This is the character sheet concerning the main characters from the Mugen Tengoku / Holy Japonian Empire of Mefhor Canon Bloc.
An Absolute Monarchy ruled by the enigmatic Tennou, His Shogunate (Bakufu) and the Council of the Fist of Steel, the Mugen Tengoku is largely a Confederacy of (mostly) autonomous Governorates over Territories which have recognized the sovereignty of the Tennou.
Surprisingly, the regime is relatively new, having only been around since the Absolute Revolutions of 2009 around East and Southeast Asia. Given the little time it had, the Tengoku has come to carve out an enormous empire from large portions of the world through many methods, being able to call itself the Land where the Sun never sets, and truly, Land of the Rising Sun - it governs an empire rivaling the former British Empire in size. A rather contradictory regime on many issues, which the simplest words that could be used to describe it are "a brutal fascist regime that actually care for and about its citizens, more or less".
Feuds exist between it and the Neo Byzantine Empire, and the Tengoku is acting as the only thing holding the Byzantines at bay, away from the Protectorate of Grand Germania. A significant ally to both Mefpan and the Fourth Reich - very much modern day's Axis Alliance.
Tropes for the Mugen Tengoku faction:
- A Commander Is You / Faction Calculus: The Tengoku's military is broken down into the following categories:
- Balanced Faction, with a fair combination of all types of units.
- Generalist Faction, sometimes leaning to Subversive or Brute.
- Loyal Faction. Sometimes, the Industrial/Economic faction.
- Armies fielded and personally commanded by the Shoguns count as Powerhouse/Elitist.
- Armies fielded and personally commanded by either The Tennou or the Supreme Shogun (Sakahara) are usually the Game Breaker.
- Bigger Is Better: Having adopted the doctrine from Nazi Germany, and more recently, Mefpan, the Tengoku has come up with tank projects of its own. Given the secretive nature of the Tengoku, however, not even the blueprints managed to slip outside.
- It has fielded Bases on Wheels before.
- Several Military Mash Up Machines have also appeared.
- Canon Foreigner: The regime isn't even supposed to exist.
- Disproportionate Retribution: As long as the situation allows. A friendly politician or one of their relatives is killed in an assassination attempt. Its resolution? Raise multiple revolutions, start wars, use chemical gas and heavy artillery, not retreating until the enemy leader surrendered - which is usually synonymous with most of the population of the attacked nation is dead.
- Industrialized Evil: The Tengoku sure makes Evil looks like a true Industry of its own right.
- The Men in Black: How the Tengoku politically functions, overall.
- Schizo Tech: A mix of fantasy and postmodern tech. It's actually hiding arsenals from the far future somewhere in deep space.
- Secret Police: People don't even know if such an agency exists.
- Unperson: Not as prominent as the Reich, or the Soviet Union... ... because government agencies are filled with clones of The Tennou and the Supreme Shogun (Sakahara), mind-controlled, or both.
Notable Characters:
Sakahara/ Izangi
The Supreme Shogun of the Mugen Tengoku, Sakahara is a mysterious Magnificent Bastard and The Dragon to The Tennou. While The Tennou is the figurehead ruler of the Tengoku, he is the real driving political power, and is also the Villain Protagonist of the Japonian faction. There are few who know about his background, and the political machines of the Tengoku seems content to keep it that way. His love life is rather... interesting, at least according to myths.Later on, it's revealed that he is in fact a Physical God from an entirely different reality, along with The Tennou, came to this reality to expand the influences of The Tengoku and the Ragnarok Campaign.
- The Ace: Good at everything he does.
- A Father to His Men: Apparently, soldiers like him very much.
- Affably Evil: Working for the Token Evil Teammate doesn't make him lose his likability.
- Anti-Villain: His constant jumping up and down the slippery slope leaves people wondering whether he's a hero or a villain.
- Badass Back: Doesn't even so much as look at his enemies when he's sure they're nearing death.
- Badass Bookworm: Has a massive library with all kinds of books at home.
- Became Their Own Antithesis: So... this man rebelled against the Gods who oppressed humanity, just to cooperate with the man who would kill them off? Possibly, he isn't very different from the Gods he destroyed then he previously thought. He knows it, and he's not feeling too well.
