༺Who is the "Mask"༻


"You yourself have to change, or nothing will change you."

The "Mask" is the embodiment of Tetsuro's chaotic nature, which is present when his eyes succumb to a red pigment. A suppressed side of the Kami that has existed since his birth, once known for bloodshed and thirst. The side of him that was once able to take life without consideration or batting an eye. This other half is a clashing nature against his divinity, given the chaotic nature of his father whom he inherited this from. This chaotic nature of his father's blood was sealed off for most of his life; thus, the mask ended up splitting from Tetsuro as a whole with a mind of its own once the seal was worn out temporarily. A more bold, brash, and cold presence that has eventually learned to love those around him, just as he does as a whole. The mask's existence contributes to Tetsuro's nature as a Deity of Balance, living with two clashing natures that have learned to co-exist within one another.

༺ Hooks & Rumors ༻


ŌKAMI DEITY OF BALANCE : tetsuro has taken on the role of former kami 'roku' in ascending to higher status amongst the kami as 'raiju'. his job involves tending to the spiritual balance between the co-existence of mortals and yokai. his responsibility also involves being a spiritual guide and aid to everyone around him. he holds a lot of knowledge involving the kami. he is also capable of various priestly duties, such as; purification, warding, blessings, weddings, etc. one can reach tetsuro easily by praying to a wolf statue, hearing out prayers or wishes.BEACON TO YOKAI: It's easy for almost all yokai to recognize that Tetsuro's presence is intense, let alone unmissed. Even if they can't pinpoint what exactly he is, he gives off a blinding beacon of holy spiritual energy that tends to attract curious yokai, especially to where he resides at Nightraid Headquarters.

SELF-MADE SAMURAI: With any given chance, Tetsuro certainly is one to love the ways of the samurai and the sword. He's often in Kugane in his free time, and would be more than willing to cross swords with another samurai. He names his sword style as 'Seinaru Hinokokyu', translating to 'holy fire breathing'.DOJO MASTER: nightraid hq happens to hold an indoor dojo where training often takes place, though it does not take too much to convince the master to teach or offer a few lessons / sparring sessions for outsiders in self defense or martial arts, such as; kenjutsu, soujutsu (spear), the nodachi, assassination, etc.
"Win or Lose, every spar is a valueable lesson to be had."

BOUNTY BOSS: running a bounty office comes with plenty of opportunity. tetsuro oves to network with individuals seeking work such as bounties, hunts, and odd jobs. he always has a business card on hand that would lead one to nightraid's bounty call where one can sign up for a bounty and make extra coin.

BLUE EXORCIST: tetsuro is often tasked with ridding of what is known to the hidden realm as 'impurities', that being more malicious and plaguing yokai usually preying on weaker yokai, or mortals. If there's an impurity uprising, he must immediately see to it. he's been called by establishments to set up wards and rid of dangerous or darker entities.

ENTERTAINER: a lot of time also goes into the entertainment side when it comes to tetsuro. he's hosted multiple events, such as; host clubs, karaoke night, rave events, and more. he is also known for playing the shamisen quite well, and some bamboo flute traditionally. sometimes he may show up to perform at certain venues, so if he's wanted he'll take the chance. or it's easy to recognize him from public events!

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY: Given his jovial and friendly nature, if all else fails, he's very easy to approach to just start a conversation with. One would find Tetsuro most present in Hingashi / Othard, though he does tend to travel a lot so it's not difficult to catch him outside of the region. Posters of his face from a hingan band known as 'Y☆KAI' is all ove Kugane.

The Wulf's Beginning


༺ Hingan Proverb ༻
༺ 虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず༻

"if you do not enter the tiger's cave, you will not catch its cub." meaning: nothing ventured, nothing gained.

