Nara, Shikatsu
"Fear is primal. Raw. Blood pressure increases. Veins in your skin contract. Your immune system shuts down. Even if you attempt to steel against fear, ... it is undeniable. Fear makes us human."
General Information Age: 26
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 150lbs
Physical Features:
- Face/head: Ever present laugh lines coat Shikatsu's face along with an almost ever present smile. With a gentle set of green eyes that are somewhat narrow due to his heritage, his formerly black hair now dyed a dark shade of red that hangs just below his ears, Shikatsu portrays a person his is friendly, welcoming and generally a kind person. His more angular jaw gives him a more feminine look which can be taken for making him feel somewhat otherworldly or creepy in the right lighting.
- Body: Shikatsu has a light tan that covers the entirety of his somewhat lithe figure that he keeps in fairly good shape. With somewhat gangly limbs and more narrow form, Shikatsu can easily be lost within a crowd if it weren't for his height. However, with his height and his generally lax body language, Shikatsu appears as non-threatening and friendly, even appearing as something of an older sibling type.
- Notable Features: Shikatsu's most notable feature is the way that he laughs and speaks with an underlayer of sinisterness to it, which he does his best to hide from most people.
On his person at all times, he keeps a total of six pouches across his belt, ranging in size to accommodate what he needs.
PictureShow
- General: Shikatsu is an outwardly friendly, open and polite individual. A smile and a laugh come easily and he is seen as helpful in most situations. However, this is just a cover for Shikatsu's actually personality. He is manipulative, conniving, cruel, and without a doubt, full of himself. He sees himself as the ultimate arbiter for the people he encounters and he relishes in torturing and harming people for his own gain.
- Hopes/Dreams: To one day cause a whole country to fear him
- Fears: Even for someone who relishes in fear, Shikatsu has a few. Fear of Konoha capturing him, fear of his plans not working, and a fear of the sea.
- Combat Mentality: Preferring to use Genjutsu to cripple his opponents so that he can simply stab them and be done with it, Shikatsu also has some knowledge of the shadow jutsu of his clan and of the Ash style that Konoha had, allowing him to make use of some medium range offensive and defensive ninjutsu.

Severing TalonShow
On the surface, this Kusarigama appears simple enough. 30cm of blade length with roughly 3.6m of chain length, a 36cm handle and a metal weight at the end of the chain, but when brought to finer details, it begins to reveal some of its true nature. Each link on the chain appears to have a talon like design to it, giving it its namesake. Along with this, the metal weight appears to have what seems like small ports inside of it, which as it flies through the air produces a whistling sort of noise.
Upon channeling chakra through it though, this will activate its special properties. Each strike with this weapon, be it from the blade or the weight, will cause cuts as if it had the Fuuton impassive imbued within it. These cuts will only be 20 strength, but will allowing for this weapon to be far more deadly no matter what end is being used.

The maze is made of cold concrete, spans 30 feet into the air at the most open areas, and has barely enough light to see 10 feet in any direction. Each post in this maze feels like 48 hours, during which the target will try in vain to find their way out of the massive labyrinth. To add to the mental stress of this jutsu, Shikatsu will be within the Labyrinth as well, and the target will view him as whatever they fear the most. Shikatsu can disappear and reappear anywhere within the labyrinth and he is able to make multiple of himself appear, and will terrify and attack the enemy at every turn. On top of this, Shikatsu can make any sound he desires manifest within the maze, making it sound distant or near. By the final post of this overlay, the target will be on the verge of insanity, unable to comprehend the horror that surrounds them and the inability to escape their labyrinth prison. This Overlay lasts for 5 posts.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Academy/Genin YearsShow
Shikatsu had what could be considered a normal upbringing, by Konoha standards. He was taught from the moment he could form thoughts on how to be a proper shinobi, his mind being molded over time until he would be old enough to enter the academy. There, he excelled in the art of Genjutsu, leaving several of his peers behind due to his raw talent with it. While he would make some friends and some rivals, he never really felt that the activities of the academy were a particular challenge for him and he'd find himself graduating the academy with ease, even if he wasn't particularly as skilled in Taijutsu or Ninjutsu. However, something during his graduation didn't stick with him. The "Will of Fire" always felt... off. Even if he spoke it with purpose, his mind was unsure of these words.
As a Genin, Shikatsu was often reported as being lazy, but ruthless when it came to his efficiency and his intellect. He would often not settle for a perfect plan, finding that it would often work out just fine if he were able to plan things accordingly. The life of a Genin, even with his teammates, was tense for him. He'd find himself arguing and quarreling with his fellow teammates quite often, but these would be resolved by the end as he was proven to have been right and was cooperative often enough to warrant not being reviewed too much. His years as a Genin were short though, as he'd find himself and his teammates moving up to Chuunin fairly quickly with the sheer amount of training and mission output they would do. Even if their Chuunin exam had been challenging, in the end, it seemed that Shikatsu was able to garner enough favour from the judges to pass on.

