Personality: Skalyx is a cold and calculating person after being trained in Kirigakure to be an black-ops assassin. Skalyx is not afraid to kill anyone even in cold blood. He will do what he is asked to do without question and without hesitation. When teaching his students he will be brutally honest and not afraid to speak his mind. He is a stern teacher being very strict to his students but he only does that so they can learn values and once they do, he will go easier on them. All in all, Skalyx is seen to have no heart, the only reson he would keep his students alive because he has been told to keep his students alive.

History:
Skalyx was born in the small village of Kirigakure to a family that lived out in the country. They had a cushy life, not worrying about problems of the city, not worrying about anything and just minding their own business. They were simple farmers, living off the land. Skalyx was one of the best things that happen to his family as they were trying to have a child for years and now that they finally have one, they were as happy as can be, that and the crops started to came in greater than every year combined so his parents thought his birth was an omen.
When Skalyx was 3, he learned how to talk and walk. He began following his parents around, stumbling after a couple of steps but he was a healthy baby boy. His parents were proud of him that he was able to learn these things very quickly and how he was able to establish his independence so quickly. In no time he learned to read and write legibly a few months after he was able to walk and able to talk. In no time, he was starting to help his parents on their farm.
At age 7 Skalyx was enrolled in the ninja academy, he grasped many things but the main problem was that he kept zoning out during class, getting lost in his imagination getting lost in how he will turn out after he has finished the academy and moved on to be a full fledge ninja. He just couldn't wait to get out of school because of this, his grades dropped slightly. The worst however, was yet to come.
When Skalyx turned to be a genin and got into his squad, he was delivered grave news. His mother and father was killed in a raid by rogue ninjas just so they can get some small coin. Skalyx was devastated by this, his personality flopped. He turned from a cheerful young boy until a deeply depressed and disturbed individual. His depression then turned into anger and anger turned to hatred, to the point where he became emotionless. Skalyx excelled at the tasks given to him through his jounin
He was soon enrolled in the chuunin exams. He knew what had to be done as he didn't know the answers to his exam. With that he closed his eyes and listened to the marks of the person infront of him. Examining the length of ticks and observing the sound of them in order to copy the writing that the person infront of him was writing. When the test was over, Skalyx didn't move an inch, even when the proctor asked those who want to leave will fail the test and will have to take again next year. He just stood there unflinchingly with that, he passed the first stage and moved on to the next.
The forest of death was next. Skalyx and his team entered the forest at a random location in the forest. There he just waited in paitience, letting his team wait with him. There they set up many traps around their perimeter, waiting for a prey to walk in, thinking they were just sitting ducks. Skalyx and his team needed the heaven scroll to pass and they soon got it, when one unlucky team was caught in a kunai rope trap, shooting kunais around the targets and wrapping them securely with wire so they couldn't move. With the opposition helplessly stopped in their tracks, Skalyx's team got the scroll and headed to the tower where they were then finished with the second stage of the chuunin exams.
Now its time for the third stage but first they had to go through the preliminaries. Skalyx was up against one of his rivals that always tried to put him down whenever he can in which didn't effect Skalyx, it just annoyed him to a degree. When the battle started Skalyx didn't even move as his opponent rushed him with a kunai. When he man was in breathing room, Skalyx stepped forward, grabbed the person's wrist, took the kunai from him, and knocked him down to the floor. Skalyx was quick on his feet when fighting, he wasn't going to let some arrogant man to go on and get chuunin. So Skalyx quickly finished the fight by knocking the person out when he was on the floor. He had other opponents, but he just quickly finished the fight, just wanting the chuunins to get over with.
After the prelims, Skalyx was the only one in his squad to actually get into the actually get into the last stage of the chuunins. Skalyx just thought as them as weak and not deserving of chuunin. Skalyx was in the last match of the chuunin exam. This battle took him longer than he thought due to the person being a trap master and just as analytical as him. So he planned out his attack accordingly, being a trap setter himself, Skalyx is able to vaguely determine where the traps would be placed only to get caught in a net and to become victim to the trapmaster. Skalyx did what he did best, he thought on his feet, he let the opponent think he has won, since that was he was the most vulnerable. When the opponent turned to the audience, adoring the false victory, Skalyx pulled out his knife, cut through the net and grabbed his opponent swiftly, putting the knife tightly against his throat. With that, the opponenet finally admitted defeat and with Skalyx's skill, he was promoted to Chuunin.
