Tentei: Difference between revisions

The Tentei ([[wikipedia:天帝|天帝]] ''Heaven Emperor'') is the ruler of the Central Capital and the masters of [[Gento Kō Ken]] are her personal guardians. Originally, the [[Hokuto Sōke]] was the "Shield of the Tentei" and [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] was used to defend the Tentei. It was also stated that the [[Nanto Roku Sei Ken]] used to guard each of the six gates to the Tentei's imperial palace.

Sometime in the late 20th century, twin Tentei daughters were born, [[Lui]] and [[Lin]]. This was an ill omen and threatened to split the Heavens in two. [[Jakō]] forced [[Falco]] to enforce the harsh archaic law: the younger twin Lin was to be killed. Falco could not go through with it and secretly gave Lin to a loving adoptive family. Lui grew up to be crowned Tentei and Lin was raised a commoner unaware of her true identity.

After the nuclear holocaust, Jakō kidnapped Lui and declared himself [[wikipedia:Regent|regent]]. [[Kenshiro]] and the [[Hokuto Army]] later helped liberate Lui and she and Lin were reuinited.

After being beaten by [[Kenshirō Kasumi]], [[wikipedia:Emperor of China|Emperor]] [[Aisin-Gioro Puyi]] exclaimed that the successor of [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] is supposed to be the Emperor's protector. It is unclear if this means that the Tentei is the same thing as the [[wikipedia:Emperor of China|Emperor of China]] or if Puyi is simply mistaken. ([[wikipedia:Pretender|He wasn't even really]] the Emperor of China at this point in history.)
