Special Equipment
- Master Ninja Gear : Equipment built based on Tseune's home country's design.  It was crafted in order to improve his ability to spy and maneuver while under the service of Lord Matter.  [ Currently missing since the migration ]
- Moon Stone : Returning to his once pious nature, Tseune has reconnected with his sect's cosmic entity, the moon, and now grows stronger at night.  [ Tseune has not continued his religious practices as of yet ]
- Star Cloak / Star Veil : Returning to his once pious nature, Tseune has reconnected to the stars which carry the spirits of his ancestors.  Through prayers and oaths, his ancestors storm through the heavens to protect their faithful successor.  [ Tseune has not continued his religious practices as of yet ]
- Starfury : A gift given to Tseune long ago by an unknown.  Tseune always carried it with him as it is a weapon connected to the cosmos.  Though rarely used, it's one of Tseune's trophies.  [ Currently missing since the migration ]
- Cutlass : There have been rumors that somewhere in Iseyu, a treasure Dao (Chinese Broadsword) has been seen switching hands between murderers and unfortunate merchants.  Rumors tell that the sword is cursed and attracts those with evil hearts when it isn't wielded by an appropriate master.  Tseune wishes to claim this sword in order to free the blade from the eternal curse that has claimed countless lives.  [ Still in circulation ]

~ Biography ~

                                                                                In the Homeland...

  In a time and place beyond the scope of most, there was a kingdom that surpassed many of the great limitations of man, connecting the souls and worlds of alternate realities.  It was in one of these interconnected lands that a baby fated to be a hero of the people was born with the Oath of Shi'Chauhuan, making the baby a housing place for the fallen souls of other souls connected to the child.

  Being bound by the demanding power of the Oath of Shi'Chauhuan, the baby was raised to be pious and taught The Way of Peace.  Carrying charm and skill equal to heroes of myth, the baby grew into a man whom was as good with the ladies as he was in battle and as a working man.  Hundreds of generations later, his family line can be found in countless worlds in number.  This man is Tseune's ancestor from the Age of Imbalance, a time of chaos with records lost in the ever-growing archives of Chenka Shi'Nojiie.

                                                                                      Prologue

    A human from a land far to the east, he was spirited away from his homeland while working deep underground, looking for something to make a gift for his fiancé.  When he awoke, he found himself in a land far, far from his homeland with nothing but his clothes.  In that land, he made friends with an old man and his family, served in their military, and became a hero of the people while teaching people of his culture and leaving an Embassy in the land.  After his work was done, he gave away as much of his belongings as he could to the people and used what remained to travel to the next land, all in hopes of spreading joy and protecting the people as he journeyed back to his homeland.  Since that first adventure, he repeated his behavior in every realm that showed kindness to him.

    His journey eventually led him into the land of Caphori, a realm of Iseyu.  There, he spent a significant amount of time among the people and the many affairs of the land, igniting his nature to stay and assist whenever possible.  Over his time in Caphori, Tseune has made several migrations after terrible incidents and met many intriguing individuals, convincing him to stay a while longer.  But now, the winds of change are blowing and the people have grown restless, including Tseune.  His plans are in motion and Tseune prepares for his long journey to return home and reunite with his fiancé, but he won't leave without leaving someone or something to take his place as the voice of the people and help guard them against the dangers that have reared their heads in recent years...

                                                                                    A New Land

   Tseune arrives on an island split from the rest of the world using a small ship filled with supplies and a rag-tag crew.  Sneaking onto the land at night, he scouts for any sign of civilization and a place to begin his plans, but encounters familiar faces and calls for his crew to split off and hide until the time comes for them to regroup.  His reunion with his old allies is cut short as the others carry on with their own business.  Tseune decides to find a place to lay low for a while and finds the new Embassy established by Hidekazu.  Seeing familiar faces and comforted by the styles of home, he decides to hide away in the Embassy, plotting and planning while he is still bound.
