OROBORO, Kakuzu

Tall man, standing at six feet and 4 inches at full height [6'4] he has a very lean build to his physique weighing in at a solid one hundred and ninety pounds [190 lbs] he finds himself to be quite the imposing individual. Long grey hair cascades down from his scalp, raining down in a neat straight fashion reaching just passed his mid back a single braid is made that is usually kept hanging over his left shoulder flowing down to his abdominal. A pair of stunning green eyes hide under all the mess of hair staring out at the world with a very menacing glare that gives the man a creepy vibe, his skin as pale as can be but he likes it that way so there's no mind on his part. The overall build of his body as mentioned before is lean, with every visible muscle neatly cut, and defined showing the man has had some formal training in some form of physical fitness; making him a very athletic young man. Another more notable feature is the scars on his face, it runs down diagonally from upper right to lower left slashing right over his nose bridge, the deep scar is hard to miss for anyone who finds themselves staring down this mans features. A toothy grin is usually how he greets all finding it amusing to creep others out the Mad Devil is an odd individual that is very expressive when he speaks so his facial features often depict his direct emotions accurately.

When it comes to his clothing we find that Kakuzu prefers the color black a lot, he wears a long black robe that hangs from his shoulders running down to hang just over his ankles. The robe has grey trimmings to it, that cuff around the wrist, and define the high collar that comes up to settle around his chin. Under this robe he wears a long sleeve all white buttoned shirt that is tucked into the waistline of his dark pants which he straps nicely to his body with a leather belt. Across the surface of his torso from the left shoulder down to the right hip he wears a long grey scarf that is tied to a firm knot at the hip keeping it neatly in place. Then you have his comfortably fitting dress shoes that he keeps well polished, and cleaned all of this coming to a complete set with the rather long top hat he wears on his head. This top hat pushes bangs of his gray hair down to cover his stunning eyes from view most of the time, unless of course he has the hat off, and is wearing his silver framed glasses.

he did not earn his name the mad devil for committing petty crimes, he is named the mad devil for the level of instability that he has shown to have. kakzuzu does not entirely rationalize situations, his massive ego blinds him in doing so he believes himself a being that is destined for such greatness that he will one day sit amongst the gods. it is this raging ego that causes Kakuzu to believe that he can get away with anything he wants, he does not think ahead to the consequences of his actions not because he is careless;but because he simply does not care. Ultimately in the end Kakuzu has put himself on a pedestal above all others, he looked down on them his wild eyes passing judgement as he sees fit. Kakuzu is obsessed with death, he has a fascination with corpses, what happens to the body after life, and anything to do with the topic his interest in death has led him to wonder many things; such as the secret to immortality.

when it comes to socializing kakuzu can be surprisingly charming, despite his mental state he does find himself enjoying a good conversation with someone he finds worth while. This man does like to show off whether it is in battle, or just by showing how educated he really is by his speech pattern. Kakuzu has a tendency to be very blunt with others, he does not filter what he says not because he forgets to but because he doesn't care to. this man will throw the truth in your face, if you like great if not oh well. another thing about this particular individual is his curiosity, he is always interested in new, and interesting things he usually refers to them as 'delicacies', wanting to observe them, and test them. with a very strong belief that the world is his for the taking, kakuzu finds himself always making big plans, yes he does sometimes reach too high into the skies, and needs to be smacked back down; but with his twisted sense of humor its always worth a good laugh.

Despite all this, Kakuzu does to an extent have some sort of conscious no matter how twisted it may be, all his ambitions, and his experiments are not for nothing. Kakuzu feels he needs to find the secret to immortality, and the source of the power of the Gods so that he can have the ability to not only bring back the thing he misses most but make this time around she stays around. He is insane yes, but she is a representation of what little sanity remains inside of him; when kakuzu may feel he is ready to fall over the edge, she will always hold him back the memory of his wife. It is also this attachment to his wife, this determination to meet his goal that makes Kakuzu the ice cold monster he has become. At the end of the day no God, or person will ever experience the amount of loyalty that he has towards his wife dead as she may be, she is why he is willing to do all that he does. She is why he spends tireless nights hopelessly trying to reanimate corpses, tirelessly trying to find immortality, all this mad determination stems from the desire to have his wife back.

Even so, rest assured that no one besides Kakuzu knows about his wife, and be well warned that despite this humanity that sparks like a dull ember in his soul. You cannot by any means trust this man, he will chew you up, spit you out, and be done with you once you have fulfilled your worth. Kakuzu is insane, and he has no regret for any of his actions, the mad devil will continue his rampaging madness for as long as he can breath. All with the ultimate goal of obtaining what he so selfishly wants back...

However this knowledge of where to cut, and sever can also be implemented to other edged weapons that he can get his hands on. As for his main weapon it is really a modified Naginata that he got his hands on, the weapon is made of a 4 foot metallic pole that connects to a sharpened blade head that reaches around 3 feet in length.

To say he was raised in a normal household would be a lie, Kakuzu was not raised under normal circumstances. He was raised in practically a war torn city, the city of Shekara, the war zone was always violent battles for survival broke out constantly. A young Kakuzu had to witness his father kill men routinely, the man who would raise him would be the very one to open the first door to his sons madness. With the survive or be killed mentality, his father would waste no time to teach Kakuzu the skills he would need to survive this war, a war that would wage for years mind you, the first lesson was the strength in numbers. No lone wolf ever made it very far in these lands, So Kakuzu was taught to always have a skill to offer, that is what the gangs of this warring land favored those with skills that could be exploited that way they would use them to advance their own plans; however Kakuzu's father was sure to teach his son to always deceive. Seem as if it he is being used when in reality he is the one who is manipulating the gangs for his own gains.