༺ Origins ༻
Deep within the land of the Yokai, a realm unseen to the mortal eye, resided several clans, sects, regions.. As though a mirror of the Far East. Except occupied by the supernatural creatures told of through folklore. Particularly, one of the most well-known clans would be the one Tetsuro was born into. A clan and village of Kitsune, now known as ‘Clan Ryuen.’ Tetsuro was destined to be known as; The Ninth Servant of Inari AND Ookami, Balance.
Tetsuro grew up under the cold and overly strict eye of his father, and the warm loving embrace of his mother. Attending temple school, hours of sacred study which involved memorizing thousands of mantras, methods of purification, exorcism, and so forth. Ryuen was known as a clan that would aid in taming overly aggressive yokai, or impure and darker spirits. Under his father, Tetsuro grew rebellious and resistant to his teachings, as his focus shifted towards something more combative. His love for martial arts to be discovered through a small library near their clan’s village. Day by day, Tetsuro spent hours studying scrolls of several different kinds of martial arts, silhouettes illustration techniques which set in a passion within the young boy’s heart. Though the one passion in particular which stuck out to him? Kenjutsu.Within the library a young Tetsuro would always visit, the bookkeep took the appearance of a yokai he couldn’t quite pinpoint. But never questioned it. Little did he know that this bookkeep was a Wolf Kami under the guise of a simple man; Roku. A wolven ancestor belonging to Tetsuro of six generations who kept his distance. Though, as Tetsuro was more and more distracted by his love for combative arts, his father caught onto such antics and ultimately banished his son from their village, naming him a ‘disgrace’ as his heir. At this time, his mother, still pregnant with his little brother, Kenta, wept with little power to stop her unyielding husband’s wrath.

༺ A New Beginning ༻
With his banishment, Tetsuro set off to the world where his passion was birthed from; that of the Mundane Realm. Where mortals thrive and live. Initially, the years were cold and lonely. Times were lost to the control of the Mask. But as Roku watched over his descendent, the burning passion influenced by his presence for the sword would be what kept him going. Acquiring his first sword from his ‘bookkeep’ acquaintance and ancestor unknowingly, Tetsuro sought to follow the scrolls from the library. Going from dojo to dojo, finding and fighting strong swordsman all over the land. Every sparring session becomes a valuable lesson, life or death involved. Soon this desire would expand to a plethora of other hingan weaponry, and martial arts as decades into centuries passed.
Tetsuro ended up getting involved in many battles as a traveling mercenary and exorcist. Outliving many, reliving the death of comrades. The idea of creating a designated company in which he finally settled down came to mind after banding together with a small group of four. This company would be later known as ‘NightRaid’. Within Nightraid, Tetsuro taught his four veterans about the existence of yokai, and about combative arts to which their small office fronted as a supernatural investigations service. Day after day, they would deal with incidents that primarily involved yokai. But his bonds with his comrades and contacts grew his love for mortals, in the end.༺ A War of Worlds ༻
NightRaid continued to grow, until a terrible fate was bestowed upon his people many years later. Roku finally made himself known after interacting with Tetsuro in several small incidents. Though it was, at the time, against law within the realm of the Kami. He advised Tetsuro to no longer run from his role as a Servant to the kitsune Kami, as he and eight others including his younger brother were in grave danger. They would need to retrieve, in total, nine different Hoshi no Tama belonging to a sect of servants under Inari Okami to ensure the safety of the realm. His father would lead a reign of terror upon the mortal realm, blasting a forced veil through Yomi and the people.
Read full stories of the Servant of Nine here.The aid of those of Nightraid, those who died for the safety of the Realm through Tetsuro’s past, those who lived with found traumas and haunting paths, resulted in Tetsuro breaking free from his father’s wrath. He tormented his son’s found family, his younger brother, his wife… to her death, and the world’s balance. He took, and took, and took. Taking advantage of the “Mask” as his trump card. But soon enough, he was caught and executed after numerous incidents on the spot.
Though, the most tragic result of Roku’s desperate involvement to aid his descendants would be that he was no longer allowed the seat of a Kami. Thus… his existence withered, or so we thought.
Tetsuro had discovered, as a being of Spiritual Balance, his role in both realms were not over. And soon he would become the Okami Deity of Balance, taking up the mantle of Roku as the seventh generation of Okami upon his granted ascension for all he had done.

