Hmm... After filling this out, I'm tempted to draw some ChromexTamekoxRokudou art... >.>
Name: Tenrai Tameko (Japanese order; surname, then given name)
Gender: Male... probably
Age: 12
Famiglia: N/A
Appearance: As if to compliment his pure personality, Tameko has been given the appearance of one eternally innocent. Fair skin, a slight build, long eyelashes, and delicate, feminine features, often quick to blush in embarrassment, all add up to being the nigh epitome of the word "cute." However, it's also lead to his being mistaken as a girl on more than one occasion. His eyes, wide and expressive as they are, are a startlingly deep emerald-green, though even more unusual in color about him is his hair. For as long as he can remember, it's always grown in naturally in two different styles and colors, despite how much he might try to change it; the main part is spiky and turquoise, while his long bangs are purple and seemingly straighter.

Personality: Tameko is, in a nutshell, the perfect blend of the "girl-next-door" and "cute, shy loli" archetypes (other than the fact that he's not female). He's kind and caring by nature, and seeks to help others in everything he does. Unsurprisingly, he's managed to hold onto the belief that there's a little good in everyone, no matter how bad they seem on the surface. To this end, even if someone is a complete stranger, he's been known to go to unbelievable lengths to assist them, all for the simple reward of knowing he was able to make someone's life easier. And, as if that weren't enough, he's just as innocent as he is selfless, with a naive streak as long as the blade he wields. When it comes to romance, he's not above fainting in certain... *ahem* suggestive situations. He tries to keep the urge to pass out in check when in the company of others, but he's still undeniably shy around girls. Actually, he's shy around pretty much everyone when meeting them for the first time, although it doesn't take much to get him to warm up to you. In general, he does his best to make everyone happy, but has been known to neglect his own value.
Weapon: Reverbero Aria-Filo,** a broadword of epic proportions. Although it would seem pointless to use such a large hand-to-hand combat weapon in this age of firearms, it can be charged with Tameko's dying will flame to emit hyper-accelerated sound waves, which distort the air they pass through and leave in their wake a dangerously sharp patch of nothingness by breaking up the actual air molecules that previously occupied the space. Needless to say, this renders bullets fired at him from any normal projectile weapons useless, as they can't pass through the non-existent areas left by Reverbero's swings.
Flame Affinity: Mist
Crush(s): Bianchi, Chrome, Rokudou(?)
Past: If Tameko ever had what is generally considered to be a "normal" childhood, he can't remember it. His earliest memories are of being strapped down to a lab table, the figures in doctor's masks standing around and over him ignoring the child's pleas as they went about performing countless surgical operations on his still-concious form. From the beginning he was nothing more than a guinea pig, the result of a joint operation between the Italian government and the Japanese military to create an anti-Mafia force to counter the supposedly "secret" testings being conducted by the Estraneo Famiglia. Obviously someone had heard something from a little bird, although this information proved to he a double-edged sword in the end.
By the time Tameko was allowed to move about, away from the horrific laboratory he'd spent so many years trapped in, he could hardly be called human any longer. Despite his seemingly fragile appearance, his body had been strengthened to the absolute limits of its potential, encorporating technologies ranging from bioengineering to nanobots to even the manipulation of his dying will flame. With no past and, thanks to the components that had been burned into his body that allowed him to be controlled like a puppet, seemingly no future, he carried out his first few attacks against various Mafia families with dead, expressionless eyes.
But, as was mentioned previously, there was a flaw in the plan; namely, the plan itself. Everything had been set up by the strongest result of what Tameko had originally been made to stop, Mukuro Rokudou. So, it should be no surprise that after the pattern continuing for several years, Tameko returned from his latest attack on the Mafia to find all of the people who had previously controlled him dead, the only living figure left behind a sarcastically-grinning, black-haired boy in whose right eye the Japanese kanji for "6" could be seen plainly. As ironic as it may be, now that he was free to do as he chose, the path Tameko decided to follow, that of walking alongside this mysterious youth, was the same one he had been designed for all along.
