The Mimic


[You'll never know who you're actually speaking with.]

General Information Age: 14
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 190lbs
Physical Features:

Mimic's physical appearance is meticulously curated to embody the very essence of averageness. His body is a masterclass in blending into the crowd, an intentional symphony of mediocrity that paradoxically makes him stand out as perfectly unremarkable. He maintains a careful balance of body fat, strategically distributed to lend a subtle roundness to his features. His physique strikes that elusive equilibrium between lean and robust, leaving no distinct contours or pronounced angles. His skin, almost ethereally unblemished, testifies to his diligent efforts to prevent even the faintest trace of a scar from marring his otherwise commonplace visage.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Mimic's appearance is his absolute, almost otherworldly averageness. His face is a quintessential example of the kind that seamlessly dissolves into the mosaic of any crowd, defying the very notion of being remembered. His features are a harmonious blend of the familiar, an archetype of humanity that remains eternally unbothered by the curious gaze of onlookers. Mimic's eyes, while expressive, harbor no peculiar depth or striking coloration. His nose, unobtrusive and unassuming, rests comfortably in the middle of his face. His lips, unadorned by any distinguishing marks, convey the most muted of expressions. And his hair, in its neutral shade, conforms to a style that is as unobtrusive as it is unexceptional.

Clothing/Accessories:

Mimic possesses a chameleon-like approach to attire, seamlessly adapting his clothing to suit the demands of any situation. While his wardrobe is versatile, one consistent trait is his penchant for clothing that tends to be slightly oversized, a subtle choice that further contributes to his artful camouflage. In casual settings, you might find Mimic donning baggy jeans that pool slightly at his ankles, accompanied by plain, loose-fitting t-shirts that create an impression of comfortable indifference. His tabi boots, comfortably well-worn, provide the final touch to this relaxed ensemble, as if he just threw on the first things he found in his closet.

For more formal occasions, Mimic effortlessly transitions into larger suits that conceal any hint of muscularity, embodying an understated elegance that avoids drawing undue attention. His jackets drape comfortably over his shoulders, their tails extending modestly, while his trousers, bearing just a hint of excess fabric, create a tasteful silhouette that never overshadows the occasion. In colder weather, Mimic's preference for bulkier outerwear shines through. He might choose an oversized, woolen coat that envelops him in warmth, its length extending well beyond his knees. Scarves and gloves are selected for their cozy comfort rather than any desire for fashion statements, allowing him to blend into the winter crowd seamlessly.

When the need arises for athletic wear, Mimic opts for roomy tracksuits, their relaxed fit enabling unencumbered movement. These outfits convey an image of someone who is in no rush, casually strolling through life with a touch of sporty nonchalance. For special events, his footwear might transform into more formal, albeit still roomy, leather shoes. Yet, even in these situations, Mimic's unerring choice of slightly oversized garments maintains his signature inconspicuousness, allowing him to be present without overshadowing the event. Mimic's clothing choices are a reflection of his commitment to blending in, an unspoken testament to his dedication to remaining unnoticed. His ability to seamlessly adapt his attire to diverse situations while retaining his understated charm is a testament to his mastery of the art of invisibility through clothing.

Personality:

Mimic's entire being is a masterwork of adaptability, his personality a carefully honed instrument designed to harmonize with the symphony of those around him. However, beneath this chameleon-like exterior lies a distinct and complex personality, forged through a life of training as an assassin. Years of relentless preparation have bestowed upon Mimic a demeanor that is at once cold and calculated, yet not entirely devoid of humanity. His emotional detachment stems not from mercilessness, but rather from a deep-seated willingness to undertake any action necessary to fulfill the tasks assigned to him. His commitment to these objectives is unwavering, driving him to explore every conceivable scenario with methodical precision. In the theater of everyday life, Mimic deftly conceals this inner world beneath a mask of happiness and carefree joy. His default presentation is that of a person who delights in the simple pleasures of existence, exuding warmth and conviviality. It's a guise so convincing that one might never suspect the depths of contemplation hidden beneath the surface.

However, Mimic's true brilliance emerges when the situation demands a different emotional facade. He possesses the uncanny ability to instantly adapt his demeanor to align with the needs of the moment. Whether it's feigning anger, sadness, or determination, Mimic's emotional range is as vast and flexible as his ever-changing surroundings. This adaptability ensures that he remains an enigmatic and unpredictable presence to those who might seek to read him. Though cloaked in layers of intrigue, Mimic's core personality retains elements of his true self—elements molded by a life of discipline, danger, and dedication. His interactions may be calculated, but they are not without a touch of authenticity. There is an undeniable complexity to Mimic, an intricate interplay of his trained stoicism and the genuine emotions that occasionally peek through the cracks in his meticulously crafted facade.

