Question for clarification: which character in the screenshot needs a name?

Michael St. George

He looks like some kind of ninja-acolyte and an emissary of darkness. I was thinking of someone who hunts down criminals and enemies and locks them up. 'Senkyoushi' means "missionary" and 'rengoku' means "purgatory". Again, he seems to be more ceremonially dressed, like an ascetic or acolyte (though I admit this might have more to do with your artistic approach than your intended role or background for him), while still appearing as ninja or soldier of some kind, so I developed a mental image of him as someone who tracks down undesirables to place them into detention cells to atone for their crimes, by force if need be. I briefly considered the name "Jigoku" ("Hell") but decided against it since I was thinking he didn't look "demonic" enough for that to be fitting, so "Purgatory" sounded more apropos. #OverthinkingIt

Ah. I see. Japanese, eh? *pulls out Romaji.me, blows off the dust* 🌬 It's been a hot minute since I've tried my hand at anything like this. How about… "Rengokuno Senkyoushi"? {Rengoku no Senkyoushi}
