| Name: Zenkichi Nickname: the Prophet of Jashin Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 180cm Weight: 65kg Appearance: Zenkichi stands at an average height of approximately one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, and weighs a healthy 65 kilograms. Although Zenkichi has maintained a lean physique, his muscles are naturally compact which gives him a thinner appearance than most while still allowing him to retain his physical strength and endurance. He keeps his dull yellow hair at a moderately short length, usually allowing some to cover his dreary eyes. Zenkichi's skin is lightly tanned from spending the majority of his time in the outdoors after being freed. His face is notably void of fat and his defined jawline is somewhere between average and slender. A small portion of his upper torso is scarred with minor burn and cut wounds, though they had faded over the years and aren't as easily visible. Zenkichi wears a default stoic expression with furrowed eyebrows that typically display his indifferent personality. Zenkichi is typically seen wearing a light weight brown hooded coat over his loose fitting, white shirt. In addition, he wears brown loose fitting pants, and a pair of handmade leather sandals. On his head, Zenkichi puts on his hood to help block the sun from his eyes and keep the heat from his face. Zenkichi usually wears his headband around his arm, hidden in his cloak. Village: Kirigakure Character Rank: D Clan: Jashin Element: N/A Personality: Zenkichi is an intelligent person who is very calm, and sophisticated. When Zenkichi is out with everyone, he acts as a sociable, likeable, and often easy going person. He would also pretend to show that he has lots of weak points and openings. However, in reality, this is a mask to hide his true nature. He would pretend to lower his defense to make others underestimate him. While he might act as a care-free person, he is however already plotting 3 steps ahead with 3 different actions. In battle, Zenkichi is very cold and tactical. He is prepared to sacrifice anyone, the innocents or the wicked, to achieve his goal. He believes that he would sacrifice anything for the greater good. Like he says, "One life for the life of many". In battle, Zenkichi would show no mercy to his opponents. He prefers fighting stealthily rather than going all brash and abrupt, head-to-head, battle. He rather plans from the backline rather than going to the frontlines. Although he uses his mind more than actions, he has the skills to back up his plans. When he fights a head on battle, he can use his mind to tactically plan ahead or try to predict the enemy's move. He would try to play with his opponent's mind by baiting them to perform a certain action by showing them an opening. Although he appears to have many "friends", Zenkichi doesn't trust most of them. In fact, he trusts almost no one. He merely think of them as pawns; they're there just to help him achieve a higher goal. He believes trust, friendship and emotions would just hold him back. Therefore, he tries his best to remove all his emotions front his heart, and use them only as a mask. However, there are a chosen few that has actually earned his trust. Those people are whom he actually cares and share his emotions and true self to. These handful of people whom he call friends are those that have made an impact in his life. Though he is from a rich family, Zenkichi never once relied on his family's riches, name, nor background to gain or achieve his goals. To him, the trials and tribulations to one's goals are what makes achieving your goal worthwhile. One of his favorite quote is, "The best part of a trip is not the destination, but the trip there." Character History: - Birth and abduction:
Zenkichi's origins are quite humble and don't make for a particularly good story, though what happens after that changes that view. Nii'gata, Kazuha was the name his Father went by at that time. He and his wife, Zenkichi's Mother Anei Kimura, were both shinobi that loyally served the Kirigakure Government. His Mother worked as a ramen seller, whereas his Father was a Jounin that lead a genin squad. As a reputable Jounin of Kirigakure, his father had made his fair share of enemies, which lead to Zenkichi's abduction. During those times, disappearing children were common. No trace is left when these children were abducted. Neither can their fate be traced. A specific ANBU group was started just to prevent and solve this case, but it wasn't successful. Zenkichi was one of the few unlucky children to get abducted. 3 month old Zenkichi was in his mum's shop when it happened. The abduction happened in the evening as Kimura was closing her store. She then took Zenkichi and walked back home. Whatever happened next was swift; Kimura was killed, and Zenkichi disappeared without a trace. His existence disappeared, and no one will ever imagine such horrible, inhumane stuff that will befall upon Zenkichi.
