Kodai, Akira
"Umarekodai"


"Dream big, seek truth and know all. That is my will and my way."
phpBB [video]

General Information Age: 130
Gender: Male
Height: Variable; Base - 7'1"
Weight: Variable; Base - Around 500lbs
Physical Features:
Akira is wholly mechanical aside from his protected core/preservation device within his chest which is in actuality his true self and the only remains of humanity left, containing what little organics required to keep living and as such he can change appearance at will.
The man's current appearance and main body is that of his puppet Umarekodai and still yet appears rather salvaged together despite how whole it has gotten; Overall he appears to look like a strange ninja doll made of wood and metal with a blank face with a slit running across where one's eye should be, followed by a smaller slit down the middle of that one that gives an overall appearance of the beginnings of manga outlines for starting a face drawing but with a masked shinobi kind of style.

His chest is blocky, yet round and slanted like the misshapen torso of a very thick and bulky mannequin with a powerful thick, bulky right arm with a proper but powerful hand and an extra long and twisted left arm that seems to form more of a three pointed claw could almost reach the floor when fully extended.
Both legs appear normal enough but the left looks more like plated armour whilst the right is more wooden and like a sportsman wearing a thick shin guard.

Clothing/Accessories:
Akira tends to wear a simple black, large, raggedy cloak over the top to hide what he really looks like but easily forgoes it if it were to get in the way, otherwise his puppet body suffices.
Picture:
Personality:
  • General:
    Akira is a bit of a thoughtful person and general avid thinker and ponderer, often getting absorbed into things and lost in ideas especially his research which these days can involve truly figuring out the past and everything he has missed.

    He is willing to help others and work with others but can forget others's needs and wants, often getting too focused on things and what he requires but with multiple reminders can be steered back onto the path of said others or even just other things.
    As such the man can be difficult to deal with and can be seen as very self absorbed or too perfectionist with many things, though with patience one can see the charm of a great elder being full of many quirks.

    In his current state the ancient human puppet is truly mute and has to find other ways to communicate, including sign language and through script which can further the difficulty with understanding his intentions and having the required patience to work with him whilst creating a mysterious air about him.
    However he is also working on recovering his voice along with many of his lost and forgotten skills that seem to linger deep within his figurative mind.

    Akira hate belittlement and people being put in their place in general, liking to see people shine and minds spark and yet in a semi-contradictory fashion this is doubly so for himself as he yet still likes to shine and be free to a world of greatness but tries reign things in when made aware of it as he hopes not to shine above others but among others.

    Similarly he has gained a distaste to hyper vigilant justice, especially that what had formed in Sunagakure that bared down on its citizens with the fear of god and unrestrained control.
    However the man still prefers a semblance of order and gets antsy over ideas of total chaos, believing in methodological action and just praise to those deserving with wholly punitive practices seen as distasteful as he hopes everyone can work towards betterment.

    That being said he is not necessarily a slow and unmoving type person and will flow with the changes around him, shifting gears in his thinking to understand a situation or others especially with everything he has to learn from the past 100 missing years.
    Though at times gears can be jammed due to his habit of getting lost in thoughts and absorbed in his own ideas, as such it may take a moment to pull him out of such a scenario and get the gears going again.
  • Hopes/Dreams:
    Grow as a being in both mind and body; become a perfect, shining puppet capable of anything and with the knowledge of all.
  • Fears:
    Losing his way and never being able to regain himself, filling him with dread and anxiety but pushes himself to go beyond them and try and understand and learn different angles to combat them.
    Death itself, especially an unspectacular one where he has never learned enough or done enough.
  • Combat Mentality:
    Cautious and methodological actions that direct the flow of battle, assuming he must get into a true battle and not avoid it or defeat foes before they even know they are to fight.
    Opponents must never know his true self and as such, when he can, he relies on strategies using puppets and other weapons beyond the reach of his main body but will get up close and personal when required.