- Berserk Button: Do not touch a girl he seduced, unless they said otherwise. Even think about wronging them might be the death of you.
- Big Brother Instinct: Caring, and violently protective of those girls he seduced.
- Born Unlucky: Fate doesn't like him. In return, he gives fate the middle finger.
- Break the Cutie: Might not be the normal cutie, but his sister's death (or perhaps, being Put on a Bus) surely broke him.
- Brother–Sister Incest: As Izanagi, with Izanami.
- The Casanova: He can make (normal) girls fall for him with relative ease.
- Catchphrase: "You Will Know Endless Torment!" Mostly before cutting of people's head or impaling them.
- Character Development: From The Stoic to a very cynical (and still stoic) Knight in Sour Armor, before starting to warm up his heart again.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: He trained very hard to get to the current point.
- The Chessmaster: Try to figure out the way of being a military strategist, a master combatant and a successful pervert at the same time without being a Chessmaster.
- Chivalrous Pervert: He swears to protect whoever got seduced by him, and will keep his word no matter what.
- Clark Kenting: Very good at disguising.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Black being his primary color. Red and Purple are two other frequently-used colors.
- Consummate Liar: When he's feeling wholehearted, his lies are convincing.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Touch someone he actually cares about to trigger this horrifying end.
- Cute Kitten: He has a calico kitten named "Miss Tora" later on. He's shown to be fondling her when she's around. She's heavily hinted to be a reincarnated Maya/Izanami.
- The Dandy: Dressed sharply. Complete with an Eyepatch of Power.
- Darker and Edgier: While things going on and about the Tengoku faction is already dark, he seems to come out much darker.
- Death Glare: You don't want a Death Glare from this man. You just don't.
- Determinator: Won't ever give up until his enemy is utterly destroyed and his goals are achieved.
- Defeating the Undefeatable: Utterly destroying four powerful Eldritch Abominations in a single battle and coming out alive.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Just wronging those he promised to protect might result with a horrible No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.
- Eldritch Abomination: The equivalent to Elder Gods in the Cthulhu Mythos.
- Empowered Badass Normal: He can wield magic like an expert, but his preferred approach to his enemy is barehanded combat.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Well, he would rape, but only when the factors like his victim is evil or being seduced by evil, etc and the consequences are seriously considered.
- Evil Makeover: Originally dressed in Dark Grey. After the Cynicism Catalyst, it turns into complete Black, added with an Eyepatch of Power.
- Expy: He's basically Lelouch Vi Britannia with the fighting skills of Zero.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: He turns into whichever form the situation calls for at the time... except in combat.
- Four-Star Badass: Supreme Shogun of the Mugen Tengoku.
- Generation Xerox: The male of his twins looks like a mini version of him.
- Good Is Not Nice: Cynical and stoic. Probably subverted - he is nice to those he really cares for.
- Good Is Not Soft: He has the second highest kill count in the Tengoku, after The Tennou. Except, all of the former's count died by his own hands.
- Hidden Depths: When not on duty and being a stoic field commander, he spends time being a politician or a successful businessman. When he isn't any of those, he hits on girls and plays sports - playing pool being one of them.
- Few knows he's an Eldritch Abomination / Physical God.
- Hyperspace Arsenal: Let's see here... he has a pair of Katanas, a pair of Fans, a pair of Pistols, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers... And where would he store all of those to bring them into warfare?
- There is an experimental Hyperspace co-created by him, Derrotte and Ishii for that purpose.
- Hypocrisy Nod: If someone tells him he's hypocritical, he'd just shrug it off and answer:Sakahara: I have no time to argue who's the bigger hypocrite. Now step aside.
- Probably a Foreshadowing to the Ragnarok Campaign, given the human-distrusting nature of the sentence. Coming from him, and not The Tennou.
- Improbable Age: Not many people become what is both a General-in-Chief and a Head-of-State at the age of 26. Only, it's his fake age - he's a Time Abyss.
- The Immune: To a torturing virus developed by the Tengoku. It was developed from his DNA.
- Improbable Weapon User: He can kill almost anyone with anything. Anything.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: He truly wants those he cares for to live in a world created by the Ragnarok Campaign.
- Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Raping. Might be zigzagged, since most of the cases are not just for his own pleasure, and then he does make sure the victims will be fine after that.
- Katanas Are Just Better: His is a cross between a Laser Blade and a Katana.
- Knight in Sour Armor: Became rather pessimistic and cynical later on.
- Knight Templar: He genuinely believes in the welfare of humanity. And that of the Ragnarok Campaign.
- Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Unless his enemies are too powerful, he always attack using his super-strength.
- Lightning Bruiser: Runs fast and attacks hard.
- Manipulative Bastard: On the battlefield of guns, and on the battlefield of roses, both of which he has mastered, he can maneuver his way through manipulation.
- Master Actor: Can mask his emotions more than well enough. Especially after the Space Station Incident, when he officially became even more of The Stoic after taming his anger.
- Milking the Giant Cow: In public speeches, and during his hijack of [[the US Television Broadcast]].
- Mr. Fanservice: Clothing Damage, Form-Fitting Wardrobe and Heroic Build; he has all.
- Multi-Melee Master: Can use melee weapons with quite an expertise. Not that he can't use ranged weapons with ease.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: "God of Destruction". Coincidental, since he's a Physical God.
- Necessarily Evil: Given his invoked methods of approaching the enemy, it's needless to say he's evil out of necessity.
- Noble Demon: He has a heart. Though not a warm, welcoming one.
- No Place for Me There: Being a Knight in Sour Armor, he believes this will be his end once the Ragnarok Campaign finished, creating the Utopia he always wanted for humanity, much to the sadness of a few girls who know about his plans.
- One-Winged Angel: Has forms beyond the understanding of Humanity.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Clark Kenting status means he can still fool people with these kinds of disguises.
- The Plan: While seemingly carrying out the Ragnarok Campaign along with The Tennou, he has a less violent agenda and different objectives for it.
- The Power of Acting: He can genuinely make (most) people believe he's a completely different person through being the Master Actor.
- Prince Charming: A variation, in that he's not a Prince, but an equivalent to a General-in-Chief.
- Real Men Hate Sugar: Prefer his coffee unsweetened.
- Red Baron: "God of Destruction" or "The Black Prince of Japonia", whichever you prefer.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Another sign that he's pissed is when his eyes change slowly from Icy Blue to Blood Red.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: For anyone he cares about, if they are wrongly touched or thought of.
- The Martian Space Station Incident.
- Sanity Slippage: For a guy being constantly thrown into Bad Luck, he surprisingly averts this.
- Scars Are Forever: Subverted. His most significant scar, on his left eye, only shows up when he uses Psionic powers.
- Screw Destiny: This man refuses to lie down when fate knocks him. He stands up and continues to defy all that comes his way.
- Shadow Dictator: The Tennou is already ambiguous, but nobody truly knows that Sakahara is the Eminence Grise behind the Tengoku.
- Shipper on Deck: Ships Hisoka with Kotori. Not that they disagree.
- Shrouded in Myth: One of the myths include having a harem of no less than 500 girls and still counting. Whoever created the myth might as well be selling lampshades.
- Slasher Smile: Along with Psychotic Smirk, these are the two things he would do when he's certain his plan ''cannot'' and ''will not'' fail.
- Slowly Slipping Into Evil: Or more exactly, constantly jumping into and out of Evil territory.
- Stockholm Syndrome: Seems to have a love with invoking this. Usually, he succeeds, but not before really starting to care for his victim.
- Superpowered Evil Side: Subverted. There's no "Evil Side", it's the same person. Probably double subverted, since Sakahara might be counted as evil to begin with.
- Take a Third Option: He sometimes isn't too fond of playing to fixed rules, which usually results in this.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Apple and Coffee.
- Übermensch: Definitely has his own moral standards to live by.
- Unnecessary Combat Roll: Actually, the Aikido Combat Roll of his, done at his Flash Step speed, is quite effective.
- Unwanted Harem: Possibly averted – he swears to protect just about every girl who joined his "Fanclub".
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He does care for Humanity, and he even shows his care for the ones closest to him. Though, his ways of going about those are... interesting.