- Childhood in Hell:
After being abducted, Zenkichi was sent to a lab, hidden deep in the forest. This lab, unknown to everyone, was lead by a missing-nin scientist that was supposed to be sentenced to death due to human experiments. However, he faked his death, and started this lab, together with insane people who agrees with his views. The scientist's name was Dr.Zeref. Zenkichi was placed in the care of one of the scientist that would take care of him till the age of 6. While raising him, he was assigned to Experiment Envy, an experiment to create a human that can transform himself to another person based on genetic memories. From then on till the age of 6, samples of his hair was taken and used to see if he is compatible with the drug made. He was taught simple language, both oral and reading. When he reached age 6, he was put together with the other kids, or guinea pigs, to stay together. They were locked in a huge, dark basement, and food was brought to them only twice a day. They were expected to fight for their food, and those that are too weak to fight, die. In that room, Zenkichi was able to put his instincts to the test. He had to fight and kill for the sake of survival. He was in constant threat, and there is no one there that he could trust, except one person-Yui, his first friend. They first met when light appeared in the dark room as one of the staff brought food. Zenkichi fought a kid for food, and after a long struggle, Zenkichi saw an opening. He took advantage of it, and killed the boy. The fight, however took toll on Zenkichi. Zenkichi had twisted his leg, and that means he would have a huge disadvantage during the next meal. Ignoring his injuries, Zenkichi limped to his corner for his solitude. He then started eating. As he ate, he felt a strong presence approaching him. He then stood up and assumed a retaliating stance. The figure, however, was just a girl. Knowing that he should never underestimate his opponent, his stance did not falter. The girl, however, did not plan to fight Zenkichi. All she did was sit down and asked for a bit. Zenkichi, who then felt a weird sensation, or feeling in his heart, broke the bread and gave her half of it. He then sat down and continued eating. However, he did not lower his guard. He observed the girl as he ate, making sure he was ready to retaliate if the girl decides to attack him. After eating, the girl thanked him and gave him a smile. She then bid farewell and left. This smile made Zenkichi feel a feeling he never felt before-happiness. After that, Zenkichi tried healing his leg. With the cloth from the food wrapper, he tried to bandage the wound. However, the second meal came too soon, and poor Zenkichi was still tending to his wounds. He thought to himself, "Meh, skipping one meal wouldn't kill." However, deep inside him, he knows skipping a meal can be fatal in this room. Predators are always around, prepared to strike whenever they see their enemy weakened. However, something unexpected happened. The girl came, and gave him some food too. She was Zenkichi's first friend, and also his first love. They slowly, but steadily, grew closer, and worked together to survive. They were the first, and only alliance among the room, and that was their niché, which allowed them to survive, like the law of survivability. They would always talk about the outside world, and how one day they will escape together. However, fate has another plan for Zenkichi.
- Hell breaks loose:
Zenkichi and Yui grew closer each day, and worked together to survive till they were 13 years old. Through these years, they depended on each other. Having an alliance in this room served well, as they were able to overcome the rest of the mavericks. One day, as they were doing their own daily routines of surviving, the door slammed open. It wasn’t time to feed, though. A man ran in and grabbed Yui. Three group of shinobi followed him in, and without hesitating, he placed a knife on Yui’s throat. “Come near me, and I will kill this girl.” The three shinobi stood there, in a guarded position. Suddenly, one of them disappeared, and appeared right behind the scientist. Grabbing unto him and locking him down, he shouted to the others. “It’s a successful mission, g-“ Just before he could finish his sentence, spikes shot out of the scientist, impaling the shinobi…. And Yui. The other shinobi jumped in and started subduing the scientist, but Zenkichi ran towards Yui. Yui’s stomach was completely impaled by the spike, and it was bleeding profusely. As Zenkichi tried to stop the bleeding, his eyes let out tears which he could not stop. Yui placed her hand on Zenkichi’s, as she uttered, “It’s okay, Zen… I-it’s too late… Well, at least you’re free now right? Y-you’re able to live happily now… P-please, take this…” Yui took Zenkichi’s hand and placed it on her necklace. “Keep this, to remember me. Enjoy the world for my sake too… Z-zen… I…Love… you…” Yui’s eyes then shut, as her heart stopped bleeding. Zenkichi gave out the loudest wail he ever did.