It was for this reason that Kakuzu would allow his passion to become his greatest tool, for as far back as he could remember he knew he had an interest in human anatomy. He was always curious as to how things worked, how he would further investigate the body to learn more about it. When he was seventeen years old, Kakuzu would be put to the test he would find himself involved with a local gang, a small group of thugs that worked as hired muscles for the more powerful gangs. It was with this group that he would get his first chance to show off his skills with medical supplies, what rag tag medical kit he could carry around he would use it in order to tend to a wound that one of his companions suffered. Kakuzu will remembers how he felt when he saw the crimson liquid spilling from the open wound, how he saw the fat roll like a curtain, and the bare flesh underneath exposed to the elements.

Kakuzu remembers this day, the screams from his comrade as his hands grabbed around squeezing whatever they could reach, his hands working the wound the raw flesh being tugged, pinched, and stabbed by his rusty needles. Kakuzu worked as quickly as he could, use what he had in the end he would succeed in properly tending to the wound. Long story short Kakuzu would be successful in tending to the wound, he would manage to close it properly; needless to say this would be only the first of many such on the field procedures he would perform. learning early on to work under pressure Kakuzu became proficient in working fast, and doing it right the man gained plenty of experience in his younger years. But with this success came  reputation, one that eventually reached the ears of one of the larger gangs in the area...

Kakuzu would be recruited into one of the major gangs, he was not forced, and he didn't think twice about abandoning his old 'comrades'. When Kakuzu joined that larger gang is when he had the resources to better perform the experiments, a larger gang meant more man power, and more man power would equal more deadly force which allowed this gang to better collect resources whether they stole them from smaller gangs or, they scavenged them. It did not matter to Kakuzu all he knew was that as long as he continued to perform his work as the reliable doctor he was pretty much left alone, It was in the middle of this career that Kakuzu met his wife to be, her name was Elizabeth he still remembers the first time he laid eyes on her. She was the most striking thing he had ever seen, her pale complexion, her flowing blonde hair, those stunning green eyes...she was the perfect specimen in his eyes.

Yet, the good doctor did not see this woman how he did many others he came across; she was no simple guinea pig there was something more here, there was a strong pull that had taken hold of Kakuzu's mind, and was pulling him towards the blonde haired woman. She was a member of the gang that Kakuzu was a member of, as a part of the scavenging groups the silver topped doctor would interact with her when she brought him new medical supplies to work with. It was through these interactions that Kakuzu was presented with an opportunity to work with her; Elizabeth was a curious soul, she would poke around the doctors laboratory, looking through his files, and looking at the corpses he worked with. It surprised Kakuzu, and both relieved him that the woman did not find his work repulsive, or disgusting, instead she genuinely asked him about it, and was one of the few people that Kakuzu had social interactions with.

As time went on Elizabeth would tease Kakuzu in a playful way, make up nicknames for him because he always found himself buried in his notes, or elbow deep in guts. Whatever the case the girl always found reason to tease the doctor, eventually Kakuzu would tease back, and from this playful friendship a bond would form, a much deeper connection between two compatible souls. The doctor who was once secluded, and confined to the walls of his laboratory would begin to take part in different activities along with Elizabeth, slowly spending more time with her. However, as normal as he wanted to be...Kakuzu was far from it, with this attachment to Elizabeth came an over protective nature that would bloom into bloody murder one day, all because Kakuzu felt jealousy something he was not familiar with, and he only responded to it in the most natural way that he could. It all started when Kakuzu started to notice that Elizabeth was starting to enjoy the company of another man, he did not know if they were friends, or enemies all he knew was that they were spending time together, and the mad doctor did not like this. His response was to wait, like a lion stalking his prey he watched the man, and memorized his routine when he had his chance, he took it without a moment of hesitation Kakuzu would slit the man's throat draining him of blood on the spot. He waited for the man to be alone, and for his fellow gang members to be unaware of his actions, when the man was dead Kakuzu would skin the body from top to bottom strap it down to one of his tables, and then got Elizabeth to come down to his laboratory to show her his handy work telling her it was another corpse he had come across on the battlefield someone he was experimenting on.

Unaware of the gruesome reality Elizabeth would speak to Kakuzu, the corpse of the man she was growing to like lying between them both skinned so that she would be unable to recognize that he had ended up being a victim of the uncontrollable lust that now drove Kakuzu. As time passed the doctor made sure to draw Elizabeth closer to him, as a result the two became closer their bond that was once a bond of friendship, evolving into a romance. This woman would bloom into a beautiful relationship, one that changed even kakuzu the doctor would come to grow fond of Elizabeth company. As time passed many would believe the mad devil had found his anchor, the one thing that would keep his sanity grounded, and put the man on the route to recovery. But it would not be so for the doctor, Elizabeth would fall ill suddenly her health rapidly depleting Kakuzu would do everything he would, with the knowledge he had in order to try to save her life.

Yet, this was a sickness he had never faced before a simple cold, or even a severe injury he could handle but his experience with viral, and bacterial infections was very limited. Thanks to his connection to the gang, he was able to collect enough materials to keep his wife alive artificially he would put her in a coma. Kakuzu would leave his wife in this comatose state until he could find a way to heal her, find a cure to her illness; unfortunately the doctor would never be given the chance to do this, the gang politics of this world would force him to flee.

With the gang structure in ruins, Kakuzu would flee the land making his way to another far off land known as Domhan Tir, the whereabouts of his wifes body are unknown, and the whereabouts of the mad devil are also unknown. All that is know is that he survived the downfall of his gang, but his current status is up in the air a mystery....