- When All You Have Is a Hammer…: He proceeds to kill everyone on the other side in the scene with whatever he has at the time, including his bare hands.
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Possibly averted on occasions; most of the time played straight.
The Tennou/ Hideki Minamoto
- "It's a good day... to kill them all!"
Possibly the most evil character in the New World Order, he is The Tennou of the Tengoku.
- The Antichrist: His real appearance and his apparent goals sure look the role: evil, has what looks like horns made from hair, and Glowing Red Tsurime of Doom.
- Anti Anti Christ: Credits for being a Well-Intentioned Extremist. Still very evil for an Anti-Antichrist, however.
- Bling-Bling-BANG!: His gold-plated armor. Also, his pair of pistols.
- Bloodbath Villain Origin: Within the first week of receiving Overkill, he killed off approximately a hundred people.
- Break the Cutie: His blood relatives "slowly" died off, leaving him behind as the only one within his family.
- Cosmic Plaything: Where he came from, then literally. Then he actively subverted this himself.
- Determinator: To re-create humanity is his objective. He may rest, but he won't stop.
- Dissonant Serenity: Surprisingly calm when Izanagi lost his sister.
- Expy: He's a disturbing fusion between Light Yagami and Lucy.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Subverted.
- The Tennou: I don't know. I might have hated them. (referring to his late parents)
- Even Evil Has Standards: Surprisingly, he plays this straight. He will stop his omnicidal tendencies when he meets those who he knows are innocent and harmless, or those he really likes. Otherwise, he's an Omnicidal Maniac.
- Evil Plan: Ragnarok Campaign, having originally killed off 6,000,000,000 people in his home-world.
- Evil Is Not a Toy / Not-So-Harmless Villain: Flashbacks show him to have been laughed at by those who don't believe him to be serious, then proceeding to kill those who laughed at him.
- Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Was fairly chubby when he was an Anti-Hero. Then he slowly got thinner, and gradually got the innocence on his face ridden.
- Fallen Hero: His methods are nowhere near heroic.
- Fan Art: Was once an artist who drew Manga and Anime characters.
- Flat-Earth Atheist:
- The Tennou (as Minamoto Hideki): God is a lie.
- All while knowing Izanagi is a God.
- Freudian Excuse: First, his family was killed off slowly, so he went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against many people for... not that, but rather his Butt-Monkey status. Second, he realized "humanity was corrupt". It gets worse from there.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Once granted the Overkill, he became the worst of nightmares.
- Gaining the Will to Kill: In flashbacks, he is shown slowly adapting to his new life of constant killing.
- Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: His eyes changed from wide Tareme Eyes to narrow Tsurime Eyes to reflect his Face–Heel Turn.
- Hidden Depths: Who knows an evil ruler could have such an intricate and tragic background.
- Horror Struck: He appeared in flashbacks, cringing when thinking about his first kills.
- How Do I Shot Web?: He eventually learned to use Overkill, and then learned to use it with ease.
- Improbable Age: 21 years old is a bit young to rule such a massive empire. Except he's not.
- Just the First Citizen: He's The Tennou, not the Emperor.
- Kill All Humans: He successfully nearly wiped out the Old Humanity in his original world.
- Knight Templar: So to make a better world for humans, and because Humans Are Bastards, you would kill them all?
- La Résistance: Recent history shows him to have been the leader of one.
- Manipulative Bastard: Turned Izanagi against the Four Outer Gods and wiped them out.
- Misanthrope Supreme: Seems like one.
- Double subverted. He loves the human race as a whole, and will go through extensive lengths to destroy and re-create it, thus saving it from its own decadence.
- Played straight in flashbacks, where he hates humanity with a vengeance. Perhaps after his Face–Heel Turn did he realize he loves humanity.
- Parental Abandonment: Part of his background involves his parents being the first casualties once he received the Overkill, without him directly causing it.
- Personality Powers: A Misanthrope Supreme given the power to turn people into bloody piles of gore.
- Religion of Evil: The Imperial Cult revolves around worshiping him as the Messiah of Mankind.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: He will kill someone when he makes his eyes visible.
- Sanity Slippage: The consequences of his family being slowly killed off, him having no true friends, and his being the constant Butt-Monkey.