Subject 0 - Umarekodai:
Overall it appears to look like a strange ninja doll made of wood and metal with a blank face with a slit running across where one's eye should be, followed by a smaller slit down the middle of that one that gives an overall appearance of the beginnings of manga outlines for starting a face drawing but with a masked shinobi kind of style.

The chest is blocky, yet round and slanted like the misshapen torso of a very thick and bulky mannequin with a powerful thick, bulky right arm with a proper but powerful hand and a long and twisted left arm that seems to form more of a three pointed claw.
Both legs appear normal enough but the left looks more like plated armour whilst the right is more wooden and like a sportsman wearing a thick shin guard.
This puppet has a 10 strength frame.

Mechanisms:
  • Core Recess: In the centre of the chest part is a compartment that simply functions as a holding place for Akira's core with layers of protection. The head can pop off to release the core or in emergencies the chest can essentially break and open to release it.
  • Wire Release [R. Hand]: The right forearm contains 10m of wire that can be released through the palm of the hand with full force of a whip.
  • Wire Connect [L. Hand]: The left hand can receive the 10m from the right hand and form a connection and allow it to be controlled and pulled taut between the two hands as Akira sees fit.
  • Kunai Release [R. Knee]: The right knee can shoot out kunai contained in the upper leg using a 8 strength launcher. Current Ammo - 5 Kunai.
  • Shuriken Release [R. Hand]: The backside of the right hand can fire shuriken from the wrist using a 8 strength launcher. Current Ammo - 5 shuriken.
  • Shuriken Release/Connect [L. Arm]: The left forearm release shuriken out as a shot using a 8 strength launcher or directly into the hand to be held before release. Current Ammo - 3 Shuriken
  • Shuriken Release [R. Shoulder]: The right shoulder can fire shuriken out in any direction away from the head using a 8 strength launcher. Current Ammo - 1 Shuriken.
  • Shuriken Release [L. Shoulder]: The left shoulder can fire shuriken out in any direction away from the head using a 8 strength launcher. Current Ammo - 1 Shuriken.
  • Smoke Bomb Release [Buttocks]: The bum can drop smoke bombs. Current Ammo - 1 Smoke Bomb
  • Flash Bang Release [F. Pelvis (junk)]: The front area of the pelvis (where one's junk would normally be) can release flash bangs using a 8 strength launcher. Current Ammo - 1 Flash Bang.
  • Explosive Tag Connect/Release [R. Knee]: The right knee has a connecting mechanism that attaches Explosive Tags to Kunai at Akira's discretion. Alternatively they can essentially be printed out the top of the knee. Current Ammo - 5 explosive Tag.
  • Sword Shift [L. Arm]: The left forearm can shift and transform into a kind of twisted looking blade, with the edges becoming sharp and the claw-like fingers twisting together into the end. Essentially the arm becomes a 80cm long sword blade with the rest of the arm maintaining the average human arm length due to already being so elongated. This occurs at 8 speed.

*[Puppetry Style • String Trap Technique]
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After using chakra strings, the puppeteer is able to attach them to objects, then solidify pieces of the string as someone is passing by, causing them to trip if they don’t notice the invisible wires.

*[Puppetry Style • String Toggle Technique]
D-Rank Ninjutsu
By releasing less chakra into his chakra strings, the user is effectively able to 'turn off' some of his chakra strings, giving them no ability to pull or retract anything. In order to accommodate this, the strings will lengthen and shorten so they don't react to anything that they are attached to. The strings can be reactivated by putting a bit of chakra into them, letting the user use them again. This can also be used to attach wires to someone, and then deactivate the wires so they aren't able to feel the wires at all until they are needed. The strings can still be removed as if they were on, though.

[Puppetry Style • Emergency Ejection]
D-Rank Ninjutsu
The user ejects their core from the current puppet body with speed and force equal to [control], typically aiming to move to safety or into another puppet.

