Shinji Tanimura

Shinji Tanimura (谷村 真治) is a Japanese Otherworlder and a disciple of Gadra. He was granted asylum in Tempest and currently works as Ramiris' assistant.

Appearance
A young man with black hair and eyes. He wears a lab coat.

Personality
Shinji is a laidback man, his disinterest in the Eastern Empire's rank battles prove that he isn't power craving, and prefers spending his time in the lab. As Ramiris' assistant he's far more at home in his new environment. He's diligent enough to always keep updated on the constant ongoings of the world, unlike Mark. Like the latter, he used to be an avid gamer back when he was still in Japan as he was overly familiar with the dungeon RPG mechanics the labyrinth floor designs took after.

Background
Shinji was a 23-year-old university student who spent most of his days in the lab. One day he fell victim to an unspecified nation's summoning ritual and got transported to the otherworld. He was then taken in by Yuuki, sent to the Eastern Empire, and wound up Gadra's tutelage. At some point he was dispatched as part of the subjugation force tasked with bringing down the demon behind the Lakeshore Dyed Scarlet. The unit suffered significant losses, leaving less than 30% survivors, including Shinji.

Eve of War
After Yuuki joined the Empire and became a corps commander, Shinji wanting to pay back his debt to him, left the Armored Corps and transferred to the Mixed Corps led by the youth.

Prior to the Eastern Empire's war declaration, Shinji, Mark and Xin, were ordered by Gadra and Yuuki to investigate the labyrinth to confirm the existence of an underground research facility.

After a few events, they were accepted asylum in Tempest and now work under Ramiris as her assistants.

Gadra
They have a master-student relationship. Gadra would scold him Shinji whenever he made a mistake.

Yuuki Kagurazaka
Shinji is indebted to him for taking him in so when Yuuki became a corps commander, Shinji left the Armored Corps and came under him.

Mark and Xin
Shinji's teammates. They are quite close to each other as they share each other's idea of defecting to Tempest once they realized they enjoy life there more than they did in the Empire.

Ramiris
Along with Mark and Xin, they are employed as Ramiris' assistants in her research. Shinji found her to be a pleasant and likable individual. Together, they conduct research in whatever they want while having fun at the same time.