Although in Japan with Rokudou and the others of the Kokuyou gang at the time of its clashing with Tsuna's family, he took no part in the battles. For unknown reasons, Rokudou attacked the boy shortly after Chikusa first made contact with Gokudera, and Tameko, feeling betrayed by the one person he'd opened his heart to, fled. He didn't realized until after all of the fighting had finished that Rokudou was trying to keep him safe, but by then it was too late for him to do anything.
In the months that followed, left behind by the closest thing he'd ever had to a family, Tameko attempted to live a normal life, even going to far as to enroll in Namimori Junior High, which is where he encountered Tsuna and the others. Unaware of the fact that he should consider them his enemies, he felt a strong connection with the group, and eventually began to form the initial bonds of friendship.
...At least until a certain archaic-speaking youth showed up in Japan. As his secret had not been found out by any of Tsuna's family, he was kept even more in the dark about the battle with Varia than Kyoko. Worried that the reason his friends suddenly seemed so distant and cold was because he was about to be "betrayed" again, he stole out in secret one night and followed them back to school. From his hiding place outside the window of Namimori's gym, he was amazed to see two familiar faces, those of Chigusa and Ken, and a girl with them who, albeit being unfamiliar, radiated the sense of a certain illusionist. Long story short, it was pratically a case of love at first sight.
In the brief period of respite following the scramble for the rings, Tameko learned exactly why Rokudou had chosen Chrome, and how alike the three of them were. To this very day, the precious memories he cherishes most are of that time Tameko spent with the girl he'd fallen for. Sadly, they were were short-lived, as not long after the eyepatch-wearing girl was torn loose from her own time and thrown into an alien future, leaving Tameko behind. No matter how hard he looked, she, and all the other friends he'd managed to make, had vanished into thin air. So, heavy-hearted, he finally accepted the fact that there was nothing he could do for them, and set his eyes on a new goal. Currently he's en route back to his home country, determined to free Rokudou from confinement no matter what the cost. However, something must have gone wrong along the way, because there is no Tameko in the corrupted future Tsuna has gone to change.
What do you think of... (Characters not included are either those that are insignificant or those who Tameko has not had contact with)
Tsuna: Even though he's suppose to be the leader of the Vongola one day, he's not at all like the mafia members that I've... well, you know... killed... Um, I really feel indebted to him, since he reached out to befriend me even though I didn't know anyone... Even if he's somone that Mukuro-sama seems to think of as an enemy, I don't want to have to fight him... If the two of them ever fight again, though... I just hope I'm strong enough to stop them...
Hayato: I don't think he likes me very much... It always felt like he was glaring at me whenever I'd talk to Tsuna...
Takeshi: Uwaah, he's so cool~! He's much nicer to me than Gokudera! I feel bad, though, since I've never been able to do anything for him, and the one time I could have, I failed... Since... since I never learned how to use my sword other than to kill people, I couldn't be useful as a training partner... He says not to worry about it, but... Oh, and also... Even though he always says he thinks everything is a game, I've got a sneaking suspicion that he really knows what's going on, and only acts that way so the others won't worry about him...
Ryohei: Where, WHERE?! Ever since he saw me in a fight that one time, he's been trying to get me to join the boxing club as well... T_T I think I'm gonna die just from running away all the time...
Hibari: It's odd... From what I'd heard about him from other people, I'm exactly the sort of person he hates... It seems, though... That whenever I run into him by myself, he just ignores me, and when I'm with a group... he usually goes after other people more than me... The only thing I can really think of though is that it has something to do with my connection with Mukuro-sama...
Lambo: He's funny! ^_^ Even if the others seem to get annoyed by him, I don't really mind... Whenever I'm in a bad mood he always somehow manages to find a way to cheer me up... Although, sometimes I do want to be left alone, so it's not always great that he's so playful...
Chrome: I... Whenever I think about her... my heart seems to skip a beat... We're both victims of a destiny that someone else decided for us, so of course it's only natural for me to think of her as a kindred spirit, but it's more than that... I really do... care about her...
Dino: I didn't know there were people like him out there... I know that, unlike almost everyone else, he knows what I am and what I've done, and yet he still accepted me when he saw I was friends with Tsuna... He's really strong, too... I know what I'm about to say is going to make me sound like a little kid, but... he's the sort of person I want to be like when I get older...
