Refined Details
Personality Characteristics: He's caring, yet stern. Often his mischevious past surfaces in his reactions without his notice. He places his honor above his life, and at timescan seem very different caused by his quest for enlightenment. Due to the conflicting characters (tengu-mischevious, and his search for enlightenment) he can appear quite chaotic, but Bushido, the code of honor, is the seal that binds his mentalities together.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like most Tengu, he considers himself a teacher, and is willing to pass on his knowledge of tactics and weaponry to anyone who demonstrates they honestly want to learn and that their intentions are nothing but honorable. Until he gains more worldly experience, he is a very mediocre teacher.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His wish is to set up a proper establishment for teaching any willing followers of the sword, hidden away in some deep wood. To live out his life helping others and with the strength to eventually reture his sword.

Background History: For many years from his birth he followed the action of his fellow tengu. Many of his action were hideous things that would merit certain destructionwere they ever discovered. As he watched many of the newborn race get involved in a private war resulting in much blood-shed and terror. Sickened, he left home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While flying, cloaked in the illusion of a large bird, he was captured by some young children. They beat him to take his feathers. He was saved by a wandering monk, and decided to devote his life towards ascension much like the monk. After this he began to view life as the most valuable thing possible, and devotes his life to life's protection.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He wandered for a time, and spread the Tengu sword-styles which assisted the creation of the samurai and ninja of the area.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the first war of the Kamakura era the illusion that he could go through life without killing melted away. He broadened his wanderings, preserving life when he could, but killing when he must, and that sums up his life up until the present.