Abilities
The Mimic

Mimic possesses a remarkable ability that grants him the power to manipulate specific aspects of his physical appearance at will. With a mere thought, he can seamlessly alter his skin color, eye color, and even the length and hue of his hair, as effortlessly as a painter selecting pigments from a palette. This extraordinary gift allows him to become a true master of disguise, adapting his outward appearance to suit any circumstance or role he chooses to assume. His chameleon-like control over these features renders him virtually unrecognizable, capable of seamlessly blending into different environments, assuming various identities, and slipping through the most discerning of observers' nets. It's a talent that adds an additional layer of intrigue to Mimic's already enigmatic presence, ensuring that his true identity remains a closely guarded secret within the intricate tapestry of his many personas. This ability is governed by Mimic's [Endurance] stat. Anything other than natural skin tones, hair colors, and eye colors only last [Endurance]/2 posts.
Hidden Blades


Mimic's unique physical augmentation transcends the boundaries of conventional human capabilities. His transformation begins with a groundbreaking surgery that enhances the very core of his strength. His arms have been fortified with a rare and chakra-reactive metal, elevating their structural integrity to superhuman levels. But this is merely the beginning.

Within his augmented forearms, a hidden arsenal awaits—a pair of dual-edged blades, each one being 7 inches in length, and an inch and a half wide. These blades, composed of the same chakra-reactive metal that reinforces his bones, possess an innate lethality. With their razor-sharp edges and a piercing triangular point designed for lethal precision, they are formidable weapons in their own right.

Mimic's control over this extraordinary augmentation is a testament to his mastery of his own body. By flexing his forearms with a calculated thought, he activates a meticulously crafted mechanism. This mechanism propels the blades outward through a specially designed slit in his palms, creating a fearsome extension of his limbs that is ready for combat or self-defense. The blades remain poised, only retracting into their concealed chambers when Mimic relaxes his forearm muscles. The blades extend and retract at a speed equal to his [Strength]. The blades extend 6 inches out of his palms.
Third Ability
Concentrations
Ninjutsu
Fuuton Affinity:
Fuuton Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Fuuton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Fuuton affinity. Fuuton has an cutting effect.
Passive (Cutting)Show
Fuuton has a natural cutting property to it, that exists in all jutsu unless otherwise stated. This gives fuuton a unique opportunity to strike with additional power, and to act as a offensive defense. Regardless of their purpose fuuton jutsu passively cut with no distinct pattern at 1/2 the strength of the technique rounded down unless otherwise stated. This means if someone punched a 20 strength fuuton wall, they would get cuts on their hand applied with 10 strength. This also means that fuuton jutsu specifically designated to cut things can create devastating wound by essentially striking twice.
Katon:
Katon Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Katon, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Katon affinity. Katon has a passive ignition effect.
Passive (Ignition)Show
Katon's effect is ignition, which means that all katon jutsu, regardless of effect, start and spread fire from their source. Once a jutsu has been performed, the fire from the jutsu spreads at 1/3rd the speed of the technique, rounded down. That means a C-rank katon jutsu that moves at 13 speed would create subsequent fires that spread at 4 speed. These secondary fires require flammable material to continuously spread, otherwise they will burn out on their own.

Additionally, the strength of burns on organic material from katon jutsu is determined by the strength stat of the individual jutsu.

History
Historical AccountsShow

Mimic's journey through life was a path fraught with hardship right from the very beginning. His entrance into the world was marked by the condition of Albinism, a genetic rarity that set him apart from others from his first breath. However, his struggle was not limited to the genetic lottery; he faced the harsh reality of being rejected even by his own mother, a heart-wrenching abandonment that was to shape his future.

Thrown into the unforgiving streets of Rune Country by the very family that should have protected him, this nameless, defenseless child was fatefully discovered by an elderly man. It was a chance encounter that would alter the course of both their lives. What initially caught the old man's attention was the remarkable phenomenon unfolding before his eyes—the child's skin, a canvas of uniqueness, shifted and changed in hues, mirroring the colors that danced within the boy's perception. The old man, wise and discerning, sensed the extraordinary potential within this enigmatic child. With unwavering determination, he decided to take the boy under his wing, rescuing him from the squalor of the streets and bringing him into the sanctuary of Konohagakure. Here, Mimic's extraordinary abilities found a nurturing environment. From the moment Mimic could take his first tentative steps, he was subjected to rigorous training in the clandestine arts of stealth and subterfuge. His education began so early that it wasn't until he reached the age of seven that he was introduced to the world of literacy. From that point forward, the boy's mind became a sponge, absorbing the intricacies of politics, etiquette, and the subtle nuances of high society.