What happened next was too vague for Zenkichi. All he remembered was being taken away, and next thing he knew, he was in the orphanage.
- Empty days:
3 years have passed, and Zenkichi was now 16. He still stayed in the orphanage. He had been a genin for 3 years, since he did not show much performance. He had already been in 3 different teams, but he never showed any participation. He would just spend his days on the orphanage’s rooftop as he stared at the sky. He hated the world. He hated everything. Why did it had to be Yui? Of all the kids in there, why Yui?
This boring life of his changed when he was forced to do a mission by the orphanage’s caretaker. He was supposed to look for herbs in the outskirts of the city. This wasn’t a request; it was an order. The caretaker had had enough of Zenkichi wasting his life away, and decided to start giving him chores. Zenkichi obliged, and headed off to the outskirts. Although Zenkichi had barely trained, his fighting prowess is still above the rest. True, he might not know anything about Ninjutsu, but he was still an expert in hand-to-hand combat, due to the days he spent in the “Room”. He was also an expert of turning anything he can find into a weapon.
As he entered the outskirts, he started searching for the herbs that was on the list. Some were easy to locate, others seemed to be imaginary. As he was searching, he suddenly felt chills to his bone, as he felt something… weird. It was a chilling sensation; it felt like a suppressive killing intent, but it doesn’t feel like it was directed at him. He stood still, and could hear some movement sound ahead. Moved by curiosity, Zenkichi quietly moved towards the source of the sound.
He soon caught sight of the source; he soon found a man in the centre. The man was standing still, with his palms together, as he uttered a weird incantation. As he slowly walked closer, he could see something in front of the man. He could see a circle with an inverted triangle. These shapes were made in the color of red… just like… blood. That wasn’t what scared Zenkichi. It was the thing in the middle of the pattern- a dead deer. Is this… a blood sacrifice to the demons? This thought scared Zenkichi, causing him to step back in surprise, which resulted in him stepping back and breaking a twig. This caught the attention of the man, and before Zenkichi could react, the man was already behind Zenkichi. “Hmm… who are you?” After being caught, Zenkichi was interrogated by the man. The man felt a strange vibe around Zenkichi; a vibe full of death. He then pressed Zenkichi on this matter. Since he didn’t have a choice, Zenkichi was forced to retell the nightmares. He told of his life in the lab, where killing was a daily norm, and he now felt a sense of guilt. However, the man stopped him as he said, “Why are you feeling guilty? You’re doing the will of God afterall! Lord Jashin must be proud of you!” This made Zenkichi curious. This man was the first to tell him that all these murders he had done was not only acceptable, but the will of God? Seeing Zenkichi’s confused face, the man smiled as he explained Jashinism to Zenkichi. The man, who introduced himself as Takeshi, told him that this act of murder is the will of Jashin. Lord Jashin expects that all his followers bring nothing less than utter destruction and death. These destructions and deaths were a pleasing and delight to Lord Jashin. Why feel guilty when you can feel happy, knowing that you’re appeasing a God? This thought gave Zenkichi mixed feeling. On that day, Zenkichi joined the cult known as Jashinism.
- Jashinism:
After that day, Zenkichi spent each and everyday with the man named Takeshi. They would go around, killing animals and beast in the forest, and sacrifice them to Lord Jashin. After that, Takeshi would explain an preach more about their God. Zenkichi was also given a book about Jashinism, which contains all the laws and teachings of their belief. Zenkichi continued each day as a pious believer of this God. He understands this cult’s stand very well. This world is cruel. It is Zenkichi’s will to get rid of it, to appease Lord Jashin’s will of imposing judgment to this cruel world. He would pray to Lord Jashin every morning and night, and would offer a sacrifice to him everyday without fail. Maybe it was fate, or due to his piousness, that he was bestowed a power by Jashin; the power of Immortality. With this power, Zenkichi swore on that day, that he will share the belief of destruction to the whole world-in the name of Jashin… and Yui.
