Character Depth
Personality:
Serious
Even without knowing or talking to Tai, one would know that he is a very solemn young man. The very air around him breathes formality and professionalism. He has never been known to have outburts, fits of rage, or mental breakdowns. Those are viewed as wastes of energy to Tai. Coupled with this serious nature is Tai's tendency to criticize others for acting unprofessional or childish, even if he is younger in age. The words that come from him when he criticizes others aren't harsh, but one would think his expression and tone were.
Unyielding
While not stubborn or thickheaded in any manner, Taizen does not easily give in to the will of others. When there is an instance where he knows himself to be right, it is hard to make him step down. The only sure way to make him accept another view is with higher authority than his. In a similar manner, Taizen does not easily give in to demands or intimidations and may easily hold his own within that manner. Whatever his objective is, he is will not be deterred from completeing it.
Compassionate
Despite his serious and criticizing nature, Tai is also very considerate of others. Almost never will the boy purposefully insult or hurt another person, unless he thinks it is a necessary evil to ultimately help them. Surprising to everybody around him, Taizen actually takes time to go out of his way to help people. Usually, the people don't know what to think as he doesn't come off really as a happy person. The fact that he hardly has any sort of tone to his voice or any expression on his face when helping confuses them when he arrives to help. Many may take this as him viewing them as a burden and helping out of a sense of duty. Genuinely, Taizen is just a boy that wants to give aid to people around him. To him, it makes him feel more human.
Efficient
Laziness is one of Taizen's most hated enemies. Taizen never allows himself to partake in the act of being lazy. The key ingredient to success is hard work, and hard work is inhibited by laziness. He prefers to never be idle during the day but if he ever does happen to become still he fills this time by reading a book or formulating strategies. Sometimes when he is walking places he will bring a novel with him to fill the mental void. Time is best spent improving upon himself and if he doesn't take advantage of that time then his enemies will. Properly utilising everything to become better will bridge the gap between success and failure. Life and death.
Intelligent
Although most don't usually say good things about Taizen, most can agree that he is a highly intelligent boy. He is still a young age but is still a very capable ninja in his own rights. This intelligence of his gives him aid in many different scenarios. From as miniscule as calculating costs of products in his head to as important as battle strategizing while under attack from an enemy, this intelligence of his has been there to help him out. Although he tries to not look down upon less intelligent individuals, he can not help but to feel slightly superior because of his mental capabilities. Nonetheless, he still tries to treat others well even if they do not exhibit the same intellectual prowess as him.
Appearance:
Battle Gear
Casual
At first glance nothing visually about Taizen is attention grabbing. His whole person is neutrally colored, having grey skin and silver hair resulting from his shark ritual. His eyes have been slightly rounded and darkened as well from the same ritual. Even the very clothes that cover his body are usually colored black, white, or grey. The most recognizable traits about Tai are his extremely sharp teeth and the gills that he has. Both of these characteristics he keeps hidden. Taizen often wears a scarf or neck wrap to keep his gills from being seen. Taizen is proud of his being able to fit in easily, excluding his sharp teeth. These cause him to keep his emotions very neutral and doesn't show his teeth often when talking. Anytime he smiles his lips stay together to hide his teeth.
Taizen is rather small for a shinobi, although slightly above average for his age. His body has become extremely dense from the ritual involving a great white. His arms are rather lithe, being the leanest part of his physique. Taizen's core is the bulkiest part of his body, although it is still lean compared to other ninjas. His legs are muscular as well, giving off the appearance of being a lower body powerhouse when shown. Taizen hardly chooses to show his body, choosting to cover up with many articles of clothing.
Looking deeper into his face, one would notice that it is gentler than expected, despite his vicious teeth. The boy has a pointed jawline padded with soft cheeks. His chocolate eyes retain a certain sparkle to them. The nose is rather thin but stays rather defined. Without knowing of the boy's sharkish features and background, girls used to think of him as being handsome. His more vicious and peculiar features have since placed him to be thought of as a monster by the children deemed to be normal.
Taizen's casual clothing is very concealing, choosing to hide the abnormalities of his body from others. He likes to believe that he does it for the sake of others, yet in truth he despises the looks that these traits of his grant him. A scarf or a large neck wrap always stays atop the boy's shoulders and covers the gills on his neck. Plain colors are a favorite of Taizen's, helping him to not stand out. He chooses to wear dark shirts underneath the scarves he wears, and the length of his sleeves varies much. Taizen wears pants or shorts depending upon the sleeve length of his shirts. He chooses to wear the standard shoes as others.
Taizen's battle garments, on the other hand, are different. While keeping a scarf or neck wrap, he also chooses to cover his face. He is aware of others' knowledge of his clan, and chooses to keep his strengths hidden. As such, he would not have accidental revealing of his sharp teeth. Taizen chooses to bear sleeveless armor or tight clothing during battle to keep his movement unrestricted. The color scheme of his attire retains the same simple as his casual clothing. Taizen's feet now bear boots that come up to his shins to prevent mud and the like from covering his feet.