Longchamp: Hehe, I like him. =P The girls he hangs out with are sort of scary, though... O-of course I'd never tell him that! >.< But... but still...
Reborn: I... don't really understand him... I'm sure that, like Dino, he knows that I've made an enemy of a lot of mafia families by attacking their members, but he doesn't seem to mind me, even though if I were in his place I'd probably be suspicious of my being an enemy... But.... it's not like he's said he wants me to be a part of Tsuna's family either... I-I-I don't mean that I hold it against him or anything! As you can probably guess, if it were me, I wouldn't let me be a part of it either...
Colonnello: He says I'm weak... T.T Since the one time he visited and Reborn tried to get him to train us, I didn't want to do the sparring part... He kicked me in the head... T_T
Viper: Wha-?! He's just like Colonello and Reborn?! o_0 Well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, seeing how strong he was when he fought... I didn't actually meet him though, so... But but wow... I mean, for Chrome and Rokudo to beat an Arcobaleno? They're even more amazing than I thought...
Rokudo: I... um... W-well, he's just... that is... o////o I owe him so much that I can't even begin to describe my feelings... It's different than how I feel about Chrome, since I also look up to Rokudo as the sort of um... well... as my savior... No matter what I did, it would never be enough to repay him for all that he's done for me... Not even giving him my body would be equ... W-wait, that's... that's not how I meant it to sound! >///////<
Chikusa: Does he even know I exist? It's probably not much of a surprise to anybody, but the way he treats Chrome and the way he treats me are almost the same... Still, at least it's better than what Ken does...
Ken: Again, Chrome and I are largely the same in his eyes... It doesn't bother me in the sense that I hate him for disliking me or anything... I just sort of... hate myself for not being able to protect her from him and his insults...
Lancia: He doesn't like me either, but at least with him I know the reason why... It's because of how important Mukuro-sama is to me... I think that aside from that, we're actually pretty similar, though... I know it's an impossible dream, but one day I'd like to become friends with him...
I-Pin: I... I always feel bad, since I can never understand what she's saying... @_@
Bianchi: She-she's really beautifu- Nonononononono bad stupid perverted Tameko! Don't say things like that! >_< *furiously shakes head* B-but... but umm... I... I don't want to compare my friends in this way, but it seems like... even compared to Tsuna... she accepted a shy, strange, discarded orphan like me... Also, her cooking is really delicious... Why does nobody else like it...?*** Also, she says for me to think of her as my big sister, but... I don't want to give Gokudera another reason to be mad at me...
Dr. Shamal: He's a meanie... T_T A-and that one time when he met Chrome... The thing he said... o/////o Nya, baka hentai!!
Futa: He's nice... I hope he didn't take offense when I declined his offer to do a ranking for the people most important to me... I-it's not that I didn't want him to, but... Um... I think... those aren't the kinds of things that should just be discussed freely by other people...
Kyoko: Um... well... Since we're both sort of shy about our feelings for others and have low self-esteem, we try to help each other out whenever we can... I... I don't really understand how she feels about Tsuna, even though I know she knows he likes her...
Haru: She's a lot different than Kyoko, huh? I mean, when it comes to the person she likes, she's not at all afraid to say what she feels... I really admire her for being able to do that...
Hana: She says I look just like an annoying little brat... T____T
Nana Sawada: I... I guess it's good that she didn't mind when I ended up eating breakfast at Tsuna's house that one time (it's a long story. Let's just say Reborn, Lambo, candy, and the 10-Year Bazooka were involved), but is it really a good idea for her to accept all the weird things that go on around her unquestioningly like that...?
Lambo (15 years old): No way Lambo grows up into this guy! O.O Although... he seems less reliable than he looks, althought that could just be me... ^^;; I also sort of think that he's got a ton of potential... I dunno why, it's just the feeling I get...
I-Pin (15 years old): W-wow, she's cute... o/////o Um... I've never had the chance, but one day I'd like to ask her why it was that she decided not to be an assassin anymore...
*"His Gallery." Guess what language it's in.
**"Reverberation Air-Blade"
***Because of all the modifications made to his body, Tameko's largely immune to Poison Cooking.
