Kouhaku Tetsubun

Name: Kouhaku Tetubun
Nickname/Alias:
Gargoyle (he hates this one but still would rather use it than his own name)
Kuromeru (meaning black)

Age: 16
Age Appearance: 15 in terms of height, 19 in his face due to stress aging

Appearance:
Kouhaku is a young boy who has an aged face but is short for his age, making people assume him to be a wide range of ages. His body is built for fast, hard striking combat, he has lean, strong muscles, and his legs are more dense than most people’s, as he has to compensate for his arms being unusable. His skin is a light tan, his hair is a deep black, and his eyes are an odd mix of green, light brown, hazel, and bright gold.

His clothing is odd, it’s all deep black, same color as his hair. He wears a cross between a straight jacket and a long coat; The top part is just like a straight jacket except that all the buckles are in the front, the sleeves are open on the end, and there is a collar that has buckles on it that is tight to his neck and goes right up to beneath his chin. The lower half of it goes down to his ankles, and hangs loosely. Throughout the lining of it there are little pockets as if it could be modified to carry small armor plates throughout it. Beneath this is a special, skin-tight, black shirt that has a zipper running off-centered on the front, and one zipper running up each arm; and lastly he wears a pair of fitted latex gloves that zip down the side then buckle. The pants are very basic black jounin style pants, and he wears special, armored, black tabi boots.

Under the clothes is Kouhaku’s greatest secret, the arms he keeps hidden, and the seals that cover his body. His arms, having both been severed off were replaced with his clan’s signature stone and sand prosthetics, but as they are held together with chakra and moved with chakra they take a significantly complex seal system that goes from the tips the fingers of the prosthetics all the way to Kouhaku’s waist, some to bind it together and to the body, and some to draw the necessary chakra to hold them together, and yet others binding his very life to that of a beast.

Personality: Kouhaku is a introverted loner, all too often he’ll withdraw from people that are his friends and basically abandon them simply because he can’t think around other, and that for him is bad. Kouhaku’s fighting style is as much a show of how he thinks as anything else, when he fights he’ll separate himself and attack when people pull back or when no one else is attacking, he says it’s because he is afraid of hitting his teammates and that is part of it, but it’s more that he’s worried they would just get in his way.

When he’s actually angered he’s like a tempest, he would gladly slit someone’s throat when he’s angry just to shut them up, but deep down beyond his anger and his depressive mood he’s actually a very nice guy, and could never even harm an ally without very good cause, and still he would feel horrible for it. This strong moral core is actually a challenge for him in and of itself, he’ll do anything to protect those around him but he has an extreme fear of death that causes internal battles in him between jumping into danger and running away from it at every moment.

Due to all this mixed with his introversion he often hides his feeling and thoughts from all around his putting on an aura of not caring and he rarely smiles.

Goals: To protect purity, even if that means succumbing to corruption himself.

History:

The Birth of a Prophecy
Kouhaku’s story starts before he was born, in the deserts of the sand country where he was in fact conceived. His parents, like most all the other members of his clan were wanderers, traveling in search of jobs they to do in trade for supplies for the clan. After the couple knew that they was a child on the way they began to head back to the home of the clan. Well they were traveling back, however, they were attacked, and being in the desert, surrounded by sand they would have been at the advantage, only there were six attackers and one of them that should be fighting. After fighting for a while the man told his wife to leave, take the supply cart and run, and that he’d try to hold them off, she knew there was no other option and she did. She managed to get away and make it back to the clan’s home, where they took care of her until the birth of the child, only when she actually gave birth it was twins, and she died in the process of giving birth putting them both under the care of the entire clan.

A Raising of Rags
Kouhaku and his brother were both taken care of in such a way that they’d survive, but no one really ‘wanted’ to take care of them, so once they were old enough they went through their joining ritual where they each lost their left arm, and had it replaced with a sand and stone prosthetic. After a few more years they lived on their own and were supplied a small amount of food daily. This was all the attention they were given by the rest of their clan, and they stayed together at all times and took care of each other as such. They often would go on exploration through the enormous underground temple their clan guarded so intently. The clan itself claimed that the chamber they did their joining ritual in was the center of the temple but the boys knew that in fact it was only the front and top of the temple as they had explored deeper and farther than other members of their clan wanted to and as the clan allowed none but members entry there were none that had gone as far as them, well all but the founders. They found many catacombs that were previously un-documented, but one day they entered a room that WAS in fact in the center of the temple, and it was the first room they had trouble getting to, as many pathways on their way to it had collapsed. As they entered the massive room and were amazed at the look of it: They found themselves in a huge sand filled pit, the walls around it were covered in an intricate design, a design that was reminiscent of a seal that went down below the level of the sand. As they entered the room and stepped onto the sand there was a cracking sound and suddenly the hallway that they entered from collapsed, sealing them in, Kouhaku suddenly ran over and started to try to dig their way back out but his brother was more interested in the designs on the wall when suddenly the collapsed rubble from the hallway gave again and buried Kouhaku’s right side, breaking and slowly crushing his right arm, he screamed in pain and the scream shocked his brother and as he jumped he cut his finger in the wall. This slowly began activating the complex seal; this he didn’t notice, however, and ran to his brother’s side, clearing off rubble and pulling him out as quickly as he could. Then suddenly the sand sunk in, almost as if a large amount was sucked out from below, this knocked Kouhaku’s brother over and he fell on his back before the sand exploded up in the center of the chamber and then reformed into a stone and sand human shape, weak but formed, it was in fact the one clan legends referred to as the sand wraith; the founder and first member of the clan. This meeting was an interesting one and in its process Kouhaku’s brother lost his life, the fabled sand wraith disappeared forever, and Kouhaku lost his arm but gained a new prosthetic, a summoning contract and a very complex seal. (See RP sample for the events of this meeting.) As he stumbled out of the temple with two immobile arms of sand and stone many clan members ran over to see what happened and find out how a child’s limited chakra could handle two prosthetics. Soon after the incident a visitor from Kumo took interest in the boy, seeing potential he paid to have the boy properly trained in both the fighting methods of the boys own clan and then as a shinobi of Kumo. He took on quick, quickly learning the dance-like fighting style of his clan, and altering it to match to his lack of control of his arms and also his heavier torso, due to the prosthetic arms.

A Change to Riches
After the training from his clan the man that took interest in him had him transferred to Kumo, to train as a member of Kumo there and live with him. Here he was pampered, every want was taken care of and he devoted his time to learning as the man that was taking care of him wanted. Soon he took the tests to officially become a shinobi and passed with flying colors, he was now a Genin and as such would join the rest of the Kumo force, and finally his life would mean something, but at the same time this was a place he wasn’t used to and he somewhat resented being here and as such didn’t make any good friends and would rarely even talk to his fellow Genin.
