Daedalus, the Puppet King

Seiyuuki Uindo
"Daedalus"
Male, 26 Years Older, 7'3" and 672 lbs.
Sunagakure Chuunin
Akatsuki
Puppetry, Weaponry, and Sealing Specialist

Appearance:

Standing just over the seven foot mark, Daedalus is a behemoth of a man, his body having been crafted, rather than birthed. While most of his features remain hidden beneath his rather dark attire, he does have an incredibly impressive physique, given it's "sculpted" nature. Atop his head rests a wide brimmed black cap, and straight, shoulder length, strands of black hair protrude. His hair couldn't frame his face any better, for he would appear to be wearing a porcelain mask at all times. On the contrary, that is his actual crafted visage. From the neck down, his body is mainly covered by either a large black cloak, or his akatsuki one, beneath that, his chest remains bare and regular jounin leggings and sandals adorn his lower half.

Overall Persona:

Daedalus is at heart, sheer chilling evil. While morbid and deranged, he often masks this with a cheerful and humorous exposure, giving off a cruel, twisted and maniacal atmosphere. He enjoys games of intellect, often mentally and verbally toying with his opponents, whom he often considers no more than simple prey. As a member of Akatsuki, he is highly loyal to his peers and leader, although his actions often lead his trustees into doubt, given he usually adopts a means to an ends strategy.

Kugutsu no Jutsu [Puppetry Technique]
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Mid-Long
Kugutsu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that allows a ninja to use a puppet to attack from afar. Using their body's chakra, the ninja emits strings of chakra that run from their fingers to the puppet. The puppet itself can be loaded with many weapons and tools, allowing the puppet master to remain hidden while the puppet moves and attacks the target.

Hitokugutsu [Human Puppet]
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: -
Hitokugutsu is a Ninjutsu technique used by puppet master Seiyuuki. This technique allows Seiyuuki to make a puppet which can contain and use chakra. Seiyuuki does this by making a living human into a puppet. This puppet will maintain the same chakra its original body held when alive. If the original ninja was highly skilled, its puppet can retain these abilities as well. Even the ninja's unique body traits will be passed on to its puppet form. Thus Seiyuuki can still use all the original jutsu the ninja once utilized.
Limit: Can only convert dead player characters into Human Puppets. Training post is required per puppet, and length is based on character rank. D Rank: 500 Words, C Rank: 1000 Words, B Rank: 1500 Words, A Rank: 2000 Words, S Rank: 4000 Words.

Kuchiyose: Atogama no Jutsu [Summoning: Replacement Technique}
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: -
Atogama no Jutsu is a technique use in conjunction with Daedalus' puppetry, and more specifically himself. Having painted small seals in specific locations on his body Daedalus can activate a summoning technique by simply tapping one with a finger. This object summoning is unique, in the fact that it will first whisk away an object to make room for it's replacement. This technique is the key to Daedalus' combative style. As such, he's practiced this to the point where it merely takes a sliver of chakra, a small enough amount that it is replaced within seconds.

W E A P O N

Name: Daedalus: Mk 5.
Rank: S
Description: The most powerful weapon at Daedalus' disposal is his own body, having been converted into a puppet long ago. Forged of solid steel, the frame itself is nearly indestructible, rendering many taijutsu and ninjutsu attacks useless. Additionally, with a digital sensory system in place of working receptive organs, typical genjutsu also has no effect, given there's usually a lack of means to target him. Daedalus stands roughly seven feet tall, and weighs nearly six hundred pounds, given it's reinforced frame, this makes a punch from the behemoth extremely dangerous, great weight and strength behind every blow it deals out. It's most useful ability however, comes from a technique Daedalus invented, in which small seals are riddled about the puppet, each corresponding to a limb or part. When tapped with the forefinger of either hand and infused with chakra, the seal activates, performing first a reverse summoning to whisk away the part the seal corresponds to, and then a summoning technique to bring in a new part. In this way, Daedalus has an arsenal far greater than any regular puppet body could hold, eliminating many weaponry restrictions.
Origin: Daedalus: Mk 5 is the fifth body that Seiyuuki Uindo has built for, and transferred his heart container into. Each piece was mined, smithed and fitted to extremely precise architecture.

Additionally, due to the reinforced frame and additional weight, the puppeteer can hand out much more demolishing blows himself, little being able to stand up to the weight and force of solid steel.