Puppetry Style • Faux Launch
D-Rank Ninjutsu
The user substitutes real ammo by channelling chakra into a launcher in its place and shooting it out using the strength of the launcher all in one go.
The weapon generates at [control] speed and is launched as a 15cm diameter sphere of pure chakra, firing in the same fashion as real ammo would.

Puppetry Style • Chakra Rope
D-Rank Ninjutsu
The user produces and controls chakra strings in a manner that binds an object at [control] strength and speed, causing the strings to thicken and tighten like rope. Once bound the user can release control of the rope if they so desire, in doing so it will persist under its own strength for 5 posts or until broken.

C-Rank
*[Puppetry Style • Initiate Puppetry Technique]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
The Puppetry Technique is a Ninjutsu technique used by puppeteers. By releasing chakra from their tenketsu, the puppeteer is able to release chakra strings from their finger. These strings are able to move 25 meters. This jutsu allows the puppeteer to attach their chakra strings to inanimate, chakra-less objects at [Control] Speed. While an inanimate object is being controlled, it’s treated as if it has a speed equal to the puppeteer’s control.

*[Puppetry Style • Manipulate Advancing Blades]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: *[Initiate Puppetry Technique]
By attaching multiple chakra strings to their kunai, the puppeteer is able to hover multiple kunai around them before throwing them all forward. The puppeteer is able to hold an amount of kunai equal to their [Control].

*[Puppetry Style • Puppet Invisibility Technique]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
By channeling chakra to a puppet, the puppeteer is able to form a chakra coating over the puppet. This coating causes the puppet to become completely invisible as long as every piece of the puppet is completely still. Once the puppet moves, it becomes fully visible.

*[Puppetry Style • Puppet Senses]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Required: *[Puppetry Style • Initiate Puppetry Technique]
By connecting a chakra string from a part of a puppet or person, the puppeteer is able to transfer their senses from their body to whichever part the strings are connected to on the puppet or human. This allows the puppeteer from ‘see’ and ‘hear’ from the perspective of what is connected to the string.

Puppetry Style • Draining Lash

By channelling chakra to a weapon controlled by chakra strings or a weapon being launched from a puppet, the user is able to add a strength sapping effect. Upon hitting someone said weapon will drain away 1 strength for 5 posts.
Iijutsu:2DShow
D-Rank
*[Iijutsu • Sterilization Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
As sanitation cannot always be guaranteed in field operations, this technique provides a quick substitute to traditional sterilization methods. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will channel the chakra throughout his/her upper body (torso, arms, hands, face). This chakra will chew away at harmful bacteria and other foreign bodies on the skin, cleansing it until it is thoroughly sterile, and can be spread to objects, most commonly surgical tools. Of course, this takes both concentration and time, and in order to sterilize the entire upper body, it will take a duration of one (1) post. Users of this technique can also choose to sterilize certain parts of their upper body or the wounds of another person instead for a lesser concentration period. Once they are sanitized, they remain this way until coming in contact with more bacteria.

*[Iijutsu • Chakra Stitching]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
When traditional stitching supplies aren't available, *[Iijutsu • Chakra Stitching] truly shines. After performing a short set of handseals, the user will gently place his/her index finger at the base of the patient's wound. Once this is done, the user will lift his/her finger and touch it to the other side of the wound, causing a visible 'stitch' of chakra to appear. This is repeated until the wound has been pulled together. Although precision is key, this technique can still be performed relatively quickly. Small to moderate wounds take very little time to stitch, while large wounds will take one (1) post of work to mend. This technique drains a minuscule amount of chakra from the person it is attached to in order to keep the stitches going, theoretically, ad-infinitum, and can be cancelled at any time by the user with a single handseal. Any intensive or strenuous movements will cause the stitches to break.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Born long ago recent warring activities broke the seals that bound him and set the ancient man loose upon the world, where he bid his time and slowly reforged himself anew as Kodai Akira.
However to truly understand who this Kodai Akira is one must look back over a hundred years in the past where it all began with a boy called Kakashi...

