.
Then something horrible happened to Mokuzai. His son, at the time the Violet Samurai, took a group of men with him to quell a disturbance that came up on the edge of Cizok. When the men arrived, Kazuki among them, they realized that the disturbance wasn’t of this world. A swarm of strange creatures attacked them, and all reports back to Mokuzai and the Shogun stated that all men had died.
The Shogun sent more men to settle the score with these strange beasts. As the new troupe of men made their way towards the last known location, they came across a very tired and beaten form of Kazuki. He claimed to be the only survivor, but using the style and skills passed down by his father, he had defeated the beasts and was trying to make it home to a man named Mokuzai.
Mokuzai was surprised to see the man he had been watching seeking him out this time. When they met, Kazuki bowed before him and extended the Violet Samurai’s Emblem and his Swords to Mokuzai. “He fought brave and hard, sir. He was proud to die in the name of the Shogun and yourself, sir Mokuzai.”
This man reminded Mokuzai of his son, from the way he held himself and his principles, as well as his looks were fairly similar. He asked Kazuki to raise, then challenged him to a duel. Not understanding, but being a proud Samurai, he accepted Mokuzai’s challenge.
To Mokuzai’s surprise, Kazuki not only lasted long against him, but Kazuki had also used powers similar to his sons own powers in the combat. Once the fight was over, Mokuzai approached the tired and nearly broken form of Kazuki.
“Rise, young samurai, and accept the charge that I place upon you. No longer will you be known as Kazuki Denji, you will serve me and claim the name Tenkuu, the new Violet Samurai, element of wind, member of the Elemental Samurai.”
Mokuzai trained him personally, and sent him on mission after mission with the other members of the group. Tenkuu seemed to work best with the Sapphire Samurai named Mizu. Mokuzai, fearing that their closeness might cause a weakness to either of them, sent Mizu off on a secret mission and Tenkuu was ordered to patrol the city till he was needed for something.
.:. Contacts .:.
He keeps in close contact with the other four members of the Elemental Order, but he is always open to make new contacts and more allies.
Mokuzai, a.k.a The Jade Samurai: Mentor
The Wood Element Samurai is the leader of the small group of special Samurai. He has grown Fairly attached to Tenkuu, almost like a father to a son (Mokuzai lost a son, the last Wind Element Samurai, and Tenkuu reminds him of his son). He rarely uses a sword (although he is extremely skilled with), he mainly focuses on his Bow.
Hinote, a.k.a. The Crimson Samurai
The Fire Element Samurai is a hot tempered young man. He loves a good fight, and has some extremely devastating flame powers, though he is not a favored fighter as he always goes over the top with his attacks, be them his fire element powers, or his strength focused Katana fighting style.
Koudo, a.k.a. The Golden Samurai
The Earth Element Samurai is the coolest of the group, also the second in command. Almost all his powers are focused on Defense of himself and others, even his Katana and Waksashi fighting style is a defensive style. This isn’t to say that Koudo has no offense, he is a giant of a man and is able to crush people with little trouble. He practices his defensive arts in hopes of leaving combat with less killings.
Mizu a.k.a. The Sapphire Samurai
The Water Element Samurai is a little chaotic and less disciplined then the rest, she is also the only female ever to attain the title of Elemental Samurai. She worries a lot about the moral ramification of her actions, she has even brought up the moral ramification of the countries actions to both the group and the shogun. While she would never side against the Shogun herself, she has been able to simplify with some of the rebels and their reasons for rebellion, even though she feels its the wrong action to choose. She is fairly deadly with a Katana, but her main strength comes from her Lance that she fights with. She is has also become quite attached to Tenkuu, even though as of late they have been sent in different directions.
.:. Battle Information .:.
He uses a fast and flexible style of combat known as Denkou Kendo. Its not different from normal Kendo styles, a fencing like style relying on Dexterity over Strength, except its slightly more offensive and some of the moves in it are designed to incorporate a lightning based attacks, which Tenkuu is known for.
Weapon of Choice:
Denkou: A katana named after his style of Kendo. It is specially designed to channel his ki and amplify his electrical attacks. It also has a metallic ball upon the end of the hilt, which allows for more flexibility in the ways that he can use his Raikou attacks when the sword is not Tenkuu’s hand. The blade has a slight violet tint to it, and the hilt is black cloth with Violet lighting bolts flowing around the grip.
.:. Talents .:.
Tenkuu, as being an elemental Samurai, has been studying and using the Element of Air in his combat styles for ages, over time these are some of the moves that he has mastered. Attacks and skills will be added to this on a continual basis.
Denkou Kendo: Other then a dexterous martial arts sword technique, on nearly the same level of Fencing, the Denkou Kendo also mixes in with it a greater concentration on speed and the manipulation of the currents of the air in order to create electrical shocks. With this skill, Tenkuu can Charge his blade with Electrical power to cause extra electrical damage to the target when he hits them (it also sparks off when hits metal). The strength of the Electrical strike is enough to cause the human muscles to contract for a moment, causing anyone struck by the blade to pause for a second. This fact allows Tenkuu to use his increased speed tactics to either end the fight in a second, or at the least throw in a devastating blow to his target.
Raikou: This is a more external form of his Denkou Techniques. He can manipulate the air currents to create and send electrical shocks through the air at people. This technique is easiest if a storm is happening over head, as he can use the already present electrical energy and manipulate where he wants it to go and who he wants it to strike. Another way he can use this power is with some concentration he can cause electrical build up to form under a person and shoot up to the sky (the way that a lightning bolt would strike in a storm), even if there is no clouds over head. He can also Electrify metallic objects and send short burst electrical attacks from his hand at someone within an average of 10ft from him.
Kaze: This can make for a devastating attack, as few come to except it. Tenkuu has decided to train in sword alone (not caring much for the bow and arrow), so he trained his will to create this attack. With a powerful swipe of his sword, he can send a burst of wind that slices through the air in such a way that it delivers the cut from the blade up to 80ft away.
Uindo: After coming into a confrontation with the Wooden Samurai (the one who tested and decided to have in inducted into the order, as he is the leader of the Elemental Samurai), and learning he had little to know defense against a skilled archer, he created Uindo. This a moments concentration, Tenkuu causes the currents of the air around him to whip about wildly in such a way that even the most skilled archers arrows get caught up in the gust before they even have the chance to reach him. He is currently trying to design this power to create walls of wind, in hopes of both protecting his fellow samurai, as well as provide a obstacle for those who try and chase him.
