[I][U]Age Appearance:[/U][/I] 25 [I][U]Sexuality:[/U][/I] Bisexual [I][U]Birthplace:[/U][/I] ? (Even Skall’s not sure) [B][U]Organization:[/U][/B] Clan Monzaemon [B][U]Clan Position[/U][/B]: Head Assassin [B][U]Chakra Nature:[/U][/B] Lightning, Fire [I][U]Additional Appearance Details:[/U][/I] [img]http://i.imgur.com/l3Gy0gK.jpg[/img] Skall is moderately slim, with a wiry layer of muscle covering his boney frame. He weighs around 130 lbs. (58.9 kg) and stands at 5’6” in height. He hast jet black hair that flows freely and light brown eyes. When not being inconspicuous he wears his coyote mask and headdress, with a pair of reddish-brown hide leggins, various pouches, and goes barefoot. Each arm is adorned with several strips of leather wrapped around his forearms all the way down to the wrist, a white and black feather hanging from the left stripl. However, since he is almost always working, he disguises himself in whatever he can find. Whether it’s the rags of a drunken beggar or the armor of a samurai; His appearance changes drastically and frequently. He is not foreign to using face paint or makeups to change his skin tone either. There are numerous descriptions that he is known for, though very few get it correct. He has essentially mastered the art of non-genjutsu disguise. [B][U]History:[/U][/B] Skall was found aimlessly wandering the desert by Uemura Monzaemon, barking and growling at anyone who came near him. He was, for all intents and purposes, feral. The only thing that lay in the path behind him were corpses of bandits rogue shinobi who had tried to rob or harm the youth. When the mad boy attacked him, a battle between Skall and Uemura’s ensued. Aside from his agility and ferocious nature, one trait led Uemura to spare the feral boy. When cornered, Skall performed a strange jutsu and released a cloud of red gas from his skin that burned his lungs and eyes but did not kill him. Unaware of Uemura’s true power, this only resulted in causing the boy to go into seizures and pass out. It became clear that the cause for the child’s madness was his own strange power and his inability to attack someone with it without harming himself. Somehow he had managed to survive poisoning himself time and time again. Uemura took the child in and began to raise him. His throat and lungs were permanently damaged, resulting in a gravelly and almost unearthly voice when the child spoke. Regardless of this, Skall was educated, trained and raised as a Monzaemon and felt a deep love for his surrogate father, willing to do anything for him. He took up the use of chakra threads but never showed any real interest in puppets, preferring to use them as tools instead. Extensive training led him to control and safely use his gift so that he no longer poisoned himself with it. Skall has been at the beck and call of Uemura (and to a lesser extent his brother) ever since, slaying those who stood in his way and performing any task deemed too violent or vile by anyone else. The only thing Skall remembers about before his time in the desert was that he had a family who dressed just like him, and a memory of his mother crying in pain. [B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Skall’s psyche is fractured and extremely fragile. He often shifts between calm, melancholy, and enraged. His mood swings are usually caused by bad memories or failing at a task set by his surrogate father. With that said, there is a sort of curiosity and an eerie sense of innocence when he’s not foaming at the mouth with blood.

Skall has three variants: Poisonous, incendiary (fiery explosive), and regular. The regular javelins come in two sizes: Standard and compact. Standards are about 2.5 feet in length, while the compact size is only about 8 inches in length. Osira uses these javelins in conjunction with his chakra threads to hurl them great distances using the tension in his threads like an atlatl. They can also be used for close range but are only good for blocking and stabbing since they have no edge. The javelins have two pressure-sensitive triggers on either side that are depressed as the javelin enters the target. This triggers the spring-loaded mechanism inside and either a) releases the poison within or b) combines two volatile liquids that cause a small, fiery burst capable of igniting enemies.

[url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Running_Fire]Fire Release: Running Fire[/url]: Used primarily to create distance and “chase” enemies into a desired position. [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Clone_Technique]Shadow Clone Technique[/url]: Osira is only capable of making one additional clone without hindering his abilities. [b]Custom Jutsu[/b] [b]Name of Technique[/b]: Lightning Release: Reluctant Coil [b]Rank[/b]: B [b]Range[/b]: Nature Type: Lightning [b]Handseals[/b]: Two. Tori, Mi (plus the time it takes to form a chakra thread) [b]Description[/b]: Skall creates a chakra thread attached to something small like a kunai, shuriken, or compact javelin and runs a conducts a current through the length of the thread, wielding it like a whip. The item it is attached is meant to act like a weight rather than a weapon, as a chakra thread almost entirely formed of lightning is very difficult to control. This technique can also be used by wrapping the chakra thread around something or someone and then quickly converting the thread back and forth. This is Skall’s favored means of collecting information and a brutal form of torture. [b]Weakness[/b]: The thread can be broken like any other and outright dissipates if it touches something grounded or resistant to electricity. Aside from that, the name itself implies how difficult it is to make the “whip” do what you want it to. Naturally this ability drains chakra at a steady pace while being used. [b]Custom Jutsu[/b] [b]Name of Technique[/b]: Sacred Art: Ozone Release (Fire+Lightning) [b]Rank[/b]: S [b]Range[/b]: Medium to long (moving very slowly) [b]Handseals[/b]: Six. I, Uma, Ushi, Uma, Tori, Tatsu [b]Description[/b]: By concentrating and essentially superheating lightning chakra and then kneading fire chakra within his body, Skall can release the hidden technique that has caused those underestimating him to fall time and time again. After performing the required handseals, Skall inhales deeply and holds his breath before a cloud of pure ozone slowly erupts from his pores and rises, forming into a barely-visible, faint-red bubble in front of him. Once he releases his breath, the bubble moves forward at a steady pace (roughly a meter per second but faster if the wind carries it). If the bubble hits its target, it will erupt into a cloud of ozone gas. If inhaled, ozone is capable of causing great pain when breathing and inflaming the airways and lungs. This lack of oxygen can cause fainting, temporary paralysis and even death if inhaled in great enough quantities. The burning sensation within the throat and windpipe are enough to bring someone to their knees. If there is no wind and Skall does not push the bubble forward with his breath, the bubble can remain for several minutes before dissipating, acting as a trap. Since the gas is not a poison, there is no remedy to cure it. It can only be prevented by holding one’s breath or filtering the air. [b]Weakness[/b]: This technique is not only extremely slow to initiate, but also moves at a very slow and steady pace once used. Between the time it takes to weave handseals, focus and knead chakra, and release and form the bubble, an enemy could be long gone. On top of that, it is very susceptible to wind and can be blown away by both wind jutsu and natural wind conditions. If punctured, the bubble erupts into a cloud regardless of where it is. Skall is not immune to this technique. Nobody that breathes oxygen is, though his mask would prevent immediate inhalation and give a half second or so to react. The unpredictable nature of a natural gas makes it difficult to incorporate this into any techniques other than this most basic one. [/hider]