Background: Long before Taizen was even a thought there was a man gifted with the Kaishin abilities. This man was slightly knowledgable in ninjutsu skills yet he was not a shinobi. He chose instead to become a doctor and studied medical jutsu then decided to travel the different countries with his knowledge. In his travels he was approached by a wandering clan of Hoshigaki that used their brute strength for mercenary purposes. They explained that they were all fighters and usually relied on the assistance of outsiders for medical purposes, and he complied. This was where he met the mother of Taizen.
Due to the effectancy if this doctor, his contract was renewed many times, while he only stayed because of one particular woman. He was unable to speak to the warrior, but creating a world in his head where they wed each other and were husband in wife. Soon, the doctor was unable to tell fantasy from reality and lost the ability to restrain himself. During the night he attacked and restrained the woman before confessing his love to her. She told him that she was unable to reciprocate those feelings but would not tell anyone if he released her. Instead, the man flew into a rage and raped the woman. The next morning the man was gone and many of the clan's warriors tried to hunt him down to no avail.
The woman soon showed signs of being pregnant and months later in the winter, the young boy was born. Instead of having feelings of animosity towards the boy because of the father's actions, she welcomed the child with a loving heart as any normal mother would. He wasn't as welcome to the rest of the clan, who saw the boy as an ominous being. They only agreed to give the boy the ritual out of the respect they had for his mother.
Taizen's mother prepared everything for the ritual in place of where the father would usually find the ingredients needed. Having chosen to let fate decide what shark would be used for the child's ritual, she chose the first shark that she made contact with. Surprised, but overjoyed, to find that a great white was said first shark, the mother thought that fate meant for great things to come of her child. Everyone that she told this to just scoffed at her belief. A bastard child couldn't become so great so as to live up to the name of the shark that was used for its ritual.
The early life of Taizen was marked with being ostacized from most of the others within the clan. Only his mother ever really cared about him. This was the most affection that he ever received within his life. She taught him many things. Among this list of subjects was not how he was born. The only real explanation she gave for him not having a father was that he left. Never did she reveal anything other than that. What she did teach him was of his shark prowess and that it made him stronger than many others of his own age. The woman was also eager to start teaching the child how to use chakra and the techniques that the clan carried, yet that didn't last long.
When the boy was about 7, that was when his life turned upside down. The clan of mercenaries had rivals in the business, who particularly didn't like competition. It was chance that the two would meet while traveling. The other one just so happened to have brought more people. During the night, the rival clan came and destroyed the Hoshigaki clan in one fell swoop. Taizen still remembers clearly the face of the man that killed his mother using lightning style jutsu. He mocked the boy viciously, cooing him and telling him that he was too weak to prevent any of this and would never amount to anything now that he was a bastard. That was the second time that people had told him this. He still couldn't stand it. Yet, the man was right. Taizen was still a child and didn't even know anything about fighting. After being smacked around by the red haired man, Taizen was challenged to come after him when he believed to have found the strength. "I like a good challenge anyway."
Just like that, the child was all alone. He scavenged what was left of the camp, yet found nothing but a few kunai and some senbon. Everything would help, no matter how small it was. The boy didn't have any time to mourn for his mother. He needed to find food. So, he took off into the wilderness of the land of thunder to try and find a new beginning to his life. This one was sorely unwanted.
For five years Taizen spent in the seclusion of the wilderness. It was here he learned to harness his innate bloodlimit. It began when he found a raided wagon with much needed supplies within, yet most of the high valued goods were already taken. But small things like knives and clothes were still within. Inside one of the scarves was a basic scroll that taught the many handsigns that shinobi used. Taizen was able to remember the lessons that his mother gave him, yet she never tought him about handsigns. After many weeks of practice with them, the first thing to happen was the creation of water within the air. It surprised Taizen at first, but soon it became a regular occurrence for him. Several times a day he would call upon that technique for water whenever he needed it. Then, he stumbled upon the ability to freeze it. This sort of practice continued for the years he remained outside of civilization and kept evolving his prowess.
It wasn't until Taizen stumbled upon the large gates of the Cloud village that he ever thought of turning to society. Soon after learning about the art of being a shinobi, he decided that was what he wanted to become. There were some slight problems when he tried enrolling into the academy. At first they were less than welcome to have him. It was odd for a Hoshigaki at the age of 12 with exceptional skills in water and ice style ninjutsu to stroll into a village and attempt to enroll into the academy. They decided he was obviously a spy for a rival village and detained him. It took days of interrogation to confirm his story, and much of it was spent violating the privacy of his mind. Eventually, he was permitted to join the academy.
His first few days at the academy were enjoyable. Nobody could see his gills due to the scarf he always wore. This friendliness caught him off guard and let him get caught up within it. When he smiled, that was when the rumors about him started. After he tried to explain that his sharp teeth was because he had a ritual that merged him with a shark and showed his gills, he was even further shunned. Among his own clan he was shunned, and even here in this academy it didn't stop. Even though they ostracized him, Taizen couldn't find the capacity to hate them. That was the part that angered him. He couldn't hate them for the injustice they did to him. Soon, he decided to ignore the others as they did to him and focused on his studies. In barely any time at all, Taizen graduated from the academy. Most techniques were those that he learned while still a child. Yet some of them proved difficult and didn't allow him to graduate until he could complete them. These were the genjutsu techniques. He would grow to hate those kind of jutsu very quickly. When he was 13 years old, Taizen became a genin.
