Rentaro Satomi

Rentaro Satomi (蓮太郎・里見 Rentarō Satomi) is a young teen enrolled in school and forming part of the Tendo's Civil Security Company; as a Civil Security member. His Initiator is Enju Aihara.

Appearance
Rentaro Satomi is a young teen of small frame and messy black hair, with slightly slanted eyes and blue irises. His black hair partially covers the whole of his forehead; reaching down below his eyes with a parted set of bangs untidily forming. Rentaro possesses thick sideburns connected to his hair which hang loose around his cheekbones on either side. Further; several strands of his unkept hair, having gasp in several locations, arch around his thin eyebrows and hover on top of his thick eyelashes. His nose serves as roof to thin lips and a small jawline. He has small ears and normal-sized feet. Despite his profession, Rentaro shows no scars in any visible part of his body.

Rentaro dons a black suit covering his body entirely. The jacket, which he leaves open with solely one button connecting the two sides in the center, displays a much lighter color in the inside; resembling the color light blue. On the right side, there's a strap of the same light blue color linearly craved from the collar of the jacket to the bottom. Additionally, the inner collar displays thin black lines similar to the ones on the strap. Underneath the jacket, there is a notable white shirt with a large turtle neck held together by a black tie around his neck. Around his wrist, Rentaro keeps the large blue cuff, with a small white line circling around the middle, folded accordingly. The shirt underneath the jacket is kept in messy standard, as one of the sides is inside the pants whilst the other is left out in the open. Rentaro's lower body is sheltered by a pair of pants that are held around his waist by a blue belt with a small white line encompassing around the center; serving as a form of adornment. The back of the black pants show two pockets, each serving as inventory for his wallet containing his Civil Security license. He travels around in high black shoes that have a brown color at the bottom.

Personality
Rentaro, whilst seemingly low-tempered, is a loving young boy that, despite public view, treats everyone; the cursed children included, as equal. Said statement is further emphasized when Enju, she herself being a cursed child, is mistreated by her school peers due to the Gastrea blood running through her veins; Rentaro unthinkingly exist his own school to go by her side. However, under pressure and when in situations where he has no control over, he acts towards them like most of society, even to the point of solely watching a cursed child being abused by humans and slapping her hand away in an un-wantonly manner. Though, he does repent over his actions and later helps the child that was left at the gates of death by human hands.

Rentaro shows, however, anger when spoken to of his dead parents. When Kisara inquisitively questions his ambition to "find" them, he burst out into a cry of vivid fury and abruptly leaves her without saying another word. He sometimes portrays lack of confidence when it comes to his skills as a fighter, even to the point of dropping a mission given to him by the agency. Even so, when faced with threat greater than him, Rentaro retains his calm nature and gains the strength he needs to protect the ones he cares for.

History
At a the age of six, Rentaro's parents passed away, leaving him at the care of Kikunojyo Tendo, who wantonly welcomed him into the Tendo family with open arms. However, as tears dropped down his face, Rentaro held a burned charcoal in his hands as he ran from the funeral of both his parents telling himself that his parents were in fact alive and that he will find them. When the cursed children were born into the world, women would give birth by a river to quickly drown them and relieve themselves from the burden; Rentaro bared witness to this as a kid as he walked near a river. When Gastrea first began, Rentaro was attacked and mortally wounded, but healed by several doctors after he signed a contract to live. During his first days as a Civil Security member, when Rentaro first met Enju, the former was attacked by the latter instantaneously.

Civil Security arc
Whilst scratching the back of his head, Rentaro is asked by Tadashima if he is truly the Civil Security member they sent as reinforcement, to which he responds affirmatively and states that if he does not believe him he will just return home. However, he is then questioned by Tadashima to show him his license, which he does, and quickly receives it back as the latter confirms his statement. Commencing the operation, Tadashima informs Rentaro that on the second floor, where the accident happened, the roof was leaking blood. Quietly standing behind the man, Rentaro is told that it's thanks to him that they will be able to investigate the crime scene further, aiding him to enter the building. Along the way, he is asked what happened to his Initiator, causing him to shudder and remember said person fall from his bike on the way to his current location. Afterwards, when they arrive to the room, Tadashima confronts one of his men for entering the room without permission, but Rentaro simply shakes it off and, taking a hold of Tadashima's shoulder, orders him to stand to the side as he will enter the room.

