Masaki Kagura

In the land of fantasy known as Gensokyo. A magically sealed away land protected from the modern aesthetics of the outside world. There exists a mountain known as the Youkai Mountain to its inhabitants. Near the peak of said mountain there exists a species of youkai known as the Tengu. They are known for having their own village and society on this mountain. Most of them are of the avian variety, but there do exist the wolf tengu. Among these wolf tengu exist one such wolf with an important ability for his people and Gensokyo. His name is Masaki Kagura.
	Coming into existence around the year of one-thousand seven hundred and fourteen, Masaki’s existence was well known long before the creation of the Great Hakurei Barrier and Gensokyo’s separation from the outside world. He was a part of a pack of wolf tengu who favored balance and equality over all else. His pack had very high significance for him as he aged. As a pup he was trained in all manner of Tengu arts. From swordsmanship to magic as he prospered evenly in both categories. He is an all-around wolf tengu of his own caliber.
	Though one day he had woke up to notice his pack was gone. Seemingly something had wiped them all out and he was the only one left. Not wanting to bring down his family name, he continued to seek out any methods to continue his existence and his own training. His pack had good connections with the other Tengu of the mountain. His pack knowing practically every Tengu family of importance.
	The reason his family having been wiped out was unknown to him. Though he felt it better to not ask questions as he continued bettering himself. Eventually word among the Tengu had spread to one of the veteran wolves. The one and only Momiji Inubashiri. Deciding to take the younger pupil in as an apprentice she happily helped better his skills. Over time he came to know many other Tengu of his kind. Even awakening his own personal ability.
	Masaki shows the typical Tengu traits. Being prideful, enjoying sake, and being territorial and protective of his people. On top of that he exudes a rather neutral calm about him. Keeping his wits about him in the toughest of situations. He may have some moments of weakness but all in all keeps a steady flow about things. Not one to think about consequences he normally extends his assistance to others outside of Tengu Territory. Wanting things run as properly as possible and balance kept.

	His personal ability like all native Gensokyo dwellers have, is the ability to give balance to anything. His bloodline being focused on balance and equality only had few who had this ability. With it, Masaki can bring stronger beings down to his level. Resulting in a fair and even match when it comes to duels. Masaki is a vital asset to his kind as most conflict is resolved within moments upon activation of his ability. He also shares typical wolf traits. His sensory capabilities are beyond compare to the other wolfs. Helping him see, hear, and use his other senses to catch danger in its tracks.
