Relationships!
constantly in progress.
Owl/Nagi
A militant pacifist, and the first Deadman Senji encountered in Anatole. In DW, Nagi was the leader of Scar Chain and never proved very much of a threat to Senji (although Nagi later admitted to letting them cripple him in the Punishment Game.) Here, as the only two Deadmen in Anatole for a while, they developed a very unsteady "friendship" despite Nagi's annoying weather predictions and overwhelming willingness to bury his head in the sand. Because of this, Senji's convinced he's crazy... and that was before Genkaku showed up to apparently prove him right!
Game Fowl/Karako
Nagi's second in command and once-rival of Senji's, although the antagonism has somewhat cooled since then. After hearing about Ganta's alleged betrayal back home, she was the one responsible for "convincing" him to give the kid a second chance, should he ever show up, and did the same thing when he tried to get rid of Priscilla. A little bit of a moral compass, even if Senji won't admit to needing or wanting one. And one hell of a sparring opponent. To date, she's the only other person he's lost a fight to besides Priscilla (even if he did so intentionally.)
Genkaku
UNDERTAKER. >:(
But one that seems to actually make sense, at least some of the time. Senji's not entirely sure what to make of him, between the creepy Owl stalking and the insane adherence to Death As Salvation; under other circumstances, they might have been able to get along. However, mainly Senji sees him as a challenge, and won't be satisfied until he's kicked the monk's ass. An enemy purely on principle.
Rokuro
Some nerd with a grudge. Not quite a Deadman, but not really an Undertaker, either. Which means he's not worth Senji's time... until he proves it, anyway.
Priscilla
The Claymore girl that somehow managed to trigger his protective streak, earn his respect and admiration, and get him to tolerate a female's presence for more than two minutes (in bed! ...No, really.) As much as she infuriates and baffles him she's the only person he's really opened up to in Anatole, even going so far as to let her recover in his apartment after her death. He finds her challenging in nearly every way, with both good and bad results - the extreme difference in power is more of interest to him than anything and he's taken responsibility for helping her hone her skills. Unfortunately. They even hunt yoma together sometimes. And while he might not always be comfortable with his increasing fondness for her, he never seems to take any steps to prevent it from getting worse.
Helen
Another Claymore, and one that Senji prefers to avoid at all costs; she always manages to find just the right ways to make him uncomfortable. Worse yet, she enjoys doing it, and he has since branded her a complete fucking psycho and is always on his guard around her.
Zack
One of Priscilla's knights in shining armor. He doesn't know much about Zack personally (nor does he care) but after her death, Zack publically accused him of murdering her, instantly landing him a prime spot on Senji's shit list.
Elena
A hyperactive 'bureaucrat' that once ran Senji's matches in the arena. After a misaimed advertising attempt, however, he fired for for being disrespectful (...yeah) and since then, she'd been fighting tooth and nail for him to take her back as his manager. He finds her annoying, but strangely she's been rather quiet to him lately.
Mello
The ideal sparring partner, patrol partner, and one of the few non-Deadmen that has earned Senji's respect. While there's a lot of common ground between them, ultimately they're nothing more than gym buddies due to a complete lack of attachment from either side. Recently got his interest in some Undertakers, which lost him a few points, but at least Mello is someone that can always be counted on for entertainment and decent advice.
Arthur
Priscilla's LITERAL knight in shining armor. The one that took over the Patrol Unit when she was killed, and newly-appointed second in command. Although Senji has no specific problem with the guy, the defensiveness over Priscilla is enough to get some hackles raised. Also notable for being invited to Senji's apartment without his approval, then walking out again without even being attacked. Amazing!
Scar
Another non-friend friend. He's had a few martial encounters with Scar here and there (both with sparring and in the Arena), and came out victorious in every one of them. Because of this, Senji's taken a liking to the guy, despite - or maybe because of - how easily he can unnerve Scar sometimes. They might not see eye to eye on the big things but overall his worth in battle is enough to get Senji's respect.
