Plucked from the streets and thrust into an orphanage, Tenko carried a trauma too profound for words, rendering his files eerily bare. Nothing was known about the mute kid.

Isolated behind the old orphanage, Tenko was being shoved and kicked around by older kids, mocked and laughed at. Tenko’s instincts urged him to destroy them with his quirk but he clenches his fists tightly forcefully repressing those feelings.