Chuunin was an accomplishment to Skalyx, to actually get this far was what was on his mind ever since academy, so even though he didn't show it, he was proud of himself. With the promotion of chuunin, comes the harder missions. Skalyx was given the task to escort a VIP from kirigakure to amegakure. Skalyx accepted this mission with no hesitation. So while he was escorting his VIP, it turned out that it was a trap. The VIP lead him to an ambush. During the ambush, from what he heard from the description of the rogue nin that killed his family, he determined these were the people who slaughtered his family. This broke his emotionless face, leading him to unleash his inner hatred in which he used to slaughter the rogue nin effortlessly and then he went to VIP, skinned him alive, chopped him up, then hung his remains through the trees. Skalyx went back to the village and said that the mission was a set up. Skalyx described the rogue nin and the task giver determined that they were ranked A and B missing nin. They gave Skalyx a promotion that skips jounin and made him an black-ops assassin who was cross trained with hunter-nin training. Through this training he has learned how to control his chakra, how to track enemies, how to lie and pierce those who are lying, how to make deadly strikes and he improved his accuracy with training of needles
Skalyx's experience with his black-ops assassin promotion, really let out the darkness in Skalyx, really lead him to the blood lust that he gained through out all the years of training. Skalyx was 18 at this time and he was put on infiltration missions to steal enemy plans, sabotage enemy weapons, and even release captured allies. The more missions he went on, the better he got and the colder his expression got. Skalyx was then tasked with the assassination of a deadly ex ANBU who has infiltrated an allied town and began to create a crime syndicate, spreading fear through the city. Anyone who went after him, were either scared, or were killed. Skalyx accepted the mission, again without hesitation. Skalyx used unusual tactics, instead of going after him head on, Skalyx joined his ranks and systematically began to gut the entire orginization. When there was no one left but the ex ANBU, it was then easier on Skalyx for the crime lord didn't know Skalyx was behind all of this. So being afraid, he made Skalyx his body guard which lead to his demise. While the crime lord was sleeping, Skalyx slipped in, and slit his throat. He searched his body for anything useful and found the gauntlets that contained hidden blades in which he snatched up and left.
The last mission started Skalyx's bloodlust, the Mizukage, personally gave Skalyx assassination missions which he carried out flawlessly. Due to his new equipment, Skalyx was able to kill his prey without effort which twisted Skalyx even more, it started to bore him. He began toying with his mark, luring him into his territory, and then like a predator and prey, Skalyx started to hunt the target, stalking him like a dark shadow, his original mask was painted black along with the rest of his armor. He stalked his prey and then killed them, he killed them from the darkness which earned his name The Masked Shadow.
Soon, he got bored with the Mizukage and with the kirigakure village. Nothing ever changes and everything was repetitive to him. Skalyx was finally twisted from his experiences, finally changed, anything that was left of his heart from when he was a boy, was killed and the remains left in the darkness of his personality. He decided to leave Kirigakure without informing anyone and he managed to join Kumogakure in which he was presently staying. With that, Skalyx changed his mask, his appearance, and stayed in hiding till the heat from kirigakure wore off and now he makes his living by being a jounin in Kumogakure, teaching a genin squad. He remains a mystery to the genin, not revealing whole lot of information about what he did or anything about his past. He just says "What i did and what happened to me is on a need to know basis and you don't need to know, so hurry up and do those 100 push ups."
RP Sample:
- Spoiler:
It was in the middle of the night. It was a clear sky in which you can see all the stars in the sky. There was a new moon tonight so moonlight did not glow upon a village, leaving it almost pitch back. There were many shadowy figures that patrolled outside a building, each armed to the teeth with weaponry. One guard had a three part staff that can be changed into a bo staff, another guard had two katanas along with a hidden dagger, another guard had a kusami-giri, and the last guard who was hanging out on the roof top, had a bow and arrow. Most of the extra weapons were hidden from view, to take unsuspecting intruders, by surprise.
One lone person was perched on the wall that surrounded the village. The figured was covered in black clothing for the exception of a white, red, and purple mask that covered his face as dark green eyes peered through the eye holes. The eyes are the only thing visible when looking at the mask for anything around the eyes, was shrouded in shadow. The eyes scanned the village, identifying key points of the village before spotting the target house. The figure crouched and moved silently along the wall, desperately not making any sudden moves that might give away his position. He slowly slipped down onto a house a couple feet shorter than the wall. He landed with ut most grace but made a very subtle noise, a subtle noise that could've gotten him killed if the guards weren't just out of hearing distance.