Mimic's education extended far beyond the confines of books and lessons; he was meticulously groomed to blend seamlessly into any situation, becoming the embodiment of adaptability. It was during this transformative journey that he was christened with the name "Mimic," a title that encapsulated his extraordinary talent for mirroring the world around him. Despite the trials and tribulations of his early life, Mimic's story was not one of victimhood but of resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of mastery. He was forged in the crucible of adversity, honing his skills to become a shadowy enigma, a living testament to the extraordinary potential that can emerge from the most challenging of circumstances. Unlike other children who grew up to be shinobi in Konohagakure, the boy known only as The Mimic, was not sent to the ninja academy to learn Ninjutsu. Instead, the mentors of the clandestine training operation he was raised in taught him the basics of Ninjutsu, and allowed him to experience Genjutsu firsthand. When it was discovered that he had a natural proclivity to the Ash style, a special mentor was brought in that taught him three of the most basic techniques from the style. Once the enigmatic elderly man, whose identity remained shrouded in secrecy, deemed Mimic sufficiently prepared, a pivotal moment arrived in the young protege's life—a moment that would indelibly alter his existence. The elderly mentor, whose wisdom was surpassed only by the depths of his knowledge, orchestrated an operation that would forever redefine Mimic's capabilities.

With meticulous precision and a deep understanding of both the human body and the arcane arts, the elderly man initiated a transformative surgical procedure. In this extraordinary operation, Mimic's very bones were bolstered with an exceptionally rare and chakra-reactive metal, an infusion of strength that turned his limbs into veritable instruments of precision and force. However, the most awe-inspiring aspect of this procedure lay hidden within Mimic's forearms. Inside a specially designed "sheath" of the same chakra-reactive metal, concealed beneath his skin and muscle, resided a pair of dual-edged blades. These razor-sharp instruments, crafted with unparalleled craftsmanship, extended the entire length of his lower arms. Their piercing triangular points were designed for lethal precision, a testament to the meticulous planning that had gone into their creation.

But the true genius of this operation lay in the seamless integration of these deadly weapons into Mimic's physiology. Ingeniously, the blades were designed to remain concealed until they were needed most. At the old man's bidding, Mimic could effortlessly activate a thought-triggered mechanism, causing the blades to emerge from their sheaths through a meticulously crafted opening in the palms of his hands. This transformation was not only a symbol of Mimic's unwavering dedication but also a testament to the profound trust he placed in his enigmatic mentor. This extraordinary augmentation marked a turning point in Mimic's journey. It was not merely an enhancement of his physical abilities but an embodiment of the synergy between human potential and meticulous craftsmanship. It became a symbol of Mimic's commitment to his craft, his willingness to embrace every facet of his extraordinary existence, and his unwavering loyalty to the mentor who had shaped him into the enigmatic and formidable individual he had become.

As Mimic emerged from the shadowy realm of post-surgery recovery, his mentor wasted no time in propelling him into the perilous world of covert operations. His inaugural mission was no ordinary task, for it bore the weight of consequence and intrigue that would come to define his existence. Mimic was entrusted with a mission of utmost secrecy—to assassinate a member of the enigmatic and formidable organization known as Setsuzoku. The target was no ordinary mark; she was a young prodigy, teeming with untapped potential that had the potential to blossom into terrifying power. But the intricacies of this assignment were such that even Mimic, with his unparalleled skills, could not have foreseen the turbulent turn of events that awaited him.

As he drew closer to his quarry, it became evident that the girl was not merely well-guarded; she possessed a baffling protective aura, rendering her impervious to harm. It was a baffling twist of fate that shattered Mimic's carefully laid plans, unleashing a cascade of unforeseen consequences. Worse yet, the failed assassination attempt had alerted the entire organization to his presence, setting in motion a relentless pursuit. In his desperate flight, Mimic demonstrated the full extent of his training and abilities, evading his pursuers with a finesse that would have made his mentor proud.

However, the hunter soon became the hunted when an unforeseen adversary of overwhelming power emerged from the shadows. This formidable figure did not merely subdue Mimic; he savagely beat him into a state of near incapacitation before securely binding him. With chilling precision, the enigmatic captor revealed the intricacies of a meticulously orchestrated trap, designed to lure their enemies into the open. It was a revelation that left Mimic stunned, trapped in a web of intrigue spun far beyond his comprehension. As Mimic languished in captivity, his tormentors delved deep into the recesses of his mind, extracting vital information with ruthless efficiency. What they discovered was a stark truth—Mimic was naught but a tool, forged and molded by the very man they had just executed for his transgressions.

Yet, a surprising twist awaited him. Recognizing the undeniable prowess that Mimic possessed, the organization's leadership extended an unexpected offer—a chance at redemption. His life was spared not out of mercy but admiration for his talents. The remnants of his mentor's legacy were embraced, and Mimic found himself reluctantly accepting a place within Setsuzoku's shadowy ranks. Now, his existence is defined by a relentless journey across various lands, his missions dictated by the enigmatic organization's inscrutable goals. As an assassin in training, Mimic skillfully gathers intelligence and carries out the grim work required by Setsuzoku, all while grappling with the shadowy legacy of his past and the weight of a future defined by intrigue, danger, and an unbreakable bond to the organization that has become his reluctant home.
