Anything we should know?: Bears are number one on the threatdown.
In Character Information
Name: Senri
Series: +Anima
Canon Standing: Post series
Age: 15
Birthday & Astrology Sign: April 30th, Taurus
Arcana: Strength
Personality:
When people first meet Senri, the impression they tend to get is is a very serious, stoic young man. It's a partially correct assumption. It is almost impossible to tell what Senri is thinking and his face rarely betrays much expression. He rarely loses his composure in a crisis, and isn't prone to any extreme emotional reaction. It has been suggested that he keeps his emotions in check to better control his anima, but Senri has neither confirmed nor denied this suspicion. This image is aided by the fact that Senri is generally very quiet, speaking only when necessary. Cooro and the others usually have to prompt responses out of him. Although he has no real problem answering question or giving opinions if you ask for them. Expect honesty though, because it really wouldn't occur to him to lie.
But despite first impressions, Senri actually is pretty emotional. The problem is that he doesn't display his emotions the way most people do. The clues are more subtle. He is an extremely kind and gentle person, and often goes out of his way to help others. When he saw Pinion running away from the researchers, he didn't hesitate to come to the child's aid. And at the time, he was unaware that the boy he'd saved was Rose's brother. He also has a strong protective streak, and was willing to stay in the field at Abon village for months just to defend their crops from a gang that wanted to mine for gold. And he never expects to get anything in return. He helps people because he can. He's very loyal to the people he cares about. He was willing to fight for Crystala after years of separation and with no concern for who her opponents were. If Crystala didn't like them, then they were bad. Simple as that.
Senri is also quite naive, and will generally accept what he is told at face value. His tendency to just go along with whatever he's told makes him very easy to trick. Nana often expresses concern about leaving Senri on his own, since she believes that bad people will take advantage of him. This is probably wise of her. Especially because Senri is disturbingly obedient. Unless he actively dislikes someone, (like Igneous) he will generally just do whatever they tell him to. In fact, he rarely worries about the moral implications of what he's doing. When Penelope ran away from home, he still helped her to evade concerned relatives. And he'll frequently take the side of anyone who has been nice to him and defend them, not really caring who is at fault.
Another common misconception about Senri is that he's stupid. This is not true. He's uneducated and illiterate, but actually has learned a number of useful skills. And he can be taught new things by a patient teacher. He is a little slow on the uptake, but that has a lot more to do with the severe psychological trauma he's been dealing with for most of his life. His father, also a bear +Anima, lost his humanity after fighting with a deranged bear. He tried to kill Senri, who then received an anima that was a combination of both his father's and the now deceased man eating bear. Senri killed his father with this power. He was eight years old at the time. Leaving Senri with a massive amount of guilt and a tainted anima. The only way he could deal with the pain was to forget everything. Even his ability to create new memories was damaged.
When his tribe was attacked and destroyed after that, he was sold into slavery. The woman who bought him, Crystala, was smart enough to come up with a solution to his memory problems. She gave him a book, and told him that as long as he kept a physical reminder in there, he would remember the important things. This is fairly significant because it's success suggests that Senri's problems are not physical in nature. He can remember things, he just thinks he can't. She does the same thing when she discovers how close he is to losing himself in his anima. She tells him that his eye patch will help him retain his humanity. This also works, to a certain extent. Although Senri does exhibit certain feral behaviors. Growling when he's angry and licking people's wounds are the most obvious of these.
Backstory:
Series
Character
Canon Powers:
Anima: (Physical) In his world, some people are granted powers by animal spirits. In Senri's case, the spirit of a bear saved his life when he was only a child and facing his possessed and deranged Father in combat. So now Senri is part bear. This makes him stronger, tougher, and grants him better physical senses. It also allows him to transform his arm into a bear's claw. When not in use, his anima appears as a tattoo that runs the length of Senri's right arm.
The downside is that Senri's anima is tainted with the madness of a deranged man eating bear. This, combined with his peculiar blend of psychological damage, results in Senri being more feral than most +Anima. And, under the right kinds of emotional stress, Senri can lose control and undergo a dangerous full body transformation. In this state, he has no recognition of friend or foe and just attacks everyone.
Canon Weapons|Items:
Besides his claws, the only weapon he carries is a long hunting knife. There's nothing too special about it. He also carries a smaller knife for whittling, but that doesn't really qualify as a weapon.
Canon Allies: N/A
Canon Baggage:
Besides his clothing, there are two items that Senri always carries on his person. Both were given to him by Crystala, who bought him at a slave market when he was a child. First is an eye patch made from a belt that he had worn in mourning for his father. She told him it would help him keep his humanity. And it has. As long as he wears it over his blind eye, the mad bear's spirit won't gain control of him.
The second is a book. Senri's mental damage was so severe that it was interfering with his ability to create and retain memories. When Crystala figured out what was wrong, she gave Senri a book. The text in the book is unimportant, as Senri can't read anyway. But Crystala told him that if he put a keepsake in the book to remind him of things, he wouldn't forget. She added a flower to represent herself, And after that, he always remembered her. He adds something to the book every time he meets someone new. If he loses the book, his memories go with it. You can imagine how much that sucks...