Kakashi was born in an ever growing large family with 2 elder siblings and soon to be a further 2 younger siblings, among others such as parents and many uncles, aunties and grandparents.
As a young kid he really looked up to his elders and pushed to be great like his older brother and sister, which only became stronger as his two younger sisters were born and drew more and more attention away whilst his eldest continued to shine as a star.
Thus Kakashi knew he had to prove himself and pull out of the forgotten middle child syndrome, pushing for great knowledge and to become a strong shinobi.

However the old Akira couldn't quite master any affinities and focused on arcane ninpou with a strong focus on Iijutsu and Kugutsu which was something his mother also learned, as such she did help steer him in said direction when she did have time for him but also studied some Fuuinjutsu along the way.
Even this seemed paltry to the shining overachiever of his elder brother and even his elder sister who also pushed herself and weaponised Fuuton like no other he had seen before, plus other students mocked him still for not even touching the elements and his younger siblings still got doted on more than he ever could.

Unable to push into the light Kakashi almost burned out but was taken in by a mentor who showed him the ways of knowledge and how Sunagakure needed to grow and advance, as such he was lead down this path of research and helped advance the abilities of Iijutsu to a new level for his village and even ventured into his own knowledge of the ways of Kugutsu and together they brought him to the marvel of human puppetry.

With his knowledge diving he found others like himself and began growing as a group mainly focused on research, particular that related to human puppetry but also ninpou as a whole, pushing everything they could to its limits.
Some of their research was very sceptical to some, though at the time had no real push back as it seemed normal to dive into such research for the sake of one's village so that it could be strong in times of war.

This was most of Kakashi's life when he started to get sick, presumably due to stressing himself with mass amounts of overwork, still dreaming of surpassing his siblings and becoming the true shining star. As such he began to push his research even further and use himself in his group's experiments, which wasn't truly an unknown thing to do even if some found displeasure in such things.

Eventually Kakashi was preparing go beyond humanity and turn himself fully into a human puppet with the help of his team, though at the time there were some whispers that they hoped were not true of a possible crazed heretic who used body modifications for evil doings.
Nonetheless preparations where prepared when such whispers turned out to be true as the heretic rogue ninja Habimori, Manza appeared before the 8th Kazekage and killed them, releasing a sealed genma back upon the world and condemning body modifications for all.

There were many weary of such modifications and even more sceptical of those willing to go as far as Kakashi and become nothing like a human at all, as such there was a massive outcry following the Kazekage's death and to calm the masses there was a massive crackdown on body mods with great legislations swiftly sweeping the village and in particular those going as far as becoming anything like a human puppet were declared heretics and abominations and such an act was blasphemy in of itself.

However Kakashi couldn't turn back now and his team worked in secrecy to finish their job with strategies put in place to avoid the crackdown, though as they were completing the process their time ran out and they had to complete the preservation device on the run and enacted the last remaining strategy and sealed Kakashi away in hiding and fled with more than half being captured for conspiring against Sunagaure.

Unfortunately the device was never found or recovered until 100 years later when circumstances aligned during a 5 year war, which broke the ancient seal and released the core and awoke the consciousness within.
The remains of a man were utterly confused and did what little he remembered and pulled together bits and bobs to move and escape.

In utter confusion the man made his way out in his makeshift puppet and learned small tidbits here and there that made it clear he had been hidden away more than a few days or maybe even years, as such he ventured away from the village amongst much chaos and found himself a secluded area to recover.

As the war went on and finally ended with everyone recovering, so too did the man begin to recover and build himself up as he tried to learn of the missing 100 years in his secluded hut, taking aid from nearby villagers thanks to a curious youth that ended up visiting him and supplying him parts.
However everything was a toll and he had lost much of his knowledge, even his ability to speak, or at least it was locked away along with his now dulled skills but after a time he had more or less built up a proper working body even if it was still rather makeshift and now was the time to venture out and truly regain himself as his new identity; Kodai, Akira.