The figure moved his head quickly, scanning the area, noting the guards on patrol, analyzing the movements. The figure kept his distance from the guards until he determined that the time was right to strike. While the first guard with the katanas was around the corner, Skalyx jumped from his current position to a position over looking the archer in which he dropped down silently, snuck up behind the guard. He put his hand over the guard's mouth and used one of his hidden blades. The movement was quick and precise. The blade plunged into the middle of the back, twisted to displace the vertebrae, and instantly killing the guard. The lifeless corpse dropped to the ground like a rag doll as the life faded from the guard's eyes. Skalyx looked at the two guards who were talking to each other by the door. His hand were like a blur as he straightened out his arm and a needle slipped into his finger. He aimed at the guard with the kasami-giri who was to the left of the entrance from where Skalyx was looking. The needle flew the distance and stabbed the guard in the jugular. Direct hit
The other guard saw this and drew his three point staff at which this point, Skalyx aimed the left blade at the guard's neck. He pressed the button on his gauntlet which sprouted the additional blades and when the guard was starting to shout, Skalyx pressed the button again and the blade bolted forward. It propelled with such force that it cut through the guard's neck and into the wall behind. The guard patrolling the perimeter heard the blade insert the wall and quickly went to investigate. He drew his katanas in caution as he saw the two guard's lifeless bodies and one that has been decapitated. The guard with the katanas examined the blade and saw the wire leading from it to Skalyx, who immediately jumped down. Skalyx made a circle in the air, swinging the wire around the guard's neck and when Skalyx landed, he grabbed the wire with his metal gauntlet and gave it a good yank. The wire closed in on the neck of the guard, slicing through it like butter as the guard was beheaded, joining his friends.
Skalyx pressed the button on the side of his gauntlet as it retracted back to it's spot and retracted the additional blades. Skalyx spread his fingers again as the blade split apart, folded back on the gauntlet, and were hidden from sight. Skalyx watched this happen when he slowly gazed up at the door. He slowly reached for it and then opened it silently. The room ahead was pitch black. It was so pitch black that not even Skalyx could see through it so he moved cautiously and slowly, taking step by step, not taking any chance as he listens for echoes in the shadows. Skalyx spotted a thin line of light at the end that was close to the floor indicating that it was up ahead and that people were in it.
Skalyx moved silently to the light, again using caution as he navigated through the darkness. When he finally reached it, he gently opened a crack of it and examined inside. There were several masked guards overwatching a gang of crime lords. They were discussing on how business was doing and how they can better their business until one noticed the small crack in the door. The crime lord motioned for one of the masked guards to go outside the door and investigate. The mask guard opened the door and looked through, only to find nothing but to hear a clinking noise in the pitch black. Skalyx was clinged to the ceiling, using his claws. The guard went to investigate as Skalyx followed up on the ceiling, carefully, trying not to make a peep. When the guard was deep in the darkness, he bent over and looked, only to find an empty sake bottle the Skalyx looted from a dead guard earlier and at that point, Skalyx dropped down, grasped the bending guard's chin and placing a hand on the back of the neck. Skalyx pushed the chin to the side and the back of the head ot the other, snapping the guard's neck. Skalyx took off his mask, revealing his dark brown hair, white skin, and dark green eyes. He quickly put it in his pocket as he placed the guard uniform over his own garb, removing anything that would stand out from the regular guard's garb and placing it in his coat.
Skalyx placed on the guard's mask and came in, shaking his head, showing that he didn't find anything. The crime lord sighed a sigh of relief as they continued to discuss business. Skalyx waited paitiently in disguise as the meeting went on and when it finally concluded, everyone was leaving including the guards, being careful not to blow his cover, he followed the crime lord out as he talked to the others for a quick sum up and they all went their seperate ways. Skalyx reached into his pocket and pulled out a file, he looked at the picture, and identified that the person he was guard, was indeed his mark. With the the confirmation, comes the assassination. Skalyx waits for his mark and him to get out of the city as he had one addtional guard. Skalyx stood on the left of his mark while the other guard stood on his right. Skalyx looked at the other guard and he needed to time this right. As they were walking Skalyx used the sword he got with the guard's uniform and stabbed the crime lord in the chest, straight through the heart while using his other hand to draw a needle and when the other guard noticed that Skalyx was an assassin, the guard immediately recieved a needle to the eye, going through the eye hole of the mask
The guard screamed in pain as Skalyx drew the sword from the crime lord, raised it above his head and once the guard's adrenaline finally numbed the pain, all he could see was Skalyx slamming a sword down on his head. The sword embedded itself a good couple inches into the skull, killing him instantly. Skalyx examined the two dead bodies and looted them for cash, making it look like a disgruntled guard killed them both.
Skalyx quickly sprinted into the woods and he jumped on a tree branch, then leaped from branch to branch, traveling the tree tops after a successful mission and once he thought he was deep enough in the forest, he found a clearing and took off the bloody guard disguise and burried it under the ground. He finally replaced the guard's mask with his own. His eyes looked up to the night sky and gazed upon it for a couple seconds before slowly walking away from the disposed disguise, returning to Kirigakure to report a mission well done and to finally get his pay.
