Indepth———

Personality——Tranquil, amiable. These two words alone could makeup the front-line layer of Tsugahara's neutral temperament. He is quite well rounded and while it does take one to know another, he will put forth his best effort to express himself brightly to reach a level of mutualism. Having been latter raised by elders, he enjoys the downtime in life; it is here that meditation and other reclusive proclivities are enjoyed by none other than himself—how can one enjoy the company of other's if they can't stand to be by themselves? The villager is smart and has above-average know how pertaining to things that commoner's delve in; he also shares a heightened sense of perception, much more than the common man, due to his meditative-ness and chakra abilities.

Tsuga can become rather soft, from harsh manners or words, which in turn causes him to become teary. In this event, he can change into a whole different entity - one that has been traumatized since a young age and thus, retaliates viciously towards those who have offended him. It does, however, take much to provoke so calm a man, but upon doing so, a great anger is unleashed from within the abyss of the ego; something that protects his life when pushed to such a level to unleash this staggering animosity. In the face of fear, he recalls those past horrors that brought this exclusive mental disorder to fruition: he can go all out on enemies if he seeks to protect himself and others he views as comrades.

The Saxum man isn't afraid to get his hands dirty - he just prefers that he doesn't have to. He takes a strong liking to physical work despite his frailty. His mind and spirit are strong innately, and become even more so when provoked to anger, thus causing him to become quite unlike his natural self. His borderline personality disorder pushes him to the threshold of tranquil sanity and one major push could land him in the realm of evil.

Appearance——The man of Ochi stands erect at six foot even and weighs in at a rather flimsy 142 pounds given his height. He could easily strip naked and stand adjacent to willow trees and be mistaken for one under the right lighting. With a more feminine than male visage, Tsugahara looks to be an eye pleasing male. His bodily features are soft and subtle.

Whitish-gray hair runs in lengths down his back, adding to his feminine look. He rarely lets it down and prefers to keep it tied into a flowing ponytail, while the rest of the albicant hairs arch over his brow and eyes. His ovalesque face is home to possibly the purest of white eyes... if not for their abysmal pupils, he could easily pass as one of Hyuugan descent. Soft eyebrows the same color of his hair rest coolly over his pearly eyes. His porcelain skin makes his nose all the more subtle given that it is naturally small and protrudes slightly; even his lips appear feminine with their soft look and peachy coloration. His voice appears to be soft but can turn harsh and venomous when angered.

Tsuga's entire being is thin and long. His arms are like thin tree trunks and barely hold any definition. He is left handed and utilizes his katana moderately with it. His collar bones are evident and one can barely tell that he has an Adam's apple, adding to his subtle masculinity. Within his homeland of the Stone Country, he fashions tanned or earth colored robes and occasionally, darker apparel. Like his arms, his legs are long and thin; Tsugahara is rather lithesome and graceful in his movements, and has surprising gusto about his speed.

His preferred primary weapon is that of the longsword variant, the katana. The weapon is wrapped in an atrous cloth and fitted with a blade that is blacker than most. The saya of the weapon matches the tsuka and is housed at his back, making his drawing of the weapon seem like he is reaching into a pouch at his backside. Given its name of Makkura, or Total Darkness, one can see why he donned it such - the nearly four foot weapon seems to extend into the shadows in the absence of light.

Background——Ochi Tsugahara was b orn to parents living outside of the country capital of Ka'aba with meager means to get by - everyone in their village was too poor to live inside the Stone capital and lived off of the forested and mountainous lands. By the time he had grown to be five, his parents took note of how their son had inherited his mother's chakra ability. They had hoped that one day, they would raise enough money to send him off to either Ame- or Iwagakure, as the desert lands of Wind country would be far too treacherous for their son's light complexion. He was well liked as a boy—everyone in that small village knew one another and most were amiable. With aid from his mother, the fundamentals of chakra had been passed on to him; unfortunately, she didn't know any more than that and so all Tsugahara was capable of achieving was minute tasks to help gather foods for the village.

At eight, terror seized his homeland: bandits - rouge ninja and common men like his father, tore into the village on one fateful night looking to ransack the place. His parents got slaughtered while trying to protect him, which caused the boy great grief at the time. In the midst of flame and torture, an elderly couple managed to escape with Tsugahara under the cloak of night; their destination was eastward toward the borderlands of Ame-no-Kuni. The images of the people who nutured him getting torn asunder stuck to his mind adhesively, and everytime he would close his eyes he would see the terror. The older villagers that took him in helped train his mind and spirit, thus increasing his ability to ward off the images and further hone his chakra capabilities in hope that he could still travel to Amegakure to become a shinobi. Tsuga, however, chose to stay with the elders and assist them and the others around the newer village as his years progressed. Unbeknownst to him and his new family, terror would strike again, but with a surprisingly different outcome.

He was fourteen when the assailant came. Just six years after the incident that left his parents and a majority of the villagers dead where they lay. With what he had learned from the elders that helped him survive, Tsugahara had killed the man. He hadn't been blessed with spiritual chakra as the boy, and soon fell victim to the crazed Tsuga, who had a violent flashback to the night his parents got murdered. Never had they seen him lose his temper like this - it was like a raging surge that swept through his young body that tore away at the man who had dared threaten his second family's safety. He left the small village on his own accord and thanked the elders that had helped him before his departure. He felt that he needed to get away and hopefully that would clear his mind.

During the next four years, Tsugahara began to travel around neighboring countries to find work; he has no goals of becoming a shinobi tied to a ninja village anymore, but does enjoy training with them to learn more techniques. All he really wants in life, despite his infrequent habits of becoming extremely hostile and fueled by hatred, is to gain an understanding of himself—hopefully the violent surges don't pull him under the current, where a new vile entity has the opportunity to emerge.

This technique may be disbelieved once interacted with. Target 1 source of illumination, such as a torch or lantern. The target source’s area of illumination is reduced by 3 meters. If this reduces its area of illumination to 0, then the light source is extinguished to anyone who sees it.

This technique may be negated. It does not impede their vision, cannot be physically removed, completely hides their features. User also gains a 50% chance each round to avoid having to make a saving throw against gaze attacks, just as if they averted their eyes. When the Jutsu's duration ends, the Shadow Mask fades over the course of 1d4 rounds (rather than immediately), giving the user time to keep their face hidden via other means. A successful Dispel GenJutsu performed against a Shadow Mask effectively ends the Jutsu and causes the same slow fading.
Limit: Must know the Shadow Perception.
