Weight: 156 lbs

Looks:

(Optional)
Casual
For casual wear, Sou contains a variety of T shirts, jeans, button up shirts, coats, suit pants, boots, shoes, dress shoes, and other civilian-Esquire wear from whence he chooses as he pleases. There is no set standard for his dress when casual.


Typical
Sou typically, when not on duty, wears a Black-and-red hooded duster, blue slacks, and a pair of boots. He has recently cut and dyed his hair silver, reminiscent of his old hair style when he was a member of Foundation.

Jounin
When roaming Konohgakure, Sou wears the typical Konohagakure flak-vest over a dark colored tunic and leggings. His sandals are boot-style, going up his shin almost to the knee and covering a portion of his leggings. Under the sleeves of his tunic, Sou wears a leather arm straps that cover his right arm from shoulder to hand where it ends in a fingerless glove-style covering. This is worn under his gauntlets as well.

Foundation Armor
Hunter Armor(Kiri version of Hunter armor)
Hunter Mask(White with red swirls)
White cloak(black on shoulders for squad leader) the right sleeve is much longer than necessary -- completely concealing his right arm. On the other hand, his left sleeve is cut short to his shoulder, revealing his entire left arm.

Personality:
Setoshi outwardly portrays himself as a laid back individual, almost lazy while being exceedingly graceful. He is a multifaceted individual, aware of his surroundings at all times while having an air of ease about him. One doesn't look at him and expect a shinobi, but in combat that is all one sees. Unfortunately, or fortunately in some cases, being around his Mentor, Hybris, he tends to have an effect on him, making him far more amorous than is typical. His favorite food is any and all types of pasta and rice dishes.

With the adaptation to his demonic arm, Setoshi's personality has recently become underscored with a slightly darker nature. While his general personality remains the same, there are moments where he radiates malevolence and evil. This is the inevitable taint the demon in his arm has on all of it's hosts, but fortunately due to Sou's immense will power it hasn't progressed as far as it did with it's previous host, Akujin.

Special Characteristics:
Unranked
Tsukimono
[Devil Possession]
Through the events after Akujin's death, Sou-- with the aid of Hybris -- has sealed the Raikou Akuma into his right arm. The sealed demon has transformed his right arm into a demonic appendage, and causes him pain at random intervals, and will until he has fully mastered it. With the demon sealed in his right arm, as opposed to his body in general, Sou is less affected by the demonic suggestions that transformed Akujin into what he had become, and can suppress the demonic whispers with his mental fortitude.

The sealed arm has grown a red-and-blue carapace, reminiscent of the black carapace that formerly engulfed Akujin's entire body save only on his right arm. The carapace is durable enough to defend against most bladed weapons, increases the physical strength in Sou's right arm, and continually pulses with electrical energy which can be freely used. The sealed demon also gives Sou an increased chakra level when he draws upon the demon's power, and allows him to use certain Raiton techniques without hand seals, though they must originate from his right arm. The carapace is not so bulky as to keep him from wearing his gauntlets, however.

Zokusei no Kemono
[Attribute of a Beast]
During his capture and torment, Sou's chest was cut open at one point -- and when it healed it became the unique half-moon scar on his chest -- and his tormentors implanted a synthetic gene that has slowly spread itself throughout his entire body. During peaks of anger Sou's body undergoes a bestial transformation, his eyes turning blood red and glowing, his fingers elongating and becoming claw-like, his teeth elongating into fangs, and his face taking on a semi-feral appearance.

While in this form, Sou goes berserk and attacks that which angers him as well as anything else that attracts his attention untill his anger is spent. After the transformation fades, he has no memory of what transpired during it -- which accounts for some of his lost memories. This was the first experimentation they applied to his body, though by no means the last.

Zokusei no Akuma
[Attribute of the Devil]
During his capture and torment, Sou's chest was cut open, which resulted in the unique half-moon scar on his chest, Around the same time that his tormentors implanted the synthetic Beast Gene, they also implanted a synthetic Devil Gene. This gene's initial activation occurs when he takes a severe injury, which hasn't occurred yet. After it's initial activation, Sou will be able to control the gene with an effort of will. When activated, Sou's skin takes on a much darker tone, almost black, with the half-moon scar on his chest turning pale. His ears are elongated and pointed, his incisors become fangs, his eyes turn red and slitted, and his nails elongate into claws.

While in this form, Sou isn't berserk. His regenerative powers, physical strength and chakra strength are both increased a great deal. At the same time, this form puts a constant drain on his chakra and body, exhausting him. This ability was activated by Banrai Guin when he hit Sou in the chest with a spear of lightning.. This was the second, but not the last, experiment performed on Sou.

Raikage no Shōten
[Focus of the Lightning Shadow]
Sou has always been renowned for his chakra control, and as he has grown it too has improved. With the acquisition, and acclimation, of his demon arm his willpower has been stressed to a point few humans ever reach, and he's come out victorious. Because of this, Sou's chakra control has reached levels never before seen in Kumogakure and most of the shinobi world.

With his immense level of chakra control, Sou has gained the ability to redirect his Ninjutsu attacks mid-flight, sustain his ranged attacks for an even greater distance, and even show the same control over elemental chakra as he has over his razorchain - allowing him to utilize whips of electrical or wind chakra without having his razorchain gauntlets equipped. In addition, his perception and willpower have been elevated.