Readying his gun, Rentaro bashes into the door, successfully entering the room and inspecting his surroundings. Finding nothing, he stands still until hearing a voice. He turns around and sees two men terribly beaten and a masked man standing in front of them. The masked man looks at Rentaro and tells him that he is late, and confirms that he was the one who killed the men behind him. Rentaro rushes towards him and attacks, but is met by a similar attack that blocks his and sends him flying backwards. As they fight, the masked man holds the upper hand. When suddenly, he receives a call, and picking up the phone, shoots the men entering the room wanting revenge. Enraged, Rentaro picks up his speed and hits the masked man in the face, but proves futile nonetheless as the latter simply hangs his phone and takes his leave after asking for Rentaro's name.

Befuddled, Rentaro is brought out of his train of thought when Tadashima enters the room and shakes him. He quickly orders them to search for the source of the infection, which they do but come out empty handed at the end. Rentaro then looks at a photo near him, asking Tadashima if the man lived alone, to which he responds positively; a divorced. Searching the area, he comes close to a puddle of blood and ponders what could of happened. Analyzing the situation, Rentaro tells Tadashima to give out the order to evacuate the civilians due to the infected and the infection being out in the wild. Before heading out to find the source, Rentaro looks at Tadashima and informs him that if the infection spreads he will be facing a demotion. The two leave the building and look for the Gastrea.

As they walk around, they see traces of blood, and quickly locate the Gastrea. Stating the Gastrea's type, Rentaro watches as Tadashima shoots at it, having no effect. Seconds later, Rentaro saves Tadashima from an incoming attack. After explaining that regular bullets have no harm on the Gastrea, Rentaro takes his gun from him and gets ready to fight the Gastrea, telling him to leave it to him. Rentaro shoots the Gastrea multiple times, but, unlike Tadashima's attacks, inflicting harm upon it. However, as he stops his attacks and moves in to inspect it, he is almost ambushed if not for a young girl stepping in and killing the Gastrea with a kick. Whilst standing behind her, Rentaro hears her state her name and inform Tadashima that she is Rentaro's Initiator: Enju Aihara.

Rentaro is informed by Enju what happened 10 minutes prior to his arrival, and then turns to look at Tadashima to apologize for being careless against a low level enemy. However, he states that it's fine, and asks Rentaro to explain the reason why his bullets were working in comparison to his. Rentaro takes out a bullet and shows it to him, calling it "Black Bullet - made from Varanium", which can cause wounds to Gastrea that they won't be able to recover from. He then proceeds to explain the various ways in which Varanium can be used, shocking Tadashima. Quickly asking a new question related to Enju's flaring eyes, he is met by the response of she being an Initiator.

Moments later, Rentaro is told by Enju that, when she was not around, he did very well against a Gastrea, and is kissed on the lips by the young girl. Though, angry, she kicks him in the groin for leaving her behind like he did, causing him to fall on the ground in pain. On the ground, Rentaro looks at Enju and notices the wound on her back, but is relieved when she heals it with her extraordinary recovery speed. Rentaro then explains to the confused Tadashima that despite their superior abilities, Initiators have the hearts of humans, and it is the reason why he will show her the way. Called by Enju, he is told of the man's dying words before turning into a Gastrea, looking at the dead Gastrea in sorrow.

Rentaro gets ready to leave as he parts ways with Tadashima when Enju questions if they can still make it to the limited sale, causing him to take a piece of paper out of his pocket and being to run away as he tells Tadashima that one bag of beam sprouts is only 6 yen; leaving the latter ultimately shocked. Along the way, Rentaro and Enju see the Monoliths that protect the area around, amazed by their height. He explains to Enju that probably the whole world is protected by Monoliths, which are made from Varanium. Reaching back to the company, Rentaro is confronted by and angry boss, who begins to chase him around and, after getting tired, tells him not to call her by her name whilst at work, instead; president. Sitting down, Rentaro is confronted by Kisara for forgetting the reward and not telling her about the limited sale. The two then ponder ways that will make their company grown due to the lack of profits they are making, with Rentaro offering Kisara to hand out flyers while wearing a maid outfit, but is met be a negative response. Quickly changing the topic to work, Rentaro is told by Kisara that the original Gastrea that infected the man is yet be located, and currently there haven't been any witness reports; leaving Rentaro horrified.