Chuunin/Special Jounin YearsShow
During his Chuunin years, Shikatsu preferred solo work. While he had some success with teams, he felt that his talents were best used for his own purpose. During this time as well, Shikatsu sought out the ANBU organization and would find joining to be just the thing that would propel a rapid growth within him. Now, a member of the ANBU under the code name Talon, Shikatsu excelled at interrogation, his friendly demeanor lending way to a sort of... sadistic side that his Genjutsu brought forth onto the people he interrogated. While he would often seem as if he was slipping away from being a proper shinobi, he never seemed to forget where he was and what he was doing, retaining himself in the end even if he would be far from who he normally was. He would come to meet someone within the ANBU, a woman by the name of Hurana, Takuto. Someone who, over the years, he would grown fond of.
Hurana, Takuto would soon become Shikatsu's driving force, his motivation. He found himself over the moon for her in a lot of ways. Normally, being a solo shinobi, he found himself eager to team up with her and to work alongside her, something that was a new development for the young, aspiring Chuunin. For several years, his focus would lie less within his work and more within his passion for this woman. Each and every moment spent alongside her felt truly wonderful to him. As he was nearing Special Jounin, he'd finally ask her if they were going to be more than just teammates. The response he got what not what he expected to get and he felt the world around him crumble away, his mind taking the heaviest toll of them all as it would eventually lead to him snapping for good.
As a Special Jounin, Shikatsu continued to find out how to better suit his Genjutsu for interrogation and finding ways to make his Genjutsu all the more painful on one's mind. However, he'd find there was a certain... joy in this that he was getting now. He'd find that the Genjutsu that invoked fear often got the best results and it was during these moments that Shikatsu would seem something primal. The way people reacted to fear... and the way that he found delight in causing it. During this time as well, Shikatsu had started to train a team of Genin under his wing, enjoying the nurture of minds. However... during these years, something snapped. Something broke inside of him... all thanks to the woman who he had been fond of. Spurned affections would turn Shikatsu's mind to far darker thoughts. One night... he simply lost control. While training his Genin team, a well-coordinated attack caught him by surprise and without thinking on it, he accidentally placed one of the Genin under a strong Genjutsu... and would find that when they had come to, they seemed nothing like themselves. Every sound made them jump, every single movement made them twitch... and Shikatsu found a true ecstasy in this that he had not felt before.

Jounin Years (Current Years)Show
His Jounin years are some of Shikatsu's fondest memories. After his incident with his former team, which he had reported as an accident among themselves, he'd continue to teach prospective Genin... and torture them. Finding just what made them tick, what made them jump, what made them scream and he felt a true delight in this. For months, he'd do this, over and over without seeming pause until he'd find that Konoha was onto him. A visit from a fellow Jounin made him realize he needed to leave without haste, since they were apparently investigating the rash string of incidents he reported. During the night, Shikatsu would grab what he had, ANBU gear and all clothes... and he pretended to be on an important task for ANBU and simply just left. He had learned as much as he could without being caught further and by the time that Konoha would notice he was gone. Now, he wanders the countries, helping people in need and getting some experiments out of them at the same time.
