Canon Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenzo_Tenma
Notable Skills: Tenma is a highly accomplished brain surgeon. His medical knowledge and skills place him high above the rest of others in his field, and he has been described as a genius by his peers. Even though he has not practiced in a real hospital for a long period of time, he still remembers everything that he had learned, and he has been able to put it into practice many times. Also, he is very skilled in handling guns, after learning from a trainer on how to handle them. He is proficient in all guns, from simple handguns to sniper rifles. At first he had a difficult time in the idea of shooting a person, but after one incident, he has had no trouble since. He speaks German, Japanese, and English.
History: Dr. Kenzo Tenma was a young Japanese doctor who worked at the Eisler Memorial Hospital in Dusseldorf, Germany, during the 1980’s. He was a highly accomplished brain surgeon, and he seemingly had everything going for him at the time; the favor of the director of the hospital, Heinemann; a promotion right in front of him; and he was even engaged to Heinemann’s daughter, Eva. However, things were not fine at the hospital, as Tenma was unwilling to play the political game of hospital politics for very long, and he seizes his chance to try and change things when the massacre of the Lieberts happens, bringing in the twin children, Johan and Anna Liebert. Tenma decided to operate on Johan instead of the city’s mayor. When the child was saved, but the mayor died, Tenma lost all social standing in the hospital, his promotion, as well as his fiancée in the process. Once both children have disappeared, Heinemann and the other doctors were murdered.
Nine years pass; Tenma is now the Chief of Surgery at the same hospital. A known criminal was hit by a car and found on the street, and he came under the care of Dr. Tenma. One evening, Tenma comes back with a gift for the criminal, but he finds the man gone and the guard in front of his room dead. He followed the trail to a construction site to find the man; the man who shoots the criminal is none other than Johan Liebert, the boy who Dr. Tenma had saved nine years ago. While trying to find more information on Johan, he discovers that the boy’s sister is now named Nina, and living a happy life of an adopted daughter with two loving parents. Unfortunately, Tenma only finds her on her birthday, and while he manages to prevent her from meeting her brother, he is unable to stop Johan from murdering her foster parents. As well, Tenma had gone to a man to receive training in the use of firearms, as his plan is to kill Johan to stop him. Tenma continues his search for Johan’s beginnings, coming to meet a man called Hartmann, and he begins to learn about Kinderheim 511, a secret orphanage in control by East Germany. As well, he meets a young boy named Dieter, who is being physically abused by Hartmann. He takes Dieter away from the other man and convinces him that not everything is darkness; that you do not need to live in the bad memories, but to make good memories.
Afterwards, when he was in the Turkish quarter of Frankfurt, Tenma was kidnapped by a man called “The Baby”. He was about to kill Tenma, when two people helped him out, saying that General Wolf wanted to talk to him. He then helped the members of the Turkish quarter to put out the fires that were started there. Again though, he had missed seeing Johan, though he had met Nina again, and he had to leave to find his trail once more. He then went to go visit a former colleague and now a criminal psychologist, Rudy Gillen. He wanted him to go through the different writings that Johan had been leaving him, and see if he had any idea as to what they meant, or if Johan had two different personalities, as if one was trying to stop the other from committing the murders. Instead, he realizes that Johan is just playing with him.
In Hamburg, Inspector Lunge catches up to him again. While he manages to escape, Lunge is badly injured by the true murderer behind the crime, and so Tenma ends up helping Lunge with the stab wound to his stomach. He helps him as much as he can, and then gets him to a hospital in Hamburg, saving his life in the process. In Munich, Tenma finds himself looking over a Dr. Reichwein, who was a professor for Rudy Gillen when he was in school. He leaves Dieter in the care of Dr. Reichwein. Tenma hears on the news that Schuwald, who is employing Johan as his secretary, plans to give his collection of books to the library, and Tenma buys a sniper rifle, planning to shoot Johan in the woods near Schuwald’s house. In the end, he goes to the library with the sniper rifle in its package, and he lies on top of a bookcase, waiting for the speech to begin. Unfortunately, when it comes time to actually shoot Johan, Tenma is unable to do it, and then he is found by Roberto. After a mild scuffle, with Roberto about to shoot Schuwald, Tenma knocks him to the ground and they fight, right until the library begins to go up in flames, according to Johan’s plan. Tenma has the opportunity to kill Johan, but he doesn’t.
While on the train to Prague, Tenma meets a man named Grimmer, who helps him escape the train before the police find him once again by using the fake passport he has. After he escaped the train, Grimmer had followed him and then offered to show him to the Czech border. When he finds Suk, he sees that Grimmer is there, covered in blood; he had incapacitated all of the other men, and he asked Tenma to help save Suk. When they go to the hospital to see Suk however, he is gone, and they are taken to see a man named Karl Ranke, who is head of the Czech secret police. Tenma continued his search for Johan’s origin in the Czech Republic, and eventually came upon the publisher for the books written by Franz Bonaparte. Leaving Grimmer, he gets caught by the police. After being caught in Prague, he was transferred to Dusselfdorf. After escaping prison he goes back to Prague to see the “Red Rose Mansion”. In Frankfurt he then went into a taxi to follow the car that the man with glasses had gone in. However, the police showed up, and he had to take off running, dashing through an alleyway until he comes out onto another street, only to be hit by a minivan.
The next thing Tenma knew, he was in a glass and steel bubble in the middle of the ocean.