The Cursed Children arc
Rentaro speaks to Kisara and believes that it is impossible to think that there is not even one witness report on the source of the infection, only to be told by Kisara that there is one, as she looks at him. He asks her for the government's reasons for not sounding the alarm, but Kisara explains that the government would not use compulsory measures such as the evacuation alarm, and tells him that it's up to Civil Security to find the original Gastrea. Rentaro begs to differ, and states that he will seek the opinion of an expert, namely his sensei; receiving encouragement from Kisara. The two get ready to leave when Rentaro asks Kisara if she would like for him to escort her home, but is told that she will be headed elsewhere first. Kisara asks him if Enju had already went home, to which he responds affirmatively and is soon asked by Kisara to reveal his goal; asking if it's to find Enju's parents noting as he gave up on finding his a long time ago. However, he feels uncomfortable and, after telling her to stay out of his business, storms out whilst calling her annoying.

Outside, Rentaro seats and remembers his parents' funeral, thinking to himself that he will apologize to Kisara the next day as he walks away. Reaching a hospital and an intricate door, he is met by a creepy figure in the other side, who turns out to be his sensei holding a statue. He watches as she personifies the status, and then talks to her about the Gastrea. Sumire approaches him yells at him for not killing it more carefully, following to question him if he has already lost hope in the world in a comic way. She takes a seat and tells Rentaro that if he will always be the way he is, Kisara will dump him, causing him to blush and remind her that she was inaugurated into the secrets of the "Tendo Sword Style" and that a beginner of the Tendo Combat Style like himself would stand no chance at victory when in a fight. Rentaro hears as Sumire solely states that she knows, but also reminds him that she used to protect him when they were young, angering him.

The two commence to talk about Gastrea and their superior abilities, with Sumire claiming that the original Gastrea managed to escape using something she calls Evolutionary Jump. Rentaro contradicts her and believes it was able to camouflage itself. Before they can continue, Rentaro brings up Enju's name as he claims that they will protect Tokyo from the Gastrea, when suddenly Sumire begins to speak about the cursed children and how they were born to fight the Gastrea. Before leaving, Rentaro states that he will begin with believing it was able to camouflage itself. Reaching back home and cooking for both him and Enju, who claims it is delicious, he looks at the time and informs Enju that it's time for her shots. He grabs the an erosion resistance shot and begins to insert the liquid in her. Rentaro recalls the time women would have give birth by rivers to drown their kids if they were born with Gastrea blood, he as well remembers the time he met Enju; attacked by the latter due to her distrust for humans. He finishes giving her the shot, and soon brings a portable bed out to the floor, ignoring Enju's statement about her heart being ready, annoying her. The next morning, Rentaro wakes up with injuries from Enju's anger, and states that he does not want to go to school; claiming that he will use leaving his bike near the accident scene as an excuse. As he walks out the bathroom he sees an energetic Enju bring the news of the landlady lending them her bike. Before they leave their house to go to school, the news calls for their attention as Tokyo's protector, Seitenshi, appears.

Rentaro watches the news closely as Seitenshi and Kikunojyo Tendo, standing beside her, approach a balcony. Enju looks at Kikunojyo and immediately turns to Rentaro, who dismisses said man and looks at the time; rushing out the house as he turns the television off. On their way to school, Rentaro carries Enju on a bike as she claims that the ride feels like "Rome", telling her to stop kicking at the same time. Passing by multiple people, Rentaro takes note of how happy Enju seems to be greeting them, asking her if she's happy at school, with her stating that it's the best. Dropping her off, he reminds her to keep the kids at school from knowing that she is one of the cursed children. Enju, looking at Rentaro in a serious manner, confirms that she is already aware of the fact and receives and apology from the latter. Momentarily, her friend, Mai, comes along and walks to class with Enju. Rentaro then grabs the bike and heads to his school.

Once there and after it's time for lunch, he receives a call from Kisara, but ignores until said person comes to his class and asks him for his motives for not picking up. She informs him that they were summoned by the Ministry of Defense, prompting Rentaro to ask for their reasons, with Kisara bluntly telling him that their current location is not the place to be exposing said information. As they leave the room, he is asked by Kisara for his IP rank, and followed by asking him for an estimate of Enju's IP if she were to switch partners; claiming that if she were with another Promoter her IP would be 1000 or lower. Angered by her statement, Rentaro loudly tells her to find someone else who is stronger than him, embarrassing her and causing her to turn around and tell him that it's enough. When suddenly, he hears her stomach growling; ordering him to give her his food seconds later.