Raijin
[Lightning God]
Having acclimated himself to his demonic right arm, Sou has developed the ability to extend his electrical prowess from that arm to the rest of his body, allowing him to emit electricity without hand-seals from any point of his body simply by using his immense level of chakra control to funnel the demon's electrical nature through the rest of his body's circulatory system, allowing it to be emitted from any point on his body at any time.

[Attribute of Hell]
During his capture and torment, Sou's chest was cut open, which resulted in the unique half-moon scar on his chest, Around the same time that his tormentors implanted the synthetic Beast and Devil genes, they also implanted a synthetic Hell Gene. The original intent of this gene is unknown, for the demon sealed within Sou's right arm has warped it to further suit it's purposes.

Whenever Sou's mental defense against the demon has been eroded, such as being severely injured and rendered unconscious, this gene will activate and give the sealed demon control of Sou's body - warping it into a twisted vision of it's former host. The carapace fully encases Sou's form, providing oxygen through 'intake valves' located under the arms and on the back of the neck. Glowing electrical 'eyes' allow the demonic presence vision, but do not connect in any way to Sou's body. The hardened carapace itself serves as the Demon's body, the body of Sou trapped within merely being sustenance so long as he is unable to control the demon's will.

The outer shell of this form is extremely durable, capable of withstanding an avalanche much less most conventional shinobi weapons, and has access to all of the demon's electrical abilities, much as Akujin did when he was alive. This form can only be stopped by Sou's will, much like the demon has been held at bay by him.

History/Background Story: (In Another Post)

Rp Sample: Mmhhmmhmhm . . .

Two years. For two years, Sou, or better known as Bliss, has been missing from Konohagakure no Sato. Two years ago, he was sent out on a mission by his beloved Arkianna, a mission he had given his all to complete. Two years ago, that mission went awry, and took Sou to places he had never before dared dream. Though little is left in Sou's mind of these dark times, he remembers clearly the face of his tormentors, and the fresh scars that he carries now. This is not all that was left on him though, the mark of those who held him captive is also forever scarred into his flesh -- Directly on Sou's chest, he has a scar that is shaped like a half-moon with a scratch through the left, right, and bottom sections of it -- all connecting to a dot in the middle of his chest, which has a line going from it upwards to just below his throat -- the scar is deep, and looks like it took some time to heal.

During the long year of his capture, he was tortured both physically and mentally. Placed in mind-wrenching illusions, and his body torn only to be made whole again, he was slowly destroyed from the inside out. The truth, though he would never know, was that this was a set up for something even larger to come. He was merely a guinea pig, and during these long sessions of pain, something.. sinister.. was implanted within him.

Whatever reasons Sou was tortured are beyond him now, but throughout it all he had a reason to keep consciousness, or to keep alive. So as to not betray the trust of his love, and the secrets of his love... Arkianna, the Foundation, Root. It was the thoughts of her that lay searing in his brain that allowed him to remain alive, and allowed him to plot the escape that he eventually made. Now, he is hunted. Now, he is prey. After he escaped, he had no idea as to where he was. He could not get his bearings at all... The experiments that had been performed on him had left him... empty inside, but for Arkianna... And so, he set off, attempting to return to his rightful home.

For a year he had been gone from the world, and now he returned to it unsure. Half-healing, half-searching, he spent a good bit of a year merely searching for civilization, trying to remember fully who he truly was. Eventually, he discovered the way back to his home and began the long and painful journey back to Konohagakure. Along the way, he discovered that his captors were not about to let him go easily and was forced to defend himself again and again, proving his strength even if he did not remember his title as 'Strongest' in Konohagakure.... only to find himself, injured, back at the doorstep of his home...

After weeks of rehabilitation, it was discovered that Sou had been implanted with non-human DNA in a scientific experiment by the Nara nukeninja known as Kichigai. Working for Orochimaru, he had been trying to recreate specific abilities desirable by the snake, but to no success -- having used both himself and Sou as guinea pigs.

One of the genes in Sou caused him to turn into a form of werewolf and go berserk around Konohagakure, at which point he was stopped by Banrai Guin -- who accidentally activated the second gene, which restored Sou's memories as it regenerated wounds inflicted by Guin. With time, Sou became capable of controlling both of these aspects of his body, and regained all of his memories.

Soon after, Arkianna stepped down as Foundation Leader to care for their newborn daughter, at which point Kumani Mushou took office. This marked the end of Sou's involvement in the Root, as he looked into finding and finally ending Akujin. It was discovered, however, that he was too late. After Akujin destroyed Otogakure and vanished, he resurfaced in Iwagakure and -- for some reason -- let himself get killed by the Tsuchikage of the moment.

The Raikou Akuma was then released on the world, and trudged it's way towards Konohagakure. Meeting it as it entered Kaminari no Kuni, Kumani Mushou and Sou sealed the demon and bound him into Sou's right arm. His right arm was physically transformed by the act, but he gained full control over the Raikou Akuma in the process, finally putting to rest the legacy of his fallen comrade Akujin.

With the recent abduction and sealing of the Rokubi Jinchuuriki, Kumani Mushou [Who was also the Rokudaime Co-Leader], Sou or Bliss has been appointed to lead the Foundation,but it now undercover and hiding .