Personality: When Tenma was younger, he was constantly getting picked on by the other children. He had a habit of wetting his pants, earning him the name of “sissy pants Tenma”. When he was younger, he was a shy child, as well as lonely. As he grew older, the loneliness became to go away, and he made several friends when he went to study in Germany. Even when he worked for the Eisler Memorial Hospital, he continued to make friends with his charm and his friendliness to everyone. He is naturally a nice, friendly person, as well as a kind one. He cares about the welfare of his patients, as well as the people who surround him. He will take some time from his mission to help any who have fallen sick or have become injured in some way. Before the operation he did on Johan, he was naïve and idealistic in the ways of the world. He thought, and has always thought, that everyone is equal and deserves equal care. He was never one to dabble in hospital politics, and as such, he was constantly manipulated and controlled by his superiors. However, over the years, his idealistic view of the world was never shattered. He is someone that wants to see the good in people, and he usually does. But with Johan, he finds his view challenged, and as such, when he can find no goodness in him, it is something that affects him deeply. One would think that this would push him towards distrusting people and seeing them in a different light, but it doesn’t, as he still finds the good in people, as well as being able to bring out the good in people. He also cares for his supposed enemies, such as his ex-fiancee Eva, and the many other policemen who are after him. As well, even though he was trained on how to use different firearms, he still keeps a doctor’s mentality to never cause harm, and as such, he had a difficult time actually being able to shoot another human being. However, when he shot Roberto during the fire at the library, he was changed in a way. Instead of hesitating and having his hands shake, they have now become still while handling a gun. He has changed in the fact that, while he has never been, nor will he never be a cold hearted killer, there is a switch that has been flipped inside him that now makes him more determined then before to do what is right.
Appearance: Tenma is a rather tall, thin, Japanese man in his thirties. When he was younger, he was always clean shaven, thin, but not emaciated thin, and he kept his dark black hair cut short so that it would not be a problem when he was in the operating room, as well as something easy to take care of. He is blessed by good looks, but does not care about them, nor does he use them to his advantage. Now that he is older and on the run from the police, he has even less time to deal with the way he looks. His black hair is longer now, and frames his face. It’s usually clean, though it has been known to become dirty the longer he travels away from a place with a decent shower and a change of clothes. Seeing as he was thin before, now he looks like a walking stick, showing that even though he is a doctor and should know better, he does not always eat unless he has to. While he was clean shaven before, now he has stubble along his jaw and around his lips, not even bothering to shave at times. He looks rather dirty and uncouth, but when given a shower, a few days of good rest, and enough food, he will look presentable.
Plans for the character: Tenma won’t be settled until he finds Johan and finishes his mission to kill him. However, since he is a humanitarian, he will help out in a medical capacity as much as he can. With the police not following him anymore in this new place, he won’t have a problem returning to work in a hospital, though he will keep his mission a secret from everyone around him. However, if there are people from his world around, then he will help them as much as he can. Unless it’s Johan, in which case he will do whatever he can to find him and finish what he thinks he started.

First Person:
*The Zaqar clicks on for audio and then off, then on again*
Hm. As if a city underwater wasn’t enough like something out of a science fiction television show, they had to add what makes me think of some high tech cellular phone. I wonder what this button does…
*The Zaqar clicks off again and it is back for text*
I suppose this could be worse. The last thing I remember was a minivan coming towards me, and the next thing I know, I end up here in front of a row of doctors or scientists of some sort.
This place makes me remember a patient I once had. The surgery took hours, but he pulled through. I came to visit him the next day, after he opened his eyes, and he was already asking for the remote so he could watch his favorite show, something to do with super powers and hidden locations around the world.
I don’t know how I got here, but I can just hope that the people I care for are safe. By the way, is there anyone here who speaks German?
Third Person: It had been almost like jail in a way, the questions upon questions, the wondering of what he should do; to answer or not to answer. He remembered Lunge’s words, on how it was better to stay quiet, better to stay silent so that they could not pin anything on him. But it wasn’t the same here. He wasn’t being questioned for any crimes he did not commit, and all they wanted to know were things about the world he had come from. But that had been done hours before, and now he had finally reached the apartment that was assigned to him.
It’s dark when he opens the door, the room cool and empty from not being used. He switched on a light, closing the door beside him and letting the care package he had been given fall to the ground as he leaned against the wall. He was tired, so tired, but if he closed his eyes, all he could see were flashes of images that made his heart twist painfully into his chest. He could see Mr. Baul, Roberto, telling him that he was going to kill Eva, and that just made him see her face as she cried after Martin’s death. He saw Dr. Reichwein, he saw Mr. Vardemann. And of course, he saw Nina and Dieter, and he prayed for a moment that they were both all right back home.
Looking around the room, he moved away from the wall and went about looking around the small apartment. His old apartment had the same make up, the same smallness; though here there was the slight smell of disinfectant, the smell of a place wiped clean. He had stayed in many different places while on the run, and all of them, even the mattress in an empty loft still had a warm, homelike feel to it. This place didn’t have that.
“Welcome to your new home,” Tenma muttered, the sound of his voice almost like an echo in the empty space. But still, he walked into the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom, flipping all of the light switches on until he was bathed in golden light. If he didn’t move, he could almost see Dieter practicing with the soccer ball in the living room; he could see Rudy or Dr. Reichwein in the kitchen, preparing something to eat. The path he had taken was a lonely, harsh one, but it was something he needed to do.
"Look at me! Look at me! The monster inside me has already grown this large, Dr. Tenma!"
"Help! The monster inside me is about to explode!"
When he looked out the window, he could almost see Johan’s reflection in it, the young man staring at him as he pointed a finger to his forehead. Closing his eyes for a moment, Tenma opened them back up and looked out into the streets below him.
Tomorrow was going to be a good day, and all he needed to do was take some long needed rest and start anew in the morning.
This was a new beginning.