History:

A Dangerous Breed Arc

Seiyuuki Uindo spent most of his life, if not nearly all of it, within the Wind Country. Being the son of two extremely well off parents, his early life and childhood went rather smoothly, and when he was old enough, he was enrolled in the Shinobi Academy after expressing some interest for it to his family. While his graduation occured without a hitch, Seiyuuki was a below average genin, capable of nothing to set him apart from the pact. This developed an inner most greed for power, and although it didn't initially corrupt his loyalty to his village and fellow nin, but that this lack of strength left Seiyuuki on the hunt for more, Puppetry to be precise. Now while this isn't to say that puppetry is a nefarious practice, it does indeed have it's swathes of darkness to it, and for someone who, like Seiyuuki, invested much into their pride, it was those dark corners of the art that he would eventually be drawn into. As all rich folks do, his parents threw money at the problem, and soon, Seiyuuki had his own wing of the house converted into a laboratory, where he was then left alone for hours, if not practically days at a time, to study and tinker away. His first couple sets of puppets were failures, his technique completely wrong, his crafting skills sub-par. The next few on the other hand were successful enough to grant him a chuunin rank, a certain niche he had found for the craft facilitating the project. His control style and technique were still far below what the average puppeteer could do, and as such, Seiyuuki made up for it by increasing the deviousness of his puppets, finding that his mind grasped the art of pain and destruction more so than it did concentration and reserve. These were but the first of many steps that would one day create a monster.


The Inevitable Arc

To kill unnoticeably was hard though. Seiyuuki spent nights up late, working hard on perfecting technique. Sleeping late into the day, his parent’s could feel something was wrong, but who would they tell? They were respected, it was no interest of theirs having the town know their sun was acting strangely. His mother, when Seiyuuki was fourteen, had found some of his pajamas, still coated in blood. She died soon after, never the less. What you must understand, is that this was simply the tip of the iceberg. After all, Seiyuuki was still just researching. It was shortly after the death of his mother (her whereabouts still unknown to the authorities) that Seiyuuki finally began to understand. He finally began to grasp the perfection he had been studying. It was immortality, preservance. It was godly in his eyes, he needed to create it, to have it. All this time he had been committing the research in an old farm, far from town. It was time to devise that into his laboratory.


To Birth Demons Arc

It was there, in that inconspicuous barn, out in the middle of nowhere that they poured; Demons, monsters, every last one of them. Seiyuuki would take their bodies, carve away their humanity with a skinning knife and turn them into weapons, no, PIECES OF ART! It was still not enough though, puppet after puppet was created. The wood seemed fragile, their presence not nearly foreboding enough. He needed more, more and more, but, what to do? His fears having become a reality, Seiyuuki quit. He gave up, burned the barn down, there was no hope in the mind of the young Artiste. Falling into a dreary slum, Seiyuuki turned to working at his father’s diamond and gem shop (hence the family’s riches). It was there that he spent the next two years, the dreams of a shinobi doused by artist’s block. To Seiyuuki it was a shame. Until he was sixteen, he spent his days grinding away at diamond after diamond. It was then, then that it came to him. His family had been so supportive, how could he not have realized it.


To Birth Gods Arc

Seiyuuki now knew how to cut the diamond, and where to get it. The only problem was, he only had a vein large enough to create one puppet. The results of improper planning or a mistake could thus be disastrous. Taking his time, Seiyuuki moulded a new puppet, the process taking nearly six months to simply get the shape correct. Seiyuuki needed to go slow though, one mistake would mean all th- He slipped! The diamond router gashed the chest of the large mannequin. Seiyuuki was reduced to tears. Yet once again ruin brewed corruption. Returning to his work, Seiyuuki examined the gash, and began to work on edging it out, making it wider. Nearly a year after he started, Seiyuuki finished the puppet. An entire body of diamond, any solid pieces nothing but. The joints were made of steel. But there was still something missing. This time however, the still young puppet master at the age of sixteen, knew exactly what it was. Working in private recesses of his father’s shop, Seiyuuki began to build what he had heard about for years, a heart box. Returning to the abandoned barn, Seiyuuki performed the sickening ritual with precision. His life, and the life of his art, depended on it. It was at that moment of pure desperation, of power lust... that Daedalus was born.

That very same barn was found years later, skinned bodies and human puppets lining it’s interiors, and a laboratory completely smashed to ruin.


The Akatsuki Arc

It may not come too hard for you to understand, reader, that Daedalus had fled Sunagakure shortly after his horrific transformation. It was at this time, now that he was a missing nin, that he had time to hone his others skills. He became known as a destructive monster, as a master of puppetry and seal work. It was somewhere along this period of time when Akatsuki recruited him. From them and their records, he only improved his puppet work further. Their purpose? Seiyuuki cared little for that. He truly had become a monster at this point, and if aiding Akatsuki was what would earn him power, then so be it.
