PersonalityShowSenji is a pensive individual whom spends a lot of time in his own thoughts. While this lends itself to a considerate exterior, it causes him to spin thoughts around in his head endlessly which sometimes leads to paranoia and anxiety. As a result of this, Senji tends to overthink things and is meticulous in most actions so as to ‘not do anything wrong’.
While Senji enjoys his own company, that is not to say that he is antisocial. He enjoys the time spent with friends, colleagues, and students even if he needs to take a break from them to recharge occasionally. His high level of empathy and averse attitude toward making a ‘wrong move’ causes him to be quite reactive in conversation, and adept at responding to complex emotions from others. This ability to empathise with people and read their emotional state has been of great assistance in his training in the darker arts of the shinobi, such as manipulation and infiltration.
As a result of his personal experience, the magician has developed a burgeoning hatred of spirits, and is very negative towards those who risk tampering with them. No longer haunted by the horrors he committed in the past, Senji refuses to shirk from dirty, underhanded or dark work any longer.
Physical FeaturesShowSenji reaches an average height, while maintaining a thin and lithe physique. His soft pale skin hints at hours spent indoors, where it is not marred by the scars of his harsh training. His dark hair has regrown its full-bodied colour from its time it spent greyed from stress.
Senji is young, and appears so, with smooth and soft skin over the majority of his body. He appears to have rather average features apart from his extremely pale complexion, even his lips seem to be a slightly dull, washed out pink instead of the vibrant colour typical of others his age. His time spent training has left him with little excess fat, causing him to appear somewhat thin.
Senji has a number of Fuuinjutsu inscribed upon his body. His back and upper shoulders contain the seal for the Constellation of the Magus, while his lower back has a Stellar Node inscribed upon it. The front of his chest has a seal for the Constellation of the Virgin also.
Chapter 1 - the CalmShow Senji was raised by a loving couple of Chuunin shinobi. The start of his life was not grand in the sense that his family was nobility, or rich, but he lead a full childhood with all the whimsies and hard lessons that entails. He did not want for the necessities, did not struggle for a roof over his head or food on the table. He was not the most popular child in the neighbourhood, but neither was he shunned. He was perfectly average. Senji was encouraged from a young age to become a shinobi. When both parents are shinobi themselves, there is a slight expectation that the child will grow up to be just like them. While Senji was in awe of the stories his father would tell before bedtime of heroic adventures and perilous escapes, even as a child he had never really understood the need to fight. If ninja had all these cool powers, couldn’t they just stop people from becoming bad guys in the first place? Senji, despite his hesitation, agreed to enroll in the academy. While he wasn’t sure how well he’d do as a warrior, he had always been in awe of the stories of ninja launching crashing waves of water or healing wounds so well it was as if they’d never happened. What interested him wasn’t so much the work, but the abilities of shinobi. The academy was difficult for him, as he always lost in sparring matches, and clearly lacked any talent for the physical arts of the ninja. While his mind was sharp and he often scored among the top students for examinations, his practical ability was clearly below average. While his achievement in the theory subjects caused his peers to sneer him as a know-it-all, by the same token his short stature and frail frame made him an easy target in hand to hand combat practice. While the bullying was swiftly dealt with by the instructors, it had prevented Senji from making fast friends within his academy days. It was in this time that Senji truly came to resent the more militaristic aspects of shinobi life. The culture of accumulating strength and admiration of the powerful seemed strange to him. Why did they venerate those whose talent was only to kill and destroy, when it was the quickness of wit that would foster growth and prosperity? Only through innovation, invention, and harmony could they build a way to prevent the cycle of murder and hatred. This was when he decided that he would throw away the title of ninja, wherever possible, and instead become a different kind of manipulator of chakra. He would call himself a magician, like in the old stories, and would dedicate himself to forging real magic from ninjutsu. Chapter 2 - the StormShow
It was only a year after he had become a Genin that the village was attacked by the spirit Raijin. The monster, with blue skin and lightning blazing in its eyes, laid low the strongest shinobi of the village, slaying the Raikage. With the Shining Star Akino dead, the village had lost its beacon of hope. It was in the wake of this tragedy that Senji met his best childhood friend, Tsukishima Tadashi. The two worked together to clean up the devastation left behind by the spirit. In the course of their duties removing rubble and assisting in construction, they made an oath to each other. Senji swore that he would become the village’s greatest defender and always shield it from harm. Tadashi swore that he would become the village’s greatest warrior, and strike fear into its enemies’ hearts. While Senji wasn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of a great warrior, he was glad to share an even closer bond with his friend. The civil