- Selective Obliviousness:Sakahara: Killing humans, Hideki? You're nothing but a villain.The Tennou (as Hideki Minamoto): What? I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, SS.
- Self-Made Orphan: He killed his adoptive father.
- Softspoken Sadist: He enjoys torment caused to strangers. If said strangers are evil.
- Spell My Name with a "The": The Tennou. It's not his real name.
- Stay in the Kitchen: Zigzagged. His opinion on Feminism is less than favorable, but he will let women do his bidding and sometimes, even respect them.
- Take Over the World: One can anticipate this to be his goal. Surprisingly, this is only his secondary objective.
- Token Evil Teammate: Even to the Tengoku, he's still evil. Possibly a subverted trope.
- Took a Level in Badass: Learning to use a pistol and learning to properly use Overkill counts as his first steps to Badassery.
- Tragic Villain: Basically, his backstory involves a lot of Body Horror and Tear Jerker.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Shown in flashbacks to have been this. Not necessarily Sweet, but definitely more of a Wide-Eyed Idealist.
- Visionary Villain: His vision seems too far for humanity to comprehend, however.
- Walking Spoiler: Though mild compared to other Walking Spoilers, other than the obvious traits, you will have to find out more about this character by yourself if you don't want to spoil yourself.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: You'd be surprised by how idealistic or how wide his eyes were.
- He may still maintain the "Idealist" part.
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Zigzagged. He himself wouldn’t, but through his minions, he would.
- You Are a Credit to Your Race: As long as The Tennou is concerned, "Honorary Japonian" is synonymous with "Honorary Human".
The Tennou's Secretary/ Kuroneko
The secretary with short red hair of The Tennou.- The Reveal: Her name, given by The Tennou, is Kuroneko (probably still not her real name), and she's been around for as long as he has.
Anakin Murakami
An aging General and father to Hisoka and Kotori. He sacrificed himself to save them during the Civil War.- As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Anakin is not even a Japanese name. A hint to the Tengoku's Canon Foreigner status.
- Brother–Sister Incest: What his relationship with his wife is revealed to be.
- Walking Spoiler: Another example of a supporting character.
Hisoka Murakami
A youthful General, the son of General Anakin Murakami and the big brother to Kotori Murakami.With the Heroic Sacrifice of his father, he is now left as the only one other than Sakahara who can fend for his sister Kotori. He didn't learn about his sister becoming a Magic Idol Singer.
- Berserk Button: Harming his sister carries with it great consequences.
- Glass Cannon: In combat, he's this.
- Sakahara is training him to become a Lightning Bruiser of his own right.
- Missing Mom: His was killed in a Rebellion attempt.
- Turns into full-blown Parental Abandonment when his father pulled off a Heroic Sacrifice to save him and his sister.
Kotori Murakami
- "Nii-chan... We will go through everything... with the power of love!"
The naive, innocent little sister of Hisoka Murakami; if a little Tsundere. In the Tengoku, she's a member of the Idol Singer group SYS 60.
With the Heroic Sacrifice of her father, she is now left with only her big brother and Sakahara to fend for her. Eventually, however, she became a Magic Idol Singer.
- Big Brother Mentor: Both Hisoka and Sakahara function as this.
- As a Magical Girl, mostly Sakahara.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: By the time she showed up, she's already defrosting.
- Expy: Whenever she dons shorter hair, then she appears like a tamer, black-haired cat-girl version of Haruhi Suzumiya.
- Father, I Want to Marry My Brother: She once innocently said this to her father, and gets dismissed as only childish thought.
- When her father died, this trope begins to slowly become true.
- Fun with Acronyms: "SYS" (read like "Sis") in "SYS 60" stands for "Sweet Younger Sisters".
- Ironic Echo: The "60" part in "SYS 60". The exact number of people killed off by The Tennou in the world where he came from is 6,000,000,000.
- Missing Mom: Hers was killed in a Rebellion attempt.
- Turns into full-blown Parental Abandonment when her father pulled off his Heroic Sacrifice to save her and her brother.
- Ship Tease: With Sakahara.
- Sakahara ships her with her brother. The shipping paid off.
