Karasu Uchiha

Name: Karasu Uchiha
Nickname: Godling, Reaper's Brat
Age: 81 (Appears in his early twenties)

Gender: Male



Height: 5'11"
Weight: 165lbs

Appearance: Much like his father's, Karasu's hair falls into soft spikes, slicked back in an uncaring way. It gleams softly, and radiates with an almost inner light, like the feathers of his namesake. His bangs fall around his face in a tantalixing manner, making an attempt for freedom only to accentuate his demeanor.

From underneath his hair, Karasu's eyes gleam with an almost cunning light. They are an unnatural color for an Uchiha, stained like drops of blood without even activating the Sharingan. This isn't actually a sign of impurity, however, as he did not inherit any of his mother's Hyuga DNA. They seem almost molten, drawing people in and both unnerving them and making them want to see more. In a fight, however, they will either harden or gleam with an unholy light depending on his mood.

His figure is much the same as his father's, lean yet muscular like a wolf's. He holds himself in a rellaxed manner near constantly, looking like he doesn't have a care in the world. His tan is light but noticeable, and he constantly gives off the sensation that nothing really matters so much that you can't have fun. He radiates an insane amount of excess life-force, and his attention span is notoriously non-existent.

His lazy grin is bright white, accentuating an angular, handsome face. He has an eternal five o'clock shadow, but it stays fashionably scruffy instead of growing out of control. His hands look strong, consistently playing with kunai or the grip of a sword, and his fingers seem almost perfect for playing musical instruments or drawing, which he also enjoys. His voice is deep and can get a bit rough, but it's almost always kind to those he cares about. It does, however, grow rather flirtatious and sarcastic at times, showing the Uchiha Main Family's classic disdain for bullshit and socially acceptable behavior.

All in all, he's a lady-killer.

Personality: Karasu is, for all intents and purposes, a jackass. There is no two ways about it. If you've ever met his father, you'd suddenly realize where he gets it from. He's almost always relaxed and easy-going, forgiving people who deserve it and blowing off people he deems idiots in equal measure. Whenever he meets someone new, he'll generally judge their character as quickly as he can. If they are someone "interesting", then he'll continue to interact with them. If they aren't, he'll make it all too clear that he really doesn't care for them. Social status and rank doesn't matter. IF you're an idiot, you're an idiot.

Fighting is one of Karasu's favorite pastimes, along with a few other things that start with the letter F. He doesn't necessarily want to get into something long and drawn out, considering that it gets boring after a while, but he gets disappointed if his opponents don't last more than thirty seconds. Surprisingly, however, when he's fighting is when he's most respectful, showing the part of his personality that is closest to his guarded heart. He loves the sense of brotherhood that comes along with the thrill of combat, and baring his heart to his opponent and challenging himself. If someone he cares about is hurt, however, all of that is thrown out the window, and he becomes a brutal, sadistic combatant that will only stop when the enemy is dead.

Around women, Karasu gets a bit funny. He respects them greatly, and doesn't necessarily have a type, preferring to think of every woman as a unique work of art. He is a bit of a romantic (read hopeless), and can come across as quite flirtatious with anyone that has caught his eye.

Frankly, he's his father's son, through and through. Completely and utterly.

Character History: Karasu was born shortly after the First Shinobi War, also known as the Great War. He had a twin that inherited his mother's Hyuga genetics, but unfortunately he had died shortly after birth, along with his mother. Tragic, right? His father raised himself and his sisters for a time, but it was clear that the man was...unhappy. It isn't that he didn't love them, no, it was far from that. His father was none other than the legendary Okami Uchiha, the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths. What could make such a man unhappy?

As it turned out, it was the unrest in the world. Okami had hit the stage where his wanderlust took over, and at his childrens' urging he went to go and seek his path once more. Karasu was still young at this point, but his sisters did their best raising him, along with assistance from their "uncle" Kosuke. He joined the Academy at an early age, and graduated in a time only beaten by his own father's record.

His teammates, he had decided, were idiots. His Sensei was pretty nice, though. Looking back on it, he was pretty sure he liked his Jounin instructor because she had a great ass and a nice rack. It definitely wasn't her combat abilities, since she was a puppet-user who lacked in most close-quarters situations, and it most certainly wasn't her forgetful personality, although that was endearing. Nah, it was definitely the ass.

In truth, his career as a shinobi was fairly boring early on. The Chuunin Exams were fairly fun, but that was mostly because he got to see his idiot team fail utterly while he managed to pass. They were jerks, though, and ended up dropping out when they failed the Exams anyway, so they weren't worth it.

The entirety of his Chuunin days were made up of going on solo missions due to not wishing to be held back by others, and cursing his own solitary nature. His social life was fine, but his relationships at work were strained due to his refusal to deal with others. It wasn't his fault, not really, but he'd seriously rather have the challenge of doing things alone.

Honestly, one of the biggest hardships during that time were tensions with other Villages, and the jobs that came up therein. In that time, he was recognized as being a skilled assassin and assault specialist, much like his father. Many of the ANBU he had the pleasure of working with recognized the skills and fighting style he displayed, and began referring to him as "Reaper's Brat", something that both made him proud and jabbed at him. Where in the world WAS his father?

On one mission, he got his answer. He came across a hermit when he was injured somewhere in the Kirigakure countryside, and the man raised him back to full health. In that time, the hermit told him the truth. Okami had been staying there, keeping an eye on the rest of their clan. Karasu spent a couple of weeks training with his father, and then left, remembering that the Jounin Exams were coming up.

Those Exams, he found, were almost boring in and of themselves. Old Uncle Kosuke had passed away by that point, and the new Hokage was decidedly NOT interesting at all. The only part of the Exams that was noteworthy was the combat section, where he had to fight against another Jounin hopeful.

The fight itself wasn't terribly special, but it was definitely fierce. Karasu's opponent was certainly skilled, and it was only through his sheer talent and reaction speed that Karasu wasn't killed. He won after half an hour of brutality and desperation, but he nearly passed out from chakra exhaustion.

When he was promoted at the ceremonies later, he saw Okami smiling at him from the crowd. If he was honest with himself, it was one of his fondest memories, especially after learning exactly how far he had to go.

After all, he wished to step out of Okami's shadow someday.

During the war against the Otsutsuki Clan sixty years ago, he found himself the highest ranking Shinobi left in Konohagakure after the death of the Kage. Ordering his adoptive nephew Kirei and best friend/brother Kurama to leave him behind and protect the civilians and remaining Shinobi as they evacuated, he resolved himself to die in what he believed to be his final stand.

Pushing his Mangekyo Sharingan and his own chakra beyond his limits, he summoned the perfected form of Susano'o, and began fighting.

Three days later, he lay in the center of countless slain enemies, leaking blood from his mouth and eyes. Raising a shaky hand to his pocket, pulling out a picture of himself and his older sisters, playing with their father. Akame, the elder twin, had been slain saving his life from an assassin months prior, and a seal on the opposite side contained the last gift he had ever been left by the girl. Her eyes, something to return his light should he ever lose it. Chuckling and slipping it back in his pocket, he figured it was too late now.

A familiar voice, one laden with sorrow, spoke to him, telling him that it wasn't his time to die. Opening his eyes once more, he stared his father in the eye as the godlike Shinobi formed a few hand signs, easing his son's pain and guiding him into a deep slumber, freezing his body in time.

Karasu found himself awakening in the present day as the crystal of pure chakra shattered around him. A girl appearing around his physical age, a Chuunin of some unrecognizable Village, backed away, apparently being shocked that her discovery was a man. Falling to the ground, he gave her a weak chuckle before he passed out.

Hell of a first impression.