On the train, Rentaro, who has a sleeping Kisara on his shoulders, hears her speaking in her sleep about getting revenge on the Tendo, hugging her afterwards. Once they arrive to the place, they talk among themselves about the original Gastrea until being welcomed by a young girl. Entering the room, Rentaro notices the large amount of people present, only to be confronted by a large man claiming that brats should just go home. Rentaro solely stands there and asks for his company's name, but is met by a headbutt that sends him back. Picking himself up, he gets ready to fight the man.

Rentaro is called irritating, but returns the insult to the man assaulting him. As soon as he grabs his gun, the tall figures asks him for his "tool's" whereabouts; leading him to ponder his statement. The man then confirms that by "tool" he is speaking of the Initiator, which angers Rentaro and forces him to contradict his statement about them being tools. However, before they can continue their small scuffle, Kisara stops Rentaro whilst a man stop the hefty man. Rentaro then speaks to Kisara, who informs him of Shougen Ikuma's IP rank, shocking him. Watching as the man walks away, he takes note of the girl standing beside him, wondering if she is his Initiator.

Afterwards, when two men enter the room and commence the meeting by turning on a live streaming of Seitenshi, Rentaro looks at Kisara, who is glaring at her grandfather, Kikunojyo, and remembers that he is her sworn target. Rentaro hears as Seitenshi reveals the mission of retrieving a case, and watches as Kisara questions her about the contents of the case; but in return gets no answer. As he watches this, a loud laugh interrupts the meeting, revealing to be the masked man introducing himself as Kagetane Hiroku. Rentaro grabs his gun and confronts him, but a small girl, who turns out to be Kagetane's own daughter and Initiator, passes by his side without being noticed. He is seen by her when she stands next to her father, and hears her asking him if she could cut him down.

Rentaro questions his purpose for coming to their meeting, and is told that he is in search of the Inheritance of the Seven Stars. Before he can speak further, Rentaro watches and Shougen grabs his sword and is helped by his Initiator while attacking the masked man, but proves futile nonetheless. The men in the room, Rentaro included, begin to shoot Kagetane, but have their bullets sent back at them. Kagetane then leaves a present for Rentaro, and heads out through the window. Sequentially, a man enters the room and announces the president's death, as well as claiming that the corpse's head is missing. Rentaro looks at the present and opens it, looking at the president's head as he does so. Seitenshi, however, dismisses it and explains to them that they must find the Inheritance of the Seven Stars before the enemy; or Tokyo will meet its end.

Rentaro is at a shop with Enju being asked for his opinion on several items, until Enju finds a bracelet of friendship and decides to buy it. As they leave the store Rentaro grabs one of the bracelets, which crack when the users lie, and puts it on, trying it out by saying that he loves Enju; but nothing happens. Smirking, he looks at Enju and tells her that they don't work, but Enju confirms that he is telling the truth as she smiles devilishly. Continuing to walk they see Seitenshi on a nearby screen which leads Rentaro to remember the happenings the day before. Enju shakes him out of his thoughts and is told by Rentaro that if a new law allowing is a success, Gastrea infected children are to be treated more like humans, causing her to joyously grip his hand and express her excitement.

Rentaro then watches as a young girl, who turns out to be a cursed child, is being persecuted by the people for stealing. Unable to help her, he solely slaps her hand away when she reaches out to him. The police then arrives and takes her away, leaving both Rentaro and Enju speechless as they badmouth the cursed children. When they reach a different area, Enju angrily confronts Rentaro as to why he didn't help the young girl, with her eyes flaring with anger. Rentaro takes her to an alley and explain to her that he was not able to do anything, seeing as she begins to cry. He then asks her if she was someone she knew, with Enju responding affirmatively. Hearing this, he tells her to go back home as he walks towards a person with a scooter; asking said person to hand it over when he shows them his license.

As he drives past several buildings, he looks around until finally locating the small girl and the police men. However, what he witnesses makes him horrified as the young girl is shot multiple times by the police men. As soon as they leave, he rushes to her side and begins to question their motives for doing this. As he holds her, he remembers speaking to Kisara about Civil Security and its job to protect people, which leads him to ponder if said statement is true after what he witnessed. Sadden by the events, he picks the girl up and notices she is still alive. He rushes her to a hospital, leaving her at the care of the doctors. Whilst crossing the street, he is met by Kagetane and his odd looking gun.
