There are 24 more days till the heatwaves end; this means that if we can set the groundwork for a continuation once players can write and post again, we can.
Reinhard ‘Tenno’ Martin
During the trip, something in Tenno broke. He was tired of this, tired of marking time in a stagnating, rotten world where there was no ideal solution - Even his nation, the Flux State, had its bad spots and flaws and factionalism, even as doom drew near. The Corpos had too much power, but to be honest, anarchism... It was not able to erase the flaws of Humanity and its nature. No, only true balance can contain it and bring forth good results; not that enough realize it to make a difference. But maybe, for now, it was enough that he knew; maybe being a Hooder, guarding moments of happiness for people, was enough.
He still hated it, still hated the long shadow of trauma and the continued destruction of his mental state that his life, alone, without trusting anyone or anything, brought him. The slow death of himself. These people... They were too content with how things are; they've settled down and accepted the unacceptable. They weren't family, much less friends.
As they got off the bus, there were long moments of indecision as the group began to discuss what they should do; Lisbon was an unfamiliar place, but that did not mean they considered all the possibilities. Not that the one he, barely in his early twenties, wanted to propose was in any way typical or even normal, even for Shadowrunners. So his next words were, “We’ve been given a lot of latitude and nuyen to pursue that latitude. We also have a priest, sinful though he may be to his sect to hang around with us. This opens up local religious groups as a means of inquiry; some people are fearless enough to preach to gangsters in this day and age.”
Then he continued, “I’m going to the brothels, though - I’m old enough and I need to drown my issues.”
Blatantly turning his back on the others, Tenno then brought up his PDA/Smartphone/Comms Device and began looking for semi-reputable red-light establishments close to the area without a care in the world. Well, that was a lie; he did care about what the others thought of him, he was crying out for someone to care about him despite his issues. Despite him being mean to them inside, he still held out hope that maybe just maybe the impossible could happen and he could find something to care about than what was already lost.
He looked at the Oni (Bomoh), and strangely enough, the suit guy, saying, "Oi, you two; if you don't have plans, want to come with me? Or do you intend to chase other leads you've come up with? Also, just to make sure, is the district those two gangs are fighting over a red-light district, or just your regular economically depressed hellhole with no jobs, no money, no investment, or even decent infrastructure? Yes, a Flux State brat knows what those terms are; we're not all uneducated rubes."
One second, two seconds, and a third, for the two to get that Tenno's invitation was to take their measure, to offer a chance at connection and conciliation before he just dismissed them as a defeatist and a willing collaborator with the corpos. Whether they refused or not, however, Tenno would head for an establishment that advertised the company of adult men and women of both genders, an establishment rumored to have links with the Vultures, although those were unsubstantiated...

Name: Ken Aizawa
Age: 16
Physical Description:

Are you a Princess/Prince? : Y.
Calling: Champion.
Court: Swords.
Invocation: Fuoco 3, Acqua 2, Terra 1.
Charms: Fight 3, Perfect 2, Govern 1.
Short Bio: Ken was born in Tokyo to a Japanese Father and a Caucasian Mother from Beaux Rêve City. This was made more ‘unusual’ than it is now due to his father being a member of the Hototogisu and his mother being a Princess who fell in love with the man despite the former trying to ‘steal’ her powers in the first place. And so Ken was raised with two sometimes-conflicting influences, his father’s, who was focused on money and influence and ambition, and his mother’s, who was focused on compassion, philanthropy, and sometimes self-righteousness. Nevertheless, the boy quickly learned from both, leaning towards his mother more.
At school in Tokyo, Ken was frequently bullied for his half-foreign heritage and quickly learned to stand up for himself. Standing up for others, though, was harder for him, but then he met a boy, a boy who awakened him to his budding bisexuality. He tried to ignore these feelings at first, but seeing that other boy being bullied in school, even worse than he was, because he was ‘weak’, slowly roused a desire for justice and a desire to protect him, and one day, he stood up to protect the person he had to admit, he loved.
In a flash of light, Ken’s clothes transformed into that of a soldier wearing the ballistics vest of an elite JSSDF Infantryman, and the boy punched the lights out of the bullies threatening to beat his fellow student. And his life changed forever.
His parents soon caught wind of what happened and paid a huge amount of money to keep the mouths of any witnesses shut. Then after accepting that yes, Ken did in fact like both genders ‘that way’, the two debated on what to do to protect him. This resulted in his father inducting him into the Hototogisu’s employ even though he was below the legal age for employment in Japan and then sending him to the city of Beaux Rêves, where the Age of Majority was 16. There, he was to represent the Japanese Corporation’s more philanthropic side and ‘observe’ events going on in the area and how the Conspiracy/Company could benefit from it.
And yes, he’s still allowed to talk to the person he protected, his new boyfriend...
