» Appearance Written: Growing up in the deep south side of the USA, located in the inner city home of one of the most popular locations in the state. Tentō spent a good amount of his days outside. Playing basketball at the local basketball court, or attending one of the city's famous hangout locations in the tourist area with his friends while they listened to music. The various amounts of time outside and activity ensured that his physical body was in shape, slightly muscular from the physical activities and contact, but lean still, not bulky, yet still being 200 lbs. The combination of that with his 6ft height made him a handsome young man. He is of African American descent with a part of his heritage being Native Cherokee. All the time outside didn't not both his chestnut-brown skin through. His eyes are a deep brown, his black hair in the shape of low twists faded on the side. He kept his facial hair nice and neat, keeping it in the shape of an extended goatee that connected fully. Allowing it to be full, but low and outlined smoothly.

I. Personality


» Personality: Tentō is one would call an intelligent perverted gentleman. He was raised to be respectful to everyone he meets and to judge them by their character and actions, sadly that would not help with his eyes though. A sociable man that at times could be distant and shy if put in a situation he was not comfortable or confident in. He did give his all in those situations, or any task that was given to him though.

A jokester, an attitude that at times really helped some of his friends feel better when dealing with sad news, he always tried to support them in any way he could, be it giving advice, listening, or just letting them vent. He did it all genuinely with effort.

This excessive goofiness did hurt him at times though, for most people could not handle his laid back attitude most of the time, considering him not appreciative of life, or duty, or a purpose. However, he did, he just felt like there was no need to be stress and stiff about the day to day matters that went and came that he already had plans for or had experience. He only cared to really show his seriousness for the situations that called for it, and that rarely happened.

But that does not mean he doesn't care about something or has pride in himself, it means the exact opposite actually. His mental state is that he will do what he needs to but only give the most important things most of his attention.

I. History

» History:


Tentō Zefā grew up like a normal kid, well, as normal as a kid could grow up in a single-parent home in a low-income community filled with drugs and gang violence. His father passed while Tentō was still an infant, leaving only his mother and two older sisters in his life. The temperature was hot and humid, rain falling almost daily as if to be a representation of the gloom within Tentō's family. The only small piece of peace the child could find was at times, the walks through his neighborhood where he cleaned up litter along the way, thinking, sometimes taking a longer path, and enjoying the peaceful scenery and sound within the nearby forestry. He took those moments as healing, and when he was older, close to the start of his teenage years, he took solace in interacting with the children that were younger than him as he watched the community he had grown to know to become more decayed and hallow steadier and steadier as the bodies accumulated from guns and drugs. The kindness and support between each person he interacted with was their own form of protest, and to Tentō, hope. He was critical of those he saw in the same situation as him and helped them be on their own path that would lead them away to the fate of those before them, but he could only do so much and they would have to desire it to, and thankfully, some did.

However, some didn't. And from the cost of seeing people betrayed, tossed aside, killed, Tentō had grown to know the deep meaning of caution and suspicion. The loss of family members stocked flames of rage, towards individuals and the environment that caused the event. Events that replayed over and over like a tape rewinding not just for Tentō and his family, but for everyone. A cycle that was a curse and motivation for him as he steadily grew from a child, to a boy, to a man. The various life lesson imprinted values that would be carried onto Tentō's soul. Grit, dedication, honesty, and humility. This many values and more would be with him in the way he stepped, he talked, and thought. He would treat everyone with initial respect, and based on those actions and things done to him from them, he would respond and adjust himself to them. But still, he considers all life equal to him, for life grows in the same cycle regardless of the person, and that everyone has had their own path and hardships that has shaped them.

Through these lessons of life he was given, and through his own effort, he was able to grow up fine. He went to school and university, found finds that he cherished and cared for. Found a career that he could enjoy doing, a product/industrial designer that focused on medical and community development and was about to be married to a women he loved deeply. He was much better than he was as a child, physically and emotionally, and fortunately, some of his friends from back home and children were able to find that end as well. Altough some weren't. And from his knowledge that he was a "lucky" one, he gave back. Occional travels back home would be spent visiting family and friends, relaxing and seeing how everyone was doing. The other half of the time he would spend volunteering in any way he could, be it helping clear up after disastrous, donating materials or items that were in need such as food or school material. Back home, he would also donate time as a volunteer for troubled youth, even though he was only 24 years old, he felt that he was making a genuine impact in some people's lives long term. And he was happy, he was now married

And then, unfortunately, a pandemic happened. It crept into their lives quickly and silently. Towns were shut down, jobs lost, and people live's lost. Unfortunately, Tentō was one of the people who were sickened. Spending the last few months of his life in the hospital due to complications of a chronic condition he was diagnosed with as a teen, he died unable to see or goodbye to his newlywed wife.

Afterwords Tentō found himself in the afterlife, he assumed. He was not a religious person and so, everything was shocking to him. He was not sure where he was exactly, heaven or hell or somewhere else between. But he did know, that this was place was busy, filled with people, and strangely felt like regular life on earth. People were...well still people. Food and water was still needed for some reason, and he didn't see any demons or angels. He would spend some time confused wandering around until someone garbed in a robe discovered him. After some explanation, and food that came with the realization that he was starving, an unknown fact due to the shock factor. He was given some details about everything. Something about a Shinigami; someone who helps other souls move onto the Afterlife and fight something called a, "Hollow", things that killed/ate these souls and did not allow them to pass on. Given his core feeling of needing to serve and give back still within him, he didn't have much choice. And so, he decided to join the academy. He has grown over the few years that he has been here, but he is not entirely sure if he is ready or good enough to graduate yet and enter the Soul Society as a Shinigami though. Time would only tell.

