Name: Chikage Yamabuki
Age: Looks like he’s in his 20s, but it’s more likely that he is in his 60s.
Birthdate: 09/21
Nationality/Cultural Group:Tengu, from Mount Kurama, a mountain that is north of Kyoto. It’s said to be one of the major strongholds for Tengu in the country.
Height: 5’9
Weight: Slim and athletic. He is the type of man that does not look strong, until you see him take off his shirt.
Gender: Male
Affiliations: Chikage is a teacher for Osamu Tezuka Academy. He teaches Kendo and History. He also helps from time to time with the Shinsengumi, though he is not a member. He has no clan affiliation to speak of other than to the clan of tengu living on Mount Kurama.
Appearance:Chikage is very slim and athletic, he has black hair that is cut in a style called curtained hair. He can often be seen wearing pressed slacks and a buttoned down shirt. He tends to wear dark blue, white, and black. Sometimes he can be seen in a Kendo uniform, or formal kimono patterned in wind or seasonal motifs. He is always very neat in appearance. His eyes are a steel gray. When he is in more of a tengu form, his clothing appears to be the style of a shinto priest. He wears a beige kimono and an elaborate haori, a pair of black hakama, and zori. His wings are the same shade as his hair, which is black like a crow’s.
Belongings: Typically he carries two different carry ons. One is an attache style case for his classes, the other is a duffle bag containing gear for Kendo. Chikage has two weapons, one is a Tengu fan and the other is a katana. He often has a travel cup of tea with him, and can sometimes be seen listening to an mp3 player with classical music as his moment of zen from students.
Personality:He seems very aloof and cold on the outside, but that is so far from the truth. He is a very sensitive guy that cares a lot about his students. He comes across as extremely tsundere, and can often be hard and unpleasant, but he cares so much. When everyone might give up on you, he would be the guy to heckle you into doing better.
Character Strengths:He is graceful and strong. His ability to be light on his feet in a fight makes him very effective. He is also very gifted in learning and teaching.
Character Flaws: He stumbles when it comes to sharing his feelings with others. He has been very hurt by someone in the past, but he would rather choke on glass then talk about it. He also takes his students' failures somewhat personally. And, he can be a little petty.
Backstory: Chikage was one of a handful of Tengus from Mount Kurama that was tasked with communicating with humans and representing the Tengu clan. He takes this very seriously. One day he will be called to act as an elder for the clan, but he is putting it off, caring very much for his human charges, and feeling he can make more of a difference out here than back at the mountain. His parents were slain by a group of Yakuza when he was very young, and he was raised by an older relative.
Powers: Tengu, wind manipulation.
Power Theme: Tengu Yokai
Rank C Ability: Tengu Fan minor wind- This can cause a gust of wind that is fairly small to something horrifying to deal with. Though, for the sake of it being a little OP, let’s limit the gusts to the strongest being a hard shove or something that can lift a decent size adult off the ground.
Rank B Ability:Tengu Fan major wind- This is the more powerful gust of wind from the fan. It takes a good deal of life force to use and can cause weakness or extreme fatigue if over used. It can hit hard when used in a fight.
Rank C Passive: Shapeshift- This is something he can do with minor effort. Chick has a human form, a tengu-humanoid form (which is just him, but with wings), and a crow form.