༺Character Bonds༻


♡ Lover
♥ Family
✦ Close Friends
☆ Friends

♡ Scilla Wulf (Wife)
Once a quiet student in his dojo, the elusive Scilla slowly became Tetsuro’s anchor in his darkest times. What began as shared naps and quiet companionship blossomed into a deep love rooted in healing, magic, and mutual growth. Scilla makes Tetsuro feel safe, alive, and whole like flowers blooming after a long winter. Now deeply bonded, they regard each other as their "eternal flower and flame". Together, they continue to grow.

❤ Kenta Wulf (Little Brother)
Tetsuro met Kenta only once before tragedy struck, watching his baby brother die at their father’s hand is a memory that still haunts him. Years later, fate granted a second chance: Tetsuro recovered Kenta’s Hoshi no Tama and restored him to life. Now, Tetsuro devotes himself to teaching Kenta love, peace, and the wonders of the Apparent Realm, guiding him as both brother and mentor as Kenta learns the bow.. Tetsuro’s first weapon.

❤ M'yhe "Youta" Aylahi (Son)
Tetsuro first met the Seer through bounties, soon seeking his insight during a time of spiritual upheaval. Struggling with the truth of his father’s sins, Tetsuro turned to Youta’s divination and was pushed, stubbornly, toward facing the truth. Tetsuro named him Youta, “child of sunlight” for his bright personality. Their bond is a mix of wit, wisdom, and buried pasts, with The Mask calling him “Little Sheep” in secret for a past that once entangled their fates so closely together.

❤ Ninka'ir "Haruko" Aylahi (Son)
Kind, warm, and gifted with the bow, Ninka reminded Tetsuro of someone he once mentored long ago, enough to take him in as a son. He nicknamed him Haruko, “Spring Child,” for his gentle yet strong connection to nature and floral aura. Beyond training, Ninka ultimately shared a strong bond with Kenta’s spirit, trusted wholly by Tetsuro to guide and protect his younger brother, both in the art of archery and life. For that, he can never forget the acts of courage and aid.

L'amp "Hikaru" Tia (Son)
Found wounded during a NightRaid patrol, Tetsuro rushed to save L’amp from an Oni attack, his instinct was to protect the boy and his book at all costs. What began as a rescue became something deeper; Tetsuro brought him home, trained him, and soon came to trust him as family. Through shared battles and spiritual ties, their bond grew, and now, being called Tou-san feels natural.

Salem "Satoru" Tia (Son)
Their first meeting was rocky, but a dance-off and deeper conversations revealed Salem’s strength and sincerity. Tetsuro came to trust him—especially with protecting one of NightRaid’s youngest. Though not as close as others, Salem proved his worth when he helped save Tetsuro’s spirit from collapse, a moment that solidified their quiet bond and mutual respect.

✦ Ryo Setsu (Best Friend)
Childhood companions once separated by exile, Ryosetsu supported Tetsuro’s early passion for the sword. Though centuries passed, their bond endured, and now they’ve reunited, stronger, wiser, and co-running Third Eye Izakaya together. In Ryosetsu, Tetsuro finds both forgiveness and a gentle ear who has come to understand the beauty of the mortal realm.

♥ Ranmaru Ji (Bro-in-law)
Though often clashing, Tetsuro and Ranmaru share more than they admit; violent pasts, shinobi training, and buried rage. Despite their friction, Tetsuro sees him as vital to their cause, especially after facing the Mask together. Their bond is solid, built on mutual survival and understanding. Now, Tetsuro considers him a brother. Ranmaru’s Crimson Ji Forge now stands as a trusted ally within the NightRaid Network.