war struck soon after. A second cataclysmic event for his home, Senji was afraid of what would become of Kumogakure should they lose. So, he resolved within himself to do his duty and use his magic as a weapon, even if it pained him to do so. He fought on the front lines of the war in a few skirmishes, but it was during this time that he received his first solo C-rank mission. His Chuunin exam. This mission would haunt Senji for the rest of his life. Senji entered a small hamlet, captured by rebel forces. It had been his mission simply to scout the area, determine numbers and supplies, and perhaps perform a little sabotage if the opportunity arose. When he arrived, he saw the people slaughtered in the streets. Saw the mangled corpses piled in a mound in the town square, around three crucifixes. Hanging amidst the carnage were three shinobi corpses, the former defenders of the hamlet. He watched as a crow pecked persistently at the face of his dead friend, Tsukishima Tadashi. Something inside Senji slipped, and broke. When he awoke the next morning, he found himself amidst a new pile of corpses on the edge of town. He did not move, and merely wept until he fell back asleep. For his exemplary execution of his mission, going so far as to retake the position single handedly, he was awarded the rank of Chuunin. For his further efforts in the war pursuant to this, he was awarded the rank of Special Jounin at the end of the conflict. Chapter 3 - Hope and Loss, AgainShow Upon his return to the village after the war, Senji spent some time convalescing. He was now haunted by his own actions, and abhorred by how he had done the things that he had always seen as unnecessary, illogical, and repulsive. Now, at only seventeen, Senji had tasted war. The worst part was, every time he fought, he felt some primal feeling inside of him. A desire to win, a lust to conquer, a drive to dominate. In retrospect it made him sick, and quite a few times he became so physically. As a result, Senji had resolved to reconsider his career as a shinobi, and retire. After some time ruminating on his past, Senji, finally ready to face the world again, reemerged into society. He met another shinobi, Nukegara Sou, and they soon became friends. Sou’s easy way of speaking and his confident air made Senji feel comfortable around him, like nothing could go wrong. For a time he could forget about his actions. He began to feel like he could channel chakra safely and not feel those disgusting urges inside of him, if only when Sou was around. Of course, things did eventually go wrong. Sou soon became the jinchuuriki for the Hell Genma, Konegu. Intrigued by the changes happening to his friend, Senji wanted to inspect the spikes that now stood out from Sou’s arms. As soon as he touched the boy, he felt that now familiar slipping sensation in his mind. With a spark of the Genma’s red chakra, Senji descended into a bestial rage. The urge to fight, to subjugate, to overcome that often plagued him in combat was now a searing need. He lashed out, and began to rampage. Sou’s StratOs handlers, always watching from hidden places, swiftly intervened. Senji was subdued and spirited away. He would never see his new, and only, friend again. Chapter 4 - DarknessShow Senji was brought before Tada Banri, the leader of Kumogakure’s mysterious black operations unit StratOs. He was tortured and interrogated, for how long he does not know. Soon, Banri determined that the boy genuinely did not know why he had begun to ferociously and mercilessly attack a precious jinchuuriki. But he knew that was not the end of the matter. After a short investigation of a different manner, Banri realized that Senji had a strange physiology, and quickly pieced together what had happened. Senji had been the child of a previous jinchuuriki of the Hell Genma. His biological mother had lost control of the beast during childbirth, and as a result went on a rampage of her own and was put down. His father was killed in the battle, and Senji had been orphaned. He had been raised instead by his mother’s best friend and her husband. Banri determined that while Senji had been in the womb, the hell genma’s unique, poisonous chakra had infected him. In an attempt to create a surrogate body, Konegu had tried to literally be born as a human to escape his captivity. Evidently, the attempt had failed, but Banri had hope that the changes that had occurred in Senji’s body could be utilized to create a shinobi capable of fighting on par with other jinchuuriki. Senji did not know how long he had been imprisoned underground, tortured, and tested. He did not know how long they experimented with his chakra system, or strained his stamina to the limit. When Banri finally determined that he was ready to be let back out into the world as a shinobi under his thumb, Senji was told he was twenty one years old. He had lost four years of his life, going from unconscious and bleeding on a table to force-fed knowledge and beaten down in a sparring ring. He knew his power had grown, and could feel the strength that filled him now. But he would never get that time back. He would never get Sou back. Banri had spent four years forging Senji into a weapon, the one thing he had always feared becoming. The magician would never forgive the man for that. Now armed with the skills beaten into him by Banri and his subordinates, Senji is aware now more than ever of his position as a weapon. But he is desperate to break free of his bonds, and once again pursue knowledge and peace as a mage, not a ninja. So Senji rails against the invisible bonds that bind him to the Black Shinobi, and he seeks an end to the tyranny of spirits which have plagued his life since its very beginning, and cursed him to this fate as a weapon. |
