The House of Tengu - An 0N1 Story

The House of Tengu - OSATO

Years ago, when the House of Tengu was a little known prankster gang, Osato had been a member of the Tigers Den, a gang that, had she been stronger in his resolve and focus at that point in time, he never would have associated with. One evening, as he was leaving one of the gangs safehouses, he got a message from the boss of the Tigers Den saying that any active or past member of the Den needed to go into hiding. After a few lonely days wondering what had happened, he discovered that members of the Den had ended up moving down the path of excessive violence, killing members of an Enclave family in a botched robbery. When the gang gathered to discuss next steps, Osato was horrified to hear that, aside from him, the TIgers Den members showed no remorse, and were more worried about how this would impact their developing relationship with 0ber1n than the killing of innocent 0N1. Osato left the Den, and, upon meeting Kha05 while running an independent job from the local merc market, the Tube, came to understand who Kha05 was, and what the gang he was a part of had done.

When Osato shared his affiliation with the Den those years back, he expected Kha05 to disassociate with him. And yet, the transparency that he provided was exactly what he was looking for to bolster the House of Tengu, the gang that he was hoping to strengthen.

Their relationship had been strong ever since. Osato was open with him, and Kha05 provided the same trust in him. With his parents no longer alive, Kha05, and the House of Tengu, provided the family he needed to feel connected in a very alien world.
