Editing Masamune (section)

==History==

===Background===
The Japanese hero team [[Sentai Elite]] had a tinker with extremely similar abilities who produced their equipment before [[Kyushu]].<ref name="22.y">The Sentai joined him, adding their ranged fire to his.  They had a man who mass produced their armor and weapons, each with wrist-mounted laser guns, rifles at their hips.  Sixteen or seventeen of them opened fire with both weapons at the same time. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/interlude-22-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 22.y]]</ref>

At some point, Masamune became familiar with [[Black Kaze]].<ref name="27.3"/>

Masamune was recruited from the ruined area of [[Japan]], sometime around September [[2012]],<ref name="I 27">'''December 5th, 2012, six months ago'''<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>“The Guild found the mass-production tinker.  All signs point to them becoming a force in their own right.  We won’t be helpless.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/interlude-27/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 27.x|27.x (Interlude, Eidolon)‏‎]]</ref> where he was a somewhat crazed hermit.<ref name="26.2">[[Sting 26.2]]</ref>

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
Masamune was recruited by the [[Guild]] and given the task of figuring out how to mass-produce their equipment without the maintenance issues snowballing out of control. He was able to create the gear utilized by the [[Dragon's Teeth]] and top-of-the-line equipment for the [[Protectorate]] and [[Wards]].<ref name="26.2">[[Sting 26.2]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
He was present alongside the rest of the Guild when they met with [[Cauldron]]. He stepped away from his teammates to approach [[Black Kaze]] and stand within the mass murderer's personal space for several tense moments. When Masamune returned to his teammates, Black Kaze followed him.<ref name="27.3">[[Extinction 27.3]]</ref>

Later, the two seemed to be travelling as a pair,<ref name="29.3">[[Venom 29.3]]</ref> although Masamune was nowhere to be seen when she engaged [[Scion]].<ref name="30.2">[[Speck 30.2]]</ref>

Was likely subsumed and used to construct the instrument that ended the Event.

=== [[Glow-worm]]===
He was instrumental in getting the internet working again.<ref>[[Glow-worm P.1]]</ref>

=== [[Ward]] ===
Masamune had moved to the Japanese territories of [[Gimel]] at some point.<ref name="II20.e5">I’ve been tasked with rounding up the tinkers and thinkers we would need to ask and organize to see if it’s possible.  The problem is that many are distant.  Masamune is in Gimel’s Japan, others are scattered around Gimel, and we don’t have secured communication or contact details for all of them. - [[Last 20.e5]]</ref>