Natural Abilities:

Competent strength/hand to hand combat/Aptitude in Movement: During Tento's time valve, he spent it honing his body and mind by practicing the art of combat. In that time he chose to study Taewando, Brazilian Jin-jitsu and Muy Thai. And over the time of five years he had increased his skill to the point that he had earned the rank of 1st degree of black belt in all of them. Fierece and strong in his own right though, Tento was only scratching the surface of his potential in the martial arts at te time of is death. The care of his body and mind together allowed him to break Five 9 in wooden boards with a single strike, the sharpness of his moves and power has only increased ten fold with his exposure to the after life and his spirit energy.

High awareness/perception: The time of five years doing material arts had given him a lot of exposure to hand to hand combat even more so with perception. The tension of the body, breathing, the slight hint from eye direction; all were used by Tento to learn when his opponent would attack, how, and when. It had gotten to the point that he could image the movement of them, and then break it.

Quick adaptability/critical thinking: Tento's experience practicing Taewando, Jin-jitsu and Muy Thai for over five years in the human world during his living time had done many things for him, one f which was training his body to respond to incoming strikes but as well as to quickly analysis the move done to him or trap he found himself in him. Now dead, he found that the experience had transferred with him, becoming a notable trait of his. During battle, he is able to keep himself calm and quickly think, acting like a hunter and an artist in his action, seeing, creating and deleting various openings and weaknesses of incoming attacks.


Iron will: Tento's time in the living world, fighting as a martial artist as well as the context of his upbringing made sure of one thing for him; he was a fighter. Be it was his stubbornness, hope for a better, or simply pride, the young male would not fall down to anything easily. If he wanted something badly, he would work for it, if he had to fight for something he would, tooth and nail. The competitions tested him over and over, and no matter the number of times he fell, he would get back up. WIth a stronger fire and fierceness than before. His body could push his body past the limits it told itself, but even more, his mind would not break. He would not waiver in his convention, he would not act with unsure actions, only with what he thought was best for him and his belief. Given this, his ability to get up when beaten to a bloody pulp has become one of his stand-out traits, as well as the resolve to lead and at times, give others the resolve to stand when they could not alone.

Vizard symptoms: An unknown part of Tento, even to himself. At times when the young man is filled with extreme rage or in a death situation, his will to live seems to do something to him. Right now it is subtle, but there is a seeding of something, different, with his spiritual signature. Dense and fierce, and when fighting to live it seems to push his power to another level from before, unfortunately, it will make him more violent towards whatever he is facing. Unbeknownst to him and the others, it is a hint of hollow energy.

I. Role Play Sample


» Roleplay Sample:

As he went to work, Fuhgahkra considered the options possible of how to aid the revitalization of the farm crops. From his time of taking care of plants in his family home and examining plant life in the territory of Konoha, he was able to understand some of the physical differences between them and learn of the requirements for growth. His nature element chakra understanding would also aid in this process. Making his way with the supplies to the first row of plants.

Examining the soil was the first task at hand, and with a gentle scoop of his hands, Fuhgahkra was able to see that in some spots. The soil was getting a good water quality, while the others were not. More importantly though was that it appeared that the soil was overall, infertile. With the conditions they were in, it was easy for Fuhgahkra to understand that predicament. First focusing on the spots that had salvageable he focused his earth chakra there. Using the fee fundamental knowledge he had with its exertion to till and attempt to re-jump the healthy bacteria in then. However, there was only so much he could do and it would be up to Soji's insects to aid. With the unsalvageable soil, Fuhgahkra began to place pieces of seeds he brought deep into them. Concentrating his plant chakra in his hands, he tried to make the seed speed up and decompose, the seeding would hopefully act as a compost without drying out as fast.

Stepping back for a moment and admiring the work he had done so far, Fuhgahkra decided to give himself a treat. Reaching into his bag, he took out three milk chocolate shuriken to eat. Snapping them and eating them one by one with a smile on his face. Yuuuuuummmm. I love milk chocolate. After finishing eating the chocolate. Fuhgahkra took out one of the pumpkin juice bottles. Taking a sip of the drink to examine the sweet drink with its spicy undertone. Hmmmm, not bad. Once that was done he gave word to Soji to let him help fertilize the soil. While he was doing that, Fuhgahkra went around examining the crops, doing upkeep on the good ones while attempting to use his plant nature chakra to rejuvenate their stems and branches. As he did this, he attempted to create a matrix of earth berms across growing areas. Creating a series of miniature reservoirs that hold the water in place so it can have a chance to soak into the soil later if needed.

Chudan (Middle Level)- style made to give equal offensive and defense. By putting one foot in front of the other, the back heel raised off, it allows quick adjustments to offense and defense. Combining with quick and fluid movements, the style focuses on simplicity, and fluid movements to push an opponent off-balance and break their posture.
